I have a feeling you might have been referencing to a certain robes08 who was calling out a bunch of influencers for being shills for desirtoxic l’intense, i used to respect his opinion but him calling u out when you clearly weren’t even that impressed or hyping it up in your shorts kinda threw me off. Imo ur one of the most genuine reviewers out there, pretty much the only reviewer i watch💯
Exactly my thoughts. He is definitely aware of the video. But I'm glad he doesn't directly feed into the unnecessary drama. Robes video was just another one highlighting something we know about FragCom, but not doing enough research on each creator beyond surface level judging, is not only a disservice to the person, but makes you look as a resentful fool. Justin is one of the only creators whose opinion I take seriously. Putting him alongside the likes of Erica or Cuba is just ridiculous lmao
Robes had a very good point. i mean how many times have you seen it on a top 10? 85% of YT/tiktok influencers are shills, maybe not for desir, but other houses... justin is great but some of these Zaharoff bros make me sick. (theyre really not that good)
@@tjpfz6 He would’ve had a good point if he did some actual research instead of throwing people who didn’t deserve it under the bus and coming off as a hater. To me he came off very righteous and resentful, if you want to call people out, call the right people out and do careful research, so youre not just throwing around wild accusations. Furthermore, if there was a brand that you loved, and they sent u a fragrance, would you not talk about it? Would you not be excited? Reviewers are humans too lol, they can be susceptible to excitement. Robes general point i agree with, but it could’ve been done much more respectfully and considerate.
😂nah robes is right in his assessment too many Shills and hype men done ruined the experiences of many newbies such as myself who spent a couple grand on short lived bulksht
Burlington1819 may very well be the classiest freshie. It smells natural and all the notes play a part but none more than the grapefruit and cumin to my nose
Got Burlington 1819 thanks to you and TLTG and I have loved it immensely. Cumin is definitely there for me but its more of a background player on me that makes it sharper instead of smelling like b/o. The main parts on me are the grapefruit, mint, saffron and the smell of soil after a rainy day (oak moss). Absolutely love the way it changes through the wearing and had to make it my signature. Super versatile scent ❤
Great list! I would choose Uden for Xerjoff. It's has bright citruses and the warm amber and booziness. For me, it works year-round and for all occasions
I got a sample of mefisto months ago and my wife loved it but i didn't so much right off. This vid made me go back and check it out again and man this stuff is good! Had to check to make sure my wife still had the same reaction so yeah.....ordering a full bottle! Appreciate you my man!👍🏾
Oef difficult one with these great houses. Which would be my choice? - Micallef: DesirToxic/Osaïto - AdP: Fico di Amalfi - Mancera: Sicily (bored by Cedrat Boisé - Roja: Burlington 1819 - Lalique: Pour Homme Lion - Hermes: TdH Eau Givrée - Xerjoff: 40 knots. (The classy versatility king) - Brioni: EDP intense. Also works great during summer evenings or in the office (In northwest Europe climate). Haven't smelled Suave yet.
I tried nethum man 24 and b683 extrait randomly just today and omg become some of my favorite ever perfumes. Sometimes there are perfumes less known that smells amazingly good.
I have all three H24s, but I think the EDT is a little nicer, and more unique than the EDP. However, I agree with you of them both better (subjectively) than their newest flanker. The EDT is just very very special.
Great vid. Love the Colonia line but for me, Colonia Essenza hits hardest, especially in spring and summer. Classy and super old school in feel without going too "hotel soap bar of yesteryear" aromatic, like Floris No. 89 or something, IMO...
@@stayfreshproductions yeah, i am subbed, so i don’t know why I wasn’t seeing them. It happens with a few people i follow. I get plenty of lousy videos served though.
@@blee1234us yes I have I bought MM x Gent Scents EDGEWATER but gifted to my nephew because it stays sweet for too long long. I can deal with Sweet notes on an opening but not throughout. I tested out Terra Nova but I already have that scent profile with my afnan taurathi bleu. Which of course are takes on Bulgari Tyger. I own Ktoret 139 Spice but it also stays to sweet for to long. I need a more green and earthy drydown. My most cherished of my collection is Terre D Hermes Intense Vetiver and Edt. Then I’m gonna die loving the Creed Aventus dna. Then it’s my Encre Noire collection. Guerlain L’Homme Ideal EDP, Bleu De Chanel, Tom Ford Ombré Leather. Those are my most worn fragrances.
@jusskitten9773 thanks for the insight. If you like the aventus DNA, you might want to try Jet black intense, and even 511 Black Tie. They are both solid. Thanks for the tip on the Terre de Hermes intense vetiver. I didn't know I liked vetiver until I tried MM Zest and vetiver. I love that scent so I may try the Hermes. Thanks for the insight. Stay strong brother
I'm a sucker for fruits, so for Mancera I'd go to Cedrat Boise or Sicily. For Hermes I would agree with you, H24 EDP is so beautiful and different.. No experience with the rest of the houses. Quick question, is H24 EDP considered a barbershop fragrance?
I gonna say i'm not a fan of Xerjoff's but the most intresting and highest quality Xerjoff i've smelled has to be LUXOR. I would highly recommand you test this one out, it might blow you away with the quality of the oud and the tobacco.
I just blind-bought Terre De Hermes L'eau Intense Vetiver, and it smells like Colonia Intensa's big brother. Very similar to my nose. You get that too? Luckily I really love them both.
Love the series, Mancera perfumes feel incomplete to me somehow, like an imperfect painting or a discordant cover song, not sure why.. In contrast, Aqua di Parma is one of those houses where I find it hard to choose from because most of their scents are amazing. Intensa is probably my favourite. I picked a 50 ml in 2015 and I think it was the original Colonia, I used it all by 2018 or so, have been yearning to get something from the house and can't decide between Fico di amalfi and Colonia Intensa.. Haven't tried Burlington but with Rojas I'd go Ilysium as I think its very versatile. As for Lalique, I'd have to try Indigo as Encre Black Extreme is my favorite from the brand but hardly versatile. H24 EDP is really nice, the Herb Viver to me smells like spring rain, I really like it. Have to give Mefisto a wearing to judge Xerjof. Have to try the Brioni perfumes.
HI Justin thanks for this amazing review could you do a review on the fragrances house of Electimuss London they have some amazing scent like Spice D arno
I only purchase small bottles (when possible) because when you rotate, and have a large collection, I don't see the value in spending more money. Just my opinion. I actually wish I could purchase 1oz bottles!
Hey Justin, I’ve been watching your channel for years and have heard you go back on forth on the issues of UA-camrs right to monetize the platform as they should. My issue with your stance on monetization is that while you are free to do so, (in a very brazen way in some cases) you can no longer expect viewers to be trusting of your opinions and views about said perfume I.e it’s why pharma reps are no longer allowed in doctors offices, gifts cannot be accepted by government officials (I realize these are exerted examples that have far more drastic consequences). You are free to make $$$, I simply can no longer trust your point of view… which is why I was here in the first place.
Just try fragrances he’s reviewed and see if you agree with him and his nose… simple as that. Samples are like $4… simply not trusting someone because they get free bottles is very goofy.
@@jonritchey8653 I didn’t say anything about free bottles, I said monetize. Let me know the next time you give negative advice about something you’re profiting from. We’ll see how goofy it looks when the $$ well runs dry.
@ one of the ways he gets monetization is free bottles… lol. Not trusting him for receiving money means you can’t trust anyone with any platform about anything. Did you know that your mechanic is monetized!? And he gives you opinions about your car repairs!!! lol
Shut uuuuupp! Y'all just annoying for no reason other than to irritate someone. It's simple, don't watch, don't trust his opinions. Just keep it pushing. Lots of other channels out there or, or...create your own. Problem solved. Damn!
I love how you had the balls to stand up to the bs.. for DesirToxic Intense. Keep it up 👍

