Welcome back my man!! Thanks so much for the shout out 🤩. How good was Melbourne's chaotic weather for sampling... It has allowed me to test entire houses, including one from the Netherlands with monster winter frags - definitely some discovery sets coming your way!! 🔁
Good to be back Max! And yes, Melbourne was very considerate of us 'frag-heads' and the desire to test in all weather situations 😒 (BTW I used up the MV Augusta sample...in love with this one♥️ It transfers to my clothes and perfume is still rich and sublime) Looking forward to hearing about the new unique finds that you've uncovered😎
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector I've been toying with the idea of MV Agusta, and now the sample I have is almost gone it's disappeared from Xerjoff's website 🤔
Accento Overdose is my favourite Xerjoff fragrance. I have a strange personal connection with that scent: when I was a child, in Italy, I saw a TV commercial where 2 kids were sitting underneath a Christmas tree and started to eat it, as the entire tree was made of sweets: the bark, the needles and the balls (which were made of what looked like an orange coloured jelly). That commercial didn't have a lot of rotation and I only saw it twice or thrice. Hiwever, in my mind I had a clear idea of what that tree tasted like. So imagine my surprise, 40+ years on, when I tested Accento Overdose and said "that's it!". And I was all the more surprised when looking up the notes I found that it contains fir balm and eucaliptus. Don't worry though, this isn't what you'd call a Chrismas scent, at all. And it doesn't smell of pine shower gel. I wear it in all seasons, especially during spring because of its fruity side. It leans feminine, that's true, but I don't care, cause in my case it was a fantasy that materialised itself under my very nose. Ps: if you're Italian and you remember the commercial I was talking about, please get in touch: I've tried to track down that video ever since I was a child.
Oh man, that would be waaaaay to intense for me😳 But in a way I would love to experience what that would mean🤔 Great to hear from you Sam, thanks for jumping into the conversation
Torino23 was f*cking horrible. I won't spoil the experience though. I own 21, 22 and 23 now; once they finish the line 23 is 100% getting sold. Original Torino was not that good, very intense woody-spicy scent & it has a bizarre furniture store vibe. I haven't rated it, but maybe a 3/10. MV Agusta (not Augusta which is a place in the US where the golf masters are played) is a hypothetical rockstar perfume, very hard to pull off with the medicinal ambers & resinous-smoky leather. Accento Overdose is good-to-great - I remember smelling the OG Accento first and that scent blows, very boring musk-driven scent with hints of pineapple. Accento Overdose has extra aspects that make it smell more green & floral. Erba Gold I'd say is superior to Pura and it actually smells like it's somewhere between Pura & SHL's God of Fire. More sugary tropical fruity, less synthetic musky mess. Golden Moka was an interesting one & was a bit surprised the pyramid didn't include cardamom as it opens citruses & cardamom before drying dark woody with dry ambers. Need more time with it, unclear if I want it. Lastly, VC1 is the only one of the 6 that I own currently and I'd say it's among Xerjoff's very best. It definitely takes inspiration from Kemi's "Aurum", but I'd say VC1 improved on Aurum's formula to the point where it smells more like a chocolatey rose with berries relative to the overdose of rose in Aurum which brings resemblance to the Intense Cafe profile. Welcome back though. I think you should wait for Alexandria II Anniversary if you're going to make an order.
I got recently MV Augusta, and all i can say is it's badass af !!! It works awsome with a blackout outfit, a badass leather moto jacket and a pair of Randolph aviators. Even though it' tough for some people, those that told me they don't like it, loved it when i wore the badass moto outfit. I highly recommend it 😌
I've had a sample of MV Agusta for a while snd am seriously considering it. Smooth leather, and I'm finding that the orris has become more prominent with some time which only adds to that. I think it's a grahrance that would dress up very nicely indeed, but I was thinking it'd work well suited 😀
Great video (no surprise). Regarding testing I would strongly recommend You to test INITIO Parfums Privés fragrances. I would appreciate to hear your thoughts/opinions of the Initio fragrances. Maybe one day you could make another video review of the Initio line and categorization of the fragrances into Rookie, Semi-pro, Veteran, 5-star General categories (kind of videos you do so well). Best regards from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina!
