Totally agree! I loved this video and it was super informative! I love the history the practice and the different fragrances that you can smell them in. Super great info as always and really fun video! Thank you.
@@sebastienc.2257 I absolutely love One Million. I can't explain why, but I love the scent! It says on Fragrantica it has solar notes and I thought that was just a fancy way of saying "it smells like the beach" because I believe the perfumer who made it was inspired by a leather bag and spiller suntan lotion? But now that I know the chemical name, I am going to order it and try to pick it out from what you mentioned, as well as One Million. Thanks!
I have been obsessively watching fragrance videos for the past three months. (I had no idea fragrance channels were a thing.). This video is awesome. The nerd in me loves to learn about the different fragrance notes, as well as the history of fragrance. So, I guess I have some shopping to do to discover what the original notes are. I don’t know why I didn’t think about that before.🤦🏾♀️
Hi Omar, Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I'm interested in getting to know fragrances compositions and how each ingredient affects the final product based on how much or little you add to it. Looking forward to more quality content from you!
Every single fragrance I own I’ve watched several reviews of while wearing the fragrance. The majority of samples I’ve worn I’ve watched reviews while wearing and looked up fragrantica notes in an attempt to know what I was smelling. I’ve been to the craft stores and places that sell essential oils and smelled individual oils to further familiarize myself with notes. Even smelling in the spice isle at the grocery can be beneficial. It took me months to identify cardamom in a fragrance after smelling it every time I went to the grocery store
Hey man! You are so intelligent and educated! I learned so much from you and I am very interested in the stories and history you shared. I was truly amazed at the depth of the perfume world!! This was an incredible video!!! Do musk, mountain air, and coriander next please
This is so helpful..I'm really into perfume. Between videos like this n fragrantica I am learning so much. I've been able to learn what notes in attracted to .which makes me more comfortable with blind buys😊
i subscribed last year in '22 - but i thought this type of video - a teacher with experience and knowledge - explaining notes - inside the school of scent - would have been a solid subset series - inside your own channel - you have a calm voice that is good for breakdowns , it's not ego driven like you know who LOL - and i really think this is a good video for old and new fragrance heads alike. i think you should expand your thought process on this one - because its not what anyone else is doing. class is in session !
I love the way you make these videos. The combinations of animations and your knowledge about the topics you speak is very interesting and entertaining. Keep going bro! 💪🏼
I’ve always wondered how fragrance enthusiasts become proficient in picking out individual notes from full fragrances. I would like to smell single note ingredients at some point so I can be better at identifying notes.
ive noticed that it also depends on the fragrance and how its blended. for some i can distinguish pretty much every note or accord individually, while on others i can only describe its profile, for example sweet, fresh, dark etc. I looked up some fragrances that are particularly strong on a certain note and thats how im familiarizing myself with them.
I'm not an expert on fragrance, but I took culinary classes were we had to identify finely chopped or grounded herbs and spices. And then, I started watching Aaron Terrence Hughes. So my mind went, "I got it, so now I'm able to identify notes in perfumery".
Great video and content Omar. Love to learn about notes and the history behind it. Houbigant Fougère Royal does smell old school indeed, but to me personaly not outdated. It's one of my signature scents. 😉
My last post. I personally don't typically like animalic smells. Ambergris is whale poop and that is typically not my thing. It's why, when it dries down, I don't like Cool Water or it's cousin Green Irish Tweed. Ceivit is even worse. However like with everything in perfumery it depends there are different kinds of every scent. Some can be sweeter, more or less animalic, clean or dirty, and so on. Oud is.a great example of this. Also the combination of notes and the percentage of any note can make any perfume with the ingredients (I typically don't like) smell wonderful.
I used to use patchouli oil all of the time. It smells amazing. I recommend smelling pure patchouli oil, and other fragrance oils to get a better idea of what each scent adds to the parfum.
Thank you Dr Omar for this very interesting and long awaited video. I hope to see more of you in this kind of videos. We hope see you explore more interesting notes in Perfumery. This is one idea that can glue me to this channel more. Wish you success in your business endeavors. Thanks. 👍
Yesterday you answered me that civet can smell fecal and sweet and I think you’re utterly right. Civet is not listed as note in my perfume but as you said today, it’s used to ample or to give radiance to the flowers notes and that it’s how I exactly experienced that perfume. But to be honest, the animalic touch is not well balanced. I can’t deal with the fecal scent ☹️
