CG I was devastated when you deleted your old channels. So much wisdom and knowledge gone. But never forgotten, and we all learned so much from them. Totally understandable why you needed to shut it down. They served their purpose. It’s crazy, I JUST started getting into fragrances a few months ago and just 10 minutes ago this video pops up in my suggested. Best of both worlds, a new informative fragrance UA-camr with great taste that just so happens to be my favorite UA-camr of all time. Thanks so much for coming back in this form, it’s so refreshing and makes me so happy. Best, -Bob Jenks
Yes, i also just got into frags, and i watched his old channel, at first i was like "this guy looks familiar" , then i renembered him, searched his old stuff but never found it, damn so much wisdom and things to learn from it, but i also understand why he deleted it.
Dude after only just discovering your content recently ive got to say i love your style. Im gonna enjoy sitting down and going through your full catalog.
Mate, I'm absolutely thrilled to see that you've started a fragrance channel! I was following your old channel for years, as I connected so much with your path, and wisdom you distilled from it - and now connecting through fragrances, it seems we have some similar taste (although yet to try most of those you mentioned). I very much appreciate how your creative explanatory abilities and authenticity, which I loved in your previous channel,has been very much carried over into this path. Looking forward to seeing more!
It’s polarizing some people hate it but I can’t see why at all I instantly LOVED it. It’s something so different and well done like a masculine woody gardenia. If you like that one you may also like Carnal Flower they’re cut from a similar fabric.
I died @ "put together goat in a suit and tie" the imagery sent me. Love the review bro, was subbed to your old channel and it's great seeing you in a better place
Thank you for sharing your favorites! Chez Bond gives me a similar feeling to GIT. I never smelled Nouveau Monde, but as soon as you mentioned barnyard vibe I thought of King Blue, which is a heavy oud amber fragrance I'd describe it in a similar fashion. And although it was hate at first sniff for me, I like it so much nowadays for the comforting feeling I get from it, I bought a full presentation.
I plan to review king blue for sure. That animalic smell is definitely an acquired taste I also get it from Oud attars which I now quite enjoy. I’m wondering if cumin will grow on me if I give it more chances it’s one of those masculine notes that I have struggled with in a similar fashion. I keep wearing overture man hoping I warm up to it because outside of that it’s perfect.
Nice video, great fragrance choices. I have a 28 bottle collection and my top 7 in my collection would be (no particular order): -Tom Ford Noir Extreme Parfum -Creed Aventus Cologne -Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme -PDM Layton Exclusif -Bleu De Chanel Parfum -Creed Green Irish Tweed -Versace Dylan Blue
great video. the vibe is killer with the piano and the women. that is pretty clever cg it makes you feel like youre in a dark classy bar sipping gin or something
Just discovered your channel. Welcome to the fragrance reviewers world. You already have such a wide ranging collection that it will be nice to see how you develop your channel. Thanks for sharing.
I found ur chanel trough out searching Royal Oud by Creed and I subscribed immediately after realizing that you and I have the same taste at fragrances So happy to find u
I’m your newest subscriber after watching a few of your recent videos. I liked this one because it wasn’t just the same old hits, you definitely put your fingerprint on this list. I loved the honest explanations that were easily digestible, no hoity-toity niche fragrance snob terms. Be well and God bless, I’ll be watching you in the future!
