    It's a popular complaint that PDM makes versions of trendy DNA instead of going more original. Think of it this way though: they zero in on a DNA that people really like and then make the best version if it with a signature twist. Thats kinda cool. If you already like something, wouldn't you like it even better if it was even better?

    Really incredible video as always man! My thoughts as a guy who owns or is planning to own an alarming amount of the fragrances mentioned in this video:
    I really love Khamrah, and I think it's because I never smelled angel's share (I very rarely buy anything over $100/100ml) and just approached it as a standalone fragrance. It's surprising that I like it as much as I do, since I didn't really think I liked sweet fragrances much prior to owning Khamrah. The cinnamon and dates and just the creaminess of it are just awesome for me and even more so because I didn't expect to love it as much as I do. It's not groundbreaking or anything, but it is quite nice considering the price. I'm sure Angel's Share is awesome but it's just at a price point I don't see myself reaching any time soon.
    It's interesting you bring up black orchid because that's what I was planning to buy next - not the parfum, but just the regular black orchid. I've heard a lot of people saying it's very thick and a little sickly sweet, which has made me hesitate a bit but I really love dark, earthy fragrances, which I also hear this is. Plus, it's relatively cheap compared to other Tom Ford fragrances. Toy Boy, Gucci Guilty Absolute, and Encre Noire are all fragrances I love so I can see myself loving Black Orchid. I also run hot as an individual so fragrances that last are very attractive to me in general because I tend to "activate" fragrances pretty quickly and I feel like a lot of fragrances just disappear off of me quickly possibly due to that.
    I actually own Homme 2020 and I really do love it but it just doesn't last very long on me. Definitely basic, and I think I'd probably go for Terre D'Hermes or BDC next, but basic isn't a bad thing for me. I have a lot of stuff you can't wear to more formal occasions and Homme 2020 fills that space in my collection for me. I'd just describe it as corporate lol. Boring and mass appealing, but that's just what you need from a fragrance sometimes.

    I’m pretty new to the fragrance ‘hobby’ so I don’t have many regrets except Versace Eros Flame EDP.
    Luckily i got a used small bottle for $20 from a friend.
    I’m really going to take into consideration what you said at the beginning about ‘quality not quantity’ because I don’t want to amass a huge collection.

      @Jason-Moon 7 місяців тому +3

      Thanks for sharing about where you are with it. When I was first starting out with the hobby, I was finishing bottles! I would go through a whole bottle when I got something I liked. So that led me to feel like I needed more so I wouldn't run out. Now that I went crazy and got so many, I look back and realize that if I could change it, I would. I would 💯 rather have less bottles of better fragrances than more bottles of fragrances I didn't like as much. I would spend my money on quality over quantity. Wish I knew that sooner.

      Even though I don’t have regrets about my recent purchases for the most part, I’m definitely finding out what scents I’m into and what I won’t be purchasing again.
      Half of them are designer and half clones, to “get ideas of the scent DNA” and most of them are pretty good, but I can’t help to think that it could have gotten me some better quality juice with all that money I have been spending recently.
      Pretty much could have gotten me a Parfums De Marley by now 😂 But I wouldn’t have no idea where to begin, and now I do lol trial and error i guess.

      Shelve the Eros and come back to it in like a year and it will probably smell more interesting to you. Your tastes and the way you register notes change a lot early on. When I first started, Eros EDP actually made me nauseous. Flame can be a challenging mix of citrus, spice, and gourmand notes and that hurt it when it released.

Side note, an excellent cheapie that’s more on the musky side that works well with the proper pheromones at the gym is Mont Blanc legend Red, mainly due to the Blood Orange note.

I like vanilla a ton and everywhere and everyone was saying it is one of the best vanilla fragrances on the market. It is a great fragrance, its just not for me. It reminds me of my mother and is too feminine for me. So lesson learned. No more blind buys and I need to go to a brick and mortar store and figure out what I like.

    Regrets I avoided: Most youtuber hyped fragances. Sweet, vanilla and aventus clones. Luckily I found soon I that, even if I like the smell, I don’t like to smell like this.

    I'm new to colognes/this community. But from what I've noticed, colognes are really subjective. When you're on youtube especially, you're really only hearing one person's opinion. Never forget that. I'm taking my time just trying cheap stuff and sampling for now.

    My biggest fragrance regrets recently have been:
    - Le Male Le Parfum - it’s a simple scent that lacks complexity. Overrated.
    - Le Male OG - it used to be great but it’s been reformulated and isn’t as good
    - H24 EDT
    - Burberry London - used to be amazing but now it is so weak.

      I haven’t tried the EDP, which may be much better. The EDT is good for the first few hours, but the metallic drydown is screechy and not likeable in my opinion. At best, it’s a meh fragrance. Terre D’Hermes EDT works for the same occasions as H24 EDT but does it much much better!

    Agree with chopard oud malaki, i bought it and it smells old. Something an old person would wear and not special. Missoni parfum i bought and dislike. Has something in it that turns me off, not refined like bleu de chanel. Hugo by hugo boss - it is a good scent but becomes a skin scent in an hour. Lattafa Asad, smells like a heavy middle eastern thing, not like elixir at all.
    Dior 2020 - never bought it but what a mistake by dior removing the iris. They just should of made a new fragrance line. Also the new dior homme sport is ruined no more iris.
    Jpg le male le parfum - smells like heavy grandma soap to me and i almost never wear it. Givenchy gentleman edp boisee - smells good on a tester strip - but the smell gets old real quick when wearing it.

    Biggest regret lately was a blind buy of Bentley for Men EDT. After hearing all the praise for Bentley for Men Intense with the caveat of it being so freaking strong and, well, intense...I figured I'd give the original a try. Big mistake. It is absolutely real, bought from a reputable seller, and it's so weak! It performs weaker than an after shave. I've worn it 3 times and half the 3.3 is gone. Have to reapply every 2 hours on skin, 10-15 sprays on clothing won't make it to the end of the day. Too bad, it's really is a wonderful scent but pathetically weak.

    regretted le male le parfum. i only have a small collection, but i bought a sample of it a while ago and i remember not liking it. i remember saying it smelt cheap and kind of sickly. for some reason though i kept smelling my sample and changed my mind. when i bought a full bottle, it didn't seem too similar to my sample. the drydown i really dislike, its almost old ladyish. maybe i just don't like florals at all but i really dislike them in here. i'm sure i remember my sample being sweeter. i wish i could just take out the floral notes and amp up the vanilla and spiciness.
