I’ve got to say your ability to describe fragrances, their notes and overall feel is absolutely remarkable. You capture every fragrance beautifully in your words, it’s one of my favorite things about you!
I want to like Eau Givree but I have tried on my wrist from the store at two different occasions now and I still just can't get over the bitter notes. Much appreciation for the recommendations and ways to wisely grow my tastes and collection! Viewer from Sweden
I find that you describe fragrances very well and I know I won’t like certain fragrances. Some of these are just too masculine for me and I actually like a lot of “masculine” scents. I am a fan of a lot of these fragrances. Declaration is an old favourite of mine.
I pledge allegiance to the fresh squad. For better or worse, I will whiff whatever you say. I got a few based on your recommendations and you have yet to let me down. I apologize for letting you down, will whiff all of them
I sampled gentle fluidity on your recommendation. I bought the full bottle immediately after as both my wife and I loved it. Great long lasting fresh scent. Two things that typically aren’t mentioned in the same sentence. Thank you sir!
Hey.. I was at Harvey Nichols on Thursday. I got my nose on a number of frags on this list. I saved a spot my forearm for one last frag before I was blind to them. The last one was E&B Egypt. Man, this did something to me none of the others did. It is just beautiful. I put some on a blotter and carried this in my pocket. Sniffing my arm and the blotter at dinner. When I was around 16 some 26 years ago. I had opium by ysl. Maybe a little mature for a 16 year old. But I loved it. Egypt has a little something in it that takes me back to that time. I was transported. I managed to do some research and picked up a 100ml bottle for a very reasonable price. As usual I go out and feel the energy from a frag, then look at reviews. Just so happens it appears in this list. I will receive today and of all my fragrances this is my most anticipated. I cannot wait for it to arrive.
I have full bottles of almost all of these based on your recommendations.. the only ones I haven’t tried was Russian tea, declaration, and winter. I was not a huge fan of labyrinth of spices. But I have a full decant to experience and change my mind Great video
Yeah, got Enclave and have been enjoying it so much that I haven't reported back. Best smelling fragrance I've ever got my nose on and I came to that judgement after unboxing and testing it before bed in 4/5 hours. Thanks again bro
Yesterday I tried Terre d'Hermes Eau Givrée for the first time in a shop and I totally loved it ! I immediately bought it, also with a 25% discount, not Bad 😊 For a long time I struggled to find a good fragrance for the summer, now I finally have one thanks to you. Keep up the good work !
I actually used to have Russian Tea! It was amazing, but wasn't quite for me, and my husband didn't enjoy it 😢, so I ended up giving it to a good friend as a holiday gift. Said he loved it 😁
Tried Enclave (ok but not mindlblowing) , Royal Oud (Green and old-school but elegant) , Eau Givree (fresh take on OG) , Gentle Fluidity silver (smells too designerish) ,declaration (smells very unique) For cooling fragrances i would choose Amouage's Beach Hut Man and Search (this smells rather odd to some people) . The best classy fresh for me is Roja's Izola Blue (ex Oligarch)
Hi Justin 👋 Amazing Collection And Unique ❤ Now I remember thanks 🙏 to you I blind bought Cartier Declaration Parfume ♂️ and I was floored how great and special this fragrance is ❣️ My most cherished hidden gem 💎 fragrance to this day..!!! Another special vibe close to this one would be Amouage Overture ✨ Still Super Curious About Alghabra Labyrinth Of Spices 😊
I feel inclined to try them all...only because you mentioned the Terre D'Hermes, the Tom Ford Oud Minerale (glad its back), and The Cartier (all of which I own and wear often)...Declaration is slept on and its by far the most complimented scent I own...I prefer the EDT for everyday as the EDP can be a little much for day to day - solid recommendations!
It's me again - just got to the end of the video with Carter Declaration Parfum. I just recently absolutely fell in love with Declaration d'un Soir and only wish they would bring that back as a parfum to hopefully give it more punch and longevity! That rose is incredible though - my latest favorite note!
