My top tip to anyone who starts collection is to get one all-around fragrance and then save up around $150 while also creating a list of their most desired perfumes (after they have smelled it at a store, I do not recommend blind buying) and the last step is to wait for amazing deals (there are always deals online but I'm talking big savings upwards of 50%) that way you can get the things that you want for less price.
Awesome picks Monika! A few fragrances I would recommend for newbies starting out are: 1. Coach for Men (any occasion) 2. Versace Pour Homme/Signature (Office wear) 3. John Varvatos Artisan Pure (casual wear) 4. D&G The One EDP (date night) 5. JPG LeMale (night out/party) Btw, all these sum up to be less then $250 and they're great mass appealing, compliment getters and most have decent longevity so there you go! I see a Monika video, I click the like button! Love from Costa Rica! ❤️👌🏽
I hope this helps someone... you should know that i'm just 19 years old so my picks are kinda "childish" 1- montblanc starwalker for an everyday scent (if you are in the mood for more go with sauvage or Y from YSL) 2- prada l'homme for the office (if you are confident enough you can pull out a leathery one like farenheit from Dior) 3- Invictus / Eros for clubbing (One million lucky is not for everyone but it's a good pick too) 4- l'homme ideal edp for dates
I really like the way you speak, so calmly and gracefully. Good Job! Fragrances I started with or shall I say the ones I currently have: 1) Versace Eros (EDT) - Clubbing 2) JPG Ultra Male (EDT) - Clubbing 3) Prada L'Homme (EDT) - Work 4) D&G Light Blue eau intense (EDP) - Summer 5) Versace Dylan Blue (EDT) - Everyday 6) D&G The One (EDP) - Winter 7) F By Ferragamo (EDT) - Just to spray all over my wardrobe, bedsheets, pillowcases etc - This one is the cheapest and doesn't last at all 8) YSL la nuit de l'homme (EDT) - Date nights/events 9) Armaf club de nuit intense man (EDT) - So that I can try what's close to Aventus by Creed without paying the big bucks
Monicka Cioch, you and your husband make the finest quality productions, the videos are just so easy to watch, so well made, and may all your wishes and dreams come alive sooner than you think.
This is how I would do it (and mostly did when I started): Guerlain Homme or Bvlgari Wood Neroli (Warm weather) AdG Profumo (All-round/Office) V&R Spicebomb Extreme (Cold weather) Terre D'Hermes (relatively all-round/office) Rasasi La Yuqawam (Cold weather)
my first purchases were (1st batch) 1. JPG Ultra Male 2. Acqua di Gio Profumo 3. prada l'homme 4. Dior homme intense I got 18 fragrances now in total in 3 months xD
I own 4 fragrances at the moment - Bleu de chanel parfum, Tom Ford ombre leather, D&G The one EDP, Dior Sauvage EDP. Dior is oldest and I use it less than before.
The first bottles in my collection starting out in 2011... Acqua di Gio, Polo Black, Bleu de Chanel when it came out, several Curves and Nauticas... but my fragrance journey didn't really take off until about 3 years ago after I discovered Houses like Parfum de Marly, YSL, Dior, Mancera, Chanel Etc. This is not a cheap hobby, that's for sure.
All very safe picks Monika, nice. Ferrari bright neroli (spring/summer) Mugler cologne (office/daytime) Eau de missions (date) I started out with Ferrari - bright neroli Jacque Bogart - pour homme Tom ford - neroli Portofino
Eros, Burberry London, Montblanc Starwalker, Dylan Blue, light blue eau intense, La Nuit De L'homme Got these all for about $250 on discounters (YSL at retail so could be had for cheaper) You could switch out mont blanc with any other frag of your choice with the money you save on ysl but I love the way starwalker works on my skin
Hey Monica! The quality of your videos are insane and I feel like we have the same taste especially in our love for Bleu de Chanel. Can’t wait for your new videos 😄😄
As a beginner I would go in this order to save money and for value per ml: 1. Club de nuit intense man, smells super similar to Creed Aventus, lasts long and can be an everyday signature fragrance for $30 2. Aqua di Gio Profumo is just so incredible and nostalgic of the original Aqua di Gio, but last much longer and is perfect for office/work setting. $100 3. Versace Eros is just so addicting to smell for a night out with some clubbing or lounge time. It’s sweet with vanilla, mint and is so fresh and sexy at the same time. Women LOVE this scent, but fair warning it’s loud and proud, definitely not a office or everyday wear in my opinion. $50 4. YSL del’homme is just so nice and sexy. It has cardamom and lavender, which are some of my favorites notes. I’m a huge cardamom fan and this cologne is definitely a crowd pleaser and perfect for date night or going out to eat with friends. You definitely swap it out for like Azzaro wanted, Azzaro wanted by night, or Spicebomb extreme. But it’s just a great addition if you’re a collector. $80
I’d try and cover all my bases. Ideal, Summer, Spring, fall & Winter And all occasions, cool and warm weather formal, dates and clubs. Blue De Chanel EDT: would cover summer and spring, and could be used for warmer formal uses. It’s also applicable for dates in warmer weather. (100ml @ $90 usd) Guerlain IDEAL Homme EDP: is ideal for the cold weather. Winter and fall are covered, this could also be a interesting choice for a date fragrance and it’s completely applicable for a club. (50ml @ $40 usd from fragrancenet) Last,. Now that we have everything covered except a cool formal fragrance. It’s also nice to have something special. Dolce & Gabbana the One EDP or Dior Homme Intense. They’re both date appropriate. Cold weather appropriate and very much a elegant scent for formal occasions. That would be my 3 choices.
