I really appreciate the way you break down the notes . Nice to associate what we are smelling by the raw ingredients. I doubt these days there is much of a correlation with anything natural but I would hope the higher end brands do use extractions and distillates of natural substances as opposed to aroma chemicals created in a lab.
Bois imperial...very masculine like grey vetiver and longer lasting and cheaper. This is a beast in cold outdoor temp - it just projects in the cold weather, but not so indoors so very safe for office.
Ala noir a La extreme! I’m going to buy this soon. Great description and it sounds as if I’ll like it. $21 US from various discounters, $28 max. A great frag for that price, and it’s not a knockoff, I’d say that’s a win.
Thanks Stuart. I was looking for some ideas for job related fragrances lately. Some of these I have. Some I have to try. That Azzaro looks interesting for winter. Stay warm. Cheers !
It does not project because it is an elegant fragrance and it does not need to hit people over the head. It projects just the right amount IMO but of course we all gravitate to what suits us best. I am only stating this because use someone needs to stand up for fragrances that are low projectors with good longevity.

Great assessment of Hermes!!! Outstanding perfumery!!!
Love a good fresh and clean fragrance when I smell one.

Blue or white collar, you're well-spoken and knowledgeable. Spot on recommendations, Stuart 👍👌.
Versace and Hermes. Have both. Good chance will add Azzaro. But the first two are warm weather. More so with H24.
5 out of 8 for me if I count the original scent rather than the flanker. My highest score yet!
Your creativity in fragrances is excellent. Do a list of "Winter Insense Gems that demand attention." E.g. The Blue Beast
hey dude, glad to see another Canadian with a fragrance channel... and I like your take on things. You have good taste.

To add a few more, Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, Prada L’Homme, Dior Eau Savage,
Stuart happy Tuesday & thanks for the new video. Some of the ingredients in these scents would not go amiss as exotic mixers in cocktails

Good video! Always learn something watching.thanks.
Loved as always Stuart
Agreed that Lalique Encre Noire L'Extreme is compelling. I consider it the Ying to SJP Stash's Yang. Nice.
👍👍
Encre noire Ala Xtreme smells to me like a plywood furniture stained with varnish, unappealing to me - that's the vibe I get.
L'envol is luxurious. But it doesn't project. I don't regret buying it though.

Since I don't "work" anymore, I wear what I want. IDGAF attitude couples well to accentuate and enhance any fragrance in work and play. Cheers.
I had Gucci Rush when it came out. Smelled great at time of application but evaporates to nothing almost instantly. Don't dare spend any amount on it.
Herbes Vives is too green for me. Smells literally like you were just out of the woods. The EDP is the perfect one.
Why do you show the assisted care facility when referring to blue color workers? 😂
