You are a very interesting and opinionated woman. I like the fact that although you slam colognes you dislike, you provide alternatives for those who still want to go in that scent direction. Good job, you’re good! 😊
Yea she tripping on the reflection man. As a fragrance collector, you need frags that’s check every box and some easy grabs too. Not every bottle you own has to be robust. Last I check, you should be wearing fragrances that you love mainly. Why wear bubblegum scents bc mass majority of women like it but the wearer hates it 🤷♂️
Reflection is a masterpiece. Classy and clean, its amazing. She trippin. But I can kinda see where shes coming from. Scent is subjective anyway. Thats her taste, who are we to say. But imma keep rocking reflection man. Especially when well dressed and groomed. Its perfect.
I don't wear Reflection Man that much but when I do I always get compliments from women. Disagree completely on it smelling un-manly. Great longevity as well. Banger.
Only insicure man would not like reflection man. The only reason i don’t have a bottle is because it smells not like an amouage. I would give it a 10 if it had a little insence in it
My grandfather used fahrenheit right when it was released in like 1988 or something, he's not with us anymore but fortunately my aunts managed to conserve the old bottle and it smells SOOO much better than the one that's being sold right now.
@@joeschmo9491 Well it's not sweet and bubblegummy. If you watch other female reviewers asking women about different scents, a number of them do like Dior's Fahrenheit
Love Fahrenheit! I smelt it over a decade ago and it smelt full on like petrol. Now it smells more green and I couldn't stop smelling it once I got a 50ml. Ended up getting a 200ml straight away.
💯 couldn’t agree more it’s green, sweet, fresh spice and really , really, really , intoxicating. I get not leather or Gasoline from my bottle (bought this year) at all.
@@Bkump I just smelled it at Ulta last week and the gas smell is definitely still there in fact that’s almost all I could smell with the Mandarin/Violet being very very faint.
We need Castrol "R" fragrance! I don't wear it for women (they are not interested in the 60% of us), I wear it for me. My dog rolls in smelly stuff too.
She, as solo is better than Jeremy.....After watching Jeremy's video with Mr. Tom Ford i think Jeremy is like creed aventas....batch after batch..worst and worst....🤣😂
I just posted the exact same thing - without seeing it reading your comment….. you know what that means? Bro, you and I think alike! Jeremy and Curly are both NUTS - in their own way….imagine that lol! F yeah! Lol
If Fahrenheit didn’t have that gasoline smell I’d be all over it because the mandarin/ violet combination you get for 3 seconds when first sprayed is awesome but unfortunately that strong gas smell is there immediately and stays. I don’t wanna smell like a mechanic.
Absolutely, in the first 5 with Givenchy Gentleman (1974) old formula, Hermes Equipage, vintage YSL Kouros and old Drakkar Noir (before first reformulation in 1989.)
Fahrenheit has always been a very polarizing fragrance - folks either love it or hate it. The original formulation lasts forever on the skin. That said, while the initial blast might be a bit off-putting for many (smells very oily and like diesel), the everlasting dry down is where this classic shines!
I have Fahrenheit from the late 90s early 00's, I was unpacking from moving recently, I found a coat that still smelled like it, and I probably haven't touched the coat since 2008 😂
It's truly one of the most unique and well-blended fragrances of all time. The Perfum version though... OMG that is one of the worst experiences I ever had with a fragrance. Screechy, headache-inducing nastiness that lasted a long time on the skin. It was so bad I thought it must be fake but I got confirmation its real. I have to try it out again just to see.
I'm gonna buy it wheter people like it or not, it's just too good for me. It's funny because when i smelled it first time i thought it's nasty 😄, but definitely a fragrance i'm gonna keep buying.

@@patriklundsholm514 it doesn't smell feminine to me at all. There are way more feminine fragrances that men are wearing today like BR540 and Nishane Ani that I can't pull off.
I loved Reflection Man. To me it had a very clean smell that I really liked. If it has a feminine vibe to some people, I could not careless. It just smells good -- like a high end luxury soap. However, I had a heart attack while I was wearing it (not related of course) and now I just can't wear the stuff anymore. I ended up giving it away.
@@patriklundsholm514 Not everyone cares about complements in terms of the attention. But to say compliments mean nothing is just objectively incorrect. It literally means the fragrance smells good to people. That's def something. There's 2 main reasons to wear fragrances. For yourself to enjoy the smell. And to have everyone around you to enjoy the smell.
I am 18 and love fahrenheit edt. It's the new formulation but i think it's not that different. I gotta say my friends say it is pretty harsh and overwhelming when sprayed on. But in the air when settled it is soooo nice. I actually like it soo much that i can wear it while sleeping.
I thought it must have been my personality, my lazy eye or my hairy shoulders freaking the ladies out - but it was really Fahrenheit all along. Thanks Michella!
guys.. for Dior Sauvage.. just use it, spray it, wear it.. when a woman says everybody in the world wear it.. it actually is NOT.. it is only noticeable for fragheads.