I've got Colonia Intensa and agree... It's so subtle and it's good for warmer weather. Very classy. Elegant but not stuffy.
Burlington1819 may very well be the classiest freshie. It smells natural and all the notes play a part but none more than the grapefruit and cumin to my nose
Justin with the classiest clapback of the year 😂😂

I love 1819 so dam good. Now I love Isola Blu and some people tell me it is better
I think I prefer Isola Blu slightly more as well
Hi, Justin. Just wanted to let you know that I have, indeed, tried Colonia Intensa. I have it, it's great. Cheers.
Great to hear!

Thanks for the informative video Justin ✌️
You bet!
I love the freshness of H24 edp with enough depth and richness.
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
I was questioning myself if Mefisto can be worn in the colder months lol glad you answered my questions
I adore Burlington 1819 from ROJA
Another good vid, Justin! H24 edp is one of my favorites 👌🏿
Good choice!
I don’t know why but I haven’t gotten served your videos in months, and suddenly they are showing up again. 🎉

Justin I just purchased Micheal Malul x Esquire “Modern Poet” and it’s Cartier “Declaration” EDT minus that Cumin note that comes off as BO.
I love MM fragrances... I'm up to 5 and have my eye on a few of the new ones. Did you smell any of the others in that line?

They have Fougere Royal for less than $100 using their 11% coupon, so you know I scooped it up right away.
Such a great fragrance💯

DesirToxic has always had my limbic brain tripping
HI Justin thanks for this amazing video could you do a review on the fragrances house of Bois 1920 they have some great gems like Marasma
The only one I have is Dolce Di Giorno and I’ve talked about it a lot.
Don't forget where the fragrantica pros and cons section came from: An AI script. Some of the comments are pure moonspeak lunacy.
Justin: don't overspray!
Also Justin: 5 sprays of Sauvage Elixir, no biggie
Jokes aside, do not overspray, people!
Funny enough I wore Aoud Lemon Mint last night to bed. Probably the first wearing all year
I love Xerjoff, but mefisto hits me the wrong way. I also do not like silver mountain water. It must be the profile
hermes vives is fresh and strong for hot days
Justin didn’t have to get all outta character and scream and yell reckless… Jadakiss
I actually just ordered Burlington 1819 yesterday, so excited for it to arrive.
HI Justin thanks for this amazing review could you do a review on the fragrances house of Electimuss London they have some amazing scent like Spice D arno
I have Spice D’Arno and I have featured it in videos before
Lmao. Handling the shade with class and just the right amount of snark.
Isn’t the cumin overpowering in Burlington? It’s all
Over the reviews. W
No
I don't think so.
@BlessedDelight1 1819 you can wear it all year round
I used to think justin had massive hands. Then i realized his collection has a lot of 1.7oz bottles. Which makes sense as it all cant be worn.
I do have big hands tho!
I only purchase small bottles (when possible) because when you rotate, and have a large collection, I don't see the value in spending more money. Just my opinion.
I actually wish I could purchase 1oz bottles!
@@blee1234usi do the exact same, mostly 50ml, handful of 100ml. (And never 200ml, id like to be able to travel on plane with it)