Welcome back. Great episode. I haven't explored any xerjof yet! I'm meaning to get some samples at some points. Have been busy with amouage, bdk and few others. I felt its overwhelming to start with xerjof as a relative newbie fraghead. Melbourne weather has been excellent for sampling! I currently have guerlain tobacco honey on! Very potent! Very beautiful. Great to be able to test these in January!
Love 'Tobacco Honey'! Tried it in spring when David Hones first got it in. Beautiful ingredients, delicately balanced despite being heavy notes. Very different to the atandard honeyed tobacco scent and genuinely classy. Pretty sure a bottle is in my future 😃
Thank you Emily🙏🏽 it does feel good to be back and connecting with everyone. Hoping you’ve had a great start to the year and wishing you and family all the best for 2024….. it’s the year of the dragon!🐲 And very much appreciate the support when it comes to my ‘rambling’…. but this is gotta go! Need to train the brain to become a lot more focused and efficient💪🏽⚡️
I have a bunch of notes! 1. I am also obsessed with samples too 😂😂 I cannot blind buy so I sample everything 2. I got Accento Overdose for my wife and it is my #1 for her! It is magical on her. Love it! 3. This is my year for “Let Me Send You Something” I feel it! 😂😂 I might need a wheel of just Ryan but I feel it!
If you're looking for a Xerjoff that runs in a fougere vein, whilst it's bot technically one (close), and might seem a left field suggestion, try out Fars from the Oud Stars line 🙂
Whilst I can’t think of any super traditional fougeres, the fragrances that are technically classed as ‘Aromatic Fougeres’ (by Wikiparfums and Michael Edwards’ Team) are: Uden (Fougere/Watery) Mefisto Gentiluomo (Fougere/Citrus) Nio (Fougere/Spicy) Regio (Fougere/Spicy) Whether or not I agree with all those classifications, those are what they are. Uden is definitely the one that smells the most fougere like to me that I’ve tried - gorgeous stuff. 👍🏻
Uden has a definite barber shoppy feel to my nose (fougereish?) Nio I don't really get a fougere vibe, but I know some do (I get a clean juicy spiciness). Perhaps oddly, I do from Fars.
Boom Baby!!💫 I haven't had the chance to test Purple Accento but that bottle is next level! Such a visual statement maker♥️ Awesome to hear from you Greg; and it's clear that the 'Accento' range is a winner🤩
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector with 30+ bottles of Xerjoff in my collection, these are the most important. These give me a nice relaxing peaceful calm vibe. Accento was one of my first niche purchases along with Nishane Hacivat, due to the pineapple note. Wanted something that wasn't Aventus, but in within that range. Talk to your financial advisor about a bottle of Purple Accento, you won't regret it. All three are worthy of people checking out. I enjoy your videos, keep up the wonderful work! 🤘
@beamncoke45 I love it! And I am with you Greg, my Xerjoff’s are my prized possessions♥️ I love that you are encouraging me to approach my financier😂 You do realize that I’m already skating very thin ice🫤
Hermano! it’s a shame Tiziana Terenzi is not there yet, they’re absolutely fantastic, I would love to see you reviewing those, I know you’ll fall in love once you smell them. Maybe in your next Italy trip.
They can be found here, but there's no official retailer so obtaining samples is a hassle (I wish it were easier, as I've really liked a couple of them... 'Arrakis' is like 'Red Tobacco', but not an aggressively brain melting aromachemical overdose.
@@EdsProlixe Love Arrakis, is very refined potent and long lasting, plus the presentation is amazing. In the US they can all be found at a really great price too
For me personally Erba Gold is pretty similar to Erba Pura, but Accento Overdose has nothing to do with the original Accento. Funny how everyone perceives things differently 😁 Love your videos!
Likewise. I can't handle the OG Erba Pura, but Erba Gold is very similar but less saccharine to me. Likewise, Accento and Overdose are completely different to my nose. Accento is heavy and cold weather, whereas Overdose is fresher, more floral, and would wear well in the heat.