Thank you man! I plan to put out lists periodically and make sure to put time into them. I started this channel to make reviews where I use layman terms and provide other sources of feedback because all the note listing went over my head. I also started because I felt UA-camrs do too many list they got a top 10 coming out daily. I just wanted to make solid well produced easy to follow reviews and periodically make lists that matter. Thank you for your kind words you let me know the vision I had is manifesting into my work!
@@CgScents This is the second response I have gotten from you that is really detailed, well-thought out and above and beyond what I would expect from a UA-cam personality. Of course my comments were great (ha!), but thanks for taking the time and effort into your replies. That’s how you build a community of loyal reviewers whom respect your opinion, by giving them a piece of personal attention. God Bless and be well.
"Copper" by comme des garcons is similar to Royal Oud, it's got a certain roughness to it whereas royal oud comes off as a very smooth blend. Give it a try!
from the way you talk, it sounds like you know a lot about fragrances :o lots of bangers in your honourable mentions section. gonna have to look into a lot of those :o
I had 16C01 in the past. GIT is a huge favorite for me along with Amouage King Blue which I discovered after making this video. I like animalics done well.
Gucci intense oud is amazing I learned this fragrance from you As u said its from a popular brand but no one knows it Its definitely my top 5 hope its goes that way
Just subscribed. My top list Le Lion by Chanel Dior Homme Parfum Imagination by Louis Vuitton Babycat by YSL Interlude Black Iris by Amouage Royal Oud by Creed Reflection 45 by Amouage Habit Rouge Rouge Prive by Guerlain Rosendo Mateu No7 Cheers
Nothing I can really think of. I’ve heard of people having good experiences with Armaf Tres Nuit but I’ve never tried it. Davidoff Coolwater has a similar feel but isn’t nearly as immersive.
There’s some cheaper ones in there the Bentley Absolute is $30 and Moustache EDP is about the same. Bentley Absolute smells like a very unique cedar wood prominent scent it’s very similar to the discontinued Gucci Pour Homme I I consider both amazing. If you ever stumble on YSL Tuxedo on your outings it’s very similar to Moustache EDP and both are incredible.
It’s slightly feminine I just ignore that and I believe most people don’t think that it smells feminine when hit with it in the air. Just smells fantastic and is the strongest freshie I own. I got a 2022 but would also love a vintage if it’s any stronger it would be too much lol.
It’s clean to me I don’t know what old people smell like but I’ve never felt himalaya was particularly vintage in its profile. Bois Du Portugal, royal Oud, GIT are vintage but I like those too. I guess what other people associate with ‘old man’ and have a negative correlation mine is more positive because I think of those scents as classy and masculine. I don’t really care what other people think about me when I wear a fougere I enjoy them. If someone goes around sniffing people and judging them for smelling ‘old’ I care even less what they think 😅. Honestly quite pathetic and they’d prolly judge me for a thousand other reasons. I see no reason to care and if it bothers them then good lol they can be mad. However, I respect other people do care and fougeres aren’t for everyone. That being said, I don’t think many people would interpret Himalaya as a fougere. I like Himalaya because it’s clean, versatile, and very wearable while retaining depth. Himalaya is rumored to be Michael Jordan’s signature scent, I don’t know if that’s true, but I feel it’s a very sporty light profile so it wouldn’t surprise me.
Bros honorable mentions was the entire collection
😂😂😂😂 I thought the same
Facts 😆
Bros honorable mentions went crazy 🔥🤣
The honorable mentions were actually better than the list itself