Everything on this list gets me mad compliments... Even the "new" reformulation of creed aventus I don't have a problem with longevity or projection. To sum it up fragrances are subjective to each it's own.
Yes, hell yes, you nailed it. I also know many women that love sauvage and joop homme. And lets not forget: fragrances smell differently on different people, while somebody may smell like shit wearing joop, another person can smell fantastic, same goes for aventus etc..
Absolutely love the honest reviews🤣 So funny and entertaining to watch! Personally, Moschino Toy Boy works wonders for me, maybe the weather in my country but wow… The compliments i get from it is the highest. My top fragrance in my entire collection! But definitely not a blind buy, please try it out first!
I got toy boy a few days ago, got an interest for it because i saw many people liking it and many people hating it. For me it worked wonders, i noticed this perfume has great reviews in some countries and bad reviews in other countries. Generally the countries that speak a romance language view it as cool and masculine, i think it's a cultural type of thing, not every culture associates this kind of smell with masculinity. It worked for me, but i TOTALLY don't recommend it as a blind buy.
Yeah, I think that in most latin European culture, a man that mixes a little bit of feminity in his masculinity is considered sexy. Think your stereotypical Don Juan, Zorro, etc. Long hair, skinny frame, dandy style, but very bold, in your face and flirtatious. That's the vibe that fits with Toy Boy imo.
I hated Fahrenheit and Joop when I was younger. But those scents were forever burnt in my memory and when I started collecting fragrances again I bought them and now thoroughly appreciate them for what they are. And I agree with you on toy boy but I still wear it when I’m by myself at the house because it’s such a powerful beast. Good video
She loves it because she wants you to wear a repellent. Ferenhieght is older than my grandfather and smells like him. Best way to test if she likes it, ask her to wear it for a few days😅
My own personal experience is that By the Fireplace has been one of my most complimented by women. Probably depends on where you live, when you wear it, etc, etc. For instance, people in smaller towns will more than likely have different taste than folks in bigger cities.
I agree with all your choices. All of them except Reflection Man :) And in contrary, I get sick and headache from Azzaro wanted by night, it goes straight into my brain, with an itchy painful way.
I love that you said that you hate dior sauvage. God, how I hate that smell. I can't breathe with dior sauvage. I hate when people around me are wearing that perfume.
I walked in Macy's and before getting 10 yards from the fragrance department, all I could smell was Sauvage.. and I instantly put my mask back on! This stuff has become to common! Nearly everyone has it and wears it. This is one reason I'm getting more into the niche fragrances. I don't want to smell like the "mall" by wearing what everyone else is wearing!
@@johncampbell5929 I will have to try Sauvage Elixir then! Hopefully, it's a fragrance that won't become overly popular and "run into the ground" like its flanker Sauvage. Thanks for the recommendation! 👍
I love Fahrentheit! A colleague was wearing it and I recognized the iconic scent trail. It's green, almost cooling with the violet leaf combined with the scent of hot leather seats on a sunny day. I genuinly prefer it over Sauvage, just dislike the intense ambroxan. I work at a fitness centre and it's all I smell on every guy.
@@norhal everyone is entitled to their opinions. I personally would not feel confident wearing a perfume that i don't like even if the scent trail is godly. But your argument is valid
Lessss goooo glad you’re not retiring haha. I find your ASMR very unique and no one else can replicate it. Like myself and others have said before, take inspiration from other successful ASMR creators when you’re lacking video ideas. Yeah the bumps on your face might be from when you shave you go over the same area too much.
I lot of people do wear Sauvage but I think far more people were wearing Aventus (or clones of it) to the point where everyone literally smelt the same. Personally, I always go for niche fragrances as I’ve no interest in doing what everyone else is doing and find them far more interesting. My personal hated fragrance, has always be Joop.. can’t stand the stuff, instant headache.
Crazy thing about Fahrenheit is that when it came out every woman I know was talking about how “sexy” it was. My girlfriend bought it for me and I didn’t like it at all but wore it anyway. Every girl we hung out with would compliment me 😂. Women will convince themselves they like a lot of shit that gets hype even though I really don’t think they do
With men come egos and defensive comments, but I truly appreciate your input and your recommendations for alternatives! Excellent video, I’ve subscribed and going down the rabbit hole of your video lists now 😊
I agree in most of the fragrances that have been mentioned….but bought One Million Prive & believe me it supersedes the original one. Great recording 👏🏻🎅🏻
I love Mancera Instant Crush as a Baccarat Rouge alternative. Not a clone, but the same idea, only you can actually smell it and not go anosmic. I spent years wearing Fahrenheit, maybe I was wasting my time ;)
I recently started layering things that I don't really like alone. Ameer al oud is lattafas by the fireplace. I've never smelled by the fireplace but this one is interesting. It doesn't smell really sweet like a marshmallow there is no sweetness to it. This one all lives in the first spray really interesting pleasant smell but then on the dry down it smells like a sooty fireplace like you've been standing around a fire. To me it needed something sweet to carry it's interesting character from the top . I used Polo red extreme and it mixed so well with it! That sweet blood orange slight coffee little bit of ebony. It keeps the same smell throughout it's dry down it holds the same note sweet almost too sweet. Over the top of Ameer definitely something I'll be wearing this winter.