Watching Mate talk while drinking my Mate 🧉. On my skin Accento is leaning a little feminine and kind of soft, gave it to my wife and it smells divine off her skin 🥰
Also, would love to see you review some M. Micallef, if we could get it in Australia…I have been hoping for years, but it remains elusive. Another house I’d love to hear your opinion on is Lorenzo Pazzaglia, apparently they have some divine beast-mode vanilla fragrances!
I recommend it wholeheartedly. It's lovely in the cool weather. It's one that got me chased down the street by a random person last year, so beware that it's an attention grabber.
Via Cavour's definitely a winner. The oud and the rose occasionally peeking their way out around the gourmandiness is good fun. I've had it for a couple of yearsish now and have found it to age well once open.
Awesome to hear from you and happy to say that your wish is a reality!!🎉 I created a range of On-Demand Masterclasses with Michael Marzano, which you can watch anytime, anywhere: This is the link for the Xerjoff one: www.libertineparfumerie.com.au/products/discover-xerjoff-discovery-masterclass Libertine will send you the samples and now you can watch at your leisure; they also include a redemption code with a discount if you decide to buy something....boom baby!!💫 Thanks for reaching out @infishort0187 👊🏽 great to hear from you
Happy Birthday! Congrats on the growth of the channel! I have Torino 21 and love it in summer months. Erba Gold was not good for me. I have Cavour 1 on my radar to try a sample. Thanks for your reviews!
Thanks for the Maté talk, was great after 2 weeks without! 🥳 Xerjoffs are great! I have just a few Xerjoff samples but already 3 are on my *_Radar_* / buying list: Torino 22, Tony Iommi and Decas.
Great to hear from you Sem and yes! It’s good to be back💫 In my books, all 3 of those fragrances are pure magic… I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts on them once you’ve had a chance to test🥰
Watch this space😎 I have a Xerjoff episode coming out later this month that will have Via Cavour 1 as part of the line up🧡 Big love for this fragrance! Awesome recommendation @ary8078
Its your love for Xerjoff that drew me to your channel. Was looking for someone witha lot of experience with the brand, who also happened to have more life experience as well. Low and behold, the algorithms brought me here when you were around 4k. Now you're staring down the barrel of 60k. I love to see it.
Awesome to have connected with you via our common love for all things Xerjoff and really appreciate all the support from the very early days Jared 👊🏽💫 It is exciting to see the channel grow; it's wonderful for me to see that the episodes and style is resonating with others 🙏🏽♥️ And yes! Xerjoff😍 That glorious Italian House that really seems to be hitting its strides. I'm excited to be creating a Part III and sharing some new loves with everyone. Thanks again for all your support Jared, great to hear from you mate 👊🏽
I'll be keen to hear your thoughts on Erba Gold Bro, I'll bring you my sample and see what you think....or maybe I'll bring you the full bottle that I'm planning to buy 🙄
Got all of the 'Torino' now 🙂 (Torino, T21,T22 and T23) , don't like MvAgusta, my latest purchase from Xerjoff is Erba Gold. Started last year with Xerjoff/Naxos and ended with 19 bottles that year.
Boom Baby!!💫 Thank you Cara👊🏽 I find that in Dolce Amalfi the quince note is very playful/sweet/bubblegum like. If you like fruity, then this is a winner In Via Cavour, it's more subdued by the Dark Chocolate note; the sweetness has been toned down but still fruity. For me Dolce is a awesome summer/spring happy fragrance. Whereas Via can be an all year round fragrance Hope that helps Cara. I would recommend you test side by side (one on each hand) and see which one 'sings' the best for you💫
Hi Marcelo, Great to see you back and great to have Maté Talk back! Missed the show while you were away! Hope you had an awesome couple of weeks off! Golden Moka sounds like something I might like, I'll have to get a sample.
Great to see you back! Awesome mate talk as usual! I remember asking you about your opinion on Musk Pallace some time ago and I was sure that you will love it once you try it. I got my bottle of it yesterday and will be in rotation with Silver Musk from Nasomatto...they are so similar and yet so different, I guess this is the magic of niche perfumery. As for the rest of the line-up....I will try not to take samples of any of them as I would end buying again 🤣
Great to see you again! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season! i would love to watch Xerjoff's beginners buying guide focus more on feminine leaning fragrances.
