#1 10/10 niche fragrance for me is the Spring King- Green Irish Tweed. Projection, longevity, compliments. #2 for me is an Amouage fragrance that doesn't get much love- Beach Hut Man.
Fabulous choices Chris. Thank you for the very unexpected shout-out!
Here are mine:
1.) Creed Aventus
2.) Creed Erolfa
3.) Bond No. 9 Bleecker Street
4.) Parfums de Marly Nisean
5.) Parfums de Marly Galloway
6.) Parfums de Marly Pegasus
7.) Parfums de Marly Layton Exclusif
8.) Parfums de Marly Percival
9.) Amouage Reflection Man
10.) Nishane Vetiver
I figured it would be best to visit your house often, so I can spray away some niche without breaking the bank.
Thank you so much for the video, Chris!
Really good list Chris. I’ve never really been sold on Creed’s Viking, but the general quality of your selection has me wanting to get my nose on the ones I don’t own (namely Pardon and the Argos fragrance). Thank-you!
Great content as always my man, I'll have to give Oud For Greatness another try. I can't really nail down just one 10 out of 10 niche fragrance without giving you a few others so here's mine: Nasomatto Baraonda, Oud Satin Mood, Mancera Red Tobacco and Instant Crush, Herod and Carlisle, Xerjoff Naxos, Silver Mountain Water and Amouage Reflection Man
Solid list so far my brotha.Always fire choices up in here.Proceeds to watch as I grab my popcorn 🍿🍿🍿
lol Dijaredoo. Just got a Viking sample and yeah, think I’ll have to pick that one up. It has a cooling effect like you would get from shave cream. Kind of even smells like a spicy shave cream. Just picked up Initio OFG and have Herod on the way! I love how the mail looks these days.
Want them all! Great list, Chris!
Great list! Lately I've been obsessed with Initio Oud For Greatness, Nasomatto Pardon, Nishane Hacivat, Kilian Straight To Heaven Extreme, T. Terenzi Spirito Fiorentino, Marc Antoine Barois Ganymede, Jovoy Private Label, Jovoy Psychedelique, Dior Ambre Nuit, Xerjoff Alexandria II. Keep the videos coming 🥃🍻
Whats terenzi spirito fiorentino like? Close to pulling the trigger on that
Great list btw! Pardon is amazing & really want to try ganymede
Need to add some Roja Dove great list!!
Love your insight. My 10/10 cologne is Himalaya from the house of Creed. It takes me back to a place and time back home in Washington DC. I too also love Viking. It reminds me of getting a fresh haircut at the barber shop as a young man. Not so much Old Spice but a well done Bay Rum scent.
Enjoyed Brother, BANGER LIST 🔥🔥🔥
So many frag chats in Australia love your videos. You are a class act.
Deh-jer-ee-doo, Chris. Your content is the best. ✊🏽
Chris all of these fragances are game over... I have some of these. Nice vídeo and choices., Regards from Portugal. 👍👌
Great list Chris .!ove all my PDM’s
this was much easier than the designer version, i think because these were just clear 10/10 whereas for the designers i had to ponder is it really 10/10 anyway to the list
1 xerjoff rich wood this is my holly grail scent, its i am pretty sure the most expensive scent in my collection- rich wood smell well like rich wood its a mysor sandalwood with a gorgeous rose note a semi chocolatey, semi earthy patchouli , its just so luxurious it a panthy dropper , its versatile as hell, yes the price is challenging, but this is the best sandalwood fragrance on the market in my humble opinion
2 lartisan perfumier noir exquis i can best describe this as the love child of bond no9 new haarlam and replica by the fire place- its gourmand gem , really well priced, it has notes of coffee, maple syrup, chestnut, orange blossom, vanilla , tonka and ebony wood, which gives it a unique edge.
