Another tip man, looks like you're in the bathroom, its not the ideal place to keep cologne the heat and humidity can either change or ruin them. A better place would be the closest or anywhere that doesn't shift in temperature too much with minimal exposure to direct sunlight.
@@cheqreligion fragrances have certain moods that are conveyed by the scent. for example, a bright lemon scent like dior homme cologne could convey a happy upbeat person, while something like parfums des marley carlisle has darker notes such as patchouli. in the end, its all about going into the store and trying to see what you believe represents you in a scent form. the world of perfurmery is so large that theres definitely something that fits your vibe out there.
Another tip is DO NOT always for for the big bottles, 1.7oz is plenty when u got a growing collection, only go large if its a deal or youre really stocking up on something you like or is getting discontinued
One extra tip when first starting out only one or two sprays max just so you can gauge on how the fragrance works off your skin and others reactions while they are around you. Plus staying smelling good while being subtle is part of being professional.
How many sprays depends on the fragrance too, like lighter fresh fragrances you typically go for more sprays than a heavier scent - like for example with spicebomb shown in this video I would keep it down low to a few sprays. But something like Versace Pour Homme you can pretty safely go for 5 sprays without offending anyone.
@@SuomenPaska i understand 2 or maybe 3 sprays max but five sprays of anything is going to be off putting specially in a professional setting or even as a first impression. If someone can notice your perfume from an arms length away that’s plenty and if they like it tends to draw them closer for conversation.
@@miltonmartinez6698 All I can say is that I have fragrances where you can smell 1 spray days later on clothes, while some lighter ones with 5+ sprays could be gone in couple of hours unless you stuck your nose right to the spot. There's a lot of variance in strengths and projections and that should be the basis on how much you spray!
another general tip is to not fall down the fragrance rabbit hole; more specifically, 5-10 bottles max for a collection (ideally with different qualities that you enjoy, naturally). its way too expensive to go beyond all that to not even wear the stuff you bought before. i absolutely love variety and its best enjoyed in getting samples😎
By the time you hit 5-10 it's already too late for you unless you have crazy good impulse control unlike me lol. Once you go past 1 daily scent you aren't coming back
So I have never felt the need to share this until now, because I assume your audience isn’t all “fragrance” people so I would love if someone gave this a read. I’m still very self conscious to tell people I like cologne, I feel it makes me seem weird. People seem to think you’re covering up something, or trying to mask another issue with scent, almost to the point where people will give you dirty looks for smelling cologne, or laugh/bully you if you show them your hobby. I know it’s not for everyone, but I think it’s very wholesome and intricate. I like to match my scents with clothes, or times of year, or times or day, or days themselves. You can style fragrance like women can style up/style down outfits. You can wear one that you think someone will like, and if they do, you can keep a positive reaction coming from that person. Colognes also hit memory olfactory system, meaning some people will smell you and think of something years in the past, could be overly positive or negative who knows, but that’s the dynamic of life. I think the act of knowing how, when, where, and why to wear a fragrance is the true embodiment of flattery, the antithesis of hubris. It’s entirely human. Something I think of a lot when people laugh at my hobby, it’s hard to explain to everyone.
I hear you and agree with you completely! I don’t let people bully me when I mention fragrance as a hobby. I don’t base my personality around it, but it’s kind of a part of me now like any other pastime! No one I know consistently wears cologne or has a collection like mine to understand either. Just keep being you, my friend!
reviving a very old commentary but I also want to share: for me is just strange when I hear about people that relates cologne to a negative thing and will bully you for that, because in my country at least the opposite is true, we think that is strange someone not using any kind of cologne and people here just love colognes in general and smelling good... So reading your comment I think that you have a great hobby and you just are in the wrong place for it, but in another countries people would admire and like your hobbies so no let downs my dude, go ahead and style your fragances youre incredible!
i've been working on youtube since middle school and not until now I figured out what I really wanted to do! I realize I like talking and drawing 😂 this comment made my day so thank you.
A few mistakes here and there but good video and nice collection. The higher concentrations don't always mean better longevity, for example, EDT sauvage usually projects and lasts longer than the EDP. The longevity usually depends on the less volatile base notes of the fragrance. I'd say the difference can be summed up by vibe as EDT tend to smell fresher than the higher concentrations and usually stays closer to the skin due to less alcohol content. This isn't always the case. Also, colognes tend to last longer on clothes, not skin but they project off skin more as your body heat makes the compounds fly off. Your JPG is Le Beau.
