$250 To Spend On Fragrance? (10 Beginner & Advanced Suggestions)
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 07. 2022
- If you've been watching fragrance videos on CZcams for the past few years, you've probably seen a video trend pertaining to spending $250 on fragrances as a beginner. I even did a video like that a couple years back.
This video is more than that. While I am offering 5 functional and purposeful recommendations to a beginner, I am also addressing the issue of non-beginners letting this hobby get out of hand.
Many of you will disagree, but if you have a growing collection of 20 or more fragrances, you have no need to spend $250 or any large amount of money on multiple bottles (especially ones you haven't smelled yet). Slow down!
You don't need me to tell you how overwhelming it can be when acquiring starts feeling like too much. So also contained in this video is my advice and tips for the more seasoned fragrance enthusiast. If you'd like to avoid, or at least slow, the feeling of remorse and jadedness that can come with acquiring more than you need too quickly, I hope you find this helpful.

Good advice on slowing down purchases. It's just tragic looking at bottles that you know you probably won't even use and you either have noone to gift or are unwilling to do so. I'm glad i got this under control. Reviews are a lot more fun and interesting if you don't feel like you need to buy every single recommendation. You'll start to evolve your understanding of scents without any pressure to purchase.
Good points
I have made a few mistakes with expensive fragrances. I have decided to hold for while till finish at least 5 fragrances . I will buy only when I try a few times never by recommendation again
I have absolutely changed my approach to collecting based on your recommendation. I started off blindly buying cheap and moderately priced designers. I amassed about 40 bottles and it was already starting to feel redundant. I don't know why I was oddly opposed to buying decants and samples. Finally after watching some of your videos I decided to pick a house and by some samples. I started with Chris Collins. Feel in love with Oud Galore and Danse Savage. Now I am taking the slower approach. Buying the samples and decants, testing for a while, than pulling the trigger once I really find the ones I love. Makes it more special to me. Now I need to try and buy the 30ml instead of going for the 100 lol. Baby steps.
Sir, Where do you order your samples from?
Prost!
I started collecting the end of December of 2021, I now have over 50 fragrances. I went through the phase of wanting everything bc it’s all new and exciting. Bought several cheapies to scratch the itch but now I don’t even wear them lol. Already starting the shedding phase to make room for more high quality fragrances. I appreciate the different phases this hobby brings out. Keeps you searching
Once again, great insight into the [expensive] world of fragrance. As someone who is just diving in, I took a slightly different route...
I've had a few cheap fragrances over the years and just recently realized how much joy smells and fragrances bring to my life, whether it be the kitchen, the world, or people; so I thought I would invest. I probably spent around $250 on discovery sets and decants to get a large variety of cheaper to very expensive fragrances. I think this allowed me to wear them, as you suggested, find out what kind of notes intrigue me vs seduce me vs what I want to smell like. I also went to retail stores to smell how some of the "most popular" scents fair to my nose and skin. All this was to find out and discover my preferences before I jumped in blind to what I've noticed can become a very expensive hobby/addiction.
The fragrance world is vast. There is candles, pillow mists, aroma therapy oils; there is just so much to discover and have fun with, which has been my biggest take away... Have fun with it.
Great points!
Now I have 20 and who knows when I will use them up. So I really appreciate your advice to be cautious, because man, we all know how easy it is to spring for "just one more!"
I wish I was watching your channel pre 160+ fragrance purchases...somewhere along my journey I've falling down an obsessive rabbit hole and now it's time I invoke some self control... you're perspective of perfum collection always seems to emphasize deliberate, sensible purchases within your financial means... thank you.
I watch a lot of fragrance reviewers on CZcams and I appreciate yours the most. Thank you for doing these!!
Thank you!!
I would also add to always go for the smallest bottle unless you absolutely love the scent or it's discountinued.
I have only 2 bottles of 100ml now. All the other ones 30-75ml.
Hello Justin, how are you? Great job as usual. Thank you for this great informational video. When I first started I said when I got to 20 Fragrances I would stop and then 50 Fragrances I would stop I now have upwards of 150 Fragrances it took me that to learn Quality over Quantity. I try to purchase just one or two Fragrances every two or three months. Stay safe brother and hi to Grace
I definitely agree with the decant recommendation. I now have over 15 frags, and I've started to go down the decant route, picking up a ton of classics and popular newer ones to be able to experience some hyped scents. But since I have my bases covered, I'll only pick up a full bottle of those that truly blow me away.
