Hello Sir, can you suggest me some perfume which will last longer (6-8)hrs. Or so long? Beside that the smell will draw everyone’s attention in the party. Please suggest
Some excellent 2023 releases here. The new Jean Paul Gautier "Elixir" and Paco Rabanne 1 Million "Royal" are definitely the best ones on this list too. I purchased both of them a few weeks ago.
Not sure about Le Male Elixer yet, but recently blind bought Born in roma Intense and it's got a really addictive scent much like VUI. Another great offering from valentino and I'm becoming a fan.😀
@@rottenrebels Absolutely! After being so impressed by VUI I was compelled to try other Valentino Uomo and I'm becoming a fan of the brand. Thanks for the great recommendations! 😀
1 million Royal is underrated immensely compared to the others, the Dry down is Superb. This is where you really get the best of the fragrance. Most people don’t even experience it because they move on from the initial impression.
Totally agree mate! It’s got my vote for 2023. It just has the right amount of everything. As someone in his late 50’s, I have 0 hesitation in rocking this baby! 11/10❤❤
Totally love CH Bad Boy Extreme!! Thanks for the recommendation!👍 Fragrantica says it's best for fall and winter so I have not worn it much in the USA this year. Also looking forward to trying HB The Scent Magnetic.
Scent Magnetic is truly beautiful juice. When I first bought mine (some time ago) I bought 50ml. Less then 24 hours later I was back at the store buying a further 100ml I like it so much. I'll be needing yet another bottle to see me through next winter.
Greetings from the UK! I've recently discovered your channel RR and you're already starting to become one of my fav frag reviewers! You also have very similar opinions to myself with most of your fragrance line that you enjoy 👌Recently picked up V Born in Roma Intense, I think its going to be my new signature scent..
After a workout tonight i sprayed elixir on my arm just for fun. This was one of the first times i noticed the mint a lot in the opening. Later, i showered and after i got out i could smell it just slightly, but it became the honey tobacco drydown. It's so good and it was a cool experience to smell the transformation, not all frags have a great open and close!
Thanks for the videos. Great information. I was wondering how the Valentino Born in Roma Intense compares side-by-side to the Paco Rabanne 1 Million Royal. Are the scents different enough to have both? Thank you and keep up great videos.
Hello, well, let me tell you my experience my friend. I bought Valentino Born in Roma Intense, absolutely loved it. The problem was that it didn't last very long. So I returned it and bought One Million Royal instead and is a gorgeous scent! It is different enough from Born In Roma Intense. So yes, get both, you won't regret it. Maybe the Valentino last longer on you than on me. One that I recommend to you too, is Invictus Elixir, really good!
I love Y EDP intense, well balanced blend. Classy, fresh, not to sweet, and the creamy dry down is magical. The projection on the first 3 hours is crazy tho, room filler for me.
Can confirm this is totally true. Five sprays is more than enough, and he's right about that slightly earthy smell in the dry down (I'm guessing that the patchouli). The opening is stunning.
hey ROTTEN I love your style and your videos man!! I bought ocean edp and victory elixir at the same time a couple months ago and I'm loving them both. Between the two victory has the better performance but the scent of ocean edp is sooooo sweet and lovely. Another great video from the REBEL!!
Thank you!! 😊 Appreciate you. 🙏 I forgot about Victory Elixir when I chose my favorites (it would have been in the video had I remembered it). That's a great scent.. I think I just might enjoy Ocean EDP more though. So smooth, sweet and just fantastic 🤩
@@rottenrebels it really is a wonderful fragrance plus it opened me up to the world of Prada which being kinda new to this I didn't really have a interest in until I smelled ocean edp now I can't wait to get carbon in my collection. Thank u for what u do!!
@@Jbidness82 Prada does not release fragrances as often as some other brands, but what they releases is usually 👌 Feel free to check out my Luna rossa ranked: th-cam.com/video/r5-Eyu_wPhQ/w-d-xo.html (the new edp is not in it though) and make sure you try Prada L'homme and L'homme intense (but only if you like Powdery fragrances) Both those are 👌
Your cologne reviews are really beginning to become go to for great choices. Thank you for what you do and for sharing your great taste in colognes bro.
