Maceration is a thing with these middle eastern fragrances, I have a few I've had for over a year in my collection and they're so much more richer than before
It's BRU-TAL in Boston this week, so it's light stuff for me. I actually wore Elysium PC layered with Elysium Parfum yesterday and today it's Arrakis by SOK.
Hey Gerard. Heat is here too. So, I went with the following: Issey Miyake Solar Lavender, Merchant of Venice Venitian Blue Intense, Robert Piquet Chai, Givenchy Pi Neo, Hez Perfumes Hand Grenade, Zoha Aroma Coral Symphony, and Nishane Sultan Vetiver. Thanks for the video.
Bvlgari Au The Vert is one I tried this week that I don't think I've heard anyone talk about. Definitely worth a try if you like Green Tea with Citrus notes and some fresh spicy and white floral touches. It's Unisex, but masculine people can definitely pull it off in the summer.
Killer rotation, and I have to agree with you on the Elysium DNA, not my favorite. Been hearing you talk about Costa Azzurra parfum for a bit now, need to get my nose on it, sounds like something I'd enjoy! My rotation last week (super hot week): Kilian Roses on Ice Roja Enigma Parfum Cologne (rainy day, took advantage of the weather briefly cooling off) Nishane Hacivat X Versace Pour Homme (Day), Chanel AHSEE (Night) Mancera Fig Extasy (Day), ADP Fico di Amalfi (Night) D&G Light Blue Italian Love Tommy Bahama St Kitts
That saturday pick resides in my top 5 or 3 of frags in my collection and in overall, so yeah, is amazing CA parfum, Last week I receive a bunch of scents from zara I brought earlier in July, and I used them all thru the week, in this particular order, Monday: Eau/01 Amalfi coast Tuesday:Bogoss Vibrant leather (fruity Pinnaple juice) Wed: eau/02 Tanto Amore Thru: LTH/02 Leather freestyle (citric leather) Friday: TOB/03 Tabac Treasure (the best) Saturday: Vibrant Leather Explosion (Aventus + BR540) Gotta say this new week is already down in the calendar spots all filled and today I wore Green Irish Tweed from the one and only Creed. Have a great one Gerard, always a pleasure talk of scents with you
good choices. I wore missoni wave a lot last summer. great one. wears of the week versace pour homme sauvage elixir one million edt burberry brit rhythm intense crystal saffron RL polo sport jill sander sun for men
That Issey Miyake has been on my radar as I was looking for something that utilizes coconut, I did finally find Mandarina Vida Loca in stock, and I like it, but I want more 🥥
💯 agree FW imperium does smell great, but.....my bottle had weak performance. Even after maceration, the only way to get average longevity was to spray heavy on clothes and reapply every 4 hrs. For a few bucks more, I picked up FOMO A Frag Heads Asylum. I Finally found the performance I was looking for from this addictive scent profile.
Great video! Mont Blanc legend EDP, Tommy Hilfiger vibrant summer, Jimmy Choo man ice for last week.i fixing to spray vibrant summer soon going in for coffee,blast furnace here 101 temperature. 3:39 pm CST. Currently.
I do like that Imperium, it's really nice for the cost especially. I've been wanting to try that Fusion d'Issey! I love coconut in general Some of the highlights would definitely have to be: Egypt by Eight & Bob. Sweet, warm patchouli. It's one of my favorite formal fragrances in my collection, it almost has a honeyed quality to it, really green and classy. Hayride by Pineward. It's a combination of a touch of hay with a warm, toasty cinnamon raisin bread, absolutely not what I was expecting. You can smell the fruitiness, the toastiness of the bread, the warm sweet spice from the cinnamon. Very unique! Guerlain Homme EDP (not Lhomme Ideal EDP). This one is a really high quality soapy mojito fragrance with a woody, creamy smoothness to it underneath everything, that smoothness almost smells a bit like coconut as well. It has the quality you'd expect from a Guerlain, and an amazing sillage and longevity for such a bright frag. I do have the actual Lhomme Ideal EDP coming in either today or tomorrow, and I'm also swapping for a bottle of Ideal Platine Prive. I think I've found my favorite house! Guerlain has way better value than any designer frag I've smelled despite being priced similarly, and, while I've only smelled 2 frags from them, they're both 10/10 for my current tastes
Acqua Di Gio Profondo, as “boring” as may sound, it’s another easy grab. Blue de Chanel. The GOAT of blue fragrances. That Bvlgari , I think the perfumer is Jacques Cavalier… the now, in house perfumer by Louis Vuitton My rotation.

