I just got my Boss Bottled Absolu today!!!! Man I absolutely love this colonge!!! It is the best in my collection. Perfect for 45 year old man. Thank you for making this video!!!
I agree with you about Polo 67, such an incredible release, first time I wore it I wasn’t expecting much of it and it was fantastic, I was really impressed with the performance as well. It’s nothing groundbreaking but yet it’s not boring at all.
Thr opening is incredible, but it's the Aventus style dry down that kinda stops me from buying a full bottle. I'm told that it is closer to Aventus Cologne which I haven't tried so which makes more sense based on the note breakdown
I got a decant of Boss Bottled Absolu coming in today from DecantX and after falling in love with Elixir, I am SO excited to smell it for the first time.
I don’t know why, but Boss Absolu’s mysterious and complex smell takes me back in time, there is something in that smell that takes me back when I was a child, I don’t know what exactly that;s the thing, but what a nice feeling… And cause I know you are a gamer of excellent taste too, let me tell you it kinda reminds me of a quote from the game we share a lots of love for: “A scattered dream that's like a far-off memory. A far-off memory that's like a scattered dream. I want to line the pieces up.” Thank you for your content mate.
Chad thank you so much for this LIST, 2024 was really a wonderful year for fragrances. MONT BLANC LEGEND BLUE, YSL MYSELF and of course JPG & Hugo BOSS releases were all amazing. I wish you and all your viewers a MERRY CHRISTMAS. 👍💪👍
Yeah i agree. There were some fantastic releases that will go down as my favorites. Thank you so much Daniel, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!!
A good friend of mine loves the Hugo Boss fragrances and have been using only one of them for years. I told him a few days ago to check out the newest variants - and here you mentioned two that I will tell him to try to smell. "Hugo Boss the Scent Elixir" and "Hugo Boss Bottled Absolu" (I was going to make a big deal about you made a writing error in the description, and the actual spelling is "Absolute" - but I was wrong... Argh....). Happy Holidays Chadster and everyone reading this !
Happy holidays Peer always good hearing from you. There are two versions of confusion flanker names that are different. Boss Absolute and Boss Absolu. Never actually tried the Absolute however!
The Smoky mountains has the highest tree diversity on earth while South America has the highest plant diversity. Walking through the high country in the Smokys in October the range and scent profiles of that forest is intoxicating. Combined with the smells of different mints and the falling leaves from the trees falling and fermenting is special. Meanwhile the sap from the trees as the temps are lowering permeates the air. All those different rich tree sap amber profiles. ITS JUST HEAVEN! I so much want to recreate this scent profile. So I bought oils that I think combined in skin lotion can get somewhat close to this to add to my cologne. Merry Christmas.
Got stucked with Scent Elixir and Absolu at Sephora, as expected top 2 best release of the year. I ended up buying Boss Bottled Absolu and yeah you're right, it is not for everyone but most of the people I know liked it. Will try to buy Scent Elixir on Boxing Day if they have a good deal but for me, my all time favorite Hugo Boss is Hugo Boss Intense EDP. 😊
@ChadSecrets just got the Hugo Boss The Scent Elixir today. Got a good Boxing Day Deal @ Sephora and just what you said on your vlog, a head turner and compliment getter. Now I got your #1 and #2 and I'm so happy 😊
Boss bottled absolu is an absolute banger.... NEVER smelled a fragrance this good. Really hope they will do another perfect fragrance next year 🤞 10/10 fragrance for me 💯
Polo 67 is incredible. I sampled HBB Absolu but didn’t love it on the test strip…initially, but thought it was amazing after the drydown kicked in a bit. Opted to go with my other tester, Versace Eros EDP in stead. Either one, even though very different, is very good in its own way
How did Joop! not make this list?! J/k… I don’t usually buy designers, but I got my eye on that Boss Bottled Absolu. Wishing you a festival holiday Chad!
I thought this video was sponsored by Hugo Boss. Just kidding brother. I'm convinced Hugo Boss Bottled Absolu is the best this year. And I haven't smelt it yet. Cheers to your growth! Been binging all your content since I'm dropping by the Duty Free shops these holidays.
