Really cool layering suggestion, I been using it since I was a kid. Water + Soap
Hahaha dawg
😂
I could see how the aquatic and soapy notes could go well together. Gotta try it.
Lmao
You are kidding me.
Interesting video, something that other frag channels haven’t explored in depth, so points to you for innovating, fantastic concept.
I have now subscribed to you after watching this video. Very unique and different take on fragrance discussions. I mean most youtubers will give you top 10 lists or 'what smells like compliment getters' or a variation of those. I know you do those too, but it's nice to see you branching off into this type of videos. Anyways, you've now joined Justin, Ashton, George and Ross as my favourite male fragrance reviewers. 👍👏👏👏
Omar, you are tapping untouched territory with this fragrance layering video. I absolutely love these kinds of videos!! I highly recommend you do a tutorial on how to layer fragrances properly. When I started out no body explained how to properly layer a fragrannce, so I spend days trying to figure the correct/best way to do it; I think that's a good little ad-in to one of these videos. Anyways, if you make more videos with different layer combinations I would watch everyone of them. Cheers!
Untouched get out more Omar begs every one in the groups
This was a great change in video style. That's what reviewers need to bring to the game. New scents r so redundant as you and I have discussed in comments a few weeks ago that it kind of transfers to redundant review videos as well. Specialty layering or how-to kind of stuff and branching out on video styles is really what we need. A total bomb frag is rarely released anymore. Go over them sure but don't beat them to death. Bring us stuff like this!
Thank you friend, will keep this in mind 👍
Agree You can start to dig a bit more in this kind of content
In your opinion what is the best cologne that lasts and will not break the bank?
@@SchoolOfScent Please try, Bleu de Chanel EDT with Milestone
@@SchoolOfScent This video is AWESOME!! I love it! This is what i have been waiting for for quite some time now.
QUESTION! Is it advisable to actually mix together fragrances in let's say a decant bottle, if you want that layered scent?
TIA for the help.
And just to share.. ADG Essenza + Lacoste Blanc works. at least for me it did. =))
Thank you for the idea of layering! I had never considered that. So I sprayed on my Hawas, then added Missoni since I don't have bleu de chanel and wow! It smells fantastic!!
For months now I've been wondering about layering scents and how to pull them off properly. I can't always just buy a new fragrance, but being able to mix two that I already have together to make a new scent is always very welcome. I really enjoyed this! I hope to see more input from the community and hope to see this as a possible series! :)
Great video, especially since you not only smelled the opening but the drydown too. The next step could be having someone blind spray you and then you need to figure out what 2 fragrances are being layered.
Might I recommend Dior Homme Intense + One Million Prive? Yes, I might. In fact, I do.
Let's keep exploring the path of layering! I suggest Prada L'homme Intense and La Nuit de l'homme edt.
Nice video concept. Like how you tried them and didn’t just talk about the layers. I’ve only ever layered Banana Republic’s Leather Reserve with Givenchy Gentleman EDP. Gives a deep leather note to go with that powdery iris. Beautifully masculine.
I'm a fan of layering because it can create unique scent profiles that no one smelt before as you say.
Mancera Instant Crush and Mancera Cedrat Boise, PDM - Layton and YSL - la nuit de l'homme, Initio - Side Effect and BR540, Aaron Terence Hughes - Daddy and YSL - la nuit de l'homme.
YSL L'Homme and Glen Perri's Unpredictable caught the attention of like 3 of my crushes throughout life, and has gotten me pretty much endless compliments. Beautiful combination of clean (from Unpredictable) and gorgeous ginger (from YSL L'HOMME). Mediocre performance, but what it does in the window of allotted time is elite tier. Perfect for the gym, or actually pretty much any time of the day or year. I usually dont share this secret, but y'all deserve it🙏🏻 Oh and because of the fact that they're both EDT's and rather medium level performance, I spray about 4-6 sprits from YSL 'L'HOMME ( Front and behind neck, wrist, and 2 on each pectorial muscle/chest area) and about 3/4 sprits from Unpredictable, but can be adjusted to your liking:)
Hahah amazing , yesterday I was thinking why don’t hear people talking about layering ! I mix allure edition blanche with Eros and get the freshest thing ever! Great video
Ok leme put you all on game....Bentley Intense man first then Uomo Sig on the top.... IDK how but it just works.