3 eldo like this this a new arrival in the collection but it deserves to be here to put it simply it smells like a pumpkin spice latte its fall in a bottle and it was done in collab with Tilda Sweden , which i think is cool
4 amouage dia man , amouage is my favourite house, dia is my favourite amouage i heard someone describe it as jubilation and reflection mixed together, i think that is mostly accurate , how i would describe it is as the most delectable vetiver scent with notes of plum, incense , vetiver and ylang-ylang i, its signature scent worthy, it is a hidden gem, great more for me
5 bond no9 manhattan this is a mind-blowing gourmand its head turning it has peach, plum, saffron, coriander, jasmine, patchouli, honey, gingerbread, caramel, suede in the base the gingerbread reminds me of a christmas market, when the wind carries this the sillage is 3-4 feet its a conversation starter, also somewhat underrated
6 by Kilian bamboo harmony - this smells like a japanese stone garden, i mostly got it because it reminds me of my trip to Japan, plus it is incredibly calming it has notes of bamboo, which is photorealistic smelling, it also has fig leafs, neroli and tea it is clean and calming and it just helps you focus
7 creed viking it just smells like a boss , or how i imagined a boss would smell like , its an amazing confidence booster
8 bois 1920 verde di mare this is here primarily for nostalgic purposes it reminds me of my childhood , but what it smells like the Mediterranian shore in late spring it is a salty aquatic but it has a lot going on there is tea, rose , even juniper berry
9 mancera wild cherry this is a more affordable , i would say better, alternative to TF lost cherry it smells like a cherry pie with vanilla ice-cream performance is amazing ,
10 guerlain iris ganache its sad that this masterpiece is really difficult to find now, but i manage to procure a partial what this is iris and white choclate and the guelinard accord and its just heavenly
Hi, Chris.
It's really hard to pick just ONE fragrance. So here is my list (in no particular order):
Xerjoff Naxos
Creed Viking
PdM Herod
Amouage Interlude Man
Initio Oud for Greatness
Diptyque Vetyverio EDP
Creed Green Irish Tweed
Great video! Roja's fragrances always intrigue me! 10/10 video 💯
Thanks, they're super high quality. True luxury!
Great video and list Chris! I absolutely adore Creed Viking. And, since it’s getting warmer and warmer here in the states, it’s about time to break out some Acqua Di Parma. Oh, and uh...”Didgeridoo”. As in...didgeridoo you play an instrument? I’m a drummer myself. Be well Chris!
This video has just helped me settle on ADP Essenza as my first niche fragrance!
Essenes was my first niche, I don’t find it lasts long though :((
Chris, fantastic video. Hopefully I can get enough niche fragrances in the future to do a list video like this one! Cheers
I hope so too!
Enjoy your channel a lot. Keep up the great work.
Great list and I enjoyed it and i like andy tauer air de marocain and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day
Excellent video! Anytime i see 10/10 Ill always find those worth sampling
Thanks a lot for this amazing video and other amazing videos!
Aaaassand, Didgeridooooo!
Gorgeous List Chris!! 👌🖤❤️
Another great video!
Hell yeah Viking! Great picks, Chris.
Edit: My second 10/10 fragrance at the moment is Tobacco Vanille.
I love TV. I'll be buying it at some point.
Enigma is fascinating. I just bought it, and was shocked by the heliotrope blast in the opening. It was a shock to get that floral, citrus vibe drying down into the boozy, smooth vanilla. Unlike anything I've ever smelled.
100% agree. Have all but Argo but can totally agree on the rest.
I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND the "damp earth" reference in terms of unusually pleasant smells...when I lived in the country, I was so drawn to the combination of hay , apple blossoms and cow manure wafting from one of the local farm ...can you imagine?
Another great video Chris to keep us going during these interesting time's. One you have to try if you've not tried already is Halfeti by Penhaligons, I've never smelt anything like this my number 1 signature scent absolutely stunning. Ps how's your fragrance coming along?
Thank you! Finally someone else who loves Viking.
Well, excellent video, end is the most funny and natural at all time Chris, and I again from 01 to 10 give you a 12!!!!!
So, you tell as soooooo many information, and I can tell you that I have only one Aqua di Parma, Colonia Club and I found its gorgeous scent!
For others, I must watching again your video, and one by one tell you what is my opinion!
At the end this time, I agree with you, choose ten something in sooo rich world is wery difficult and heavy work, find 10 THE BEST!!!!!
In few days I take my complete review your video, but now I can tell just this, excellent work dude!!!!!
Thanks so much🙏
Had a feeling the Andy Tauer was in here, my decant needs to be a full bottle. Such a varied and very enviable list, beautifully refined. That Initio bottle is a stunning bottle, sounds a wonderful scent profile. Very excited to receive my first Marly fragrance soon, Marcus is top class. Sounds like a Viking Longhorn perfect sound effect
Yes Marcus receives high praise from all those that have ordered from him.
