Cope, my man, you are so close to 100K. No one deserves it more than you. I’m a big Houbigant fan, I currently have 5 of their fragrances. My Bois Mystique looks like yours, and I ordered the EDP (that cost around $150-$175 on the grey market depending on the site). The extrait versions go for around $475, so they cost a pretty penny, but I’m not a big fragrance baller like you. My favorites are Ambre des Abysses and Tabac Nomade, but honestly I have yet to smell a bad one. They’re all really good scents. I’m not sure why, but 2 of my bottles have Silver caps, and 3 of my bottles have Gold caps. I’m also totally down with you on Moustache, the cheapest fragrance in my collection but definitely a favorite. Best wishes for you and Grace. God bless.
From what I understand ''Eau Forte'' refers to the industrial process using acid (hence the ''strong water'' that would be litteral translation of ''eau forte'') to engrave and carve metal. The english name of that technique is apparently Etching. I smelt Sauvage Eau Forte in stores a couple times now, the opaque white juice did feel a bit uncomfortable a sticky on skin, however the scent did last a while on my arm contrary to what I had read prior. Still it's exciting to see a polarizing release (given that it's polarizing for other reasons than being overpriced or being an millionth flanker of a line), it makes me curious to see for myself everytime. Always happy to hear the occasional Guerlain & Houbigant mentions, especially when it's not to mention the usual suspects from these houses. As well as our goated Rochas Moustache. I never hear people mention the EDT very much but it's also quite great I loved wearing it this summer.
I've been wearing Red Colorado alot lately. Fantastic. If I had a complaint I feel the heart notes are under represented to thr detriment of the fragrance, but I still can't get enough of it.
I've been waiting to bust out some tobacco scents as the weather cools. Fort & Manlé Late Harvest, TF Tobacco Vanille, L'homme Ideal Extreme, PDM Herod...all are favorites. Also anticipating some wearings of Vanilla Oud.
Great list, Justin. I picked up Moustache EDP and Al Haramain Amber Oud Tobacco Edition EDP last month and can’t wait to wear them in the fall/winter. My fall/winter go-to fragrances are PDM Haltane, PDM Carlisle, Vertus Vanilla Oud, and Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Azraq EDP.
I have to agree with the chaps up here, I just started looking at your channel 3 weeks maybe 4 weeks ago and it’s my go to. I’ve purchased a couple of your recommendations blind buying and have been pleasantly surprised at how spot on you’ve been on the notes and performance. Love it !
I've acquired a few frags over the summer that I can't wait to try for fall... Kilian Apple Brandy on the Rocks.. Xerjoff Alexandria II.. Vertus Vanilla Oud.. and Initio Oud for Greatness... can't wait 🔥
I used to love Cadillac for men when I got it more than 10y ago... I can't find it anywhere nowadays, but I remember it as being very potent... I found the perfect replacement for it - Bentley for Men edt (not the Intense)...
Glad to see your stance on the Eau Forte. I commented on your other video on how I sprayed myself a few times at Macys and gave it an entire day, and was surprised on how much I enjoyed it. I don't own the EDT, EDP, or Parfum, but do own the Elixir. I think it's easy to get caught up in the mob mentality online when negative reviews start pouring in, and people don't want to like something that everyone else is slamming. Fragrances are no different that music or art... it's all subjective. There's no right or wrong. Props to you for having a mind of your own. Enjoying your videos over the past week or so and gave a sub. Keep up the good work.
Pasha de Cartier Noire is pretty nice I think you talked about it a while ago. My nose hasn’t adapted to fall/winter like scents yet but I’m digging that Cartier one
Of all the Micallef fragrances that I‘ve tried(and that‘s quite a few),Red Colorado surprised me the most,pleasantly ofcourse.I would rock this joint anytime,what a scent.
Great sounding list as always, my brother, Justin. Autumn is also my favourite season by a lot & am super stoked for the weather to cool a bit (though where I live, we were robbed of Autumn last year).
