I love the way you break these down into vibes. Would love to have a video of you breaking down all the different vibes that you differentiate in your collection. A sort of "wear THESE types of fragrances for THIS type of vibe" sort of video. You're knocking it out of the park with your honest look at fragrances and the fragrance community in general!
I’m new to this fragrance community and hobby. I do not want to have more than 10 fragrances in my collection, in fact probably around 7 is my sweet spot. Few niche and few designer. Today I tested some hyped up clone fragrances and realized that I don’t like them and I’ve had them in a list of potential buys. I’ve had similar experience with Le Male Elixir earlier this month. I hope people realize the value of your content as you are offering alternatives of hyped up/heavily sponsored and advertised fragrances. Thank you.
If you stay in this hobby trust me brother you will definitely end up owning more man 7 fragrances, it’s so addictive, it’s weird. I and many others (from comment sections) started off thinking “I’ll just get 1 fragrances that suits every occasion and call it quits” then you smell another fragrance that also fits an occasion you thought you already had covered and you just have to have it😂 especially if this fragrance is cheap (£30 - £80). Don’t get me wrong, I hope you’re satisfied with 7 but if you’re human you’ll succumb to the hobby. Also check out Aaron Terrence hughes, he’s a perfumer but also makes TH-cam videos. His collection is affordable and majority are sooo good. Also great longevity and spillage on many of his fragrances 👍🏼
Thank you! It sounds like you're already starting to refine your taste. Just remember that there is no hurry with building a collection you love. Welcome aboard!
Always nice to know an alternative to Elysium as its quite simple and common. No denying the opening is beyond compare but if theres a chance to improve on that performance with a similar scent profile then that is a welcome sight. Thanks JC for the suggestion
You’re so good. As time allows, please continue. Have you done a comparison of Ford Ombré Leather EDP to the Parfum? I’d be interested in your take, e.g., on what occasions would you wear either? 👍🏽
I got ADG Profumo a year ago I liked it but wasn't crazy about it (gifted it to my Pops). Kenzo EDP is definetly a great replacement. It smells more expensive than it is.
L’Homme Ideal L’Intense is soo good. Finally tried this recently after hearing you talk about it so many times. Tested a couple times at the Guerlain boutique in NYC and got a full bottle about a month ago, quickly becoming one of my favorite scents especially for the fall! This series is 👌
@@realKaymoney the fragrance floor at Saks Fifth Avenue (2nd floor of the flagship store on 50th / 5th). There is a full Guerlain boutique with their entire fragrance line. Also general PSA to anyone in NYC or visiting, go to the fragrance floor at Saks and prepare to spend a long time there. They have full (in a few cases partial) collections of soo many big niche houses: Acqua di Parma, Amouage, Chris Collins, Creed, Frederic Malle, Mancera, MFK, Montale, Nishane, PDM, Penhaligons, Roja, Vilhelm Parfumerie, Xerjoff the list goes on I can't even name them all. Also of course they have full collections of many big designer houses (Dior, Chanel, Tom Ford, Cartier etc). I go for smelling sessions at least twice a month 🤣
I got to the point where performance was No1. Than I was looking does scent suits me. After some time I had all shooting rockets fragrances lasting 12+h but over time it got to intense for my receptors. Now I'm enjoying scents! Feel so much better. EDT? No problem. Sounds funny but I smell them very long. Even new Dreamer formulation. Guess I'm not going nose blind. Ppl listen what Justin is talking about :)
