Naxos is my go-to. A compliment magnet. It's top shelf. I think I paid 195.00 at Joma Shop for my last bottle, which is a great price for a sophisticated fragrance as Naxos is.
I recently discovered Silver Mountain Water by Creed, and I haven't stopped using it. On my skin, it lasts between 5-6 hours, but on clothes, it lasts an additional 12 hours. The next day, my clothes still smell of it
My best buy of 2023 was Zaharoff Coco Loco- what a beautiful fragrance, so likeable. I get so many compliments from it. It doesn’t get mentioned much but it’s definitely a stunning fragrance. Looking forward to testing it in the summer. Bought from yours truly Luxe Parfum 👍🏻 🤔 for your 100,000 sub party - it’d have be Initio Side Effect. Absolutely love it!
I have a few fragrances that are so good that I almost never wear them; I rarely have any occasions special enough to wear them! Thanks for the video, very informative!
Safari Extreme Excellent scent and solid projection all year long. I use to wear it daily but not as often now so I don't blow through it as fast as it is a 75ml bottle.
Dope concept. And love the list. My list has a few of the same pieces. I would say Nishane Papilefiko, Xerjoff Alexandria II, Tom Ford Black Orchid, Roja Burlington 1819, Roja Creation E (I’m in the states… also I only have the PC edition.) Profumum Roma Ambre Aurea, Creed Bois Du Portugal, MFK Oud Satin Mood. Xerjoff Pikovaya Dama I had to do a top 10. Couldn’t keep it to 8, My number 1 would be Royal Crown Al Kimiya. Everything else is in no order. Honorable mention would be Xerjoff KBridge Club
So before I say mine, let me say that I also own Eau Sauvage Parfum and I was excited to see it get mentioned. 100% agree. For mine, and I don't own them all yet but they're my holy grail in a way, is anything from the Guerlain Le Parisiens line. Aside from the smell, and they all smell fantastic, there's a bit of history with those that is also really cool. L'Âme d'Un Héros (Soul of a Hero) is often compared to another Guerlain release, Coriolan, but owning this one and getting to smell both of them side by side, I'd say that they're not the same at all. Also, it's really great to be able to say that and have had the experience to smell both. Still, mine has a healthy dent in it, so I wear it sparingly. Because of this video I am going to wear another from the line today, Arsene Lupin Voyou. It gets a little hate from some of the snobs, but it's fantastic. All of them are.
HALTANE 100%!!! I went to a special event a couple days ago in a dress shirt, sweatshirt, and trench coat layering combo as well as dress shoes. All i can say is that i felt like THE MAN!!🤴🏻if i wasn’t wearing something very elegant i wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much and like you said… it literally just matched my vibe, confidence, and everything else around it since it was cold and night time👌smells so luxurious and elegant.
A few of the most special in my collection are Oud Satin Mood Extrait, Gumus from January Scent Project, and ... Smoulder. Not kissing your arse...its just so dang good. As I've mentioned before, it was also my very first niche and to this day, there is just nothing else out there that smells remotely close to it.
I only very rarely wear suits but when i do i put on aventus cologne (not the only occasion i wesr this fragrance) and it just feels like it goes hand in hand. It fits so well to my blue suit and it just gives me confidence.
Such a great video idea Chris, if you invited Me to that 100,000 subscriber party I'd either go with Dolce and Gabbana The One Mysterious Night, Prada L'homme Intense, or Essential Parfums Bois Imperial
Floris 1962, discontinued so making my last bottle last! Armani Prive Bois d"Encens that I've worn since it's release 20 years ago. Way too good for everyday wear. This is reserved for cool autumn evenings in a beautiful European city.
You HAVE to do a super cheapies collection. Axe/oldspice/Bod body sprays. There's a commercial showing perfume critic's blindly comparing Niche fragrances to Axe and nearly all chose Axe as the more expensive scent.
Great video Chris! I love PDM Carlisle as well, one of my top 5 frags ever.. actually Layton exclusif is in my top 5 as well - both need to be a bit dressed up a I feel but so classy! Have a good Sunday evening
For me it's Xerjoffs Richwood and Amber Musk Set as Blonde Amber and X for Men from Clive Christian. If i'd be invited to anything special in the UK i'd probably go for Blonde Amber.
I think the fragrance that is the most special to me is the (very unfortunately discontinued) Vert d‘encens from Tom Ford. It was my first „expensive“ fragrance and I‘ve worn it to most of my special occasions ever since, my first holiday with my girlfriend, to her brother‘s wedding and to my graduation from medical school, it has a very special place in my heart and I’m terribly devastated it’s not available any more!
I feel the exact same way with some of my bottles. I don´t want to risk "getting used" to them. And whenever I do get to wear them, it´s something I look forward too - kind of a treat. Great video - cheers... Aaron Terrence Hughes - Tabac or TF - tobacco vanille are some of my favorites.
