Me too man this made me so happy, not only to see he’s doing good but to be into these two separate niches is really a small world moment. Or maybe I’m overthinking it haha
Great video, great style, great taste. Thanks for giving us something different than the rest. Quick notes: I don't speak much French either, but Thé Noir is French for Black Tea AFAIK. The minimalist backbone/accord MFK created for BR540 consists of a balance of huge amounts of ethyl maltol (candy floss), ambroxan (synthetic ambergris), and evernyl (synthetic oakmoss), which together produce a dense radiant accord with a saffron-like note. And: I love Bentley Absolute. 👍
Althair is actually surprisingly good. Crazy compliments and performance. I was very anti-althair in 2023 but this year I am a huge fan. I ordered a full bottle for colder months.
That sums it up. I was very anti-Althair as well thought it was a basic vanilla but giving it a chance I realize it’s pretty great. It grew on me for sure.
OMG!! I can’t believe what I’m seeing here. Someone just like me. My poly addiction has more than one time transferred over into fragrances. My addiction to weed and variety of it has 100% transferred into fragrances. I don’t even think about the other stuff anymore. I remember you as CGkid helping me though the hardest times of my life. Years later, here we are on the same path. I’m proud of you and excited for more fragrance videos!
Since you’ve got a Dossier on here, I feel ok about sharing one to the list. Dossier Sunny Vetiver and Neroli is a really nice cheapie and is NOT a dupe! This is an original composition by the brand. My first fragrance purchase before opening up to spending real money on perfumes, and I still like and wear it!
Have you ever got your nose on the harmonist hypnotizing fire? Recently got a decant of the OG parfum and an inspired by and both smell amazing, going to be a fall go to for sure for me.
I never heard of it before this week when a NM employee asked me to try it. I was definitely impressed. I took a test strip home with me so I could continue smelling it. 🙂
It was called ‘Cg Kid’ I documented my recovery from drug addiction I ended up taking it down cause I needed to move on but there’s some interviews and content out there if you search the channel name
@CgScents Nice. I can see this channel taking off. You got great knowledge and very well spoken. Not afraid to keep it real. Also like how you have broken down olfactory perception, ties to scent memories, etc
Also just purchased Naxos (2024 batch, recent) and it is beast mode. +12h easily. Don't let the coloring fool you, it is yellow now but it gets darker by time as it oxcidates. It will be brown in 2 years.
You ever try TF, Vanille Fatale? Probably the best TF fragrance. IMO, I think Viking is more of a barbershop frag than Royal Oud/BDP. Spice & Wood is amazing, but weak performance. MFK, Grand Soir is the best MFK hands down. Great list.
Something that stuck out to me…Oud Wood. You mentioned soapy oud. I 100% get that and made a post the other day about how I felt it was clean and crisp in a different type of way and some folks were laughing. Sad to hear about poor performance, I’ve seen so many say that. My bottle gives me great performance, 8+ hours every wear.
Some great choices on here but a couple i think should be on this list are … louis vuitton -orage or montale - vetiver patchouli, chanel - sycomore or lalique - encre noir, nasomatto - pardon, le labo - vetiver 46, diptyque - tempo & guerlain - heritage.
I haven’t tried those yet I recently started sampling Pardon and it’s great. It oddly reminds me of jubilation 40 not really but kinda, it’s weird lol. I really want to try Vetiver 46 and Patchouli 24 le Labo is becoming my favorite house lately.
Just discovered you and yes, you are as awesome as they say. Did you ever try Patchouli Intense by Nicolai? It's maybe the most " beautiful ", flawlessly executed fragrance ever
@@adrianpocea2287 thank you man! I take notes of all recommendations and look into them. I’m adding this one to the list! Only thing I’ve tried from that house is New York intense and it’s great
@@theverdict4322 I love Ani I’m gonna wear althair some more because the reactions are insane. Hoping it grows on me but regardless I can say it hella performs and most people seem to love it that with the 125ml bottle it’s a beast!
I sampled jubilation and absolutely loved it but you’re right… I can’t go out wearing it and expect it to last for more then 4-6 hours MAYBE… that’s a strong maybe.