No hate on your current series, but you know what one I LOVED? The one where you and a friend chose 5 fragrances and 6 houses, and you had to guess which scent was from which house. I hope that makes sense! That was so fun though! Some houses are obvious, but many are not. I bet that is hard!
I sprayed on secretions magnifiques yesterday by accident (I thought it was Fat Electrician) and it was awful for the first 30-45 minutes. Before I got to a sink to wash it off, it changed to something bearable, but still not good. It’s mostly a novelty fragrance to me. A party favor if you will.
Le Male Elixir and Scandal Le Parfum by Gaultier smell almost the same to me. Except Le Male Elixir is a beast. I always skip over Scandal and go straight for Le Male Elixir. Three sprays lasts me 14+ hours.
Is there anything to replace Tuscan Leather with more sweet and raspberry focused smell? I like raspberry and leather combination a lot but I would preffer something more smooth and sweet, less leather-animalic. I have tried Rasassi La Yuqawam and its closest to what I would like to get.
New YSL is just ok, not worth the investment for me. Carlisle is nice, but I think Santal Des Indes is much nicer. Ombre Leather is nice but not my favorite, personally I prefer Tuscan Leather for a leather perfume. Homme Ideal Intense is a much better one than Ombre Leather. Profumo is really nice, I ran out last year, recently I did get Kenzo Homme EDP (thanks for bringing it to my attention, because all previous Kenzo to me are just ok) so 100% agree! It is very long lasting too. Elysium is lovely though pricey Not Familiar with Moss+, if you have ever smelled Gucci Nobile that would be in the same alley. I would go for something like Bucheron EDP or even EDT. Never cared for Male or Ultra Male. Guccy Guilty EDP is very nice. Lovely series, love to see more..
2nd Soul is FUCKING AMAZING, people. Justin is being humble AF, because he DAMN WELL KNOWS 2ND SOUL IS THE SHIT. Go get it, at the very least get a sample, and have a cot damn nose-gasm. Aight, I’m done.
In multi part videos like this, it is redundant to put in all the disclaimers and explanations in every single video, when all the info can already be found in part 1. A suggestion would be to put all the disclaimer/info in the description box only for any future parts to avoid redundancy Otherwise, great video!
You’re right…but that is expecting that the average viewer will want to read the info box 😆 I understand from your POV, it is definitely redundant. But unfortunately, the best practice as a TH-cam creator trying to exponentially grow my channel, is to gear every video toward the newest viewer. So thanks for your patience.
Justin do you know how to track fragrance wears and how many wears on parfumo? I see you can put what you wear each day but it doesnt track. Thought i heard you mention it once before
I think I’m that one person who thinks Carlisle is way overhyped. It’s so brash and dank. It needs something to bring the notes together and smooth it out. It’s long lasting. Layton is better IMO.
Gucci Guilty EDP growing on you, huh? Lol. Told you it was different yet mass appealing. Glad you're liking it. Shout out to Kountry Wayne in that clip too 😂
I'll be sure to let my wife know that I should have gotten my fourth favorite L'homme Ideal fragrance instead of her favorite fragrance of mine (Ombre Leather) 🤣
@@stayfreshproductions don't get me wrong leather when used correctly can be beautiful. Three of my favorite leather scents are Dior Homme Parfum, CH men prive by Carolina Herrera(now discontinued), and guerlain Ideal edp. The leather in Ombre Leather is just too overbearing and linear in my opinion. At least on my skin its linear. I sold it to my buddy and he loves it🤷🏽♂️
That LAST edit was HILARIOUS and YES I am DEFINITELY enjoying this SERIES!!!
Thank you!
@@stayfreshproductions You're welcome
there are so many hyped fragrances and I love this series! if another episode came out, I'd definitely watch it
Same Here.
Thank you Victor!