I got Born In Roma Intense...i love it... i would like to get one more from this list. I dont know , shoul i get JPG ELIXIR or 1 Milion Royale...which one ? 🤔 1 Milion is strong as well , or you need more sprays ? Thank you and all the best . Very good list 🔥🔥
My favourite is one million Parfum. If you don't have that, I would strongly advise you to at least check it out before you buy royal. It smells stunning, and is an absolute beast of a performer. Best in the one million line by far IMO.
Recently got le male elixir and not dissapointed one bit, its just simply delicious, I get a lovely nutty and caramel like gourmand aroma from it and the bottle is stunning also, cant wait to wear more of it as we come into autumn/winter.
@@rottenrebels personally I prefer elixir, I already bought Armani code parfum because both have iris in it and I always personally preferred armani code to le male, maybe code will be the next to get an elixir it seems to be the trend right now and Armani is due one.
My friend have you tried Joop le parfum? (2022 release) Just got it two days ago (125ml for £30) and Wow. What a gem. Iris, tonka, vanilla. And thick like Cherry Halls candies note in the base. All dark and warm. It is rich and long-lasting and juice has a fantastic colour. I'm telling you try it. We have similar taste and I know you'll be delighted.
Considering I feel this way about joop homme... th-cam.com/users/shorts7xYw_nF29Wo do you still recommend me joop le parfum? 😉 (I have not tried joop homme le parfum)
It may be worth you getting a sample to try. Joop parfum is absolutely nothing like Joop Homme, as it's much heavier, slightly darker and richer, and it has zero sickly sweetness. It's really a very nice fragrance, and I'm someone who dislikes Joop Homme as much as you do. Decent performance and a great smell.
Exactly. I know Joop homme sucks but this Le parfum and only this one from the line is from a different planet. If you wouldn't see the bottle it could easily go for a new Azzaro wanted flanker or new le male elixir It's great !!!!! Dark Iris with vanilla and lavender with that hint of cherries in the base. You'd love it 100% Plus it is long lasting😮
R.R., thanks again, man. Some good ones. On my list to get is the Valentino and the JPG. And,yes! You should do a Valentino comparison. My absolute favorite of the line is still Uomo Intense. Smells like money!
is aqua di gio profumo considered a strong fragrance like blue the chanel edp? i saw some for sale but i cant get a tester i am not like a super strong scent guy so i was wondering if the profumo by aqua di gio would be a good choice
Hi! Thanks for the suggestion! I don’t think I will do a review of it (solo review) but I will most likely include it my upcoming Acqua di gio comparison 😊
whenever I using the Phantom 2021, people always ask me about my smell, I’ll try the black one and I will come back here to tell ya, thx for this video.
@@rottenrebels I did today and it’s sneaky good. Really shines in the mid/dry down. Worth getting you eyes on to see if it’s something for your channel.
Amazing videos you do. While on vacation I couldnt resist ordering a full bottle of Xerjoff Tony Iommi Monkey Special. Have you tried this? I overlooked this and discovered tons of rave reviews on youtube. I looked on fragrantica too. After 2 days in a row of wearing it, Im sooo blown away. This magical cologne develops so good over the hours. Ive never smelled anything close to this scent. Reviewers had to really go long in describing and enjoying the notes. It carries very good on sillage and great performer. It is not polar. I cant believe how good it is. For leather lovers the note is there but not a central note. It gives gourmand pleasing leather note. Rose scent is slight. The first spray scent seems like rose is kicking and then fades. It isnt citrus blast opening but thick and easy. Also there is no labeling on scent type. I feel a bit of wood, bit of spice, bit of fruit, bit of 'manly ' floral, bit deep earthy, and aromatic.
@rottenrebels Sure I really dig this new trend for vanilla olibanum resinous scents From those the best I smelled were The best so far Boss the scent magnetic Bad boy extreme 1 million royal (love those first three the most) Invictus victory elixir Phantom Parfum I did also like Kenzo edt marine. I am a big fan of the brand for years starting ages ago with L'Eau par Kenzo Also 2022 kenzo homme edp is my 5 top scent and a beast mode in my collection. I recently tried YSL Y edp intense and it was super good. Strong masculine without that apple note from edp. So they are all very good this year I'm also planning to try le male elixir And looking forward to Boss bottled elixir (already popping at duty free) Oh also what I found phenomenally fresh and alluring was Acqua di Gio parfum but here the DNA is not technically new
@@rottenrebels I love the scent! I sprayed a little on my hand, it starts off kinda sweet but it’s not a heavy kind of sweet. This is actually my first Valentino. I also bought Uomo Intense, waiting for that one to come in.