Justin, I watch several reviewers but youre one of the few that include Ganymede in your lists. It is a very good fragrance and worth the hype. For what its worth, i know you are more into John Varvatos Vintage but to me you are Mr. Ganymede :)
I'm glad you enjoy it!
Thanks for the warning at the end brotha … I wish someone would have told me sooner but I figured it out in time. 👌🏿
Never too late to change what you wanna change! :)
Good idea. I'm sure your suggestions will be much appreciated by many. Thanks
"do not let the addiction take you under"........solid advice. I'm still looking for that perfect showstopper. The other categories I have covered, and I will supplement them with 5ml decants of things that sound interesting. When I run out of one of those categories I replace it with either the same bottle, or one of the fragrances I've sampled if I like them better. This way i get plenty of variety and never have more than 5 or so full bottles on hand at any one time. I can go with 30ml or 50ml if I want to cycle through faster and try more things.
Quality. Period.
When you start the hobby it's about getting your nose on as many scents and exploring. When you've been collecting awhile it's becomes what suits your personality and your favourites. Just my personal experience.
I love this! I'd air on quality over quantity. As someone who has amassed a decent collection, my purchases only are towards fragrances that I don't have similarly and, ones that I have decants of that I need to get the full bottle of. Great video as always Justin and, thank you for having that list initially too! It's very easy to dive into this hobby but after you have a bottle for every occasion you gotta make sure that your next steps are thought out and not impulsive. Beautiful job my guy!!
Thank you!
I definitely suggest a decant. I haven't bought from every decant house but I believe the decants aren't as strong as the bottles. I smelled them back to back, IDK that's just me. I still got a chance to get an idea of what it smells like.
Justin,
You have the ball- now run with it!
A refreshing change up (pun intended) commentator who wants to: lead, teach and share, not sell..
Thank You and Congratulations!
Thank you!
Swapping really helped me slow down purchases. Salutes to you bruh
💯
Great advice Justin.
Realised a while back, but have only just accepted the fact, that it is like being on a constant quest to find "the one", that perfect fragrance. It's out there somewhere, but seems so very elusive.
And unfortunately, for most of us, It will never be found.
JUSTIN MI HERMANITO🙏🏽 I am loving those music intros 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Caballito 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 #triunfando
Thank you!!
I definitely agree with a slow build approach. When I started last year, my goal was to get at least 10 fragrances I could have as my regular rotation and add to it over time. Now I have close to 20 bottles plus some samples. Trying and buying could be adventurous but also overwhelming because you get a hundred or so suggestions from YT but taking my time allowed me to develop my taste and with the exception of a few blind purchases I've managed to keep my collection careful and under control.
I dont have much of a backyard but..you guys can play it anytime. 👍👍
I recently bought roja vetiver and I can wear it for many occasions.
This is the best way I can explain it. After a certain point of fragrance collecting, I find that a lot of fragrances just seem boring, redundant, and just too ordinary. Now, when I am searching for a new fragrance, I look for ones that speak to me, that invoke something deeper than just “this smells nice I guess”. There’s no need for quantity over quality. Especially, when in the grand scheme of things, you only really have a couple opportunities to wear that particular fragrance anyways. I’d say try to find those fragrances that really speak to you and move you.
I can relate!
So of course, I always enjoy your videos and advice.
But man..on a side note - as a drummer - great, tight jazz drumming will never cease to amaze me! The timing is so crazy. You guys were killing it 🥁🎺
Thank you! Yeah he's great!
Scandal has been on the radar. I got a small collection about 20 or so. I try to pick different choices. Quantity sometimes typically before a season if I want to expand the fragrance per season but usually Quality. Currently saving for Gentle fluidity (your recommendation). I did go low and pick up CDNIM for $26 for something new until then as I ran out of Explorer.
Interesting list Justin. I have almost all of the designer fragrances featured. I have decants of Ganymede, Beach Hut Man, Scandal. I have Signature Royale X as well as B-612 bought on your recommendation. The latter is a safe blind buy.
