- We're back with another edition of this series, by request!
This time, the video is sponsored by the fantastic folks at Fragrancebuy! 🇨🇦
As I mention in this video, the terms "best" and "worst" are purely meant to get your attention.
I know it's obvious that these types of judgements are completely and naturally subjective. In fact, I'm not even using them in this video. What do I mean?
Well, as I really enjoy doing, I'm using numbers to define, from 5 different well-known fragrance brands, the most worn and least worn fragrance I have in my collection from each brand. How am I doing this? With the help of my favorite fragrance-wearing tracking website: parfumo.net (not sponsored). Make an account and do your own tracking if you'd like!
Just about all the fragrances can be found at Fragrancebuy and there will be links down below!

I never noticed the sediment in Intense Cedrat Boise until I moved all my fragrances to my LED lighted cabinet last week. I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed that.
Cedrat Boise is probably my least favourite Mancera. My favourite is between Aoud Lemon Mint and Sicily. Great episode bro
Hmmmm.. Ill see what I can match.. From Creed my least worn is GIT and my most is Aventus Cologne, From PDM my least worn is Oajan and my most is Greenley, No Manceras in the collection yet so Ill sub By Kilian. Least worn is Strait to Heaven and Most worn is Apple Brandy on the Rocks. Sadly No Guerlain in the collection yet either so I'll Sub Maison Margiela. Least worn is By The Fireplace and Most Worn is Coffee Break. For Amouage Least worn is Epic Man and Most worn is also Reflection man.. Fun List mate :D
Any reason why you don't wear Oajan a lot?
Thanks! Great lineup.
I just got it a week ago :D Havent had the chance as its still a bit warm
@@Provatox
Straight to heaven is my favorite by killian
@@Emerold7777a bit warm? It has 37 degrees celsius here in Europe😂, but nice list!
I would like to say 2 things for you ..first of all you are the most true fragrance tuber and second you have the best voice and know how to speak properly.Kudos to you bro.
Wow, thank you!
I am really enjoying these 'best and worst' videos! Guerlain is a house I've never had the pleasure of experiencing. I am really looking forward to trying Shalimar, Rosa Palissandro, and Angélique Noire!
I hope you get a chance to try them sometime! Thanks for watching 🙏🏾
Dude, this series is so fun to watch. I love the content. When you are rating stuff you give every fragrance it’s due, and your overall take on the game if fun and informative. Thanks for the inspiration to try new and different juice.
Thank you!
My cedrat boise had sediment when I first got it. But it no longer has the sediment. It’s been a year since I got it.
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
Good content my 3 most wear is cedrat Boise, and intense, Layton this summer 👍🔥💯
Great to see this turn into a series. My most worn CREED is Aventus as well, but I do love bois du portugal even more. My least favorite of the brand is millesime imperial and this is because on my skin it is not detectable at all. I've smelled many Marley but used only Shagya which remains my favorite. Have to give Layton Exclusif a full wear to see if it beats it! As for Mancera, I always feel that their perfumes are not that well put together. Favorite Guerlain is L'homme Ideal Intense and least worn is Patchouli Ardent (beautiful but not the easiest to wear). My most favorite Amouage is Beach Hut Man and my least is Tobacco Royal (way too strong and not easy to wear especially in Dubai).
I didn't know you could keep track of your wearing, that's awesome, I'm going to do that now. I think my most worn is invictus, fierce and largerfeld classic
Same thing that happened with your intense cedrat boise happened with my BR540 extriat. I contacted them and they say its ok. They said :
“After verification, we are pleased to confirm to you that the picture does not show any particular external presence in the composition.
Essential oils can sometimes leave traces. Sometimes, it can disappear after a period of time, or after shaking the bottle, letting it rest for a while.”
Thanks!
Cant' wait for Mancera Redo Tobacco intense to be released!