Carlisle was amazing but gosh it’s so strong. Smelling the atomizer after use gives that patchouli earthy vibe definitely!
Wore 2nd Soul today for the second time. One of the favorites in my collection!
Keep doing the series!! I love it!
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you!

Thank you! It sounds like you're already starting to refine your taste. Just remember that there is no hurry with building a collection you love. Welcome aboard!
I love this kind of series. To have more option but not exact same DNA, and of course more unique. Please keep the series going
Great job. This is helping me to streamline my collection and my purchases.
I definitely ask for more these upgrade videos sir.
Thanks.
Thanks, will do!

Kenzo edt intense and EDP are very unique take on an Aquatic fragrance I like em both

Great video! I think Salt & Pepper is a great alternative to ADG Profumo as well. It comes off smoky and slightly aquatic off my skin.
Love that one.
Another great video. I really enjoy this series and the parameters/ disclaimers you put around it. Context is important!
Thank you Aidan!
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day

Im really love that you are bringing light to other fragrance houses that are flying under the radar.
Also, im surprised to be the first comment 😂

@@stayfreshproductions I hope you two can reconnect and put our another episode!
Good watch as always J! SoTD is Governors Island from Bond no 9.
Thank you bro!
Justin, you’re killing it!! Great video!
Thank you!
Your personality comes out in the way you edit the videos. The LeTteRinG / Ludacris reference were so good 😂. WE SEE YOU
Haha thank you bro!
always liked Kenzo fragrances I’ve used. I like Kenzo Aqua. A cheapie and very good quality for work even
2nd Soul would be a great replacement for Carlyle. It smells very similar. I just tried Moss yesterday. It's very nice
Interesting! That’s the first time I’ve heard of that similarity. I’m not sure they register quite the same way to me. But that’s the magic of scent!
I sprayed on secretions magnifiques yesterday by accident (I thought it was Fat Electrician) and it was awful for the first 30-45 minutes. Before I got to a sink to wash it off, it changed to something bearable, but still not good. It’s mostly a novelty fragrance to me. A party favor if you will.
Haha for sure!
I really like Kenzo Homme EDP - one of the top Kenzo's for me, just behind Tokyo
I would put triumph of bacchus as an alternative to Carlisle
Triumph is better than Carlise in my opinion but I still sold both.
ToB... My fav frag period 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
TOB over every tobacco fragrance
13:37 lmao keep the series going 🙌
Le Male Elixir and Scandal Le Parfum by Gaultier smell almost the same to me. Except Le Male Elixir is a beast. I always skip over Scandal and go straight for Le Male Elixir. Three sprays lasts me 14+ hours.
Lol cool. But what does this have to do with this video? 😆
Wearing Prada amber pour homme intense, could be an upgrade to profumo :), my exact reaction to myslf was “meh” as well lol
Nice video. I'm looking forward to the next one of this series
More to come!
Give us more!
Give us more!
Give us more!
Joke aside. I love this series. Mainly caus i get to know about some frags which are not on my radar
Love These Videos, Please Keep Them Coming My Guy!!!
Will do!
I am a woman and I love to wear Ombré leather on me. Love it. ❤
Lovely!

Check out Argos Bacio Immortale!
Try green leather. I get raspberry with green facets. Kind of shampoo like.

Santal des indes challenging… clearly sample if you can. Try before you buy.😮

I have Profumo … my scent of the day … to be honest it smells too salty but smells better on a rainy day

There is no Replacement for Ombre Leather By TF 🙌🏻 in my opinion
💯
I'm enjoying it Justin. Thank you :)
Justin do you know how to track fragrance wears and how many wears on parfumo? I see you can put what you wear each day but it doesnt track. Thought i heard you mention it once before
You can only see all those details on the desktop version of the site!
@@stayfreshproductions ohhh ok good to know. Thanks
Another good one Brodie bro 😁, let’s have another!
The biggest upgrade to Secretions Magnifique wearers is simply not bathing anymore.
I really like your alternatives very unique perspective
Thank you very much!
Hear me when I say this! I'm so glad that you don't "clone fragrance video" us to death!🤣
I have zero problems with clones... to each its own ijs🤷🏾
Justin, what's good bro? I am traveling right now, are there any outlets where I can pick up your fragrance or do I need to buy exclusively online?
What’s up! The only places it’s available in store is in Sydney, AU, and possibly Greece. Otherwise only online
I think I’m that one person who thinks Carlisle is way overhyped. It’s so brash and dank. It needs something to bring the notes together and smooth it out. It’s long lasting. Layton is better IMO.
Literally got Carlisle a couple days ago....if ONLY this video came out earlier....nah, never mind, Carlisle is fantastic! 🙂
As long as you love it!
Gucci Guilty EDP growing on you, huh? Lol. Told you it was different yet mass appealing. Glad you're liking it. Shout out to Kountry Wayne in that clip too 😂
Thank you for the video.I feel like PDM is a very over rated house. A lot of the men’s fragrances smell the same to me. Not impressed
Ombre Leather is WAY WAY WAY too powerful.. holy moly
The fact that you referenced secretions magnifique is hilarious.😅
🥴
😂😂
I'll be sure to let my wife know that I should have gotten my fourth favorite L'homme Ideal fragrance instead of her favorite fragrance of mine (Ombre Leather) 🤣
TY FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE PEACE UNTO YOU AND YOUR...

Soo …what happens at 5 minutes? 🤔
Good series
Ultra Mal is how it’s pronounced
Secretions Man-e-Feek
👌🏾
I like!!!
Just Put On Ombre Leather and Smell Amazing. I Love Myself😂😂😂
Ombre Leather is trash to me I don't understand the hype
@@boroughmanager7067 exactly! It's smells like a leather car seat
To each their own! I like it but don't love it.

Nice!

Lol be sexy later on 😂
