It's no secret that there is a minority of fragrances in this community that are HYPED beyond belief (many for good reason), but unfortunately this results in TOO many other fantastic fragrances, often from the same brands, falling through the cracks into relative obscurity. This video is simply meant to retrieve 5 fragrances that fall into this category, and bring them the notoriety they deserve.

I am glad Zefiro continues to go unnoticed, it is my signature when I want to put something original and unique.
Missed it @$98 smh now I'm kicking myself.
It's a fantastic fragrance. Xerjoff doesn't do much for me at all, but Zefiro (and 1888) are very memorable and fantastic.
I love the series, please continue! And I love Zefiro, it could be a signature scent for me. It reminds me of walking into a church and the scent of the polished oak pews, with that lingering smell of incense and the sweet smells of flowers on the altar. It's amazing!
I definitely went straight to Enigma for Roja
Naxos is my favorite cool/cold weather fragrance and Nio is my favorite summer fragrance. I think of them equally when I hear the name Xerjoff.
Here are the fragrances that came to mind:
Kilian - Black Phantom
Creed - Aventus
Xerjoff - Renaissance
Roja - Elysium
Acqua Di Parma - Oud
Love this concept, and would love to see more videos like this!
For whatever reason the Kilian I thought of was "Intoxicated," a fragrance that I, 1) have not smelled, and 2) would not have picked over a handful of other Kilians I already do like...
Thank you! Intoxicated is wonderful.
I love both the Killian and Zefiro. You're right both are beautiful and strangely not talked about. Again I prefer them to Angel Share and Naxos. By a long way ! Both have Mathieu Nardin as the perfumer who clearly is as underrated as the fragrances. Keep up the great work. Love from London 👌🏿
I totally agree! Thank you!
All were correct for me aside from roja... my brain went straight to enigma. Which is my favorite from the house
I LOVEEEE this, we neeeed this as a series
Definitely
Agreed
Ha! Naxos wouldn't be my first thought for Xerjoff. But I've sampled 60 frags from them. And I realize now that it's only a third of what they offer. Zefiro is an 8 to me, unique and very office friendly, Richwood is a 9.3
I love Fico di Amalfi! Fig is one of my favorite notes. I was glad to get ahold of a 5oz. bottle for a really good price (which is easily done nowadays).
Zefiro is my absolute favorite fragrance all time, followed closely by
Amouage Reflection Man! Wore it at my wedding and it got featured in my pictures and was highly complimented by many.
I just got Naxos and Zefiro in 2ml. I tried Naxos and it was amazing. And it DOES SMELL LIKE SICILY. It’s inspired by it and I totally feel it in the scent. Particularly that honey-lemon combo.
I still have to try Zeriro.
Thinking of you, Grace, and your child to be. Happy for you.
Wife and I just found we’re pregnant with our second after a year of trying. No feeling quite like it.
Great video btw haha
That is awesome! Congratulations!
Great list…I myself share the love for ADP Colonia Futura, just a great fragrance. IMO, it is this blend of a modern take on Colonia along with blends of Acqua Di Gio Profumo and Dior Eau Sauvage.
Black phantom is what came to mind with Kilian
With Kilian what comes to mind is expensive mediocrity.
Amd below average performance😂 straight to heaven smells incredinle but so weak@@apollo5261
@@apollo5261yeah 🤣🤣 but i liked some of them. Apple brandy, Single Malt and Sacred Wood. I cannot stand angel share
Apple Brandy on the Rocks was the one from me. God it's so good
@@apollo5261 nooo 💔 I actually love the house but to each its own. Respectfully
Agree with the very popular options but if i may just mention other under the radar or not as popular frags.
Kilian - Smoking Hot
Xerjoff - Uden
Roja - A Midsummer Dream
Acqua Di Parma - Mirto Di Panarea
Yes i only mentioned 4 coz the 5th brand just isnt worth it given everything theyve basically watered down; and i say this as someone who isnt concerned about performance but the prices of that brand are just unreasonable considering the batch variation and poor consistency
Uden and Smoking Hot are full bangers.