Love the Creed lineup. I have Aventus, Silver Mountain Water, & Viking. All are amazing!! I’m trying to decide on my 4th bottle. Definitely gonna sniff the Royal Oud. I’m leaning towards Green Irish Tweed.
As Enclave gives you that “never regret putting this on” feeling, Blonde Amber by Clive Christian, amongst others, also gives me that uplifting feeling! The rum and spice are just 👌! Sill have to try Enclave based on your recommendation! And for those who do not like Royal Oud, Viking from Creed…send all them samples to me! These are truly masterpieces! Great video per usual, Justin!
I've tried a ton of your recommendations, but there are still a couple on here I need to try. I had completely forgotten about Dasein Winter, I haven't heard anyone talk about them in a long time. Moving that to the top of my sample list as we speak.
Discovered a fragrance in Tunisia, visiting family there, from a tunisian fragrance house called “Maison de senteurs”, called Velours Ottoman, it basically smells like a combination of L’homme ideal l’intense and Enclave, great quality, if you could ever find it i think you’d love it, they base their fragrances around places using local ingredients and local perfumers which is cool, and a 100ml costs 60 dinar which is like 20 bucks :).
Royal Oud was love at first sniff for me! After I smelled it, I knew I had to get it. Definitely not for everyone, but one of my favorites from the house alongside Green Irish Tweed
I have Oud Minerale. It's a freaky frag, man. It's a walk along a rocky shoreline with driftwood on a cloudy, wet day on a coast in a northern clime in autumn. You can not wear it everywhere, but the places you _can_ wear it will be perfectly fine, though some will wonder about the unusual smell. It goes against my every fibre to say this, but dont overspray 😄
Labyrinth of Spices and Enclave are amazing.Your constant passion about them makes me trust your taste and want to pull the trigger on your other recommendations.Great video as always!
I sniffed 90% of these and can confirm they’re all bangers (subjectively). Justin’s recommendation led me to enclave. When Justin says he really likes something I don’t hesitate to try it.
The new oud minerale is much more wearable now 👌👌👌 I couldn't stand the old one tbh.. I'm actually impressed that they only changed a few aspects of it and it became much more pleasing to my nose.
Great list! I will probably get a full bottle of Enclave soon. I bought a 2ml sample of it a couple years ago and ran right through it. Beautiful profile with the mint.
Recently purchased 150ml Cartier declaration parfum, I agree the initial cumin note can be off putting to some, but love it, it's class in a bottle, dressy for sure.
Discovered a fragrance in Tunisia, visiting family there, from a tunisian fragrance house called “Scenteur d’ailleurs”, called Velours Ottoman, it basically smells like a combination of L’homme ideal l’intense and Enclave, great quality, if you could ever find it i think you’d love it, they base their fragrances around places using local ingredients and local perfumers which is cool, and a 100ml costs 60 dinar which is like 20 bucks :).
Love the Oud minerale. Thought I’d made a mistake with it at first. Now I just give it one good spray on body and enjoy catching the scent here and there rather than it overpowering. To me that’s how this one wears best. Love the content 👍
Justin, I don’t usually comment under your videos but I love seeing all of them, I just wanted to say thank you for making me curious about Eau Givree.. I just had to try it and I loved it.. bought it instantly after… greetings from Italy 💓
I watched many videos and reviews ... I just finished one of yours about your fav citrus frag .. I couldn't fall in love with Terre D' Hermes.. i finished 60% of 75ml .. i couldn't understand it specially when i compare to the Deceleration parfum when it cools down ... I gave it to my brother to try it. I think i will leave Deceleration to next winter .. i might use it only when i wear suit at work or some nights when I don't to wear my fav ones ... I will see how it goes.
Eau Givree is definitely a sleeper that no one is talking about. I can’t speak on its performance but it’s definitely one of the most original smelling designer fragrances in a sea of this flanker trend. I just recommend it to a friend yesterday who’s just getting into fragrances at 36. I plan on picking it up myself after I finish my summer/spring pick Dior homme sport. Having both feels redundant as they are both very heavy on the citrus note.