@@phoenixfire83 I know some think they are the same but while both are powdery I think they are different. 😊 Please share your thoughts on it when you get it 😁😁
Top 5 fall / winter: Le Male Elixir, Spicebomb Infrared EdP, The Scent Magnetic, Chopard Cedar Malaki, Givenchy Gentleman Society. Top 5 spring / summer: Guerlain Ideal Platine Prive, YSL Y EdP Intense, Issey Miyake Vetiver, AdG Parfum.
I saw the chopard the other day. felt it was too expensive though (priced at 150) so might pick it up later on. Is it similar to something else and do You recommend it? I have not tried the Guerlain. Love their stuff though.
@@rottenrebelsWhere I live Chopard's get heavily discounted after a while, so you can wait. To me the Malaki line is similar to the Signature line from Dunhill. They don't smell the same, but you would wear them for the same reasons. Very mature and sophisticated and reasonably priced at discounters.
@@rottenrebels Since you have some of them, I would say that this one is more focused on woody & green notes. I would say that there is a strong "family resemblance" with some of the others. They don't smell the same, but they have the same wearing experience. Silky smooth and very polished.
Le male elixir, Invictus victory elixir and The scent magnetic are the top dogs in 2023 for me, then comes Valentino intense and Luna rossa ocean edp. We can't complain at all about this year's releases
Thanks for sharing! What are your thoughts on redundancy when it comes to a lot of this years best releases being focused on vanilla? I don't think there's an issue with that as they are all doing their own thing and not too similar 😊
You are right, thisnyear vanilla is the star of the show, but you can also say that for other older classic fragrances that use vanilla prominently, like JPG le male, le male le parfum, armani stronger with you, Tom Ford tobacco vanille, just to name a few. One note in common doesn't necessarily make them redundant. Some really are generic, yes, but this year I like the variety we got
Acqua di Gio line is super sexy and "super diluted", especially 200ml bottle. 😔 Do you think the biggest bottles have not the same concentration of perfume oils ? Do you have the same experience ? 🤔
Hi! What do you mean with diluted? You feel the bigger bottles are not the same as the smaller ones? I have bought some smaller ones and not noticed any difference compared to the bigger ones.
I have Mont Blanc Individuel; it is phenomenal. KHAMRAH, in my opinion is better than Angel Share. I have Angel Share but honestly; I think that it’s overrated. ELISIUM is the absolute truth but I use it sparingly because it’s not cheap. I have yet to try Oud For Greatness BUT; Oud For Glory is outstanding. NOW! Club De Nuit Intense Man is the ultimate clone of Creed Aventis! I also have Bakarat Rouge 540. This is another one that I use sparingly but it is awesome. There is one that I would like to add if I may: This fragrance is called VENTANA by Armaf. This is a replica of Dior SAUVAGE. Very very good clone.
Well since mine came out last year im still going state it. CK Defy edp, if you like leathery fragrance Defy Eau de Parfum by Calvin Klein is a fragrance for men. This is a new fragrance. Defy Eau de Parfum was launched in 2022. The nose behind this fragrance is Pascal Gaurin. Top notes are Mandarin Orange and Black Pepper; middle notes are Saffiano Leather and Suede; base note is Haitian Vetiver. main accords leather aromatic citrus woody earthy fresh spicy musky green warm spicy powdery *Top Notes Mandarin Orange Black Pepper *Middle Notes Saffiano Leather Suede *Base Notes Haitian Vetiver
Thanks for sharing! I have not tried that one but I do love the scent of leather. Will try it out. Apparently there's a new parfum as well. You tried that one?
@@rottenrebels I think I have I couldn't really see a difference as of yet but than again I don't have a trained nose I just love what I know usually.... only issue everytime I like something they discontinue it, like CH men Prive or givenchy play intense And ig here's the difference Defy Parfum by Calvin Klein is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men. This is a new fragrance. Defy Parfum was launched in 2023. The nose behind this fragrance is Pascal Gaurin. Top note is Pink Pepper; middle note is Lavender; base note is Cacao. Spicy, floral and sweet maybe? I don't recall the chocolate smell but will give it another go around.
