    Hi Max. I like your videos. I think the GBUUO concept is a good one. But sometimes you it feels like you are forced to give out an bad or ugly when you actually think highly of fragrance. Rather than reviewing fragrances from a single house it would be be fun to apply the concept to a specific style of fragrance. You could pick spicy orientals and tell us the GBUUO. Just an idea!

    Love this house - great review. I own 4 fragrances from the line - Colonia, Essenza, Assoluta & Querceria. My favorite is Essenza, but I wear them all. The Querceria is not worn as much but that may change in the fall-winter. This house Definitely produces a more professional lineup... they all work well in an office setting - no fragrance bombs here.

    The word "acqua" has always put me off of this house. My skin already has trouble with longevity. What's longevity like on the blue line offerings? I do like vanilla and almond combos. I'll have to try Colonia Intensa.

    The Assoluta (released 2003) was lovely. SO sad it was discontinued. The newest one from the Blu Med line, Chinotto di Liguria is rather nice. The Bergamotto di Calabria and the Mirto di Panarea are my favourites from the Blu Med line. For Bergamot in general you should try the Monotheme Bergamotto and The Different Company Bergamote.

    Many people praise colonia essenza, but I personally don't like it at all. It reminds me of bug spray or medicinal soap. Now Colonia I am a huge fan of, for sure one of my all time favourite.. Fico di Amalfi is really nice. Colonia Intensa have nice opening, but the drydown is a let down. Although nice (but nothing special) it becomes a very soft powdery resin like smell. Others I also liked are Rosa Nobile and Lilly of the Valley. Just ok are Arancia di Capri, Colonia Club, Bergamotto Di Calabria, Mirto di Panarea, Chinotto Di Liguria, Quercia, Yuzu and Colonia Pura. Didn't like at all Colonia Essenza and Cipresso di Toscania.

  • @ryanhuerta1024
    @ryanhuerta1024 7 років тому

    Great job Max, for me the Ugly is Colonia Club, the bad would be mostly the Mediterranean blue bottle line based purely on the lack of performance. Overrated for me is the Essenza as I find it to be nice, but there are so many other barbershop scents I would prefer over it. Colonia would be the the Good. It has passed the test and remains as one of the best all time citrus scents ever. Really timeless to me. Underrated would be Intensa. It is probably the best performer in the line and it can we worn 365 days a year.

Incredibly, he’s given a great snapshot of 14 fragrances in 17 minutes. How much shorter do you want the details to be? Just a list of fragrances perhaps?!