This! Great job on this video! I like that you actually experiment with raw materials. I've been thinking about getting some of the main ones myself just to get to recognize them.
This was helpful. Thanks. You picked a few I wanted to learn about. Was curious about Vetiver too. Recently purchased it. That's also a very unique experience. More people should try it.
@@wecanjump7512 You're right. It took me a couple of weeks to appreciate it. I prefer essential oils or attars though. The one i bought was pure vetiver extract. And it smells like wilderness.
There's this really inexpensive scent known as Bogart Pour Homme. It's a lavender based perfume and is so underrated. I think you should review it as well!!
Fantastic video. I with you do more stuff like this. I am fascinated about perfumery from the chemical side so much. Cheers! Kouros is my life must-have.. Regarding Aventus, which I was never a fan of to be honest, today contains definitely more synthetics and Ambroxan I guess. Regarding notes, I love vetiver very much too. The smell is particularly gorgeous in my opinion, I own a 'vetiver like' compound at home. This is vetiveryl acetate. It is lacking of richness but owns the slightly earthy smokiness of the vetiver. To my nose, it is used in big amounts in Encre Noire line by Lalique.
@@santiagoromero3475 Yeah it’s Rain by Clean from their Classic line! It’s not super strong, but when it’s hot out I try to keep my fragrances light anyway.
I looooooove calone. I can never find a calone fragrance that is sweet and femenine that doesn't have musk or powdery notes. If you have any recommendations I would appreciate it.
Very interesting video, i listen everyday talking about notes of the fragances but some of them i just have no idea. I bought a decant of Aventus and for me, it was a little bit of disappointment. I will try other Creed fragances to compare! Thank u for your professional videos!!
I do like your current style but you have a similar jaw to me and I found that when I shaved facial hair on the side and kept the goatee or facial hair in the middle long it elongated my face a bit and made me appear a lot better. Love your channel man just thought I’d give you the idea. 🤝
Thank you for all the educational content - it's so beneficial to be able to recognize individual notes. I'm late to this video, but would really like to know what note may be pulling celery on my skin? There's a couple fragrances I'm struggling with - LeLabo Another 13 is perfect example of celery on me. Just would like to identify what notes to possibly avoid. Really love your content- looking forward to trying your fragrance line!!
Good job.....lots of good info for sure...I'd skip the 'gee-wiz lets not hurt animals' bit. It's 2023 and I'm thinking most folks feel the same way...but that's just me.
Great video idea! My favorite over the last week. I’d love some combination note videos. Why do I really like Layton or Torino 21? What is combining in Layton to tickle my brain? Good stuff
Learning what notes works with your body chemistry will save time. I know tobacco, ambergris, tonka beans (which scents varies and tobacco almond is one of them) and tuberose are not for me at all😬
I recommend anyone interested perfume to wear Coromandel at least once, not just test, wear for a full day. One of the more interesting experiences of a slowly evolving scent that is strong and lasts 12+.
I was worried ATH’s Tobacco Oud & Vanilla got discontinued. It was until recently I found it only had a name change. I still have my 10 ml I bought when it was first released, it’s definitely my favorite from his brand.
Hey Omar, great video. I'd like to watch a note breakdown of violet leaves, and their supposedly "gasoline-y" smell. I have Fahrenheit Parfum and EDT, and I don't necessarily find it in there, but I'd be interested in more information.
Hi Omar where do you buy your Oils to learn you Notes because all Oils do not Smell the Same. I love Patchouly it may be strong, but I love it., Can this be your Part 2, thanks I see the Oils Names, thanks for sharing 2-3-2023👍🏽❤️
I recently realised all the fragrances in my collection I don't really like contain patchouli. Most of them I enjoy overall, but all have an overpowering medicinal sweet note I can't stand. I guess it's just oversensitivity or a certain type cause there are loads of patchouli fragances I own and love.
1:39 - Geranium - Less feminine Rose
4:35 - Patchouli - Earthy, Green, Sweet & Dark
8:07 - Calone - Oceanic, Watermelon & Cucumber
11:32 - Ambergris - Sharp, Clean & Musky
14:56 - Civet - Fecal but adds warmth & Sweetness when diluted
I’d love more videos about notes. I find the topic of fragrance notes to be super interesting😄
Same here
Totally agree! I loved this video and it was super informative! I love the history the practice and the different fragrances that you can smell them in. Super great info as always and really fun video! Thank you.
Me too
I’d love more of this there’s a lot of notes I can’t wrap my head around like musk, amberwood, or coumarin
My favorite fragrance note has got to be "solar notes" lmfao like how? Did the smell-o-scope from Futurama get invented irl?
Benzyl Salicylate 👀
Balade Sauvage has both Solar and Pebble notes lol
Solar notes sounds crazy but things do smell a particular way on a hot sunny day. I feel like Chanel 1957 captures that scent along with florals
@@sebastienc.2257 I absolutely love One Million. I can't explain why, but I love the scent!