2023 has definitely been the year of vanilla focused fragrances. Not sure if it's by chance that a lot of brands have new vanilla fragrances out or a trend.. As for le male elixir, phantom parfum and born in roma intense, I don't think they are that similar. Might be some similarities between JPG le male elixir and BiR intense but so much I feel they are the same. Phantom parfum is quite different to the rest. 😊
Thanks very interesting. I have le male elixir le male parfum and have just ordered BIRI. Not sure I can get over the bottle design and try phantom parfum 😂
Thanks for sharing! I forgot about that one, and would have included it since I like it a lot: th-cam.com/video/NiwL1kkCEyc/w-d-xo.html I do feel some of these are better than that one though 😊
I absolutely hate that the new ADG is so effing expensive. I cant justify that purchase. Once Macy's has its sale I'll consider picking it up. These companies have lost their dam minds with these ridiculous prices!
I could be wrong but I think something happened sometime last year.. Can't remember which fragrance it was and exactly when, but I was surprised at the high price of a new release. And then almost all following releases (different brands) were around that same kinda high level. Not sure what is behind the increase. If it follows everything else (supply chain issues, cost of production, etc) or if it's something else. But yeah, new fragrances nowadays are prices a lot higher than just a couple of years ago. 😟
If the only JPG you've tried Ultra Male is ultra male.. Then you need to check out le male le parfum and le male elixir.. Both those are some of the very best from JPG🔥
1 Million Elixir is much better than 1 Million Royal. In my opinion they took a small step back with that one, it's still great I own it and have worn it a few times but it doesn't project as well and overall the performance is not as good as last year's Elixir release. I will not be buying that one again, that's what I get for doing a blind buy
@@rottenrebels It would've been a nice blind buy if it was better than Elixir. So for me in my case it was redundant and not a good buy. According to all these reviews I assumed it would be a better fragrance, yes it is still a great fragrance but if you have Elixir already I would not recommend Royal
I'm not a big fan of sweet fragrances 😢 fresh, woody, smoky, citrus, even spicy...but not sweet. love Ralph's Club Elixir, Sauvage Elixir, YSL Intense. YSL Myslf is pretty solid but my go to especially for summer is Versace Eau Fraiche.
With YSL intense you mean Y EDP Intense or? Versace Man Eau Fraiche is a great scent. I do reach for Versace Pour Homme way more often though. Have you tried that one?
@rottenrebels Y EDP Intense, so so good. i had a bottle of Versace Pour Homme, used it, but for some reason, i never repurchased. there was something about the opening that i did not like. the dry down is fantastic though. currently trying out Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Extreme...its surprisingly growing on me.
Le male le parfum has a prominent cardamom note (so you get that spiciness) together with a big dose of a powdery vanilla, a bit of lavender and a very soft woodiness in the background. So it's almost a must to like vanilla and powdery fragrances to enjoy that one 😊If you think you would enjoy that then there's a chance you might like it.
Carolina Herrera bad boy Le Parfum is my favorite sorry it has weed note and leather --leather is my favorite scent so enough said lol about bad boy isn't anything special too me in general
I've just really got into collecting colognes this year I've been so I enjoy watching your videos an I see one on here I usely go smells wear it an it smells good on me an girlfriend like I buy it I've gotten 8 bottles in the last 3 months
@@rottenrebels Sadly i've only picked up YSL Y EP intense this year which i like alot. Will be getting Le male Elixir by JPG next. Can't really go wrong with JPG imo. I have most of the JPG line and they are all soo good. Also looking for L'Homme Idéal Platine Privé as i really enjoy most if not all Guarlain's :D
JPG Elixir would last longer, way sweeter and more masculine type of scent, just my opinion. Valentino born in Roma smell great, sweet and a touch of fresh lavender awesome fragrance as well, just make sure to try both before considering buying choosing. Again I would consider buying JPG Elixir because I’ve already done my comparison on skin on both fragrances. Best of luck!!
Like this video (thank you! 😊) and comment with your absolute favorite men's fragrance release of 2023! 🤩 Which are your favorites so far?
Le Male Elixir 🎉 now I am hooked on checking vanilla fragrances 😂
@@libryttrs7881 😆 So le male elixir is your favorite men's fragrance release so far in 2023? What are your top 3 vanilla scents then? 😊
Hello Sir, can you suggest me some perfume which will last longer (6-8)hrs. Or so long? Beside that the smell will draw everyone’s attention in the party. Please suggest
mine is ysl myslf edp even though its controversial I love it and I have been wearing it more then my other fragrances recently.