Lol. I wouldn't doubt that some would think that. Please keep me updated once you get to smell it and let me know your thoughts! Thanks for watching my videos 😁
I don't own anything from this year but watched and upvoted anyway because they will still smell nice in 2025. Could you recommend a fragrance appropriate for Vancouver? Hopefully something versatile that can be worn in the day to ward off pan handling junkies but also makes a pint affordable during the evening. Oh, and it needs to be waterproof, we got rain into next year. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! :D
Haha i love that. You could go with something like Missoni Wave. Its a very affordable daily driver fragrance thats also able to stand out very well when sprayed heavier. If you already tried that let me know i can think of more 👌
I belive You are one of the genuine person doing this with out any fragrance company influence. i was following some other fragrance influencers in last 7 yesrs but nowdays i feel they just hyped particular company . .. cant complain Be you as if bro . Great review
Thank you for watching. I started this channel to find out exactly that. Whats worth the hype and whats not. I would never be paid to hype. Thanks for watching my channel!
YSL Y Elixir has grown on me but they should’ve marketed it as “aquatic leather”. My favorite designer release this year is Prada LR Ocean Le Parfum. There’s nostalgic McBling era scent that it has and I appreciate it as a millennial. 😂
I still need to get that one. I may have been noseblind but when i tested in store i barely smelt it so just passed right by it. Ill pick it up here soon 👌
Another amazing video, Chad! Thanks for sharing with us! Wish you a Happy Christmas, mate! May Jesus be the centre of your family! Much love and Cheers from Brazil!
Hey guys i need a daily cologne. Do you have an advice. I have d&g one edp. Spicebomb extreme, invictus victory elixir. I have fall winter evening type of colognes and i need daily colognes. I like invictus, eros flame, versace dylan blue. But dont know which one is better to go. Edit: i m not a fan of marine notes. And cant smell jpg scandal edp and narciso blue noir edp.
I think Bottled Absolu is the best designer of this year. Granted, my opinion is irrelevant for this cuz this year has been me mainly catching up with decants of older fragrances. I haven't tested the Society Extreme or Phantasm yet and barely got thru my first wearing of Scandal Absolu. And I have my eyes set on decants of the Guerlain parfums 😢
Why Chad is so good looking? Because he's a chad😅. j/k, been following the channel since the beginning of my frag head journey. Keep going strong in 2025 Chad🎉
Montblanc Explorer is a banger for affordable boss like scent profile. If your workplace is more harsh on fragrances however use something like Legend Blue or Versace pour homme. Very inoffensive
Rubbish opinions about Energy... if smtn is gud it jus is, and if it call engery why would it smell like that played out boring eros DNA i was over that... there should never be more than one of those 😂😂😂 eros energy should have been the 3 with flame being the second and EDP being the 1st
These fragrances are in my opinion, but please let me know YOUR favorite releases in 2024. Love you all ❤
I just got my Boss Bottled Absolu today!!!! Man I absolutely love this colonge!!! It is the best in my collection. Perfect for 45 year old man. Thank you for making this video!!!
Makes me very happy to hear you like it. Enjoy it!!
I sampled PDM's 'Carlilse', 'Layton' (among others) this past week - BOSS 'Absolu' beats all of them (@ 1/3 the price).
I agree with you about Polo 67, such an incredible release, first time I wore it I wasn’t expecting much of it and it was fantastic, I was really impressed with the performance as well. It’s nothing groundbreaking but yet it’s not boring at all.
Yeah thats what i love about it. So easy to reach for!
Got myself a decant of Boss Bottled Absolu, and whilst i'm only 20, something about that fragrance makes me smell powerful and i love it so much
Thats great then! Wear it with confidence. Thats what really matters
I am using Versace Eros energy, got bunch of compliments it's a citrus bomb and I am just loving it.
The opening is fantastic
I honestly don’t think it smells like CVC
Thr opening is incredible, but it's the Aventus style dry down that kinda stops me from buying a full bottle. I'm told that it is closer to Aventus Cologne which I haven't tried so which makes more sense based on the note breakdown

That opening line always makes me have chills knowing the journey that is about to unfold. And the opening music 👌👌

Im very excited to see what they do next!
I enjoy 67 but Ralph’s Club Elixir is my fav and signature scent for cool weather!
