    I bought a bottle of kouros in 1986. I was in high school. It was so strong you had to try to do a half spray or you’d overtake an entire room. My parents made me store it in a plastic bag because it was taking over the house. Absolutely, nuclear.

    Kouros is an absolute masterpiece and I’ve never smelled anything even remotely similar. “Dirty” is an ok word to describe it but I wouldn’t mean it in the same way the word dirty means. Almost more like dangerous or intense, like it is not a “safe” or passive feeling fragrance. The worst fair thing you could say about it is that it’s top notes do smell similar to urinal cakes, and it was because of that I was afraid to actually apply it for a while after I got a sample. Definitely became my GOAT after wearing it for a few days though, and I definitely recommend trying it.

I love the smell on me, in the air and so does my wife. I'm 34 and still works for me! Awesome smell. No complaints, one of my favorites out of my 60 bottle collection.

    Very nice video Omar. In my opinion YSL Kouros is really well blended and this is a beautiful piece of classic oriental French perfumery. I am drawn to this style, so I value this very much, ignoring the fact that I'm surprisingly 20 years old young guy. K EDT by Dolce and Gabbana is a linear nice ambroxan fruity scent as well, nothing more nothing less, just clean sweet and really nice perfume done really well together with fruit molecules, it's slightly powdery to my nose, just fine.
    I am waiting with patience for your formulation Bro, Cheers!

    I have 2 bottles of the original kouros and 1 of the modern version. The old one is dirty but beautiful honeyed musk and is really nice and demolishes the new version which i plan to sell as i will never wear. However i dont have the balls to wear any version of kouros out in public so its wore purely for myself while i play video games or lay around the house. Also to anyone who has read this far and likes kouros the summer versions like tattoo and tonique are great and very wearable they retain kouros's soul but loose the murderous intent of the original.

    My quick thoughts.
    Some older 80s style scents hold up and smell good in their retro way, and some like Kouros are GROSS.
    Office for Men is a killer. Long lasting, performs, smells great, simple but nice. Like u said, price held it back from being a superstar.
    Kalan my first couple wearings I said ewww this is gross. Now I love it. Absolutely love it.
    Minuit Demi is what u said. Very pleasant but weak and not worth price tag
    Phantom is gross. This was two sprays off a sample and in the garbage.

    Might be a hot take and it’s not a hill I would die on, but I can see how people would be skeptical about TH-camr fragrances.
    If you are passionate about your niche, why wouldn’t you go study it at a high level and go work in the field? I’m not sure passion is the added value from professional perfumers to TH-camrs.
    Then there’s the concern that a TH-camr might simply want to gain a quick buck off their audience, especially if they have a large following, with minimal effort. This happens a lot with books or merch as well.
    The aspect I’d be most concerned about is legal & safety compliance, given you’re working with lots of chemicals which requires specific knowledge.
    Not saying any of those arguments apply to you though. I love your videos and would definitely try your fragrance given the chance!

    I don't have a issue with youtuber fragrances. I do have a issue with youtubers coming out with a fragrance and thinking that their name has enough cache etc they can charge more than top designer prices 😆 The only one I could possibly see spending more money on is Demis but only because her collab was made by a luxury niche brand so it's a combination of her tastes and name and their swagger. But some say it's weak so maybe not even it. Mr Smelly's I would buy it's not done through that Co navitus and his is ok on price.

    • @jward3961
      @jward3961 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@mz_bi that's the way markets work. They can charge whatever they want. Doesn't mean people will purchase it. You have to have one of 3 things or combination to charge higher than market average for a product. 1 Quality or ingredients that surpasses the market average. That they don't. 2 A uniqueness of a product that no other product has in that space. That they don't. 3 A name that is associated with a certain level of luxury in that space. That they also don't have. To use a market example Lexus cars has #1, Tesla has #2, Mercedes has #3. Kia has none of the needed attributes so it sells for average. If next year Motor Trend magazine decided we are great car enthusiasts with lots of subscribers we are going to make a Motor Trend car. They collaborate with Kia or hire a Kia Engineer and build a nice car that is average. As good as a Nissan Toyota Ford etc. Then say we believe because we are Motortrend we are going to price this car equal to or higher than a Lexus,Benz, or Tesla. We think it's worth it. Their business would not last long and would not sell many because they don't have any of the three requirements to demand a higher price. Their name while synonymous with automobile enthusiasts does not equate to Luxury Automobile. The only way to buck that is to work with a Luxury Company playing off of their clout and create their Motortrend car. So like a MotorTrend Bentley. Which is kind of what Demi did working with an established Luxury Brand.

    I don't know why a youtuber can't sell a fragance and a designer can. Designers aren't perfumers, most of the time they just put their name in perfumes made by professional perfumers and manufactured by other companies. Not to mention that designer brands are just names put into companies, sometimes by people dead a long time agó, like Chanel, Versace, Moschino etc. Then why a youtuber or influencer can't do the same.
    On the other hand, they can be critiziced if their product is overpriced, or bad quality, although the hate people making stuff in internet receive is usually way too much.
    I like Jeremy Fragance but I'd never spend 200 € in a perfume bottle, any brand.

    So, how do the "meh" ratings for Jeremy's and Demi's brands reflect on their expertise? What do you aim for with Mr Frangrant? No, I don't expect a Creed Juventus moment and can quite understand mid-range "good value for the money" marketing. As you suggest, maybe it's simply a case of missing that message, Jeremy could have done well at half the price (and as the pioneer here, maybe just a case of not having the business saavy...or just ego?) Demi's again is "very expensive" and doesn't last but would be OK at a lower price-point? I find your imagery very good and would expect you to have a very clear, even refined concept of what you want out of it. Good luck. (and yeah, I understand you probably don't want to start a p'ing contest talking about other YTers)