As a newbie to fragrance world, my first 3 were cheapies : 1. Encre Noire 2. Club de nuit Intense 3. Aramis 900 Further purchases followed, but till date, my signature scent is Encre Noire. Absolutely captivating. P.S : I am still amazed at the quality of your videos. The editing is absolutely top notch.
You made my life easy. I’ll throw some light 💡 on how. Well I’m a fragrance collector. So last time I checked I had almost 200 frags. Now my close family members or friends keep asking me on how to just collect a few frags to cover all situations in there life. Now I don’t have to spend hours to explain them everything you did here. All I have to do is copy your link & share it 👍👍 Thank you 🙏
My list would be... All occasions: Chanel EDT $90 Work: D&G pour homme intenso $45 Club/night out Invictus $45 Date: Givenchy Pi $47 Summer/hot weather: Jimmy choo man Ice$28 or D&G light blue EDT $45
My first designer was also sauvage, then my brother got me jimmy choo urban hero, and then I got Chanel allure homme sport extreme, and last was Mont Blanc explorer! The Chanel fragrance is my go to for work but I wear the rest on the weekends or to the gym
If you want to spend 250$, have great variety but don't want to smell like everyone else on the street, you should buy collection-sets from niche houses. It's often 5-8 frags á 8-11ml and it gives you some variety to test, explore, find out what you like and what you hate and so on. Great ones to start with are Parfums de Marly Collection or MFK Wardrobe (each around 160 $). Those frags tend to be very strong so 10ml can last you some time if you rotate.
FRAGRANCE SUGGESTIONS FOR NEWBIES?... hmmm.. I would go with things like Bentley Momentum Intense - as an all-rounder crowd pleaser Lanvin Eclat D'Arpege pour Homme - as a light summer scent Roberto Cavalli Uomo Silver Essence - as a formal scent Guerlain L'Homme Ideal EDT - as a winter scent I think you can buy all of these for less than 100 pounds Cheers!
I started just recently with : Eisenberg J'ose edp Gisada Ambassador edp Prada L'Homme edt Bleu de Chanel edt Bvlgari AQVA Pour Homme edt And my next purchase would be YSL La nuit del'homme (maybe intense) for dates probably and JPG Ultra Male for clubbing
Make a little stand and place the bottle on it while you are talking. Put the bottle on your left in front of the camera. Its hard to see the bottle name when you are waiving it around.
Acqua Di Gio, Armani Code, Star Walker by Mont Blanc, Oud Touch and Blue Touch by Franck Oliver, John Varvatos Vintage, Bentley Man Intense, Club de Nuit Intense, Bvlgari Man in Black, and counting. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ I’m addicted. 😘🥰
Nicely done, great choices! Mont Blanc - Individuel, Lacoste - Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 pour lui Noir for Men Eau de Toilette, Hugo Boss - Reversed, Boss Bottled - Intense, Versace - Eau Fraiche are some excellent starters..
For beginners, get Versace Dylan Blue. Super safe scent and can use it any season, any occasion. And definitely will get you some compliments. Also, very affordable! I also recommend Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Intense for the upcoming spring/summer weather.
Nice collection! Although Creed Aventus retails for 210€ (100 ml) in Greece so you can also decide to go full in and be done with one fragrance for literally everything. Love watching your videos before bed!
Great Picks. Fully agree with most of them. Heres my list: Any - Dior Sauvage EDT, Bleu De Chanel EDT Summer - Lacoste Essential, Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme Winter(Must have for Canada) - A*Man Pure Havane, Bentley Intense For Men Date Night - YSL LNDL, D&G The One EDP Office/Professional - Prada L'Homme, Lacoste L12.12 Blanc Also love Armaf CNDIM(Any), Davidoff Coolwater (Summer), Narsico Rodriguez Bleu Noir For Him (Any) & Chanel AHSEE (Summer) I guess toss in Versace Eros for clubbing but I usually just sub Sauvage. Lacoste Essential was my first and what got me hooked on fragrances, after that it was CK Euphoria and Lacoste Challenge. Only been deep into collecting the past year or so but went a little overboard on the collection. My advice, shop online discounters or use a sample website to try a ton and see what you like before purchasing. Keep up the great videos/podcasts!
I’m still a newb. Only have Versace Dylan Blue and Eros. Have had CK One and Cool Water in the past. Really want Prada L’homme next. And then maybe Y Live, The One EDP, and Light Blue Eau Intense.
I have each of those and they are all very good but each are different. . Y Live is excellent and smells great. . You can’t go wrong on date night with The One edt or edp, and Prada L’Homme is a great work scent. Impossible to dislike that one.
Around 1990 I started of with Dior Fahrenheit, Paco Rabanne pour homme and Joop homme. End of the 90s Boss Bottled became my favorite fragrance for quite some time. Fahrenheit en Boss Bottled were amazing en one the best compliment getters. Every girl loved them. Remember I got them when they just came out and were a true sensation. And certainly not cheap back in the day. Weird to see they've become boring oldies (like me.. 🤔😎), hence, disliked quite a lot these days. Unimaginable in my clubbing days (although still going out regularly, but I digress 🙃).