I got both and will definitely try it
Nothing can make Bentley Intense smell good 😜
@@ZA-co9vj lol....Gota wait for the dry down mate....
Ember Studio's Limited Edition Signature Cologne is on ebay and it smells like very different
Try Bentley intense and Givenchy gentleman edp. It’s a compliment magnet
Here's are good combos I've discovered:
CDNIM + Moustache EDP
La Yuqawam + Armaf Pride
La Yuqawam + Azzaro PH Intense
Great video. Need to do more layering videos...nobody else does them and its a void needing filled. Aside from the video, got some great ideas from the comments. Thank you!
I layer Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb with Wanted by Night from Azzaro. These two fragrances compliment each other quite nicely, it’s a warm spicy scent that I’d wear during the colder months for a night out.
Enjoyed the video if you can please keep this topic idea in mind for future videos to cover the warmer seasons. A warm combo that I enjoyed this past summer and pulled compliments on was combining Prada L'homme L'eau as a base with Robert Graham's Courage.
My go to layer is Molecule 01 and Givenchy Gentleman Cologne. Smells so good!
Excellent video. I’ve tried layering Montblanc Starwalker on top of Burberry Touch. I call it my Goodnight Combo.
Great vid. You should do more of these (more than just one more, I mean)! Nobody really does much on layering around here tbh.
If you do more, give Invictus Victory layered with Dior Homme Cologne a try. It's good!
I suggest you to try layering Molecule 01 with winter fragrances, especially the sweet ones.
Ombre leather and black orchid. Tried both in a store once and the combo was great afterwards for rest of the day
yes, do more of these videos. we'll go down the rabbit hole of layering together. we're gonna need flow charts and spreadsheets. maybe even a tournament. lol j/k
haha there's 'layers' to this 😳 *ba dum tsh*
@@SchoolOfScent yes, please do more of these layer videos. I think it would be a huge YT hit. My absolute best hit layer is Burberry BRIT RHYTHM EDT with Dolce & Gabbana THE ONE EDP. I still am amazed at how many compliments I get from wearing that combo.
I've layered Henae Mori HM with D&G light blue intense and I get a ChanelAllureEditionBlanche kind of vibe.
Great video. You’ve stumbled into a whole new video series. Never ending combinations/suggestions.
I agree. This "Art Of Layering Fragrances" should become a new thing or a new channel even.
My personal favorite is Louis Vuiton's L'immensite with Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino. The ginger defiantly leads, but the citrus and floral notes blend together so amazingly in the mid notes. Complex and fresh. It's great for these hot summer days.
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try out these combinations and have a blessed night
Dear Teacher,
Another interesting concept! I am very enjoying your content.
I have never heard of layering. I must revise this topic.
I would love a part 2 of this lesson!
Kind regards,
Your Student
My favourite student!
I just tried Sauvage and Ultra Male, and my reaction was the same. Opening was fantastic. Dry down seems a little bit strange. Not terrible, but I’d rather wear them separately
I tried Ultra Male with Mont Blanc Explorer and I'd rate with a 9/10
I have to agree with you, it doesn’t mix well imo. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I get Issey Miyake L’eau D’issey in the dry down.
can you try Ultra Male with Dior Homme please. I am curious, if the result will be: Le Male Le Parfum.