I have around 60 fragrances in my collections and a lot of niche ones too. Amouage reflection man has gotten me the most compliments. Even better is the Reflection 45. I get it that it's subjective but I guess 60 fragrances is a pretty good sample size for this one to be a easy recommendation. When I wear it, it's sucha nice rich smell all around me when I'm sitting in a theatre or a Broadway show. So I completely disagree with this review and the silage is mind blowing too
First off fragrances are personal, especially dependent on how they react with your body chemistry, second scents are personal, for ones own enjoyment. Most of the scents you mentioned in the DONT BUY LIST, I have received the most compliments from even though I bought them for myself. So in my opinion wear what works for you because at the end of the day YOU spend your own hard earned money to buy the scent, so its down to what you like.
I'm starting to get deeper into fragrances but I've been an avid Whiskey enthusiast for years (it's interesting how much these two niches have in common), but Creed Aventus to me is almost like the Pappy line of Whiskeys. It's like the one that is super hyped up and everyone wants to copy and any off brand or fragrance related to it is highly sought after. Also the price continues to rise on those brands yet the batches are beginning to decline in quality as the popularity increases. Just an interesting comparison I noticed
I do have the amouage reflection men and i can say they did an amazing job with,the scent is amazing something different and i do have the le male as well but between them 2 definitly i choose amouage
Keep doing work curly-girl. Some alternatives to check out: CREED- Armaf- Club De Nuit Intense - FAHRENHEIT- Rasasi- La Yuqawam . JOOP was like the LeMale of its day. Club banger. PB 1MM is the next Drakkar Noir . BEST Carolina Herrera is CH Prive. Monster of a frag.
Haha. Reflection is my signature. I'm straight but I totally understand the take on it here and it really made me laugh. To other people I probably do smell like a pus.sy who wants to be everyone's darling. But I don't wear fragrances for other people. I wear them for myself, like aromatherapy, and the smell of Reflection is one of my favorite smells on Earth.
@Vanille des orient Nice to hear a female who likes it for a guy! Refined is a great word for it. Reflection is not for cavemen. A lot of women prefer cavemen, though. To each their own.
Yeah. I have it, too. And I thought the First 2-3 times it's Like rich Gentleman Version of Le Male... But hell No... Complete different and still Like a rich Gentleman...
Absolutely agree with the Joop! My mom got it for me for Christmas (don't worry, she got me real fragrances too lol) as a last minute addition and literally apologized to me when we smelled it. I don't get how any man could wear it
I agree about Dior Fahrenheit. I'd always heard great things about it from other reviewers. When I saw a tester at Macy's, I tried it and thought it stunk of Axe and tires. Glad to hear it wasn't just me that thought that. 👍
Sauvage EDP was my first true Designer fragrance (apart from Hugo Boss). It was what I THOUGHT an attention grabbing fragrance should smell like. I realize I wasn’t wrong, as everybody has it and loves it, but it’s common place. It went from being my Dinner and Drink scent to my office scent. Like you said, it’s not bad, it’s just commonplace among guys who wear good fragrance.
In my experience, any leather based scent and 95% of oud based ones come across disgusting to women. That's just the way it is. The only mass appealing oud based scents are the ones that are not funky at all, seating in the background (e.g. MFK Oud Satin Mood). And Dior Sauvage is still my most complimented fragrance ever. I don't get the "everyone is wearing" if no more than 20 or 30% of men trully wear fragrances on a daily basis. But yeah, once you start to explore different scents you get bored by it very quickly (it happened with me)
I just bought dior fahrenheit parfum for my father yesterday, I find it disgusting but he loves it and doesn't want any other fragrance than that or clinique happy... so if it makes him happy I don't mind
I mostly agree with the list. Fahrenheit is a scent i will always associate with my father so it has kind of a special place in my heart, although i don’t really like it personally. I’ll have to disagree on toy boy though…my girlfriend absolutely loves the fragrance on me, even though i normally wear more “masculine” fragrances (leather, boozy, smoky). But it maybe is a cultural thing. In southern and eastern Europe the fragrance is acceptable and leans manly, but seems that western and northern europeans don’t really like it. Thats’s my two cents at least.
