Ok. BEFORE you hit that dislike button because I don't love your favorite fragrance, hear me out. 😎
No fragrance is perfect, and no fragrance can be loved by everyone. So therefore, I don't believe that hyping a fragrance is ever warranted...someone will always be disappointed. HOWEVER, this is not to say that you shouldn't love what you love.
Subjectivity is both the bane and the beauty of being a fragrance lover. Two people might experience a fragrance in completely contrasting ways, which is incredible. A fragrance might move you to the moon while it moves someone else to the toilet, which is also incredible. Embrace this! Don't be perturbed by someone not liking what you like. It doesn't need to change a thing. Be the you-est you that you can be!

"You shouldn't care if I don't like what you like." Amen! The fact that we all have different tastes is what makes this hobby so fun. Great video, Justin.
Facts
Thanks Yve! That idea always feels like common sense to me, but it’s not so common! And I couldn’t agree with you more.
@@stayfreshproductions hey Justin, great content. Will u be getting rid of your Carlisle by any chance?
@@BBrown-km5mi I’m gonna hold on to it! Like I said, wanna try it out in the winter.
Absolutely 💯!!! Variety is the spice of life. Everyone is entitled to their tastes.
Never giving up La Nuit de L'Homme. Its what I wear after work/working out when I'm not going out afterwards. Gets me relaxed and ready to wind down.
I agree very relaxing fragrance. Love it still in 2023. Its weaker now but still worth it.
Bentley for men intense is in my top 5 all time..I can't even tell you how much I love it, 100% my style
I had similar feelings for Bentley Intense, found it unpleasant, particularly in the opening. An alternative I like a whole lot more is Azzaro pour Homme Intense EDP (2015) which is underrated in comparison!
Man…you could be a professor on the subject of fragrances. Gonna have to remember some of these alts. Hope your week is going well! Thankful for your positivity and kindness bro.
Thank you Tony!! :)
@@stayfreshproductions Is that Night in Tunisia you played in the intro? Well done.
Bentley for men intense is so good gets me so many compliments I love it
as if
The one compliment I got wearing a fragrance in a place where everyone was wearing a mask was Bentley Intense
My man! I agree, new LNdL 2021 is over hyped, but the OG (2009) was great. LNdL Bleu Electrique is like the 2009 OG LNdL mixed with 10% LNdL Frozen Cologne. It's amazing. Has 9 hours of longevity on my skin and the smell... 10/10. Love your content, dude. Subscribed.
I’m gonna check it out
Bleu Electrique is better than I ever imagined
I thought people were exaggerating, damn near the same smell. I got the 2 oz for $38
@@teejay5516 how'd you get it for that price? It's like 70 retail
@@zerofallen059 i think they got it from a macys or belk sale, maybe sephora or ulta
The last few weeks I have really started to enjoy Justin's content a lot more. You re coming across as very happy and content in your own skin. Also loving the crossovers with the music.
I don't know what's up but long may it continue!
Thank you Mansoor!
Curaçao Bay is amazing, but Vers Le Sud is my favourite from the line.
Great list and concept! Some of the overhyped ones I do love (Bentley Intense and La Nuit especially) but would love to give the alternatives a try. Wouldn't mind a part 2 of this down the line.
Thank you! Part 2 will come!
Nice opening with Diz, Night in Tunisia! Love the editing so you can play multiple parts...great sound and vibe. And fantastic topic for the video. Good one!
Thanks Scott!
I share the same sentiments with 4 out of your 5 picks. In my opinion, Bentley Intense is a magician in the winter. Whether u want attention or compliments, it's there in this one.
I have Herod, it's a better performer
Couldn’t agree with you more shellroc21 , Bentley Intense at it’s price point is hard to beat by any fragrance 👍🏻
I never comment on your videos but I just wanted to let you know real quick that I think you are the best fragrance channel of all the channels that I am subscribed to. You know what you’re talking about and you are very nice to listen to, as you have a great way of speaking. Keep up the good work 🤙🏼
That means the world to me! Thank you.
Blind bought Bentley intense based off hype, thought it smelled too mature so I gave it my dad. Smelled it when he was wearing it one day and thought it was really good. Guess it’s just more suited for the older man
I read a review that said it smelled like an old fart
The hype was always about the intense version but the og bentley for men is so much better and much more wearable throughout the year. And it also still has plenty of power to last.