Man I’m itching for the weather to break into the 60’s to wear Ebene Fume! Beautiful fragrance, def in my top 5 from the house. Also my wife has confiscated Gucci Intense Oud and I’ve only worn it once. Underrated gem
I can't select top of the top. But there is something pleasant for me at this time of year. In my opinion there is some vibes of Micallef DesirToxic , John Varvatos Vintage and Credo by Nishane. Thank you for sharing
Just wanted to say that I really love your content Justin! I’ve tried MFK gentle fluidity silver and TDH eau givreé off your recommendation, and they’re both outstanding. Looking forward to trying out some of these fall fragrances!
I am looking forward to wearing some favorites, Monsillage Vol 870 YUL-CDG, Mancera Saharian Wind, the original Encre Noire and 19-69 La Habana. Cozy sweater weather fragrances. I also just picked up Thameen Insignia and I'm looking forward to wearing that a lot soon. Fall is my favorite season with some of my favorite food, fashion and fragrances.
AdVME was on my wishlist for sometime now just cos the bottle looks super cool. Now that you have talked about it, I am gonna get it. After-all, i love that bottle. Thanks J.
Justin appears to be the type of guy who owns hundreds of fragrances yet only 6 are worthy of a full wearing 😅 love ur videos my guy 🤌 I appreciate your contribution to the fragrance community.. all jokes aside 💯
Can’t wait for the weather to cool off a bit to wear Gucci intense oud.. have not had the chance to wear it much since buying it. It is a banger though🤘🏻
Interesting mix, intrigued to try the new Sauvage. I’d love to hear your thoughts/breakdown on Fougere D’Argent, I know you have mentioned it briefly. I sampled it for the first time recently and bloody loved it!
Nice picks. I've got Bois Mistique one year ago and I love it. I have the exact label and it's the EDP Extreme, not the Extrait. The Extrait comes in a huge package and it's 460 € here in the EU; in the US it's probably 600 $ (for example Creed are almost double the price on your side of the pond vs. the EU). Red Colorado intrigues me as I love coniferous scents. Cheers!
I rarely comment but I’m an avid viewer (and like button clicker😆). Thoroughly enjoy the content. Great mix of wit and actual fragrance knowledge. Thanks for basing your opinions on wearing the fragrance vs being a one-spritz-wonder.
Superb choices, as always. Aedes de Venustas are such a cool brand. I haven't tried this one (I will definitely try to track a bottle) but their "Encens Japonais" is also incredible, super balsamic with spices, a bit "churchy" maybe some will find but that's totally my jam! :)
👏👏 My latest buys are fragrance world royal blend original (basically a 100ml of angels share for 38 shipped) Royal tobacco Guerlain ideal edp Prada homme intense Loumari porthole Then I got 5 moudon fragrances from fragrance lord, a bit of a risk. They're called eclipse, tempest, wisdom, glorious, and charmant. It's a very lesser known brand but they're all extrait. I'm hoping they actually make the fragrance blends and it's not just a bunch of mass bought premixed fragrance oil mixed in alcohol The very few reviews I saw on them they were well liked and said to perform well, and I only paid 52 per bottle after the coupon code so for the cost I think it could end up being a very great decision
Love Gucci Intense Oud by I gotta be mentally ready to wear it whenever I do. It just sticks to my skin like glue. I can scrub it off in the shower and I will still be picking up the scent for two days. Pretty sure its skin chemistry too cause I sprayed on the couch thinking it would last for a long time and it didn't but when Im wearing it and my neck touches the couch, then it lasts for a really long time. Gotta be mentally ready to only smell that for awhile if I ever wear it 😂👍
Looking forward to wear Straight to heaven Extreme! Such a lovely fragrance. Have you tried Houbigant Ambre des Abysses? I'm keen to know your thoughts on it. For me a wonderful, classy fragrance. Yet to add to my collection though
$20 for Mustache edp! I'd buy three! Maybe more! 😂 I paid $65, and it was worth every penny! G PH Oud is good... Guilty PH Oud is better... as are PH1, PH2, and Envy, IMO. I'm not interested in the new "Sauvage." But I'm glad you are enjoying it, JC! I think we could use a greater appreciation for the fact that we are all similar, not identical--in "FragCom" and in society at large. Variety is the spice of life... and, "The funk is in the flaws." Surely we do well to see the beauty in differences and the value of others' preferences. Thanks again for your excellent content, Justin. Looking forward to being able to buy your next Zaharoff fragrance! Only the best hopes, thoughts, and prayers for you, Grace, and your extended family, always. ☺️👍♥️🙏
Nearly time for Overture to come out and just ordered Silver Oud. Ebene Fume is so underrated from Tom Ford but that’s good in a way as you can get better deals on it.