How much intesne do you want 👀 i have Red Tobacco and think 2 sprays, at the most 3 sprays is borderline too much 🤭
😬
Wearing Reflection Man today. I really enjoy it. Amouage Jubilation XXV is EASILY my favorite from the house and in the top three favorites in my collection. Wore it Monday.
9:42 I have the same "problem" but with the original version of CB
I grabbed my Intense Cedrat Boise as soon as you said that about the sediment. Didn't have any. I also believe I prefer the original but both are great
Yes my Intense Cedrat Boise also has fine particles floating around, I noticed it immediately after opening the package. Smells great though.
Yes sir I’m loving this series
my OG Cedrat Boise with the magnetic caps has some sediment on the bottom, too 🤷♂
Hey Justin! How’s everything? I hope all is well.
I haven’t tapped in lately because I have a new career, plus I’m still attending school. However I’m doing follow up with you. Last time we talked I told you I sold all my collection so I could start over with fragrances that evoke an emotion. I’ve started a subscription with Scent Bird and they’ve recommended “chypre” fit my personality.
Knowing my ideal scent profile I venture out of what they send or have access too! I have a first love in my journey in “Atomic Rose”. The citrus with the dirty rose is so sexy. And the ice parlor vanilla dry down just makes me happy! As far as the chypre side of things, Roja Dove “Chypre Extraordinaire”. I feel better than everyone when I wear this. I know it sounds arrogant but, wow 😮.. this is a masterpiece fragrance!!
I want to scale the landscape of gourmand next but I don’t want to wear what everyone else is hyped about. Do you have any recommendations?
I’m so glad you’re discovering some scents that you love. In terms of gourmands, check out Unique’e Luxury Mangonifiscent, Ex Nihilo Love & Crime, Montale Ristretto Intense Cafe.
@@stayfreshproductions I’m about to go to google right now!! Thanks for all you do bro 🙏
@@stayfreshproductions I just received the recommendation from Unique’e Luxury. One hour in it is a really great sillage. I only have it on the back of my hand. I can’t resist smelling it like a dog looking for somewhere to pee lol 😂
@@Supacool_KennyCash 😆
Love Cedrat Boise, don’t have the intense version. Guerlain Ideal cologne.. that is very special to me and Reflection man is a “standard” of class and heavenly elegance. I feel like the top 1% of rich men..(even though I am nowhere near this). Cannot talk about BHM enough. For the Summer I really like Dior cologne and Hermes d’orang vert concentrate a lot. But 2 Summer fragrances almost everyone sleeps on are Salvatore Ferragamo Acqua Essenziale (soapy, woody clean) and Molton Brown Coastal Cypress & Sea Fennel (classy with a touch of the salty open water). I normally look for something that no one talks about. I have a lot of fragrances and they can start to become boring. So I look to be “intrigued & fascinated” by my purchases because to me nothing is worse than spending a lot of money only to realize you have something similar or it’s just BORING. Oh yeah.. honorable mention.. Creed Neroli Savauge.. buttery smooth lemon with a touch of almond..should have bought the larger bottle. That’s how you KNOW it’s good!
OMG I actually have a lot sediment in my bottle of Intense Cedrat Boise as well. Thought i was the only one with but I’m glad to see I’m not.
Great concept for a video series. There are loads of fragrances I say or tell myself that I love but the proof really is in the pudding when you actually break down the number of wears.
Now of course you need to factor in seasonality, occasion, climate, mood etc but it's still a very good insight.
Would be interested to see how this series tallies up with other video series like your fragrances where you're sure you'll finish the bottle. Also interested to see the numbers on Halfeti cedar.
Thanks for the suggestions!
LOL! I looked at my bottle of Intense Cedrat Boise and can confirm. Didn't notice until now, but its there.
Same, i noticed sediment in mine too, not too sure what caused it but the performance and smell remain unimpacted 😗😁
Awesome recap on these fragrances … I really like the concept of Parfumo … what a cool tracking journal.