Just found your channel and love the vibe. In regards to this video, as I'm just getting into fragrances and I think you've given great advice. I have a few fragrances I know I love. To find others, I got some samples from ScentDecant and have tried wearing them all day. I found some that I like and a few that I love. So I've built a wish list off of fragrances I'm 99% sure I will enjoy owning. I say 99% because some people say decant samples don't give you the exact mix of a real bottle, but I'm not sure I believe that. Anyways, it's so much fun getting 10 samples for around $30-$40. Since there's so little risk involved, I can take chances on different fragrances or even try more expensive ones
Happy to hear you're taking it slowly! Thanks David.
I like this approach! Great video for newbies. There are a lot of seemingly redundant fragrances across different designers. Listing the occasion and finding a fragrance for that occasion is excellent advice. The first thing I think of when I smell something new is; what does this remind me of? Do I already own something like this? The next question I ask myself; where does this fit in my schedule? Also solid choice of Euphoria. I love the regular Euphoria as a daily dumb reach office fragrance. It wakes me up in the morning. I've been curious about the flankers. I had a small bottle of D&G The One. It was okay but it wasn't the ambery fragrance I was looking for. The One was just a bit too mellow. I had Eros Red and loved it but it was a bit too sexy for 100 degree heat and 40% humidity. CK on the other hand always strikes a nice balance of everything in their perfumes.
Assuming capital is kept constant, I would not do quantity with an existing collection, it's arguably a very bad idea. Simple example: 100ml of Alexandria II is ~500. For the same 500, I can get a 100ml of Ani and a 50ml of Angels Share. However, I could also get 120 mls of all 4: Aoud Vanille, Cedrat Boise, Aoud Lemon Mint, and Instant Crush. To me, it is clear that adding multiple bottles in the lower price bracket is a far worse idea than adding a single bottle at a higher price bracket. The idea is simple: If you have an existing collection, you alraedy have scents filling most functions, so no matter how you slice it, adding 4 Manceras (or whatever other brands you can get 3-5 of) will usually be obsolete. You already have your winter tobacco scent, your summer freshie, your date night scent, your signature, whatever else.
Your suggestions are terrific, I back you up on all of them as your 'dumb reach cheerleader' ;D. (Hahaah! I've never heard that phrase before and it wouldn't surprise me if you coined it yourself.) Brilliant! Such flair. Great suggestions and ideas. PS= Have you had your jaw dislocated yet by reading 'The Ghost Perfumer?' If you haven't bought it yet, get on it. It's the juiciest thing I've read in months (and if you've seen my bookcases, that's saying something for Little Miss Transgression and her dangerously 'problematic' private library ;D). Amy at Savour Salvage Scent recommended it to me as I may have already told you and she was spot on. I highly recommend it. How on Earth Gabe and his publishers avoided serious entanglement in costly litigation and a demand from Creed to pulp the book is a mystery.
I have the book and still need to read it!
@@stayfreshproductions Oh you gotta get on that-- it's so juicy and fully of scandalous revelations about not just the brand but the industry. I almost dropped it into the sudsy bath on holiday a few weeks ago. As a content creator it's even more pertinent that you read it. It's riddled with typos best suited to online comment sections but otherwise really good.
I realized its like buying clothes. When you save a few bucks on a nice "bargain" shirt you feel awesome! Take it home and try it on and its not bad, looks good in the mirror. Then you wear it out and you can't help but notice the fit is kinda off, maybe almost unflattering and now its a weird hue that just doesn't pop. Then its in your closet a few days later and you look at it and you ask yourself why didn't you spend the extra $60, 80, ect on the shirt you know fits perfect, makes you feel great every time you wear it, and you will care for with pride. That was my rational on upgrading my wardrobe and only buying quality but in small amounts. Slowly but surely I got rid of the clothes that just occupied space. Recently I got into fragrances and started blind buying cheapies off hype and noticed a lot of them are ok at best. My opinion now is fragrance is not just "scented water". To me its starting to become just as much a part of my wardrobe as that perfect shirt that I spent months finding and paid top dollar for. I can't go out dressed nice and put together and smell ok at best. I think I will take the latter and go for quality over quantity. Great video.
Don't get me wrong, there are some cheaper scents that are amazing so maybe I'll say in this case, less is more.
