    i just bought ADP Colonia Essenza from your reccomendation a few vids back. Having TF Neroli Portofino as well, i can say that the ingredients in Colonia Essenza smell way richer and natural especially the neroli note and that the ADP lasts 5-6 more hours than the Neroli Portofino. Overall great advice Omar, as always

    Excellent, timely list. I’m really picky about the frags I wear in the summer. I’m a big fan of Xerjoff’s 40 Knots, Nio and Torino 21. Also, Hacivat’s Nishane (big compliment getter on me). I have heard twice from Sebastian about Jaymes; your rec seals the deal for a sample. Thank you!

    This is incredible. Half a year ago, I hesitated a lot whether to buy Mancera Cedrat Boise Intense, and that very day you posted a video where you can buy that perfume at Notino at a good price, and I bought it, I love it. Yesterday I was very hesitant to buy Nishane Hacivat, today I smell the test paper again and I'm thinking if I should buy and you release this video. Guess what? I bought it.🍻

    I love that Ormonde Jayne - indeed a few of them I’d rate 10/10, including that one (Montabaco Intensivo). They have many, many I haven’t tried … but so far - at the danger of being overly basic, perhaps - Ormonde Man is my favorite.

    I gotta say, I wasn't in love with 40 Knots in the beginning, but the more I smelled it the more I liked it. It's a really good one. My girlfriend eats me alive when I wear it. And I totally agree, two sprays is enough indeed. I got myself a bottle of Percival, because it's such an inoffensive, well-rounded scent. I really need that sometimes. You can grab it for any occasion as well. It's currently my most worn fragrance.

    Beware of new batch Nishane Hacivat
    One month ago I was at Havalimani Istanbul Airport waiting for my flight and I came acros Nishane duty free store and bought 100 ml Hacivat from them.
    It comes with new packaging and new type batch number . It contains only 6 digits number now and it came with beige colour sleve instead black and white striped.
    I use to have Hacivat and still have a decant from a year and half ago and the new bottle is not at all the same regarding the performance. It is not oily like it use to be and it is vanished within one hour mark, not a single whaft of skin scent at all. I tried another time after smelling a fresh coffee bean and it is just gone after one hour.
    I put a spray on my left wrist from a decant that I have years ago and on my right wrist the new Hacivat. On the left stil projecting strong with a thick oily marks on it and on my right wrist is gone nowhere to smell, nothing. I did this on one hour mark, 2 hour mark and 3 hour mark to show you that I dont go nose blind . My decant smell and project like a beast still
    As for now I would just let this parfume mature and see what happen next few month but I have a low expectection on this as another buyer from another forum did this too and having the same performance problem and nothing change after let it sit after few months.
    If you like to buy this , buy the older batch not from the new one or you just throwing your hard earned money on the drain.
    Nishane , shame on you.. you charge premium money and yet you give us a garbage quality

    What a great list, I would also have to put in TDH Eau Givree though.

      @@SchoolOfScent You never said anything about this being a video on niche fragrances only........besides the very title of your video lol. Sorry about that. Just curious, have you tried French Defense by Mind Games? I'm normally not a fan of cherry scents but this is incredible IMO.

    I own and love Burlington1819 as it just screams sophistication with its grapefruit and cumin combo. Its a freshie that has relative performance which justifies the price tag when combined with that awesome masculine scent