It's definitely for older distinguish men I own a bottle and I do love it
I did that same thing with sauvage edt cause that shit smelled bad but the parfum smells great to me
Yep a CLASSIC! Night in Tunisia ! Since I am a vocal guy I heard this in high school performed by the Manhattan Transfer! Dizzy and Charlie Parker.Good Choice!
Awesome!! Thanks Carl!
I’ve gotten so many compliments from Bentley intense
Forget the fragrances, EVERYTHING else you said in this video was way more important. You said it great!!! More people need that advice that you gave.
Thanks Jason!
La Nuit De Lhomme is one of the best mens fragrances ever created. Its mass appealing and brings lots of compliments. I wear it for every occasion in the fall and winter to this day in 2023. Good video Justin.
Bentley, you just shattered my heart 🤣🤣🤣
Love what you love!
Its amazing just how much goes into shaping our perception and subjectivity. We could smell the exact same thing from the same bottle and it can be perceived differently.
Exactly! It's beautiful.
Bentley intense is something I will never understand lol
I want to get it because I hear amazing reviews,however, it seems like it might smell bad to be honest. Do you own it? Should I buy it?
@@dylancarl1438 It smells bad, yeah. People say it smells "niche quality", yeah right, smells cheap and caustic to me. Nothing to do with age either - I'm over 30, and I absolutely hate this fragrance.
@@dylancarl1438it’s pretty good for the price tag. I’d get a sample online first before buying a bottle. Lalique is the house for Bentley and I have never gone wrong with their fragrances.
@@dylancarl1438 i was excited to get Bentley intense...i gave my bottle away, i hate it
It gets over hyped due to the cost. It does smell more expensive than discounted prices. Smells very mature and boozy and sweet. Are there other scents that do it better? Absolutely
I absolutely love the fact that he highlighted Carlisle. When I first smelled Carlisle it was like death. It has such an absurd opening and then the immediate drydown isn't any good either. I would also say Red Tobacco is the optimal appealing version of Carlisle.
I hope it changes for me!
Hello Justin, how are you? Nicely done!! I love how Bentley Man Intense smells in the air. People look for you when you wear it. I do dig Pasha Cartier!! Stay safe brother!
Thanks Greg! I'm so glad it works for you!
Over-hype: when something's hype doesn't match reality.
If something is hyped and lives up to it, then it's just credit where credit is due.
But that’s just the thing-even if it doesn’t match reality for you, it might match it for other people. It goes the other way too-something might live up to the hype for you, but the person next to you might find it mediocre.
@@stayfreshproductions Yeah, for sure. As an amateur DIY perfumer, I'm writing on that. Some genes enable people to smell certain molecules, like beta Ionone. Other genes affect how things smell, like cilantro. Even a person's individual memory associations can impact how something smells. Plus, skin chemistry affects fragrances on skin. Plus temperature and humidity.
However, I think there's a difference between saying "this is a fragrance I don't like or I felt didn't live up to the hype" versus saying:
"X is overrated/over hyped." The former is a statement about personal opinion. The latter indicates that the hype is objectively wrong or false or misleading, and that those perpetuating the hype are wrong.
It's a slight nuance thing. But why leave margin for error?
EDIT: Hype is a phenomenon a community creates, not an individual. In almost all cases. So dismissing the hype should usually be done through saying your opinion and the hype disagree, not saying the hype is exaggerated or incorrect.
They are hyped for a reason, same fragrance can be used with 100 people with 100 different personalities, people sweat differently, act differently, body scents are different. Not all the people like it, so it is just the personal preference.
Bingo!!👍👍
as a matter of fact Kouros has so many fans despite smelling like human excrements, but that's just because some nose can't detect all the notes.
Bentley intense was hyped by Jeremy fragrance so much a few years back along with Mont Blanc individual. So whatever Jeremy hyped the other reviewers at the time were hyping and reviewing everything they saw him doing. It was only a few reviewers that we’re doing their own thing at that time. The majority of them were on jeremy’s 🥜.
I own it and like it. Its def not designer or mass appealing but its a vibe.
❗💀❗💯🎯
Yup. Jeremy is a weirdo sociopath. Justin is KING.
He also hyped La Nuit De L'Homme, Ultra Male, etc.....waaaay more hype than Bentley Intense. People still on that dick it seems.
I used to look forward to Jeremy’s vlogs but he got religious and started acting like he’s on drugs or something so I stopped. The good thing is that I found Justin’s channel along with Ash, Dallas & Corbin !