I really wanted to love Ani but I only like it. The vanilla and lemon is beautiful (the dry down is heavenly and beast mode on my cloths even though it doesn’t smell like a beast when I wear it). However I just can’t get over the menthol/vapo rub/ointment smell. I used to think that I couldn’t smell the cardamom at all, then one day I opened a packet of green cardamom pods in my kitchen - that’s when it hit me that the menthol smell is a very concentrated cardamom. I love cardamom - its one of my favourite spices to eat and smell. However, this medicinal vibe is not how I like cardamom - I more like the fresh cardamom in Gris Charnel. I layered Grand Soir with BDK Tabac Rose today and I was in heaven!
It’s interesting you say that because when I first smelled Ani and showed it to people myself and someone else got that medicinal vibe and were turned off as well. For some reason I don’t get that as much anymore but the person I showed it to couldn’t get past it at all.
Holy crap we hit on just about all of those. The only one you mentioned that I’ve never owned or smelled is Bentley Absolute. Get on some Fougre and let me know the ones you recommend I have a handful but would like a few more.
I’ll check them out haven’t heard of them. I have GPH I and Bentley Absolute they’re so similar. Bentley is a bit ‘dirtier’ with a western interpretation of Oud GPH I is smoother. They’re equally good and very close just slightly different aims. I only keep my GPH I as a collectors item at this point I wear it on rare occasions.
FragranceBuy's clone line FOMO recently released a Gucci Envy clone called The Envy of Fomo (terrible name i know) but it is VERY close to Envy and lasts way longer! My bottle needed to be sprayed a few times and left for a week to sit because it was way too animalic at first but it settled down dramatically after some sitting & is amazing now.
@@CgScents While you're at it, try FOMO Gary's Den, which is a clone of Dior Homme Parfum. I own both, and I like the FOMO a bit more than the original. Crazy, considering the price.
Jubilation has 1904 ratings on Parfumo saying that the performance is 8.1, equaling Sauvage EDP which performs solid 8 hours. I mean, are you in that small pile of people that rated it 5 or something? Is yours real? Amazing video btw, and I respect your own unfiltered opinions especially regarding the scent profiles, which is a highly subjective topic.
I’m positive my bottle is real. I don’t understand those ratings 😅 maybe it’s my skin chemistry or I go nose blind super fast. Frustrating whatever it is,
@@CgScents sometimes when I think a fragrance is really bad but most have said its good I usually need to spray once on my arm furthest point from nose but not wrist (bc gonna wash my hands) and see for how long i can smell it at an about 3 inch distance (cos if i need to stick my nose to it, then for me its a skin scent and basically gone.
It’s a 30ml and AllbottlesUSA makes the highest quality atomizers. You do pay a bit of a premium but it’s as good as it gets. A lot better than what you’d get from Amazon. No issues.
while i feel CREED/PDM fall more into luxury designers than niche, glad to see some amouage, fredric malle, and le labo in a list where most influencers are pushing the same old stuff... eventually your journey may lead you to "real" niche though but thats when things tend to be more artistic than "oh this smells good" Cheers !!
Thank you man! I see what you’re saying I just publicly categorize niche as any brand that doesn’t produce designer products the grey areas get confusing because it’s left to opinion and a lot of people have different views. I would say that PDM has quite a few releases that are derivative of fragrances produced by designer brands on the market though (especially Percival and Godolphin). Some are mass appealing and feel uninspired. However, I also believe some of their releases are very original. I can’t find a Kalan, Carlisle, Pegasus Exclusif, Delina, etc or anything close to those at all in a Sephora. I also find them mass appealing but that’s not a bad thing and doesn’t take from the creativity IMO. All brands have their hits and flops but considering PDM has released 40 fragrances while a lot of other niche brands have over 100 easily their batting average is pretty high for producing artistic designs that win people over. Heck, Amouage King Blue and PDM Layton were actually influenced by the same perfumer (Hamid Merati-Kashani).
Damn he did Percival? 😅 clearly he can shift priorities pretty fast! King Blue is one of my favorites but such a polarizing scent from that to percival is so crazy to me.