@@keep_walking_on_grass did Interlude black Iris with Dior Homme and it was pretty good
Sauvage is worn so much by so many I want something unique. I'd rather try mixing Sauvage with something other than just wearing it regular anymore. I will try the combo suggested & other colognes with Sauvage now just to experiment. Sauvage is so out of date imo (and over rated) and become such the standard for so many men to wear that it's lost getting compliments anymore sadly
@SchoolofScent it’s time for you to create an update with a twist: I not only layer fragrances together, I actually decanter for my personal use! For example, I will decanter two heavy hitting fragrances: in a 10ml bottle (Rose scents for February) I have: Al Haramain Floral Sculpture, Lattafa Amethyst, BDK Parfums Tabac Rose and Dolce & Gabbana The One Mysterious Night. I love ❤️ those colognes together and apart!
Perris Monte Carlo - Oud Imperial with Givenchy - Gentlemen Reserve Privee in a 1:2 ratio. Hands down my favourite scent and extremely unique. Its dry but creamy, chestnut iris oudy incense. Beautiful.
I’m actually going to suggest one that I saw in another video but the guy was spot and I just so happened to have both fragrances! But he recommended Mancera Aoud Lemon Mint and Prada Luna Ocean. Awesome combo in my opinion!
great video bud , keep them coming ! please do another layering but this time only 9 and 10's
Just tried layering YSL Y EDP and Valentino Uomo Born in Roma and it smells pretty amazing.
Excellent approach to the next level. Must dig my heels into it. Start tomorrow.
I just turned 55 yrs young. Fragrance has never really interested me. But the main reason is I cannot afford expensive fragrances. I started to try some dupes. I am so into these.
But I will try this and see how I get on. Love your channel Mister!
Wow. I have been trying this long time. It definitely creates a unique smell
Love the concept. I hear that the best way to layer is to spray one scent say on you Jugular and the other scent like on your collarbone for example. Also, a good concept will be if scent are truly back-up bottle worth and if so, what are your recommendations.
Ombre Leather + Ch Prive
Is my most complimented layering of all time.
Id try this but I dont own CH :(
How do you apply? I feel that Ombre is so powerful that even a few sprays are ever lasting.
You ever try the BDC + Hawas?
ENGLISH LEATHER by Dana + Ch Prive is the bomb imo.
I use English Leather in this combo because like the previous gentleman said that Ombre is just way too over powering & ever lasting imho. With English Leather by Dana it is way less over powering & much cheaper in price also.
It would be great if you have couple more videos made over layering please. It's interesting looking forward for more such videos ☺☺
Creed Royal Oud, & on top of it, spray Mercedes Club Black extreme. And for bonus points, underneath both of these set a base scent with Molecule 01 first
Really enjoyed this video and reading the suggestions in the comments section. I just tried mercedes club black with bleu electrique and really liking it. My suggestion would be mercedes club black with creed aventus.
You have to try doing Bond n9 Signature as a base and layer it with Michael Malul Jet Black Reserve 😍 it works so well and smells smooth!
Pure Malt layered with Burberry London works really good Paco Rabanne 1 million with Aqua Di Gio and last is Jo Malone wood sage and Sea Salt with Creed millisime Imperial 🔥🍻
There are so many suggestions in the comments, you can make a part 2! Try Bvlgari Man in Black layered with Paco Rabanne 1 Million Lucky! It's a stunner!
My favorite men's cologne combo would be Burberry BRIT RHYTHM EDT with Dolce & Gabbana THE ONE EDP. Just a SUPER AMAZING COBO together. I get more compliments than any other colognes I have worn in my entire lifetime combining these 2 colognes.
What about longetivity
I've found that Burberry Touch with Gucci Guilty EDT increases the preformance of the latter, mixing into a fresh and spicy scent
Cool video - thank you! I’ve tried YSL Y Le parfum + Club de nuit intense EDP! That was really nice!
I actually buy empty decant bottles just to mess around and combine fragrances. My last couple decants I blended were Spicebomb Fresh & A*men Kryptomint the other was Happyland Gerannabis and Mancera Cedrat Boise
Dior Sauvage+Bleu Electrique or The Most Wanted+Mercedes Benz Club Black for nights, Bleu de Chanel EDP+Y EDT or CDNIM Limited Edition+Bleu Electrique days. Some sound weird or overly strong but when timed right work amazing.
