Super helpful for someone that just got into fragrances a couple years ago. Great advice. I definitely blind bought a couple times and ended up giving them away. Plus 50ml is a good size if you don’t wear it everyday. No need for a big bottle every time.
Another great video with great advice for those starting out. Definitely telling folks to buy decants first is a great tip. I am looking forward to seeing what you think are some "unknowns." Keep up the great work. 💙💙
I think you're the best at everything to do with fragrance..and I've seen a lot of fragrance TH-camrs with more followers than you like curlyfragrance and don't get me wrong she's amazing but I feel like you're style is just the best in every way possible
amazing video man…as a collector i can relate… Partial bottles can be a game changer if you want a bigger collection. And in case its a partial tester then its cherry on cake. These days i am shifting towards niche from designers as most of them are sweet and watery made for pass pleasing. Recently bough khamrah, smells like niche quality which is crazy
great video, I just got into the fragrance rabbit hole and I blind bought BdC EDP and I love it, I know its generic but you cant go wrong with it as a first buy. Def gonna buy testers, want to get a nice and simple collection of full bottles
The thing with fragrances is any decent smelling fragrance can garner compliments because the majority of people maybe only wear deodorant, and keep a fragrance only for special occasion. To this day Antonio Banderas Blue Seduction remains my most complimented scent, and I have designer and niche fragrances that fragcomm hyped up but they don’t get nearly as many compliments.
Started building my fragrance rotation back in August and this is exactly the process I went through. I'm focused on building a small, budget friendly, long-lasting collection. I have Lattafa Oud for Glory (formal), Lattafa Asad (loud crowded events), Lattafa Khamrah (dates), and Invictus Parfum (jack of all trades). Anything else I'm curious about gets ordered as a decant that I might eventually buy full-size once I finish the equivalent one in the rotation.
2:45 tbh bigger bottles are technically cheaper per ml/oz (price proposition) and Im afraid of running out of a specific fragrance and having to purchasing another of the same bottle or even a back up bottle.
In an environment where everyone wants to sell you something. Being personable trustworthy and authentic will help you stand out. Love what you’re doing keep it up!
Great video - thank you! Sample, sample, sample. After 30 years of wearing fragrances, I've divided my fragrances needs into two categories - warm/hot weather vs cool/cold weather. Now I have a few in each category. I have a mix of Niche, designer, and clone. I'm covered.
The point where he says that taste in fragrance changes over time and swaps in Bentley Men absolute ❤… Got that beautiful fragrance delivered yesterday and I guess now my journey is almost complete!!!
damn, just the vid i need, was getting hyped over a perfume and given that its a 100ml bottle, it will last an eternity for me too 😂. thanks for this vid. The most practical way is getting some decants and variations to try out different fragrances.
last point is the most important. people get caught up in the hype of designer names when there are so many better ones for half and less that smell 100x better
When I used to have a fragrance or two I would get 100 ml. Or perhaps if I intended to use one every day like Profondo in my summer holidays, I got the 125 ml. But now that I have many fragrances I get 50 ml or 75 ml tops. They don't get empty quickly since I rotate them anyway. And yes I have a lot of samples too. One can go to a Sephora or something a test for free but I guess it's not always easy or you want to try a niche fragrance so you have to get a sample first instead of giving more than 300 dollars for a blind buy of a weird oud scent.
If I had to limit my collection, it would be to Fahrenheit, The One, Sauvage, Ombré Leather, Black Orchid, and Nautica Voyage. I’ve tried dozens of little sampler sizes and most were unimpressive at best, and atrocious at worst. Most colognes and perfumes are utter garbage.
The good thing is, you can always sell your fragrance that you no longer love for a new one I sold my Bulgari Wood Neroli because I rarely have daytime outdoor activities now, and use the money for 1 million elixir because I'm more active at night or indoor
It's a bit tricky to rely on the listed notes of one fragrance to get a sense of another but as an absolute beginner it's OK. It works better for scents which are predominantly one note, like I got a sample of Ombre Leather for leather. I really wish there was somewhere you could go to test individual notes/aromachemicals, otherwise it's a bit of guesswork.
I literally did go crazy one day and trashed/gave away a 30+ bottle collection. But it was 10+ years ago in high school before ppl did this goofy online research. I simply bought stuff I liked.
Honnestly, the best advice I would give you is to check niche. You mention it yourself “high quality fragrances”. Learn to know different brands and styles (and with styles I don’t just mean floral, citrus, etc. But also indie etc. Because in my case I was always underwhelmed with the cliche niche brands like pdm. But they might be perfect for you). Buy a few bottles you love and wear them. Now you spend 1000s of dollars on cheap fragrances. There are definitely great designers, but the cheap clones I’ve smelled are… cheap clones. Ok big brands spend money on bottles and marketing etc, but the stuff in you detour noir bottle is not the same as Layton. It’s a cheaper clone and it will smell and behave like this. All the “smells 90%” as… is bs to me. Kamrah smells sickly sweet and has zero of the complexity and refinement of angel’s share imo. Perfume is a complex art meant to be enjoyed, not to just keep throwing your money at and have as many bottles as you can on a shelve.
Something I just noticed after having about 50 fragrances was that they might go bad/ expire over time since I won’t use them up. Do you worry about this? Also it might be a cool video idea lol
Just think and not blind buy. I just buy 4 fragrances like this and my biggest deception is immagination lv, it’s just soap in a bottle. Really nothing special, just good quality, that’s it
Bleach water inside your dior sauvage that’s crazy. For real I made the same mistake with a niche fragrance got sugar water not even worthy to be used in the garbage bin 😂😂
i need the best fresh fragrance thats not overused by like everyone guy. im looking for a blue-green one that can be used all seasons. no eros please🙏🙏🙏🙏 any suggestions?
The prada fragrance shown in the video and tn is probably one of the worst purchases I ever had. Almost 100% of people ive asked has had a negative opinion of the smell.
Crazy how, aside from smelling and looking up as many different fragrances as I could find, the opposite worked for me! I started with smaller bottles within my preferred families to see how I'd adapt to each one, and I'm happy I did, because by now I have clear favorites. Happy shopping!
If I had to start my frag collection, I would not be a collector anymore I will just buy a freshie(cdnim), a winter frag(zimaya sharaf blend) and a date/formal (lattafa ofg) frag thats it you are good to go for just 80$
100ml is best value for money in general, but if you have a good basic foundation of fragrances like fresh and clean winter summer, then any spicy fragrances are unusual ones I’d recommend getting smaller size
U buy one looking at these reviewers. It'll end up not like u expected, and u buy another one, and that keeps going on and on until u are broke 😂 Golden Rule- Don't start 😂
My strategy: I watch several reviewers doing the same fragrance and the one that seems more trustworthy, I’ll buy. If I figure that we have similar tastes, it’s a no brainer.
I like my collection as of rn it’s not the best nor the worst; savuage EDT, Chanel EDP, Hawas, legend spirit, and a clone of SWY, i buy what I like as of the notes like he said. Don’t follow the trends, I barley use hawas because it became a trend
I wish I had the guts to send 90% of my collection to hell and keep just my Molecule 01, Molecule 02, Loewe 7 Cobalt, Bois Imperial, Dior Homme EdT and Zadig & Voltaire This is really him. BTW, I love your polo shirt!!
When you relate fragrances to getting dates you lose credibility. Your content seems good but that kind of shit ruins it. Either be totally authentic or be a shill like everyone else. Or trying to straddle the two is even worse. Rest of this was very good
I've never bought a bottle of "fragrance" in my life and gave away any that were given to me for birthdays, Xmas etc etc, horrible pointless waste of hard earned money
HAHAHAHAHAH, you know to some degree I do agree that if your money is hard earned, fragrances should probably be one of the very last things you consider buying😂
If I had to start my fragrance collection over I would start by never buying one.
😭😭😭