It’s sad when you are the Pioneers of Dior Savage and then you have to give it up because everyone uses it 7yrs later. It was a fun ride. It’s still a “safe” fragrance and there are still countries where it isn’t as common.
100% agree about Reflection Man. I blind bought it at one point (for a good price) and it is a nice scent...but, it was more feminine than I was expecting. However, layering it has been an interesting/pleasant experience.
I agree 100% with this entire list. Although I purchased an expensive sample of Montale Blue Amber which is disgusting. It made my ba$$s crawl up into my throat
You cannot over spray Blue Amber...To me, it smells like baby powder, but on a Mn, OH MY GOD!!! Sorry you had that experience, but maybe over time it may grow on you.☺
No solo nos gusta oler bien, sino también que a ellas les guste, así que esta es una muy buena reseña para tomar en cuenta a la hora de comprar. Gracias Michela, te amamos ♥
I agree so much about Baccarat, Toy Boy, Reflection, By the Fireplace and Chocolate Greedy.That's just exactly what I think! When I smelled Toy Boy for the first time I was thinking about my grandma. And once I smelled Baccarat rouge on a girl and it was absolutely amazing and I guess it was mixed with some shower gel or deodorant but usually it smells like iodine and bandages for me. We got the same noses haha And for Aventus/Sauvage/Invictus I guess these are just too annoying nowadays having a lot of clones and everybody wears it. I really don't get the hype around Bentley Intense cause for me it's too much of a Bay Leaf and I guess Bentley Absolute is way more interesting. And I'm not sure about Black Phantom by Kilian. I won't say it smells bad but it's definitely not what is called "Black Phantom"... maybe a friendly Casper ghost. Nothing so haunting or hidden about it or nothing similar to Rolls-Royce Phantom (It's pretty warm and sweet and it's funny to read "Memento Mori" on the bottle) Maybe I was expecting some gothic strict smell like Encre Noire or something with Incense but not something close to gourmand. The design is awesome though.
I bought Dior Fahrenheit several years ago and I didn't use it because's it's not my type of fragrance!! And I hate Sauvage too, it's annoying!! Your recommendations are great Michella ❤️😍 keep going great woman 💃
I actually agree with you on each of these mentioned. 👍🏼 Bentley for men Intense👎🏼 is the one I hate. I wanted to like it but their is something in it that turns my stomach. I test it periodically and I still hate it. 👎🏼
I agree with all of these but by the fireplace lol all my lady friends love it but my bottle smells more like sweet marshmallows and only little fire so maybe that's why Guys if you want a creed that will get you compliments then do Aventus Cologne. I sprayed it on my brother and when we went out he got 10 compliments. So if your going to spend the money get the gray bottle. Great video girl!
Agreed on L'aventure. After first week wearing and amount of compliments I bought another 100ml 😁. I mean I still had first bottle almost full. And I also really love that fragrance so it's a win-win.

@@patriklundsholm514 Not everyone cares about complements in terms of the attention. But to say compliments mean nothing is just objectively incorrect. It literally means the fragrance smells good to people. That's def something. There's 2 main reasons to wear fragrances. For yourself to enjoy the smell. And to have everyone around you to enjoy the smell.
I hate reflection man but I get compliments with it
I am 18 and love fahrenheit edt. It's the new formulation but i think it's not that different. I gotta say my friends say it is pretty harsh and overwhelming when sprayed on. But in the air when settled it is soooo nice. I actually like it soo much that i can wear it while sleeping.
Yeah man, it smells so good and just screams masculinity and confidence. Defo better than 95% of new fragrances
Yeah its strong when you first spray but after a few min and when youre actually out and people dont have their nose up against your skin its great.
I love the fact that you present good alternatives instead of just hating purely on a fragrance, good video!
I thought it must have been my personality, my lazy eye or my hairy shoulders freaking the ladies out - but it was really Fahrenheit all along. Thanks Michella!
🤣
guys.. for Dior Sauvage.. just use it, spray it, wear it.. when a woman says everybody in the world wear it.. it actually is NOT.. it is only noticeable for fragheads.
Lol Versace eros is better than Dior savauge imo
We can change you instead of changing fahrenheit
Respect
LOVE the honesty. People don't be butt hurt and stop crying like a baby
💯
Everything on this list gets me mad compliments... Even the "new" reformulation of creed aventus I don't have a problem with longevity or projection. To sum it up fragrances are subjective to each it's own.
that is why its best not to wear any fragrance at all, nobody gets offended!
@@midaignesvittu lol, try a skin scent your life will change. Instead of others smelling your sweat all day
Yes, hell yes, you nailed it. I also know many women that love sauvage and joop homme. And lets not forget: fragrances smell differently on different people, while somebody may smell like shit wearing joop, another person can smell fantastic, same goes for aventus etc..
I have never heard anybody like dior Farenheit
@@youngdrago2979 Gents scents does! 🤣
Very happy that I own a bunch of her alternative recommendations! Love the content. Keep it coming.
