I've BEEN telling y'all.
These 10 fragrances are not new to the channel. In fact, many of them have been on the channel, in countless videos, for years now.
If you've been here a while and you haven't yet tried these, well...I'm not mad. Just disappointed. But more than disappointed, I'm hopeful that you'll finally trust my recommendation.
If you're new here, welcome. You've got some catching up to do. Have fun. đ

Overture Man smells like a rich chauvinist traditional brash man yet with a warm heart
Overture man is 100% my next full bottle from Amouage. The first 2 or 3 times I wore my sample, I straight up didn't get it. Once it clicked, though, I could NOT stop smelling where I'd sprayed. It's just incredibly luxurious, rich, and as you said, prickly. It almost smells *sour* if you smell it up close, but in the air? An olfactory blessing. Your Amouage recs have been precisely aligned with my tastes so far.
Have you tried Overture Woman. ?
@@anuragdaga3221 I haven't, no. The only woman's fragrance I've tried from that house was a strong rose one in a pink bottle with a maroon cap. I wanted it, but opted for Reflection and Enclave instead. How does Overture Woman compare to the men's version?
@@pane36 itâs a fruity version of Overture Man, IMO. Doesnât lean feminine at all. Try it out someday.
Oh I love love loooveee that one
I bought 40 knots and love it. Also I bought Terre De Hermes off your word and I wasnât disappointed. Love them both
i went for Black Touch by Frank Oliver and Lush Vetiver by Zara. both are great alternatives to Terre De Hermes.
@@louiscarrillo5873 oh nice I like the scent DNA in General. Iâve got another recommendation Paris Corner Emir Vibrant Vetiver. It literally smells like a sweet sprite the only drawback is the performance.
Everytime i go on decant sites... 40 knots is sold out haha but terre de hermes is đ„
The more I think above it I think people not really into fragrances complain about performance because they don't have a large collection and think everything should last all day for their money. In my fragrance journey I have found some scents to be great for half a day then I want something else. What you said about fragrances becoming nauseating is so true. Some super "beast mode" scents are sometimes too much and make you feel sick after smelling it all day.
Love Brioni đ€”đżââïžĂclat â€! I bought it last summer and really enjoyed it , in some ways it reminds me of Tygar with the grapefruit and ambroxan at the base but more musky , transparent and classy with the rose đč a classy daily fragrance for spring & summer but can be casual at the same time.
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
Great vid as always thanks Justin!
Thanks for watching!
ok, i got my nose on Overture Man. i really liked it. the wearer must be confident and match this scent to the situation. that said, its pretty special.
Brother put Vintage, ah nah. He serious now đ€Ł
Wow another great video, completely love the raw honesty about certain fragrances. Definitely need to get my hands on some vintage and give it a try. Thanks for another amazing video.
Thanks for watching!
Keep em coming !!
Love the new videos man. Would love a list type of perfumes that are considered perhaps more heavy and cloying that are typically used in winter that you think are still usable in summer.
Overture Man is life-changing. Top 3 of all time in my rankings.
Love it a lot but damn is it specific and very low wearability--đą
40 knots, Overture Manđ„đ„đ„two of my favorites đđœ
Gucci Guilty Absolute: After watching this video, I went to a local Perfume shop, tested it and bought instantly a 150ml bottle. Itâs soooooo good.
I brought samples of L'humaniste and Terre Dâ Hermes. Both wear good on my skin. Planning on getting full bottles. Thanks for the recommendation!
Yesss, Gambit getting some love!! Just something great going on with that scent, can't explain it.
There DâHermes Parfum is my current summer signature. I just got it and I am in love with that DNA. People say the flint makes it controversial, but I think it absolutely makes it. So good
ââĄâĄâĄYou my brother man! Sharing the joy of fragrance pure and simple, is what it is all about. On longevity, its comparable to sharing love. Sometimes its a brief , purely sensual, viceral affair thats fleeting (i.e. Aventus, Nio, Gypsy Water, and Virgin Island Water). At other times it can be a more substantial, deeply moving, and long lasting (i.e.Dior Homme Parfum, PDM-Layton, Masque Milano-Russian Tea, Argos-Danae & Triumph of Bacchus,). And Btw: Frapin's: L'Humaniste, Orchid Man, 1270 Extreme, pretty much all they put out is *enjoyable= *to my nose Much appreciation goes out to you, the Mrs'. & the whole Stay Fresh Crew!âĄâĄâĄâ
Overture is not for everyone, I like a lot of Amouage but that one is definitely not my thing. But I love that itâs really out there. Amouage is not a safe brand and you will find something that makes you smell unique for wearing it
Gave vintage a try a year or two back after seeing it the videos. Bought a decant expecting not to like as the notes don't fit what I usually go for but man was it good ended up snagging a full bottle.