Myslf is a great men's fragrance 😊😊👌👌@@sukmn1136
Some excellent 2023 releases here. The new Jean Paul Gautier "Elixir" and Paco Rabanne 1 Million "Royal" are definitely the best ones on this list too. I purchased both of them a few weeks ago.
The valentino and JPG releases are the best so far to my nose.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Along with Y Intense and ADG Parfum
i love the valentino… unfortunately it doesn’t perform well on my skin.
Another banger, to me so far Invictus and JPG elixir are my favorites so far in 2023.
Can’t name one favorite, 2023 have been a fantastic fragrance year!
💯 correct about The Scent Magnetic! ❤
Straight away I had to have a backup bottle mate.
Don’t fall asleep on this on! 👍🏽👍🏽🇦🇺
oh yes!! it's 🙌👌
Not sure about Le Male Elixer yet, but recently blind bought Born in roma Intense and it's got a really addictive scent much like VUI. Another great offering from valentino and I'm becoming a fan.😀
Born in Roma Intense is so good! 🤩 One of the best in the line really.. Glad to hear you're enjoying it 😊👍
@@rottenrebels Absolutely! After being so impressed by VUI I was compelled to try other Valentino Uomo and I'm becoming a fan of the brand. Thanks for the great recommendations! 😀
1 million Royal is underrated immensely compared to the others, the Dry down is Superb. This is where you really get the best of the fragrance. Most people don’t even experience it because they move on from the initial impression.
Also don’t be afraid of overspraying it. The best part of it gets so much better with more sprays 😊👌
Totally agree mate! It’s got my vote for 2023.
It just has the right amount of everything.
As someone in his late 50’s, I have 0 hesitation in rocking this baby! 11/10❤❤
Thank you for this new video. So far, Guerlain habit rouge rouge privé is the best 2023 release in my opinion.
Thank you, and thanks for sharing!
Totally love CH Bad Boy Extreme!! Thanks for the recommendation!👍 Fragrantica says it's best for fall and winter so I have not worn it much in the USA this year. Also looking forward to trying HB The Scent Magnetic.
If you love fragrances that are powdery with vanilla then why not try it out 😁 The maninka gives it a unique touch that I think is awesome.
Scent Magnetic is truly beautiful juice. When I first bought mine (some time ago) I bought 50ml. Less then 24 hours later I was back at the store buying a further 100ml I like it so much. I'll be needing yet another bottle to see me through next winter.
Greetings from the UK! I've recently discovered your channel RR and you're already starting to become one of my fav frag reviewers!

Which would you choose BIR edt or phantom parfum?
Thanks for the videos. Great information. I was wondering how the Valentino Born in Roma Intense compares side-by-side to the Paco Rabanne 1 Million Royal. Are the scents different enough to have both? Thank you and keep up great videos.
Hello, well, let me tell you my experience my friend. I bought Valentino Born in Roma Intense, absolutely loved it. The problem was that it didn't last very long. So I returned it and bought One Million Royal instead and is a gorgeous scent! It is different enough from Born In Roma Intense. So yes, get both, you won't regret it. Maybe the Valentino last longer on you than on me. One that I recommend to you too, is Invictus Elixir, really good!
My three favorite releases this year are Ch Pasion, Issey Miyake Leau dissey Vetiver, and Hugo Boss the scent magnetic.
Do you recommend the scent magnetic or absolut for summer? And lastly, do you like bottles night?
Thanx brother,excellent line up, the Givenchy and Boss are very tempting. Have a great weekend, God bless.

Congrats.
How does the phantom parfum perform?
You have literally shown all the best releases for this year and exactly my list to buy for now
any of these you like more than the rest? 😊
@rottenrebels
Sure
I really dig this new trend for vanilla olibanum resinous scents
From those the best I smelled were
The best so far
Boss the scent magnetic
Bad boy extreme
1 million royal
(love those first three the most)
Invictus victory elixir
Phantom Parfum
I did also like
Kenzo edt marine. I am a big fan of the brand for years starting ages ago with L'Eau par Kenzo
Also 2022 kenzo homme edp is my 5 top scent and a beast mode in my collection.
I recently tried YSL Y edp intense and it was super good. Strong masculine without that apple note from edp.