Thank you so much! I’m glad we meet again it’s been a real blast creating these videos the subject matter is a lot less heavy.
I’m glad you mentioned Creed’s Royal Mayfare as it’s such a beautiful fragrance. You don’t hear much about it but its blend is amazing.
It’s polarizing some people hate it but I can’t see why at all I instantly LOVED it. It’s something so different and well done like a masculine woody gardenia. If you like that one you may also like Carnal Flower they’re cut from a similar fabric.

I’ll have to get my nose on Carnal Flower. Thanks for sharing. Truly enjoy your channel btw.

Please make more of these. This is excellent!
And youre absolutely right about gucci intense oud
My favorite fragrance channel. The only one subscribed to. I knew i had to after watching that Creed GIT review. Kudos to you man. I like your style 🤟
Amazing selections. The Noir and GIT are also my two fragrances for life 🤝
We need a extend review of musc ravageur
The reviewer comes across as someone who is ultra passionate about perfumery...just brilliant picks and summation! Keep it up! Love the chanel...

FM is his own category, perfumes that act like symphonys.
Btw what other channel? Your face looks kinda familiar.
Creen Royal Oud is on another level of me
Good selection 😮
Do you have another channel too?! That play button
I operated one in the past called ‘Cg Kid’ it’s sort of a long story it had 360K subs and dealt with drug education it don’t exist no more.
@@CgScentsBro, u looked so familiar. I didn’t know you were in to fragrance as well.

smelled musc ravageur last week, holy fuck moly
Nice list
Great editing. Great video I just Subscriber
loved the video. Going to find a bottle of intense oud
Musc Ravageur is goated
Anything that smells like Green Irish Tweed from the designer side? It's too expensive for me.
Nothing I can really think of. I’ve heard of people having good experiences with Armaf Tres Nuit but I’ve never tried it. Davidoff Coolwater has a similar feel but isn’t nearly as immersive.
Bangerss🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man you have good ones.....I can't afford any of them but hopeful wishing, i go to dillards and just smell them, I have tommy Hilfiger edt
There’s some cheaper ones in there the Bentley Absolute is $30 and Moustache EDP is about the same. Bentley Absolute smells like a very unique cedar wood prominent scent it’s very similar to the discontinued Gucci Pour Homme I I consider both amazing. If you ever stumble on YSL Tuxedo on your outings it’s very similar to Moustache EDP and both are incredible.
what camera are you using?
Panasonic GH5 with a LUMIX 14mm F2.5 filmed at 4K 60FPS 8-bit. The microphone is a Rode NTG4 hooked to a Focusrite Scarlet Solo recorded into Ableton.
Carnal Flower is just another level, a little too feminine but still, the quality is superb. i want a vintage bottle.
It’s slightly feminine I just ignore that and I believe most people don’t think that it smells feminine when hit with it in the air. Just smells fantastic and is the strongest freshie I own. I got a 2022 but would also love a vintage if it’s any stronger it would be too much lol.
Try ATH brother , guapo is of the chain , and all are beast mode hes does it different brother
Where did you get that light up sign on the wall from?
It’s a nanoleaf shape I got it at Best Buy
Good choices but they were all really pricey. 💰
Great list. Have 90% of these but it was entertaining watching you talk about them #NewSub
Himalaya straight smells like an old man what do you like about it?
It’s clean to me I don’t know what old people smell like but I’ve never felt himalaya was particularly vintage in its profile. Bois Du Portugal, royal Oud, GIT are vintage but I like those too. I guess what other people associate with ‘old man’ and have a negative correlation mine is more positive because I think of those scents as classy and masculine.
I don’t really care what other people think about me when I wear a fougere I enjoy them. If someone goes around sniffing people and judging them for smelling ‘old’ I care even less what they think 😅. Honestly quite pathetic and they’d prolly judge me for a thousand other reasons. I see no reason to care and if it bothers them then good lol they can be mad. However, I respect other people do care and fougeres aren’t for everyone.
That being said, I don’t think many people would interpret Himalaya as a fougere. I like Himalaya because it’s clean, versatile, and very wearable while retaining depth. Himalaya is rumored to be Michael Jordan’s signature scent, I don’t know if that’s true, but I feel it’s a very sporty light profile so it wouldn’t surprise me.
🔥🚒 videos
since when did this guy get that collection???
REEEEEE!!!!
Dude had like 20 Honorable mentions, wtf? 😂😂😂😂😂. Just do another video
I’m indecisive 😅
❤❤😊
I'm surprised Vibrato wasn't on this list...
@@jdmatthews7639 I discovered that after filming this it’s definitely a great one my favorite citrus
@@CgScentsgood looks, ya definitely a great one I agree!
Is this the drug addict that went clean? Looks very familiar
That’s me ‘Cg Kid’
@@CgScents nice man. Way to see you doing good. Although this might be an even more expensive hobby 😂
Btw, Nouveau is pronounced New-vo
Intense oud is wonderful but the performance is so underwhelming
Honorable mentions..... The full collection🤦🏻♂️