Finally got my bottle of Varvatos Vintage, it had been on my wishlist for a while, i truly love this fragrance, the way it affects me is indescribable, a 10/10 for me. Love Gambit as well, to me its closer to desirtoxic kind of mixed with percival so made more versatile, it is quite expensive but worth saving up for imođŻ. Also u might enjoy 1 million golden oud, its being compared to gucci guilty absoluđ
I definitely bought Varvatos Vintage because of you lol. Not disappointed
Overture layer with any Killian angels or even the dupe . Is the best layering ever
Iâve sampled/bought several fragrances on your recommendation:
- 40 Knots
- LâInsoumis
- Declaration dâun Soir
- Brioni EDP Intense
Iâm currently testing fragrances that share the Terre DâHermes DNA (which I enjoy) to see which Iâm most drawn to:
- TDH
- TDH Eau Givree
- TDH Eau Intense Vetiver
- Declaration (OG)
- Bleu Noir EDP
Iâm learning I often agree with your tastes, and find that I too enjoy the more polarizing fragrances the most. I need to revisit Gucci Guilty Absolute. The first time I tried it, I was repulsed! But I smelled it again recently in a store and was intrigued. Iâm going to have to get a sample of that, and the others on this list soon!
Keep up the great work!
Edit: I also picked up a sample of LâHumaniste recently, and I agree, the smell is heavenly!!!
Love this list. I do work 12 and sometimes 16 hour shifts though. I do have some that last for me for an entire shift though.
Another StellaR Collection Thanks J.C. âŁïž I have to say I Own 3 fragrances thanks to you J.C. And L'huminist was first one I bought after your solid enthusiasm đ Second fragrance I own after your recommendation is Cartier Declaration Parfum đ„ Crazy GOODâŁïž And last one is on the way đ And it is the very last fragrance in this video. Can't wait now đ Super Curious About Dolce Giorno Juice...
That is awesome!
This video caused me to revist a sample of L'humaniste I purchased maybe last summer after watching one of your vids. I didn't care for it originally. Sprayed it and wow! Smells "Gentlemanly" as you often say.
I definitely have Vintage because of you đȘđŸđ„ I definitely blind bought it đ and it's Great! 8.5 for me
"welcome to a another stay fresh production"
Thank you ,Justin will sample Overture man, Straight to Heaven & 40 knots
TDM EDT is still the best one of the line. I actually got a comment outdoors. A woman 20 feet away from me said "Wow someone is smelling good today." I have it on with a Parfum sample and EDT just rises above it. I love that flint smell. Not going to work for teenagers though.
Gucci Guilty Absolute
I have a 100ml Blind. Did not like it at first, was using it every day for work. Just to use it up and make space, but stopped halfway through the bottle as I realised it was special and I liked it. I'll keep it long-term for special occasions. Smells like medicine at first but I've awakened to the boozy strong leather vibe when it settles to the dry down.
Love me some Gucci Guilty Absolute! It's definitely and acquired taste and not mainstream appealing but it's such an interesting fragrance.
Brioni Eclat is so good
I really loved Zaharoff xxx thanks for the recommendation
Bought Amouage Jubilation 40 Man and Overture Man 9 ML samples because of you. I'm betting it all on... Justin. đ
Enjoy!
Does Most Fresh Good
John varvato vintage first time I smelled it I had 50 samples of niches... It was the one it stood out the most. Is similar to my nose to ch men prive vibes... Very pleasent a bit dark a bit sweet and boozy scent
I've sinned last year and blind bought a tester of 40 Knots. It was a love for me. Its fresh in a different way, very manly and classy.
Iâm glad it worked for you!
Overture Man is a masterpiece , top 5 of all time. L'humaniste is a gem.
Lets be honest, Lâhumaniste is one of the most pleasing smelling fragrances that exist. Performance is a shame but the smell is so gorgeous.
I remember first trying Terre d'Hermes on a test strip and absolutely hating it. Then got a sample and tried it on skin. Complete 180 from what I smelled previously and I love it now! There's a subtle sweetness I get from TDH that I don't get from other designer woody fragrances like Dior Homme 2020/Sport 2021 or Burberry Hero. Maybe it's skin chemistry? Not sure but definitely need to get a full bottle soon
Probably a skin chemistry thing! Good to hear
Mind Games Gambit is something special to me. Tried it and a few of their others but that one stood out immediately! Had to take that one home... it's very pricey đŹ
I was expecting to see desirtoxic in this video đź. I purchased desirtoxic and l'intense yesterday, because of your videos, just waiting for them to be delivered, they better be good! đ
100K is just around the corner!! đ„đȘđ»
đđŸđđŸ
On my part I tried some, some were not available nearby, some are still on the list and some just sound like more your taste than mine... which just means it's not a high priority. It's fun to try something that may seem apprehensive at first only to discover a hidden gem. But really, I have plenty of fragrances. New ones don't compete with what is in the stores, they have to compete with what is on my own shelves.
