So true. That Isabey's 'Sir Gallahad' is not spreading like wildfire with men in 'frag comm' just makes me like it even more. A hidden gem. Unexpectedly lovely for a gardenia heavy fragrance (I despise the heavy white florals so that's saying something). A startlingly gorgeous floral fragrance that smells great on men as an alternative in the softer side of the fragrance character spectrum.
I like my floral notes just perfectly fine. I am still looking for the most transformative floral scent, though. I want one that I can wear indoors, in the darkest and coldest winter and that makes me feel like flowers are in bloom, the days are lengthening and the sun is shining. That said, Un Jardin Sur Le Nil does need very high summer temperatures to perform well.
I always find it fascinating that Lavender is often a very masculine note in fragrances (no doubt because of the popularity of fougeres among men), considering most people would consider other uses of the flower such as candles and essential oil and even the colour etc as somewhat feminine... Also, the “don’t smell too close” is something that way more people need to know. There are so many fragrances I’ve come across that smell awful up close but so much nicer in the air. Spraying a bunch on and sticking your nose right into it is so different to the actual wearing experience.
Purchased Declaration d’Un Soir based on your recommendation, and it is absolutely delightful! I find it to be extremely long lasting as well. YSL L’homme Ultime is a fun rose fragrance to wear as well.
I have a flowery frag I scored at a local pharmacy . The sweetheart working there knew nothing about it. Penhaligon Zenzonia. 25$ it is really pleasant
Yeah J.C. you're right. Buying decants is very much so ideal. Decants help with budget, blind buying, fragrances you've collected and no longer wearing, and having them all with little room to put them all.
Open mind....So very thankful I took this challenge. Last year, you introduced me to Parfum Vintage. I did several orders and they sent me a sample called Operose. At first take, I was so turned off by it because I never ventured down this path in my fragrance journey. I gave it another shot, then another and my mind is totally changed. Now, I can't get enough. It's becoming one of my favorites. Oud Caspian, Oud Ispahan, Oud Touch, to mention a few. Happy for this introduction to other items. Thank you
Once again senpai you're totally correct. There are so many more 'feminine-leaning' fragrances that smell heavenly on men. Instantly sniffing an entirely unexpected scent profile on a man is utterly intoxicating. I have far too many recommendations to list, that's how 'with you' I am on this one.
Creed Iris Tuberose is a great summer floral scent it is a posh, clean , tropical scent it really smells like fluffy powdery suntan lotion , great for casual wear , or with a white linen suit , say for dinners in a beach resort or something like that Also ELDO Jasmine and cigarettes is a great jasmine, tobacco and hay decent, some tonka as well but it is this great warm and slightly smoky scent with a whole bunch of jasmine and a touch of sweetness kinda like a more floral chergui , I really love it . I would suggest dressing it up .
Justin, I started my fragrance journey this year and I still have a lot to uncover. After learning more about oriental, middle eastern fragrances I realized those are my jam, so I just started paying more attention to the notes in common... Turns out I am a sucker for a good rose! Thing is, I live in a hot place, so I was very eager to find a rose fragrance that I could wear on the day to day. Thanks to you I stumbled upon Declaration d'un Soir. My decant came in this week and boy... It is the truth! Thanks for your good work, keep it up! Hoping to get some more good quality floral freshies that arent super expensive!
I have to be careful with rose - but I love everything in the Declaration line. I have a few oud/roses and yeah, they go together like peanut butter and jelly. I definitely need to sample the Roja, as a HUGE fan of clove/eugenol.
Great descriptions of those frags! Whenever I see rose in a fragrance I instantly pause with caution.I always relate it to old ladies and I don’t like powdery at all. I do appreciate it in Raghba and especially in Al Wisam Day.The later being a light,clean rose without powder and stuffiness. Al Wisam Day goes carnal in the heat from the rose,similar to tuberose.
I definitely embrace florals thanks to Zaharoff Rosé. Pallas Athene and Narcisse Taiji works great on my skin. Pallas Athene I get around 12 to 15 hrs depending on the temperature. Narcisse Taiji I get close to 12. Pallas Athene tends to project when it's in the high temperatures in a mist similar to brushing your hand across pedals of roses covered in morning dew, but very pleasing. Also could you do a video on animalic fragrances for beginners I feel it's one of the most challenging notes I've ever come across.
As I’ve started collecting and becoming a more serious collector, I find myself falling in love with oud & rose based fragrances as majority of those dislike them.
Another great video. Initially I couldn’t see myself wearing any fragrance that wasn’t blatantly sweet and mass appealing but now I have realized my nose has changed a bit so I enjoy rose fragrances now which go I didn’t before
Dior has actually done men a big favour by introducing them to Iris. Rose and Oud are beautiful together and perfectly unisex. Thanks for encouraging us all to expand our horizons.
Much agreement. And when saffron and leather are used well in combination with the roses and woods...wow. It's a concoction that really welcomes the animalic ingredients and tends to work well for me without making me think of zoo enclosures and that 'farty cardboard' smell.