Do yourself a favor and also get a sample of Overture Woman. It’s totally unisex (my only woman’s perfume) but it has main notes of apple brandy, cinnamon and leather - perfect for fall/winter and it smells divine. Definitely not as aggressive as Overture Man, but both are winners in their own right.
@@nateriley4067 I know I went into Harrods to try it but they didn’t have it to try. I hear a lot of good things about it I’m going to have to order a sample of it.
People hating on Eau Forte Because that’s just the thing to do. This world is full of followers. If you didn’t like it I’m sure the reviews would be worse.
Nice score! Mind me asking where you purchased Tuxedo from? Moustache isn’t a direct clone, but rather an inspired twist, so you can have both without duplicating. But that’s only if you don’t want to waste the good stuff for a day running errands, Moustache would fit the bill. Be well and God bless.
@nateriley4067 Appreciate the insight. I bought my bottle of Tuxedo that I've received today from Jomashop for 236 shipped after a 10 dollar discount code, which is always available to find for Jomashop. It's definitely a Patchouli heavy fragrance with hints of spice and sweetness that leans masculine. It has an alluring quality about it imo. I'll be wearing it yr round 🫡
@@upsetuloss Thanks, that’s a really great price. I didn’t want to say anything, in case you paid retail, but I saw it was currently available on the grey-market. Fragrancebuy.ca is asking $251.63, so you made the right call going with Jomashop. I’m currently doing a no-buy August after I bought 39 bottles in June & July (I went a little crazy), but I’m thinking Tuxedo will be my first purchase once I pay off my credit card bill and September hits. Best wishes.
Justin you said that if people are talking about the new Sauvage eau forte without at least giving it one full wearing then they can't speak on it with authenticity and accuracy. But one of the fragrances you're speaking about in this very vid (M. Micallef's Red colorado) you haven't even tried on skin yet?
I went past my local department store today and saw a Sauvage Eau Forte tester with a huge white clump of dried fragrance stuck to the nozzle, looking like a piece of used bubble gum. Gotta keep that nozzle clean!
There is little difference between autumn and winter fragrances…it’s split up mostly for more differentiation. However, I would say that early Fall is my favorite time to wear aromatic Fougères (aka barbershop scents) because they contain both fresher and warmer elements, so they’re great for those early fall days/nights that may not completely warm or completely cold.
@@stayfreshproductions that makes total sense, thank you for the clarification. Fougere's are the one fragrance type I haven't explored yet so that is great to know. Thank you
Here’s one for ya. The new Aston Martin Vantage V12 has been realest!!! So what would the best five all time masterpieces would 007 be wearing. Have a go at that! Play ya horn son!❤❤❤❤🙏🙏👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🥃🥃
Does a fragrance’s availability on online stores you receive commission from influence your decision to include them in your ranked/list videos? Because to some this may come across as a “my top ten fall fragrances” video rather than “top ten fragrances I like that you can buy from my business partner.”
Of course a fragrance’s availability on a webstore with which I’m partnering affects its presence in a video like this. But if you know my content, you know that I only feature fragrances I actually love. This type of marketing is the way of the world. If it is upsetting to someone that I might make a couple dollars from a purchase that does not cost the consumer any more than what they pay, then that person has no need to buy anything that they see being talked about online!
