I agree, as long as he doesn’t say anything mean about my dear Xerjoff 40 knots he can shit on everything else I don’t care 🤷♂️ Jk, fragrances are subjective at the end of the day. And that’s okay life’s too short worry about what other people think! :p
You did good Justin. I am a 46 yo man and a big frag head too. I started my journey in the 90s with designer fragrances like Tommy Hifiger and even earlier with Ralph Lauren Chaps and Safari. I really had no idea what I was doing, but deep down I knew there was a time and place for fragrances. Also, I learned that wearing Safari or Chaps at age 15 wasn't the best idea; the girls my age said I smelled like a saddle. Anyway, this really hit home with me and how I pulled things off like Aqua di gio in my early twenties as apposed to Polo sport. I liked Polo sport, but when I discovered this new nectar from the gods I new that it would turn heads and I do think it matched my age at the time. IDK I'm sure some will disagree, but as we say, it's all subjective 😊
Justin is putting fragcomm on notice. He is hitting on all cylinders, from the triggering thumbnail, random meme insertions, top notch and polished presentation, interesting concept, and thorough video. He is competing with himself at this point. Everyone else keep churning out daily top 10 compliment getters and rotating Jean jackets from moms basement !
This concept is fire! Simplifying mainstream hypes by categories and giving alternatives. The 4 particular categories definitely give a quick review and depth to each fragrance. We need endless sequels to this video lol…💯💯💯
I feel the exact same about Hawas as you do. For me it is one note or like you said linear. I have tried 3 different times to wear it and each time I am ready to scrub it off as soon as I put it on.
Great one Justin, you'll be pleased to known that in Spring I alternate between Chanel AHS Eau Extreme and Lolita Lempicka Green Lover 😂 Both make me happy and I do agree that there's more to Green Lover than meets the eye. It's unbeatable not just for its price but when placed head to head with things 4-5 times more expensive. Thanks for the video
Yeah you’re right about the Chanel. Sadly found that out the hard way. I liked it a lot when first smelling it and got tricked into the price per ml racket. Bought a 5 ounce bottle. Recently purchased its predecessor Allure Homme Sport, and I find that one to be much better. But not all is lost, the Eau Extreme does smell nice, I just will have the 5oz for life. Learned my lesson and if all that comes from that is I have a Chanel fragrance for life, then I guess worse things could have happened. Great video, your concepts don’t go unnoticed and unappreciated. You and Joy Amin give great advice and knowledge, I’ve learned a lot from you, so thank you for the wisdom you share.
I enjoy this. Respectfully disagree with the Y EDT take. I love it and get compliments on it. But everything isn't for everyone. I'm also not a huge frag head. Great content!
Not sure if it’s been said, but aside from your different, yet insightful and refreshing perspectives on fragrance. The vocals/voice is a soooooothing and easy listen. That should not go unnoticed.
Great video. Yeah my Prada Carbon and Prada Ocean is collecting dust. I think they are the last of my regret fragrances that I own. I wish I found this channel earlier, could have possible saved a lot of money.
Thank you for the great video Justin! Some really good alternatives and suggestions on here for when I finish up some of the bottles I started my collection with👍🏾
I thought I was the only one that felt that way about Hawas. I actually prefer Mont Blanc Legend Sprit over that. Love this concept because I'm constantly looking for alternatives to popular mainstream fragrances. Another bangin' video as always JC 💯💯💪🏾💪🏾
Funny. 'I wanted it to stop' re the Hawas. 😄 I've come round to your idea of their being a place for short duration frags after nixing hard for the last couple of years. Amouage opus 9 is beastly. Beautiful deep leather and floral and 10 hours later its still pumping. Its a commitment. On a two frag day, it can't go first.
Man… Justin you are killing it Dude!!! Great job👍 I work in a busy supermarket, I’m 47, and my top 3 compliment getters are: 1. ADG Profondo 2. Rasasi Hawas 3. Versace Eros These are by no means my favorites. I personally love DG light blue forever (when it’s hot out) JPG Ultra Male, YSL l’homme le parfum, and Rochas mustache. BUT, they get no love. Maybe it’s because I work in a college town?
I've said it before, you led me to 3AM this is my cheapest and up there as one of my favorites Not about compliments but when I wear this in the summer... they come my way
BOIS IMPERIAAAAAAL!!!! I’ve been wearing the F out of it, now that it’s no longer 20 degrees outside. It’s intoxicating, so interesting, so different. Akigalawood is quickly becoming a favorite note, I’ve realized, as Ex Nihilo’s The Hedonist is another fragrance I can’t stop reaching for.