Tried Eau Givre, there's something about that line that I don't like. Love Royal Oud. I have samples of the new Oud Minerale, really nice fresh scent with a hit of some darkness.
Dude, I have an Egypt sample and I was thinking it smells soo familiar and couldn't figure it out. Then it came to me, smells very close to 2nd Soul. Do you agree?
I love most things Tom Ford... but the Oud Minerale is going to be an acquired taste. Smells like a burnt out campfire on the beach.... which I love... just not sure I want to smell like one...
Russian Tea is good. I love LV imagination and ive been in search of that Black Tea Note in a niche perfume. I think Russian Tea is close if not even better.
Not sure if you tried Roja Burlington. Very unique and versatile. Try it out. It should be on your top recommendation. Remains on skin for days with excellent projection.
Must say that cartier parfum is very unique.... Dry woody, spicy (spice cabinet).... Polarising? Yes... But in a very very intriguing way...... Smells of high quality...... Will definitely take.. Getting used to... But it'll grow on you..... And ive smelled it in both summer and winter....... And ill say, this fragrance is meant for fall and winter only...... Thanks custin jopeland 😊😊😂... Grateful for the very informative content...... Peace! ✌️..... And well see each other in the next one..
I’m been looking to add a couple tea fragrances to my collection. Been eyeing Russian Tea since you recommended It some time ago. Just got Wulong Cha and I love It. If the vibes aren’t redundant I’ll have both.
There you go DR Copeland keep being confident of your taste, you really killing the game, keep saying it with confidence! Yes I have an accurate taste. Tell them TRUST MY TASTE!
TOM FORD OUD Minerale, what can I say about this frag, it's the best, most beautiful aquatic fragrance I have tried. The dry down on this is so exquisite.. I bought a 50Ml of it, and loved it so much, I Immediately bought a 100Ml as well. To me, the dry down smells how a rich Wall Street guy would smell coming out of his Lamborghini..
Love the video Justin. Would love to try Russian tea, Egypt and Labyrinth of spice. I did ask about Oud Mineral 2 months ago but it was not available, can't wait to try it. Eau Givree I love (tried it and got it after seeing your review) , prefer it over the original EDT (although that was a love at first sniff), I get the cooling effect and it stay the whole day. Gentle Fluidity Silver is lovely and I have my eye on it. Declaration I always thought the edt was too much cardamom, I have to revisit the EDP. Enclave is unique but the opening is too minty, I prefer beach hut, lineage, bracken man and Jubilation, but I think it deserves a full wearing, will probably get a sample. The only Creed that worked for me were Bois Portugal and Aventus (original), don't remember trying Royal Oud, Viking Cologne is ok. I always feel there perfumes are watered down. I haven't seen Dasein here in Dubai, but it does sound great.
Great video Justin !!! I do have a request, not that you’d make an entire off my request 😅 but I really want to get into the house of Amouage and I know they have a lot of offerings. I’ve been looking for content surrounding a Amougae buying guide but couldn’t find any. I know you’ve mentioned ‘Enclave’ so I do have that in the chamber. Could you possibly do an entire Amouge buying guide one day ? Blessings!
Thank you! Great question. I can’t say I’m the definitive source on the entire house, but I did a video a few months ago rating my collection. I hope it can give you some more insight into some of the other offerings ua-cam.com/video/hb4zedkIzdM/v-deo.html
I glad you brought up Dasein, I had them on my list and forgotten about them. And Egypt believe it or not, I have yet to try. My favorite is Nuit de Megeve from E&B. Reminds me of a few hard to get classics. Great list here. 👌 By the way, have you tried Russian Tea Oud yet? Looks interesting.