The correct way to put cologne is right after showering, preferably with a non scented lotion. The skin is open and scents will bind longer. If you want the scent to last longer on the spray eyes put Vaseline on it. TRUST ME.
I absolutely LOVE L'Homme Ideal and Y by YSL ... They're both underrated and I get so many compliments from them. I felt validated when I saw you have them in your personal collection.
when you find something you like, STICK TO IT so people will associate that smell with you. the same perfume will smell a bit different on everyone. it's also a great idea to spray your outermost layer and accessories (hats, scarves) in the winter if you're in a relationship. your partner will love it
Your tip about just wearing a fragrance because not many guys wear them is spot on. People say about how overused some fragrances are but I don't remember the last time I've smelled dior sauvage on someone. There's a better chance you'll smell a men's fragrance on a girl than on a guy. That being said I don't go to clubs, maybe that's where people pick up these fragrances often, because guys think fragrances are either for special occasions or for picking up girls
Where I live, almost no one uses colognes, so whenever someone wearing a cologne comes by, you remember him. I still remember our garbageman from work, because even tho his job is dirty, he smelled really nice.
just getting into the game myself. my step dad got me a bottle of sauvage a few years ago and thats been my go to. but im trying to expand past that. will definitely be using some of these tips
ahh i'm so glad! I should've put in the things I regret when starting off but the big thing is DONT blind buy everything- coming from an impulsive buyer (me) haha!

My perfect 3 cologne trio Every day fragrance: Bleu de Chanel Parfum, Very woody and aromatic scent, making it perfect for 4 season wear as it’s most noticeable factors are not seasonal like a citrus or spice based fragrances though it really shines to its fullest extent at formal occasions in the fall and winter Spring/Summer Fragrance: D&G Light Blue Eau intense, summer/spring literally smells like you’re sitting on a beach in the Bahamas. The sharp/fresh/coolness stands out amidst the smooth, hot, summer air, and the most noticeable notes being citrus and aqua marine saltwater…I can’t think of a scent more Tailored for summer. This fragrance is the embodiment of sitting on the porch of a Florida hotel room on a vacation, and overlooking a gorgeous view of the beach, and enjoying doing nothing. Fall/Winter Fragrance: Mancera Tonka Cola, sweet and spicy, smells like Vanilla Coke with the nasal sharpness and warmth of cinnamon. Perfect for winter to cut through the cold, and the rounded sweetness and warm feeling stands out from the harsh sharpness of the cold air, the Vanilla Coke scent is also perfect for winter holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter as it fits right in with all the desserts and sweets that are traditionally consumed during those holidays
@@10pmmemes88 I agree that everyone uses Light Blue but there’s a reason that everyone else uses it, because it’s the best at its job. I vehemently disagree that everyone uses the Bleu de Chanel Parfum. A significant majority of people that use Bleu de Chanel in my experience all use the Eau de Parfum which is a fresh summer scent not the deep aromatic woody scent of the Parfum. The Bleu de Chanel name may be used by everyone, but the Parfum is far more unique within that bubble. I’ve recognized the Eau de Parfum on people a few times in public but I’ve never seen another person wearing the Parfum in public.
I think the best way to look for the ideal perfume is to buy samples first before buying the bottle, there are several stores on the Internet that sell 5ml or 10ml samples and you can use them over time until you decide which one to buy a full bottle
Pro tip: warm up a small container of petroleum jelly with hot water. Spray a few sprays of cologne in it and mix well. It'll turn into a solid cologne you can apply throughout the day
i like the categories breakdown but in my opinion your 'general every day scent' should be something along the line of a 'blue' fragrance. They certainly have a 'fresh and clean' part but they usually mix it with something more woody or aromatic. Blue de chanel would be the classic example of a versatile every day scent; yes it's classier than most other blue fragrances and could probably work in special occasions (black tie and others) but for those i'd advice something different. Another way to divide fragrances in categories would be 'season based'. Certain notes/smells work better in hot season while other in cold season.
I am a girl who wears perfume every blue moon but I really like your style of videos! I like the blend of animation PowerPoint and video footage You deserve way more subs!!