100% agreed. Justin, Sebastian (The Perfume Guy) and Marcelo (The Niche Fragrance Collector) are pretty much all I need these days. Found so many great new scents through their recommendations. 🙌🏻
Nice series. It is very original. Keep up the excellent work. Have you ever thought about reviewing the Aaron Terence Hughes fragrances? That would be a fascinating video.
3AM is another fragrance that I bought because of your recommendation. I really like the scent, though the performance is not good, but ofc for that price there is no room for complain. Thanks for your great content
Just ordered valentino uomo , i smelled it awhile ago and loved it , was just waiting for a good price and jomashop is having a sale today on fragrances so i got a 150ml bottle for $111.54👀
Hello Justin, how are you? Great job as usual. Your videos are always interesting and creative. Rasasi Hawas does really well for me because I live in the deep South and it pushes all day and I need that when the temperature runs over 100 degrees for days but I do understand what you mean. Stay safe brother and hi to Grace!
You are really on fire these days, aren´t you? So much valuable input in the shortest time. Please keep your style and stay on track - enough beast-mode, compliment getting, pantydropping elsewhere. this concept is a gem - and the "reviewer"-title goes to...🙂.
I like these categories. I am holding myself apart from these categories because: female, old, not dead yet, long time collector and female. I’ve classified some scents as too youthful, too masculine, too ubiquitous and too unimaginative.
I don't necessarily agree with you on some of this, but I definitely see where you're coming from. I own a good chunk of these, both the overrated and the recommendations. I gave my bottle of 3AM to my brother, and now I cant seem to find it anywhere for less than like $50, so I caved and spent that to get a new bottle
Love the list. I tried Dylan Blue because I saw it on so many lists, and to me it's a Bleu de Chanel knock off. It starts out just like BDC but then it does something really weird like the fragrance just craps out. I don't know if I love BDC so much that I can't stand Dylan Blue or if it's just that I hate Dylan Blue. Anyways, on another note, for a man freshy, may I suggest Mancera's Black Gold? I'm trying it for the first time tonight and my God is it beautiful! It's like walking through a beautiful flower garden in full bloom. It's unisex, leans feminine but there's something so masculine about it. I don't think every guy would enjoy Black Gold, likely only certain types, but wow, it's like a fresh version of D&G's The One Luminous Night.
honestly the brands from these alternatives you presented should write you a cheque. Internet is full of same brands and flankers and reviewers copy each other by presenting same things. Justin you do a great job and I thank you for that.
the most important this for me is the names...wow! Dude fresh, boy fresh, dude sweet, man sweet and so on...man fresh is almost taken but i bet the brands are coming to steal the names bro so u better patent them fast.😁btw i dont like this allure one too and can't stand the BR 540 DNA(it has some similarities though with some older mass appealing frags). Edition blanch is the best in allure line! Btw love dolce the one (my first designer frag ever) and uomo(i like the og better than intense) both. Sad they axed the uomo one.
Great content Justin 👌🏾. As I get deeper into my fragrance journey I find my getting further away from mainstream fragrances. Your recommendations are well received, at least by myself. I never understood why people get so butt hurt over other's opinions on certain fragrances. Guess that speaks to people's maturity.
I like prada carbon a lot acc to me doesnt smell like Sauvage at all, my gf goes crazy for carbon but hates sauvage lol U should try 1821 sweet tobacco spirits for sweet/sophisticated man :)
Funny enough, I like fantastic smells of Interlude although most people around me feel irritated and complain of its bombastic smells. I spray it more to last even longer and project further in office 😂 On the other day, I rotate it Al Hararamin de tour noir layered with PDM Layton. 15 sprays of each of those fragrances are enough to last me whole day.
All good! Compliments don't make a fragrance great for me. They are just a byproduct of the fragrance accenting my confidence. The way it smells to me matters most, because I have to love it even if I'm not getting compliments. If the scent of Explorer is a 10/10 for you, even without compliments, then you've found a keeper.
Quality content. And now, I have to by Salt & Pepper since it's cosigned by two reviewers I expect outside the box references from. Yourself and Melissa Naccional.
🚒 I'm the fireman (Yeah), fire, f-fireman (Yeah) I got that fire, I'm hollering (Yeah) I got that fire, come and try me, and (Yeah) You can spark it up and I'ma put you out (I got 'em, get 'em) You can spark it up and I'ma put you out (I got 'em)
HELL YES I AM OFFENDED! lol jk Great video as usual Justin. As a lover of Chanel AHSEE, I am really interested in Green Lover. Especially with the scent profile you described. I also need to sample from Argos, especially Triumph of Bacchus. Those bottles and your descriptions are enticing lol. I love Hawas and I have tried Coach Platinum. It's nice but I can't get into it. I haven't tried Uomo, but I have tried the many flankers. As far as Slat and Pepper, I need to get a sample of that. Melissa Nacional put me on to that one and I have not had the opportunity to try it out yet. Also, That Mr. Pink Bottle is insane.