Happy New Year Dominika💫🎉 Hoping you had a great start to the year! I love this idea! Yes, will organise and bring something to life on this as I have a number of fragrance's in the collection that can easily fit this category...thanks for the recommendation! Actually, maybe I do it as a Mate Talk?🤔
Hi Marcelo. Good video as always, tried erba gold and its amazing. I have a doubt and i need a help. What would be your personal choice to buy between those 2. Xerjoff - more than words or jovoy - psychodelique. Thanks in advance
@TheNicheFragranceCollector Thanks a lot! It's a bit difficult getting them here, but your videos make me feel as if I'm smelling them myself haha 🇦🇷🇦🇷
Marcelo, great to have you back!! Hope you have had a wonderful start to the new year! SOTD is Torino22 from a Xerjoff discovery set I received for Christmas. The first time I sprayed Torino22 I wasn’t sure how to feel. It reminded me of the smell of tennis balls 😂 But today, in the midst of giving it a full wearing, I love it! This may be full bottle worthy! Side note, Zaharoff recently released Signature Black Rose. I’d love to hear your take on it!!
Happy New Year Michael💫🎉hoping you’ve had a great start to the year. Not sure if you saw the episode that I created on the blind buying of Torino 22? But I was the same as you… Not so sure on that early wear of the fragrance. ua-cam.com/video/H_rczb3Xw6g/v-deo.htmlsi=TO1mCzAmqt9eW4RV However, as the day progressed I quickly began to realize that this is a winner. It was my pick for 2023 as one of my fragrances in constant rotation…. This beauty is a winner💫♥️ And yes, I went into the Oligarch store and had a chance to test out the new Zaharoff black rose… This too is incredible! I am looking at getting a full bottle and will do a review on this shortly Awesome to connect Micheal, thanks for jumping into the conversation 👊🏽
Marcelo, do you express yourself better in spanish? I'm curious because I saw an interview of Meo Fusciuni before the International Mate Talk and I had a lot of pleasure to understand Meo's full explaination of his creations in his native language. The interview that I'm talking about is made by the channel Profumi di Niccia.
Sorry!!!😫 I feel like I need to clone myself so that each of 'me' can do a set task😎 But YES! you were right! This one is awesome; well worth to be in the collection😏 Not getting Iommi vibes; mainly because I detect the patchouli real quick. Whereas I do get like an oud vibe from it; even though theres no oud🤷🏽♂️ (maybe it's the dark chocolate?) I may have ordered this one....so will report in once I spray from the bottle and start experiencing this beauty💫 Always good to hear from you Faouzi👊🏽
Thanks for reaching out and very much appreciate the support 💫 Yes, I have my own production business in which I create for corporates and lifestyle brands. If you're interested I shared the background to how the NFC channel started here in my very first Mate Talk: ua-cam.com/video/sPS3JHGXKdE/v-deo.html Thanks again for reaching out @jrsiny, great to connect
Awesome to connect Ashish 💫 Good question! Short answer is not sure 🤷🏽♂️ I don't own Accento Overdose (other than the test that I did here in this Mate Talk) so I haven't given it a proper run. As I have both the Xerjoff "Accento" version and the Sospiro "Accento Viola" I didn't see the need to get another one with Overdose Having said that, if you feel that Accento is wearable for a man; then Overdose will be no problem as OG is a lot more floral Sorry that I couldn't be of more help on this! But I do appreciate you reaching out💫
Hey Marcel, not an inappropriate question at all! I love talking about the watches💫 This is the Omega Deville coaxial… my photographer did some images on this beauty. You can check it out here:instagram.com/p/CveMP1LxCxi/?igsh=OTNtb29uZThsdmhv I can see that you are a watch guy too🤩♥️
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector That is true. Well, let that be the only disappointment of our lives. The more satisfaction will be when we add another piece to our watch collection if we have to wait a while.