Hey thanks for the comments it makes my day and yeah I finally found a good fun medium where I can talk about anything on my mind and share it! and I know somethings about perfume I mean the smell I really like is coco mademoiselle
I go with 1 work/office fragrance - classy so it can be used for formal occasions like weddings too 1 casual everyday, going out during the day for casual things 1 night time, going for meals one 1 chilling at home with your girlfriend type one- less harsh, maybe sweet and comforting but smelling good Work/office/formal: Dior sauvage EDT - compliment beast, inoffensive, classy, fresh and great Daily casual outings: YSL Y EDP - sweeter than sauvage but fresh, mass appealing, clean and slightly sweet and casual Night time, dinners and date nights: Dior sauvage elixir - sweet, spicy, woody, masculine and expensive/classy smelling Chilling at home in sweatpants with the girlfriend: YSL bleu électrique - sweet, fresh and no wood smells - just comforting and calm imo. Sort of interested in using YSL myslf for the washing powder chilled smell. If I’m on holiday in really warm settings and want something really fresh and light, Versace pour homme for daytime use as the freshness and slight muskiness just floats perfectly in the warm air without being too harsh
I have 30 something colognes now and the ones I’ll recommend by price. $$$- Creed aventus, Creed aventus Cologne, and Creed Green Irish tweed $$-Acqua di gio Profumo(or parfum), ysl y edp,Bleu de Chanel edp and allure xtreme, spicebomb xtreme $-invictus legend (if you can find it), fierce by Abercrombie, and versace Eros edp (don’t get if you don’t like a sweet cupcake like smell but I got a lot of compliments from girls wearing it)
Great beginner's guide for guys who just want to smell nice and masculine! Personally I hate "colognes" because they all have that intense ambroxan base that ends up smelling the same in the end. I love more unisex scents because they're more playful and you get to smell more unique!
Hey Tobey I just wanted to drop by and say this video of yours is so cool even if I’ve gotten the hang out of fragrances a month into it. Sharing this with my friends if in case they’d want to start too one day. Thank you! Spreading the love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
I have mostly been using my dads Bleu de Chanel parfumerie to go out/ as a daily scent and his Eros flame once in a while but I think it’s more situational. I’m thinking of getting jpg ultra male as my own cologne as I think it smells great. What category of the 5 categories u mentioned does the ultra male fit in? Edit: I realised my dad has Hermes h24 recently and that apparently the h24 is also a well liked fragrance. What category does that one fit in and should I start wearing it as well? (I’m 17btw so a bit young)
I mean me categorizing the colognes is just in general ya know you can always use any cologne in any occasion it's up to your judgement! and I actually own and given away the jpg ultra male, it's very sweet lots of complements great scent all through the day/night I can see it being an everyday cologne and personally I haven't smelled the hermes h24 nor was it on my radar but I think your guess is as good as mine when it comes to the appropriate time of use!
one that I like to do with my colognes is categorizing them by season. Jpg ultra male leans into more sweat stuff which is great in winter/fall bc they cut through cold. You can wear them in summer but if you do they become way too strong and cloying. I think you would not be disappointed if you chose to buy jpg. It's a great frag and since its winter you can have it as your daily or signature scent for a while.
Clothing will hold a fragrance longer, not skin. Also you mixed the scent profiles on L'Homme Ideal EDP (Brown cap) with L'Homme Ideal Extreme (Red cap), the EDP smells of cherry & vanilla, Extreme is Plum & Tobacco. Also get those fragrance names down, I've never seen someone stumble so hard lol decent video tho 👌
Your quick vocabulary lesson in the intro taught me something new! I don’t like Versace Eros 😅 but now you’ve made me wonder if I just got a bad whiff of it at the mall.
if you like pineapple scents and you're looking for a perfume you can try one of my 2 favorite perfumes ever - urbanist femme by al haramain. even tho it's labeled as a feminine scent for me and for lots of ppl it's more of a unisex smell. it's fresh, not too sweet pineapple combined with 3in1 shower gel your dad is using AND I'M LIVING FOR THIS COMBO!!! i highly recommend haha
but i noticed it's very sensitive for your skin ph. it smelled really pineappely(😭) on my dad, very "cold", like said shower gel with pineapple hint on me and on my mom it was something in between:)
Not all fragrances are expensive, you can buy really great smelling fragrances for under 50 dollars. Also most of the fragrances you used are hella mainstream and not very unique, I love niche middle eastern scents. Also my cologne hot take is that Joop Homme is a gorgeous scent
they’re called niche for a reason, many times hit or miss. designers aka mainstream are more mass appeal, since this is a beginner guide, getting a designer are usually better
Another tip is to buy niches slightly used online. Often the owner will buy them, not like/get tired of them and sell them at much less than what they paid for.