For me Killian brings to mind “Dark Lord” which I really do not like 😂, but I appreciate it. I love moonlight in heaven and intoxicated especially. L’heure verte is so vivid, gives me impressionistic painting vibes💯
Zefiro! By far my favorite of that Xerjoff series. Pulling off aromatic incense-forward fragrance is wizardry. I love it. Oddly enough, my favorite Killian fragrance is Sacred Wood. One of the most beautiful sandalwood fragrances I have. Love the stuff!
Great video! I’d like to see a video down this line but with frags from houses that people don’t know. A series would be great.
I like this series because it could seemingly be endless... especially for Xerjoff 😅
I did think of elysium and I appreciate the shoutout 🙏
For me from xerjoff was 40 knots, from Roja was Danger or Burlington, from Creed was definitely Himalaya and from Acqua di Parma was Colonia Esenza
A lot of people complain about the performance and never consider the condition of their skin. I’m like you fragrances tend to last longer on me I honestly don’t know why sometimes my skin is dry other times it feels more moisturized 🤷🏾♂️.
Word!! Folks overlook themselves first, almost every time.
I was hoping you were going for Zefiro. I have a sample and I love it. It's on my list for a full bottle. Zefiro transports me.
Creed Vetiver Geranium, I blind bought it because another reviewer rated this as one of their top 3 Creeds. I appreciate a good vetiver. First spray….old lady vibe. I soldier on giving it more wearings.
If you don’t love it, that’s ok! Geranium can behave that way for some people
Had a bad experience with Angel’s Share and had to scrub it off. Black Phantom & Straight to Heaven are my go-to recommendations now
I thought i was the only one knowing and love Richwood ... :)
One of my favorites from ADP is Arancia di Capri. Such an uplifting fragrance but the citrus notes are quite volatile so I can only smell the fragrance for 30-60 min.
Sandalo is another from the house that I really enjoy.
Arancia is so good!
@@serpentbourn138 Fruity Pebbles 😂
I got myself a sample box of Acqua di Parma’s & theres a few really floating my gondola, Mandorlo di Sicilia & Arancia di Capri especially. Very underrated house
with their performance and their lack of diversity I won't say they are underrated
I snagged a bottle of ADP futura. It was a blind buy, but in my defense I saw it for a price so ridiculous I had to get it. It was less than some popular designer fragrances on the online market. Literally felt like I stole it 😂. Admittedly it’s a great fragrance but it does not outshine its older brother the original colonia to my nose. Now, the essenza and the intensa, those two hit hard.
I have Zefiro in my collection. I cop'd Naxos and Zefiro @ the same time. Been wearing Zefiro for at least four years. Nobody is going to smell like you at all. Definitely one of my favorites from the brand. 💨👃🏾
You're not wrong about the first thought when it comes to Roja. And while I do enjoy Elysium, I don't love it enough for a full bottle. It's a summer fragrance for me and the market for summer scents is highly saturated in my opinion. I don't need to go to Elysium to fill that utility.
That vetiver geranium sounds awesome, thank you for that recommendation! Another great vid Justin
Yea I didn't know it even existed
I hope you can sample it!
Funny enough because when you talked about Kilian, my first thought was Straight to Heaven. It came out first and it's my favorite. An amazing woody gem :)
Definitely, a part two! Fascinating gems!💎
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
The Rhubarb really adds to eau intense. It was one of my go to's over the summer for nights out. Elysium PPH is my summer classy scent and it blows the EDP out of the water. Both perform great for me, but the EDP doesn't perform for me at all.
I think you are into something really special with Richwood despite the high price tag.
Zefiro is my favorite Xerjoff, edging my 2nd favorite Renaissance.
Alexandria II is the first that came to my mind when i Listen Xerjoff.