Literally said “Do not trust UA-cam reviewers.” Her words not mine.
Absolutely love the honest reviews🤣 So funny and entertaining to watch! Personally, Moschino Toy Boy works wonders for me, maybe the weather in my country but wow… The compliments i get from it is the highest. My top fragrance in my entire collection! But definitely not a blind buy, please try it out first!
FINALLY...straight out, knock 'em out honesty. Thank you. And hilarious at the same time. Keep on!
Great list. I couldn’t agree more about being different. Life is too short to not be unique.
💯👌
Good to see Justin here. My favourite fragrance reviewer.
I got toy boy a few days ago, got an interest for it because i saw many people liking it and many people hating it. For me it worked wonders, i noticed this perfume has great reviews in some countries and bad reviews in other countries. Generally the countries that speak a romance language view it as cool and masculine, i think it's a cultural type of thing, not every culture associates this kind of smell with masculinity. It worked for me, but i TOTALLY don't recommend it as a blind buy.
I love Toy Boy, really nice
It's great. At first I just got rose, now I smell the pepper strongly. Lasts all day.
I love that fragrance. It is my signature scent.
Yeah, I think that in most latin European culture, a man that mixes a little bit of feminity in his masculinity is considered sexy.
Think your stereotypical Don Juan, Zorro, etc. Long hair, skinny frame, dandy style, but very bold, in your face and flirtatious. That's the vibe that fits with Toy Boy imo.
My brother thought it was watermelon lol
like your style , the accent and your lingo - you keep it fresh and real - a fan for life now
I hated Fahrenheit and Joop when I was younger. But those scents were forever burnt in my memory and when I started collecting fragrances again I bought them and now thoroughly appreciate them for what they are. And I agree with you on toy boy but I still wear it when I’m by myself at the house because it’s such a powerful beast. Good video
Joop is a 90s masterpiece. I wore it proudly back then. Same with Polo, Drakkar Noir, and Cool Water.
Farenhieght is a 10/10 and my wife (who is also a total babe) loves it. Maybe we just love the stronger side of life. 😁
Fahrenheit is great 👍
It's all I've used since high school, and women love it.. used it about 20 years now 😅
Farengieght is old. I place it in the category of Tommy Hilfiger and polo sport. Smells nice, I'd give it to my son
I agree
She loves it because she wants you to wear a repellent. Ferenhieght is older than my grandfather and smells like him. Best way to test if she likes it, ask her to wear it for a few days😅
By the fireplace is absolutely incredible and never fails to garner compliments
Exactly. I don’t understand the hate. It’s a winter favorite and compliment getter for me.
Love the video and your strong opinions! Totally agree on Baccarat Rouge in particular. But you're waaaaay off on Fahrenheit, IMO. Way.
Fahrenheit is my all time favourite. i am close to 50 years old so have sampled 100's of fragrances over the years. it is so distinct.
I love it. My partner doesnt like it but alot of others do
Try Amouage Portrayal. A softened and upgraded version of Fahrenheit. I respect the OG, but Portrayal just blew my mind when I sprayed it.
I hated By the Fireplace it smells like a burnt marshmallow, glad i’m not the only one!
Toy boy worked for me. It is a bit challenging but it's really nice. I've gotten quite a bit of unsolicited unbiased compliments from it
Same experience, fragrances are simply subjective for the most part.
My own personal experience is that By the Fireplace has been one of my most complimented by women. Probably depends on where you live, when you wear it, etc, etc. For instance, people in smaller towns will more than likely have different taste than folks in bigger cities.
Reflection is what Le Malle wish it could be! Most men won’t agree with you on that one darling
Dior Fahrenheit always gets me complements 🤷🏽♂️
Maybe your skin is made by leather bro 😜
I agree with all your choices. All of them except Reflection Man :)
And in contrary, I get sick and headache from Azzaro wanted by night, it goes straight into my brain, with an itchy painful way.
I love that you said that you hate dior sauvage. God, how I hate that smell. I can't breathe with dior sauvage. I hate when people around me are wearing that perfume.
Wuss 😂
I walked in Macy's and before getting 10 yards from the fragrance department, all I could smell was Sauvage.. and I instantly put my mask back on! This stuff has become to common! Nearly everyone has it and wears it. This is one reason I'm getting more into the niche fragrances. I don't want to smell like the "mall" by wearing what everyone else is wearing!
Facts!!! But ironically, the sauvage "elixir" is DELICIOUS!!! It smells totally different than the other 3 sauvages. I swear
@@johncampbell5929 I will have to try Sauvage Elixir then! Hopefully, it's a fragrance that won't become overly popular and "run into the ground" like its flanker Sauvage. Thanks for the recommendation! 👍
@@halfnorfolk5310 💪
Great list, even though I don't agree on every single one of them, this was fun to watch! 👌
Thanks!