Great to hear from you! I buy these: www.amazon.com.au/Perfume-Akamino-Disposable-Fragrances-Essential/dp/B08BFB76H6/ref=asc_df_B08BFB76H6/?tag=googleshopdsk-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=464132966319&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7742248171395234839&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9071456&hvtargid=pla-1292718949825&mcid=dd4c5c24054f37c59507dc544dad3a29&th=1 I find that the paper has zero smell and holds the fragrance well enough when I'm testing. Pricing on these are pretty good in my opinion.....good luck!! 💫
Hola Marcelo!!I'm so glad to have mate talk back! I was missing it. I hope everything is good with you. any plans for Esxence "year of the dragon" edition ? have a wonderful day
I just purchased erba gold today cant wait for my bottle to arrive and I got Initio rehab from saks yesterday not better than side effect but damn its close both are masterpieces and I own Naxos this is my 2nd bottle of Xerjoff my niche collection is getting up there I own 20 bottles spread out between creed Initio PDM Nishane Xerjoff my only designer I own is YSL Y le parfum I gave Dior savage to my 10 year old
My take away from your comment here Daniel is that your 10 yr old is rocking Dior Savauge😎💫 I love the collection that you have Daniel; really good House's in your line up and I know each one is better than the last....BTW congrats on Erba Gold! This in fact is a glorious summer fragrance; you're going to love it! Not sure if you saw this episode that I created after my testing (which was done in this production) Xerjoff Part III: ua-cam.com/video/tx2aCjsBB6g/v-deo.html Awesome to connect 👊🏽
I love your suggestion! I'm going to get a sample of this and start to test this one. It might not make it into Part III but let me see if it can land into Part IV Thanks for reaching out @user-dj1dg3sp6o appreciate you jumping into the conversation
@TheNicheFragranceCollector I also asked because there are hardly any reviews of Xerjoff Homme anywhere on UA-cam. So, I'm looking forward to a future review,hopefully. Thanks
Can you please do a video with budget negotiations techniques please? Apparently my budget has been exceeded and it’s only January. 🥹😫😅 Followed and shared Kevin’s and your new IG page! I will join you one day 😊 Can you also, when you get a chance, have a look at La Manufacture fragrances? I discovered them at Oligarch and they have a classic French (quality, affordable, interesting, fragrance) line up that I have not found much anywhere on UA-cam.

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector I've been toying with the idea of MV Agusta, and now the sample I have is almost gone it's disappeared from Xerjoff's website 🤔
My personal favorite is Xerjoff Uden. After waiting for a few hours it becomes magnificent.

Accento Overdose is so underrated. The jasmine and Bulgarian rose in the drydown is truly divine and what I would imagine heaven would smell like lol
Torino 21 is still my favorite between 21 and 22. I was wondering if anyone knows if there's a Xerjoff fougere, and what it is

Via Cavour's definitely a winner. The oud and the rose occasionally peeking their way out around the gourmandiness is good fun. I've had it for a couple of yearsish now and have found it to age well once open.
Back in the saddle! Thanks for the new Xerjoff introductions Marcelo. Wishing you all the best success this year!
Boom baby!💫🤩 it’s so good to be back♥️
Wishing you an awesome year, Fred! Not sure if you know, but it’s the year of the dragon! 😮🐲

@megasoid 🤩⚡️
Libertine should get you to run a Xerjoff Discovery session with these fragrances. I would go! (If I could make it in time, lol)
Awesome to hear from you and happy to say that your wish is a reality!!🎉
I created a range of On-Demand Masterclasses with Michael Marzano, which you can watch anytime, anywhere:

Libertine will send you the samples and now you can watch at your leisure; they also include a redemption code with a discount if you decide to buy something....boom baby!!💫
Thanks for reaching out @infishort0187 👊🏽 great to hear from you
Just got via Cavour today it’s amazing. My favorites right now are Richwood, 40 knots, more than words, and Uden.
Happy Birthday! Congrats on the growth of the channel! I have Torino 21 and love it in summer months. Erba Gold was not good for me. I have Cavour 1 on my radar to try a sample. Thanks for your reviews!
Thanks for the Maté talk, was great after 2 weeks without! 🥳
Xerjoffs are great! I have just a few Xerjoff samples but already 3 are on my *_Radar_* / buying list: Torino 22, Tony Iommi and Decas.