Its also amazing. I wore that last night actually
Nice haircut/style bro might have to try out the givenchy extreme because of you
Let me know if you try it. And thank you 😁
Polo 67 is incredible. I sampled HBB Absolu but didn’t love it on the test strip…initially, but thought it was amazing after the drydown kicked in a bit. Opted to go with my other tester, Versace Eros EDP in stead. Either one, even though very different, is very good in its own way
I have been wearing it even in winter now because it's so easy to wear
How did Joop! not make this list?! J/k… I don’t usually buy designers, but I got my eye on that Boss Bottled Absolu. Wishing you a festival holiday Chad!
Haha it should have made the list for sure! The Boss Absolu is fantastic.
Thank you. im wishing you a happy holiday as well!
Keep it up Chad! Merry Christmas and here’s to an awesome New Year!
Hope you have a great new year as well. Thank you!!
Polo 67 is my favorite of the year! It lasts forever on clothes as well
Its such an easy reach! Very good
Bro unironically looks like Superman 🤣
Haha thank you 😁
He should get into acting… or be the the spokes model for HUGO BOSS. 🤣🤣🤣
@blackerdays 💀💀💀💀💀frfr lol
More like a mixture of Elon Musk and Superman
Lol, true
Hello 👋 gorgeous, it's getting close to Christmas. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
I am very excited for Christmas. I hope you have a great weekend as well Dylan. Thank you!
Legend blue from montblanc and Hugo boss absolute are bangers and a must have peeps
@@servemdee6636 They are fantastic 👏
Man you are the best #1

Excellent selection! 🔥
Great roundup of 2024!
I really like Polo 67. I wear it to work pretty regularly. And I've gotten a lot of female compliments.
I don't own anything from this year but watched and upvoted anyway because they will still smell nice in 2025. Could you recommend a fragrance appropriate for Vancouver?

If you already tried that let me know i can think of more 👌
Ysl myself le parfum for sure one of my fav this year with Micheal kors pour Homme
I need to get that Michael Kors!!
@ it gets me compliments anytime I wear it and lowkey underrated
For the Hugo boss bottled absolu ? For what age range would you say .
Thanks
25 plus i would say like it more but honestly any age
Boss guys are killing it, it's my favorite house right now.
I completely agree 👌
can you please do one for the middle eastern releases of 2024? top 10/20 maybe
I didnt get too many this year so i wont be able to do that on time. Ill cover a lot more middle eastern fragrances next year though!
thankyou so much Hugo 👍👍
Hello my friend how you been? How’s everything?👍👍
Everything is going good here! Very cold out in Canada right now however. Hope you are doing great. Happy holidays!
Agree with the list!
Btw should you consider buying ysl myslf le parfum if you have myslf Edp?
Are they different enough
Honestly it would be a bit redundant to own both
@ thank you!
Chanel Allure Homme Sport Superleggera was my favourite along with Guerlain L'homme Ideal Parfum
I will be adding all the new Guerlains very soon. Hard to go wrong with them!
I belive You are one of the genuine person doing this with out any fragrance company influence. i was following some other fragrance influencers in last 7 yesrs but nowdays i feel they just hyped particular company . .. cant complain
Be you as if bro . Great review

Everything you said thus review is one hundred percent correct 👍🏿 i must the best perfume of the year should go to Hugo boss bottled absolute …
Thank you for watching. I agree that Hugo Boss is just fantastic
You didn't see the new Azzaro wanted, give it a whiff and I'll be looking forward to that video
I have it but it didnt really impress me too much. I have a first impression short video though!
Another amazing video, Chad! Thanks for sharing with us!
Wish you a Happy Christmas, mate! May Jesus be the centre of your family!
Much love and Cheers from Brazil!
Merry Christmas Eduardo. Thank you for yhe kind words, and thank you for watching!
Nicely done
Can you review just azraq as a clone of invictus elixir?
I'll look into it, yeah. I hope it's slightly different. i love the twists!
My top 5 for 2024 would be:
🥇Boss Bottled Absolu
🥈Armani Code EDP
🥉JPG Le Beau Paradise Garden
4 L’Homme Ideal Parfum
5 Habit Rouge Parfum
I really wish i got more of the Guerlains. Ill pick them all up next year, they never miss!
Ideal parfum is greatt
Chanel Superleggera is the #1 for me 👌🏻
I wish it wasnt a limited edition. Never got to try it!
Polo 67 best release of the year?
3rd best for me
Little off topic but what kinda moisturizer are you using?
