I just got home from work, to open the Amazon package with a 100 ml bottle of Tom Ford Ombre Leather EDP and Maison Margiela Replica Beach Walk and Coffee Break, and tomorrow I'm supposed to have the 100 ml bottle of Xerjoff Naxos delivered from Amazon, and also the Parfums de Marly sample pack that I ordered from PDM. It's going to be a good weekend, with the bottle of LV LOVERS I just bought the other day!
I got a bottle of that Banana Republic Cherry fragrance from Burlington for like $25 recently. I have a soft spot for Banana Republic fragrances, because I have had Vintage Green since even before I recently got into this hobby. I have Tonka Bean and Tobacco, Neroli Woods, and the Vetiver Linen one too, and also Black Walnut Legend.
Club De Nuit intense man is a MONSTER. Every time I wear it people 2-3 feet away ask me what I’m wearing its so illuminating like Dior Sauvage Elixir is so illuminating and both are compliment monsters
For me it’s gotta be L’Occitane Eau des Baux. Cap Cedrat is also fantastic for the summer. I generally find their fragrances to be incredibly natural smelling for the price.
The occitane is by Karine Debreuil Sereni and she's my favourite perfumer. She has made some classics that are very much outside the box and occitane is one of them. That Fragrance is brilliant.
The only ones that inhave on this list are Fahrenheit and CDNIM. And I am just as enthusiastic as you about both of them. I dont care if I never get a compliment while wearing Fahrenheit. I love it! CDNIM is one of my most complimented fragrances. Good stuff for cheap!
Same and same. Very rarely do I get complimented on Fahrenheit. Not in recent years anyway. And CDNIM is one of the ones I wear that the chicks at work love hugging me for!
@@Fragrance-Fam Hehehehe, there seems to be a complimeconomy beginning here! Does the status of the chick add value to the hugs and/or compliments, do you think? Single mother, middle aged woman etc is worth two compliments per hug. Pretty younger chick is worth four.... :D
Great list as always👍By the way, if you love Hanae Mori - Him, try to get hold of a sample/bottle of the one called HM (same bottle design but with frosted glass)...it is amazing. I may even love it more than HIM...and I adore HIM. Just a tip.
An alternative to Gucci Pour Homme II (I own it) is Lalique Pour Homme Equus. And another one is a flanker of Nikos Sculpture which I spoted in a shop nearby with one left on the self.
Other reviewers never mention Magnetic leans feminine but I guess feminine frags are the thing nowadays. I like masculine frags so I appreciate your videos.
I have no idea why, and I tend to be quite forgiving of frags as long as there is a great redeeming quality about it….but I absolutely hate, still…well after a year and a half of mascerating…my bottle of CDNIM EDT🤢🤮 It has never backed down from that god awful opening, even after lengthy drydown and masceration. I just shake my head in confusion as to why others bottles don’t seem to have that horrible synthetic lemony scent to it🤷🏻♂️ Having said all that…I think the Fahrenheit EDT that I sampled but do not yet own, could easily be the greatest scent profile I have ever smelled. Simply outstanding!
I hear you on the club de nuit. I have had my bottle for close to four years and the opening sucked up until very recently. They do get better though as my bottle of cdniw took about 18 months to 2 years before it lost the bad opening and it was Truly HORRIBLE because it's an oud Fragrance
I recently got two bottles of Spongebob Squarepants in the shaped figure bottles for under $50 total. I didn't realize what I got and how hard they are to get. As well as how expensive they are on the gray market. Much cherished! Score!
@@ScentsofStyle99 I have been looking for Gary The Snail but it looks like it is very expensive and not many places have it on the secondary market. I found a lot of ten of the actual Spongebob Squarepants effigy bottles. I bought the lot on discount. I'm insane. Haha. Cheers.
Yes. It's Gary I want. I want it badly and if you purchased the spongebob fragrances you're SMART, not insane. Those are highly collectable and will be worth something.
Great video! Question ... I have Armani Stronger with You Absolutely and Guerlain L'homme Ideal EDP on my wishlist. Are they too similar to each other? Also if you can only choose one. Which are you choosing.? Cheers!!
No, they're not similar. Absolutely is a lot boozier and has more Vanilla. But if I'm choosing only one, I'm 100% going with Guerlain EDP which is one of the top 10 designer Fragrances I have ever worn.
I almost didn't buy a bottle because a couple of reviewers said it didn't have much Farenheit DNA. I bought it anyway and got it for Christmas one year and I'm glad I did because the DNA is clearly there but it's a perfectly modernized (vanilla gourmandy) version of the original Farenheit DNA. I love it but it's very difficult for me to decide which one I prefer, but it's very close either way. Both are among the top 20 designer fragrances I have ever tried and given how many fragrances I have tried (between 400 and 500) top 20 is very good.

That’s quite a fragrance hall. Well jealous 😂.
OMG!! That is sooooo cool. It's been a while since I have had a haul like that and those are all very high end Fragrances. Enjoy!

Tobacco and Tonka bean is the other one I really want. It gets a lot of positive reviews and is priced similarly to Dark Cherr.
"women don't like it but screw em!" I can't think of a better sentiment when it comes to Fahrenheit. I absolutely love the stuff!
I agree with the dark cherry and Amber. I almost bought a second bottle.
Club De Nuit intense man is a MONSTER. Every time I wear it people 2-3 feet away ask me what I’m wearing its so illuminating like Dior Sauvage Elixir is so illuminating and both are compliment monsters
Oh yeah, both are potent and it's a lot easier to get compliments when people can actually smell you.
Ineteresting list. I have a couple of bottles of Absolutely plus the Fragrance World clone. I'm good to go.

Agreed. My favorite out of over the 50+ in my collection.
Oddly enough, I heard about HM for the first time two days ago and everything I have heard is very good.
I remember buying Gucci Pour Homme II in college (2009). Super good fragrance, will definitely try out Hanae Mori.
It's a high quality clone. I have another Gucci Pour Homme II clone, but it's nowhere near as good.
fahrenheit layered with merecdes benz intense right now. MBI is same without the leather actually very nice
Hanae Mori Him, Fahrenheit and CDNIM 👌
An alternative to Gucci Pour Homme II (I own it) is Lalique Pour Homme Equus. And another one is a flanker of Nikos Sculpture which I spoted in a shop nearby with one left on the self.
I have Equus and I know about the Sculpture one but haven't tried it yet.
Love how you do these
Thank you Mike.
If I wake up and decide it’s compliment day, I can always depend on CDNI . Guaranteed compliments.Cliff

Curious to hear your thoughts on Fahrenheit Le Parfum, which is one of my top frags and an absolute keeper for me...

only I regret buying Prada L'homme 🙃
Hey man, different strokes for different folks.
Have you gotten your nose on boss elixir - top notch
Not yet, but I have heard it's one of the best new releases. I'll get to it soon for sure.
I think absolute has iris
Stronger with you Absolutely? It's not listed as a note.
@@ScentsofStyle99boss bottled absolute 🍻
@@Alritealritealrite it definitely has a powdery accord with the bran. It's not iris but I know what you're saying.