HATED Bentley for men Intense. I let it macerate for a few months and came back to it. It’s one of my favorites now. It’s like a different scent.
Pasha de Cartier Parfums is one my all-time favs but so is Bentley Intense :)
Hey Walid, are they similar?
For tropical situations as mine (Brazil), can wear Bentley Intense only 45-60 in the year.
I was thinking of Pasha Parfum or Mustache EDP, looking for more versatility...
@@tarcisovillela6862 Pasha to my nose is heaven. I couldn't smell it when I first got it and posted a bad review. But after a few applications, it became evident this is one of the best scents I have in my collection. You see, Pasha is one of the first to start using a new molecule called Ambrocenide. My nose wasn't used to it but once it was, oh boy.
Pasha and Bentley intense don't smell alike at all.
@@walid7885 Thanks a lot, man.
I think I'll try it.
What about Mustache EDP?
Very curious about it...do you know?
@@tarcisovillela6862 Yes I have it, beautiful scent. I wasn't able to appreciate it fully, on me it last 15 minutes. It might be the same thing that happened to me with Pasha parfum. am planning on wearing it after the summer ends (which should be soon here In Canada).
@@walid7885 Thanks a lot, man!
All the best for you!
Excellent video! I’ve never smelled Bentley before ( never tried). I don’t see the hype around Encre Noir by Lalique. I purchased, sprayed once and gave it away. It was too much of something that didn’t agree with me.
I really like Encre Noir, but I can see why people find it hard to wear.
I have encre noir also and I love it. I think you have to like vetiver to really like it. Heavy on the vetiver
@@olakunleolafisoye8433 you are right, Molecule 03 is based upon vetiver; it was an olfactive assault for me.
@James Watts 😂😆
Loved this video, my friend. Great alternatives for those popular scents. Maybe a Part 2 is worth it with the likes of Sauvage, Bleu de Chanel, Versace Eros, etc.
I'm glad you're here, Justin. Thanks for linking to your brother's channel. Looks like we align in more ways than I first anticipated! God bless you my brother from another mother!
Thank you Kieron!
“And the melody still lingers on”… Dope! All we need is Chaka Khan (or Grace 😊) to do the vocals!
Yep! And Dizzy Gillespie's original is amazing too!
Great video with amazing substitutes for overhyped fragrances nowadays
Light blue intense reminds me being a kid and walking into Hollister and stores alike for the first time- I do believe light blue intense is worth the hype.
On the other hand, I believe that la nuit de lhomme is slightly overhyped. It reminds me of a sweeter version of f black and I like f black. I do enjoy la nuit but I feel like it's slightly overhyped
I felt a certain way about Carlisle when I first got it. But after macerating for a year, my thoughts changed and so did the scent. It's one of my favorites to wear out of my collection and gets noticed.
Finally someone that doesn't like Bently for men. I wore it and wasn't for me out off all the bottles I won about 200 the only one I got rid off within a week of owning it.
Love this video! With so many options and so many older colognes out there, this helps us try something else.
Thank you Jeff!
Funny enough the only major reformulation that happened to LNDL was like six months into its release. I had an original batch and it performs the same as it always has. The aftershave was stronger and more masculine than the original Edt. I hate when frags get hyped because it's always to make money. You can buy in bulk the initial batch of a perfume, wait for a refirnulation or two then release a video saying how the new batches just aren't as good as the old ones. Then you got $300 bottles of 2012 LNDL selling off your eBay store. Of course only the biggest influencers can do this. Youre one of the few I trust. I know a prick that hypes any new perfume up and directs you to his affiliate links to blind buy it.
Great list and I enjoyed it and I'm going to get and I'm going to get bottles of Bentley for men intense and PDM Carlisle and have a blessed day
Great to see you Michael.
It don't matter what I wear or how much it costs, because me being a member of the fresh squad, people are always blown away by my freshness no matter what I got on!
Yessir!!
video idea: Fragrances that would suit comic book heroes and villians according to their powers and personalities
I use my Bentley intense mixed with scent beads to freshen up the interior of my vehicle...along the lines of febreeze freshner💨☺
It actually is an excellent car freshener particularly if you have a leather interior.
I generally don't like many people.
I'll never know who Justin is as a person but a like him, i trust his advice and i get a sense that i can trust him.
I just wanted everyone to know.
Also Bentley intense for men is massively overrated and i wish i never purchased it .