@@Fragrance_Lament true, i love Theoreme as well similar to turathi blue also asad
If I could restart my 50+ collection, I would just buy oud wood, eros, and sauvage elixir.
Which eros do you like more? edt or edp
i have eros edp and im getting very poor performance 3h max never buying eros again
Worst collection advise

I sold my Bulgari Wood Neroli because I rarely have daytime outdoor activities now, and use the money for 1 million elixir because I'm more active at night or indoor
What platforms do you sell on? Wouldn't people be worried about the legitimacy of the colognes you are selling?
1 miilion elixir is so amazing
Where do you sell?

Great advice, thanks.
Here's my number one tip for getting compliments on your fragrance: be good looking
Does cremo's spice & black vanilla smell different when the color darkens?
Honnestly, the best advice I would give you is to check niche. You mention it yourself “high quality fragrances”. Learn to know different brands and styles (and with styles I don’t just mean floral, citrus, etc. But also indie etc. Because in my case I was always underwhelmed with the cliche niche brands like pdm.

Can you review Tumi Continuum and see if there's any dupes that smell similar to it? I got it in a monthly scent sub and fell in love
Bleu de Chanel, YSL La Nuit Del Homme, and something fresh like Versace Pour Homme tbh.
Short and sweet
Can you please mention a few websites that I can get my samples?
yes of course! my favorite is microperfumes!
Microperfumes or decant X
It’s harder to find samples now days especially if you want specific ones. Does eBay sell fake samples ? Amazon?
You have a good voice man
0:29 pigmie quote made me laugh lmao
YESSS someone who gets it🥲
Ombre nomade/ blond amber and ur pretty much done could pretty much throw away all my other 90 bottles 😭
Something I just noticed after having about 50 fragrances was that they might go bad/ expire over time since I won’t use them up. Do you worry about this? Also it might be a cool video idea lol
I hope you enjoy the new video about this👏🙌
@@Fragrance_Lament Bro you're a legend haha

Do a Decant business with your collections. Win-win situation.

What are some UK websites to order sample bottles? Thanks in advance❤
mircoperfumes should work in the UK, but let me know if it doesn’t!
Do you recommend the one edp by D&G
Bro, I don't know the authentic website for ordering sample bottles, please suggest some websites,
Thanks
Could you please suggest any clone for Bvlgari Empyr?
If I had to start my frag collection, I would not be a collector anymore
I will just buy a freshie(cdnim), a winter frag(zimaya sharaf blend) and a date/formal (lattafa ofg) frag
thats it you are good to go for just 80$
I hate Lattafa Khamrah. I find that spicy/ boozy/sweet scent "headache inducing" for lack of a better word. Yuck.
Erous , light blue , aqua di gio
How is prada and legend? Havent tried yet
I love Prada and Legend personally! Prada is actually kind of my go to
What is the ref of your polo?

Decants are cheaper than full bottles.
But full vottles give you the ability to do decants

100ml is best value for money in general, but if you have a good basic foundation of fragrances like fresh and clean winter summer, then any spicy fragrances are unusual ones I’d recommend getting smaller size
is amazon safe?
It can be! I just suggest looking for one that has lots of good reviews saying its real!