I can't stop listening to you, your accent is addictive🤣
Hqhahahha thank you❤
I love Fahrenheit edt reminds me of my high-school dayz 1994 🔥🔥
sorry but your friend Andrea from curly scents loves Dior Fahrenheit
as a 20 yr old guy I love how it smells
👍
Totally agree on getting Al Haramain L’Aventure. You won’t be disappointed!!!
I love these reviews, she is gorgeous, great sense of humor, and fantastic personality.
Thank you! 🤗❤️
I love Fahrentheit! A colleague was wearing it and I recognized the iconic scent trail. It's green, almost cooling with the violet leaf combined with the scent of hot leather seats on a sunny day. I genuinly prefer it over Sauvage, just dislike the intense ambroxan. I work at a fitness centre and it's all I smell on every guy.
Nah man, fahrenheit smells like burnt rubber. Gives me a headache
@@harshitkhera8926 Smells like burnt rubber on the skin, but the trail tho🤌 Sauvage smells funky to me, cuz too many funky people wear it.
@@norhal everyone is entitled to their opinions. I personally would not feel confident wearing a perfume that i don't like even if the scent trail is godly. But your argument is valid
@@norhalKouros is Funk n skunk 😉
Sauvage elixir is 🔥
Lessss goooo glad you’re not retiring haha. I find your ASMR very unique and no one else can replicate it. Like myself and others have said before, take inspiration from other successful ASMR creators when you’re lacking video ideas. Yeah the bumps on your face might be from when you shave you go over the same area too much.
Toy boy is 1 of my favorite I've gotten soooo many compliments on it even had a bar tender try to steal my 30ml but to each is own.
lol
I lot of people do wear Sauvage but I think far more people were wearing Aventus (or clones of it) to the point where everyone literally smelt the same. Personally, I always go for niche fragrances as I’ve no interest in doing what everyone else is doing and find them far more interesting. My personal hated fragrance, has always be Joop.. can’t stand the stuff, instant headache.
Same with my daily wear Versace eros better than all of them by far
Very detailed and I like the suggestions of something better.
Love your sense of humor,bad words, and a burp...hell yeah ❤
Crazy thing about Fahrenheit is that when it came out every woman I know was talking about how “sexy” it was. My girlfriend bought it for me and I didn’t like it at all but wore it anyway. Every girl we hung out with would compliment me 😂. Women will convince themselves they like a lot of shit that gets hype even though I really don’t think they do
I got to admit i rocked dior fahrenheit in the 90,s and thought i was the man at the disco..:D but i really loved the alternatives you choose
I like the honest way you talk about fragrances! I appreciate that and gives me a smile!! You are really funny! ❤️👍🏻
Toy boy is my top 3! Loool just goes to show how subjective fragrances are. I've also gotten compliments from it. Just dont blind buy it 😆
Toy boy is my top 5 , so unique and sexy smelling !
its like 35 bucks, blind buy it. its fantastic. floral, and sexy. women love it
Well that sucks --- Dior Fahrenheit is one of my favorite fragrances.
🤷♀️sorry....not sorry 🙂
With men come egos and defensive comments, but I truly appreciate your input and your recommendations for alternatives! Excellent video, I’ve subscribed and going down the rabbit hole of your video lists now 😊
I agree in most of the fragrances that have been mentioned….but bought One Million Prive & believe me it supersedes the original one. Great recording 👏🏻🎅🏻
I love Mancera Instant Crush as a Baccarat Rouge alternative. Not a clone, but the same idea, only you can actually smell it and not go anosmic.
I spent years wearing Fahrenheit, maybe I was wasting my time ;)
I agree 100% on Instant Crush over MJK!
I change perfumes often, but I always have one Fahrenheit on hand. and all the girls like him very much ;DDD
Fahrenheit is an absolute 80s classic.
For sure!
I own 6 from each list and my 5 most complimented out of those 12 are from the ‘don’t buy’ list 🤷♂️
I recently started layering things that I don't really like alone. Ameer al oud is lattafas by the fireplace. I've never smelled by the fireplace but this one is interesting. It doesn't smell really sweet like a marshmallow there is no sweetness to it. This one all lives in the first spray really interesting pleasant smell but then on the dry down it smells like a sooty fireplace like you've been standing around a fire. To me it needed something sweet to carry it's interesting character from the top . I used Polo red extreme and it mixed so well with it! That sweet blood orange slight coffee little bit of ebony. It keeps the same smell throughout it's dry down it holds the same note sweet almost too sweet. Over the top of Ameer definitely something I'll be wearing this winter.
