This is why I call you Godfather!!! Honesty, transparency, upfront, no bull, raw TRUTH!! You have always told your audience to use our own nose and to choose a fragrance wisely. I myself ignored this release because I'm aware now of all the lies in these UA-cam streets when it comes to hyped fragrances. And for 150.00 I would rather buy a good niche for that price before I buy a sub par designer fragrance that's not worth it. Thank you Godfather I really enjoyed this review🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽.
These prices honestly are a big reason I'm being a little harder on these designer scents now. When they were sub 100 and you could buy 2 new designers vs 1 niche it made it easier to pull the trigger.
Only problem I have is he focuses too much on other people. He spends most of the time talking about “influencers” instead of just reviewing and giving his own opinion at the ends of all his videos I don’t know how the fragrance is all I know is influencers are no good.
Thank you for being honest about this scent. It was going to be on my summer purchased list, but you stated it would be $150 and not worth the price. So I will wait until it hits discounters instead.
@@robes08 that’s about $110 usd. Yea I think that is a little steep for a Le Beau JPG designer at the moment. Under $100 would be ideal. Can’t wait for your full review.
Thanks for the honest take. I have this coming in next week, looking forward to comparing how you felt. With Le Beau Le Parfum i felt the same way you did, loved the opening then quickly disappeared. Tried to like it but something just didnt click
The best Quentin Bish fragrance is Amouage Purpose, beast mode in every possible way and very well blended and structured, would like to see you review it when u have a chance, keep it rocking Marc!
Cheers Marc, I had positive expectations for this green release,as I feel most green fragrances age not too age specific, but my trepidation of it being a Q.B. And a big price tag for mundane ingredients and this line have been exposed extremely honest and on point by your good self. Great job much appreciated man 🙏✌️👍
The note breakdown had such promise with fig, mint, coconut but sadly the mint is so minimal, the coconut toned down for the original and the fig is almost candied (such a weird note, not sure why bisch didn't decided to use a true fig leaf note as it's readily available). On to the next..
@@robes08 candied fig just turns it into something other than a green left field flanker for me ,disappointed Marc was kinda hoping it would renew my interest in the house and I nearly blind bought it only for you fast purchase and review bravo brother 🙏👍
I ordered a sample,but in the meantime I found a bottle for $121 & blind bought it.The sample arrived,I over sprayed it & my wife about three me out of the room.She hated it & stated I hope you didn’t buy a full bottle.Needless to say,I wished I could have viewed your video ….. You describe my sentiments precisely…….Moral of the story,I need to stop viewing the UA-cam influencers,and tune in to your channel first!!💥💥🔥🔥.
Lol, next time, it's probably best to wait until the sample arrives. FOMO is a real thing, don't worry on missing out on new releases they will be around for at least 6 months.
JPG will catch a spike in sales launching these just before spring starts. I got a decant, best in the line…but it’s not a line I particularly enjoy. I haven’t gotten to enjoy much fig-based fragrances yet…I’ll have to look into the MJ one you mentioned. Thanks Marc
Marc Jacobs Man is an excellent fig sadly it's probably around $200 a bottle online now because of discontinuation. Might as well go niche with Philosykos.
le beau smells good, how does that one smells compared to the le parfum and is that one very manly... Ultra male is my favorite becasue its unisex and sweet like candy which i have along with Classique X
Marc this brand and I long since parted. I love my vintage Le Male but the brand is targeting young guys who shop at the mall and the quality and style of the newer scents just aren’t my thing anymore. But I still wear my mid 2000s bottle of Le Male in spring
I agree Panda, I was actually looking at my wearings of the brand and saw that the OG, Fleur du Male and Gaultier2 are the ones I've been reaching for. All older releases.
Its Le Beau EDT minus 50% coconut... thats all.... Quentin Bisch take Le Beau and add 1/4 Kenzo EDP... Performance is like a BEAST... JPG ELIXIR is still KING no doubt..
Disappointing. I was looking forward to trying this one, but now , not sure. Had higher hopes for this over LeMale Lover, which I hadn't planned on getting. Thanks for the great videos and helping out with my fragrance journey.
Are you sure you have enough Le Male Elixir on the shelf to your left?! Did you spray Paradise Garden before this video? At 4:28, that spray was perfect indicating the bottle had been sprayed before. Where did you pick up a tester? Since this was supposed to be an unboxing video and Puig doesn’t use formula codes, it would have been nice if you mentioned the batch code and had given us a screen shot of the ingredients on the can for future reference in case of reformulation.
Definitely gotta get those youngsters buyin' buyin' buyin'. With an entire generation now heading into retirement, I suppose I can understand the push to appeal to the kids. The unfortunate irony is that despite the amount of choice out there now, homogenization has become the new gold standard and a breeding ground for uncultured nescience. Can't fault the brands for going after what sells. To quote Kent Brockman, "Now at the risk of being unpopular, this reporter places the blame for all this squarely on YOU, THE VIEWERS." 🤣
I'm just surprised at price now of these designer scents. They used to target the 50-100 dollar section now its 100-200 market and the quality has not gone up with it. I recall when Chanel was the only one with scents over 150 for big bottles.
Bisch isn't very good honestly. Once you really start going into this hobby and see perfumery and noses and what they do and the talent. You'll see what I mean.
I'm just being honest, I don't look for co-signs in the comments. Positive thoughts on the fragrance are always welcomed in the comments section. As for the comments section, my channel caters to a different side of the fragrance community and it shows when I review a sub par release. Hope that clarifies.
and im telling the people that are getting swindled into paying $250+ for niche frags for compliments, a woman (or man) 9 out of 10 times will complement a JPG frag over something from Xerjoff or PDM. People simply do not care and do not have the nose for high profile scents so make sure you are buying it for yourself and not for "compliments" Ive been collecting fragrences as long as the dude in the video so mid 90s he's just being pretentious with it