My first fragrances were Terre D Hermès EDT, Versace Dylan Blue, Gentleman Only, Tres Nuit, Armani code Absolu Gold, Arabian Knight, Carolina Herrera Men, and YSL Y (I should’ve gotten Y live)
Hello I bought Aqua di Gio Profumo and Bleu de Chanel and I love both, Im more like gio scent but since I dont like more sweet scents for men Im more for this two, if I gotta choose Aqua di Gio Profumo hands down :)
Great video as always Monika. If I was on a budget and could only have 3 frags. Fresh/Everyday/Anytime - Parfums Vintage Evolution De L'Homme Soir. $85 This is a dupe/clone of Roja Dove Elysium. Summer/Club - Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Eau Fraiche (AKA Popeye or Superman) $85 Date Night - YSL La Nuit Da L'homme Eau de Toilette $63
Great video and I enjoyed it and i don't like Dior sauvage but I like bleu de channel parfum and aqui de gio profumo and Versace Eros and have a blessed day
Only 2 of these i didn't guess u were gonna say :D I had 100ml of sauvage and loved it, always can put it on anywhere anytime also had la'nuit delhomme wich i loooved and some girls absolutely loved it but older women didn't like it. Also Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau de perfum is also a really damn good one. You can wear it anywhere and its sooo unique and super long lasting with strong projection. Ran out of that too along with lanuit and sauvage :D Just recently bought Prada L'homme, Mont Blanc Explorer, Ck One Shock and Versace Eros and i like them all. At first i wasn't really feeling the explorer but once i wore it wow it really is a damn good fragrance.
This is a very good video! You got all the best fragrances down, I know because I've been researching for a few days and this video nails down all the top picks I found. If I had found this video first it would've saved me all that time. Great work!
Imo best going out fragrances are jpg ultra male, versace eros, and Paco rabbane invictus and people should have 6 different fragrances a Mr versatile like sauvage EDT or bleu de chanel, a summer gem like light blue Eau intense pour homme or acqua di gio profondo, a winter fragrance like the one edp or spice bomb extreme, an office/school scent like Prada lhomme, a clubbing scent either eros or ultra male and a date fragrance like la nuit d'lhomme, and a quick tip if your on a date as a man and go back to her or his place for yanno then make sure your wearing la nuit d'lhomme and take a travel atomiser then when they're out the room after you've done it spray 2 sprays on each pillow so when you leave they'll smell you and won't be able to get you out of their head, if your good in bed then your guaranteed a second visit back to theres
Absolutely love Bvlgari Aqva. It's the right kind of freshness when dressing light color clothes casual (whites, very light greys/blues). The fact it still smells amazing the next day on clothes speaks to the strength and quality. Just don't mistaking pick up Aqva Atlantique, which smells like swamp ass
I started with D&G Royal night (for dates and close encounter) then AdG profumo as an everyday versatile fragrance and the third is Armani code Profumo (winter fragrance). Now I'm thinking about adding a 4th one and have to make a choice between Spicebomb, Le mâle JPG, Versace Eros, Bvlgarie m'en in black
My forever signature scent was the old school Le Male, but recently acquired Blue de Chanel EDP, and love it. It gets loads of compliments. I'm building a fragrance collection after many dormant years so thank you for the recommendations.✌🏽
Thanks Monika, great to see le male essence getting more love, really enjoying that scent atm, thanks for the recommendation. When I started last year I did think of blue channel and savuage but went for Dylan blue instead for an all rounder as it might not be as popular and does a similar job for me. Big lv mark X
Hi Monika, perfect choices for a starter list with a personal twist. I would recommend all your fragrances except bvlgari aqua as I haven't tried it yet but is on my list for 2020. 6 years into my fragrence journey and I have not got 1 fragrance to rule them all yet Don t know if I ever will. Looking forward to your next vid.
Great choices Monika !!! I just feel Dylan Blue over Explorer. I started with La Nuit De L'homme (original formulation 8YB02-1), Kiton Men by Kiton, Dior Sauvage, Acqua Di Gio Profumo and Givenchy Gentlemen Only Absolute. Don't start like me is the message I'm trying to send.😂
Great list, Monika, especially including the all-around versatile scents such as Bleu de Chanel! I'm planning on building up my collection with some future scents like Versace Man Eau Fraiche for Summer and Replica By the Fireplace for next Fall/Winter. I also will have to try out Montagne Parfums' Parfum De Cerise as I've heard it's a great clone of Tom Ford's Lost Cherry (my sprayed card from weeks ago still smells fantastic of the real thing, but oooof that TF price).
happy to see that most of my current frgrances are here! dior sauvage parfume versace eros ysl la nuit de'l homme bvulgari aqua pour homme and last is davidoff cool water thank you monika i learned a lot!
Great video Monika!!! I would really like a video for a great fragrance collection for us women. I just got 3 fragrances delivered. Ordered online. 2 of them for summer, & 1 for fall & winter. I bought 2 as testers. Saved a bunch!!! All women's fragrances. For me!!! Although my daughters come over & spray themselves. They're my neighbors, but not too close, each house is about a quarter mile from each other. All 3 of our homes. Oh well what are mama's for? LOL
Hello Monika, how are you? Thank you for that great list and video. I started my collection last spring,I have about 35 Fragrances. My first purchase was Dior Sauvage and Le Male. I can't seem to stop Lol 😂. Have a great day and thank you again.
i must compliment the wonderful work you and ur partners do for how this video came out! i mean, the quality is very nice! from the videography, audio, edits etc..
Hi, sorry for my english. I start my colection three moth ago, and this are my perfums: 1. Dior homme parfum (special days) 2. Mancera So blue ( niche parfum) 3. Chanel blue parfum 4. Calvin klein Eternity eau toilette 5. Ard al Zaafaran Midnight oud ( beast mode) 6.Calvin Klein Ck one Shock Next target 1. Mancera Cedrat boice 2. Bvlgari Aqva 3. Lalique Encre noir sport 4. Montblac Starwalker And for every day Sculpture Nikos. What do you thing about this collection? I would like to taste Montale intense black aoud and John Varvatos Arisan Pure. Thank you very much.