I have around 60 fragrances in my collections and a lot of niche ones too. Amouage reflection man has gotten me the most compliments. Even better is the Reflection 45. I get it that it's subjective but I guess 60 fragrances is a pretty good sample size for this one to be a easy recommendation. When I wear it, it's sucha nice rich smell all around me when I'm sitting in a theatre or a Broadway show. So I completely disagree with this review and the silage is mind blowing too
Reflection is amazing
Reflection Man is one of the most wearable Amouage fragrances.
I like the Amouage Reflection too I think it's a good fragrance
Reflection man is 🔥..but sitting at a Broadway show is a zesty example 💅💅💅
I thought you would end up responding to her, but in the end you ended up validating what he said 💅💅💅
First off fragrances are personal, especially dependent on how they react with your body chemistry, second scents are personal, for ones own enjoyment. Most of the scents you mentioned in the DONT BUY LIST, I have received the most compliments from even though I bought them for myself. So in my opinion wear what works for you because at the end of the day YOU spend your own hard earned money to buy the scent, so its down to what you like.
Agreed.
I love to hear your opinions. Every man should be listening to a woman like you for everything.
I'm starting to get deeper into fragrances but I've been an avid Whiskey enthusiast for years (it's interesting how much these two niches have in common), but Creed Aventus to me is almost like the Pappy line of Whiskeys. It's like the one that is super hyped up and everyone wants to copy and any off brand or fragrance related to it is highly sought after. Also the price continues to rise on those brands yet the batches are beginning to decline in quality as the popularity increases. Just an interesting comparison I noticed
If you're into both you should find yourself a bottle of Thierry Mugler Pure Malt. And combine the love of whiskey and cologne.
I do have the amouage reflection men and i can say they did an amazing job with,the scent is amazing something different and i do have the le male as well but between them 2 definitly i choose amouage
Came across your channel randomly and watched to the end, because of your personality and candid remarks.
Best video in months, Michella! Great tips, funny, clever: perfect. Congrants!
Thanks!
Keep doing work curly-girl. Some alternatives to check out: CREED- Armaf- Club De Nuit Intense - FAHRENHEIT- Rasasi- La Yuqawam . JOOP was like the LeMale of its day. Club banger. PB 1MM is the next Drakkar Noir . BEST Carolina Herrera is CH Prive. Monster of a frag.
Couldn’t agree more on the ToyBoy.. I fell for the hype and bought it, and later a gave it to a friend
Haha. Reflection is my signature. I'm straight but I totally understand the take on it here and it really made me laugh. To other people I probably do smell like a pus.sy who wants to be everyone's darling. But I don't wear fragrances for other people. I wear them for myself, like aromatherapy, and the smell of Reflection is one of my favorite smells on Earth.
@Vanille des orient Nice to hear a female who likes it for a guy! Refined is a great word for it. Reflection is not for cavemen. A lot of women prefer cavemen, though. To each their own.
@Vanille des orient I wish that wasn't so rare. Will you be my valentine? 🙂
@Vanille des orient Awww. . Happy that you 2 found each other.
Bro, reflection man is FIRE. I dont know what she's talking about in this video. It's amazing.
Yeah. I have it, too. And I thought the First 2-3 times it's Like rich Gentleman Version of Le Male... But hell No... Complete different and still Like a rich Gentleman...
Absolutely agree with the Joop! My mom got it for me for Christmas (don't worry, she got me real fragrances too lol) as a last minute addition and literally apologized to me when we smelled it. I don't get how any man could wear it
you needed to buy Joop the blue bottle cologne
I've only had positive responses when I wear Fahrenheit. It is,and always will be my favorite.
Many people would think you smell like s*ite, they just don’t have the heart to tell you
I agree about Dior Fahrenheit. I'd always heard great things about it from other reviewers. When I saw a tester at Macy's, I tried it and thought it stunk of Axe and tires. Glad to hear it wasn't just me that thought that. 👍
It smells like gasoline for a few minutes (if you got the 'good' recent formulation that is). Wait for the mid and drydown though ;)
It is awful. One of the worst things I've ever smelled.
Sauvage EDP was my first true Designer fragrance (apart from Hugo Boss). It was what I THOUGHT an attention grabbing fragrance should smell like. I realize I wasn’t wrong, as everybody has it and loves it, but it’s common place. It went from being my Dinner and Drink scent to my office scent. Like you said, it’s not bad, it’s just commonplace among guys who wear good fragrance.
Some of these fragrances gave your accent an irish ring to it and it was awesome! Also, funniest video so far, love the humor.
I really like Dylan Blue, but Sauvage is only one. Bigger projections, more versatile and more compliments. Still one of the best 👍
But everyone wears sauvage. Get some originality
@@will2778 by everyone, you mean about 10% (if that) of men in a well off city.
In my experience, any leather based scent and 95% of oud based ones come across disgusting to women. That's just the way it is. The only mass appealing oud based scents are the ones that are not funky at all, seating in the background (e.g. MFK Oud Satin Mood).