Your recommendations have steered me right many, many times. Russian Tea, Gentle Fluidity Silver, L’Humaniste, Pasha de Cartier Parfum, Beach Hut Man, Zaharoff Signature, Diaghilev, Burlington 1819… just to name a few off the top of my head. You sir, have impeccable taste. Also, shoutout to Julien Rasquinet for having 3 of his creations in this list (Russian Tea, Enclave, Royal Oud). I know you also enjoy Creed Vetiver Geranium and BDK Tabac Rose, so good job Julien. He clearly knows what he’s doing. 🫡
I just went and bought all of these at full retail price 🙂 lol! Jkjkjk. I've tried several of these but I'm working on sampling more of them. Love enclave and gentle fluidity silver. Decant x is the place to be 🙂 so is this stay fresh crew. Loved the pun 🙂 LOL
Hey bud - long time! LOVE the intro with all it's drama. LOL Ur funny. :-) And I must say, after watching this video, I definitely have a few I need to add to my sample list. The last thing I would ever want is to drop off your fan list (i.e. A-list!) Hope all is well. Oh also....ENCLAVE for the WIN!!!!
Justin please sample invasion Barbare I think it would have been a great addition to this list.which by the way is pretty awesome. I’ll have to revisit oud mineral I know I like the smell but didn’t find it to be something I wanted to wear but I’ll definitely check it out when I see it in the store
@@stayfreshproductions so what’s stopping you get a sample. Very classy wear. Opens with a muted grapefruit note but quickly transitions into a powdery lavender there is a dry unsweetened vanilla in the base. The tie in between all of these notes is a pale note of violet leaf that doesn’t blend with the other notes rather an off set or contrast that in my mind would appear as a grey blue dot on a painting that is otherwise white on white. It leans classic but the violet leaf adds a modern aspect. Definitely not a banger it’s much more of a grooming scent but when I do wear it I often get compliments and people never say you smell great but often say whatever your wearing smells beautiful. Id say for sure it is one of the few “masterpieces” in my collection. I’d also say it’s a fragrance any mature man in this hobby needs to experience at least once. Give it a shot. And if you hate it I’d be happy to hear your thoughts. Have a great night.
Totally in for everything you do! I will be honest and say vetiver and me just are like ice and fire (all I get is burnt wood and bitter smoke), so unfortunately Terre d'Hermes I just can't stand but obviously I highly respect its influence and timeless classic status. But hey, can't like 'em all! I'm sure some feel that way about a bunch of weird stuff I like. Still a faithful viewer even though at times I lurk in the shadows. ;) (edit: also Egypt is such a slept on masterpiece from Eight and Bob)
Dear justin. You have great style and love your videos. Great recommendatiins. One thing i will never buy is creed though: their business ethics and value for money makes this easy. There are so many other brands providing sililar scent profiles and are worth to support. Cannot understand why respectable content creators still to continue to promote them. Seems it still draws enough attention and clicks beyond niche snobs..
Thank you Lukas. I have no allegiance to Creed. But I do love Royal Oud. And in my eyes, as long as one buys from the grey market, they are not actually supporting Creed. But it’s totally fine if you don’t like their products!
@@stayfreshproductions dear justin. i absolutely trust you and your integrity. some of creed are classic, for sue excellent (royal oud. GIT, etc.) and they definitely made a huge impact on the fragrance game. we all have our approaches and reasons for it. respect for you and all!
Both are fairly linear but both are great as well. If you want the mouth watering feel on a warm or hot day Wu Long Cha, if you want the cooling blast like driving in a leather car drinking raspberry slushy that isn’t sweet, Russian Tea. Thats the best I can describe it. I own both.