Wow. I am honored to read this! Thank you
I got Carlisle recently and I’m loving it. Thankfully it doesn’t come off as bitter to me. The patchouli gives me a chocolate vibe which I love.
I just bought it too and every time I smell it I can’t believe how amazing it is!
@@christopherwible282 same! I think it’s become my favourite fragrance
I’m in and I watch most of your videos. I love this channel because this is the one place I hear about fragrances I otherwise wouldn’t have heard of. Is it a coincidence or do you, more often than not, prefer the pricier options?
Thank you! What I can say is that I prefer interesting scent profiles with good quality. That usually leans towards more expensive fragrances, but not every time.
I couldn’t agree more! It’s so important to find fragrances that you love for you! Although when a cousin of mine smelled my bottle of Xerjoff’s Renaissance and said it smelled like “an old lady” that stung a little😂😅
That hurts! XD
My things is designer u get what u pay for unless u go spend a lot more money the frangrance will be different
Great video concept bro and great list of alternatives as well!! I've been seeing Scotch Porter pop up a lot recently
SP is awesome! Thanks bro!
I know what you mean about Bentley. I blind bought it based on the hype. I don't mind it. I mean, it's ok.. on the dry down there is just something about it that I'm unsure about!
I think one of your greatest attributes is that you bring different fragrances to the table that not everybody talks about. Keep doing you man and I'll keep watching.
Thank you Shawn! I try!
Yeah iv never seen these before
I have to agree Carlisle isn’t me either. But I respect everyone’s opinion and right to think it’s an amazing fragrance
I like Carlisle too but I'm glad I sampled it first. Saw a lot of reviews about it on UA-cam and everyone raved about it. Really liked it but not full bottle worthy in my opinion. While I'm not saying it's a replacement, in my opinion a fragrance from PDM that I also sampled that I like better than Carlisle and that I practically have not heard anyone talk about it is Habdan. That one needs more love!
I need to try Habdan again!
Hi, Justin! Thank you for another great video:) I would like to thank you for all your work and effort that you put in your videos, i really do love them and honestly think that you deserve more viewers! i know that you’ll get even more appreciators and i wish you good luck with that 😉
Thank you so much! :)
I personally love LBEI, it gets the job done and I get compliments from wearing it all the time. Wouldn't say it's overhyped but I will say that it's a scent that people will lean towards because it's so easy to wear for just about everyone. Great video as usual!
lb intense is very overhyped.everyone talks about it for summer lists
@@marxman300 I don't think overhyped is the right term for it. Does it get used a lot, yes. Is it a bad fragrance, no. Overhyped means that the claims are exaggerated. It's been said to be a nice, clean, people pleasing scent and people smell it and think it's a nice, clean, pleasing scent. Like I said it gets the job done so I wouldn't say it's overhyped at all.
I agree with you with Bentley intense, how ever the regular Bentley for men is better as well as absolute and azure.
But JC you recommended Bentley Intense as a good cheapie...and I started to buy it.😂😂😂 I gotta lay off these overhyped fragrances and buy the ones I like. With all the recommendations/reviews in the UA-cam frag community, I’m suffering fragrance fatigue. As such, I’m in the process of simplifying my collection to just a few fragrances. As much as I love blue fragrances, I find it redundant to have 10 bottles of blue juice with similar note breakdowns. I just want a few fragrances that I enjoy wearing without being influenced by the opinions of others. That’s no diss to you...it’s stay fresh for life. ✌🏾
I’ve never recommended Bentley Intense! Haha because I’ve never liked it. And I haven’t had the bottle for several years now. I feel you on the simplification front! Nothing wrong with that.
I agree, bentley Intense is a bit unpleasant in the drydown. I can't convince myself to like it. It reminds me of the inside of a 1980s limousine, ashtray, booze and heavy leather. Seems very dated to me.
That's probably the best description I've ever read on it.
Great topic
My dear JC …. I’m very happy also to be part of the FreshSquad 😉👍🏼
Yes you are! :)
Of course there are always going to be overhyped fragrances. Every adult has that little kid t in them that gets so excited when they find that new toy they love so much and they just can’t wait to tell everyone. It’s worse when dealing with something that can capture your personality or connect you to a memory, which fragrances do. Great list and I agree with most of your picks here.
I Love Light Blue Intense and I find it very unique because its aquatic BUT Musky, very hard to find perfumes that are aquatic and musky at the same time, they are mostly freshy aquatic fruity scent. And the musk makes it masculine and versatile, not just an everyday day light or gym fragrance imo
I agree on Bentley intense. When i put it on the first time, I wanted to wash it off. Way too smokey!!! Smelled like something was on fire and not in a good way. Was confused about the hype.