Good idea which I used to try but with this method, you can often fall for fake & replica. So I don’t try this anymore, even some stores sell fake as original. I only buy my perfume from the main store or during Duty free store whenever I travel.
not to sound 🤓☝️ but cologne is actually a fragrance term to describe a whole different oil concentration. Eau de cologne has lower concentrations than EDT. The general term i think would be perfumes
I loved the video but dreamer Versace is actually my favorite. Right behind acqua di gio by Giorgio Armani I also have Versace Eros but it's strong and I only use it sparingly
Good guide, but one thing is that clothing definitely holds the scent longer than skin, this is just common sense. Best to spray both unless you're going to be wearing something else that same day, if you're not layering.
I really thought I found the perfect one for me. The opening was out of this world! But after waiting a little bit, it just smelled too much like roses. You really do have to take your time to find a good cologne that works for you.
Can i add what kind of perfume u wanna buy really depends on what you like. Whether that's fruity, spicy, woody and manly... Etc.. so figure out what kind of smell you want, then pick accordingly. Make sure to research the longevity and projection of several options to ensure you're getting a good deal. Lastly, i recommend middle eastern perfumes(now this may be because I'm middle eastern too but generally, they're just as good if not BETTER than their western counterparts)
Ultra male blue is called jean paul gaultier le beau just letting you know also another fragrance you can get thats very good but cheap is afnan 9pm is around 30 and is a dupe of jean paul gaultier ultra male its very nice
For me EDP is usually the overall best choice for all colognes but EDT is okay too especially if they don't have a EDP and Parfum is usually too strong
2:58 Actually its the opposite, fragrance tends to disappear easily on the skin because of sweating and what not. If you have a fragrance that doesn’t perform well, spray it on your clothes
I saw you got the Versace Eros EDT... i tried the EDT and for me the Longevity was not that good (i think thats because they reformulated it a while back). Thats why i just purchased EDP. Is there a reason why you chose the EDT?
Dude, loved the video, you've got a new subscriber, and if you really like sweet cologne, you gotta get S-Boy by Draco. It's hands down my favorite cologne I've ever gotten. It's definitely on the pricier side, but I'm always getting complements on it. I've had it for about a year and I've yet to hear anybody say anything negative about it. I'm only writing this much about a cologne because it's truly that good.
I got dolce and gabbana the one, bleu de chanel and now Im getting the Eros edp for christmas. Im new in this topic but I absolutely love it. I will eventually switch out the chanel with another cheaper everyday fragrancebut not sure which yet. I didnt like dylan blue too much compared to chanel, it smelled more artificial.
For me Winter Fall: Versace Dylan blue, can be smelled from high distance, godly scent, gets a lot compliments. Summer: Aventus Creed, citrus fresh summer smell, u cant smell it on long distance, gets less compliments then dylan blue but a lot people says its nice.Still great unreal perfume.
I was so happy that you had versace dreamer and you shit on it a second later :( I get it its quite a odd fragrance, you either love it or hate it. Nice video man. Keep making videos!