Another good video , personalty would’ve put Terre D Hermes for date and also Valentino intense but I’m bias as i love those scents , nobody EVER put it in their lists 🤷♂️ have you tried Atlantique over Pour Homme ?
Lacoste Blanc was my 1st fragrance ever i really liked it i bought it in 2011/2012 then re bought it again in like 2016 the perfomance isn't the best but its cheap and a really great scent!
Super review Monika !! Excellent video quality with wonderful camera, lighting, music, graphics and slow motion sfx. My best wishes. Please review Terre D' Hermes Pure Parfum and EDT.
Another great video! I was surprised to see your La Male Essence in the list. That's not one you usually see, but it's really good. I knew for sure I would see La Nuit in there someplace! LOL. I thought I liked it, but it's clearly one of, if not your most favorite fragrance. You have great taste! I like pretty much everything from YSL. One of my favorite designer houses.
I'd like to suggest three fragrances, The One by D&G, Tom Ford Noir (Which is very cheap compared to other TF's) and last but not least, Versace Dylan Blue. IMHO, Dylan blue is a very good and underrated perfume and has close resemblance to Chanel Bleu . I even think Dylan Blue might even be better than Chanel.
Tanveer Shahriar I wouldn’t suggest Tom Ford Noir,I personally owned it and it is not very mass appealing at all. Rather go with Noir Extreme which everybody likes!
I would call myself a newbie. Although I've been wearing cologne since 9th grade. I've had about 10 or 15 diff but I have stuck to certain ones n just tried a few others. But recently, I've been blind buying just to branch out. I'm a citrus guy, but I need a fall/winter scent
Anyone who has reservations about dropping $100+ American on any cologne, you'll discover colognes are like glasses, belts, hats, jackets, women....you just won't settle for one.
Hello, Monika I just subscribed to your Chanel you do these videos ASMR style, you have a soft voice Honestly I could Fall Sleep Just listening to your voice'' in a good way, love it relaxable voice just wanted to say hello from Mexicali Mexico, and my Lovely city Calexico California....
Lanuit del homme is one that I really need to check out. I haven't seen a reviewer yet say that it's not good. Tho I'd probably be wearing it to work lol.
Techup yes! Not sure if it’s for work, but it’s my first blind buy and it’s absolutely amazing! I don’t think anyone would complain about you wearing it in the office, cheers!
Tmac19892007 yes! Thank you for helping me clarify! I 100% agree with everything you’ve just said, I’ve never gotten to experience the old formulation I always hear about sadly.
I'm very surprised you didn't mention Prada L'homme. Its a very fresh and clean office/daytime fragrance at a great price. Other than that I really enjoyed the video the production quality is amazing. I'm actually going to pick up Eros today! :)
Personally, I think if I was going to start over I would buy samples of all the hyped and the famous perfumes and an then buy based on my own liking from the samples that way my collection would be more personal specially that there is perfumes that have similar vibe but I think I would enjoy anyway (like Y EDP and Sauvage EDT)
Love your voice n very good info im up my perfume game and it gave a lot impact in my dating n never run out of girls love from Malaysia! Tom Ford Oud Wood parfum really makes memorable impression on girls n i get complimented a lot!
You are amazing, keep going 👍 Can you make a vlog comparing between Elysium Roja parfum and Club de nuit ? Creed similar !! And what you suggest for Summer 2020?
which of these (if any) would you say are redundant and what would you suggest in place?: armani adg profondo edp chanel bleu edp chanel ahs edt hermes tdh edt tf noir extreme edp jpg le male edp

This is how I did my first month:
1. Le Male - JPG
2. The One - D&G
3. Acqua Di Gio - Armani
4. Stuff it... I'm all in. Spends another $2000
My top tip to anyone who starts collection is to get one all-around fragrance and then save up around $150 while also creating a list of their most desired perfumes (after they have smelled it at a store, I do not recommend blind buying) and the last step is to wait for amazing deals (there are always deals online but I'm talking big savings upwards of 50%) that way you can get the things that you want for less price.
Awesome picks Monika! A few fragrances I would recommend for newbies starting out are:
1. Coach for Men (any occasion)
2. Versace Pour Homme/Signature (Office wear)
3. John Varvatos Artisan Pure (casual wear)
4. D&G The One EDP (date night)
5. JPG LeMale (night out/party)
Btw, all these sum up to be less then $250 and they're great mass appealing, compliment getters and most have decent longevity so there you go!
I see a Monika video, I click the like button! Love from Costa Rica! ❤️👌🏽
This is a great list for a Newbie!
Great list my friend!
P.S. Anyone who loves Kobe is a friend of mine.
@@dualityofman1253 yes sir! Cold blooded assasin🔥
I hope this helps someone...
you should know that i'm just 19 years old so my picks are kinda "childish"
1- montblanc starwalker for an everyday scent (if you are in the mood for more go with sauvage or Y from YSL)
2- prada l'homme for the office (if you are confident enough you can pull out a leathery one like farenheit from Dior)
3- Invictus / Eros for clubbing (One million lucky is not for everyone but it's a good pick too)
4- l'homme ideal edp for dates
@Kev 777 thankss!! English isn't my native language
Invictus and Eros are worn by too many people, choose something else
I really like the way you speak, so calmly and gracefully. Good Job!