Yes, Zefiro!! And I'm not a man,😀but it's one of my best from Xerjoff. The honey note is addictive to me.
I love Richwood. Looking forward to you opening it.
Please make part 2 i really love the video❤
Man its been awhile since i commented. Bro i still appreciate your fragrance content and always sample and end up buying your recommendations. Also i keep a bottle JV Vintage bc that was my first fragrance i purchased you recommended not as long lasting but still good stuff and get compliments. 👌🏾
Good to see you bro!
The 1st Creed I ever encountered randomly cologne shopping at TJ Maxx was Green Irish Tweed back in 2008 I had never heard of Creed prior to that & got it for $60 blind buy. Only later to find out the brand cost way more when I went to buy it at a department store & found out it actually cost around $285.
Richwood is gorgeous!
Great topic! Futura is very likely my favorite from the Colonia line.
I really want to smell Uden shooting stars , I hear it’s like my favorite Channel Allure Homme but better.
It is a little similar to it!
Trussardi Via Fiori Chiari is one that comes to mind. It is a massively underrated fragrance that I believe you should give a try.
I been praising L'Heure Verte since I smelled it a little more then a year ago. Love it, Own it, Wear it.
Very hot take... Naxos is the worst fragrance in the 1861 line... Decas needs more love.
I like these vids keep them coming.
Decas 🔥
One cheek on the horse LMAO
Hecka SUS 😂
Hi Justin thanks for this amazing video could you do a review on the fragrances house of the Harmonist they have Some gems like Hypnotizing Fire looking out for a video soon
from Killian, I thought of Vodka on the Rocks, but from Creed - the one that came to mind was CDNIM, not Aventus :)))
and from Aqua di Parma, I thought of Colonia - I love that line
The first Kilians’ that came to mind for me are Black Phantom & Intoxicated.
Great video and choices as always, my brother. I knew all the ones you figured we were thinking about, minus the AdP (I was expecting Colonia Club or Essenza).
The ones that come to my mind, from the respective houses were Apple Brandy, Neroli Sauvage (or Bois Du Portugal), Creation-E, Alexandria II & Sandolo EDP.
Good video concept. Others should follow. There are some many hidden gems out there...maybe you should do part two with MFk 540 😅
😆
Naxos is really just super strong for people who want to be noticed. "Give me the bEaSt MoDe fragrance."
Haven't thought of Naxos for sure. There are many things I thought of, cause I was trying to think what would you think we thought. Believe it or not, Richwood came to my mind and Naxos didn't.
Haha nice!
Props on the Roja tongue twister
Creed: Millesime Imperial (I am an OG Creed lover pre Aventus)
That one cheek on the Horse had me crying 😅🤣
😆
Happy Sunday
Same to you
Thanks for the constantly creative videos Justin, it doesn’t go unnoticed amongst the oversaturated fragrance videos that most ppl bandwagon on 🙏🏻🔥
Thank you!
I've had hundreds of fragrances and I've settled on Naxos and one other, one for cold and one for warm weather. I don't really care if its over talked about. Perfection for me and that's what counts
Whats the fragrance for warm weather?
@mijo9416 creed millesime imperial. A lot of it as it has the longevity of a fruit fly. Still it's my all time favourite
@@mijo9416 Gate keeping 😂
The 1st Aqua Di Parma i tried (blind bought from sephora) is the one in the black bottle...i had never smelled a fragrance with its own distinction like that at that early start into my fragrance journey.
Which one, if you don't mind me asking (as there's an entire line that comes in black bottles, as well as I believe one other on its own).
I thought of Straight to heaven just because I like that one more than Angels share.
And yes, I thought of Naxos, but not Aventus, I actually thought of Green Irish Tweed lol. I always liked Cedrat Boise better than Aventus that's why I didn't think of it.