“The Tingles” 😆 always enjoy your reviews! 👍
Just one 10/10 niche. hmmm. Ani from Nishane. or GIT from Creed. or Fougere Royal from Houbigant. or Cedrat Boise from Mancera. all 10/10s. But your list has some intriguing entries, Chris! TY
Finally a little bit of appreciation for Colonia Essenza
You could do 10/10 fragrance types niche additions... date, night, spring, summer, and so on and so on....
Loved the last part😅😂😂 typicall!!
I decided to sample Enigma Cologne in the recent heat. The projection is no joke! It completely chocked me out but wow what a beauty it is. I am getting a bottle when it gets colder.
Enigma is horrible, don’t understand the praise it gets, i got a sample of it and everyone in my family all thought it smelled horrible aswell
No need to apologize chris. Your videos are great and I was thinking you were going to put a bortnikoff in this list. But a great list
Great choices and food for thought, Sandalwood by Geo. F Trumper is my personal favourite, perhaps you could do a future video on the Trumper range, there's some really good ones in there, thanks.
Ohhh gawwwwd I hate that - everything's quiet until the work begins. Props for your didgeridoo patience Chris. I always felt like M&W's Tabac was the niche version of Old Spice though. How about a review? Dirt cheap classic powdery aftershave scent with tobacco, lavender and oakmoss. Would recommend either the vintage aftershave or the current edc. Always wanted to try the Fire Power version too....
autum and winter. Hahaha. I live in Louisiana and our 4 seasons are summer, summer, summer, hunting season. I have to agree with you on Enigma. I have the PC and Parfum. It's a 20/10
Didgeridoo Chris fascinating list just bought another bottle of ADP Essenza beautiful fragrance timeless and elegant. Thank you
Glad Viking got some love it’s amazing
Very good list, I find some parfums that I never heard before.
Got a bottle of Desert Morocain after watching this vid. Absolutely adore it. MAsterpiece.
There's only a couple here that I haven't tried, but I absolutely agree with all the rest. Great video! 💯🔥🔥🔥
Cheers Nick👍🏻
Great list, my all time favorite fragrance is creed royal oud
There's an ancient prophecy that speaks of a cataclysmic event: fragrance reviewers will finally pronounce French perfume names correctly. Just joking around XD, great video as always, Chris.
Prophecies never come true!
Then you have dudes like Jeremy that attempts to pronounce everything “French” like the way he says Prada...lmao.
@@FRAGMENTAL Hey since I figured you were good at this frag game I'm faced with a delema. I need to figure out if there's ungaro pour l'homme III how it smells really musky and thick didn't like it. While the one I thought I remembered smelling was a completely different fragrance and I loved it
The one I smelled that was Ungaro Pour L'Homme III smelled really airy and sharp, not musky at all. It was a different fragrance. The two I've smelt thus far are the musky version.
Do you know if there's a sharp version that I'm trying to discribe?
@@FRAGMENTAL they have and they always do
Really good list! So many I’d like to have in my collection. My 10/10 niche is Gold Knight by Kilian. A masterpiece in my book.
Kilian is designer
My No1 is Fragrance Du Bois Sahara 💕 Then Initio Oud for Greatness and then Kilian Black Phantom. Love MFK Grand Soir too.
Hi. I am a new subscriber. Your channel is amazing and your reviews very exactly and clear.
Thanks a lot Pedro. Hope you're doing well.
Banger list bro!
My number 1 is Wood satine mood from MFK❤ it was love at first sniff and i hope this will exist a long time because i want to wear it all my life
Didgeridoo.
Reflection man is a total banger for me. The Mrs goes Gaga when I wear it 👍
It just doesnt work for me unfortunately. I got 100ml bottle just laying around.
Nice perfumes on your list!!! I found some new inspirations from your video to try on soon. Nasomatto Pardon (absolutly amazing) Herod, Viking, oud for greatness are on my list of best perfumes, too. I like Carlisle from Marly better than Herod and Interlude black iris from amouage much better than reflection man. I also much like tobacco oud and ombre leather from tom ford and MFK Grand Soir. I have to check Roja enigma that so many are talking about :-). Thank you for your great video and infos.
Nice list Chris, we have similar tastes. Pardon, Reflection Man, Oud Wood, Aventus, Millesime Imperial, Neroli Portofino, Grand Soir...these are my only real 10/10s. Viking would get a 10 if the opening was less harsh!