And Dior Sauvage is still my most complimented fragrance ever. I don't get the "everyone is wearing" if no more than 20 or 30% of men trully wear fragrances on a daily basis. But yeah, once you start to explore different scents you get bored by it very quickly (it happened with me)
good thing fahrenheit isnt leather based
Most ladles prefer synthetic ouds
Agreed
Apparently this guy never wore Versace eros beats Dior savauge Everytime
Thank you for offering alternatives!
I just bought dior fahrenheit parfum for my father yesterday, I find it disgusting but he loves it and doesn't want any other fragrance than that or clinique happy... so if it makes him happy I don't mind
Parfum is not EDT and ofc it's good. Don't worry! EDT has been reformulated to death.
If it makes him happy it's all good ❤
Parfum doesn’t have the rubber/gasoline smell.
You're Dad has good taste!!
I mostly agree with the list. Fahrenheit is a scent i will always associate with my father so it has kind of a special place in my heart, although i don’t really like it personally. I’ll have to disagree on toy boy though…my girlfriend absolutely loves the fragrance on me, even though i normally wear more “masculine” fragrances (leather, boozy, smoky). But it maybe is a cultural thing. In southern and eastern Europe the fragrance is acceptable and leans manly, but seems that western and northern europeans don’t really like it. Thats’s my two cents at least.
The opening line was pure bliss 😭❤
It’s sad when you are the Pioneers of Dior Savage and then you have to give it up because everyone uses it 7yrs later. It was a fun ride. It’s still a “safe” fragrance and there are still countries where it isn’t as common.
I swear. I feel ur pain.
100% agree about Reflection Man. I blind bought it at one point (for a good price) and it is a nice scent...but, it was more feminine than I was expecting. However, layering it has been an interesting/pleasant experience.
💯
Curly, I follow your lead. You put a brother down on what the ladies really like. I were "Curly Approve Fragrances". Thanks sister 👍🏾💯😁
I agree 100% with this entire list. Although I purchased an expensive sample of Montale Blue Amber which is disgusting. It made my ba$$s crawl up into my throat
🤣
You cannot over spray Blue Amber...To me, it smells like baby powder, but on a Mn, OH MY GOD!!! Sorry you had that experience, but maybe over time it may grow on you.☺
@@cindym.9029 oh yes you can…uuuuuuuugh
No solo nos gusta oler bien, sino también que a ellas les guste, así que esta es una muy buena reseña para tomar en cuenta a la hora de comprar. Gracias Michela, te amamos ♥
I agree so much about Baccarat, Toy Boy, Reflection, By the Fireplace and Chocolate Greedy.That's just exactly what I think! When I smelled Toy Boy for the first time I was thinking about my grandma. And once I smelled Baccarat rouge on a girl and it was absolutely amazing and I guess it was mixed with some shower gel or deodorant but usually it smells like iodine and bandages for me. We got the same noses haha And for Aventus/Sauvage/Invictus I guess these are just too annoying nowadays having a lot of clones and everybody wears it.
I really don't get the hype around Bentley Intense cause for me it's too much of a Bay Leaf and I guess Bentley Absolute is way more interesting. And I'm not sure about Black Phantom by Kilian. I won't say it smells bad but it's definitely not what is called "Black Phantom"... maybe a friendly Casper ghost. Nothing so haunting or hidden about it or nothing similar to Rolls-Royce Phantom (It's pretty warm and sweet and it's funny to read "Memento Mori" on the bottle) Maybe I was expecting some gothic strict smell like Encre Noire or something with Incense but not something close to gourmand. The design is awesome though.
I bought Dior Fahrenheit several years ago and I didn't use it because's it's not my type of fragrance!! And I hate Sauvage too, it's annoying!!
Your recommendations are great Michella ❤️😍 keep going great woman 💃
Thank you! ❤😊
hello , can you sell me your fahrenheit bottle ,? it is my fave!!!
I actually agree with you on each of these mentioned. 👍🏼
Bentley for men Intense👎🏼 is the one I hate. I wanted to like it but their is something in it that turns my stomach. I test it periodically and I still hate it. 👎🏼
I was going to say the same...it's gross
First buy Fahrenheit at 2000. About 23 years ago. Smell so fantastic. It's not same anymore after so many reformulated.
I agree with all of these but by the fireplace lol all my lady friends love it but my bottle smells more like sweet marshmallows and only little fire so maybe that's why
Guys if you want a creed that will get you compliments then do Aventus Cologne. I sprayed it on my brother and when we went out he got 10 compliments. So if your going to spend the money get the gray bottle.
Great video girl!
Agreed on L'aventure. After first week wearing and amount of compliments I bought another 100ml 😁. I mean I still had first bottle almost full. And I also really love that fragrance so it's a win-win.
I agree on the Dior Sauvage. I literally had to stop wearing it because guys at work over-sprayed it and now the smell gives me a headache.