There’s a lot of stuff here that as a perfume enthusiast irks me but as an introduction to FRAGRANCE (the generic term people in the hobby use, cologne is a concentration of very diluted perfume) this is ok I guess. Your Le male Bottle is called Le Beau. Acqua di gio is the fragrance name, not the brand name (which is Giorgio Armani). That lattafa clone is a clone of “Angel share” by killian. P.S while Parfum De marly is niche by the industry definition of “not making stuff other than perfume” it is pretty much the most popular “niche brand” other than creed (which is a whole other bag of worms I’m not willing to get into) So yeah sorry to dump this all out here it’s just small grips I had to correct for myself. You did a decent job
For the people who want to know his signature scent, its the Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Le Parfum, saw it in the middle of his collection but he didn't review Amazing choice Tobey I honestly love that fragrance and it's just a masterpiece of a cologne
It was so funny cos I was watching this vid with my own 200ml eros flame bottle on my desk and I recognized it in the background. My first and only cologne, tested it at local store and ordered 200ml for value. I was waiting for it to come up in the vid but then realized you gatekeeped it :D Had flame for like 5 days now, it grew on me a lot from days 1 to 5. Nice to see other people keeping it in such a high value also. Is flame still your signature scent after 10 months or has that changed? Anyways nice vid

@@10pmmemes88 I agree that everyone uses Light Blue but there’s a reason that everyone else uses it, because it’s the best at its job. I vehemently disagree that everyone uses the Bleu de Chanel Parfum. A significant majority of people that use Bleu de Chanel in my experience all use the Eau de Parfum which is a fresh summer scent not the deep aromatic woody scent of the Parfum. The Bleu de Chanel name may be used by everyone, but the Parfum is far more unique within that bubble. I’ve recognized the Eau de Parfum on people a few times in public but I’ve never seen another person wearing the Parfum in public.
6:12 “ultra male blue” 😂😂
For anyone wondering it’s Jean Paul gaultier le beau edt
@@brother_manno its Jean Paul Gaultier le beau la parfum
@@CarterStrunk its edt, le parfum glass is faded from black on the top to clear
get it right
@@CarterStrunk no it’s not le beau le parfum has some black on the top edt is just a light blue just like the video
@user-ve3ru1xo8t it's the eau de toilette. The Parfum has a black on the top
I think the best way to look for the ideal perfume is to buy samples first before buying the bottle, there are several stores on the Internet that sell 5ml or 10ml samples and you can use them over time until you decide which one to buy a full bottle
Would you have any suggestions on what sites are worth a visit?
@@benreinstepp7979i just bought like 5 from fragrance buy. Waiting to get them but they have good reviews.

Pro tip: warm up a small container of petroleum jelly with hot water. Spray a few sprays of cologne in it and mix well. It'll turn into a solid cologne you can apply throughout the day
I've seen that trick but never actually tried it out!
Collection goes crazy once it’s out of the bathroom 🙏
😭
i like the categories breakdown but in my opinion your 'general every day scent' should be something along the line of a 'blue' fragrance. They certainly have a 'fresh and clean' part but they usually mix it with something more woody or aromatic. Blue de chanel would be the classic example of a versatile every day scent; yes it's classier than most other blue fragrances and could probably work in special occasions (black tie and others) but for those i'd advice something different.
Another way to divide fragrances in categories would be 'season based'. Certain notes/smells work better in hot season while other in cold season.
You can also mix 2 colognes that are similar (fruity,musky etc) and it will be a completely new scent
Hey props to you man, keep it up. It's always nice to hear another fellow fraghead!!
bro this guys too wholesome
I am a girl who wears perfume every blue moon but I really like your style of videos! I like the blend of animation PowerPoint and video footage
You deserve way more subs!!
Hey thanks for the comments it makes my day and yeah I finally found a good fun medium where I can talk about anything on my mind and share it! and I know somethings about perfume I mean the smell I really like is coco mademoiselle
Armani code parfum is if you only need 1 cologne for everything that never gets old. Mass appealing, formal and casual, pleasing, and unique.
I go with
1 work/office fragrance - classy so it can be used for formal occasions like weddings too
1 casual everyday, going out during the day for casual things
1 night time, going for meals one
1 chilling at home with your girlfriend type one- less harsh, maybe sweet and comforting but smelling good
Work/office/formal: Dior sauvage EDT - compliment beast, inoffensive, classy, fresh and great
Daily casual outings: YSL Y EDP - sweeter than sauvage but fresh, mass appealing, clean and slightly sweet and casual
Night time, dinners and date nights: Dior sauvage elixir - sweet, spicy, woody, masculine and expensive/classy smelling
Chilling at home in sweatpants with the girlfriend: YSL bleu électrique - sweet, fresh and no wood smells - just comforting and calm imo. Sort of interested in using YSL myslf for the washing powder chilled smell.
If I’m on holiday in really warm settings and want something really fresh and light, Versace pour homme for daytime use as the freshness and slight muskiness just floats perfectly in the warm air without being too harsh
Honestly, super solid video for anyone who came across your video and didn’t know anything about perfumes.