I don't 'layer' per se, but I'll sometimes put a very strong scent on my wrists (to attract attention) and then spray an intimate around the neck. That way, its really easy to wash off the strong scent in the bathroom, if needed (after you've attracted the attention)....but a faint remnant will usually remain.
I once randomly applied tom ford oud wood and hacivat nishane on my wrist, and i couldn't stopped myself from smelling my wrist for the rest of the day.
i've layered sauvage edt with coach, and also individuel with london. and ck shock with dark rebel.
Bently for Men Absolute with Rasasi Hawas. The smokey cedar works well with the sweet plum.
Hawas + Nautica Voyage. Used to love Voyage in mid-late 2000s but find the juice super weak now, Hawas adds richness and performance while Voyage brings some brightness. A great cheap stack and closer to what Voyage used to be like imo
This just gets it too crazy....the only 2 I consider layering would be sauvage elexir with the edt on top!!
I agree with you! Dior sets trends, all other Fragrance houses are like Avis (We try harder)
My favorite video so far. Great idea and something nobody is really doing.
Thanks Matt!
before I watched the video I layered Spicebomb Extreme and BdC because of the thumbnail and it works. It makes Spicebomb so much lighter and fresher. I will definitely try this in summer
Same here! Keen to give it a go!
Isn’t that just og spicebomb people sleep on?
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver mixed with Spicebomb is a great combination!!!! I use a travel bottle and combine equal parts.
Actually when I was trying different juices I thought I was crazy. Blue De Channel Perfume + BR540 Extrait, Bently Men Intense + Zara Vibrant Leather, most of the time I try to mix with the same kind of notes.
Try Creeds Virgin Island Water with Creeds Aventus . The pineapple 🍍 and coconut 🥥 go well together.
This is something I need to start experimenting with! Ooh well, that's tomorrow sorted!
Commenting to support the channel! Keep it up with these creative video’s Omar ;-)
Thanks George!
Yes!!!!!! We need these type of videos
Tobacco vanille + molecule 01: good for winter layering. Increases the projection of Tobacco vanille multifolds for the initial 2-3 hours.
Also, try Aventus + BR 540. A creative yet very different crowd pleasing scent.
Have u tried BR540 +Tobacco Vanille?
Mercedes club black is great for layering because the vanilla is very prominent. Try it with la nuit de lhomme or even with bleu electric and let the world know. Its amazing
Good idea!
I like the idea of Club Black with Bleu-love each of them and imagine that together they will ignite 💥
Thanks so much for this video! 👏🏼
Club de nuit intense and Mont Blanc explorer is my signature 👀
Prada L'homme + Tom Ford Oud Wood are very good together
need to try this!
@@SchoolOfScent Would love seeing your reaction to the combination!
I just tried this since I have both and this dry down, is divine!
I have so many combos. YSL Y EDP w/Sauvage Elixir. Cedrat Boise with Hacivat. Wanted by Night w/the Most Wanted. Spicebomb Extreme w/Bvlgari MIB (also w/the OG instead). Hacivat w/Feragamo Uomo Signature. TDH w/Dunhill icon.
Recently tried Spicebomb Extreme with Hawas...I didn't know what to think, but I got a lot of compliments in a single day. Very interesting combo lol
The legend returns 🙌🏻
Layering Ultra Male and Spicebomb extreme is really nice. They share similar notes and match perfectly together. Same with Eros EDP and YSL Y EDP..
Aventus + Tuscan Leather. (I have clones, so CDNIM and Arab Tradition)...lovely combo. I have the older Arab Tradition..I spray 1 spray quite low on my chest..the CDNIM a few sprays around neck. Beast all day.
I'm gonna try 'By the fireplace' x 'Oud Alif' (Shay and Blue). Quite literally fire and smoke.
Encre Noire + Guerlain L'homme Ideal EDT = Sweet & creamy death in the forest. They are both relatively cheap, so go crazy with it.
Oooh, I have both of those! I will try it!