Fragrances I started with or shall I say the ones I currently have:
1) Versace Eros (EDT) - Clubbing
2) JPG Ultra Male (EDT) - Clubbing
3) Prada L'Homme (EDT) - Work
4) D&G Light Blue eau intense (EDP) - Summer
5) Versace Dylan Blue (EDT) - Everyday
6) D&G The One (EDP) - Winter
7) F By Ferragamo (EDT) - Just to spray all over my wardrobe, bedsheets, pillowcases etc - This one is the cheapest and doesn't last at all
8) YSL la nuit de l'homme (EDT) - Date nights/events
9) Armaf club de nuit intense man (EDT) - So that I can try what's close to Aventus by Creed without paying the big bucks
I've minimized down to 5 for life. They're all Chanel and Armani. This is a great list for any guy who wants to smell great.
Monicka Cioch, you and your husband make the finest quality productions, the videos are just so easy to watch, so well made, and may all your wishes and dreams come alive sooner than you think.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Aqua Di Gio Profumo, Versace Dylan blue, Hugo Boss Bottled intense, Azzaro Wanted by night should not be missed as a begginer! Strong Fragrance!
This is how I would do it (and mostly did when I started):
Guerlain Homme
or Bvlgari Wood Neroli
(Warm weather)
AdG Profumo
(All-round/Office)
V&R Spicebomb Extreme
(Cold weather)
Terre D'Hermes
(relatively all-round/office)
Rasasi La Yuqawam (Cold weather)
The world is so much better in Monika's channel, isn't it? I wish everyone could be as minimalistic and able to build this cozy vibe
As a newb, I like how your list combine a few choice into a group and fully explained them. Thanks :D
my first purchases were (1st batch)
1. JPG Ultra Male
2. Acqua di Gio Profumo
3. prada l'homme
4. Dior homme intense
I got 18 fragrances now in total in 3 months xD
Dawg I thought I was the only one. It’s been 6 months and I’m 19 bottles deep planning for the next batch
@@sunnantariq723 hahaha yeah its bad for me, now I am on the 6th to 7th month and I have 36 now witth 3 new ones on the way hahahaha
2 days, 39 bottles. Noobs.
Video production quality is AMAZING! Definitely one of my favorite fragrance reviewers 👍🏽
I started my collection with Bleu de Chanel EDT
I own 4 fragrances at the moment - Bleu de chanel parfum, Tom Ford ombre leather, D&G The one EDP, Dior Sauvage EDP. Dior is oldest and I use it less than before.
The first bottles in my collection starting out in 2011... Acqua di Gio, Polo Black, Bleu de Chanel when it came out, several Curves and Nauticas... but my fragrance journey didn't really take off until about 3 years ago after I discovered Houses like Parfum de Marly, YSL, Dior, Mancera, Chanel Etc. This is not a cheap hobby, that's for sure.
I have all the first 3! All amazing!! She knows exactly what she’s talking about!🙏🏽
All very safe picks Monika, nice.
Ferrari bright neroli (spring/summer)
Mugler cologne (office/daytime)
Eau de missions (date)
I started out with
Ferrari - bright neroli
Jacque Bogart - pour homme
Tom ford - neroli Portofino
Eros, Burberry London, Montblanc Starwalker, Dylan Blue, light blue eau intense, La Nuit De L'homme
Got these all for about $250 on discounters (YSL at retail so could be had for cheaper)
You could switch out mont blanc with any other frag of your choice with the money you save on ysl but I love the way starwalker works on my skin
Hey Monica! The quality of your videos are insane and I feel like we have the same taste especially in our love for Bleu de Chanel. Can’t wait for your new videos 😄😄
As a beginner I would go in this order to save money and for value per ml:
1. Club de nuit intense man, smells super similar to Creed Aventus, lasts long and can be an everyday signature fragrance for $30
2. Aqua di Gio Profumo is just so incredible and nostalgic of the original Aqua di Gio, but last much longer and is perfect for office/work setting. $100
3. Versace Eros is just so addicting to smell for a night out with some clubbing or lounge time. It’s sweet with vanilla, mint and is so fresh and sexy at the same time. Women LOVE this scent, but fair warning it’s loud and proud, definitely not a office or everyday wear in my opinion. $50
4. YSL del’homme is just so nice and sexy. It has cardamom and lavender, which are some of my favorites notes. I’m a huge cardamom fan and this cologne is definitely a crowd pleaser and perfect for date night or going out to eat with friends. You definitely swap it out for like Azzaro wanted, Azzaro wanted by night, or Spicebomb extreme. But it’s just a great addition if you’re a collector. $80
I’d try and cover all my bases.
Ideal,
Summer, Spring, fall & Winter
And all occasions, cool and warm weather formal, dates and clubs.
Blue De Chanel EDT: would cover summer and spring, and could be used for warmer formal uses. It’s also applicable for dates in warmer weather. (100ml @ $90 usd)
Guerlain IDEAL Homme EDP: is ideal for the cold weather. Winter and fall are covered, this could also be a interesting choice for a date fragrance and it’s completely applicable for a club. (50ml @ $40 usd from fragrancenet)
Last,. Now that we have everything covered except a cool formal fragrance. It’s also nice to have something special.
Dolce & Gabbana the One EDP or Dior Homme Intense.
They’re both date appropriate. Cold weather appropriate and very much a elegant scent for formal occasions.
That would be my 3 choices.
As a newbie to fragrance world, my first 3 were cheapies :
1. Encre Noire
2. Club de nuit Intense
3. Aramis 900
Further purchases followed, but till date, my signature scent is Encre Noire. Absolutely captivating.