Neroli Portofino' performance sucks
I got CDN Milestone and the saltiness idk what to think of it 😅
Xplain D Don agree but scent is still 10/10
Hmz Zrg I haven’t tried it but tbh I hear opening isn’t like MI, which is my favourite part
You obviously never smelt baraonda
Tauer LDDM is a masterpiece! Long time ago I smelled this one for the first time and my first impresion was” this frag smell like a dead man😂”. After I smelled at least 1000+ frag, I’ve found that one of my friend has this frag and I wanted to give it another chance, and woaaaaaaaaa.... I was completly in love about the uniqueness and the development of this fragrance. It is simply a masterpiece and now I understand why is considered one of the best frag ever. Greetings from Romania!
A dead man?!🤮
FRAG-MENTAL yes🙈🙈🙈😂
My TOP 10 "10/10" fragrance list:
Creed - Aventus
Parfums de Marly - Layton
Parfums de Marly - Oajan
Guerlain - Vetiver
Tom Ford - Oud Wood
Tom Ford - Lost Cherry
Acqua di Parma - Arancia di Capri
Tom Ford - Mandarino di Amalfi
Casamorati - Dolce Amalfi
Creed - Jardin d'Amalfi
Very expensive taste, yet very good choices. Tried all except Guerlain and Casamorati
Thank you, Chris! Great video!
My niche list 10/10:
Hervé Gambs - Infusion Noire (#1 for sure)
LM Parfums - Kingdom of Dreams
La Manufacture - Admirabilis
LM Parfums - Scandinavian Crime
Kilian - Intoxicated
Onyrico - Enigma
Amouroud - Santal des Indes
PDM - Layton
Kilian is designer
Derrick Blake eemmm...no, he's not. Fragrances, candles, lipstick, home accessories. Watch his website
@@sandromateush9650 you're wrong it's a Estee Lauder product which sells lipstick makeup close candles you name it
HEROD is my no.1 10/10 fragrance. Thanks for the video...
Loved the bloopers at the end Chris!
I was filming on Monday & had the same problem! 17 mins of interrupted content = 10 mins of usable content!
When the kiddos are playing Fortnite & yelling at other players, all bets are off! 😂😂😂
The Dad struggle is real brother!
@@FRAGMENTAL no kidding brother!
All of argos frags are amazing
Hey Chris, I was wondering if you've smelled Eau Duelle EDP by Diptique? On Fragrantica its been compared to Enigma by Roja Pafrums - would love your take on it. Great vid as always
Always bought designer mainly on cost but Just sampled cedrat boise it's very nice so might make it my first one
Great video and I love ❤️ Creed Viking🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 too
Thanks man
Just bought Mancera Red Tobacco (my first niche fragrance) and it was a little too much for me at first but now I can't get enough of it
@@Ferrucci_1666 it really does in my opinion. People will be able to smell you for hours if you put a single spray on
Great video. Thx!
Brilliant list!
Do you guys experience any kind of difficulties with some of the viking batches? I feel like for the 18g01 batch they toned down the spiciness and it lost a bit of its... ooomph that I enjoyed so much. Maybe my bottle needs to mature a bit more, just bought it a couple of weeks back as a replacement once my previous one ran out. I would be interested in your opinion!
Thanks!
One of Chris's kids asks..."I want to play a musical instrument". The other child said.."Will a didgeri..do?!?". We are so spoilt for choice of beautiful niche scents. Thanks for the video Chris.
Good joke, But you know he’s not Australian right?
nice list brotha!
didgeridoo! love the last 50 seconds :D Nice Video
That was some damn fine “didgeridoo” playing 👏🏼.
Haha 😄
My 10/10s are the following for sure.
I have collected over 60 bottles now over the years from cheap, designer to niche but still grab the following:
- Lolita Lempicka L'Homme
- Hugo Boss Bottled Sport
- Guerlain L'Homme Ideal EdP
- Dolce & Gabbana The One EdP
- Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue EdP
- Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de L'Homme
- Creed Millesime Imperial
- Creed Royal Oud
- Parfums de Marly Herod
DIDGERIDOO!!!!