Initially, I don't like rose, I don't like florals, I don't like greens! But I discovered, along my Fragrance journey, that I am beginning to like Rose, especially when done well (as in Declaration lines). I am also beginning to love florals and greens, and recently I decided to be wearing more of those. So the video is on point, as always, Justin. I love Must De Cartier Gold Edition, Valentino Donna Rosa Verde, Tempting by Sofia Vergara, La Vie Est Belle L'Eclat L'au De Parfum, La Vie Est Belle, Declaration (of course!), Hermès Un Jardin Sui Le Tuit, etc. And I tend to wear all these more regularly now. Armaf Shades Wood (which is said to be inspired by the discontinued Kilian Oud Rose) introduced me to the so-called Oud-Rose combo.... Now I love it. I love Iris. I don't have any of the Dior Hommes (but I have Dior Homme 2017). Dior Homme /Intense /Parfum, Moschino Toy Boy, are in my radar now... Great video, J. C. Regards to Madam Fresh. 😊🙏
I only entertained rose fragrances when they involved oud. That combo will always be elite to me no matter what. I only started paying attention to a lot more floral fragrances recently when my wife and I tried each other's perfumes for the entire week. (It sounded like a good idea in my head) She has an extensive floral collection and most of them did a pretty bang on job choking me out for the week. However a few blended really well with my skin and i do have to say I'm eager to try out more floral scents marketed for men.
Hi Nash! I wonder if things like 'Memories' by The Gate work on your skin? Or things like 'Oud Baie Rose' by La Cloiserie? That last one is a syrupy sweet leathery rose with a creamy wood base and it's lovely on MY husband. He tends to go for the darker tobacco, sweet warm spicy fragrances and this one is great on him. If you see it when out shopping or can get a sample online it's one worth trying if you like leathery rose fragrances.
Hey Justin, another great video! L’Homme Ultime is one of my favorite men’s florals! Also love Zaharoff Signature Rosé but my wife usually holds onto that one. Hope all is well! ☺️🌷✌🏻
My favorite florals: Jasmine Neroli by The 7 Virtues, Carnal Flower by Frederic Malle, Soleil Blanc by Tom Ford, and Sabbia Bianca by Profumum Roma (I love white florals). I wasn't always into florals till I tried Portrait of a Lady (thanks to MrCologne76 for introducing me to it by sending me a sample). Wasn't crazy about it at first but it grew on me quickly and i've been more open to florals ever since.
I have a suggestion for a great floral scent! It's Andromeda from Tiziana Terenzi! It has water jasmine, ylang ylang, white heliotrope, Damask rose, peach, coconut, pear blossom, Ebony, sugar & amber! It smells super elegant and lasts FOREVER! About 15 hours on my skin and 3 days from one spray on a piece of paper! It may smell a tad girly on paper, but not on skin! Trust me!
Toy Boy is such an amazing fragrance for what it is. Not that expensive designer being so unique and quite polarizing - surprising considering what kind of fragrance came out in recent years. Just got myself a great deal on a bottle and I know it will be getting a good use, my girlfriend just put it on herself for the third day in a row :D
Amouage Reflection Man would be a very easy floral fragrance for men to like and wear. I don't know anybody who doesn't love this fragrance. My grandmother bullied me for my decant of Zaharoff Signature Rose.....AND SHE DOESN'T EVEN WEAR IT! She just likes smelling it! Armani Prive Rose D'Arabie and Maison Francis Kurkdjian L'homme A la Rose would be good ones to try as well.
Roja Dove has a couple fantastic sample packs that won't break the bank. Highly recommend. I love rose scent on my man. He actually wears Luna by Penhaligon (Probably not usually a guy's fragrance though but....you like what you like) Appreciate the suggestions AND the discount. Yay! Argos sample pack ordered!
You got a very down to earth vibe Justin, and I love your taste in fragrances. If I should give some constructive critique, you can separate the fragrances in to segments in the video, so its easier for ppl to find the fragrance review they are looking for.
I love love love rose fragrances done well. It can be a hit or miss in a fragrance. I’ve tried the Zaharoff Rosé, and it’s such a delight.. i do love the creaminess of the fragrance with beautiful hints of vanilla. its quite romantic and can change anyones bad day into a beautiful one. the others mentioned here, not yet but definitely looking forward to purchasing a few decants you mentioned. I just repurchased GUERLAIN SANTAL ROYAL EAU DE PARFUM. this fragrance is VERY 💪🏽💨 only one or two spays max is all anyone will need the entire day. It dries down so incredibly well. in an hour or two the fragrance develops into an intoxicating rose. 🌹With slight hint of vanilla also and cinnamon that just so inviting, feeling super confident! It literally gives me goosebumps. its very much unisex. not sure if you’ve tried it, but hope you’ll review it sometime.
i used to be one of those guys,if it wasn't boozy,musky,strictly masculine scents i didn't want it,then i got my nose on porpora and it shook me to my core,now rose is my favourite niché
Thank You Once Again My Man!✊🏾✊🏾 Roughly about two years into my "fragrance journey".✌🏾 I'm on my second 10ml. of "Reflection Man". First 💐 love! 🤗 (I'd like to try "Dia Man") I also wouldn't mind another decant YSL Ultima. ☝🏾 I also enjoy "Purple Rain" No.. not the legendary album.☝🏾 (Prada Olfactory Collection)😆 Thank You for your suggestions! 🙏🏾 You have mentioned Cartier in a variety of videos.🎥 I believe I'll try a 2ml. of the one mentioned, and another "Declaration" you reviewed that was "soapy" 🧼/ fresh.

