When I’m buying a new fragrance my first thoughts are 1. What’s the vibe or setting I’ll be using it in 2. How do I feel when I am wearing it Longevity almost never plays a factor when buying a fragrance. I usually steer away from “beast mode” fragrances. I would rather be discovered than announced.
I've layered the Allure with Armani Code and the compliments were crazy. The ladies love it. But you can't go wrong with Givenchy Gentlemen, that is top tier.
Monica excellent video! I know and everybody knows you love fresh fragrances. But how about your top 10 animalic “Dirty” fragrances in your collection? It would be interesting for us to hear you describe classic animalic notes in modern fragrances. We know you love Musc Ravagour. How about 9 more “Dirty” flavours?
I've been to nearly 8 perfume/cologne shops in the past month and no one has Stronger with you Absolutely....i did end up buying the Intensely causenit smelled great. Review like this will make me check another 10 stores for Absolutely.
Video for Arabian Brands would be great ! My favorite designers : Luna Rossa Black , Dior Homme Intense, Givenchy play intense (there is a rojas that is very similar) and Givenchy Insense Ultramarine
I don't know about Arabian brands. I'd love to hear you talk about more of the Designer Private Collections. Almost no one on TH-cam talks about them (except for maybe the YSL line like Tuxedo and BabyCat). In the past nine months I have bought Hermes Ambre Narguile, Cartier Oud & Ambre, Chanel Coromandel, and YSL Tuxedo Tuxedo and that's with most of those getting little to no attention. I'd be nice to hear more about the Armani Private Line. Dior Private line. Chanel etc.
Never really thought about the criteria I use when purchasing a fragrance. I guess it’s just down to fragrance critics like yourself and others along with do I like the smell of a certain fragrance that are the bases I use when purchasing a fragrance. I believe it was you Monica that talked about Terra D’hermes awhile back which I found recently at a fragrance shop at the Texas airport while traveling. Together with your endorsement and liking the fragrance when I smelled it I purchased it. Yea, I guess that’s it, just if a fragrance is highly recommended by someone and if I like it. As we move into cooler temperatures I’m looking forward to wearing Stronger with You Absolutely. Chanel allure Homme sport is awesome! I wear it all the time. I love the minty note. Guerlian goes great with my leather jacket!
I tried a sample of Prada Black yesterday and it was a disappointment . I just get a basic baby powder, vanilla smell. Glad I didn't pay for a bigger bottle
I agree I don’t love it. It’s ok. I never spray it on my chest or base of the neck. One on each side of neck one behind the neck. I wore it three maybe 4 times last fall and winter.. but every time I wore it I got compliments. My wife loves it too
The most wanted parfum and Wanted by night are better and cheaper than Stronger with You Absolut.. Prada black I would switch it for Prada L'homme easy or Gisada Ambassador Intense
Do you know by any chance if this fragrance has been reformulated? I've recently read somewhere the newer batches are a bit watered down, lacking even more in performance (what was already an issue in this fragrance).
The Parfum is more Iris, the Intense is more "chocolatey". Both are nice. I'd say the Parfum is more for dressy occasion, where the Intense is a bit more versatile for every day wear. Depends what you like. I prefer the Parfum just because I love the scent profile more.
That's funny. I have almost 100 fragrances in my collection so I've smelled a few in my life. I don't own Dior homme Parfum but I've tried it a few times mostly at the airports duty free (last time yesterday flying from Warsaw to London and I sprayed 15-20 times) and for me it's just nothing special, sorry.
Absolute Stellar Collection Monika ❤ Dior Homme Parfum 🔥 In My Humble Opinion Best Designer EVER !!! Same goes for Chanel Blue 💙 But I Prefer Parfum 🔥 It's Like My Summer Champion 🏆 And of course the best hidden gems must be Cartier Declaration Parfum 🔥 Such A Great Gentlemans Fragrance With Amazing Depth & Performance 👑 Kings FraG 👑 I'm supper curious about LOEWE ❤
If DIOR HOMME PARFUM (2011-2017) is a winning recipe, why do they discontinue that flavour, it doesn't make good business sense to me. Thankfully the DIOR HOMME INTENSE is similar enough to let it go. Now I see the older DIOR HOMME PARFUM is being sold for close to $1,000, is there a share market in fragrance?
Obviously longevity and sillage are crucial. Otherwise why wasting money? In the other hand, Monika's sensuality and classiness makes you desire anything, even armpit sweat in a bottle.