I dig it, Nicholas!
i love how my guy justin is trying his best to provide easy, accessible and relatively cheap fragrances for beginners and not his usual niche fragrances but it still feels geniune, not pandering. good job.
and what a jam at the beginning
Thank you Al
You should do a top 10 easiest unisex smelling colognes. Great idea btw
Great list and I enjoyed it and I like Terre De Hermes and John Varvatos Vintage and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day
JC!! Young King!! I'm always tuned in and thanks for always having great content!!
100% Great advice especially the three suggestions for buying freagrances. Still use that now especially since I just ran into 45 total fragrances.
I love when you do the musical openings ! Wondering if you’re a fan of Steely Dan since they’re a pop band that composes with a lot of harmonies.
Thanks for the videos
I do enjoy Steely Dan! Their long-time trombonist is an old mentor of mine.
my blind reach is Entebaa by Rasasi and Coach for Men when its warm outside.. and when its cold my blind reach might be Spicebomb Infrared or Craze by Armaf... only Spicebomb is a bit expensiv the other ones going for arround 30Euro in my Country =D u cant go wrong with that prices and u not afraid to spray alot =D
I sell the perfums I don't use for half price, no regrets. Also buying many decants. Very often a 5ml decant that goes quickly is worth a full bottle.
It's possible to have both Quality and Quantity. It really depends on my budget though. I desire quality fragrances. I specifically tend to be more propelled towards buying Beast Mode expensive designer fragrances. I don't let this mentality break the bank though. It's all done over a period of time in moderation; which creates a long list to achieve. With that being said and done, you start feeling the need to have them all with very little room to put them all. Therefore, to have them all, I buy decants; but mostly to avoid a blind buy, and you can have both Quantity and Quality by following a list and buying decants all within a budget and done in moderation. Overtime you'll have a collection with little room to put them all.
Thank you for sharing, Willie. I'm glad you have a method that works for you.
I've started buying one bottle a month or so in the 150-200 range with my fun money. But right now I'm waiting until my bonus comes in for anything. I do have Xerjoff 40 knots on the way and was super happy w the Viking Cologne tester that I acquired.
Fantastic video. Great tips for beginners. The kind of content worth sticking around for.
PS= I hope for Christmas you'll treat us to a tribute showcase of 'the best negative comments ever left on your comment section'. You could run them like ticker tape alone the bottom of the video if you don't want to give the commenter any of your concentrated attention and just get on filming your video with dignity. Number one with a bullet-- for me-- has got to be the person who complained earnestly about how much they dislike the way you hold the bottles up for the close up presentation of the packaging and juice colour. I literally burst out laughing and immediately screenshot it for future mirth and comic relief after a hard day at work. I can only imagine how entertaining such a compilation video would be. :D
Haha I'll have to do some digging...
Great video! By the way, this video looks more crisp, clean and more crystal clear in relation to very recent ones. Have changed gadgets sir?👍
And I like the final words, one should go slowly too. You are right. Thanks for the video. Have a great weekend ahead.
Thank you! Was just the lighting!
Take care.
Well...all I can say is that I wish I saw this earlier 🤣 I kinda went crazy and bought everything that smelled nice to me and spent a little bit over 800 dollars in 3 months. I just realized I had no fougeres or ciphres in my collection and my finger feels very itchy for that Pour un Homme du Caron or Eau Sauvage Parfum. I kinda ended up with more of the same, all good in my opinion but you get my point. Thanks for reminding me 🙂🙏
Never too late to slow down!
@@stayfreshproductions already did 🙂
I just like the way you're inspiring and honest about one's frangance journey. .I started 2 years ago I pretty much hva emote than 60 mostly designers...
Now I am really picky and love sampling before I buy
Thank you Mike!
Good stuff.
This was your most relevant video to me yet. Love the retrospective advice.
Thank you Seth.
If my entire collection disappeared and I was starting over with $250, then I'd get a 50 ml of Aaron Terence Hughes Onyx and a 10 ml of Aaron Terence Hughes Homme. A few other alternative ways I might spend $250 to start over are 1) Parfums de Marly Layton Exclusif, 2) Tom Ford Tuscan Leather, 3) Tom Ford Black Orchid Parfum and Rochas man EDP, or 4) Dior Homme Parfum, Dior Fahrenheit, and John Varvatos Dark Rebel. 😊👍
Since I now already have a collection/wardrobe of fragrances I would say that at this point I am olny going to buy something if its high quality and does something new for me.