I think PDM releases some flat out clones combined with their hiring of TH-camrs has hurt their brand. They get too much hype that with the few rip offs they have are something I try to see past but it’s a hinderance.
@@CgScents i have a lot of their stuff Kalan , Haltane, Carlisle are def the only ones to me worth keeping (subjective i know) I like galloway but its kinda basic... And i'd agree the big market push has got them much more $$$ but if it's good you shouldnt have to push it! I really want to get my hands on king blue, I just bought two orto parisi's so im on a no buy for a bit haha!
@@SpenCer-cx1tp I agree I can’t understand why my brain makes that connection it’s a weird one I never heard about but you’re right African leather is quite different
I’d get Torino 22 if money wasn’t an issue. It’s more versatile Haltane is pretty rigidly for cold weather and Torino 22 smells more ‘dense’ and well made IMO. For value I’d get Haltane you get 125ml for the same price as like 50ml of T22. It sort of depends on where you live as well and how often it’s cold. I’m in Texas so 10ml of Haltane will last me years lol. I went with Haltane but have my eye on T22.
For me jubilation xxv I like the profile more. Neither really perform well for me jubilation 40 last longer but the projection isn’t as good. I just carry a travel atomizer of XXV to reapply. Some think the 40 smells better but I don’t.
@@ScentsIRL I don’t have as much experience with Argos I know they’re worth trying I wasn’t a big fan of triumph of Bacchus it was too sweet that was the only one I’ve given a real chance
My collection (80 bottles) is overwhelmingly niche for spring/summer, but designer for fall/winter. To me, the gap between niche and designer is much wider for warm weather vs cold weather. Also, I am becoming more and more anti-clone. Honestly, I cannot understand the fascination with them, by people who care the most about perfumery.
We all have different opinions on different fragrances, but i think the vast majority of people who have bought ATH fragrances are more than happy with their purchases. Ive only smelled Guapo, and like the majority I thought it was a great fragrance, and a compliment getter
@@CgScents al haramain is a good option and very good price compare to amberoud, but the quality and performance of amber oud is even equal or better than Layton itself.. when you get a chance, try it..
@@kamranscent😂 its amber oud exclusif blu for US, for Europe is Orientica and both of those are subbrands of Al Haramain and no amber oud is a twist on layton

I recently blind bought Bogart Pour Homme so for the people who don´t want to spend such an amount of money for Naxos I strongly recommend to start with Bogart just to get that DNA.
Your background/room is interesting....a bit like you and your honey-lamb (lovely pregnant wife) are holed-up in a clandestine environment like the Bonnie & Clyde of fragrance reviewers. It's always neat. Much neater....(I'm sure)...than B&C. Q: What's the light source (jagged-shape brightness) on the left? I'm sure I'm not the only one of your loyal followers who'd like to know. PS: Would like like a Table Lamp? (((🐧)))
Thank you man! She read this comment and said it boosted her self-esteem. She takes a lot of pride in keeping the room together and the aesthetic. The light is a series of nanoleaf panels. They’re pretty interesting lights to check out. Kind of like the legos of lights lol. They create a really nice soft ambience because of their size and how they’re against the wall.

no way this is the same guy who used to talk about all different drugs
what channel?
You remind me of someone, idk who but someone 🤣
I recently blind bought Bogart Pour Homme so for the people who don´t want to spend such an amount of money for Naxos I strongly recommend to start with Bogart just to get that DNA.
Your background/room is interesting....a bit like you and your honey-lamb (lovely pregnant wife) are holed-up in a clandestine environment like the Bonnie & Clyde of fragrance reviewers. It's always neat. Much neater....(I'm sure)...than B&C. Q: What's the light source (jagged-shape brightness) on the left? I'm sure I'm not the only one of your loyal followers who'd like to know. PS: Would like like a Table Lamp? (((🐧)))
Thank you man! She read this comment and said it boosted her self-esteem. She takes a lot of pride in keeping the room together and the aesthetic.
The light is a series of nanoleaf panels. They’re pretty interesting lights to check out. Kind of like the legos of lights lol. They create a really nice soft ambience because of their size and how they’re against the wall.