Agree with the rest of the comments here, they’re so different that it’s hard to directly compare. Wulong Cha is obviously more mass appealing and versatile because of how fresh it is, but Russian Tea I much prefer myself because of how artistic/complex it is (plus I don’t really like the drydown for Wulong Cha). It’s a flip of the coin as to which you’ll prefer really, so definitely sample both if possible. 👍🏻
Why Just-In? I never knew you cared? 😢😮😢😮😢😮…I’m all shook up ⬆️! First, let’s hope that the “smoke” coming out of that Russian Tea ☕️ is REALLY steam, or steaming steamier than steam; but definitely NOT SMOKE 💨! Next, like you, some of your decided fans truly like what you recommend; but just not the way you recommend it. For example, why don’t you visit different climate regions and report from there what your reaction is to some of your favorites? You can thank me later 😅. Reason is that some of your decided fans live in very “oceanic” climate regions where fragrance is a totally different experience, more home-based and incredibly intimate. So much so that it really isn’t about what one wears outside as long as it’s not loud or too attracting to beguile some stray unwanted attention which could end up disastrously. Some of us can run as fast as we use to and if you’re having to deal with an unwanted stray you might end up “fried, dyed, and lying to the side”! It can be very dangerous to be using fragrance outside one’s home environment. Just saying…dig deep for the good stuff. 😊Thanks
I smell, therefore I am. It's that simple. I would be offended without that intro. :P ... I would think you'd be sick. I did sample Enclave once. Surprised mint could be like that. Very much liked it, confident it would grow beyond that, but on the other hand I don't need it right now.
I really dislike oud minerale. Its too strong and its not real oud. Although I’ve only tried the new version. For me the mixture of oud and ocean isn’t it.
Just remember that there is no hurry in this hobby, and if needed you can always save up for as long as it takes even to get a sample of a fragrance you are truly interested in!
I’ve got to say your ability to describe fragrances, their notes and overall feel is absolutely remarkable. You capture every fragrance beautifully in your words, it’s one of my favorite things about you!
Thank you Jason!
Gentle Fluidity Silver has become one of my signature scent because of your recommendation. Currently wearing it as my scent of the day!
What are the notes???
I’ve gotten many compliments from strangers while wearing GFS! Hands down my favorite fragrance that Justin has recommended.
I have tried Gentle Fluidity Silver, amazing fragrance, great video sir.
I love Amouage Enclave. Refreshing but also a bit dark in the resinous and leathery drydown. So good!
Agreed, definitely in my top 10
I want to like Eau Givree but I have tried on my wrist from the store at two different occasions now and I still just can't get over the bitter notes.
Much appreciation for the recommendations and ways to wisely grow my tastes and collection! Viewer from Sweden
No problem! Thank you!

Got enclave thanks to you. I LOVE that fragrance. So special.

I was not a huge fan of labyrinth of spices. But I have a full decant to experience and change my mind
Great video
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
I finally got eau givree and it’s an instant classic. It’s gonna be a summertime staple for years to come. Thank you.
Yeah, got Enclave and have been enjoying it so much that I haven't reported back. Best smelling fragrance I've ever got my nose on and I came to that judgement after unboxing and testing it before bed in 4/5 hours. Thanks again bro
👌🏾👌🏾
Yesterday I tried Terre d'Hermes Eau Givrée for the first time in a shop and I totally loved it !
I immediately bought it, also with a 25% discount, not Bad 😊
For a long time I struggled to find a good fragrance for the summer, now I finally have one thanks to you. Keep up the good work !
sampled gentle fluidity silver and loved it..patiently waiting over a year for it to pop up on discounters
just got my nose on MFK gentle Fluidity Silver and man oh man that is a pure banger! appreciate the content, really helps newcomers like me!
I actually used to have Russian Tea! It was amazing, but wasn't quite for me, and my husband didn't enjoy it 😢, so I ended up giving it to a good friend as a holiday gift. Said he loved it 😁
I totally understand!
Tried Enclave (ok but not mindlblowing) , Royal Oud (Green and old-school but elegant) , Eau Givree (fresh take on OG) , Gentle Fluidity silver (smells too designerish) ,declaration (smells very unique) For cooling fragrances i would choose Amouage's Beach Hut Man and Search (this smells rather odd to some people) . The best classy fresh for me is Roja's Izola Blue (ex Oligarch)
Silver is one of my favorites, it's just crazy expensive!