Terre D' Hermes EDP - Everyday "Signature" Scent that I reach for in most occasions. (Medium longevity 6-8 hours and comes and goes in waves on my skin)
Dunhill Icon EDP - Favorite Woody Herbal Scent based on a sample I got. (The sample I got smelled better than the full bottle maybe this one takes time to macerate?)
Spicebomb EDT - Date Night Spice (Really love this scent but I do find that it doesnt last very long maybe 4-6 hours or possibly I go nose blind to it)
Versace Eros Parfum - Partytime and sweet date night scent (Beastmode projection and longevity on my skin I can smell it on skin next day)
Acqua Di Gio Profumo - Easy Grab Office/Formal (This fragrance on me is beast mode and lasts forever 8-10 hours !!!)
Versace Man Eau Fraiche EDT - Great long lasting for me hot weather scent for casual weekend outings.
Everything in my collection sort of covers a pretty wide spectrum. I really like Wu Long Cha as a floral but still masculine fragrance from Nishane and am looking for that banger of an Oud/Leather fragrance. I sampled Memo African Leather and that was quite nice.
I have a 9L box that is halfway full of sample cards at this point. So, not sure if I have a real problem or addiction as I have yet to fill up even a shelf with fragrances. :P
Great video and topic!!!. I Completely Agree with you. I have a decent collection (approx 50), and I have covered every occasion in both cold and hot weather (including niche alternative). So, I decided to stop buying full bottles until, after so many tests and wearings, I really love some scent.
Thanks for all of your recommendation, even more for the not perfume related ones!.
Thank you Jorge!
I wish I would of heard this 2 years ago Thank you sir
I highly recommend you try Euphoria amber gold if you haven't yet, it's by far the best CK imo, it has amazing niche quality to it and kinda unique.
Slowing down is correct. I enjoy fragrance as much as the next person, but not at the expense of being unable to keep the lights on. If you have 20 or more bottles of whatever, that should hold you over for quite some time. To be honest, when you factor in seasonal product those alone may take you forward a few years. Thanks again for all you do here.
TBF I think most people with big collections don't care about how long it lasts, it's more about being able to always smell these perfumes. But I'm not sure, I only have 10 perfumes and don't care to get more
@@floriank5675 I think that's why its always better to get smaller bottles
Justin I have implemented your and Ross’s recommendations to buy decants first. Especially when expanding your palette for niche. In doing so I have saved money and also discovered few fragrances that I’ve felt compelled to buy full bottles of in just a few days of wearing my samples.
One recent sample I’ve splurged on a full bottle of is Marc Antonio Barrios ENCELADE.
WOW WOW WOW!!!
If you enjoy Ganymede (which I own also) I believe you will thoroughly enjoy this newest release. The rhubarb in this is lovely and the drydown to a creamy masculine vetiver (my favorite note in fragrance) is gorgeous. It really is a phenomenal experience. I can’t wait til you get around to trying that one out.
I need to try the new one!
@@stayfreshproductions my bottle is already on the way 😎
I’m in the quality over quantity camp
Great video for those looking to start a collection. Great advice.
One more note: before you spend $250 on fragrance, take a look at your wardrobe. I see a lot of expensive niche brands all over CZcams being critically reviewed by guys wearing graphic T's or cargo pants. I remember the first week I wore Issey Miyake Nuit, it made me grab my nice clothes and dress up. So anyone reading this, if you're about to pull the trigger on a fragrance that costs as much as a decent sports coat... Do you own a sports coat? People will prefer to be around a well dressed man that doesn't wear perfume than a man that dresses like a teenager wearing a $300 niche perfume.
Appreciate this so much...i am actually struggling with this. But even slowing down is so difficult. I literally have like 10 quality scents that i all love 🤣. Thanks for pointing me to Oud Touch way.
Thank you Kristof!
Awesome and very responsible review Justin. Thanks for all you do for the community. Even to how clean the bottles were in preparation for the review. You care about details. I respect your craft.
Thank you!
Quality over quantity! I'll rather spend more on fewer unique scents that I love to wear
I got a small sample of Ganymede the other day, lets see how it wears on me.