5:51 A woman was angry at me and didn't want to talk to me again. Then I walked by her while wearing JPG Le Male Le Parfum and suddenly everything was oké again. And more. 🤓 Could be a coincidence, but still... 😎
Being an older gentleman I must admit that I prefer the older type of fragrances and not necessarily the “ blues “ they have been done to death . Although longevity is important I alway carry a decant spray so I would say projection and sillage top my list . My favorite compliment of all time was when someone said that when I come into a place the whole place smells great . Admittedly, I’m the only one that wears a fragrance religiously.
There are tens of much nicer smelling fragrances than those two G's ! Funny how YT influencers promote fragrances that smell badly and nobody really cares about ! But, at least no Dior Sauvage Elixir on this list !

Do you still do comment cologne reviews?
Prada black is my all time favorite got a lot compliments when I wear it a masterpiece of a fragrance
Isn't it a feint smell though? I hear this alot, only reason I've avoided a purchase.
Your descriptions are just so beautiful and perfectly worded, it makes me want to buy them all! 🤑
Declaration Parfum and Prada Black are 10/10 masterpieces that deserve all the hype.
For Prada black how do you feel about the longetivity?
Prada black is to me almost a direct clone of John varvatos artisan black. Haven’t seen it on the shelves in years though.
When I’m buying a new fragrance my first thoughts are
1. What’s the vibe or setting I’ll be using it in
2. How do I feel when I am wearing it
Longevity almost never plays a factor when buying a fragrance. I usually steer away from “beast mode” fragrances. I would rather be discovered than announced.
your last sentence is just perfection
Prada Black is indeed perfect ❤️🔥
I've layered the Allure with Armani Code and the compliments were crazy. The ladies love it. But you can't go wrong with Givenchy Gentlemen, that is top tier.
which Armani code?
@riyad5749 parfum
I have tried the Prada Black twice and after 2 hours it just smells like powder to me?
Yep. Powder, and some men think it’s a “masterpiece” lol.
Monica excellent video! I know and everybody knows you love fresh fragrances. But how about your top 10 animalic “Dirty” fragrances in your collection? It would be interesting for us to hear you describe classic animalic notes in modern fragrances. We know you love Musc Ravagour. How about 9 more “Dirty” flavours?
Sport is a monster. Women love it. Honestly, I feel Blue is often imitaded, never duplicated.
Dior Homme Parfum is an excellent choice for #1. Great content on this channel.
YSL Y Le Parfum is my guy. It’s mysterious like Luna Rossa Black but more extroverted. It’s the perfect Fall scent IMO.
You have such a good taste in fragrances, Monika!
Only the best! Fair play to you! ❤
Absolutely fantastic! Great list, Monika!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
*Hello MONIKA! Love these fragrances!! CAN YOU REVIEW HAWAS BLACK? Let me know what you think of it? Your opinion is so much appreciated. THANK YOU!*
I've been to nearly 8 perfume/cologne shops in the past month and no one has Stronger with you Absolutely....i did end up buying the Intensely causenit smelled great. Review like this will make me check another 10 stores for Absolutely.
Video for Arabian Brands would be great ! My favorite designers : Luna Rossa Black , Dior Homme Intense, Givenchy play intense (there is a rojas that is very similar) and Givenchy Insense Ultramarine
Prada black smells good but I don’t get very good performance from it.
I just ordered Prada black! But I love GIVENCHY GENTLEMAN Boise the best.
Another great list Moni.
cartier declaration parfum one of my favorite and I'm still using
Givenchy Gentleman, Terre D' Hermes, Creed Green Irish Tweed, PDM Sedley
If I could bottle the tone of your voice Monika then I would wear it every day 😊
I don't know about Arabian brands. I'd love to hear you talk about more of the Designer Private Collections. Almost no one on TH-cam talks about them (except for maybe the YSL line like Tuxedo and BabyCat).

It’s extremely overhyped
Same choices as Chaos fragrances. Almost exactly 😂. Love them all.
May not get as much compliments with the Prada black because it does not project. But it smells amazing. The best for date nights.
Versace Eros has a new one called Energy. It comes in a clear bottle with green juice. Let me know what you think?.
I'm pretty sure my bottle of Cartier Decleration my beautiful girlfriend gifted me many years ago had a gold coloured sprayer!
Hi could you please review the phlur strawberry letter perfume or the whole phlur collection maybe ? Thanks!
The most wanted parfum and Wanted by night are better and cheaper than Stronger with You Absolut.. Prada black I would switch it for Prada L'homme easy or Gisada Ambassador Intense
i will try them all
I was rather underwhelmed with Bleu De Chanel EDP…not saying its bad I was just expecting more
Do you know by any chance if this fragrance has been reformulated? I've recently read somewhere the newer batches are a bit watered down, lacking even more in performance (what was already an issue in this fragrance).