Smell wise 10/10 for me would be niche----aventus, herod, oud wood, ombre leather, layton exclusif, reflection man, viking, smw, br540 extrait, grand soir, oud satin mood
Designer---Dior homme parfum, prada lhomme/intense, bdc
What is smw? :)
@@florianha5897 silver mountain water from creed
Herod vs layton ?
Does viking smell similar to smw?
@@fthewordofman9580 not at all.
10/10 video 👑
Great video, I was waiting for it. Where is the video with that Amouage parcel from yesterday ?
I'll be doing a livestream first impressions
@@FRAGMENTAL Hey, thanks for the reply! When will it happen?
Great video.. aroma from heaven
Fantastic list
Didgeridoo! Great video. For me, some 10/10 frags are Interlude Man, Jubilation XXV, Oud Wood, Stercus, Blessed Baraka, Aventus, Intoxicated, Orca, Oud Zanzibar, Oud Satin Mood, Fetish Pour Homme, Philosykos and 18.21 Manmade Sweet Tobacco.
What does Fetish Pour Homme smell like to you? Any fragrances or things that smell like it?
The Arts Traveler I can’t think of anything. I know some people don’t like it. To me it is very good.
Here are mine: Initio Oud For Greatness, Byredo Elevator Music, Tom Ford Oud Wood, Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomade, Creed Aventus Cologne, Parfums De Marly Sedley, Initio Blessed Baraka, MFK Baccarat Rouge, Parfums De Marly Layton, Creed Aventus (original). My most complimented is Initio Oud For Greatness!
Could your most complimented be because it’s the strongest projecting?
@@Hialeah1925 I don't care so much about projecting, sillage or how strong a Parfum is. It must satisfy just me... My 3 favorite Niches right now are from Argos fragrances: Bacio Immortale, Triumph of Bacchus & Brivido Della Caccia
What makes sedley 10/10 havent tried yet thanks
Ofg is legendary 🙌 👏 👌
@@pii-ali3673 Initio blessed baraka is insane for me. Some people consider it too powdery but for me it's brilliant
Wonderful video, excellent fragrances!
Distractions are just a part of the norm now...lol.
Didgeridoo
Yes that's true!
Love your sense of your humour Chris, cant believe your a Yorkshireman! Only kidding, great review.
I'm a Boltonian!
Bloody hell, I should have known the accent with me going out with a Chorley girl for 8 years! Sorry mate. 😉
Didgeridoo in a Star Wars long, long ago! 😆 I really need to smell Oud for Greatness once the shops start to open.
I went into a shop and purchased the Initio discovery set. Their fragrances are very well made. Oud for Greatness is a masterpiece. Get your nose on it soon.
I haven’t watched it yet but im already predicting that Parfums de Marly is in this list! There has to be one....
Correct!
There can BE only one.... IDK why, but whenever I hear something even remotely similar to the tag line from The Highlander, the tag line becomes an earworm.
I literally came here to write this comment. PDM and enigma possibly a TF too
Baraonda slays all of these just check the reviews & scores on fragrantica & basenotes
That house is overrated!
Hi Chris great video, I was wondering could you make a a video of best 5 or more 10/10 niche fragrances for the summer ? I gather Reflection, Bergamo 22, Acqua Di Parma Colonia could be considered. Best, Chris
Great idea👍🏻
Although I haven’t bought it yet, Acqua Di Parma Leather is the one for me! Or Ermenegildo Zegna Indonesian Oud
Hello Chris! When it comes to Carlilse, I wonder how you compare it to tobacco Vanille. Which one do you prefer?
Love Creed Viking and Pdm Herod!
You look so pleased when you pull out your dry wit dad jokes... onya mate
...keep on!
Also a 10/10 for a reviewer like you! Btw love the list and your English Accent is soothing, is it Cockney Accent?
No that’s a Yorkshire accent (northern) cockney being southern
No I'm from Bolton Lancashire
A perfumer needs to make a fragrance around didgeridoos. 😂
Great list and have a few of those in my collection and agree on 10 out of 10.
Layton Exclusif, Beau de Jour (Private Blend version), & Sultan Vetiver, all 10/10.
Awosme selection.... can you make top 10 best dating fragrance plz ? 🌹
Very nice list, I would have add :
1) PDM Darley
2) Bois 1920 Oltremare
3) FDB Oud vert intense
4) Creed Millesime imperial
You did it - as promised! Didgeridoo 😂
Thanks Chris!