Bentley for Men EDT is much more likeable than the Intense IMO... Feels like the Intense is "trying too hard".... And a plus to that is that the people who like the Intense will also like the EDT, but I would not say that goes the other way around
100% agree on Carlisle and the Argos recommendation. Triumph of Bacchus is currently my favorite tobacco fragrance.
Interesting Topic...Another 🔥🔥🔥 Video Justin 🙏
Thank you brotha!
I love the African style background music, good content as always Justine, keep it up 👍🏼
Thank you Suleiman! I hope you're well!
Maison Francis Kurkdjion belong in this line up too right next to Xerjoff frags.
I’m with you on Bentley intense. I don’t know if I have a bad batch but this smells awful. And I like masculine fragrances. But this....nope.
Maison Martin Margiela Music Festival is the best version of the Bentley for Men Intense DNA in my opinion and it never gets mentioned in the conversation.
Also thanks for mentioning Light Blue Intense, I never dug that one all that much either, the original is better. All love, can't wait to try Brass & Soul!
I literally ordered music festival last night on a whim and it's one of the few of theirs i do not own.... Is the cannabis/hashish note in it too obvious I wonder?
@@Safefragrance not at all. I was a bit worried as well, but it follows a lot of the same MMM earthy/patchouli vibe as most of the other darker Replica lines. Sparkles in the opening and gets powdery and sweeter in the drydown. Nothing super dank or fresh-weedy though, if anything, it's a faint earthy/sulphuric patchouli. I'm willing to bet it's safe enough for Safe Nate
I think Jazz Club would be a good choice as well to Bentley, the performance may not be the same but I think that's a good thing since it's basically a casual night out scent that I'd wear to a chill party that I'd be at for only a few hours. On a side note, been also loving Coffee Break.
@@harrywillman8456 ah thanks for such a good note breakdown buddy... My favourites of the house has to be by the fireplace and at the barbers... And don't let my name fool you...i will go pretty brave and ballsy with my scents. 🙌😉😂... Like the new one from zaharoff called the siren... Man that is such a good scent... Also ha e you tried fly away by Thierry mugler... The annoyingly trendy two note accords of grapefruit and cannabis...it surprised me how nicely blended it was with the grapefruit popping off of something that again smells more hemp and plant like than cannabis...has been a good summer compliment fragrance so far...
I hope you'll enjoy Brass & Soul!
You’re not alone on that Bentley Intense for man, I don”t like it either. It does something to my nose. I was like “why people like this” lol
Lol!
I made a blind by for Bentley Intense after purchasing Mercedes Benz Black. I figured it Black was fantastic so all the hype around Bentley should be at least equal. I was WRONG wrong. I plan on keeping it (along with PdM Carlisle which I have the same issues with) but I may gift it if I don't use it at the end of the year.
Bruh i bought them at the same time blind buy because of the hype, love the mercedes, the bentley not that much. Cool coïncidence.
You’re the best in the biz baby. Love the vid. ❤️
🥰❤️
I have a new bottle of La Nuit de L'Homme, and it has received nothing but praise from everyone I've had smell it. If you're curious about the stuff, I'll vouch for what Justin said here. Just get a new batch and enjoy a lovely fragrance.
Nice!
Love that you are talking about things you dislike. I find it interesting because it's gives more color to me as a viewer about your tastes. Although sad to see Carlisle on you list :(. Definitely my fav frag so far out of the ones I have tried. Although first times I tried it especially first time I remember it being waaay to harsh (I gave it like a 3/10). I think it was the opoponax for me because the harshness reminded me of the OG Interlude from Amouage which also has opoponax. But after a short while I started to adore it and now it's a solid 10/10 for me.
Anyway I love your content, always put a smile on my face when I see your videos popping up in my feed.
Thank you Tarik!! I will try Carlisle again in the Winter.
Bentley intense smells EXACTLY like the head of an expensive rum. While matching that is impressive in and of itself, I don’t want to smell like a drunk middle aged man.🤷🏻♂️
Lol!!
Great videos, bro. Love your honesty.
Thank you.
Dolce and gabbana light blue intense is my most complimented fragrance it's perfect last 9 hours on my skin
Very nice!
