Apple Brandy is one of my favorites, if it had a bit of tobacco in the base it would be a 10/10 for me. Scent of paradise is wonderful as well. I prefer silver mountain water though, I like the "inky" metallic aspect to it
I always forget about Etruscan Water. I've been playing on trying it forever. Gardez sounds interesting, too. Wearing Pax today. I have that same lamp.
Gardez justifies my blindbuy from Mindgames. I just love it when a gamble pays off with that artistic black leather and popcorn notes/accords. Its impressive when a brand delivers on an idea.
I absolutely love both Salt & Pepper and Desir Toxic L'Intense, the latter even more so than the original; it was very cool seeing them both in this video! Apple Brandy on the Rocks (which I feel is often overlooked due to Angel Share's popularity) has been on my radar for far too long, and I definitely need to move it up the list. The only Nishane fragrances I've sampled are Hacivat and Ani, which I honestly enjoyed both, so Papilefiko is extra intriguing knowing the quality of Nishane's offerings. Another fantastic video with an awesome mix of suggested fragrances to try :)
I ordered a Carner from Maxaroma and they sent me 5 Precious Liquid samples. I'll be trying Salt & Pepper soon. I don't know if you've tried Gisada Ambassador Intense but it's a brilliant date scent.
Oh hell yeah, I love Francesca Bianchi! Glad to see her on this channel, I feel like her house doesn't get as much attention as it should. I haven't actually tried Etruscan Leather, but I've got a few samples, one of which lead me to insta-buy a bottle of "Under My Skin." It's... it's something else. Like the most elegant Iris in a BDSM club, it's wild. All of the fragrances I've tried of hers are nuclear bombs, they're animalic, difficult, disgusting, and I love 'em - super unique, really unlike anything you can find anywhere else. Great pricing too, I think I got my bottle for under $100CAD. Definitely not for the faint of heart, though. Great video as always!
I've always liked this categorization (which you can't find anywhere - hardly!), it saves me the stress and time of the decision-makings. Thank you, J. C. We're almost hitting 100K, let's go!
The only one I tried is Colonia Intensa and I love it, probably my favorite of the house (one of the few houses that I have yet to dislike any of their scents!)
Yeah, it definitely makes sense to wear niche to gym when you think about it scent wise. Natural smelling will bother less than something synthetic. But price wise, no way, unless you're rich😂
I never wear fragrances while working out. Gym fragrances are unnecessary, in my opinion. Good deodorant and good hygiene is all that’s needed. Plus if someone has body odor then covering it with fragrance isn’t helping.
I agree. However, I interpret "gym fragrance" as anything after sports/during high heat/ultra refreshing and not too expensive. You don't have to literally wear it while deadlifting
I enjoy a light, fresh fragrance while working out. Something clean is energizing for me personally. I usually reach for something like Tiffany & Co Love for Her, or Opus Kore by Vilhelm.
I got the original Desirtoxic and a 10ml of the Intense. Amazing! Justin, I saw you tried Atman Xaman. I just got a 5ml and LOVE it sooo much! It is way under the radar. Id rate this next to my Pardon. Im even rocking this in the summer because I cant put it aside. Have you tried Memory Motel? Also tops
Hey, needed some guidance. So I'm a college student, 21 and am new to fragrances. I just purchased Side effect, Naxos, Cedrat Boise & Ysl le homme to start off. Do you have any other recommendations thats unique and outstanding?
@@stayfreshproductions i want to build a collection about 10 for different occasions. I added Layton and MFK oud along with grand soir. is this good enough? My goal is to be different but also something loud that everyone enjoys, maybe something seductive for dates.
Appreciate the vid, as always. I’m wondering if you’ve had an opportunity to put your nose on the entire Mind Games line and, if so, if you have any thoughts about J’Adoube and Grand Master?
ordered 8 of them. But from scent split where I can get them in 1ml samples. Maxaroma only offers 5ml samples which is way to much for a sample IMO......
Dammit Justin 😂😂, I just bought a bottle of the Desirtoxic regular (not the Intense), now you got me wondering….UGH! Should I have gotten the Intense instead? I will sample and see…
Any decant website recommendations for Canada? Maxaroma is charging CAD 75 for 2 decants. I might as well stretch and get a full bottle of another fragrance. Selected Acqua di Parma and alghabra from this list. Thank you for the suggestions as always!
Love apple brandy’s opening, it does get veryyy woody and oaky, kinda wish that fresh apple opening lasted longer, anyway amazing list man, all great scents💯
For peofessional warm I would suggest casamorati mefisto. I really love this one but sometimes i fon't feel like wearing it because it feels too professional to wear casually
I just purchased a 8ml of Kilian Apple Brandy... I've only given it a wrist wearing thus far, but it's one of those "love at first sniff" scents for me... truly intoxicating scent profile ❤🫠
So glad you mentioned Etruscan water, easily in my top 5 fragrances of all time and one that will always be in my collection 👍
lol. I wore Etruscan Water last night just to do grocery shopping. This list is fantastic!
@@dirfrops you have great taste 👌
I can second apple brandy on the rocks by killian is amazing. Tons of compliments.

