Man I’ve been collecting frags since the early 2000’s but for whatever reason I never got my nose on DN. A few months ago I passed by an older gentleman that smelled incredible. Smelled like he had THE perfect masculine frag on in a sea of ambroxan bullshit that everybody else wears. One of the few times I followed someone to inquire, and he smiled and told me it was freaking Drakkar Noir 😂
Small world that you did Jeremy's and I did Eugen's today. I'm not artistic kind of guy but they were pretty solid. I like what you said about the salesmen and the overall message. You and I have polar opposite tastes but I agree with you.
Finally someone who's honest and says how it is🙏that's why you're my favorite fragrance reviewer.love to see you do the new formulation of channel platinum egoiste 😅.
I won't spend any of my own money on influencer brands honestly, especially blindly with no samples. Just no interest so I don't think I'll be smelling that brand anytime soon.
@@robes08 Eugen from U Smells Good is not an influencer IMO...he's a longtime reviewer much like yourself. There are samples available and they are very good. Some of the best stuff I've tried in a long time...Antoine Lie did an amazing job
Honestly I fell for the hype when they first launched and I bought Office for men and also Black Tie for men which is supposed to be better. They cost me more money than I care to admit. They are both absolutely awful, I wore Black Tie a few times trying to force myself to like it and multiple people including women said it smelled exactly like a urinal cake 😱 The bottle and cap are also terrible and feel so cheap, I would not purchase them again under any circumstances. Even if they were free I think I would pass.
Lattafa have recently done this by using Quentin Bisch for Teriaq. However, it's well presented and can be purchased for £40-£50 and is actually better than some of the designer fragrances that are twice the price. They just cut out the influencer part. 😂
Did you notice how fragcom was angry that Bisch is working with Lattafa, a clone company. How dare he? LOL Truth is, a lot of middle-eastern brands are working with great perfumers, have great packaging, the quality is the same if not better than western companies, but most importantly the price is half as much.
A man that smells clean and sophisticated without being overbearing…, (while in the office) yes please 😅. Unfortunately, this seems to not be any of the above mentioned adjectives.
he took advantage of his success on the tube. Good move for him personally and his wealth but sadly it comes with demons. It certainly shows now, he looks like a cult leader more than anything now.
Your argument about the brands "selling you the perfumer" is a weird one. You are buying everything Ellena is doing, because you are a fan of his work. Has Ellena terrible fragrances under his belt? Oh hell yeah. Would you gravitate towards a new brand if you know that Ellena is working for them? Of course you would.
Appreciate your question. Let me explain, I buy everything Ellena from Hermes as after several successful purchases the brand Hermes and Ellena had an identity, it was easy purchases. Has Ellena made a bad fragrance, yep, has he made some that smell like previous scents he made.. of course. He has gravitated to a new brand since his Hermes days, however I haven't smelled one yet. Thanks for reminding me.
i remember the cheap presentation being marketed as German minimalism/efficiency. Power! as for the scent, yeesh i don't think the ambroxan doing it either there's some other amberwood in here that's waaay overdosed.
Bought a nearly full second-hand bottle for 50-60US$, a few month after it came out. I was in my mid-40's at that time and liked it (not love), due to it's very versatile and I want to keep a small selection (less than 15 bottles). That said, I'm not going to replace it when it's gone in a year or two.
To this day idk if this trash or a DUA is the worst fragrance I've ever come across. How this was released as a "fragrance" is beyond me. What a despicable money grab. After this Jeremy fell out of existence to me. He was never anyone I took serious after all. He's not even on a list of anyone I would consider for a opinion on a fragrance
Admittedly I don't know much about the business side of perfumery. But there is an alternate timeline where Jeremy embraced being the face of this line and cleaned up his act, priced them accordingly, and became a commercial success.
When I first started watching Fragcom on TH-cam, I stumbled upon Jeremy but quickly realized that his agenda was to sell to young insecure men. Thank god I found other reviewers such as yourself and Sebastian who are true enthusiasts and don’t care about squeezing every dollar out us.