Great to hear from you Sem and yes! It’s good to be back💫
In my books, all 3 of those fragrances are pure magic… I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts on them once you’ve had a chance to test🥰
Cannot go wrong with Tony Iommi. It's a fun wear 😃
nobody is talking about via cavour 1, 😔 why is this so underatted in the community
Watch this space😎 I have a Xerjoff episode coming out later this month that will have Via Cavour 1 as part of the line up🧡
Big love for this fragrance! Awesome recommendation @ary8078
Its your love for Xerjoff that drew me to your channel. Was looking for someone witha lot of experience with the brand, who also happened to have more life experience as well.
Low and behold, the algorithms brought me here when you were around 4k. Now you're staring down the barrel of 60k. I love to see it.
Awesome to have connected with you via our common love for all things Xerjoff and really appreciate all the support from the very early days Jared 👊🏽💫
It is exciting to see the channel grow; it's wonderful for me to see that the episodes and style is resonating with others 🙏🏽♥️
And yes! Xerjoff😍 That glorious Italian House that really seems to be hitting its strides. I'm excited to be creating a Part III and sharing some new loves with everyone.
Thanks again for all your support Jared, great to hear from you mate 👊🏽
So glad to get your take on L'Abre De La Connaissance. I'm loving my sample as the fig is delicious.
Yay welcome back Marcelo!! I'm so happy you just released a Mate Talk, its been boring on UA-cam for abit but now you're back! 🔥
Some of my fave Xerjoffs in this video! I'm really keen to text our Erba Gold 😍💎
I'll be keen to hear your thoughts on Erba Gold Bro, I'll bring you my sample and see what you think....or maybe I'll bring you the full bottle that I'm planning to buy 🙄
Thanks for sharing . . . very interesting !
😮 You were not messing around with your steps! 24k+ steps per day?! 🤯
Got all of the 'Torino' now 🙂 (Torino, T21,T22 and T23) , don't like MvAgusta, my latest purchase from Xerjoff is Erba Gold. Started last year with Xerjoff/Naxos and ended with 19 bottles that year.
Followed 🤞. Also which one do you think has a more pronounced Quince note in the opening, Dolce di Amalfi or Via Cavour?
Boom Baby!!💫 Thank you Cara👊🏽
I find that in Dolce Amalfi the quince note is very playful/sweet/bubblegum like. If you like fruity, then this is a winner
In Via Cavour, it's more subdued by the Dark Chocolate note; the sweetness has been toned down but still fruity.
For me Dolce is a awesome summer/spring happy fragrance. Whereas Via can be an all year round fragrance
Hope that helps Cara. I would recommend you test side by side (one on each hand) and see which one 'sings' the best for you💫
Hi Marcelo, Great to see you back and great to have Maté Talk back! Missed the show while you were away! Hope you had an awesome couple of weeks off! Golden Moka sounds like something I might like, I'll have to get a sample.
Don't stress on the efficiency of the video. These are a joy to watch. Xerjoff is my favorite house. Is the store in Milan worth a visit? Thank you!
Great to see you back! Awesome mate talk as usual!
I remember asking you about your opinion on Musk Pallace some time ago and I was sure that you will love it once you try it. I got my bottle of it yesterday and will be in rotation with Silver Musk from Nasomatto...they are so similar and yet so different, I guess this is the magic of niche perfumery.
As for the rest of the line-up....I will try not to take samples of any of them as I would end buying again 🤣
Great to see you again! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season! i would love to watch Xerjoff's beginners buying guide focus more on feminine leaning fragrances.
Happy New Year Dominika💫🎉 Hoping you had a great start to the year!
I love this idea! Yes, will organise and bring something to life on this as I have a number of fragrance's in the collection that can easily fit this category...thanks for the recommendation!
Actually, maybe I do it as a Mate Talk?🤔
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector ❤️
Hi Marcelo. Good video as always, tried erba gold and its amazing.
I have a doubt and i need a help. What would be your personal choice to buy between those 2.
Xerjoff - more than words or jovoy - psychodelique.