Heh...you will most likely love it after 2-3 hours, the dry down is a gorgeous thing.
Excellent topic.
I've been very quality over quantity lately. I just can't see myself being one of these people with 300+ fragrances (I love fragrance but it's not my number 1 hobby/interest, more like 5 or 6 in my top 10). Good to take breaks from fragrance buying at points and spend more time with the ones I have especially if it's something I haven't visited in a while.
My man, I did not know you played trumpet. I play professionally, as well!
Awesome!
You got mad talent bro
Thank you John!
Have you ever tried some etat libre d'orange fragrances? I sampled a few of their parfums recently and while the Hermann one was quite a unique synthetic freshie, it wasn't exciting enough for me. I tried You Or Someone Like You and the first few wears were incredible, really fresh mint that smelled just like a mint leaf if you rub it between your fingers with some rose thats obviously synthetic. Very fresh and green but I think my sample is a bit off, it started smelling just like rose and lost the mint aspect. Definetly interesting and great for high heat but I'm not sure what to think of it.
The last one I tried was Fat Electrician and wow.... I hated it when I first tried it. It smelled like burnt rubber? Like when an electrice device breaks. But I wore it a few times and it has become my favorite of the ones I tried. Very dark and sexy imo. Super unique. It's supposed to be a creamy gourmand vetiver and I really really like it. Not sure if I like it enough to buy a full bottle of, but I think you might like it. Difficult to describe if you ask me but you can definetly smell the vetiver, the resins and whats supposed to be the "cream". Totally surprised me after my first try.
I've tried some of ELDO's fragrances and enjoyed them!
Great video as always. I'm at that point where I'm kind of transitioning from "beginner" to "advanced", so sort of an intermediate type...I have my (mostly) inexpensive collection with something for all weather and occasions, and am starting to look at things that are a little more...well, more. And your channel is a big help to expand what I'm looking at, and I'm very thankful for it.
Unrelated, do you have a music channel? The little snippets at the beginning just aren't enough sometimes man, lol.
Happy to help!
I do have a music channel, look up Justin Copeland Music!
nice line up and presentation as always. one small thing bro, it's not parfoom it's parfaa. i feel should be corrected. thnx
Hi Justin, interesting idea. Once upon a time I would have said as many and as diverse perfumes as possible. Now I would be much more selective. In fact I have already in mind what I want to buy next down to the order of preference. BTW: did you try Costa Azura from TF? Paints a picture with scent rather than oil and canvas!
I still have to try Costa Azzura!
Great advice..
Much success 🙌 God bless ❤️🙏
Hello friend thank you for the suggestions. I have about 15 to 20 fragrences and been wondering how to incorporate different types of seats. Everytime I go to a department store they are always trying to sell you the Chanel 5, Good girl, Burberry for her generic type of scents (im a girl btw). It's annoying bc I like unique stuff and have most of what they are telling me about
Yeah they will always try to sell you what is popular :(
Music intros are back!
Usually, I'm not someone who wants an actual collection. I just want a few scents which I love, but I don't care if I have a fragrance for every situation.
However, there is one fragrance which definitely belongs in every collection in my opinion and it's bleu de chanel. I don't even really like this fragrance. It just smells like smoky showergel to me and I'm not a fan of both scents. BUT this perfume is so good for when I don't want to stand out. I wear it during work, or when I'm together with a group of friends where I don't know some of them well enough. I wear my signature scents the most of course, but I don't want to appeal special in every situation and this is where bleu de chanel is just perfect. Many people recognize it, many find it pleasant, and it's kind of the most casual thing to wear. This is the only fragrance which I consider a must have, even if you are not in love with it
Bleu de Chanel is a waste, totally overhyped and boring. I have the perfume. I get "not bad, not great" feedback from women for it. it is neither mysterious nor interesting. The quality is great, no doubt, but it is outdated. It smells like a high-quality version of a men's blue shower gel DNA or a blue men's deodorant for 2.99 € which people do smell every day for many years.
@@keep_walking_on_grass This is exactly my point. It's not special at all and that's why it's great. I can wear to my job, I can wear when I'm watching a lecture in my university or any scenario when I don't wanna smell special/off putting.