@@SchoolOfScent thank you, I'm anxious to huff some of that!
I would love to see this turn into a larger series! Maybe even something like your favorite scent combos?

You sound exactly like but I've been going through. Cheers.
You're not alone 😅
My favorite note is Iris. I love the clean powdery smell of the note.
agree, a beautiful smell

Thanks for the video. There are so many Frag reviews on UA-cam. I like getting some of the nuts and bolts of perfumery.

Smelling a variety of fragrances that share a note in common helps me understand what that note smells like individually
Great video and content Omar. Love to learn about notes and the history behind it.
Houbigant Fougère Royal does smell old school indeed, but to me personaly not outdated. It's one of my signature scents. 😉
I like your explanation of patchouli and animatic notes! Very educational
More than your knowledge of scents, I really appreciate your concern for animals and animal welfare.
Omar knocked it out of the park with this video. Awesome video, sir!
Thank you for this! I’m getting into fragrances and trying to understand what notes I like so when I buy perfumes I chose ones I will actually like
Everybody needs to try Azzaro the most wanted edp and Burberry London for winter. This layering smells unbelievable.
Great episode! Please do some more! I enjoyed a lot woody notes and amber,, perhaps one more episode about these ingredients?
Thank you for this sir, lovely visuals. I have been in the collectors game for over two decades and still learn from you.

Just subscribed to this channel today, loving this content and the professionalism and seriousness towards the fragrance scene
Loved this video! Please make more videos explaining the main notes. Awesome!!
Great stuff, Petrichor would also be of interest to some viewers mostly because it's a familiar smell but with an obscure name
Absolutely, great suggestion
I love petrichor smell!!
I have a perfume that smells like a sweet, floral petrichor and it is so beautiful on hot days!
@@meganbrennan454 could you share the name? sounds interesting!

You and 3 billion teenagers love it!
Oh yes, please do keep making these!
Great Video, Informative….keep up the good work 👍🏼
Great video. Was thinking about this while looking at body washes online.
Kouros is Masterpiece! Very Unisex in my eyes !

Brilliant absorbing commentary.
Awesome video I would definitely enjoy more of this kind of content.
Bois Du Portugal, Fougere Royale and Viking are Kings on the market, Kings created for Kings to wear! :D
Good job.....lots of good info for sure...I'd skip the 'gee-wiz lets not hurt animals' bit. It's 2023 and I'm thinking most folks feel the same way...but that's just me.
Extremely original and helpful. Thanks!
Just the best videos, so educational
You HAVE to make a part 2 . There are still a LOT of notes I have never smelled.
Tonka Bean , Solan Notes , Ylang Lang ...
We did make a part 2 👀
Yes please, this was very informative. More please.
Educational is the word thanks I learned alot

All late but your videos are really professional and useful
This good and very Interested Thanks man
i'm sure this would be impossible but i'd love to see a more comprehensive video like this
Great video and educational.
Oh I loved NewWest !
I fell in love with ambergris when I started wearing BR540. It reminds me of crisp clear glass. Slightly anamalic and so unusual.
BR seems more like Ambroxan than Ambergris?
Great video!
Amber is my favorite
Thanks for it! What about mineral note?! Tks
I really appreciate you, Fragrance Tate
🥰
Great topic!!
awesome video, very interesting 👌🏻
Very interesting. I wold love to see other videos of this type.
What perfume oils do you use?
Been looking for a nice perfume note kit that doesn’t break the bank.
Very good episode Omar 👏
Thanks Tamer 😊