@@stayfreshproductions My consternation comes from you not so clearly disclosing this fact within your videos. Even if you truly love the fragrances, there remains an obligation to clearly state your financial incentive in marketing them. Also, you will know that saying “this is just how things are” isn’t great when this community is filled with such dishonesty.
@@stayfreshproductionsYeah, you relegate that information to the video description and purposefully leave it out of the content itself. Why? You know the content comes across like “these are just ten fragrances I happen to love” rather than “I am choosing to show you these ten fragrances because I am selling them.” You may still technically like them - I’m not disputing that. But the video itself is misleading by design. Call it lying by omission. Most people in your comments aren’t equipped to parse the nuance of marketing transparency so this comment won’t matter anyways. Just call it the two scents from a long time viewer😮💨
They way I understand it, they buy fragrances in bulk from brands/distributors at wholesale prices, and sell them for much smaller margins than retail pricing.
The Rochas Moustache is a weird one for me. People seem to hype it, but for me I can't smell much else than alcohol from it. The bottle looks great, and it was cheap, but then again it just smells like alcohol.
Hi Justin! Bois Mystique extrait 500 dollars, and Bois Mystique Edp 200 dollars, a little bit more or less. Probably your wallet felt the difference easily and now it stays angry with you. See you soon!
Ummm sir bc that's the correct way to pronounce it. In English AND Italian lol. Justin must have been humoring whoever said that mess about "fort'. There is a Ft. Hood; a Ft. Dix.....but I play the pianoFORTE
Easy…. Forget it’s only September.. Although here in Michigan… we’ve had some chilly nights and mornings… 48 degrees the other night… Although we are currently in a little heatwave… But that’s Michigan for you. Legit 65 one day… and 30 with snow the next..
This fragrance is an easy one to like (no big oud, no animalic note, etc.) Next time, spray 10 times, let the bottle sit for 1 or 2 months, then evaluate it again. You may be surprise how an oxidized fragrance change. I had a couple of "horrible" bottles that I am pleased to wear now, and others were my opinion hasn't changed.
Well I have spend time with forte is ok nothing special to be honest I only got it Because of who is behind it but I was disappointed not his best work.
Cope, my man, you are so close to 100K. No one deserves it more than you. I’m a big Houbigant fan, I currently have 5 of their fragrances.

Ebene Fume is incredible, great video!
It really is! Thank you!
I actaully wore Baldesserini when it first came out around 2003. It's always been slept on IMO.

Best frag channel hands down.👌
Btw do you still enjoy halfeti cedar as much as you did before? And in which setting would you go for it? Thanks
Thank you! And yes I do. Definitely fall/winter evenings more dressed up.
You're almost there Justin!
I'm betting you'll cross the line before October.
Thank you!
Baldessarini is such a classic to me, my Dad used to wear it. Great Performance too for an cologne
Really like sauvae eau forte. Actually surprised at how much I like it.
Crazy county of mine is getting wormer and wormer every year. Few days ago was 28°c
Heavy artillery waiting for colder days 😁
I can't select top of the top. But there is something pleasant for me at this time of year. In my opinion there is some vibes of Micallef DesirToxic , John Varvatos Vintage and Credo by Nishane. Thank you for sharing

I purchased Gucci intense oud a couple of years ago and never wore it. I must try it out once the weather gets cooler. Great video.
It's so good!
Got to review penhaligans the dandy seems like your kind of thing

Haha so gross!
Nice video
Ebene fume is god tier level
Forte’. It’s French.
It’s hyfunated that means the E becomes Aaaa.
Newbie question but I'd love to know your opinion, what makes a fragrance more suited to autumn vs winter? Does it come down to local climate?
It's just the fresher ones sometimes works better in the heat. The darker sweet ones can be a little A cloying in the heat.
There is little difference between autumn and winter fragrances…it’s split up mostly for more differentiation. However, I would say that early Fall is my favorite time to wear aromatic Fougères (aka barbershop scents) because they contain both fresher and warmer elements, so they’re great for those early fall days/nights that may not completely warm or completely cold.