Great video JC. Its true most men shy away from florals and i get them. However, they are indeed missing a lot if they dont even give it a try. From your list, i think declaration dun soir and narcisse taiji are the easiest to try. Afterwhich the iris based fragrances like Insouciance and Bucoliques de Provence are the must try given the dior homme, prada lhomme and gentleman trend. You really do give the (floral) freshest content in youtube :)
Hey Justin. As a guy I don't mind florals, in fact I like them. However, in many cases they lean feminine in my opinion. There are great Middle-Eastern perfumers who use rose with oud, amber, saffron and/or musk to produce great fragrances. Those tend to be powerful and sweet, but I do love and wear them. I suspect Roja's UAE is of that category. I still have to smell the others. There are many florals that I really love and even seek in western perfumes such as carnations, violets and lavender. Cacharel pour l' homme is very carnation heavy, Fahrenheit has tons of florals but nothing that stands on its own. While I adore the smells of jasmine, tuberose and narcissus, when they stand out in a perfume they usually lean feminine and do smell fabulous on women.
Thank you, Justin. I love florals and you provided a wonderful list that has me intrigued. More specifically, I'm really eager to try out the ones by Atelier Materi and Sarah Baker. I have only recently tried Loudo from Sarah Baker and absolutely love it so I'm interested to try more of what she has to offer. As far as Atelier Materi, I have not had any of their fragrances, so it will be a fresh step into a new house. Was that bottle cap made of cement? That is so refined, yet badass. Also, get your nose on Sweet Repose by Darren Alan Perfumes (the gentleman that made Devil's Share, a scent that is quickly becoming famous in certain circles on here). It is an absolutely stunning Iris fragrance that is like no other. Sure, it has the normal iris backbone, but it is so nuanced and has this freshly harvested element to it that makes it something special.
0:23 - Floral? Oh now I don’t have many floral leading scents, apart from Toy Boy, you sir have piqued my interest @08:14 - that’s it, Men who wear floral scents, I think, come across as more confident; as they’re self-assured enough to say I am happy to wear this floral scent and I don’t care about your assumptions. I’d rather smell of deep dark luxuriant plum brandy soaked roses than a rusty door hinge and flop-sweat
Hello Justin, how are you?Great job as usual! You got me on that Cartier I am digging that brand thanks to you. I Love ZARHAROFF Signature Rose I get really good compliments. Do you think you will ever do Brass & Soul again I never got one 😩😩😩? Stay safe brother and hi to Grace
Hi Justin. Nice selection although I haven’t tried any of them yet. Just a q: - I have some rose forward fragrances: Amouage Lyric Man, Amouage Rose Incense, Mancera Roses Vanille. Would it be redundant to get any of the rose forward fragrances you mentioned? I’m trying to consider Toy Boy, Declaration dun Soir or that Adonis awakens by Argos. Thanks
Thanks for the video, Justin! I really like floral fragrances but they are so little talked about in the mens (or unisex) fragrance world
Thanks for the suggestion!