@@goofy_xf6223 that would be very helpful. But I did really do that myself actually. I’ve just smelled a lot of fragrances and taken notice what I was smelling.
How about wear what makes you feel good but whatever most people don't wear fragrance anyway so you'll probably stand out just wearing any!! I don't judge people if you're 60yrs old & wanna wear axe go ahead do YOUR thing!!!
SI findI think we have different tastes and someties think your reccomendations are a little too esoteric for the sake of different but I like your videos enough that I keep watching anyway.
The dry down on 3am is MIND-BOGGLINGLY good, especially for the price. I'm about 1 year into my frag journey, and of the hundreds of things that I've smelled, 3am is the best value I've come across.
Regardless of what’s said, blind buys are always a HUGE gamble. Get a sample, I had to learn this the hard way. Some of THE most popular, recommended scents don’t work with my skin. I could’ve gone on an extended European trip with the amount of money I spent on fragrances I can’t wear.
I want to smell good. I could really care less what another man thinks about my choices. If you are a man, please don't smell me. I promise that as a male you are not my type! I have Dylan Blue for the gym and a blind grab.i also have Wanted By Night and The One EDP. They smell good. I'll wear a MAN fragrance when I grow up. I need to look into the recommended alternatives most of which I haven't heard of til this point . Good video. I enjoy your presentation nice and smooth. Thanks.
I made a mistake y'all: Danae from Argos is also "Guy Sweet", not "Dude Sweet". If you don't know what the heck I'm talking about, keep watching. 😉
J. stop constantly apologizing to your subs for your taste
I agree, as long as he doesn’t say anything mean about my dear Xerjoff 40 knots he can shit on everything else I don’t care 🤷♂️
Jk, fragrances are subjective at the end of the day. And that’s okay life’s too short worry about what other people think! :p

These are great. Man-sweet for me at the moment is PdM Haltane. Very interested in sampling Salt & Pepper.
Be well J.
Salt and Pepper is definitely on the list. All my favorites have mentioned it.
I've said it before, you led me to 3AM this is my cheapest and up there as one of my favorites
Not about compliments but when I wear this in the summer... they come my way
What's your most complimented bro
Wooo! This is my new favorite segment! I’ve really wanted to get fragrances that showcased these types of life transitions.

ive put my dad on to a lot of fragrances and his two favorite are legend spirit and hollister wave. and hes in his early 50s

Hawas.... instant return.
Someone needs to make an app that u put in all your frags n it selects one randomly for you cuz I can never decide on what to wear
Parfumo.net has a feature like that
There will be “how-to” manuals written about that legendary thumbnail! Nice video, Justin.
Great content Justin 👌🏾. As I get deeper into my fragrance journey I find my getting further away from mainstream fragrances. Your recommendations are well received, at least by myself. I never understood why people get so butt hurt over other's opinions on certain fragrances. Guess that speaks to people's maturity.
Very genius list Justin. I enjoy the taste keep doing what u been doing forget the haters.🙏🏾💪🏾💯
Appreciate that
I respect your honest opinion every time bro! Keep doing you!
I appreciate that
You got me when you gave your opinion on Allure Homme Sport. Not a favorite of mine, far from it
Ha! Totally agree…Allure sport is just a meh for me. I’ve never understood the love for that fragrance.
I really enjoy watching your videos. You are so respectfully, albeit unapologetically, critical of fragrances.
I appreciate that!
Duor homme 2020 is definitely underrated, it's a Gentleman fragrance.
I like prada carbon a lot acc to me doesnt smell like Sauvage at all, my gf goes crazy for carbon but hates sauvage lol
U should try 1821 sweet tobacco spirits for sweet/sophisticated man :)
I really like this series too, awesome way to introduce people to exploring out of the algorithm lol
Dude!!!! Cool video my guy. Man oh man. Looking forward to beginning to progress to amn scents.
Thank you!

Hope you enjoyed it!
@@stayfreshproductions I did!! As always 😉
DUDE !!! You are killing me. Haha. Nice job Justin. Keep them coming. Thanks for the video.
😄
Looking straight for the part 3
Rasasi does have some mature man fragrances, Junoon Velvet (Man Sweet) Oudh Al Boruzz Asrar Indonesia (Man Fresh) both super underrated.
Both uomo are good but that iris note in intense does it for me
Thanks for keeping the category theme alive
Funny enough, I like fantastic smells of Interlude although most people around me feel irritated and complain of its bombastic smells. I spray it more to last even longer and project further in office 😂
On the other day, I rotate it Al Hararamin de tour noir layered with PDM Layton. 15 sprays of each of those fragrances are enough to last me whole day.
