Before I even get into this Video my wonderful Britain Cousins..... For me, these 2 are already on my list: THAMEEN & FRAGRANCE DU BOIS…!!! I absolutely LOOOOOOOOVE LOVE your content and it’s just a matter of time B4 you guys really gain some massive traction....!
Criminally underrated channel. I have been watching fragrance reviews for years and am a collector myself. Thank you guys are quite possibly the most underrated fragrance reviewers on this platform. People are missing out. I’m glad I am a subscriber.
Couldn’t agree more. Only 7k subscribers is criminal. Up there with the most knowledgeable and passionate fragrance reviewers. Thanks for all the great reviews. You’ve opened up mind to many new niche houses.
Great list! There are so many wonderful fragrance houses out there, but off the top of my head, I would also include Hendley Perfumes, DSH Perfumes, Chris Rusak, Bruno Fazzolari, Blackbird, Mondo Mondo, Parfums de Nicolaï... ☺️
Yes second those mentions as well you guys would love these houses of you ever get your nose on them outstanding and something you won't get in today's perfumery 😍😅😍
Pryn, 4160 Tuesdays (Sarah and Prin are absolutely amazing, talented perfumers) and Zoologist are my old time favourites;) Guerlain is my fav designer brand. seems like we have similar taste. You guys, need to try DSH perfumes which is my ULTIMATE FAV HOUSE so far...if you are in UK get your nose on Sarah Baker Perfumes
Antonio Gardoni. That's right :) All fragrance houses from your list are worth to explore. Summer is near. Time for my Guerlain Homme L'Eau Boisée. Other worth to mention fragrance houses are Filippo Sorcinelli, The Zoo by Christophe Laudamiel, Bruno Fazzolari, Homoelegans, Chatillon Lux Parfums...
I think my bank account hates that i own bottles from almost all of these houses 😂 and a couple i've never tried or even.heard of. Appreciate you shining a spotlight on them 🙏 impeccable choices!
you guys were losing me with some of these choices (not because they are bad...I just never heard of them) but you hit the nail on the head with Guerlain....my favorite house as far as consistency and quality by far....Heritage EDT is my choice for life if I only get one...and I have over 150 bottles both designer and many Niche.
I think the one doing the best work today is Sultan Pasha. Nobody does it like the Sultan does it. He is doing the most amazing work with 99.9% naturals, and it is staggering how good his blends are. They are all attars but OMG, they kind of make your perfumes feel obsolete
Yes, LOTS have people have suggested SP to us. I must admit that I have no experience with attars, and so am a little apprehensive. Maybe I should bite the bullet!
Wafts from The Loft I just bit the bullet by ordering 4attars from Abdul Karim Al Faransi house. From what I hear the perfumer is using high quality ingredients at very reasonable prices according to Nikil from Perfume Guru
Great video, and great choices. A handful of houses I'd put in a list like this: D.S. & Durga (lots of expressive, NYC creativity), Meo Fusciuni (an artistic genius, IMO), Parfums d'Empire (bold, artfully crafted perfumes), and Svensk Parfym (a maestro of evocative realism).
Thanking the heavens you had zoologist on the list. I’m new in the Fragance game but a long time lover of the arts n this house is what really turned me on in my aromatic journey... lol. You guys are bomb dot com n the best noses in the game. Keep up the good fight for artistic compositions n individuality. Even though I still love my adg Profumo I’m very glad I’ve evolved to the dangerous n daring. P.s. still waiting on some tunes fellas.
I would second that too. Bortnikoff has to be mentioned where ever Areej Le Dore is mentioned as he is his partner in Feel Oud. Anyways awaiting till you get your first bottle then you will know what we are talking about 😎 great video ❤️🙏❤️
I made my guess about your choices before watching the video, here is what came to my mind in what order: Bogue, Zoologist, Tauer, Papillon, Pryn, Areej LeDore, Guerlain, Tuesdays, January, Amouage. My list would be: Fort and Manle, Amouage, Herve Gambs, Zoologist, O'Driu, Alkemia, January, Humiecki&Graef, Xerjoff (JTC line), Thierry Mugler.
Aetherealist Cheers! I am such a fan of their Multiple Rouge, that is the weirdest scent ever. Skarb is a great scent, too. Yes, it seems like this company does not exist anymore (?)
