  • @DivineFrag
    @DivineFrag Před 2 lety +26

    Really appreciate you doing these... more different videos, Aaron.
    As for the scents: I have Naxos, have Alexandria II. I actually bought these based off the suggestions of both you and Demi Rawling, tried them originally because of you both and ended up buying them. I didn't like Side Effect because of the hedione, gives it that bitter odor. I like original Interlude, haven't tried Black Iris. I have Herod, I have Oajan, I got standard Layton, Exclusif is a bit much for me.
    If I had to recommend 4 to a man that to start a collection and we're keeping the selections somewhat safe: Layton or Cedrat Boise (fruity take on Aventus) as an all-year, Alexandria II as a showstopper formal scent, Naxos or Blessed Baraka as date night, and Herod for the cold. If you wanted to do seasonally, I would do Herod - winter, Layton - spring, Percival/Sedley - summer, Naxos - autumn.

    I just got into this hobby and have never really watched your channel yet. The first bottles I grabbed after some samples were Layton Exclusif, Herod, interlude Black Iris and Oud for greatness. Also I tracked down the older lower alcohol versions of these and compared to the samples they do last longer. Seeing 3 of those on ur list makes me feel like I can really trust ur sense of smell, some of the other popular reviewers recommend stuff and I try them and I'm like these smell so average. Thanks for the content.

    Loved this list. Currently exploring lots of things but in general I avoid thin and shallow candy frags… one reason I’m not a fan of Grus Charnel. Love this. I just received a sample of Noir Extreme which I’m enjoying. Chasing the notes. I have a list of samples for next month. 2 of which are in this list Oajan (along with Pegasus)and Ardent. It’s winter here right now and these scents are calling my name. I’ll intersperse them with my Cuir Ylang, Scandinavian Crime and your Boss Bastard to see if I fall in love.

    I can’t believe we’re simpatico on almost all the fragrances you selected which I consider masterpieces.
    I’m lucky to have acquired
    Dior Homme Intense
    Side Effect
    Naxos
    Alexandria ll
    Tobacolor
    Layton
    Ardent
    Noir Extreme
    I tried Interlude Black Iris and found it off putting. I never gave it a chance beyond its opening. Oajan will probably be one of the next ten that I acquire.
    May I suggest two fragrances to consider and which I think you’ll love. They’re not exactly easy to acquire.
    1) Venito-V7 (a Saffron narcotic, fairly priced)
    2) EBK Paris-Deep n Desire (a unique sweet delicious gourmand grapefruit.)
    Love your intelligent inspired reviews!

    • @awkwardme5375
      @awkwardme5375 Před 2 lety +1

      If you want a truly "beast-mode", loud, high quality gourmand cinnamon "apple pie" perfume, you'll almost certainly enjoy Oajan. I have it, and wear it heavily in Oct/Nov. Angels' Share by Kilian is in the same vein, but removes the resins, and subs out the pastry-like note for oak, and replaces the osmanthus in top for a GORGEOUS cognac note.
      Extremely different perfumes (despite what anyone says about similarities, their only connection is sweet and cinnamon), but hands down, the two best cinnamon/"apple pie-style" perfumes on the market. I wear Oajan casually, and Angels' Share formally/dates/sex. Can't go wrong sampling either if you love that style.

    I love Dior Homme Intense but unfortunaly i've become anosmic to it but found a great substitute on Givenchy Gentleman EDP.

    YSL Opium pour Homme ( EDT and EDP)
    Givenchy Gentleman EDP
    Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Extreme