So they are all very good this year
I'm also planning to try le male elixir
And looking forward to Boss bottled elixir (already popping at duty free)
Oh also what I found phenomenally fresh and alluring was Acqua di Gio parfum but here the DNA is not technically new
Givenchy Society, Bad Boy Extreme, 1 Million Royal and Le Male Elixir 😮💨😮💨. I Looove
I want Acqua di Gio Parfum 🥲
😁👌
Every pay check am going for one for one till am done with this line up …some I already have …
Do you like the YSL y EDP or the y EDP intense better?
For you, Y EDP vs Y EDP Intense: th-cam.com/video/jEAl4quBxwc/w-d-xo.html
😁👌
Valentino surprises me how good it is
It has been a great release year so far. :)
Still haven’t seen Bad Boy Extreme or JPG Le Male Elixir in shops near me yet.
Great video :)
Thank you!! Yup, great year for frag heads so far 😉 Hope we get to see some more in the 2nd half of the year 🙌
not released this year but how is the stronger with you one?
Haven’t smelled the JPG but so far CH Men Pasion is my favorite followed by Gentleman Society.
Thanks for sharing! I have not tried that ch men.. Is it similar to something else and do you recommend it?
Love these ❤
monsieur rebel should we expect new kenzo line ranking video (edt vs edp vs marine vs edt intense)?
I only have the edt intense, edp and edt marine. Been thinking of doing a comparison video with those 😊
So far, Guerlain has released my two favorites of 2023. Habit Rouge Rouge Prive and Platine Prive.
Heard so many good things about Platine Privé.. Thanks for sharing!
Do you think Le Male Elixr smells expensive?
Just acquired Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Intense. Haven’t given it a full wear yet but it smells great in the air.
It's so good! How would you rank it with the rest in the line?
@@rottenrebels I love the scent! I sprayed a little on my hand, it starts off kinda sweet but it’s not a heavy kind of sweet. This is actually my first Valentino. I also bought Uomo Intense, waiting for that one to come in.
@@phoenixfire83 Oh you bought Uomo Intense? If you love powdery fragrances, you're in for a treat 😁👍
@@rottenrebels I hear it’s similar to Dior Homme Intense! If so I will love it.
@@phoenixfire83 I know some think they are the same but while both are powdery I think they are different. 😊 Please share your thoughts on it when you get it 😁😁
Top 5 fall / winter: Le Male Elixir, Spicebomb Infrared EdP, The Scent Magnetic, Chopard Cedar Malaki, Givenchy Gentleman Society. Top 5 spring / summer: Guerlain Ideal Platine Prive, YSL Y EdP Intense, Issey Miyake Vetiver, AdG Parfum.
I saw the chopard the other day. felt it was too expensive though (priced at 150) so might pick it up later on. Is it similar to something else and do You recommend it?
I have not tried the Guerlain. Love their stuff though.
@@rottenrebelsWhere I live Chopard's get heavily discounted after a while, so you can wait. To me the Malaki line is similar to the Signature line from Dunhill. They don't smell the same, but you would wear them for the same reasons. Very mature and sophisticated and reasonably priced at discounters.
@@kevino73 Hi! I have some of them and I like them. well-made for sure. Was just curious on how that one smells like 😊😊
@@rottenrebels Since you have some of them, I would say that this one is more focused on woody & green notes. I would say that there is a strong "family resemblance" with some of the others. They don't smell the same, but they have the same wearing experience. Silky smooth and very polished.
Please do a Video on Scentologia Syn-ergy.
Thanks for the suggestion! I have not bought anything from that house though so don't have it. 😊
Valentino born in roma intense is my favorite this year hands down
Le male elixir, Invictus victory elixir and The scent magnetic are the top dogs in 2023 for me, then comes Valentino intense and Luna rossa ocean edp. We can't complain at all about this year's releases
Thanks for sharing! What are your thoughts on redundancy when it comes to a lot of this years best releases being focused on vanilla? I don't think there's an issue with that as they are all doing their own thing and not too similar 😊
You are right, thisnyear vanilla is the star of the show, but you can also say that for other older classic fragrances that use vanilla prominently, like JPG le male, le male le parfum, armani stronger with you, Tom Ford tobacco vanille, just to name a few. One note in common doesn't necessarily make them redundant. Some really are generic, yes, but this year I like the variety we got
Can't wait for the Zara video ❤🔥
😊
Prada is my favorite så far. But jpg- elexir will get more love as soon as it gets colder. 🎉
What is/are the best freshies for summer/spring/day time wear for this year?