On another note, Grace and I are similar in that I do not enjoy “powdery” fragrances either. I recently purchased MFK Oud- satin mood EDP and so glad I didn’t purchase more than their 11ml🥴
L´Instant de Guerlain EDT is also something that i wear in the summer , pretty unique when you wanna change a pace (not citrusy for whole summer, but cocoa/citrusy vibe is more refined, more mysterious)
I am looking forward to testing King Blue. Mostly I want to thank you for an update and your thoughts ❤
I just opened my Intense Cedrat after purchasing it late last year. I had A LOT of sediment inside. I even emailed fragrancebuy to let them know. They said that sometimes when companies use naturals some of the material collects when it's just sitting there. I shook it up a little bit and never sprayed it. In about a couple days it's virtually non-existent. Smells like it's supposed to as well
Thanks for sharing!
I love l’instant de guerlain one of my faves
I also have that sediment in Cedrat Boise Intense. I basically think that it is the concentration of the intense version since it's 45% extract. You won't see it much if you try to tilt your bottle upside-down while stirring it slowly to mix properly. And if you try to spray the perfume, it provides a stronger citrus scent and more long lasting than the one didn't tilt. Just try to tilt it 😊
Love your videos ❤
Thank you!
Should I get the original or intense?
I only have two Manceras 9:27 intense cedrat boise and aoud lemon mint, and my intense also have sediments, I thought I had a deffected bottle but now I see maybe is like a quality control thing or something resulting from the making of the product itself
I love FragranceBuy Canada! It's my favorite discounter. Everything you said about them, I second. For anyone who might think he is just saying that because they partner with him, please know they don't give me anything but bills and I feel the same way! 😂
appropriate, perfect topic, Justin! (hope i can just talk to you soon in one of your live streams)
I think the best Flanker the Stay Fresh Captain has discovered in 2023 is the Flanker "100k On The Way" - By Assignment
L'instant de Guerlain is so good! I have an older bottle too and the longevity is fine for me (others complain its too weak...) if you want a power house version of it, try Pardon by Nasomatto - got that chocolate/patchouli scent - but no citrus. Anyway L'instant is an instant love.
Keep this series going. Love it.
I'm very resistant to hype too. I'm not trying to be a snob but I've been burn a few times in the pass. Now i have a basket of fragrances on the side. I call it the reject bin. Luckily its just a small one. 😂
Good video as usual. I experience sediment as well but in the regular not intense and I recent acquired my magnetic cap bottle abt 4 months now. I thought it was strange also but i guess the high oil mixture or it was not blended and maturated well and so i decided to wear it on clothes. I doubt it will cause any harm to skin but i want to take caution and i bought the 2oz and will probably not reach for it much anyway. Honestly, i bought it for conversation sake and perfer aventus, aventus cologne, and mont blanc explorer lol. Good luck to everyone who is experiencing it with the regular and intense. These are things that will occur being a collector. Stay well and God bless.
Only settlement I have in my bottle is little in gold prestgium but the most I mean A LOT is in A- Men and pure malt but it still smells the same
Justin, your hairstyle is cool. Nice clean fade that’s balanced by the messy look up top.
Video idea - how our nose changes over time/how fragrances themselves (same bottle) change over time. I blind bought Cedrat Boise a couple years ago. It was the 3rd scent I bought, having previously purchased the original John Varvatos (still great, doesn’t last very long though), and La Nuit De Lhomme. I tried both of those in store and loved them. I remember my first whiff of Cedrat Boise when it came in the mail. I was incredibly disappointed. I thought it smelled a bit odd and sharp - a bit like lemon pledge with some funkiness. I let it sit on the shelf for months. Over the next year I explored many other scents through 2ml samples with the occasional bottle for the exceptional stuff (Gentleman Boisé, 1 Mil Lucky, Allure Sport Eau Extreme, Dior Homme 2020, and Sauvage Elixir being the main ones). I came back to Cedrat Boise, and I was blown away by how good it was. Upon spraying it now, it just makes me smile. I wore it to the gym today and I sprayed it as I left my apartment. I couldn’t help but saying to myself WOW this is good.