Bruh I have all first 4 colognes; glad you confirmed I’m on track :)
i had the first two, i was suprised 😂
This is such a super solid perfume review!! Good for those who are new to this!!
6:13 it is "Le Beau"
I have 30 something colognes now and the ones I’ll recommend by price.
$$$- Creed aventus, Creed aventus Cologne, and Creed Green Irish tweed
$$-Acqua di gio Profumo(or parfum), ysl y edp,Bleu de Chanel edp and allure xtreme, spicebomb xtreme
$-invictus legend (if you can find it), fierce by Abercrombie, and versace Eros edp (don’t get if you don’t like a sweet cupcake like smell but I got a lot of compliments from girls wearing it)
get into arabic clones will save you 100s ( there are a lot out there that smell 1:1 or really close no one notices unless there side by side
)
where to buy?
Great beginner's guide for guys who just want to smell nice and masculine! Personally I hate "colognes" because they all have that intense ambroxan base that ends up smelling the same in the end. I love more unisex scents because they're more playful and you get to smell more unique!
Man made a whole lecture with limit fragrance knowledge and it a very good take. Can you imagine when he gets deeper? Bomb
I’m just a simple man who un-ironically says “it’s not that deep”
you deserve more than 14k i swear i enjoy your videos:)
Hey Tobey I just wanted to drop by and say this video of yours is so cool even if I’ve gotten the hang out of fragrances a month into it. Sharing this with my friends if in case they’d want to start too one day. Thank you! Spreading the love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
aww thank you kindly! and much love back!! :,)
my lil rotation goes
-Spicebomb: Night Vision
-Jean Paul Gauliter: Le Male
-Arturo Calle: Blue
I have mostly been using my dads Bleu de Chanel parfumerie to go out/ as a daily scent and his Eros flame once in a while but I think it’s more situational. I’m thinking of getting jpg ultra male as my own cologne as I think it smells great. What category of the 5 categories u mentioned does the ultra male fit in?
Edit: I realised my dad has Hermes h24 recently and that apparently the h24 is also a well liked fragrance. What category does that one fit in and should I start wearing it as well? (I’m 17btw so a bit young)
I mean me categorizing the colognes is just in general ya know you can always use any cologne in any occasion it's up to your judgement! and I actually own and given away the jpg ultra male, it's very sweet lots of complements great scent all through the day/night I can see it being an everyday cologne and personally I haven't smelled the hermes h24 nor was it on my radar but I think your guess is as good as mine when it comes to the appropriate time of use!
For me, the h24 is an office scent since it's a clean and inoffensive, kinda like freshly iron clothes
ultra male would be great for formal occasions and night out with a couple extra sprays
I recently got ultra male. Unless it is a formal and/or serious occasion or a hot day, jpg ultra male fits everything, specially dates
one that I like to do with my colognes is categorizing them by season. Jpg ultra male leans into more sweat stuff which is great in winter/fall bc they cut through cold. You can wear them in summer but if you do they become way too strong and cloying. I think you would not be disappointed if you chose to buy jpg. It's a great frag and since its winter you can have it as your daily or signature scent for a while.
WHAT DID U CALL LE BEAU???
What’s Le beau, do you mean ultra male blue
He also called angel share angel wings
Great video, I didn't know much about cologne before this. I have been mainly using Versace Eros as my everyday for the past year, I love it
7:20 KURAMA MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️😈😈😈😈😈😈🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥 WAIT I NEED TO GO SAGE MODE 😈😈😈🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
you defo gatekeeping that eros flame😂 cant blame you tho, its my signature and im gatekeeping the hell out of it
it's soo good I already went through a bottle 😭
Clothing will hold a fragrance longer, not skin. Also you mixed the scent profiles on L'Homme Ideal EDP (Brown cap) with L'Homme Ideal Extreme (Red cap), the EDP smells of cherry & vanilla, Extreme is Plum & Tobacco. Also get those fragrance names down, I've never seen someone stumble so hard lol decent video tho 👌
Your quick vocabulary lesson in the intro taught me something new!