Lavender doesn't really smell floral to me though - more piney and aromatic.
Daniel, it is a shrub with flowers.
Purchased Declaration d’Un Soir based on your recommendation, and it is absolutely delightful! I find it to be extremely long lasting as well. YSL L’homme Ultime is a fun rose fragrance to wear as well.
So glad you enjoy it!
I'm wearing Manceras Aoud Line right now that has a strong rose note and I love it. Awesome longevity and projection and most on Fragrantica agree.
I have a flowery frag I scored at a local pharmacy . The sweetheart working there knew nothing about it. Penhaligon Zenzonia. 25$ it is really pleasant
Yeah J.C. you're right. Buying decants is very much so ideal. Decants help with budget, blind buying, fragrances you've collected and no longer wearing, and having them all with little room to put them all.

Hey Justin, love floral fragrance and I have few Kajal Lamar, Ex Nihilo Midnight Special, Montale Black aoud intense, Oud Sapphire by Blend Oud,
I've heard Lamar mentioned by another reviewer. They also mentioned that it was a "banger 🔥" floral scent!
I need to try those!
I definitely embrace florals thanks to Zaharoff Rosé. Pallas Athene and Narcisse Taiji works great on my skin. Pallas Athene I get around 12 to 15 hrs depending on the temperature.

That Cartier was my signature for a while. I love that scent
I had a sample of Moschino Toy Boy and it's not for me... but I did buy a bottle for my wife... and I love it on her
😂 I did the same, I gave it to my girlfriend.
Hey Justin, another great video! L’Homme Ultime is one of my favorite men’s florals! Also love Zaharoff Signature Rosé but my wife usually holds onto that one. Hope all is well! ☺️🌷✌🏻

That one is beautiful.
The only floral I really own but adore; Gucci - Memoire d’une Odeur 🙌 Lasts a long time on myself and has a beautiful calming scent profile ❤️
Always in agreement with your videos. This has been the summer of roses for sure, with LV Les Sable Rose.

JC!! Keep em coming!!! Loving all the new topics!!! You are always on point!! Stay up and stay blessed!!
Thank you Philip!
Cartier 🌹 is the most elegant fragrance I own. Guys, just try it, your lady will adore you
Can’t tell them too much about declaration d’un soir. One of my hot weather banger’s.
I'll forever know you for this fragrance. Love the respect you give it in your videos definitely getting it. Love from South Africa
Thank you bro. Which fragrance are you talking about?
Great video and I enjoyed it and I like Zaharoff Singtaure Rose and toy boy and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day
Amouage Reflection Man would be a very easy floral fragrance for men to like and wear. I don't know anybody who doesn't love this fragrance. My grandmother bullied me for my decant of Zaharoff Signature Rose.....AND SHE DOESN'T EVEN WEAR IT! She just likes smelling it!

@@stayfreshproductions wow!! Argos knows how to impress with the packaging. I haven't unwrapped it but on my! Wax sealed envelope??!! Loving the vibe.