I tried it, and bizarrely I'm getting big-time chocolate! And, somehow...woodshop. It's still developing, and it's fascinating.
Ooooh yes, a MAJOR forest!!! How on earth...? I get "forest" from neither one on its own.
Note, I caught "woodshop" before it ever registered with me that you mentioned "forest," so it was a 100% real impression.
@@kensears5099 For me personally, that particular sage they use in Encre noire smells like the forest my family and I camp in New Mexico. But definately a lot of nuances to explore with that combination.
Kiehls Musk + Tom Ford Cafe Rose. It is very very nice. Alternatively sub the musk for Aramis (Though I must warn you, that is wayyyy stronger!)
Mont Blanc Individuel + Davidoff Cool Water. Really rounds out the cloyiness of Individuel, gives a really refreshing take on it!
nice, I'll try it!
Wow, thanks! You should also try Toy Boy with Boss Bottled Night, the Violet/ Violet Leaf really lifts it to another level! I love your videos btw! 😄
Ysl Y and Chanel Allure homme sport is a good combo too should definitely try this guys 👍🏽👍🏽
My fav layering combo is atomic rose and oud for greatness
coach for men and ysl y. the pear works well with the apple. very fruity and fresh
I use two of my favourite oud fragrances: amouage man first(since it's heavier) and then, Tom Ford Oud wood. What do you think?
Tre' Nuit and black orchid!! Please. Believe me! Oxford blue layered with crown from English laundry... banger!!
Dior Homme 2020 and Prada L'homme. One of my favorite layers. Also Sauvage Elixir and Nishane Ani
Damn bruh. Elixir n Ani are 2 super beast mode fragrances. Which one do u spray first?
ADG Absolute Instinct + Jardin Exclusif. The ADG gives Jardin Exclusif a woody and smoky back bone and it smells so nice :D
Rasasi Al Wisam Day first, and then Moschino Toy Boy. Zesty Roses. Beautiful.
The GOAT is back!
Try LNDL w/ YSL Y EDP, I’ve gotten compliments with the mix !!
I recently tried Afnan Supremacy in Oud layered with D&G the One and it's 🔥
Nice video, Omar! I’m going to try Grand Soir/Terre D’ Hermès and Ombre Leather/CH Prive.
Thanks mate, enjoy!
Best frag channel on CZcams
ADG profumo +AHS extreme is my most complimented layering
You got to layer One Million Lucky and La Nuit De L'Homme. Wore the combination on three different occasions and was getting compliments all day how good I smelled.
How did you layer it? Did you spray it on the same spot? And which one did you spray first?
@@Nero-KD I sprayed One Million lucky on the front, back, both sides of my neck, chest and forearms. Let it dry down then I spray La Nuit De L’Homme a few times across my chest then the front and back of my neck.
@@billbixby9083 Wow thanks for the quick response 🙏🏼. Definitely will get a sample of L'homme to test it out
@@Nero-KD you welcome, let me know how it works for you.
I own YSL M7 Oud Absolu and Guerlain L'Homme Ideal EDP. Both are sweet. M7 is syroupy and oud, while LHI is a cherry vanilla bomb. I have a feeling they will layer pretty well.
I'll maybe combine my Prada Carbon with Givenchy Gentleman Boiseé, but doubt it will end up smelling nice. I Donno why, maybe I'm wrong?
Will try tomorrow. If you guys own these four I do, why not try it?
What do you think, Omar?
Creed aventus (3 to 5 sprays behind the ear, back of the neck, maybe in th collar area) then 2 sprays of montblanc emblem near the elbow
i own rassasi hawas and BDC EDT so i'm gonna try this for sure!
Encre noire + spicebomb extreme + Eros edp = da real, triple stage, bomb.
Many, especially sweeter, fragrances are elevated by the deep and rich encre noire.
After watching this went and grab two fragrances to experiment (Club de Nuit Intense & Versace Man Eau Fraiche) 🤣😂… I liked the end result 🤔
Very good video. ADG Profumo with This is Him appears to be a nice, sophisticated blend.