Thanks in advance
Greetings from Argentina Marcelo! Thanks to your awesome reviews I got myself Naxos and Terroni. Love your videos!!
Hermano🇦🇷🤩 great to hear from you Ariel💫
Brilliant choice with both Naxos and Terroni💛🤎
@TheNicheFragranceCollector Thanks a lot! It's a bit difficult getting them here, but your videos make me feel as if I'm smelling them myself haha 🇦🇷🇦🇷
Marcelo, great to have you back!! Hope you have had a wonderful start to the new year!
SOTD is Torino22 from a Xerjoff discovery set I received for Christmas. The first time I sprayed Torino22 I wasn’t sure how to feel. It reminded me of the smell of tennis balls 😂 But today, in the midst of giving it a full wearing, I love it! This may be full bottle worthy!
Side note, Zaharoff recently released Signature Black Rose. I’d love to hear your take on it!!
Happy New Year Michael💫🎉hoping you’ve had a great start to the year.
Not sure if you saw the episode that I created on the blind buying of Torino 22? But I was the same as you… Not so sure on that early wear of the fragrance.
ua-cam.com/video/H_rczb3Xw6g/v-deo.htmlsi=TO1mCzAmqt9eW4RV
However, as the day progressed I quickly began to realize that this is a winner.
It was my pick for 2023 as one of my fragrances in constant rotation…. This beauty is a winner💫♥️
And yes, I went into the Oligarch store and had a chance to test out the new Zaharoff black rose… This too is incredible! I am looking at getting a full bottle and will do a review on this shortly
Awesome to connect Micheal, thanks for jumping into the conversation 👊🏽
Via Cavour doesn’t work on me it only lasts an hour then it’s gone. But has a great opening.
Did you get a chance to smell Spiritum Paris I got one for Christmas and it smells amazing curious what you have to say about them !
I love MV Gusta it smells like a brand new lambo
I’m yet to sit in a brand new lambo (let alone A lambo)… so I’m gonna take your word for it Daniel😎
@TheNicheFragranceCollector me neither but it's what I imagine it to smell like haha
Marcelo, do you express yourself better in spanish? I'm curious because I saw an interview of Meo Fusciuni before the International Mate Talk and I had a lot of pleasure to understand Meo's full explaination of his creations in his native language. The interview that I'm talking about is made by the channel Profumi di Niccia.
Finally you tested Via Cavour 1!!! Took you so long 😂 but I was sure you will love it 🔥
Are you getting some Tony Iommi vibes from it or it’s just me?
Sorry!!!😫 I feel like I need to clone myself so that each of 'me' can do a set task😎
But YES! you were right! This one is awesome; well worth to be in the collection😏
Not getting Iommi vibes; mainly because I detect the patchouli real quick. Whereas I do get like an oud vibe from it; even though theres no oud🤷🏽♂️ (maybe it's the dark chocolate?)
I may have ordered this one....so will report in once I spray from the bottle and start experiencing this beauty💫
Always good to hear from you Faouzi👊🏽
Thanks my friend 😊, let us know when you have the full bottle. I would love to hear a full review on it ✌️✌️
For a man,,please be honest.. which one you choose, LAMAR or ACCENTO OVERDOSE
Vert different scents. I have, and love, Lamar. Accento overdose is more overtly floral and less playful.
I have the Torino 23 as a tester... absolutely not worth it..
Oh No😯 Now I'm scared....
To blind buy, or not to blind buy.....😳
Thanks for sharing @saibot_201 appreciate the insight!
Which would you choose between vc 1 and alex 2?
Has anyone tried golden green???
This too is on my radar… I’ve heard it’s a nice twist on the other coffee break’s in the collection
It is true to its name in it being green…right off the bat it’s greeeeen lol. Moka is my favorite from the collection. A little sweeter
So do you prefer Erba gold over Accento overdose ?! I want to buy one of them for the heat days but still can’t decide, appreciate your help
Great content! I was wondering if you do something else for a living?
Thanks for reaching out and very much appreciate the support 💫
Yes, I have my own production business in which I create for corporates and lifestyle brands. If you're interested I shared the background to how the NFC channel started here in my very first Mate Talk: ua-cam.com/video/sPS3JHGXKdE/v-deo.html
Thanks again for reaching out @jrsiny, great to connect
Hi,
Do you consider accento overdose leaning more on the feminine side?