Does a fragrance’s availability on online stores you receive commission from influence your decision to include them in your ranked/list videos?
Because to some this may come across as a “my top ten fall fragrances” video rather than “top ten fragrances I like that you can buy from my business partner.”
Of course a fragrance’s availability on a webstore with which I’m partnering affects its presence in a video like this.
But if you know my content, you know that I only feature fragrances I actually love.
This type of marketing is the way of the world. If it is upsetting to someone that I might make a couple dollars from a purchase that does not cost the consumer any more than what they pay, then that person has no need to buy anything that they see being talked about online!
@@stayfreshproductions My consternation comes from you not so clearly disclosing this fact within your videos. Even if you truly love the fragrances, there remains an obligation to clearly state your financial incentive in marketing them.
Also, you will know that saying “this is just how things are” isn’t great when this community is filled with such dishonesty.
@@Jacob-ix9yrHe absolutely does and has talked about this many times. Your judgment seems to come without actually knowing.
@@Jacob-ix9yr if you read the top of the video description, you’ll see the disclosure clear as day. It’s in every video.
@@stayfreshproductionsYeah, you relegate that information to the video description and purposefully leave it out of the content itself. Why?
You know the content comes across like “these are just ten fragrances I happen to love” rather than “I am choosing to show you these ten fragrances because I am selling them.”
You may still technically like them - I’m not disputing that. But the video itself is misleading by design. Call it lying by omission.
Most people in your comments aren’t equipped to parse the nuance of marketing transparency so this comment won’t matter anyways.
Just call it the two scents from a long time viewer😮💨
Can someone explain how discounters work?
They way I understand it, they buy fragrances in bulk from brands/distributors at wholesale prices, and sell them for much smaller margins than retail pricing.
The Rochas Moustache is a weird one for me. People seem to hype it, but for me I can't smell much else than alcohol from it. The bottle looks great, and it was cheap, but then again it just smells like alcohol.
That’s a bummer. Where did you get your bottle?
Let réfère more friend
I love the smell of Ebene Fume, but for that price point, its performance is just not doing it for me .. at least on my skin
I tried forte for a day at dillards…. Interesting
Hi Justin! Bois Mystique extrait 500 dollars, and Bois Mystique Edp 200 dollars, a little bit more or less. Probably your wallet felt the difference easily and now it stays angry with you. See you soon!
Nice 🤌
Bois mystique is fantastic but performance and longevity is horrendous, especially for the price. Would be a 10/10 otherwise
Of course musicians prefers to pronounce it Eau “For-tay.” 😂 👊🏼
😆😉
Ummm sir bc that's the correct way to pronounce it. In English AND Italian lol. Justin must have been humoring whoever said that mess about "fort'. There is a Ft. Hood; a Ft. Dix.....but I play the pianoFORTE
100K by end of 2024???
I think you got it….
Easy….
Forget it’s only September..
Although here in Michigan… we’ve had some chilly nights and mornings…
48 degrees the other night…
Although we are currently in a little heatwave… But that’s Michigan for you.
Legit 65 one day… and 30 with snow the next..

No Zaharoff Signature Tabac..??
lol…. Kidding.
Couldn’t help myself…
But you own a Lincoln Justin ain’t no Cadillac for men in that car 😭
Moustache has been the worst blind but I have ever made. I immediately returned it 5 minutes after the first spray. Buyer beware! Trust me.
This fragrance is an easy one to like (no big oud, no animalic note, etc.) Next time, spray 10 times, let the bottle sit for 1 or 2 months, then evaluate it again. You may be surprise how an oxidized fragrance change. I had a couple of "horrible" bottles that I am pleased to wear now, and others were my opinion hasn't changed.
Well I have spend time with forte is ok nothing special to be honest I only got it Because of who is behind it but I was disappointed not his best work.
Sauvage Eau Forte is so disappointing. Gimmick.
👌🏾