The second I saw this video and thumbnail, I knew what was coming. I thought Office was just "okay" when I tried it, but I knew what Jeremy and the brand was trying to do. Keep in mind, though, how much Jeremy was a trendsetter in this community with his videos and creating his own brand. He really set the tone that a lot of people follow even today versus you and a few others being on YT for years and not so much hype and movement happening. So much has been commercialized nowadays and it gets to be a bit much. Anyways, with all of the Aventus / Sauvage / BDC type hype, my go to and recommendation has always been Cedrat Boise from Mancera. Great brand, great scent, great longevity for not a lot of sprays, and lots of fragrance (120 ml). Finding a discounter selling it you can get it for around $70-80 and get a TON of use out of it AND you may smell better than an Aventus because there is a bit more quality to the scent, in my view at least.
@@robes08 -- I've been around this community and have tried so much stuff over the years that I've been like you and get tired of a lot of the samey smelling stuff. That's why I have come to love stuff like Tyger Tyger from Francesca Bianchi or Corpse Reviver from FZOTIC / Bruno Fazzolari. Just stellar niche-indie quality scents that you won't see in any mainstream shop and so amazingly unique. All the hype train frags fall flat for me except for maybe a decent one every now and then, but I'm largely not impressed by anything in that realm anymore.
brillant video my brother, I was going to say review, but I know this is a 'Test Drive'. You go into more detail in a initial impressions vs some people full review's. I haven't tried this fragrance, and I doubt I ever will, but I echo alot of your thoughts regarding blue fragrances and YT reviewer fragrances. I also learned alot - thanks Guru, I learned so much regarding fragrances from your channel for the past 12+ years and I continue to do so - so glad your still in the game, so many OGs are no longer reviewing (for many reasons).
The first release of this shit was even without a cap 😂 That bozo is nothing but a rip-off. I remember when he launched a Patreon page and asked followers to support him ( support him in what?!!!)then after few months he bought a red ferrari 😂😂😂
Not going to comment fragrance never tried it and probably never will, just wanted to say it was much easier back in the day to build good taste because what was main stream? Dolce Gabbana PH, Versace Blue Jeans, Dreamer, Kouros, A* men original, Issey Miyake worst case scenario ADG. Not sure if kids today even have proper chance to get to know what it was all about. It's fairly easy to deceive them.
Its not a bad fragrance but come on $ 249 for a mediocre fragrance that you cant smell in stores and you can't get samples ( i guess if he gives samples that almost nobody wants to buy it for $249) You need to blind buy it based on the pretentious arguments from a used car sales man in a white suit with a golden Rolex. Maybe his new fragrance Douchebag for Men EDP is a better fragrance.
I remember that when this perfume was launched, Jeremy tried to sell it as a luxury product because the nose behind it was Alberto Morillas. As if Morillas was a guy who only made luxury fragrances. 🤣 There is no shortage of very cheap fragrances in the Morillas portfolio. I'm not saying this is a problem, but the fact that you have a famous name behind your product doesn't make it worth more than 200 dollars.
You’re right regarding your opinion on TH-camrs utilizing perfumers as a selling tool. It doesn’t guarantee quality whatsoever. In fact, Zara recently launched a complete line of fragrances (Oud line), all created by Morillas, all just mehhhh….
I purchased this a few months ago for a cheap deal. I knew what I was getting into. Makes me laugh to have a piece of this history as a collector. Loved every second of this review. 😂
Et depuis longtemps, il ne s’est jamais compromis , et quand j’achète sur fragranceX , j’utilise son coupon au lieu d’utiliser le basique du site .Marc ne s’est jamais dérouté de donner son avis honnêtement.