Acqua di Gio line is super sexy and "super diluted", especially 200ml bottle. 😔 Do you think the biggest bottles have not the same concentration of perfume oils ? Do you have the same experience ? 🤔
Hi! What do you mean with diluted?
You feel the bigger bottles are not the same as the smaller ones?
I have bought some smaller ones and not noticed any difference compared to the bigger ones.
I have Mont Blanc Individuel; it is phenomenal. KHAMRAH, in my opinion is better than Angel Share. I have Angel Share but honestly; I think that it’s overrated. ELISIUM is the absolute truth but I use it sparingly because it’s not cheap. I have yet to try Oud For Greatness BUT; Oud For Glory is outstanding. NOW! Club De Nuit Intense Man is the ultimate clone of Creed Aventis! I also have Bakarat Rouge 540. This is another one that I use sparingly but it is awesome. There is one that I would like to add if I may: This fragrance is called VENTANA by Armaf. This is a replica of Dior SAUVAGE. Very very good clone.
Nice perfume collection✌️🔥🔥🔥
Well since mine came out last year im still going state it. CK Defy edp, if you like leathery fragrance

Thanks for sharing! I have not tried that one but I do love the scent of leather. Will try it out. Apparently there's a new parfum as well. You tried that one?
@@rottenrebels I think I have I couldn't really see a difference as of yet but than again I don't have a trained nose I just love what I know usually.... only issue everytime I like something they discontinue it, like CH men Prive or givenchy play intense
And ig here's the difference
Defy Parfum by Calvin Klein is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men. This is a new fragrance. Defy Parfum was launched in 2023. The nose behind this fragrance is Pascal Gaurin. Top note is Pink Pepper; middle note is Lavender; base note is Cacao.
Spicy, floral and sweet maybe? I don't recall the chocolate smell but will give it another go around.
Safe to say he likes vanilla based fragrances! 😂 Good video.
My fav is Aqua di gio Parfum Lacoste eau intense
😊👌
A lot seem to share sweetness vanilla and lavender .. maybe some redundancy there ?
2023 has definitely been the year of vanilla focused fragrances.
Not sure if it's by chance that a lot of brands have new vanilla fragrances out or a trend..
As for le male elixir, phantom parfum and born in roma intense, I don't think they are that similar. Might be some similarities between JPG le male elixir and BiR intense but so much I feel they are the same. Phantom parfum is quite different to the rest. 😊
Thanks very interesting. I have le male elixir le male parfum and have just ordered BIRI. Not sure I can get over the bottle design and try phantom parfum 😂
@@SpinningSerenity 😆
Bad Boy Extreme is SO GOOD!
I didn't really like the smell of Le Male Elixir, Bad Boy Extreme and Invictus Elixir are better in my opinion!
BBE is indeed 🔥 Not sure I like it more than Le Male Elixir though.. 😉 Thanks for sharing! 🙏
The reaction to the fragrances is class, it takes you by storm everytime😂🔥
Invictus victory elixir? It’s the best one out of all of them
Thanks for sharing! I forgot about that one, and would have included it since I like it a lot: th-cam.com/video/NiwL1kkCEyc/w-d-xo.html
I do feel some of these are better than that one though 😊
I am interested in the prada, Valentino and jpg Elixir.
Have you tried any of them?
@@rottenrebels no, in Malta and from where I buy online still dont have apart the prada.
I absolutely hate that the new ADG is so effing expensive. I cant justify that purchase. Once Macy's has its sale I'll consider picking it up. These companies have lost their dam minds with these ridiculous prices!
I could be wrong but I think something happened sometime last year.. Can't remember which fragrance it was and exactly when, but I was surprised at the high price of a new release. And then almost all following releases (different brands) were around that same kinda high level.
Not sure what is behind the increase. If it follows everything else (supply chain issues, cost of production, etc) or if it's something else. But yeah, new fragrances nowadays are prices a lot higher than just a couple of years ago. 😟
Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Extreme 👌
🙌🔥
Cartier Pasha Nior Absolu is my release of the year
I Think its time to buy Hugo boss the scent magnetic!
Have you tried it?