My favourite fragrances of all times: 3°) Bvlgari la gemme garanat 2°)valiant boadicea Victorious 1° )Mary O. - Sapientiae Niche (Best soapy fragrance in the world)
I know exactly where you’re coming from Chris. My 6 Bortnikoff’s Oud Maximus Oud Monarch Sir Winston Zemfira Sayat Nova Musk khabib Roja Diagilev Amber Oud Great Britain Xerjoff Alexandria 2 Naxos And finally Memo African Rose I’m almost to afraid to wear them sometimes because don’t want them to run out because won’t be buying them again bloody cost me a fortune but truly love each and every one of them . Haven’t even mentioned my Fragrance du Bois . Great vid Big Man
For me, it'd be Xerjoff Richwood, Tom Ford Tobacco Oud, Amouage R45, Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur & MFK Grand Soir, although I do wear them for ordinary days, too.
Nasomatto Pardon By Kilian Dark Lord Xerjoff Iommi Monkey Special Tom Ford Black Orchid Parfum Those are my babies. I admit i do wear Black Orchid often enough, but that's because its more affordable than the others.
I bought 2023 batch carlisle and Layton and I was so disappointed with longevity. Less than 5 hours for both on clothes. Sillage is rubbish after 3 hours. I would avoid PDM. They have increased their alcohol concentration to 81% and diluted the fragrance
Dior Sauvage elixir. I wore it before going to a pool party last summer, after doing some diving games and splash games after a couple women were trying to dunk my head in the water. While we were wrestling, one of them stopped and smelled my neck and then pulled back really fast looked at me almost frightened, and said what the heck why do you smell so good right now?!😂😂😂
Thanks for this video :) By the way did you ever try Atkinsons fragrances ? If not, you must try :) Atkinsons His Majesty The Oud it is just gorgeous in my opinion. Regards
If you invited me to your party i think i would try and wear something that i would believe you don't have in your collection. Something like Balint Parfums' Sun Embrace, Superz. - Morocco or Calaj - Transilvania 😏
MFK Grand Soir. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut... I wear Grand Soir often, as long as the temp is under 60 Fahrenheit. It's so good, and so special, that I wear it often and it never loses that charm. I'll wear it dressed up, I'll wear it dressed down. Office, Grand Soir. Meeting friends for dinner, Grand Soir. Going to bed, Grand Soir. Sitting around doing f**k all, Grand Soir. Minimum one wearing a week.
Actually welcome negativity in fragrance reviews. That’s one less bottle we have to add to our wishlist. Better than finding out after buying it at a premium.
Surely When your Getting Dressed And You've Finally Decided on the Scent you Want to Wear you Stop and Think WAIT !!! How many Sprays of this ? Rite This one is a 2 Sprayer 3 If you Really Really Want to Be Noticed 😂🤣🤬and Get those L👀KS Either Or 😂🤣
Portugal it's my country and when I smell bois du portugal it reminds me pine and you can find a lot of this trees in Portugal at the middle of the country, not in Algarve. But for me the best creed it's royal oud .
As soon as I saw your first pick I could see that you got this right. Can totally relate. How about discontinued fragrances that your love but don't dare to spray anymore?
I always turn to ROJA for special occasions. Christmas 2023 was Enigma, NYE/NYD was Burlington 1819. Valentine’s Day 2024 was Danger. Mr. Dove never lets me down.
Naxos is my go-to. A compliment magnet. It's top shelf. I think I paid 195.00 at Joma Shop for my last bottle, which is a great price for a sophisticated fragrance as Naxos is.
cherish that bottle! They unfortunately reformulated it.
Prada Lhomme intense the first one that came to mind. Extremely unique iris scent 🤩
Love it! I need a back up bottle!
I'm portuguese and I didn't even know there was a fragrance inspired by Portugal. I'll check it out. And you are always welcome here.
As a portuguese, i was so happy to hear speak so fondly of my country. You're very welcome to come back anytime to our little ocean corner :)
I’ll be back in May!
So glad you mentioned Carlisle, wore it to a wedding too and my god, the attention was something else! 100% another level!!!
11:50 ‘The consistency’ 😆😆😆
I recently discovered Silver Mountain Water by Creed, and I haven't stopped using it. On my skin, it lasts between 5-6 hours, but on clothes, it lasts an additional 12 hours. The next day, my clothes still smell of it
For me, it's Burlington 1819. I wear it way too much and I still adore it and never get bored of it ❤
Yes! Great choice 👌🏻
Armani Privé Rose d'Arabie. So magnificent. Too magnificent for the daily.
My best buy of 2023 was Zaharoff Coco Loco- what a beautiful fragrance, so likeable. I get so many compliments from it. It doesn’t get mentioned much but it’s definitely a stunning fragrance. Looking forward to testing it in the summer. Bought from yours truly Luxe Parfum 👍🏻