Xerjoff Torino 22
Roja Apex
AdP Zafferano or Chinotto di Liguria
Lowkey you’re the coolest niche snob my g 😂
😆🙏🏾
Black phantom first thought 🔥
Great fragrance. Love it! It’s very popular!
Straight to heaven 👼🏾
Kilian Black phantom came to mind
And Xerjoff Nio
Just a tip mix Aventus, Elysium and Bacarat Rouge and you have a masterpiece
No lie creed i thought about silver mountain water because this is the first i know before learn about Aventus
L'Heure Verte (Green hour/time) sounds more complex and niche to me than Angels' Share. Fièvre Verte (Green Fever) might sound a bit like L'Heure Verte but I don't think they would keep the exact same formula for it so it's most likely different.
Zefiro intrigue's me also with its fresh smokey incense combo. Definitely wanna try it and compare it to Renaissance.
Excellent subject Justin. Allows people to set both cheeks on two different horses 😂😂😂
When I hear the name Roja Parfums, I think Enigma Parfum Pour Homme.
I am so lucky that there is a boutique for niche fragrances in my city and I can smell fragrances without blind buying anything expensive.
Le Capitel (hope i spelled it right) was the 1st xerjoff fragrance I heard of a couple to a few years back
Smoking Hot was the first association with Killian for me.
Colonia Futura is really nice one👍, a good modern take on the Colonia DNA but not my favorite within the Colonia line (I prefer Essenza it is more unique to me).
In the same category of Colonia Futura i already have Xerjoff Renaissance, and to me it is superior to Colonia Futura , but if i didn't have the Xerjoff i would buy it it with no hesitation it is really affordable at discounters, for this level of quality it is a bargain.❤️
I actually had to think for a second about roja parfums 😭 nothing really came to mind except isola blu or amber oud
Xerjoff Ether is also wonderful
By Kilian that is my fav is Cruel Intentions
Killian Blue Moon Ginger Dash is good too
Decas is also really beautiful!
Xerjoff Nio and Kobe. Some hype back in the day, but very well done.
Naxos is in the sweet spot. It’s well known in the community and well respected among niche heads. but doesn’t dominate this niche community to the point it spills into the mass market and have 69,420 clones.
Imo, Naxos should have been on the throne after Aventus but it’s peak in popularity overlapped with BR540 and that did this scent a huge favor
Great series ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
You have a certain it factor / intangible that you cannot express, but for you really makes a fragrance enjoyable for yourself. Many times you cannot put your thumb on it, but you know it’s there, whatever the reason.
For many people, the strength of the fragrance is a really big factor. You constantly belittle that view. It is fairly annoying to me that you do, and you constantly take shots at people that use strength as a factor in their choices.
I love the smell of a great fragrance, but if it is so light I can barely smell it, or is so weak it lasts a short time, than it is not worth it, or it’s rating will be muted accordingly.
I think your views on strength is your snobbery and not your picks of niche.
It sounds like you may be misunderstanding me. But that’s ok!
This video is a smack on the face! Cuz he is right
Xerjoff erba pura , man i can 't get enough of it
TBH when you said xerjoff I thought of 40 Knots. Swear. Can never get enough of 40 Knots.
Justin..
Actually when im thinking of Xerjoff, first parfume came to my mind is Xerjoff Alexandaria 2 !!
My mind went differently with Torino 21, Diaghilev and Ginepro di Sardegna (discontinued 😢). And frankly, blank with Kilian…
When you said the names you only said English names and left out your African followers…. All the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 one of your disciples 😎🔥
Haha! Sorry about that. For the record, I did have some South American names in there too. 😎 I need to learn some African names though!
One cheek on the horse 😂
It was angel share
Thanks for your honesty
What about Creed Erolfa?
It’s great. I don’t have it
Zeffiroo... one word. Vomiting
STH is what came to mind with Kilian. One of first, not only Kilians but nishe bottle. I blind buy it.
I thought of Cypres Musc when Creed was mentioned!