Love Egypt, underrated fragrance these days

Hey Ron! I’m glad you enjoy it
Interesting list! love Royal Oud and Enclave. I really need to get samples of Egypt and Labyrinth of Spices.
Love the Creed lineup. I have Aventus, Silver Mountain Water, & Viking. All are amazing!! I’m trying to decide on my 4th bottle. Definitely gonna sniff the Royal Oud. I’m leaning towards Green Irish Tweed.
Always happy to wear ADG profumo, lasts a good 8hrs + on my skin, love getting wiffs from the scent throughout the wearing experience
As Enclave gives you that “never regret putting this on” feeling, Blonde Amber by Clive Christian, amongst others, also gives me that uplifting feeling! The rum and spice are just 👌!

Trying to move my Eau Givree for cheap. Sprayed once. Enclave is wonderful for right now.
Dude, I have an Egypt sample and I was thinking it smells soo familiar and couldn't figure it out. Then it came to me, smells very close to 2nd Soul. Do you agree?
They definitely have some similar aspects as fougeres
I love most things Tom Ford... but the Oud Minerale is going to be an acquired taste. Smells like a burnt out campfire on the beach.... which I love... just not sure I want to smell like one...
Got and love Eau Givreè. A lot. The rest i am either concidering or saving for.. Except Creed. It's a principle thing😂
The OG oud mineral is soooo good, and lasts all day
Russian Tea is good. I love LV imagination and ive been in search of that Black Tea Note in a niche perfume. I think Russian Tea is close if not even better.

Totally not redundant vibes at between them!

Thank you!
There you go DR Copeland keep being confident of your taste, you really killing the game, keep saying it with confidence! Yes I have an accurate taste. Tell them TRUST MY TASTE!
Thank you!
@@stayfreshproductions always bro you killing it. Blessings
Would be cool to see you do a video on Aaron Terence Hughes' fragrances, if you can get some. He's a talented perfumer!
I’ve smelled a few! Need to revisit them
I got the Eau Givree and have yet to put it on yet because it's been so cold. Looking forward to trying it out
Awesome!
Gentle Fluidity Silver in my top 5😊
TOM FORD OUD Minerale, what can I say about this frag, it's the best, most beautiful aquatic fragrance I have tried. The dry down on this is so exquisite..
I bought a 50Ml of it, and loved it so much, I Immediately bought a 100Ml as well.
To me, the dry down smells how a rich Wall Street guy would smell coming out of his Lamborghini..
Couldn't agree more
I have a sample of oud minarale it’s so bad and stanky 💀
Got a bottle of Eau Givree on the way!
Love the video Justin. Would love to try Russian tea, Egypt and Labyrinth of spice. I did ask about Oud Mineral 2 months ago but it was not available, can't wait to try it. Eau Givree I love (tried it and got it after seeing your review) , prefer it over the original EDT (although that was a love at first sniff), I get the cooling effect and it stay the whole day. Gentle Fluidity Silver is lovely and I have my eye on it. Declaration I always thought the edt was too much cardamom, I have to revisit the EDP. Enclave is unique but the opening is too minty, I prefer beach hut, lineage, bracken man and Jubilation, but I think it deserves a full wearing, will probably get a sample. The only Creed that worked for me were Bois Portugal and Aventus (original), don't remember trying Royal Oud, Viking Cologne is ok. I always feel there perfumes are watered down. I haven't seen Dasein here in Dubai, but it does sound great.
Thank you for watching! I need to revisit Bois Du Portugal.
@@stayfreshproductions I think you'll like it..
the new oud minerale is amazing
Great video Justin !!! I do have a request, not that you’d make an entire off my request 😅 but I really want to get into the house of Amouage and I know they have a lot of offerings. I’ve been looking for content surrounding a Amougae buying guide but couldn’t find any. I know you’ve mentioned ‘Enclave’ so I do have that in the chamber. Could you possibly do an entire Amouge buying guide one day ?
Blessings!