I didn't fall prey to that bullshit fragrance long before I became a subscriber to your channel God father. MFK is the only perfumer so far that has been able to get 400.00 out of me and I do not regret it!! Very good points you make in this video as always sir🙏🏽🙏🏽 and yes I do love it when you set these fragrance reviewers asses on fire with the truth!!!👍🏾👍🏾
Cheers Marc, can’t argue a jot with your thoughts, it was a wonderful ruse sold by a great salesman ,did I fall for the hype? Kinda I did curb my enthusiasm for exactly the right time to pounce ,grabbed bundles and utilized The vouchers to bounce off others end of the day paid an average of 60 bucks USD a bottle including Black Tie ,so not too bad I wanna say at that price I don’t feel too bad , I used a 10 ml travel of office the others just sit in their basic boxes with their cheap caps waiting for whatever comes down the road lol 😂. I can wear these kinda fragrances for sure ,but not in quite a while . Cheers appreciate the vid and your thoughts, yeah Black Tie is the best and worth every penny of the 60 dollars 🙏✌️👍😂
I appreciate ur review... i appreciate the transparency on OTHER reviewers doing the same and not just Jeremy.... to each their own but thank you for not just saying its Jeremy who does it, cause they all do.
It's not about being too late, just saying my thoughts on something I unboxed 4 years ago and never gave a full testing. Now that I did, I can set it aside.
Just to continue the dialog, I agree with everything you say about this fragrance. However, I think Jeremy would agree with everything you said, too. Jeremy introduced this fragrance as a better performing F-boy (my words), mass appealing fragrance that smells just as good if not better than your popular designer fragrances. He made it for the young F-boy that clubs often, has the starter corporate job but wants to promote up the corporate ladder. I think his promise that the wearer won't smell like anyone one else in the room, all day or night, but get tons of compliments,; coupled with Jeremy's popularity with that demograpbic, is what determined his price point. Anyway, I love your videos and integrity. Keep up the good work.
If ur juice are really unique and high end I can totally accept u use cheap cap or bottle. But this one….. I can’t find any reason to buy it with that price lol
Incredibly droll fragrance! Morillas is a workhorse perfumer with chops but he’s out to get the bag (I don’t really mind that though). There are very few brands whose owner happens to be an influencer and are genuinely authentic. The most authentic one I’m familiar with is Centauri Perfumes led by FragranceView and while I don’t like all of his releases I smell that his heart is there and it beats whatever the fuck fragrance one or Navitus are doing
Did you feel your sins wash away while wearing this? Jeremy is the #1 fragrance reviewer who follows the teachings of Jesus, so this is basically holy water, right? LOL!
I personally like this sent. If you haven’t smelled it, it’s smells exactly like dior sauvage edt (at least to me). It’s powerful and long lasting but definitely not worth the price. If get it on the used market is a different story. Retail prices are ridiculous, no question about it. Presentation looks like someone made it garage in eastern Europe. With that said I personally like the sent but I got mine on a deal and from a fellow fragrance collector. It all depends on the price with this one. Also if you like sauvage edt, you would like this one as well.
I know it's close, but I've had decants of Dior Sauvage and Dylan Blue and those two was just way of to my nose. I would describe them as more aggressive (peppercorn, ambroxan). Office for Men, also has some of that aggressiveness IMO, but I think the citrus aspect maybe tones it down a bit. Yes, the presentation is ####. When I saw it/bought it second-hand (think mine is the 2nd or 3rd batch), I honestly liked it a bit - as I viewed it as a "small start-up test run" and thought he would change it after the first 2-3 batches. But no... It was/is a money grab (High price and low quality presentation), not to forget the all white (tester like) cardboard box it came in.
And now we get to watch curlyfragrance follow this model with her new brand. It only costs $250 US. Amusingly, while traveling last week I was in a perfumery when Jeremy Fragrance, in his white t-shirt and pants, young girl in toe, walks in a starts smelling things. The owner, who apparently was used to his visits, was not impressed. If other customers noticed him-there were a number in the shop-paid him no heed. He left about 20 minutes later. What stood out to me, he didn't make a purchase.
it did, think I sat too close to the fragrances so it kept going in and out. I was not going to re-shoot and wear this again so I published it. I'll make sure to double check on the next one to ensure it's much clearer. I do apologize.
Now I understand why this fragrance it's so hated in fragrance community. I had no idea that this one whas FREAKING 240 bucks! For that money I can get a Xerjoff, an Amouage, an Electimuss, not this fraud of a product.