Guys, are you aware of Hudsons in the UK? They have just released 3 new frags called 04, 05, and 06 (Guess what the first 3 are called? ;-)) They do some great stuff and well worth a video.
It’s a crime to leave out Kerosene and Ormonde Jayne. These two alone beats most of the ones you two picked. Aside from Tauer and Areej Le dori . Which of course had to be on the list.
Well done, I have discovered you as I have just read a post by Liz (Papillon) on Facebook. I have watched 5 videos of yours in a row, excellent reviewers. It also helps improve my English. Btw: why Ensar Oud and Sultan Pasha are out of these 10? Cheers. Ruggero
Thank you! The honest answer is we haven’t tried either house, even though they are two which have been recommended to us many times. We hope to rectify that soon!
I’ll wait for it. Some amazing compositions are part of both brands. In the meantime, I’ll watch all the other reviews you had already posted . Keep up the good work, I can really see how passionate you are each and every moment you sniff from the strip or from your skin by the look in your eyes and the expressions you make 😬
*I would love to try some of John Biebel's perfumes. I hope he sends me some samples someday :) And Areej Le Doré but can't get it here... All the others I have tried. Good list, guys! :)*
ALD is intense stuff Agnes, got 3 samples: Atlantic Ambergris (best one for ambergris lovers), Baikal Gris (nice, but use the few drops in hot summer for full experience), Oud Luwak (thickdark bitter spicy vibe bomb, special & needs time)
@@AgnesEva Got them in Parfumo website, very expensive (0,8-1,5 ml around 18 €) but great experience to smell the precious ingredients in natural high quality. Wore Atlantic Ambergris oversprayed (over 8 sprays) as Scent Of The Movie for Marvels Infinity War, the air conditioner there filled the theater room otherworldly like Thanos used the reality stone. ✊😂☕
Wow! That was an education. Glad I caught you guys early because you are going to explode. Love the channel and the houses. Zoologist T Rex has changed my life.
I recently subscribed and I really like your content. I was wondering what your take on the fragrance du bios house was. And if a vlog about the house was forthcoming
Gentlemen, excellent video as always! I wholeheartedly agree with your choices. I really think that Teone Reinthal’s perfumes would be a big hit for you two as well.
Hey guys, hope you'll try us... at our launch event next week in London! Please come. Will be quite a different kind of event for fragrance- multi-sensorial, personal and fun! We be an honor to meet you.
I must give you both a big 'Thank You' for introducing me to Strangers Perfumerie. After getting samples and testing the out I just had to purchase Cigar Rum and Burning Ben, my these are just amazing. Now I'm testing out Oliver and it's also very, very good, but I believe it's either sold out or discontinued. Oh, and yes this house is very affordable for the quality you receive. Thanks again and keep doing what you do!
Great list guys. And I am glad you made the point that that both creativity and value for money were priority for your list especially in the current perfume climate.
Great video, gents! Thank you, once again! I'm very pleased that you mentioned the House of Guerlain. I discovered the wonderful world of fragrances in a new way about six months ago or so. I read Victoria's advice on Bois de Jasmin that you should start by becoming familiar with the classics, and after reading about various Guerlain fragrances, I purchased bottles of Habit Rouge and Heritage, both in EDP, and was impressed by both. I wore Habit Rouge all winter whenever I wore red, which was at least twice a week. Then I purchased a bottle of Guerlain Vetiver and felt the same about it. It'll be one of my staples this spring and summer. I sampled L'Homme Ideal EDT and EDP and Santal Royal and liked them as well. Then, I purchased samples of Shalimar, L'Heure Bleue, Mitsouko, and Samsara, all in the current formulations, for my wife to try. I realize that the reformulations often don't do justice to the original formulation, but I couldn't stop smelling them. Shalimar changed three times in the dry down. I thought that Mitsouko's dry down was the most surprising. Samsara is so attractive. I need to learn to appreciate L'Heure Bleue and sample Jicky. I began reading about how to seek out vintage formulations, and want to spend time finding them. I realized how much I've missed in my life by not appreciating fragrances when I was young. The rich history of the House of Guerlain is quite interesting, and the historical significance of this and other houses and perfumers adds an additional dimension to my journey into the world of fragrances. Once again, thank you for helping your viewers expand our knowledge and for providing us with such great advice! Happy sniffing!