I love florals. Wearing YSL Ultime today. 🌹
Hey Justin, great video. Thank you for sharing this
Thank you for watching!
i used to be one of those guys,if it wasn't boozy,musky,strictly masculine scents i didn't want it,then i got my nose on porpora and it shook me to my core,now rose is my favourite niché
Hey Justin. Thanks for the. video. Keep them them coming.
Thank you!
Thank You Once Again My Man!✊🏾✊🏾
Roughly about two years into my "fragrance journey".✌🏾
I'm on my second 10ml. of "Reflection Man".
First 💐 love! 🤗
(I'd like to try "Dia Man")
I also wouldn't mind another decant YSL Ultima. ☝🏾
I also enjoy "Purple Rain"
No.. not the legendary album.☝🏾
(Prada Olfactory Collection)😆
Thank You for your suggestions! 🙏🏾
You have mentioned Cartier in a variety of videos.🎥
I believe I'll try a 2ml. of the one mentioned, and another "Declaration" you reviewed that was "soapy" 🧼/ fresh.
Thanks Again J.C.(🙏🏾×2)
✨ CONGRATULATIONS ✨
💍💍
(👼🏾🙏🏾)
Thank you Jason! I still need to try Dia as well.
I just ordered Zaharoff Signature ROSÈ this morning.👍
Great video JC. Its true most men shy away from florals and i get them. However, they are indeed missing a lot if they dont even give it a try. From your list, i think declaration dun soir and narcisse taiji are the easiest to try. Afterwhich the iris based fragrances like Insouciance and Bucoliques de Provence are the must try given the dior homme, prada lhomme and gentleman trend. You really do give the (floral) freshest content in youtube :)
Thank you Edgardo! I had to take a road to florals myself.
Hey Justin. As a guy I don't mind florals, in fact I like them. However, in many cases they lean feminine in my opinion. There are great Middle-Eastern perfumers who use rose with oud, amber, saffron and/or musk to produce great fragrances. Those tend to be powerful and sweet, but I do love and wear them. I suspect Roja's UAE is of that category. I still have to smell the others. There are many florals that I really love and even seek in western perfumes such as carnations, violets and lavender. Cacharel pour l' homme is very carnation heavy, Fahrenheit has tons of florals but nothing that stands on its own. While I adore the smells of jasmine, tuberose and narcissus, when they stand out in a perfume they usually lean feminine and do smell fabulous on women.
I totally understand!
You had me at D'un Soir. I have it and love it. And, I'm not that into florals. lol
Love it!
Toy Boy is a complement MONSTER, women literally follow my trail when I wear it lol 😆 seriously
I love toyboy, it's very polarizing. It's either you love it or hate it.
my first fragance love was mfk l'homme a la rose and its also my most complemented.
Thank you, Justin. I love florals and you provided a wonderful list that has me intrigued. More specifically, I'm really eager to try out the ones by Atelier Materi and Sarah Baker. I have only recently tried Loudo from Sarah Baker and absolutely love it so I'm interested to try more of what she has to offer. As far as Atelier Materi, I have not had any of their fragrances, so it will be a fresh step into a new house. Was that bottle cap made of cement? That is so refined, yet badass.
Also, get your nose on Sweet Repose by Darren Alan Perfumes (the gentleman that made Devil's Share, a scent that is quickly becoming famous in certain circles on here). It is an absolutely stunning Iris fragrance that is like no other. Sure, it has the normal iris backbone, but it is so nuanced and has this freshly harvested element to it that makes it something special.
I love the whole house of SB. Loudo is nice. The caps for Atelier Materi are awesome! I'll have to try Darren Alan's stuff.
Yo Justin! This video should be added to the “fragrances for each note” playlist! Or maybe remake it in the new format? 👀
Oops, i forgot it wasn’t just a Rose video 😂
Haha I appreciate the thought bro!!
0:23 - Floral? Oh now I don’t have many floral leading scents, apart from Toy Boy, you sir have piqued my interest
@08:14 - that’s it, Men who wear floral scents, I think, come across as more confident; as they’re self-assured enough to say I am happy to wear this floral scent and I don’t care about your assumptions.
I’d rather smell of deep dark luxuriant plum brandy soaked roses than a rusty door hinge and flop-sweat
Thank you Justin - it’s as if ROSÉ was made for you and such and inspiration to me. I love the description, whispy. You did a great job describing it.
Thank you George! I love it so much.
Great video!
I love UAE by Roja but that skank.... I found if I use it in moderation and don’t reapply I don’t get the skank. The perfume is gorgeous
I love the skank! XD
I take Perfume Workshop's Tea Rose and layer it with one of my oud fragrances.
I'm a goddamn rebel!
Hello Justin, how are you?Great job as usual! You got me on that Cartier I am digging that brand thanks to you. I Love ZARHAROFF Signature Rose I get really good compliments. Do you think you will ever do Brass & Soul again I never got one 😩😩😩? Stay safe brother and hi to Grace
Would love to do B&S again! Glad you enjoy Cartier and Rose! Thank you Greg.
Boy toy smells amazing to me !
1872 for men is nice nice nice
Great video bro
Much success 🙌 God bless ❤️🙏
Thank you Steven
Hi Justin.
Nice selection although I haven’t tried any of them yet. Just a q:
- I have some rose forward fragrances: Amouage Lyric Man, Amouage Rose Incense, Mancera Roses Vanille. Would it be redundant to get any of the rose forward fragrances you mentioned? I’m trying to consider Toy Boy, Declaration dun Soir or that Adonis awakens by Argos.
Thanks
Thank you! Great choices.
When did Declaration Dun Soir's price skyrocket? I should have gotten it when it was $28.
☹️
Hey Justin, who won the giveaway a couple months ago? Maybe I missed it, but I've watched every video since, maybe twice... Thanks.
Which giveaway? There were a couple.

Rocking those True Classic tees, lol
Haha!
Your videos.... 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you my friend
I like my Kenzo Power. To describe shortly: flowers in coca cola.
Sounds great!
Bruhhh Toy Boy Fr?? Sorry but I can’t stand it. I gave it to my gf, not my taste at all… It smells what a woman should smell like
Just remember that it is guaranteed that there are fragrances you love that other guys don’t like. All about taste.
Toy Boy? 😂
yep!