Thank you! Great question. I can’t say I’m the definitive source on the entire house, but I did a video a few months ago rating my collection. I hope it can give you some more insight into some of the other offerings

I glad you brought up Dasein, I had them on my list and forgotten about them. And Egypt believe it or not, I have yet to try. My favorite is Nuit de Megeve from E&B. Reminds me of a few hard to get classics. Great list here. 👌
By the way, have you tried Russian Tea Oud yet? Looks interesting.
Thanks James! I haven’t tried the Oud flanker yet.
Your recommendations have steered me right many, many times. Russian Tea, Gentle Fluidity Silver, L’Humaniste, Pasha de Cartier Parfum, Beach Hut Man, Zaharoff Signature, Diaghilev, Burlington 1819… just to name a few off the top of my head. You sir, have impeccable taste.
Also, shoutout to Julien Rasquinet for having 3 of his creations in this list (Russian Tea, Enclave, Royal Oud). I know you also enjoy Creed Vetiver Geranium and BDK Tabac Rose, so good job Julien. He clearly knows what he’s doing. 🫡
Great point! Julien is wonderful. I recently shouted him out on IG and he appreciated it.
And thank you! I’m glad our tastes align!
Love the Creed Royal Oud even if it should be called Royal Cedar
I just went and bought all of these at full retail price 🙂 lol! Jkjkjk. I've tried several of these but I'm working on sampling more of them. Love enclave and gentle fluidity silver. Decant x is the place to be 🙂 so is this stay fresh crew. Loved the pun 🙂 LOL
Haha! Thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching
Dope list as usual 👍🏾
Appreciate that 🙏🏾
Love Oud mineral
Hey bud - long time! LOVE the intro with all it's drama. LOL Ur funny. :-) And I must say, after watching this video, I definitely have a few I need to add to my sample list. The last thing I would ever want is to drop off your fan list (i.e. A-list!) Hope all is well. Oh also....ENCLAVE for the WIN!!!!
Enclave!!
I actually sampled Royal Oud the other day and while it smells amazing it just didn't agree with my body chemistry
Justin please sample invasion Barbare I think it would have been a great addition to this list.which by the way is pretty awesome. I’ll have to revisit oud mineral I know I like the smell but didn’t find it to be something I wanted to wear but I’ll definitely check it out when I see it in the store
I’ve wanted to try it for years.
@@stayfreshproductions so what’s stopping you get a sample. Very classy wear. Opens with a muted grapefruit note but quickly transitions into a powdery lavender there is a dry unsweetened vanilla in the base. The tie in between all of these notes is a pale note of violet leaf that doesn’t blend with the other notes rather an off set or contrast that in my mind would appear as a grey blue dot on a painting that is otherwise white on white. It leans classic but the violet leaf adds a modern aspect. Definitely not a banger it’s much more of a grooming scent but when I do wear it I often get compliments and people never say you smell great but often say whatever your wearing smells beautiful. Id say for sure it is one of the few “masterpieces” in my collection. I’d also say it’s a fragrance any mature man in this hobby needs to experience at least once. Give it a shot. And if you hate it I’d be happy to hear your thoughts. Have a great night.
Great options 👍
Okok I get it. I'll buy that Terre D'Hermes
Man I love declaration parfum but my lady hates it. Unfortunate
What about Fresh Louis Vuitton fragrances Justin 🤷🏻♂️. have you tried them? Imagination is my top 1
I’ve tried a few of them!
Mate you got to try guerlain's neroli outrenoir
Done! Will definitely let you know
Totally in for everything you do! I will be honest and say vetiver and me just are like ice and fire (all I get is burnt wood and bitter smoke), so unfortunately Terre d'Hermes I just can't stand but obviously I highly respect its influence and timeless classic status. But hey, can't like 'em all! I'm sure some feel that way about a bunch of weird stuff I like. Still a faithful viewer even though at times I lurk in the shadows. ;) (edit: also Egypt is such a slept on masterpiece from Eight and Bob)
I understand!