Golden tips for a novice enthusiast, thanks so much! Would love to see more videos like this from you, i.e. more top tens generally and specifically on houses/perfumers too, be it a continuation of overall "must try" favourites (i.e. numbers 11-20 following this initial 10), and also top tens for particular categories like the ouds and animalics which I see you've done and am about to enjoy :)
Yes, we may do a top 10 perfumers. The top 10 format sometimes feels like it is a bit overdone, so if you have any original suggestions for top 10s we'd always welcome them.
@@WaftsfromTheLoft Even if done a lot as a format, what lends it strength in your hands is your takes on these. And actually if different people produce top tens on similar topics it can sometimes be quite instructive, especially when they reflect on why tastes might differ. For this reason the fact that there are two of you and you each bring your favourites is already great because it allows a comparative discussion to emerge that reflects underlying differences in tastes and approach (even if your tastes may be quite similar). I guess seasonality and scent families are the typical, not original suggestions for top tens, but still worthwhile I think, especially for someone like myself trying to get a curated take on highlights of the landscape that's out there. One thing I've started to appreciate is the frequent commonalities in scents produced by the same house or perfumer (your note on 4160 Tuesdays suggests a house/perfumer who is very versatile and whose scents perhaps have less in common with each other). For example having smelled many Tauer scents I can smell some commonalities - I've gotten to know his style, and can smell familial relationships between his Lonestar stuff, L'Air du Desert, Coeur du Desert, L'Oudh, etc. And similarly having sampled a lot of Tom Ford Private Label scents recently. In searching for a perfume I like enough to wear I therefore am starting to appreciate that one key may be finding a house or perfumer that takes an approach one enjoys, then homing in on one particular scent from them. This is why I really like your review of fragrance houses/perfumers, it feels like a better, more efficient way to get a sense of the landscape than accumulating this by listening/watching/reading reviews and analyses of individual scents.
Zoologist is probably the most artistic niche brand out there. He's from Toronto and I have met him a few times. He's a little quiet and reserve but he's certainly a true gentleman.

Thanks Chris!
Dear Gentlemen, Great list and quite exquisite taste. I am really looking forward to exploring Profumum Roma. Cheers
Amna Aziz thanks!
Before I even get into this Video my wonderful Britain Cousins..... For me, these 2 are already on my list: THAMEEN & FRAGRANCE DU BOIS…!!! I absolutely LOOOOOOOOVE LOVE your content and it’s just a matter of time B4 you guys really gain some massive traction....!
Thanks! I was a little put off of Thameen as the first fragrance I tried was Carved Oud, and on smelling it I assumed it was a clone of Oud wood
Criminally underrated channel. I have been watching fragrance reviews for years and am a collector myself. Thank you guys are quite possibly the most underrated fragrance reviewers on this platform. People are missing out. I’m glad I am a subscriber.
Thanks so much!
Couldn’t agree more. Only 7k subscribers is criminal. Up there with the most knowledgeable and passionate fragrance reviewers. Thanks for all the great reviews. You’ve opened up mind to many new niche houses.
Great list! There are so many wonderful fragrance houses out there, but off the top of my head, I would also include Hendley Perfumes, DSH Perfumes, Chris Rusak, Bruno Fazzolari, Blackbird, Mondo Mondo, Parfums de Nicolaï... ☺️
Wow, lots there I haven’t tried. Several people have mentioned DSH, so we must try those.
Wafts from The Loft You won’t be disappointed. Dawn is so very talented, and there are so many fragrances to choose from ☺️
A wallet emptying video - I’d add fort and Manle and EO
great mention
Yes second those mentions as well you guys would love these houses of you ever get your nose on them outstanding and something you won't get in today's perfumery 😍😅😍
Yes, F&M are great, Boknokopf is on my ‘to buy’ list, and EO are definitely on my ‘to try’ list!
Pryn, 4160 Tuesdays (Sarah and Prin are absolutely amazing, talented perfumers) and Zoologist are my old time favourites;) Guerlain is my fav designer brand. seems like we have similar taste.
You guys, need to try DSH perfumes which is my ULTIMATE FAV HOUSE so far...if you are in UK get your nose on Sarah Baker Perfumes
Thanks Yana! I’ve never tried DSH or Sarah barker, I’ll check out your vids!