It is ridiculous to begin with that it is normal that fragrances cost above 240 or nowadays 300. As Robes said, the profit, and greed, is real. FOMO plays a big part in raising the prices, because why would you not buy the newest hit especially when all the influencers are telling you it is a must have.
Influencers now think they can separate you from your money easily and at 200 per bottle or more I don't know why people fall for these traps. I haven't smelled one influencer branded scent that imo would be worth more than 100 per bottle.
haha I don't even need to smell it. It's a cheaper version of Jeremy's stuff, she took everything he did and copied it down to cutting cost on bottle, presentation to the juice brief which was simply "make it smell like spicebomb". Overpriced, sold as being made by a master perfumer (which makes no sense when you cut creativity and costs down). If I'm wrong I'll send you a cookie.
250 $ !!??? get an Amouage, TF private collection, Thameen, Byredo... that's niche prices. I wouldn't even try to test it. It is clear that he is aiming at his choir and not at fragheads. I wouldn't mind smelling Eugene's scents or Dan's (smelly77) samples, but wouldn't pay niche prices for anything unless it's high quality ingredients and a complex unique scent. I don't care about packaging or about performance. I only care about the juice and how it smells on MY skin. If it's weak but I love the scent, I'll respray it during the day. I do have weak niche expensive fragrances that I absolutely love, and respray a few times a day (such as TF NPF, Byredo's Accord Oud and more). At the end of the day, it's all about the smell !! I don't mind paying a lot of money for an outrageously awesome scent, regardless of its performance. And btw, who cares about packaging, are you a package-head or a frag-head :) ? ONLY THE JUICE MATTERS.
Mark, I would love to see you reviewing Percival. It has became my one and only summer fragrance already 3 years now. I am not putting it in the same league as Bleu and Sauvage. It is much more complex and I will stick to my view even if you will not praise it. If we are talking about the first impression, only Allure Homme Edition Blanche has impressed me as deeply as Percival
I almost did the pre-order when this was released, but held off, after seeing the price crappy box, no cap, no collar ,I passed on it again, when the price dropped I passed again, if it pops up for 35 to 50 I may pick it up, same for draco, blue atlas and shit ton of reviewer fragrances, because the are generally expensive and just meh , and sampling is difficult and expensive, so id rather just put that time and money towards other fragrances, thatll do what I'm looking for with the risk and feeling like a money grab.
Now everybody hates The Office 😂😂😂 Rob you should have do the trick with flexing how good Office is. Too late now but I know that comments wouldn't be like this.
@@robes08 - Even though I don’t own “Office” or have any plans to buy it, I still felt the sting after this review. I know you gave an objective take, but you objectively stomped on this fragrance and I think it’s going to leave a mark! LOL
Why? Bcz Rob bashed it now you don't like it? I still have the first batch,50ml bottle of the 3rd and Black Tie and still like to wear them. Just,there are different markets where all the houses are pushing their fragrances. Office 140€ 100ml,Black Tie extrait 160€ 100ml.
@@Frank-DuxVanDamme No I just probably should not have fallen into the hype that is all. I paid $80-$100 per bottle and just bought everything when I was getting started. It's true, there are things that do the same thing better and cheaper.
I got this and even when is not near being a master piece. I get complements every time i wear this. White t-shirt and blue jeans fragrance. To my nose its ✏️ pencil shavings and bergamot. Nothing special. Yeah get aventus 💯
@@robes08 i get the impression that this is incomplete more like an idea .morillas had this as a paper weight when suddenly JERRY show up with a "million"😅
Honestly for the price of Office for Men, I got 2 of the Naughton and Wilson line. It’s nothing super original, but it’s more classy, quality scent, has way more backbone, and doesn’t shout. I think if any influencer fragrance is worth it, it’s Gravitas Pour Homme. I agree with Marc here, that OFM is just cheap juice behind a trying-to-be-expensive name. There’s way more quality out there for way less money.
Mark, you said projection is average and then in your final thoughts you stated that "it is a joke to the fragrance community on how loud this is and calling it an office fragrance"... I really don't get it - is it loud or average?
projection is average as a whole , during the review I mentioned it comes out like a bomb but then falls off within hour 3 or 4. I can just picture people wearing 10 sprays of this minutes before work and engulfing the whole office.