I love Gambit (and most others on your list). It hurt when you said it was similar Savauge. I felt it like a punch to the gut. đ€Ł
I've tried "Straight to Heaven", love it. 40 Knots was alright to me. Terre is on my list. And Vintage is amazing, blind bought it. Makes you feel like a grown ass man. Even though I am a grown ass man.
đđđŸ
Wow, Mind Games' Gambit is stepping in the ring with Dior Sauvage Elixir ?
itâs better because itâs not nauseating
Have you tried Sacred Wood by Kilian? I love that scent and it's my daily driver usually since it's such a unique take on a Sandalwood scent
Iâve tried it years ago. Very nice.
Overture is a masterpiece
Gambit is đ„đ„đ„đ„
Thanks ,
I confirm about John Varvatos Vintage that I loved it from the first sniff , it has a special personality , but I don't think it is a good choice for younger people (less than 22 years old).
And about Xerjoff 40 knots , I am really interested in it , but I can't find anywhere to try it , and it is expensive to buy it blind . Do you think it is safe for blind buy ?
I donât believe 40 Knots is a safe blind buy.
What is going on Justin, I have been with you for years and I have JOHN VARVATOS VINTAGE AT YOUR RECOMMENDATION AND I DO ENJOY IT. BRIONI LINE OF FRAGRANCES ARE REALLY NICE. BOIS 1920 VERY NICE. STAY SAFE BROTHER
Have you tried Tiziana Terenzi Ursa? It's like a stronger version of Straight To Heaven at extrait concentration 100ml stunning bottle for half the price as Kilian and most people agree its better. One of my favourite fragrances. Ursa and Laudano Nero alone make Terenzi one of my favourite houses, and they have more great under the radar fragances like SienĂš which is like leather from OmbrĂš Leather with a woody green cypress note.
I donât love the house of Tiziana Terenzi. Not because their scents donât smell pleasant, but because many of their offerings are simply inspired by other fragrances. I actually prefer Straight to Heaven because it is not very strong.
I have tested Overture Man based on your videos and damn is it good but super specific.
The fragrances I have bought full bottles of so far because of you are:
1-Cartier Declaration D'un Soir
2-Gucci Intense Oud
3-BDK Gris Charnel
4-Xerjoff 40 Knots
5- Vertus Vanilla Oud
6-Terre D'Hermes EDT
And like over 50 samples of othersđđ
Keep up the great and unique work !
Thank you!
If you like Gucci guilty absolute, did you try DS&Durga Amber Kiso? I love this one and find it plays is the same ballpark than Guilty absolute
Iâll need to look into it
What do you think of Franch Defense by Mind Games?
Havenât tried it yet!
I sampled 40 Knots and tested several times but it just didn't do it for me, it smelled awful off my skin. Now I will say, I did really enjoy Torino 21 and Renaissance đ„đđœ
Ok, so now I am listening to your content AT the gym. đł Not sure what that means??? Anyway, requesting moâ trumpet playing and another video of Summer best with Grace and her sister ranking em. Please put Platinum Egoiste in there, if you will, brother! Keep up the amazing creativity! đ
Haha! Thank you Jeffrey. Noted!
Well they do have the extrait lhumaniste now ,I'm still tryna get a sample
Justin, when you mention "polarizing" in your videos, what is meant by that?
It means that most of the time, people will either really like it or not like it at all, without much opinion in the middle.
Thinking of 10/10. I missed out on purchasing either of your fragrances. Any idea what other fragrance may be close to one of your own creations?
Unfortunately I donât have any great recommendations to offer in that regard.
Good choices đ
Except for the overtrue, the smell made me sick for a day , couldn't stand it.
Great list! Halfati cedar???
Maybe in part 3 đ
@@stayfreshproductions I know you love it. Me too!
Have you tried Ursa by Tiziana Terenzi? I hear it has more longevity and leans more Animalic. Do you see it as a good substitute for Straight to Heaven?
I havenât tried it. But as I mentioned, I personally would not prefer for Straight to Heaven to have stronger performance, and Iâm not interested in it being more animalic đ so Straight to Heaven is perfect for me. But Iâd recommend getting a sample of Ursa if youâre interested
You're so right about 40 Knots and Terre d'Hermes, both are amazing. I had been looking at Overture for a while but then heard about Overture Woman and just pulled the trigger on Woman. Should be receiving it soon, have you tried it?
The Woman is also beautiful
@@stayfreshproductions Great to hear!