I feel that Thierry Mugler Pure Malt and Ultra Zest are both extremely overhyped. Pure Malt smells like plastic on the dry down to my nose and Ultra Zest is basically Pure Malt with creamy citrus on top. Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Intense is a little off putting up close, but from my experience its a compliment monster in the air. Great video JC and I'll be looking forward to sampling some of these alternatives
Thank you David! Pure Malt used to be great but the reformulations definitely give it that plastic vibe.
That intro Doc just wow,great vid,, aroma from heaven
Thank you!
This waa my first time watching a video from you, and once you mentioned Pasha de Cartier I had to follow you. One of my favorites that I own, great choice. Dont give away all of my secret favorites thou.
Haha! Thank you Chris.
Do you have a video that goes over what colognes are compatible to what seasons? I’m brand new to this and was wondering what I should look into depending on the weather.
I'm really happy to be here too #freshsquad
Great to have you bro!
Bentley Intense is definitely over-hyped, but I still love it. It is hard to wear, though...
Super duper loud and in-your-face.
I'm glad you love it!
Love your la nuit alternative.... One that is also in the same ballpark is trussardi riflesso
I agree with Bentley intense. It was my first fragrance in the game. But just didn't find myself wearing/loving it. Pasha de Cartier is fabulous though.
Pasha is beautiful!
The Bentley is rare around my way. It’s a car scent. Better by far than the scent for cars. However I wear it for me.
yeah, i bought a second bottle of La Nuit ... I have 2015 and 2020 .... it is a bit lighter but still ... i love it because it´s soft and smooth, nonoffensive ....
I dig it, Miloš!
Nice list and nice alternatives! I also don’t understand the hype around Bentley Men Intense (synthetic sweet and harsh) and D&G Light Blue Intense. I am curious to try the alternatives mentioned! I don’t know Pasha de Cartier Parfum and Jacques Fath Curaçao bay, but do know that I love the original “Chambre Noire” it’s so smooth and sexy! Have you tried it? For D&G: Heeley Sel Marin or Bvlgari Aqva Marine are way better!
Thank you Jesper! Chambre Noir is really nice!
Thanks again Mr. Copeland I do agree with you on the Bentley Intense, one wearing and haven't touched it or even considered it for many months. Yes, all of our preferences are truly subjective so let's all enjoy what we enjoy, peace!
Thank you Charles!
Carlisle?!! Beautiful juice
I'm glad you dig it!
Nice review Justin...
Thanks Terry!
@@stayfreshproductions Your welcome Justin!
I respect you for the video, you got me at Bentley.. focking hate that shoot...
I can’t wear Light Blue Eau Intense. The saltiness is just too much and it makes me feel sweaty and unclean. Ultra Male is so sweet it almost doesn’t smell like a fragrance you’re supposed to wear. You’d probably get the same effect rubbing a wet Blow Pop on your pulse points.
Lol!
New to this channel but I am impressed with a Justin’s knowledge of fragrances. I look forward to catching up with more fragrance reviews! Great job Justin!
Thank you so much, John!! Welcome!
I love Bentley for Men Intense, but it reminds me of another one that is discontinued, Lubin Idole edt. With that said your replacement is awesome. I started to get that, but felt like you when comparing it to Bentley. It would be redundant to me. Great video and you have great taste in fragrances.
Thanks Tyran! I still gotta try Idole.
I think you will like that better than Bentley. I had a couple coworkers try them. They didn't like Bentley but they liked Idole.
Thanks Justin for this nice video. You’re a man of taste. Cartier parfum and Guerlain l’homme idéal intense are stunning. I have to try Curaçao Bay.
The intro was 🔥 Great trumpet work. Glad you touched on the options of fragrances. I'm definitely going to look into All those. I'm always open to stretching out my collection. ✌️
Thank you!

Great video Justin! I feel 241% fresher after watching this. Didn't realize you passed 40k subs. Congrats! Great channel and great content
Thank you so much Brian!
I totally agree with you on the Bentley Intense fragrance. I tried to wear it several times hoping I would like it...but I never did.
Justin bro there is no way I can afford Triumph of Bacchus. I absolutely take your word that it is the neutron bomb fragrance that it is touted to be. My question though in considering the title of the upload is about Carlisle. Is it a very HYPED fragrance? God bless me. I'm a neophyte in the fragrance game just beginning to put a decent collection together but I haven't heard anything really about Carlisle. Pegasus, yes but not Carlisle.
Lotta folks have been talking about Carlisle for a while! Welcome to the game my friend! Happy collecting :)