@@robes08 fair... I got my nose on this... got a 5ml from a fragrance community that was selling those... I am familiar with what many middle-eastern brands do when copying western ones - this fragrance kinda seems like that... If you can get your nose on something like Lattafa Ejaazi (which you can find for around 15$) you would understand what I'm saying
Just buy Drakkar Noir and call it a day. It’s timeless!!!!
20 bucks!
Good ole Drakkar.✊
Man I’ve been collecting frags since the early 2000’s but for whatever reason I never got my nose on DN. A few months ago I passed by an older gentleman that smelled incredible.

Keep the good work and enjoy your scents.
Appreciate it!
I appreciate ur review... i appreciate the transparency on OTHER reviewers doing the same and not just Jeremy.... to each their own but thank you for not just saying its Jeremy who does it, cause they all do.
100%
Great review.
Thank you!
Thanks Marc, A lot of people has been robbed by This fragrance, but it’s too late. I had the same thoughts. I didn’t even try it.
It's not about being too late, just saying my thoughts on something I unboxed 4 years ago and never gave a full testing. Now that I did, I can set it aside.
Just to continue the dialog, I agree with everything you say about this fragrance. However, I think Jeremy would agree with everything you said, too. Jeremy introduced this fragrance as a better performing F-boy (my words), mass appealing fragrance that smells just as good if not better than your popular designer fragrances. He made it for the young F-boy that clubs often, has the starter corporate job but wants to promote up the corporate ladder. I think his promise that the wearer won't smell like anyone one else in the room, all day or night, but get tons of compliments,; coupled with Jeremy's popularity with that demograpbic, is what determined his price point. Anyway, I love your videos and integrity. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for sharing!
If ur juice are really unique and high end
I can totally accept u use cheap cap or bottle.
But this one…..
I can’t find any reason to buy it with that price lol
yep
Incredibly droll fragrance! Morillas is a workhorse perfumer with chops but he’s out to get the bag (I don’t really mind that though). There are very few brands whose owner happens to be an influencer and are genuinely authentic. The most authentic one I’m familiar with is Centauri Perfumes led by FragranceView and while I don’t like all of his releases I smell that his heart is there and it beats whatever the fuck fragrance one or Navitus are doing
Kerosene is probably the only one I know that was legit. He actually shut down his fragrance channel and focused on the brand. I applaud him for that.
Did you feel your sins wash away while wearing this? Jeremy is the #1 fragrance reviewer who follows the teachings of Jesus, so this is basically holy water, right? LOL!
I felt no such way, I felt unwashed... lol
I personally like this sent. If you haven’t smelled it, it’s smells exactly like dior sauvage edt (at least to me). It’s powerful and long lasting but definitely not worth the price. If get it on the used market is a different story. Retail prices are ridiculous, no question about it. Presentation looks like someone made it garage in eastern Europe. With that said I personally like the sent but I got mine on a deal and from a fellow fragrance collector. It all depends on the price with this one. Also if you like sauvage edt, you would like this one as well.
Dior Sauvage … run! 🏃
I know it's close, but I've had decants of Dior Sauvage and Dylan Blue and those two was just way of to my nose. I would describe them as more aggressive (peppercorn, ambroxan). Office for Men, also has some of that aggressiveness IMO, but I think the citrus aspect maybe tones it down a bit. Yes, the presentation is ####. When I saw it/bought it second-hand (think mine is the 2nd or 3rd batch), I honestly liked it a bit - as I viewed it as a "small start-up test run" and thought he would change it after the first 2-3 batches. But no... It was/is a money grab (High price and low quality presentation), not to forget the all white (tester like) cardboard box it came in.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, always appreciate a different take.
And now we get to watch curlyfragrance follow this model with her new brand. It only costs $250 US.
Amusingly, while traveling last week I was in a perfumery when Jeremy Fragrance, in his white t-shirt and pants, young girl in toe, walks in a starts smelling things. The owner, who apparently was used to his visits, was not impressed. If other customers noticed him-there were a number in the shop-paid him no heed. He left about 20 minutes later. What stood out to me, he didn't make a purchase.
from what I see she stole the exact same blueprint.