@@gerardgeorge yeah it sucks because I love this now but if anyone wants to buy it or trade I would be open to that because it's still like a 95% full bottle 3.4 oz

BVLGARI P.H. was one of my signature scents back in the day. ''Versatile'' and ''refined'', you are correct!
Thanks Mang!
Maceration is a thing with these middle eastern fragrances, I have a few I've had for over a year in my collection and they're so much more richer than before
I agree!
It's BRU-TAL in Boston this week, so it's light stuff for me. I actually wore Elysium PC layered with Elysium Parfum yesterday and today it's Arrakis by SOK.
You are right about that!
Dua is great I love there originals!
I've been impressed with everything I've tried.
start revisting your clones especially if they have been sitting for over 4 months, all of mine changed so much and gotten much much better
That seems to be the case.
TOM FORD
COSTA AZZURRA PARFUM ......A favorite for me too.
Amazing choice!
Hey Gerard. Heat is here too. So, I went with the following: Issey Miyake Solar Lavender, Merchant of Venice Venitian Blue Intense, Robert Piquet Chai, Givenchy Pi Neo, Hez Perfumes Hand Grenade, Zoha Aroma Coral Symphony, and Nishane Sultan Vetiver. Thanks for the video.
Sultan Vetiver has long been on my list. Will try soon!
I gotta revisit Costa Azzura Parfum. You talked me into it :)
Yes! Let me know
Bvlgari Au The Vert is one I tried this week that I don't think I've heard anyone talk about. Definitely worth a try if you like Green Tea with Citrus notes and some fresh spicy and white floral touches. It's Unisex, but masculine people can definitely pull it off in the summer.
Sounds like a gem!
47 and bvlgari pour homme smells like a nail salon to me I don't wear it but son's have gotten into it
Oh wow luckily I dont get that haha.
Testing Greenly for the second time it’s ok it’s not going to replace Percival or Sedley for me I’m going to test Perseus tomorrow.
Same here. Good scent but I have other favorites Sedley being one.

I’m on my second bottle of imperium ❤
Yea its growing on me for sure.
You should def get your hands on Alexandria Frgrances. They’re awesome clone house!
I love Royal Equestrian. Layton clone I have it.
That Issey Miyake has been on my radar as I was looking for something that utilizes coconut, I did finally find Mandarina Vida Loca in stock, and I like it, but I want more 🥥
More coconut!!
I still need to get Missoni pour homme EDP...!
Both are worth getting. They’re both fantastic.
@@richparkinson9647 nice,thanks!
Great one to grab easy recommendation .
💯 agree FW imperium does smell great, but.....my bottle had weak performance. Even after maceration, the only way to get average longevity was to spray heavy on clothes and reapply every 4 hrs. For a few bucks more, I picked up FOMO A Frag Heads Asylum. I Finally found the performance I was looking for from this addictive scent profile.
I have that Fomo your not wrong about that performance it’s a BEAST
I still need to try that one!
@gerardgeorge also fragrance world Divin Asylum, although I heard the new batches aren't as good butvnot sure haven't tried
Great video! Mont Blanc legend EDP, Tommy Hilfiger vibrant summer, Jimmy Choo man ice for last week.i fixing to spray vibrant summer soon going in for coffee,blast furnace here 101 temperature. 3:39 pm CST. Currently.
Thanks Vance! wow thats crazy hot stay cool brotha.

Fantastic breakdowns as always and much appreciated! Thank you.
Divin asylum may be the best clone of Elysium. I enjoyed it but sold mine because I barely wore it.
Never tried that one!
Acqua Di Gio Profondo, as “boring” as may sound, it’s another easy grab.
Blue de Chanel. The GOAT of blue fragrances.
That Bvlgari , I think the perfumer is Jacques Cavalier… the now, in house perfumer by Louis Vuitton

Perseus by PDM is loads better than Elysium. Worth the dough
I've tested it and liked it a lot.
I am a die hard Celtics fan go Celtics ☘️☘️
Same here go C's!
sad to say but missoni wave makes my neck hot and so i cant wear it. i have to sell or trade my bottle

A 50 cent concert? That sounds like a bargain, I hope you tipped.