I don’t like Versace Eros 😅 but now you’ve made me wonder if I just got a bad whiff of it at the mall.
if you like pineapple scents and you're looking for a perfume you can try one of my 2 favorite perfumes ever - urbanist femme by al haramain. even tho it's labeled as a feminine scent for me and for lots of ppl it's more of a unisex smell. it's fresh, not too sweet pineapple combined with 3in1 shower gel your dad is using AND I'M LIVING FOR THIS COMBO!!! i highly recommend haha
but i noticed it's very sensitive for your skin ph. it smelled really pineappely(😭) on my dad, very "cold", like said shower gel with pineapple hint on me and on my mom it was something in between:)
Not all fragrances are expensive, you can buy really great smelling fragrances for under 50 dollars. Also most of the fragrances you used are hella mainstream and not very unique, I love niche middle eastern scents. Also my cologne hot take is that Joop Homme is a gorgeous scent
based off your taste already i would hate to walk past you in a office. gon have me walking into a barnyard with them middle eastern oud elixers
@@eleazarrodriguez8822 lol yes
Wow! Joop is my personal favorite cologne
they’re called niche for a reason, many times hit or miss. designers aka mainstream are more mass appeal, since this is a beginner guide, getting a designer are usually better
way too many trash arab juice on the market they're overrated
Brilliant vid. Loved the IRL portion
Another tip is to buy niches slightly used online. Often the owner will buy them, not like/get tired of them and sell them at much less than what they paid for.
Good idea which I used to try but with this method, you can often fall for fake & replica. So I don’t try this anymore, even some stores sell fake as original. I only buy my perfume from the main store or during Duty free store whenever I travel.
There are discounters online… like Fragrancenet and Jomashop, that sell Testers( with or without a cap) for very affordable prices :)
Yeah watch out for fakes tho:(
not to sound 🤓☝️ but cologne is actually a fragrance term to describe a whole different oil concentration. Eau de cologne has lower concentrations than EDT. The general term i think would be perfumes
let me guess, ur signature scent is versace eros flame?
its the only one you didnt show in the video
IVE BEEN FOUND OUT haha
As someone who cannot hold a scent for longer than 5 minutes, this was a very helpful guide.
I'm gonna take a guess that your signature scent is that Versace Eros Flame sitting down there that you suspiciously never showed off. 😏
Versace eros flame is FIRE
I loved the video but dreamer Versace is actually my favorite. Right behind acqua di gio by Giorgio Armani I also have Versace Eros but it's strong and I only use it sparingly
idk how much I wanna trust you after "Armani by Acqua di Gio" lmao
Good guide, but one thing is that clothing definitely holds the scent longer than skin, this is just common sense. Best to spray both unless you're going to be wearing something else that same day, if you're not layering.
I really thought I found the perfect one for me. The opening was out of this world! But after waiting a little bit, it just smelled too much like roses. You really do have to take your time to find a good cologne that works for you.
Greenley is heavenly, my go to summer fragrance during the day. Unfortunately the price makes me hesitant to use it as much as I'd like to.
i use Y as my daily it’s too good
Can i add what kind of perfume u wanna buy really depends on what you like. Whether that's fruity, spicy, woody and manly... Etc.. so figure out what kind of smell you want, then pick accordingly. Make sure to research the longevity and projection of several options to ensure you're getting a good deal. Lastly, i recommend middle eastern perfumes(now this may be because I'm middle eastern too but generally, they're just as good if not BETTER than their western counterparts)
Hey bro, nice video i instantly subbed. Although u could be more prepared when showing off ur fragrances😂 Great video!
Thank you!
Ultra male blue is called jean paul gaultier le beau just letting you know also another fragrance you can get thats very good but cheap is afnan 9pm is around 30 and is a dupe of jean paul gaultier ultra male its very nice
4:42 Why did you skip Eros Flame 🤨
That’s his signature smell I’m guessing
For me EDP is usually the overall best choice for all colognes but EDT is okay too especially if they don't have a EDP and Parfum is usually too strong
2:58 Actually its the opposite, fragrance tends to disappear easily on the skin because of sweating and what not. If you have a fragrance that doesn’t perform well, spray it on your clothes
the blue body shaped one is called jean paul gaultier le buea edp
I saw you got the Versace Eros EDT... i tried the EDT and for me the Longevity was not that good (i think thats because they reformulated it a while back). Thats why i just purchased EDP. Is there a reason why you chose the EDT?
it was one of my first purchases and I didn't know much about cologne- I just really liked the smell aha
Dude, loved the video, you've got a new subscriber, and if you really like sweet cologne, you gotta get S-Boy by Draco. It's hands down my favorite cologne I've ever gotten. It's definitely on the pricier side, but I'm always getting complements on it. I've had it for about a year and I've yet to hear anybody say anything negative about it. I'm only writing this much about a cologne because it's truly that good.
i'll check it out for sure! and thank you!