@@robes08 I fully agree with you. That's why I pointed it out.
I loved this video, I hope to have the chance to meet you one day and shake your hand!
Maybe one day!
is it me, lack of sleep, or your camera going in and out of focus😅
it did, think I sat too close to the fragrances so it kept going in and out. I was not going to re-shoot and wear this again so I published it. I'll make sure to double check on the next one to ensure it's much clearer. I do apologize.
The trash talk from these influencers is the same thing as someone saying that if you buy a cap you will have the woman you want.
terrible.
Nice honest review
Always
Now I understand why this fragrance it's so hated in fragrance community. I had no idea that this one whas FREAKING 240 bucks! For that money I can get a Xerjoff, an Amouage, an Electimuss, not this fraud of a product.
😁
It is ridiculous to begin with that it is normal that fragrances cost above 240 or nowadays 300. As Robes said, the profit, and greed, is real. FOMO plays a big part in raising the prices, because why would you not buy the newest hit especially when all the influencers are telling you it is a must have.
Influencers now think they can separate you from your money easily and at 200 per bottle or more I don't know why people fall for these traps. I haven't smelled one influencer branded scent that imo would be worth more than 100 per bottle.
Attraction Fatale review when???
Aka 'Overpriced Spicebomb in a cheap bottle, but the Curly simps will buy it anyway review.' Allegedly!
@sharfalor4244 I didnt even bother with the notes or reviews, I just want to see Marc's reaction to it 😂
@@petewisdom1984 haha, me too. I've just seen other people discussing it. Apparently she's deleting negative reviews.
haha I don't even need to smell it. It's a cheaper version of Jeremy's stuff, she took everything he did and copied it down to cutting cost on bottle, presentation to the juice brief which was simply "make it smell like spicebomb". Overpriced, sold as being made by a master perfumer (which makes no sense when you cut creativity and costs down). If I'm wrong I'll send you a cookie.
Nice one. Please do Fatale Attraction. People need to hear it!
It's pretty much bargain bin of this stuff from what my educated guess would be. Just a low value of what Jeremy did.
@@robes08 It would just be funny to see if she'd give you a reaction like she did on all those channels that kissed her ass to get some clout.
🔥🔥🔥
250 $ !!??? get an Amouage, TF private collection, Thameen, Byredo... that's niche prices.
I wouldn't even try to test it. It is clear that he is aiming at his choir and not at fragheads.
I wouldn't mind smelling Eugene's scents or Dan's (smelly77) samples, but wouldn't pay niche prices for anything unless it's high quality ingredients and a complex unique scent.
I don't care about packaging or about performance. I only care about the juice and how it smells on MY skin. If it's weak but I love the scent, I'll respray it during the day.
I do have weak niche expensive fragrances that I absolutely love, and respray a few times a day (such as TF NPF, Byredo's Accord Oud and more).
At the end of the day, it's all about the smell !! I don't mind paying a lot of money for an outrageously awesome scent, regardless of its performance.
And btw, who cares about packaging, are you a package-head or a frag-head :) ?
ONLY THE JUICE MATTERS.
truth the juice matters the most.
Zadig & Voltaire does Ambroxan better than all that I have smelled. However I share your view
Ambroxan CAN be good, but should never be front and center.
agreed
Mark, I would love to see you reviewing Percival. It has became my one and only summer fragrance already 3 years now. I am not putting it in the same league as Bleu and Sauvage. It is much more complex and I will stick to my view even if you will not praise it. If we are talking about the first impression, only Allure Homme Edition Blanche has impressed me as deeply as Percival
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Speak facts
Steve!! I almost dropped my coffee this morning seeing your name, it's been a while my friend. Hope you are doing well.
😂😂 this is the joke of the fragrance industry, Jeremy aka WHITE LINES 😂😂
He's laughing all the way to the bank tho.
He never cross theses 😂 ❄️
This will be interesting
it was, happy to have this one in the rear view tho.
Not for me. Hate Blue fragrances. Thanks for the Test Drive Marc!!!