It was on fragrancebuy the other day and was around 150 CAD at a discounter... pricey

Awesome review my friend. Love to see your take on these new designer releases. Keep them coming.
More to come! Thank you Leo for commenting, love seeing your name recently.
Keeping it real Marc. Your thoughts are pretty much what I expected from this release
I had some hope for this one to be honest with the note breakdown. It happens!
Thanks for the honest take. I have this coming in next week, looking forward to comparing how you felt. With Le Beau Le Parfum i felt the same way you did, loved the opening then quickly disappeared. Tried to like it but something just didnt click
Hopefully you enjoy it when it comes in.
Appreciate your take on this. Honesty is the best policy.

What are some good quality and less synthetic designers that have been released in the last few years?
Hi Marc, great video! I would like to know your opinion about Kenzo homme intense edt.
I haven't checked it out to be honest, I hear this one is close which would be great as the Kenzo pricing is much better than JPG.
I just got this last week and I love it. But I also love coconut fragrances
Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day!
Thanks for honest reviews!!!
My pleasure 😊
Had me excited at fig! In all honesty, should I just stick with Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi?
Fico kills this. Just kills it.

@@robes08 good call, appreciate the advice

JPG was never a premium designer brand in my book 😢
true but they are acting like Armani lately with pricing. I feel like they are pricing themselves out of what they can actually do.
Cashing in on fancy bottles 😞
JPG was and is mediocre at best 💩
Why?
30k bottles? You are def a 🐐 collector with compelling analysis.
ha not 30K lol damn, I'm on the 3K kick and it fills a pretty big room.
@@robes08 I can only imagine...🥰

Tried this one , nothing special nothing new smells okey. Great review my friend 👍
Thanks for watching!
would be interesting to see a new top 100 frags imo
that's a time consuming feat, there would be several new additions tho.
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Thank you! You too!
Its Le Beau EDT minus 50% coconut... thats all.... Quentin Bisch take Le Beau and add 1/4 Kenzo EDP...
Performance is like a BEAST...
JPG ELIXIR is still KING no doubt..
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on it!
A+++ Reviewer
Appreciate it!
Not to be redundant in the comments, but isn't there a Ferragamo fragrance that emphasizes fig? Which one is it, and is it any good?
Yes, the POUR Homme but I haven't smelled it.
Everything you said is true brother 🙏🏼
I'm just sharing my thoughts. Some are facts, and some are opinions,.but overall you get my truth.
The opening is not that bad but the drydown has a weird fruity kind of note that will only be appreciated by fruit fly's.
😄
Am i seeing 3 bottles of la male elixir on the shelf??
you are, I split them.
Disappointing. I was looking forward to trying this one, but now , not sure. Had higher hopes for this over LeMale Lover, which I hadn't planned on getting. Thanks for the great videos and helping out with my fragrance journey.
Always here to give my take, don't let me damper the party for your expectations. Perhaps sample and you may enjoy it!
I wouldn't pay for it even if it costs $10, again great presentation, just not for me. Thanks for the Unboxing Marc!!!
😁 your comment made me laugh
Are you sure you have enough Le Male Elixir on the shelf to your left?! Did you spray Paradise Garden before this video? At 4:28, that spray was perfect indicating the bottle had been sprayed before. Where did you pick up a tester?

Yes, no. Batch codes can be seen on Gents Scents. Thanks for watching.
I also thought about marc jacobs. I rather wear that one for sure.
💯
What in it makes it smell like pickles? To me its horrible. The edt is way way wayyyyy better to me.
So maybe "Born in Roma Green Stravaganza" better?
I wouldn't bet on that to be honest. I would probably think they will both be on par with each other in quality.
@@robes08 Thank you very much. 👍👍👍, Awesome video! Buddy.
The only Le Male I enjoy besides the OG is Le Parfum. Everything else is a hard pass for me
you're on point for that comment.
Hot take: The only Quentin Bisch frag even remotely decent is Ganymede.
I do need to take a look at his resume and see what else he's done. Lately it hasn't been good.

Talking shit about Quentin Bisch is WILD af. Paradise Garden is unique and good you just trippin, even Le Beau Le Parfum is fantastic.
Bisch isn't very good honestly. Once you really start going into this hobby and see perfumery and noses and what they do and the talent. You'll see what I mean.
What the heck, the reviewer clearly doesnt like and coincidentally most if not all the comments are negative? Talk about emotional contagion 🤦🏽

People can buy 10 dollar Curve for compliments. If you are buying fragrance for compliments, you're doing it wrong.
Helluva hype purchase to ultimately NOT like.Sample first...
Sample first with everything.
Warning smells like toilet duck and alpine air freshener with touch of fruit wth? Massive flop 👎
I'm with you but I don't think it's THAT bad lol but you gave me a laugh.
JPG has never made a good fragrance.
I disagree and try to give them some props with Gaultier2, Fleur du Male and the OG Le Male. Those were solid.
Robes, Le Male Le Parfum is great in my opinion!