For me the only good Prada Luna Rossa was the One they discontinued.... Luna Rossa Extreme...💓
I disagree with Monte Blanc explorer for the price I get a ton of compliments and they now sell it at Target for like $40
All good!
Compliments don't make a fragrance great for me. They are just a byproduct of the fragrance accenting my confidence.

As a lover of Chanel AHSEE, I am really interested in Green Lover. Especially with the scent profile you described. I also need to sample from Argos, especially Triumph of Bacchus.

My pleasure!
The cotton candy note probably comes from an aromachemical called ethyl maltol. Not sure why a grown man would want to smell of it.
You won't know will you smell Mr. Pink. It's not what you think.
Good video. Got a question. How do you train your nose?
I have trained mine by smelling many, many, many different types of fragrances over the years, and studying the raw materials that make them up.
@@stayfreshproductions gotcha so I need to get out and smell things like cardamom and cedar individually?
@@goofy_xf6223 that would be very helpful. But I did really do that myself actually. I’ve just smelled a lot of fragrances and taken notice what I was smelling.
Surprisingly, I never owned Dylan Blue, I owned Sean John 3 am, but I gave it away, I liked it, i might get it back
I like initio side effect but I will never buy it again after I got Dua's version..Collateral Damage. It lasts way longer.
Way better period
The fig in 3am comes off coconutty to me, not in a bad way, but I think its kinda 2D
Oh, interesting! I've never heard of that last house. Thanks!
I LOVE D&G The One, Valentino Uomo/Intense too!!!!
Stunned by a CK rec over wanted by night. Better smell it
Funny how I was patiently waiting for the return of 3am since your last video and here it is 😂👏.
How about wear what makes you feel good but whatever most people don't wear fragrance anyway so you'll probably stand out just wearing any!! I don't judge people if you're 60yrs old & wanna wear axe go ahead do YOUR thing!!!
This is good advice. Fragcomm list culprits have manipulated everyone into thinking that only certain ones are liked
The argos bottle is so beautiful.
J do you have any fragrances that others around you who verbally state they don't like it..
Hey Christopher. If I’m understanding your question correctly, if they never tell me they don’t like it, how will I know?
Green Lover is good, a tad synthetic but I still like it.
Dylan Blue is fantastic and I rock with it... And I'm a niche snob🤷🏾♂️
Where can I get a good sample of BR and mr pink?
Links in the description!
Man that salt and pepper is $275 for 75ml. At that price is it really worth it over Percival that can be had sub $200 for 125ml?
That’s up to you to decide! Value is subjective. I agree, it is a bit steep. But it’s still relative.
Justin is the most honest and underrated fragrance influencer. He is also the definition of a bloke.
Haha. Thank you 🙏🏾
Yes! He really is.
SI findI think we have different tastes and someties think your reccomendations are a little too esoteric for the sake of different but I like your videos enough that I keep watching anyway.
Thank you. I only share what I love. Simple as that.
Tempted to get that Valentino and the one that smells like Gin. Would also sample the last one but 💸
The dry down on 3am is MIND-BOGGLINGLY good, especially for the price. I'm about 1 year into my frag journey, and of the hundreds of things that I've smelled, 3am is the best value I've come across.
And when I got it, it was $15 on Amazon, and now it's $50+ everywhere...wtf? lol
What is the background music playing in the intro?
It was in the UA-cam audio library. It’s called Rumba Sabor
Where did you sell your fragrances
On Instagram and Facebook
Keep these coming this was great and unique!
That Weezy reference alone deserves a like
can anyone tell me if mancera vetiver sensuel is a good blind buy and if its worth it?
Regardless of what’s said, blind buys are always a HUGE gamble. Get a sample, I had to learn this the hard way. Some of THE most popular, recommended scents don’t work with my skin. I could’ve gone on an extended European trip with the amount of money I spent on fragrances I can’t wear.
Roja Enigma is the grown man Intio Side Effect to me if you want that Cherry/Vanilla Coke vibe.
Justin it seems there's some inconsistency with the categories. I didn't see fresh for a man.
No inconsistency. Just didn’t have one this time. We had one or two in the first episode.
I want to smell good. I could really care less what another man thinks about my choices. If you are a man, please don't smell me. I promise that as a male you are not my type! I have Dylan Blue for the gym and a blind grab.i also have Wanted By Night and The One EDP. They smell good. I'll wear a MAN fragrance when I grow up. I need to look into the recommended alternatives most of which I haven't heard of til this point . Good video. I enjoy your presentation nice and smooth. Thanks.
Hi 👋
I wish this series had a female version too