I got dolce and gabbana the one, bleu de chanel and now Im getting the Eros edp for christmas. Im new in this topic but I absolutely love it. I will eventually switch out the chanel with another cheaper everyday fragrancebut not sure which yet. I didnt like dylan blue too much compared to chanel, it smelled more artificial.
My suggestion is to try out Stronger with You Intensely over Eros. It’s more sweet scent for winter. But you should smell it first.
Missoni Wave or Armani Code Colonia. Nice and clean scents
@@lemy5250 I thought about most wanted intense perfume eventually
For me
Winter Fall: Versace Dylan blue, can be smelled from high distance, godly scent, gets a lot compliments.
Summer: Aventus Creed, citrus fresh summer smell, u cant smell it on long distance, gets less compliments then dylan blue but a lot people says its nice.Still great unreal perfume.
Please make more cologne content(btw I love your vids)
the light blue men by dolce&gabbana is also really good and i find it really similar to acqua di gio. really great day to day/summer scent.
Acqua di gio edt and profondo are the best fresh everyday scents and le male le parfum is good for night and winter
idk how the algoriith sent me this video but i like it. nice job
hey thanks for watching!
Fragrances tend to linger longer on fabrics than on the skin.
when testing a fregrance spray once on the back of your wrist.
any PDM as a gym scent is WILD
I was so happy that you had versace dreamer and you shit on it a second later :( I get it its quite a odd fragrance, you either love it or hate it. Nice video man. Keep making videos!
this made me laugh 😂 yeah i'm happy it's in my collection but i wouldn't personally wear it haha
Some good budget cologne brands are Cremo, Lattafa, Maison Alhambra, and Banana Republic
Why is he so attractive? insane visual whiplash
There’s a lot of stuff here that as a perfume enthusiast irks me but as an introduction to FRAGRANCE (the generic term people in the hobby use, cologne is a concentration of very diluted perfume) this is ok I guess. Your Le male Bottle is called Le Beau. Acqua di gio is the fragrance name, not the brand name (which is Giorgio Armani). That lattafa clone is a clone of “Angel share” by killian.
P.S while Parfum De marly is niche by the industry definition of “not making stuff other than perfume” it is pretty much the most popular “niche brand” other than creed (which is a whole other bag of worms I’m not willing to get into)
So yeah sorry to dump this all out here it’s just small grips I had to correct for myself. You did a decent job
i wouldn't say khamrah is a clone of angels share, although some people believe it
Great video. Good breakdown. And yea, keep the best scents secret! XD it was the ending jam that made me like and comment. Good luck bro!
Thank you and the ending came from one of my close friends- we were rapping over beats at 4am and decided to record haha
For the people who want to know his signature scent, its the Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Le Parfum, saw it in the middle of his collection but he didn't review
Amazing choice Tobey I honestly love that fragrance and it's just a masterpiece of a cologne
Oooo thanks for covering for me 🥹
NO!! That is Le Beau. Not Le Beau Le Parfum. There is a pretty big difference
Gucci black is so good! Underrated!
good name homie
Thanks for the tips! Also, where did you get your green zip up shirt from? Super dope!
holister!
guys who are into perfumes>>>>
hey man, i watched a few of your videos and i really liked them! you have a new subscriber, keep up the good content!
awh I appreciate you!!
It was jpg le beau
It was so funny cos I was watching this vid with my own 200ml eros flame bottle on my desk and I recognized it in the background. My first and only cologne, tested it at local store and ordered 200ml for value. I was waiting for it to come up in the vid but then realized you gatekeeped it :D Had flame for like 5 days now, it grew on me a lot from days 1 to 5. Nice to see other people keeping it in such a high value also. Is flame still your signature scent after 10 months or has that changed? Anyways nice vid
It was my signature scent for the longest time!! I’m definitely team flame > eros
at 2:04 I was like, what wedding is tha...
i’m a girl but ts is hella entertaining either way i luv this
4 sprays is way to much, you can build up allergie to frangraces if you use that much on your skin