I have a sample of Desir Toxic L'Intense and boy its potent at least on me. Definetly smells high end.

It’s so unique!

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
Another great video Bro
Appreciate it
Great as ALWAYS 👍👍👍👍

She’s got some really special scents for sure. Thanks for watching!

It’s a good house!
I really like Salt and Pepper, I just prefer my gym fragrances to be a little on the cheaper side

I like gym fragrances cause they just make me feel better. Anything with fresh notes makes me feel fresher and happier
I agree😂 It's good marketing.
@@profound369I feel the same. Something fresh, Clean and light. Demeter pure soap or Nautica blue sail are my go to's
I enjoy a light, fresh fragrance while working out. Something clean is energizing for me personally. I usually reach for something like Tiffany & Co Love for Her, or Opus Kore by Vilhelm.
Gardez definitely different. Jadoube is the ONE for me from Mind Games
I remmber this vid when i saw a deal of rima for 60 dollars ... Ik you dont recomend blind buying ... but do you think it is an easy blind buy ?,😅
Yes it’s easy…but I just hope you love it!
I got the original Desirtoxic and a 10ml of the Intense. Amazing! Justin, I saw you tried Atman Xaman. I just got a 5ml and LOVE it sooo much! It is way under the radar.

I’m so glad you like AX! I haven’t tried Memory Motel

I think that’s a great start. As long as you love those fragrances, you’ve got all the bases covered. Why exactly are you looking for another?

I haven’t tried them yet!
I like J'Adoube and Gardez..
What is your favorite Amouroud? I have Wet Stone, Im wondering which black bottle I should buy.
Lunar Vetiver is my favorite from the house. Oud du Jour is my favorite black bottle
ordered 8 of them. But from scent split where I can get them in 1ml samples. Maxaroma only offers 5ml samples which is way to much for a sample IMO......
👍🏾
Dammit Justin 😂😂, I just bought a bottle of the Desirtoxic regular (not the Intense), now you got me wondering….UGH! Should I have gotten the Intense instead? I will sample and see…
I love the original, the L’Intense is just fresher so it works better for warmer nights for me

The code STAYFRESH15 will save you some cash as well.
Glad that DesirToxic L' Intense is for warm weather and dating. I didn't have a dating scent for spring/summer.
Let's go JC!!
Love apple brandy’s opening, it does get veryyy woody and oaky, kinda wish that fresh apple opening lasted longer, anyway amazing list man, all great scents💯
Thank you!
I'm actually happy with it being like that, so long as it isn't too boring. I need to get my nose on it.
@@Ripa-Moramee Its def a great scent dont get me wrong, for me tho drydown is too linear and a little bitter on my skin, love the opening tho
@@Ulyssmusic Uh yeah not a fan of linear woody scents. If they aren't it's really good though, my favorite fragrance ever is royal oud from creed.
For peofessional warm I would suggest casamorati mefisto. I really love this one but sometimes i fon't feel like wearing it because it feels too professional to wear casually
He never talk about longevity and projection all the time!
Because it is not a “feature” that can be guaranteed.
Longevity and projection changed A LOT between people.
Gardez is definitely a sample first😂
❤❤❤
awesome show. from fall time wish list to mind games review I've been waiting for! thank you @justincopeland
Thank you!
I just purchased a 8ml of Kilian Apple Brandy... I've only given it a wrist wearing thus far, but it's one of those "love at first sniff" scents for me... truly intoxicating scent profile ❤🫠
Apple brandy on the rocks is amazing! IMO better than Angels Share since it can be worn year round and is less cloying
@ntoko234 totally agree.. it also has more of a sophistication and complexity to it.. imo