I'm waiting for your next review nitro red and nitro platinum . Also nitro all
I’m not familiar with those
que sotd halfeti cedar 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 at 1:27 at video I know it's coming....stop bring up tea lol I gotta order it finally
😂
Man, idk what it is with Royal Oud but that's a case where none of the clones hold a candle to the original
Yep!
Enclave is top
Dear justin. You have great style and love your videos. Great recommendatiins. One thing i will never buy is creed though: their business ethics and value for money makes this easy. There are so many other brands providing sililar scent profiles and are worth to support. Cannot understand why respectable content creators still to continue to promote them. Seems it still draws enough attention and clicks beyond niche snobs..
Thank you Lukas. I have no allegiance to Creed. But I do love Royal Oud. And in my eyes, as long as one buys from the grey market, they are not actually supporting Creed. But it’s totally fine if you don’t like their products!
@@stayfreshproductions dear justin. i absolutely trust you and your integrity. some of creed are classic, for sue excellent (royal oud. GIT, etc.) and they definitely made a huge impact on the fragrance game. we all have our approaches and reasons for it. respect for you and all!
11:19 😂😂😂😂😂
Russian Tea or Wu Long Cha Justin?
Haven't tried Russian tea but Wu long Cha is so good mate
Wulong Chá is lemon ice tea, Russian tea is black tea with leather, so depend on what you like
Both are fairly linear but both are great as well. If you want the mouth watering feel on a warm or hot day Wu Long Cha, if you want the cooling blast like driving in a leather car drinking raspberry slushy that isn’t sweet, Russian Tea. Thats the best I can describe it. I own both.
Agree with the rest of the comments here, they’re so different that it’s hard to directly compare.
Wulong Cha is obviously more mass appealing and versatile because of how fresh it is, but Russian Tea I much prefer myself because of how artistic/complex it is (plus I don’t really like the drydown for Wulong Cha). It’s a flip of the coin as to which you’ll prefer really, so definitely sample both if possible. 👍🏻
That’s right, too different to compare!
So glad I got a decant of Declaration Parfum, 10 seconds in it turns into pure cumin on me. Love the line, just not that one...
Why Just-In? I never knew you cared? 😢😮😢😮😢😮…I’m all shook up ⬆️! First, let’s hope that the “smoke” coming out of that Russian Tea ☕️ is REALLY steam, or steaming steamier than steam; but definitely NOT SMOKE 💨!
Next, like you, some of your decided fans truly like what you recommend; but just not the way you recommend it. For example, why don’t you visit different climate regions and report from there what your reaction is to some of your favorites? You can thank me later 😅. Reason is that some of your decided fans live in very “oceanic” climate regions where fragrance is a totally different experience, more home-based and incredibly intimate. So much so that it really isn’t about what one wears outside as long as it’s not loud or too attracting to beguile some stray unwanted attention which could end up disastrously. Some of us can run as fast as we use to and if you’re having to deal with an unwanted stray you might end up “fried, dyed, and lying to the side”! It can be very dangerous to be using fragrance outside one’s home environment. Just saying…dig deep for the good stuff. 😊Thanks

Amouge Enclave smells exactly like every dentists office in the UK
Those are some good-smelling dentist offices
I smell, therefore I am. It's that simple. I would be offended without that intro. :P ... I would think you'd be sick. I did sample Enclave once. Surprised mint could be like that. Very much liked it, confident it would grow beyond that, but on the other hand I don't need it right now.
I really dislike oud minerale. Its too strong and its not real oud. Although I’ve only tried the new version. For me the mixture of oud and ocean isn’t it.
haven't brought up Stephan lucas
Jus have you tried god of fire or crying of evil from the house?
Well, who doesn’t want to try them out, but that requires💰and sadly, not all of us have it 😢
Just remember that there is no hurry in this hobby, and if needed you can always save up for as long as it takes even to get a sample of a fragrance you are truly interested in!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us and helping us choose the best. Keep up the great work! Best wishes from 🇮🇳