Guerlain made perfumes way before this whole niche/designer dichotomy became a thing.
Love, love, love the selection. Thank you! Un abrazo
Thanks!
Antonio Gardoni. That's right :)
All fragrance houses from your list are worth to explore.
Summer is near. Time for my Guerlain Homme L'Eau Boisée.
Other worth to mention fragrance houses are Filippo Sorcinelli, The Zoo by Christophe Laudamiel, Bruno Fazzolari, Homoelegans, Chatillon Lux Parfums...
Lovely channel guys!!! Subscribed 💪👍
Thanks!
Come on boys Santal Royale give it a try Guerlain
Got it
Further south 😳😳😳
I think my bank account hates that i own bottles from almost all of these houses 😂 and a couple i've never tried or even.heard of.
Appreciate you shining a spotlight on them 🙏 impeccable choices!
Ha! Thanks!
I love the intelligence with which you both approach the subject.
Thank you!
Before watching I thought if Areej, Papillon, Tauer and Bogue are in there somewhere I would give you a thumbs up. Then I started watching...
I think "Rook Perfumes" is something you should try, especially his "Amber".
We’ve reviewed Rook, Thurible and Undegrowth. Greats scents
you guys were losing me with some of these choices (not because they are bad...I just never heard of them) but you hit the nail on the head with Guerlain....my favorite house as far as consistency and quality by far....Heritage EDT is my choice for life if I only get one...and I have over 150 bottles both designer and many Niche.

Am I the only one who dislikes cumin in fragrances? I feel I'm missing out on so many great scents but my nose only picks up body odor.
Certainly not the only one, a lot of people hate it. But I completely understand how one note can ruin a fragrance for you
Great vid.. aroma from heaven
Great video, and great choices.
A handful of houses I'd put in a list like this: D.S. & Durga (lots of expressive, NYC creativity), Meo Fusciuni (an artistic genius, IMO), Parfums d'Empire (bold, artfully crafted perfumes), and Svensk Parfym (a maestro of evocative realism).
Haven’t tried Meo Fusciuni, will have to check them out. Thanks for the tip!
@@WaftsfromTheLoft If and when you do, my picks would be Narcotico and Little Song. Cheers! :)
Who in hell dislike this video??

Thanks! Ha, yes we will include some music at some point!
Check out Aqua di Parma scents...start with Colonia...
Yes, I’ve had Colonia for many years, and have essenza as well
I’m late to the party, what are your guys take on Eight & Bob?
It's a house i've never spent a huge amount of time with. Must explore more.
Great Video , super juicy knowledge
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great houses, and I am hopeful that you will visit Spanish houses like Carner etc... Congrats
Bortnikoff and Sultan Pasha are greats. Love all your videos. Just love them. You guys are awesome.

Amouage was very close!
Wow, I haven't seen Humiecki and Graef mentioned in YEARS. I'm still kicking myself for not buying a bottle of Skarb when I had a chance...
Aetherealist Cheers! I am such a fan of their Multiple Rouge, that is the weirdest scent ever. Skarb is a great scent, too. Yes, it seems like this company does not exist anymore (?)
Aetherealist You can still buy Skarb from ausliebezumduft.com
Nice to see Alkemia and Zoologist on anyone's list!
Excellent video. You guys are dangerous for my bank account! Just wondering... have you ever reviewed Slumberhouse? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Thanks! Slumberhouse are really hard to get a hold of in the UK, but we do have a small bag of samples. Watch this space!

Wafts! I just saw this. Thank you so much for your kindness.
Pleasure
Tauer and Bogue both at No. 3?? :)
It's fair to say my taste in fragrance is very different from the loft guys.
Wait for it ... wait for it ... GUERLAIN! I knew you couldn't stay away! Vive aux oeuvre de Jacques et Jean-Paul!
It’s a crime to leave out Kerosene and Ormonde Jayne. These two alone beats most of the ones you two picked. Aside from Tauer and Areej Le dori . Which of course had to be on the list.
Thanks for the recommendations guys, very useful video. Keep them coming 👍
Will do!
"Crack caps" :D :D :D
Another enjoyable video. Thank you both very much!