Is there any reason to explain my 180 on this fragrance? Do our noses just appreciate more over time the more we experience other scents? Did letting the bottle sit actually change the scent profile that much? Interested to hear your thoughts.
Thank you for the compliment!
Sounds like what you’re going through is very normal-in terms of what is changing, it could be a bit of both (you and the scent). But I’d say it’s probably mostly you! The more new scents you expose yourself to, the more your nose can “understand”. I have countless fragrances that I hated upon first sniff years ago, but now love having smelled hundreds of fragrance since.
@@stayfreshproductions Gotcha, appreciate the explanation!
14:40 funny enough, this Reflection Man come second in my daily rotation with the blue beast Amouage Interlude Man top the number one in my office daily rotation. 8 sprays of the blue beast is enough to last 10 hours in office setting and there’s no need to respray ❤
Pls do part 3 but with more designer brand😢
I have the same "problem" with Intense Cedrat Boise. The sediment thing. Socked no one talks about it, I believe it is that way because of the high oil content. Some people say it is 45% oil concentration (not official as far as I know). I just agitate it before using it 😄.
Love your vids can you make a vid about your top 10
Love your videos and descriptions as always my friend.
Do you ever wear several fragrances in a day for testing purposes?
Thank you! All the time-testing and functionally
Hi. I was thinkin to get Mancera OG or Intense one , because i heard that OG is very week . Not like old batche's . Hmmm. Cool vodeo. Stay safe bro...💪🔥
The OG is still strong enough! Thanks for watching.
My cedrat boise has “floaties” in it too..😅 idk what’s going on with it
The "sediments" are oil droplets. Just really really small which makes it look like sediments.
Part 3 please
My original Cedrat Boise also has sediment in it, so it's not just the intense with this issue. Reading through the comments on here, seems strange how some have it but others don't
Yes I have sediment in my bottle of cedrat Boisee intense too! What is that I got weirded out by it haha
Apparently it’s normal and it may go away over time!
I always get a laugh when people specify high temps are "fahrenheit". If its 100°C we're all in trouble.
My bottle of Intense Cedrat Boise has no sediment. I prefer the original over the intense aswell, it has a very smooth musk on the drydown.
I noticed the sediment in my Cedrat Boise. Can you do a video on why this is happening
Should I still buy the original. Heard it have been reformulated, and school of scent and curlyfragrance recommends the intense instead
Justin you just said ... 100 degrees outside?? 😮 That means just one thing..... Dolce Amalfi Xerjoff 💛
😁😁
@@stayfreshproductions 🫡
Great concept of video Justin.
Your honesty and passion for the community is refreshing.
I sampled king blue 2 weeks ago.. its very nice... Amouage Range is addictive. I can see the house being a part of my growing collection. Im yet to sample Guerlain or Cedrat Boise but the fragrance sounds amazing. More visits to the city required 😊😊
Thanks Andrew. Amouage is one of my favorite houses.
Love these ❤
My bottle of intense cedrat Boise has the same thing too. Still smells the same and doesn't feel weird on my skin though, so not sure if it's an issue 🤔
Good series , keep it going 👍
Thanks, will do!
and FB does have platine prive atm for those interested
Lol. Normally don't pay attention to advertisements but "FOMO Sold Out" is just great. What's in a name?
So when Justin was making this video, Platine Prive was out of stock at Fragrancebuy. It's back in stock.
Yes! I put that down in the description.
Do you find the app to be restrictive in loading what you wear? I find that I can only load a new wearing once every 8-10 hours - but I might wear something for gym or walk, then something else within 3 hours of that wearing, then something in the evening
You can tap the little X to remove your current fragrance and add another (it still saves the one you wore)
Out of all the PDM range considering cost and the range if you had to pick one as a tik all the boxes most versatile and useable would Layton be the go to??
