    Hi Omar! Another great video as always. You often talk about Aromatic Fougere/"Barbershop" fragrances on your chanel, but there are so many on the market and it's difficult to visualize the intricate differences between each fragrance house's take on the genre. Could you possibly make a video in the future doing a breakdown of your favorite barbershop fragrances explaining the pros and cons of each? Something like a barbershop fragrance buying guide?

    • @ThirtyThreeHipHop
      @ThirtyThreeHipHop Před 7 dny +1

      That's a good one. I have a fairly decent 30 fragrance collection that I want to narrow down to just 10/10s and I actually don't have a barbershop fragrance. Looking to try Satorial soon.

    I would never blind buy any expensive niche fragrances.
    The thing is, a lot of niche fragrances might be very easy to like and there is not a high risk that I'm going to hate them after a blind buy, but for me the criteria for buying a niche fragrance is not that i like it, because there are countless much cheaper designer fragrances that I like a lot as well. If I spend niche money, I have to absolutely love the fragrance. And no amount of good reviews and good ratings can guarantee that I will love a fragrance and not just like it.

    • @byMRTNjournals
      @byMRTNjournals Před 10 dny

      I fell in love with Panda 2017. It doesn't even have that good a rating but at the end of the day, it's too crowd pleasing for the niche market. The type of people buying Zoologist are generally seeking unwearable fragrances

    I blind bought Perseus by PDM, Side Effect by Initio and not regret a single quid. Smelled Oud Maracuja in Selfridges once and the SA saw the reaction on my face and knew that I loved it. I’m planning to blind buy Paragon by Initio or God of Fire by Stephane Humbert Luca I feel like that’s an easy love at first sniff.

  • @karenlamb8702
    @karenlamb8702 Před 10 dny

    Some fragrance houses offer a voucher for the next purchase when samples are bought, Byredo and Frederic Malle do this. I bought a box of Byredo samples and was given a voucher for £45 off a 50 or 100ml bottle. Malle do three samples for £15 and this can be taken off the next full size purchase too.
    My first blind buy was Portrait of a Lady, really could not smell it at all when I tried it in winter, now I am starting to like it, think the warm weather is making a difference. I've tried a sample pack of the Maison Margiela fragrances and did not like any except for Jazz Club, but a little bit too masculine for me.

    Hi Omar! Quick question, hope you can answer. I am a very big fan of CH Men Prive, now discontinued. I hear a lot of good comments about Jazz Club, including both are similar.
    Unfortunately I cant test Jazz Club. I can get one or another at the same price right now.
    Have you tried CH Men Prive? Is Jazz Club similar? If you have to pick one, wich one would you choose?

  • @Nick-bz5xv
    @Nick-bz5xv Před 9 dny

    I think my "safest" blind buy was Xerjoff's Naxos, which I feel is a beautiful scent, and my "risky" blind buy was Creed's Original Santal, which I also love, and wear as a signature, even in the Summer. Honestly, I think if you are fortunate enough to have already tried a variety of fragrance DNAs, blind-buying bottles based off of note-breakdowns can be pretty reliable. As was mentioned in the video, though, you should be responsible for your own finances, and if spending $200+ on a fragrance (or, really anything, for that matter) is going to cause any sort of hardship, it's probably best to save your money until you're sure you're going to be happy with the purchase.

    Im looking for a classic masculine modern scent. I've smelt this type of smell on others a few times and really like it, but from all my fragrance sampling in stores and purchases I've not found the exact profile I'm looking for. Scents like Kouros are way too old school. And Dior Eau Savage and Egoiste are closer to what I am looking for, but are still slightly too old school. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks

      Personally, if I were to recommend a blind buy of any Maison Margela scent, it wouldn't be Jazz Club. I like it but it doesn't have a soft projection to me. To me, the tobacco and pepper notes combine to make a pretty strong in your face scent. I think Autumn Vibes or From the Garden make a better blind buy from the Replica line.