Those are two great Guerlain offerings!
@@SWTmel I unapologetically love Guerlain. They can do no wrong.
My special perfume is Ambré from Baldessarini. Only use it on Christmas Eve. It lift me up and is very cosy to me. Just love it.
Ohhhh.
Need a few more part 2,3,4,5,6,7 etc of this video. I want to go broke, adding them into my collection 😅
I love how you talk about fragrances.

What a great example of how a fragrance can elevate your style and enjoyment. Thanks for sharing!

As I've mentioned before, it was also my very first niche and to this day, there is just nothing else out there that smells remotely close to it.
Out of all these fragrances, the only one I’ve ever had my nose on, was Eau Sauvage. It is spectacular!
Wow, what a story on the Bois du Portugal! I have been to Lisbon for an Erasmus semester during my studies. It was simply amazing!
I only very rarely wear suits but when i do i put on aventus cologne (not the only occasion i wesr this fragrance) and it just feels like it goes hand in hand. It fits so well to my blue suit and it just gives me confidence.
Layton exclusif. Wore it to my job interview, I had the hiring manager asking what I was wearing
My special occasion frag is Lynx Africa - really gets the ladies excited
Dark Temptation 2 (a.k.a. Invictus Victory)
Can’t go wrong 👌🏻
In my collection Tom Ford f…fabulous and Clive Christian X-masculin are definitely scents for special situations.
Such a great video idea Chris, if you invited Me to that 100,000 subscriber party I'd either go with Dolce and Gabbana The One Mysterious Night, Prada L'homme Intense, or Essential Parfums Bois Imperial
Still one of the very best channels / presenters out there , thanks for continuing the graft/ content always worth a watch 👍
Floris 1962, discontinued so making my last bottle last!
Armani Prive Bois d"Encens that I've worn since it's release 20 years ago. Way too good for everyday wear. This is reserved for cool autumn evenings in a beautiful European city.
I would wear my precious bottle of Karl Lagerfeld Classic. So hard to find where I am, and I know no one else would wear it. Sweet Fresh Warm Floral.

I don't believe in saving the best for a special occasion. If it's the best I'm blowing through a bottle.
😂😂
Givenchy 111 Chris. Found a fresh vintage bottle and snapped it up. Mesmerising, changing, complexity of a vintage chypre
I just have one currently that is my special occasion / going out fragrance and it's Zaharoff Leather Tabac.
For me it's Xerjoffs Richwood and Amber Musk Set as Blonde Amber and X for Men from Clive Christian. If i'd be invited to anything special in the UK i'd probably go for Blonde Amber.
I still to this day haven't tried Naxos and I feel like i'm missing out. Need to get me a sample of it asap.