P.S : I am still amazed at the quality of your videos. The editing is absolutely top notch.
Encre noire sport is babe❤️
Thank you Robin! ✨
Aramis - you animal haha manly scent
You made my life easy. I’ll throw some light 💡 on how. Well I’m a fragrance collector. So last time I checked I had almost 200 frags. Now my close family members or friends keep asking me on how to just collect a few frags to cover all situations in there life. Now I don’t have to spend hours to explain them everything you did here. All I have to do is copy your link & share it 👍👍 Thank you 🙏
My list would be...
All occasions: Chanel EDT $90
Work: D&G pour homme intenso $45
Club/night out Invictus $45
Date: Givenchy Pi $47
Summer/hot weather: Jimmy choo man Ice$28 or D&G light blue EDT $45
Givenchy Pi is such a great frag.
D&G why not the intense version?
Emmanuel Román oh i meant Intense! 😅 didn’t notice but yes intense is better
@@radicalla9464 hahaha, yeah, intense is mucho better
The typical Dior/Chanel/Armani frags are here... but I’d argue that something from Lalique or Guerlain also needs mention. High quality, well priced.
Absolutely! Vetiver by Guerlain is absolutely beautiful and is very inexpensive
My first designer was also sauvage, then my brother got me jimmy choo urban hero, and then I got Chanel allure homme sport extreme, and last was Mont Blanc explorer! The Chanel fragrance is my go to for work but I wear the rest on the weekends or to the gym
If you want to spend 250$, have great variety but don't want to smell like everyone else on the street, you should buy collection-sets from niche houses. It's often 5-8 frags á 8-11ml and it gives you some variety to test, explore, find out what you like and what you hate and so on. Great ones to start with are Parfums de Marly Collection or MFK Wardrobe (each around 160 $). Those frags tend to be very strong so 10ml can last you some time if you rotate.
FRAGRANCE SUGGESTIONS FOR NEWBIES?... hmmm..
I would go with things like
Bentley Momentum Intense - as an all-rounder crowd pleaser
Lanvin Eclat D'Arpege pour Homme - as a light summer scent
Roberto Cavalli Uomo Silver Essence - as a formal scent
Guerlain L'Homme Ideal EDT - as a winter scent
I think you can buy all of these for less than 100 pounds
Cheers!
Everyday -Terre d’Hermes edt
Fresh - Sedley
Going out - JPG Le male le parfum
Date - Jazz Club
I started just recently with :
Eisenberg J'ose edp
Gisada Ambassador edp
Prada L'Homme edt
Bleu de Chanel edt
Bvlgari AQVA Pour Homme edt
And my next purchase would be
YSL La nuit del'homme (maybe intense) for dates probably
and
JPG Ultra Male for clubbing
Make a little stand and place the bottle on it while you are talking. Put the bottle on your left in front of the camera. Its hard to see the bottle name when you are waiving it around.
Acqua Di Gio, Armani Code, Star Walker by Mont Blanc, Oud Touch and Blue Touch by Franck Oliver, John Varvatos Vintage, Bentley Man Intense, Club de Nuit Intense, Bvlgari Man in Black, and counting. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ I’m addicted. 😘🥰
Nicely done, great choices! Mont Blanc - Individuel, Lacoste - Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 pour lui Noir for Men Eau de Toilette, Hugo Boss - Reversed, Boss Bottled - Intense, Versace - Eau Fraiche are some excellent starters..
For beginners, get Versace Dylan Blue. Super safe scent and can use it any season, any occasion. And definitely will get you some compliments. Also, very affordable! I also recommend Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Intense for the upcoming spring/summer weather.
Nice collection!
Although Creed Aventus retails for 210€ (100 ml) in Greece so you can also decide to go full in and be done with one fragrance for literally everything.
Love watching your videos before bed!
Great Picks. Fully agree with most of them. Heres my list:
Any - Dior Sauvage EDT, Bleu De Chanel EDT
Summer - Lacoste Essential, Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme
Winter(Must have for Canada) - A*Man Pure Havane, Bentley Intense For Men
Date Night - YSL LNDL, D&G The One EDP
Office/Professional - Prada L'Homme, Lacoste L12.12 Blanc
Also love Armaf CNDIM(Any), Davidoff Coolwater (Summer), Narsico Rodriguez Bleu Noir For Him (Any) & Chanel AHSEE (Summer)
I guess toss in Versace Eros for clubbing but I usually just sub Sauvage.
Lacoste Essential was my first and what got me hooked on fragrances, after that it was CK Euphoria and Lacoste Challenge. Only been deep into collecting the past year or so but went a little overboard on the collection. My advice, shop online discounters or use a sample website to try a ton and see what you like before purchasing. Keep up the great videos/podcasts!
Already bought: Sauvage edp, Stronger with you edt, Versace Eros edp, JPG le male le parfum.
Next: VR Spicebomb Extreme and Bleu De Chanel👌
I’m still a newb. Only have Versace Dylan Blue and Eros. Have had CK One and Cool Water in the past. Really want Prada L’homme next. And then maybe Y Live, The One EDP, and Light Blue Eau Intense.
I have each of those and they are all very good but each are different. . Y Live is excellent and smells great. . You can’t go wrong on date night with The One edt or edp, and Prada L’Homme is a great work scent. Impossible to dislike that one.
Around 1990 I started of with Dior Fahrenheit, Paco Rabanne pour homme and Joop homme.
End of the 90s Boss Bottled became my favorite fragrance for quite some time.
Fahrenheit en Boss Bottled were amazing en one the best compliment getters. Every girl loved them.