Do you have a list of best fragrances that sit close to skin? Often I like to smell nice but not be too loud.
Prada black
What a list!!
Prada doesnt go well on my skin, its sad because I love the DNA.
Declaration, Ideal Parfum are perfect.
Great list
What is better Dior Homme Intense or Parfum? Thank you!..
The Parfum is more Iris, the Intense is more "chocolatey". Both are nice. I'd say the Parfum is more for dressy occasion, where the Intense is a bit more versatile for every day wear. Depends what you like. I prefer the Parfum just because I love the scent profile more.
FINALLY, LOEWE MAKING ITS WAY ON THE LIST!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love Loewe!!!
Would love to see your review on ajmal perfumes
Do you know if they will re-release Dior Homme Parfum on the US Dior website?
Arabian fragrance content would be great 🔥
YSL Pour Homme & Terre D Hermes
Dior Homme Parfum is one of a kind! It's a stunning fragrance.. dark, iris, leather, chocolate.. Masterpiece!
In my Humble opinion DHP is the Best fragance ever made. and i have some niches in my colection.
That's funny. I have almost 100 fragrances in my collection so I've smelled a few in my life. I don't own Dior homme Parfum but I've tried it a few times mostly at the airports duty free (last time yesterday flying from Warsaw to London and I sprayed 15-20 times) and for me it's just nothing special, sorry.
@@maciejjirowec331515-20 sprays of DHP? Did they make an emergency landing due to suffocation on the plane? 😮
@@maciejjirowec3315 suggest few masculine fragrances plz ... For office and casual nights..
Is the stronger with you similar to The One EDP by dolce gabbana
You should try Loewe Essentia Elixir. Much better then Edp
dior homme parfum or dior homme intense? which one should I pick?
intense
intense is more wearable
Intense used to be my number 1, after Parfum 😂😂😂 Parfum is another Ball game.
Intense is more wearable. The parfum is not versatile but a masterpiece
@@kostasp1137 i dont care 😂😂😂
something in givenchy gentleman privee is just not good for me, have to pass on that one

Fun drinking game, take a shot every time she says perfect😋😄
Can you review Smoking Hot by Killian?
5:51 A woman was angry at me and didn't want to talk to me again.
Then I walked by her while wearing JPG Le Male Le Parfum and suddenly everything was oké again.
And more. 🤓
Could be a coincidence, but still... 😎
Pricate you Ms. Monika "THUMBS UP"🥊🔔
It's not a list from Monika if you can't find BdC in it ; )
Well, Guerlain is Guerlain.
Prada Luna black is absolute perfection.. sexy Play-Doh
Try Bvlgari Pour Homme Soir... you'll thank me 😂
Dior homme reminds me of lipstick. Chanel bleu edp so dam good and swy absolutely. Bring it back why did they do this 😂
SWY absolutely is available all over online.
@R2sojr09 Awesome thank you I didn't know. Maybe it will come back to the stores as well
Being an older gentleman I must admit that I prefer the older type of fragrances and not necessarily the “ blues “ they have been done to death . Although longevity is important I alway carry a decant spray so I would say projection and sillage top my list . My favorite compliment of all time was when someone said that when I come into a place the whole place smells great . Admittedly, I’m the only one that wears a fragrance religiously.
Are most of the older fragrances still as good as they initially were?
My dad won over my mom with prada black and he still keeps the bottle even tho he used it all and now thay have two kids, me and my sister
Shouldn't the countdown be NO. 1 NO.2. Etc not NR 1 NR 2
NR stands for number in Polish not English
5:25 That how I roll in the country
Cute af
prada black is atrocious...i am still wondering how we can call it a perfume. What the hell is this thing?
😂💯
Nice💋
There are tens of much nicer smelling fragrances than those two G's ! Funny how YT influencers promote fragrances that smell badly and nobody really cares about ! But, at least no Dior Sauvage Elixir on this list !
But i use Chanel Platinum Egoiste hahahahahaah.
👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Let’s not forget the surprising best release of 2023 that I think belongs on this list: Gucci Guilty Elixir De Parfum. ❤
❤
I think you and Mathias deserve a PORSCHE 911 TURBO, go cruising, maybe smoke a bit of weed at the beach, or maybe not. Big Love New Zealand 🇳🇿 ✝️
my favorite is cash cash atracts every Bitc.... A full clip around 5K ... i NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. HAHAHAHAHAHA.