Le Male elixir is already in discounters for $120!
I need to check out that JPG the only one I tried was ultra male
If the only JPG you've tried Ultra Male is ultra male.. Then you need to check out le male le parfum and le male elixir.. Both those are some of the very best from JPG🔥
@@rottenrebels ok. Witch jpg is good for the summer.
1 Million Elixir is much better than 1 Million Royal. In my opinion they took a small step back with that one, it's still great I own it and have worn it a few times but it doesn't project as well and overall the performance is not as good as last year's Elixir release. I will not be buying that one again, that's what I get for doing a blind buy
So you think 1 million Royal is great but it was not a good blind buy?
@@rottenrebels It would've been a nice blind buy if it was better than Elixir. So for me in my case it was redundant and not a good buy. According to all these reviews I assumed it would be a better fragrance, yes it is still a great fragrance but if you have Elixir already I would not recommend Royal
I'm not a big fan of sweet fragrances 😢 fresh, woody, smoky, citrus, even spicy...but not sweet. love Ralph's Club Elixir, Sauvage Elixir, YSL Intense. YSL Myslf is pretty solid but my go to especially for summer is Versace Eau Fraiche.
With YSL intense you mean Y EDP Intense or? Versace Man Eau Fraiche is a great scent. I do reach for Versace Pour Homme way more often though. Have you tried that one?
@rottenrebels Y EDP Intense, so so good. i had a bottle of Versace Pour Homme, used it, but for some reason, i never repurchased. there was something about the opening that i did not like. the dry down is fantastic though. currently trying out Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Extreme...its surprisingly growing on me.
Is le male le parfum a safe blind buy?
The beauty of le male le parfum is 💯💯
Le male le parfum has a prominent cardamom note (so you get that spiciness) together with a big dose of a powdery vanilla, a bit of lavender and a very soft woodiness in the background. So it's almost a must to like vanilla and powdery fragrances to enjoy that one 😊If you think you would enjoy that then there's a chance you might like it.
Now I have to get them all 😅🎉❤
Love boss magnetic but wish it would last longer on me.
Spray a bit more 😉 Is The Scent Magnetic your favorite 2023 release?
@rottenrebels one of a few le male elixr and invictus elixr.
1 YSL Bleu Electrique,
Take a shot every time he says "THIS IS"...... I'm drunk😂😂😂😂
Don't take a shot everytime that is being said.. You´ll need rehab if you do. 😆
Carolina Herrera bad boy Le Parfum is my favorite sorry it has weed note and leather --leather is my favorite scent so enough said lol about bad boy isn't anything special too me in general
Some more love for le parfum then! 😊 Bad Boy le parfum definitely has something unique to it
Too me none of the rest of the line ends up getting purchased lol, like the edt falls short. And the rest aren't memorable so the fall flat as well
Luna rossa has nothing with amber or vanilla its just fresh aquatic
I like dolce and gabbana light blue summer vibe an my girlfriend loves Valentino intesen
Thanks for sharing! Is light blue summer vibes your favorite in that line from D&G?
I've just really got into collecting colognes this year I've been so I enjoy watching your videos an I see one on here I usely go smells wear it an it smells good on me an girlfriend like I buy it I've gotten 8 bottles in the last 3 months
JPG Elixir , i tried it and it was way Weaker than Le bau perfume . Strange...
did you try it properly?
@@rottenrebels I tried it on a store on both my hands.
I smell a first :D
🔥 What are some of your favorites this year? 😊
@@rottenrebels Sadly i've only picked up YSL Y EP intense this year which i like alot. Will be getting Le male Elixir by JPG next. Can't really go wrong with JPG imo. I have most of the JPG line and they are all soo good.
Also looking for L'Homme Idéal Platine Privé as i really enjoy most if not all Guarlain's :D
Sounds like you love the note of vanilla.....😅
valentino born in roma intense or jpg elixir everyone
JPG Elixir would last longer, way sweeter and more masculine type of scent, just my opinion.
Valentino born in Roma smell great, sweet and a touch of fresh lavender awesome fragrance as well, just make sure to try both before considering buying choosing.
Again I would consider buying JPG Elixir because I’ve already done my comparison on skin on both fragrances. Best of luck!!
Sauvage elixir for ever
Which one can you wear for the Fall?
I think all can be worn for fall. More about what you enjoy wearing for fall 😉