Sedley would be my most versatile. I'm not wearing Layton in the heat
@@stayfreshproductions interesting, thank you for the reply. Appreciate the insight.
Initio please!
No one gives CREED ORIGINAL VETIVER its props. This is definitely sample worthy. MANCERA SICILY is profound. Three of my best weren’t mentioned. Those are: BYREDO BAL D’ AFRIQUE, ROJA ELYSIUM, and PURE NAUTICA. My worst are CREED HIMALYA, CREED SILVER MOUNTAIN WATER
I have it and love it.
Great series
Enjoyed!
Brut Intense Le Parfum Extreme Elixir is the #1 fragrance out there daddy copeland
Nice list bro but Reflection man & Cedrat Boise does not work for me 🤭... Get Prada L'Homme edt instead of Reflection man
I have Prada L’Homme
Hi Justin, if I skipped it, my apologies....did you review BDK vanilla leather EDP ? If not, do you have plans to do it? I think BDK will become one of three best houses on the market in the next three years.
Haven’t tried it yet!
My dude!
Hey Ryan!
just checked my ICB no sediment
hey whats up jc...great one, you are so good at what you do brotha' hey i finally pulled the trigger and bought me a bottle of t'herre d'hermes edt and a bottle of sauvage elixir and man let me tell ya' , i love them both i put them on my top shelf , i now stand at 223 bottles of fragrances in my collection as of today . thanks to you and ash and curly my top 3 channels on youtube. dj kenske phila., pa.
Thanks for watching bro
I have sediment in my bottle of Cedrat Boise
My bottle of Intense Cedrat Bouse has a sh*t ton of sediment 😢 smells amazing tho
Amouage 45 ☑️☑️☑️☑️
Excellent hair 🖐Assume you know but didn't mention, the L'instant de Guerlain currently available is not the one that the frag community has celebrated. It has been reformulated and by every nose who has smelled the original, the current version is a different fragrance akin to flanker or worse. I have never smelled the original and I like the current version for what it is but it has no performance for me. I have two bottles. Occasionally wear it on clothes but mainly use it as a deodorant with Nasanta.
I never smelled the original, but I still love the current. It’s perfect for a classier night out. Thanks for watching!
Hi Justin, do you have any idea why your Aventus fragrance has changed over time? Do you think it expired ?
I’m not certain. I don’t think it expired, I think it could be oxidation. This is something that can affect all fragrances right after you spray it for the first time, but I don’t think Creed has had the best equipment (bottles, atomizers, etc.) for their fragrances, and thus they might be more prone to the affects of oxidation. But this is just a theory.
Thanks Justin for the response! I appreciate! Have a great week!@@stayfreshproductions
Do you have an opinion on reflection 45? I’ve been debating whether to buy a bottle for a while now
I’ve tried a decant and it’s very nice. Sample first if you can
2:08 Disney Spider-Man For Man review coming soon?
😆
How did he know I just shopped with them?!
PDM Layton is not my favorite from the brand... I'm more a fan of Herod... Mancera Cedrat Boise or Red Tobacco would be my fav... least fav being Saharian Wind
You bout to do locs or twists?
Nope. Just sponging
I wore aventus 67 times. I win!
✅ bringe watching. Fairly new to your channel. ✅✅
Is it me or does Layton smell like 1 million ?
It's just u
@@dankkush1159 Thank god for that 😂👍
@@davesheffield3620 lol 😆
❤️👍😏
Man that King Blue sucks big time...I do not like it, I tried, I gave it time for it to settle down...Nope, I gave up..may I suggest you spend your hard earn cash elsewhere.
I believe that the scent will shine when it’s cold!
My Intense clouds up as well and the original doesn't! A lil shake and it clears up. I'm thinking it's the oud!
I don’t have Cedrat Boise BUT I do see sediment in my Jardin Exsclusif 🤔
Enjoyed!