But please don't wear fragrances for womens reaction. I get dates for being a nice person and not for smelling like nobody else
@@floriank5675 Seems like a waste of money to buy a fragrance you don't like, just to leave people indifferent. At that point, might as well not wear any fragrance at all. There are a lot of inoffensive fragrances out there, you could at least find something you enjoy.
@@keep_walking_on_grass doesn't work that way mate. Remember fragrances are subjective. Just because it didn't work for you doesn't mean it's necessarily overhyped. I'm not a BDC fan too but i can appreciate the mass appeal that it has. It's a great versatile fragrance and I'd definitely suggest it to anyone. If they love it, then awesome and if they don't then all good. No harm no foul. Even Justin still gives recommendations on fragrances that didn't work out well for him.
@@LookingForAName... I mean I don't dislike. I wear it of for the sake of smelling pleasant and comfortable for my costumers or other strangers. On some days I just don't feel like smelling special and that's when I can use BDC. But no fragrance at all would be kinda weird for me at this point lol
You and Redolessence need to do a video collab bruh, I think that’d be something great for all to see. Great vid as usual and I need to sample Ganymede. Heard a lot of good things about it.
Thank you bro. I actually did a video with him a few years back:

Love/like your outro. It should become a word for word staple in each of your future videos. ✌️.
Thank you JD!
Hey Justin Copeland. Check out my reply on the issue of Quantity versus Quality from Willie Hall. Holla back with a response if you can, but if you're busy. Trust me, I truly understand. I like your cologne adventure anyway.
You can also go halfsies on a bottle of Creed with a friend :))
I Kid of course
Thanks for putting this together for
Haha! Thank you
Theres still a Portland, Oregon? I thought they burned that place to the ground 🤔😂
Still here.
Great video
Thank you bro
Hey JC
Nice video. Do u happen to have or know a discount code for Lucky Scent? Or can anyone else help? 👍👍
Unfortunately I don't!
Terre d'Hermes I don't think you were able to buy that with anything else with a budget of $250.00. oud is a animalic scent which is a popular or common in Arab and Asian countries. Scents are very specific to countries or regions.
Thanks for the video bro. What’s your views on Terre D’Hermes parfum for the summer? Yes or no? 👍🏾
I'd prefer the EDT or new Eau Givrée for Summer but I think it'd work just fine for the evenings.
At the current stage of my fragrance journey, I do hoarde... DECANTS 😅 So if I were so blessed to have 250usd to spend on fragrances, I'd probably spend 1/3 to 1/2 of that towards decants of fragrances that I have carefully researched, select my top picks, then troll a few trusted YT influencers' channels (like Justin's) for reviews, then pull the trigger on two, maybe three bottles... In the event that I don't love them, my local fragrance community is sure to snatch it up if I resell... But that's just me 😅
I am still on the hunt for a local decant of Nishane B-612, Scandal Pour Homme, and Ganymede. Everytime Justin mentions them, my hand itches 😅
Haha! Sorry for your itchy hand! 😆
I don’t know you, but I find some similarities between beach hut and sauvage elixir in the dry down, am I the only?
Hm...maybe slightly
Oud touch is unbelievably inexpensive.
1 or 2 frags.
I don’t think your thumbnail quite matches what you’re talking about but good video either way
I think it does just fine! But thank you very much
Was that drummer rushing or dragging?😜
Neither!
Would you rank Scandal Parfum Cologne over Scandal Parfum Pour Homme if you had to chose one, price excluded
I'd choose the Parfum!
That Calvin Klein Euphoria contains Oud. is the version without Oud the same, without Oud?
I'm not sure!
Justin, are you a Portland native or do you like to visit for shows?
I live in the Portland area
How to be honest with Yourself ? Trust yourself, your noise… go and smell
Are you playing some gigs in Portland this year?
Yes I am. Nothing super soon
@stayfreshproductions Let us know when you do. Love to come out to support your band and make it a date night. What's your bands name. I will keep a look out for your gigs.
Very good video. Mainstream Idea but with a very nice unique twist, really fun to watch. And yes if you allready have a decent collection, then why buy a bunch of throw-away-scents. That doesn‘t add any value in my opinion.
Is gents scents your drummer?
Nope

I presume that winning a prize and contact you in Telegram is a scam ❓
Definitely!