Awesome to connect Ashish 💫 Good question!
Short answer is not sure 🤷🏽♂️
I don't own Accento Overdose (other than the test that I did here in this Mate Talk) so I haven't given it a proper run. As I have both the Xerjoff "Accento" version and the Sospiro "Accento Viola" I didn't see the need to get another one with Overdose
Having said that, if you feel that Accento is wearable for a man; then Overdose will be no problem as OG is a lot more floral
Sorry that I couldn't be of more help on this! But I do appreciate you reaching out💫
Marcelo, if is not an inappropriate question, what is the watch you are wearing?
Hey Marcel, not an inappropriate question at all! I love talking about the watches💫
This is the Omega Deville coaxial… my photographer did some images on this beauty. You can check it out here:instagram.com/p/CveMP1LxCxi/?igsh=OTNtb29uZThsdmhv
I can see that you are a watch guy too🤩♥️
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Very beautiful watch this one. And yes, I am a watch guy before I was into fragrances.
@marcelboca8630 I too love watches Marcel… Problem is that the budget now goes up exponentially compared to Niche perfumery😮💨🚀
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector That is true. Well, let that be the only disappointment of our lives. The more satisfaction will be when we add another piece to our watch collection if we have to wait a while.
is there a specific type of paper/tester strips that are best when you aren't testing on skin?
Great to hear from you! I buy these: www.amazon.com.au/Perfume-Akamino-Disposable-Fragrances-Essential/dp/B08BFB76H6/ref=asc_df_B08BFB76H6/?tag=googleshopdsk-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=464132966319&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7742248171395234839&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9071456&hvtargid=pla-1292718949825&mcid=dd4c5c24054f37c59507dc544dad3a29&th=1
I find that the paper has zero smell and holds the fragrance well enough when I'm testing. Pricing on these are pretty good in my opinion.....good luck!! 💫
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector ty!!
1st 😂
Hola Marcelo!!I'm so glad to have mate talk back! I was missing it.
I hope everything is good with you.
any plans for Esxence "year of the dragon" edition ?
have a wonderful day
I just purchased erba gold today cant wait for my bottle to arrive and I got Initio rehab from saks yesterday not better than side effect but damn its close both are masterpieces and I own Naxos this is my 2nd bottle of Xerjoff my niche collection is getting up there I own 20 bottles spread out between creed Initio PDM Nishane Xerjoff my only designer I own is YSL Y le parfum I gave Dior savage to my 10 year old
My take away from your comment here Daniel is that your 10 yr old is rocking Dior Savauge😎💫
I love the collection that you have Daniel; really good House's in your line up and I know each one is better than the last....BTW congrats on Erba Gold! This in fact is a glorious summer fragrance; you're going to love it!
Not sure if you saw this episode that I created after my testing (which was done in this production) Xerjoff Part III: ua-cam.com/video/tx2aCjsBB6g/v-deo.html
Awesome to connect 👊🏽
Can you please review in episode 3 Xerjoff Homme, which started the whole xerjoff collection plus some new Xerjoff not mentioned in part 1 and 2???
I love your suggestion! I'm going to get a sample of this and start to test this one. It might not make it into Part III but let me see if it can land into Part IV
Thanks for reaching out @user-dj1dg3sp6o appreciate you jumping into the conversation
@TheNicheFragranceCollector I also asked because there are hardly any reviews of Xerjoff Homme anywhere on UA-cam. So, I'm looking forward to a future review,hopefully. Thanks
I have Golden Dallah and interested in Golden Moka. As a matter of fact, I think that whole coffee line is super interesting.
Can you please do a video with budget negotiations techniques please? Apparently my budget has been exceeded and it’s only January. 🥹😫😅
Followed and shared Kevin’s and your new IG page! I will join you one day 😊
Can you also, when you get a chance, have a look at La Manufacture fragrances? I discovered them at Oligarch and they have a classic French (quality, affordable, interesting, fragrance) line up that I have not found much anywhere on UA-cam.