Thank you so much Chris, we love this! ❤❤❤
As was watching this video, Tobacco Oud came into mind and then you said it!
Lavender Extreme (TF), Royal Oud, Alexandria II, and 1 Million Privé are a few of my scents for special occasions.
For me, it'd be Xerjoff Richwood, Tom Ford Tobacco Oud, Amouage R45, Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur & MFK Grand Soir, although I do wear them for ordinary days, too.
it's hypnotizing fire by a mile...Just love it
Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum! Indeed it can work for casual, but I think its true element is formal situations. I'd happily wear that for your 100k party!
For me, Thameen Carved Oud is too good for everyday wear. I reserve it for formal and casual special occasions
5 frags for me would be...
Xerjoff richwood
Amouage jub xxv
Creed Royal oud
Pdm layton exclusif
Amouage overture man
PDM’s Hamdani and Byerley. Two of Marly’s most elegant scents.
Nishane NeFs is one that I need to dress up because it's just that good.
Nasomatto Pardon
By Kilian Dark Lord
Xerjoff Iommi Monkey Special
Tom Ford Black Orchid Parfum
Those are my babies. I admit i do wear Black Orchid often enough, but that's because its more affordable than the others.
Great List!! I will definitely wear Mamba from Stephane Humbert Lucas, you're almost there, thanks for the video Chris!!!
I need to smell this!
The ones I save are Xerjoff Naxos, Electimuss Vanilla Edesia and Amouage Interlude Black Iris. Recently added Soma Halcyon Oud to that list.
👏 👏 Naxos & Interlude Black Iris are so darn good! Rich, deep well blended.
I’d be wearing hacivat without a question
I bought 2023 batch carlisle and Layton and I was so disappointed with longevity. Less than 5 hours for both on clothes. Sillage is rubbish after 3 hours. I would avoid PDM. They have increased their alcohol concentration to 81% and diluted the fragrance
Wrong. I sprayed Layton and it’s still on my clothes. It’s been a week
If any moment might be our last, isn't everyday a special occasion? Chris, your birthday is "Special Occasion" too
Onyx extreme, Alexandria 11 & Black Phantom. Too good for everyday and enough per ml that I wouldn't want to waste them.
There are a select few discontinued fragrances that fit this description for me... but they're like "Fight Club"... 😂😉
😂👌🏻
I would wear roja pdln3, love that frag.
Tom Ford Oud Wood, Moncler Solstice Un Soufflé de santal irise, CH Men Prive, Dior Homme Parfum, Nasomatto Duro
I would wear Louis Vuitton Les Sable Roses or Amourage Jubilation 23
100k party frag would be Psychadeliqué Jovoy
Ganymede EDP
Wear whatever you like whenever I do
Dior Sauvage elixir. I wore it before going to a pool party last summer, after doing some diving games and splash games after a couple women were trying to dunk my head in the water.

Yes, Xerjoff Alexandria II, Starlight. These just from top of my head
voco tycoon extrait de parfum best evrey day perfume
Portrait of a Lady. A masterpiece, I’m not worthy! 😅
No Amouage Reflection 45? I'd probably wear X Masculine by Clive Christian to your 100K ✌🏽
Thanks for this video :) By the way did you ever try Atkinsons fragrances ? If not, you must try :) Atkinsons His Majesty The Oud it is just gorgeous in my opinion. Regards

Is the sillage for the new Naxos refomulation still good?
I don’t think I’ve tried a new formulation
Clive Christian no 1
MFK Grand Soir. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut... I wear Grand Soir often, as long as the temp is under 60 Fahrenheit. It's so good, and so special, that I wear it often and it never loses that charm.

1 Million Prive and Invictus Aqua '16 for me!
So if worn too often they don't make you feel special,as opposed to being able to make special a daily feeling...
I have had fragrances so good that I don't wear them and then they went bad 😢
For me it would be Roja Parfums Oligarch