Remember I got them when they just came out and were a true sensation. And certainly not cheap back in the day.
Weird to see they've become boring oldies (like me.. 🤔😎), hence, disliked quite a lot these days.
Unimaginable in my clubbing days (although still going out regularly, but I digress 🙃).
My first fragrances were Terre D Hermès EDT, Versace Dylan Blue, Gentleman Only, Tres Nuit, Armani code Absolu Gold, Arabian Knight, Carolina Herrera Men, and YSL Y (I should’ve gotten Y live)
Hello I bought Aqua di Gio Profumo and Bleu de Chanel and I love both, Im more like gio scent but since I dont like more sweet scents for men Im more for this two, if I gotta choose Aqua di Gio Profumo hands down :)
1all occasion : versace dylan blue. 2 office: ysl y edp 3casual : ysl lhomme 4date night :ysl la nuit de lhomme 5night out party:versace eros
My first fragrance was Mr Burberry then i bought d&g light blue intense and la nuit
YSL- La nuit de l'homme 3.4 oz
D&G- The One EDP 5 oz
Chanel- Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme 5 oz
Total= approximately $300
Great video as always Monika.
If I was on a budget and could only have 3 frags.
Fresh/Everyday/Anytime - Parfums Vintage Evolution De L'Homme Soir. $85 This is a dupe/clone of Roja Dove Elysium.
Summer/Club - Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Eau Fraiche (AKA Popeye or Superman) $85
Date Night - YSL La Nuit Da L'homme Eau de Toilette $63
The production quality on this video is amazing
Approaching 10k subs. This is exponential growth!
Great video and I enjoyed it and i don't like Dior sauvage but I like bleu de channel parfum and aqui de gio profumo and Versace Eros and have a blessed day
i started with
Dior Sauvage
Dior Homme Intense
Chanel Egoiste
Bleu de Chanel
so i am overall pleased haha.
Only 2 of these i didn't guess u were gonna say :D I had 100ml of sauvage and loved it, always can put it on anywhere anytime also had la'nuit delhomme wich i loooved and some girls absolutely loved it but older women didn't like it. Also Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau de perfum is also a really damn good one. You can wear it anywhere and its sooo unique and super long lasting with strong projection. Ran out of that too along with lanuit and sauvage :D Just recently bought Prada L'homme, Mont Blanc Explorer, Ck One Shock and Versace Eros and i like them all. At first i wasn't really feeling the explorer but once i wore it wow it really is a damn good fragrance.
This is a very good video! You got all the best fragrances down, I know because I've been researching for a few days and this video nails down all the top picks I found. If I had found this video first it would've saved me all that time. Great work!
Prada L'Homme - Fresh
CH Men Prive - Intimate
Versace Eros - Party time
Montblanc Explorer - Everyday
Imo best going out fragrances are jpg ultra male, versace eros, and Paco rabbane invictus and people should have 6 different fragrances a Mr versatile like sauvage EDT or bleu de chanel, a summer gem like light blue Eau intense pour homme or acqua di gio profondo, a winter fragrance like the one edp or spice bomb extreme, an office/school scent like Prada lhomme, a clubbing scent either eros or ultra male and a date fragrance like la nuit d'lhomme, and a quick tip if your on a date as a man and go back to her or his place for yanno then make sure your wearing la nuit d'lhomme and take a travel atomiser then when they're out the room after you've done it spray 2 sprays on each pillow so when you leave they'll smell you and won't be able to get you out of their head, if your good in bed then your guaranteed a second visit back to theres
Totally agree with Bvlgari Aqva original. Awesome! Another under rated and reasonably priced one is Givenchy Gentlemen Only the original. Underrated.
Absolutely love Bvlgari Aqva. It's the right kind of freshness when dressing light color clothes casual (whites, very light greys/blues). The fact it still smells amazing the next day on clothes speaks to the strength and quality. Just don't mistaking pick up Aqva Atlantique, which smells like swamp ass
I started with D&G Royal night (for dates and close encounter) then AdG profumo as an everyday versatile fragrance and the third is Armani code Profumo (winter fragrance).
Now I'm thinking about adding a 4th one and have to make a choice between Spicebomb, Le mâle JPG, Versace Eros, Bvlgarie m'en in black
Versace Eros, Versace Dylan Blue and Versace the Dreamer were my first perchase ever .
My forever signature scent was the old school Le Male, but recently acquired Blue de Chanel EDP, and love it. It gets loads of compliments. I'm building a fragrance collection after many dormant years so thank you for the recommendations.✌🏽
Thanks Monika, great to see le male essence getting more love, really enjoying that scent atm, thanks for the recommendation. When I started last year I did think of blue channel and savuage but went for Dylan blue instead for an all rounder as it might not be as popular and does a similar job for me. Big lv mark X
Hi Monika, perfect choices for a starter list with a personal twist. I would recommend all your fragrances except bvlgari aqua as I haven't tried it yet but is on my list for 2020.
6 years into my fragrence journey and I have not got 1 fragrance to rule them all yet Don t know if I ever will.
Looking forward to your next vid.
