Absolutely in love With Myself By YSL. I've only just started exploring different scents and this one for me was the first immediate bottle purchase after trying it. Phantom by Paco Rabanne has been a great fall/winter scent also.
Is that the order of your favorite? Because you do not talk very highly of Le Male Elixer, but talk highly of Tumi 19 Degree but up Le Male in front of Tumi. What is your top out of all of them?
It’s funny you don’t like explorer because i think it’s the best one out of all the clones and actually it’s not a clone which I’m happy it’s not. It goes its own way. I’ve had all the clones from CDNIM to Afnan and so on. Everytime im out at a bar or restaurant I have had women compliment me on explorer. All the other fragrances, not a single compliment.
Someone (*hint hint) should make a video highlighting some of the best masculine fresh/versatile fragrances WITHOUT ambroxan. This would be immensely useful for someone like me who is extremely sensitive to ambroxan and find too often that fragrances will include it without listing it in the ingredients/notes. This screechy and abrasive note completely ruins a fragrance for me and I know there are others out there in the same boat :)
I just Got Victory Elixir within the last couple of weeks & Wow!! It smells ok off a strip for me & just pops off skin for me. So glad I gave an Invictus scent a chance. & btw MYSLF is sooo basic it just works haha! I get constantly asked what it is or told how amazing it smells. Incredibly simple yet awesome!! 😎
Happy new Year! Having tried almost all the new designer releases i would like to share my thoughts: Le male elixir smells very close to first batch of ultramale. Gucci guilty elixir smells on the opening similar to Amouage Reflection man but the drydown of Gucci smells way too cheap and for 160 Euros /60 ml i would pick Reflection Man each and every day, I very much liked the new Aventus but its longevity holds me back to invest 320 Euros for somthing that lasts 3-4 hours max
See, this is a perfect example of how fragrances work differently for people. I can't, in any way, see a similarity between Gucci Guilt Elixir and Reflection Man. They only share like two notes, but smell completely different to me. Having said that, I would also pick Reflection Man.
I picked up Ralph’s Club Elixir for $98 from a Macys one day sale! It’s my current signature scent! 2 sprays lasts all work day! Manly, woody and highly complimented! YSL Myself for a strong 2nd place! You’re correct! Woman love the stuff!
Pasha De Cartier Noir Absolu smells nice, but has performance that’s even worse than D&G the one. Last 2 hours if you’re lucky. Althair is a big hit for me. On rotation with Gris Charnel Extrait, Ambre Tabac and Naxos.
@@rd5469 I finally broke down and tried Guilty Elixir at Dillard's. It was pleasant enough but wouldn't have added anything new to what I already had. It wasn't memorable to me and my wife was like, it's ok, but nothing special.
Just the other day I commented how I was pleasantly surprised that despite disliking Explorer I noticed much love for Explorer Platinum and now this is explained! Happy New Year, Erica!
Happy New Year may God bless you with your hearts desires When you did the first impression of Gucci guilty elixir, I went out and bought it and it’s my favorite. I have to buy another bottle but I definitely need to check out some more stuff from this list
Erica we have the same sense of smell, in my opinion 'Myslf' has an amazing scent and 'Mont blanc explorer Platinum' is so good. Happy new year lovely Erica 😍 ❤ 🔥 💯
HNY. My favorite 2023 release was TF Noir Extreme Parfum. My favorite purchase was Encens Suave.
Currently i have le male elixir, victory elixir & PDM Althair. Great winter fragrances, le male elixir is impossible to find in europe!
Happy New Year Erica! ❤ I can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store. May 2024 bring you much more success to you and to your channel!! 🍾🥳🎉
I think JPG Elixir is worth the hype. They haven’t released anything as hype worthy since the original Le Male in its day.
lol ive been waiting on you to do the Tumi. I knew you would like it.
Nailed it
Was gonna buy Ralph's Club Elixir cuz of the great opening it has, but then it dries down to a hampster cage 😕😕😕. That was the end of that
LE MALE ELIXIR ITS MY FAV FROM 22/23..... SEXYYYYYYY🙄🙄🙄🔥🔥🔥
You tell them girl,....Happy New Year...🎉💥💯
Great picks indeed. Happy New Year 2024.cheers ❤️👍🎄⛄️❄️
TBH Nothing impressive this year

I recommend you to try the phantom intense

I'd put Jubilation 40 on this list along with Guerlain's: Tobacco Honey, Platine Prive, and Habit Rouge Rouge Prive.
Great video as always! Happy New Years Erica! Hope much more success on your channel in 2024!
Not having boss bottled elixir here is a crime or valentino born in roma intense is a crime.
Erica, you are the product not the fragrance

@@jimlittle5769I get it, but personally, it reminds me much more of Pegasus mixed with a fougere.
@@jimlittle5769 THERE IS NO SUCH "BEST" SCENT.... BEST SCENT ITS D ONE YOU FEEL SEXY & ENJOY THE MOST... LAYTON ITS MY #1 & LE MALE ELIXIR #2🙄🔥🔥🔥

Hows the projection ?
love Frag-mental
This video was the reason I went out and got Tumi and man I'm so happy I did. Even at full price. Thanks Erica.

Need to try Ralph's club elixir, have and love Gucci guilty elixir
I have both. Those two are bangers!!
I don’t know how anyone can like Gucci Guilty Elixer.
@@rd5469 not for everyone I suppose, I really enjoy it, slight similarities to two other fragrances I have and also love.
@@rd5469 I finally broke down and tried Guilty Elixir at Dillard's. It was pleasant enough but wouldn't have added anything new to what I already had. It wasn't memorable to me and my wife was like, it's ok, but nothing special.
I'm glad you love Gucci Guilty Elixir. It's awesome. Like a more masculine Pegasus to me.
Hi ! Happy new year 2024 . What are your 5 favorite fresh fragrances for men and your 5 favorite fragrances for men for a romantic first date?
People don't hate on aventus absolu, but it's price which is hugely infalted.
Not sure I would admit to wearing a fragrance called feces of Frances. Who names these things?
Have you tried juniper sling by Penhaligon? If so what do you think of it
Just the other day I commented how I was pleasantly surprised that despite disliking Explorer I noticed much love for Explorer Platinum and now this is explained! Happy New Year, Erica!
Where do you get you fragrances from.? I pick up the explorer platinum macy’s for over 100 bucks. 😢
I always link everything I talk about in the description! I have the 100ml of platinum linked in the description for $52
Happy New Year may God bless you with your hearts desires

Absolu Aventus is my favorite Aventus as well, and my wife loves it even more. For her, it's top 3 in my collection.
You didn't like anything from Nishane's X line?