If you can only pick one between brĂoni eclat or l humaniste frapin which one would you choose ?
LâHumaniste
I thought you were going towy frapin 1270 esp Iâm waiting on that one to come in the mail
Great list man đđœ
I honestly agree that Overture Man Amouage is not for everyone! Literally! đ
Tried to like it but I could never. Although Iâm from the middle east. I had given it several tries but it never worked for me đ
Thanks Jamal! I totally understand!
@@stayfreshproductions
Thanks!
My pleasure âșïž
GG Absolute is a really cool fragrance; however, I am surprised itâs still around.
Floris Jermyn Street, fresh dry Vetiver, never smell this bevorđđ»
I canât try them because I no longer have a job and now am only wearing all the perfumes I already have. Believe me. I would love to have something new, but I can only delve with what I already have at this time.
Please continue to prioritize what is most important, and that is not fragrances!
I did myself the favor, and yeah, you were righ. Jhon Varvatos Vintage its fucking awesome
I like some Kilian, mostly angel share and black phantom. STH I really don't get though, I have a 7.5ml and all I can smell is alcohol and hand sanitizer.. smells super cheap
đđŸ
I personally don't understand how people like invictus DNA over TDH, years ago when i started perfume journey TDH was love at 1st sniff and it still is. Please try some perfumes from the indian house "NEESH", my personal fav are "MEHR" and "Haute Tobacco".
I will be trying Neesh soon.
Encelade? Gannymede Extrait?
I like Overture women a lot. But idk about the men's. I need to smell it again. Maybe I'll get a sample. It's definitely different. My dad may like it.
The womenâs is great too
Do you think a man could wear it
@@royaltybeats22 definitely
Gambit is easily my most worn fragrance. I wear it exclusively at work on cool weather days. My daughter follows be around the house when Iâm getting ready for work and my gf literally moans when she smells the breeze I make when I walk by. Itâs masculine itâs strong and dark yet fresh and clean at the same time. The ones who know knows gambit is đ„
Ok ok I am getting a sample of L'humaniste. But what are your feeling about the intense? đ
Haha havenât tried it yet!
đ„đ„đȘđŸ
well, you just made met blind buy l'Humaniste, you said "trust me" ! đ
Have you tried Oud Stallion from maison crivelli??
I havenât!
@@stayfreshproductions One of my favorite leather scents. If you can give it a try!
If you close your eyes while watching this video you 100% hear Neil Degrasse Tyson
đ
Overture, agree
40 knots, pass
Isnât it great that we all donât like the same fragrances and smell the same.
Ive tried Dolce Di Giorno and i do like it enough that ive given it a scent memory with 40 knots to be a purchase soon. Thanks JC
People would be all over the moon about Amouage Opus XI and be talking Gucci Guilty Absolute down. Interchangeable⊠And I agree with Overture Man: yum! And Overture Woman: also yum! Think about that Woman suffix in the Amouage Collection as âElixerâ or Extremeâ, nothing Woman (only) about it. In your words: âat least worth a sampleâ.
I wish there were a way not to kill my bankroll $10 sample at a time. Any tricks other than Sephora?
I would prioritize your budget over trying new fragrance samples! There is no hurry in this hobby. Nothing wrong with spacing out your purchases more than youâd like!
I just can't with overture man! Now I actually like overture man woman, on my skin. Its a bit more wearable on me.
I'm a big believer in discovery sets. And they can be pathways to deciding to pay a lot for a fragrance that you've tried and liked. But a >$150 _discovery set_? Sorry, Mind Games, that's ridiculous.
14:30
OH GOD. NO MORE THAN ONE SPRAY!
Mind Games French Defense is one you have to get your nose on if you haven't already!! If you like cherry fragrances, then you will absolutely love French Defense
I'm broke đ.. I did buy a decant of Amouage Overture... but it's so dressed up my broke ass never wears it đ€Ł
Nah what a strenge List... i would put Althair in, prob also Absolute Aphrodisiac
But ofc everyone has a diffrent Taste
Ofc
Strange list? Interesting. While I agree that both Absolute Aphrodisiac and Althair are gorgeous scents, it is his list. Make your own and keep scrolling, my guy.
To me 40 knots smells like an airy version of creation E from roja.
The name is Gambit, remember it.
đđđŸ
And OVER đ
I have been trying overture for over a year , I still canât like it
Thatâs ok
Im so sorry but I had to laugh so damn loud about your wrinkles on your forhead they got a life of their own ( I got some crazy wrinkles too so we cool )
Lol. Well rest assured, if you decided to get on camera and show your forehead wrinkles to the world, I just might laugh right back at you. đ
john varvatos vintage is a dissapointment..it smells too ordinary and cheap