Great choices Monika !!! I just feel Dylan Blue over Explorer. I started with La Nuit De L'homme (original formulation 8YB02-1), Kiton Men by Kiton, Dior Sauvage, Acqua Di Gio Profumo and Givenchy Gentlemen Only Absolute. Don't start like me is the message I'm trying to send.😂
Great list, Monika, especially including the all-around versatile scents such as Bleu de Chanel! I'm planning on building up my collection with some future scents like Versace Man Eau Fraiche for Summer and Replica By the Fireplace for next Fall/Winter. I also will have to try out Montagne Parfums' Parfum De Cerise as I've heard it's a great clone of Tom Ford's Lost Cherry (my sprayed card from weeks ago still smells fantastic of the real thing, but oooof that TF price).
happy to see that most of my current frgrances are here!
dior sauvage parfume
versace eros
ysl la nuit de'l homme
bvulgari aqua pour homme
and last is davidoff cool water
thank you monika i learned a lot!
Thanks for watching!
Great video Monika!!! I would really like a video for a great fragrance collection for us women. I just got 3 fragrances delivered. Ordered online. 2 of them for summer, & 1 for fall & winter. I bought 2 as testers. Saved a bunch!!! All women's fragrances. For me!!! Although my daughters come over & spray themselves. They're my neighbors, but not too close, each house is about a quarter mile from each other. All 3 of our homes. Oh well what are mama's for? LOL
You have in a quite short time become a famous fragrance reviewer. Congratulations and well deserved!
Hello Monika, how are you? Thank you for that great list and video. I started my collection last spring,I have about 35 Fragrances. My first purchase was Dior Sauvage and Le Male. I can't seem to stop Lol 😂. Have a great day and thank you again.
That’s a big collection already! ✨ Have a great day!

great shortlist :) some good ones in there. really like the mont blanc explorer bottle. and had eros on before watching
apart from the main point of the video which is very informative, THOSE B SHOTS ARE SOOO CLEAN!!!
My very first fragrance was Polo Sport. It's still amazing!
WOW, superb review. How lucky your husband is!
Lacoste Blanc was my 1st fragrance ever i really liked it i bought it in 2011/2012 then re bought it again in like 2016 the perfomance isn't the best but its cheap and a really great scent!
It’s a great cheapie!
Y EDP
Dylan Blue
D&G Light Blue
Super review Monika !! Excellent video quality with wonderful camera, lighting, music, graphics and slow motion sfx. My best wishes. Please review Terre D' Hermes Pure Parfum and EDT.
Is Dolce & Gabbana Dylan Blue a good first buy? I bought it. What do you guys think of this fragrance?
Another great video! I was surprised to see your La Male Essence in the list. That's not one you usually see, but it's really good. I knew for sure I would see La Nuit in there someplace! LOL.
I thought I liked it, but it's clearly one of, if not your most favorite fragrance. You have great taste!
I like pretty much everything from YSL. One of my favorite designer houses.
Thanks Pete! Ysl is a great house 😊
I'd like to suggest three fragrances, The One by D&G, Tom Ford Noir (Which is very cheap compared to other TF's) and last but not least, Versace Dylan Blue. IMHO, Dylan blue is a very good and underrated perfume and has close resemblance to Chanel Bleu . I even think Dylan Blue might even be better than Chanel.
Tanveer Shahriar I wouldn’t suggest Tom Ford Noir,I personally owned it and it is not very mass appealing at all. Rather go with Noir Extreme which everybody likes!
I would call myself a newbie. Although I've been wearing cologne since 9th grade. I've had about 10 or 15 diff but I have stuck to certain ones n just tried a few others. But recently, I've been blind buying just to branch out. I'm a citrus guy, but I need a fall/winter scent
Anyone who has reservations about dropping $100+ American on any cologne, you'll discover colognes are like glasses, belts, hats, jackets, women....you just won't settle for one.
Hello, Monika I just subscribed to your Chanel you do these videos ASMR style, you have a soft voice Honestly I could Fall Sleep Just listening to your voice'' in a good way, love it relaxable voice just wanted to say hello from Mexicali Mexico, and my Lovely city Calexico California....
Lanuit del homme is one that I really need to check out. I haven't seen a reviewer yet say that it's not good. Tho I'd probably be wearing it to work lol.
Techup yes! Not sure if it’s for work, but it’s my first blind buy and it’s absolutely amazing! I don’t think anyone would complain about you wearing it in the office, cheers!
Tmac19892007 yes! Thank you for helping me clarify! I 100% agree with everything you’ve just said, I’ve never gotten to experience the old formulation I always hear about sadly.
I'm very surprised you didn't mention Prada L'homme. Its a very fresh and clean office/daytime fragrance at a great price. Other than that I really enjoyed the video the production quality is amazing. I'm actually going to pick up Eros today! :)
Personally, I think if I was going to start over I would buy samples of all the hyped and the famous perfumes and an then buy based on my own liking from the samples that way my collection would be more personal specially that there is perfumes that have similar vibe but I think I would enjoy anyway (like Y EDP and Sauvage EDT)
video quality is top notch
Love your voice n very good info im up my perfume game and it gave a lot impact in my dating n never run out of girls love from Malaysia! Tom Ford Oud Wood parfum really makes memorable impression on girls n i get complimented a lot!
Best ASMR chanel so far
Finally found someone in UK apart from fragmental who does fragrance vids
Think I’ll try some Y Live from YSL and Blue De Chanel
You are amazing, keep going 👍
Can you make a vlog comparing between Elysium Roja parfum and Club de nuit ? Creed similar !! And what you suggest for Summer 2020?
Interesting choices. Looks like professional production. Do you have a team behind you?
which of these (if any) would you say are redundant and what would you suggest in place?:
armani adg profondo edp
chanel bleu edp
chanel ahs edt
hermes tdh edt
tf noir extreme edp
jpg le male edp
I think Dior sauvage also has the best bergamont thank you
nice review monica.i am from Indonesian. i like vercase eros and Aqua di gio profumo 😉