Jojoba oil or the ordinary moisturizer. I get it at sephora 🔥
Is Torino 21 any good, looking to buy a niche freshy
Honestly, i dont have enough experience with it to say for sure.
See if you can sample PDM Greenley i love that one
@ oh not a fan, quite pricey too. I can pick up a 50 ml for 100 £ of Torino. Although I do like sedley
Hey guys i need a daily cologne. Do you have an advice. I have d&g one edp. Spicebomb extreme, invictus victory elixir. I have fall winter evening type of colognes and i need daily colognes.
I like invictus, eros flame, versace dylan blue. But dont know which one is better to go.
Edit: i m not a fan of marine notes. And cant smell jpg scandal edp and narciso blue noir edp.
I think Bottled Absolu is the best designer of this year. Granted, my opinion is irrelevant for this cuz this year has been me mainly catching up with decants of older fragrances. I haven't tested the Society Extreme or Phantasm yet and barely got thru my first wearing of Scandal Absolu. And I have my eyes set on decants of the Guerlain parfums 😢
1. Ysl y EDP
2. Versace eros flame EDP
3. Versace Dylan blue
4. Ck one gold
5. Latafa khamrah
Carolina Herrera Cobalt is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The honorable mentions knock the rest of the list out of orbit.
Okay!
Polo 67 is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Going into 2025 broke from buying 2023 releases
Hopeful I’ll get into 2026 rich and with all of 2024’s Hugo Boss releases
Hah, definitely dont do that to yourself, but let's hope we are both rich in 2026 either way!
Hugo Boss The Scent Elixir is amazing
Why Chad is so good looking? Because he's a chad😅.
j/k, been following the channel since the beginning of my frag head journey. Keep going strong in 2025 Chad🎉
Haha thank you for the compliment. And thank you for watching my videos, means a lot to me!
I really liked invictus parfum
Its pretty good!
bro make a video on Dunhill arabian desert please
Spice bomb dark leather is amazing but does not last at all... the original edt lasts much more..
Thats fair enough
polo 67🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love it
Do a le male le parfum clone vid
Okay i can do that
The only good release of this year is Le Sel D'Issey, imo. A great salty marine gingery and longlasting fragrance.
Tell me a work place fragrance in a budget
Versace Pour Homme
Montblanc Explorer is a banger for affordable boss like scent profile. If your workplace is more harsh on fragrances however use something like Legend Blue or Versace pour homme. Very inoffensive
@@ChadSecrets thanks a lot really like your content
I love eros energy
Eros energy is lemon pledge!
MYSLF Le Parfum being an improvement over the original isn't saying much, hahha :D
Haha true
BB absolu smells a lot like Layton to me.
Thats fair
I am a bit sad most of new releases are flankers nowadays, even if they are nothing similar to the original.
the eros one is just absurd
Yeah i agree it gets very annoying
Hey, how did you get sponsored by Hugo Boss? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol they should pay me!
Absolutely! I hope they come to their senses soon! 😄
Eros Energy is 10/10. Fight me.
2024 Best list on Fragrantica is dominated by 2023 releases, it wasnt a great year for new additions.
Yeah thats true. There are a lot of good fragrances this year but also some big disappointments
Whatta Chad
Ehh. My parents named me right!
Oh noooooooooo
The road to madness for good fragrance TH-camr starts and ends with a spin welcome/goodbye
Haha oh no!! 🤣🤣
Title of the video doesn't match the content..its really opposite...
How so, because you dont agree with the list?
@ChadSecrets not really
fairly disappointing year for designers
I thought there were a lot of good ones!
Yes, but boss low-key cooked this year
Rubbish opinions about Energy... if smtn is gud it jus is, and if it call engery why would it smell like that played out boring eros DNA i was over that... there should never be more than one of those 😂😂😂 eros energy should have been the 3 with flame being the second and EDP being the 1st
It isnt an eros fragrance if they change the dna to copy something. Thats a money play
Hugo Boss cancelled you’re master Instagram account 😞
Haha Dimitri vin Swedenburg
@@ChadSecretsvin … vehicle identification number
Omg…MYSLF Le Parfum smells NOTHING like Athair
I said kind of in that style.. Vanilla, Orange blossom and spice. Thats what both these are based on. Please re listen