No problemo!
I almost did the pre-order when this was released, but held off, after seeing the price crappy box, no cap, no collar ,I passed on it again, when the price dropped I passed again, if it pops up for 35 to 50 I may pick it up, same for draco, blue atlas and shit ton of reviewer fragrances, because the are generally expensive and just meh , and sampling is difficult and expensive, so id rather just put that time and money towards other fragrances, thatll do what I'm looking for with the risk and feeling like a money grab.
truth!
Now everybody hates The Office 😂😂😂
Rob you should have do the trick with flexing how good Office is. Too late now but I know that comments wouldn't be like this.
I think it's just my audience, most have the same taste as me I presume.
Lol my buddy and I got it for some 50 percent deal and split it. It's basic and simple.
Good way to get it cheaper.
😁😉
😲
It appears after his coke binge that Jeremy has found Jesus 😂 dude looks like he aged 10 years.
The way he's going I'll be looking like a young pup beside him.
for long time I haven't rotfl on a frag review like in this one "I don't care if Jesus himself did it"
😅
I thought this thing got discontinued, but I guess the scam money is just too good.
just another trick to sell.
Ouch
hope it didn't hurt too much.
@@robes08 - Even though I don’t own “Office” or have any plans to buy it, I still felt the sting after this review. I know you gave an objective take, but you objectively stomped on this fragrance and I think it’s going to leave a mark! LOL
Wish I watched this before blowing $500 on multiple backups of office for men! 😂
Why? Bcz Rob bashed it now you don't like it?
I still have the first batch,50ml bottle of the 3rd and Black Tie and still like to wear them.
Just,there are different markets where all the houses are pushing their fragrances. Office 140€ 100ml,Black Tie extrait 160€ 100ml.
@@Frank-DuxVanDamme No I just probably should not have fallen into the hype that is all. I paid $80-$100 per bottle and just bought everything when I was getting started. It's true, there are things that do the same thing better and cheaper.
I got this and even when is not near being a master piece. I get complements every time i wear this. White t-shirt and blue jeans fragrance. To my nose its ✏️ pencil shavings and bergamot. Nothing special. Yeah get aventus 💯
I could see it being a casual wear scent for everyday use.
@@robes08 i get the impression that this is incomplete more like an idea .morillas had this as a paper weight when suddenly JERRY show up with a "million"😅
Office… I wear pretty much whatever I feel like when I go to mine, I even wore Dior Fahrenheit in there.
Once you wear Secretions Magnifique in the office I will salute you. lol
@@robes08 I have just been told that they will not be extending our contracts for economic reasons so I may as well on my last day there…
Locker Room for teens.... Perfect name
I should be the marketing manager at fragrance one, I'll get the names right.
🤯🥳
😅😵
🙂👍
👍
Wouldn’t touch this stuff if it was free.
ouch
Omg. First🎉
give him his medal!
Honestly for the price of Office for Men, I got 2 of the Naughton and Wilson line. It’s nothing super original, but it’s more classy, quality scent, has way more backbone, and doesn’t shout. I think if any influencer fragrance is worth it, it’s Gravitas Pour Homme. I agree with Marc here, that OFM is just cheap juice behind a trying-to-be-expensive name. There’s way more quality out there for way less money.
Appreciate your take, well said.
I agree with practically all of your criticisms, and i appreciate your no punches pulled reviews. I still like Office though.
Appreciate your comment. Enjoy it in good health!
Mark, you said projection is average and then in your final thoughts you stated that "it is a joke to the fragrance community on how loud this is and calling it an office fragrance"... I really don't get it - is it loud or average?
projection is average as a whole , during the review I mentioned it comes out like a bomb but then falls off within hour 3 or 4. I can just picture people wearing 10 sprays of this minutes before work and engulfing the whole office.
@@robes08 fair... I got my nose on this... got a 5ml from a fragrance community that was selling those... I am familiar with what many middle-eastern brands do when copying western ones - this fragrance kinda seems like that... If you can get your nose on something like Lattafa Ejaazi (which you can find for around 15$) you would understand what I'm saying
