F black is so underrated, the best by far besides explorer in my opinion, but F black is for the fall/winter time and explorer more for spring/summer time
legend says she is still expecting that handshake. I hope next time guest will try explorer, aventus, armaf club de nuit and mix some sauvage etc and see if they get the same vibe and favorites
Been randomly experimenting with frags for the last 6 months and Explorer comped, Aventus didnt. The girl smelled me 3 times with Explorer..she didn't want to leave my presence. I was shocked it lived up to the hype. It was kinda crazy to see my research through following the frag community actually pulled me a comp in the streets, and then see it again in the SoCal Scents vid.
Good job my friends I like that you let the girls try the drydowns too. It's the most correct time too make the choice if the fragrance is good or bad. Keep up the good work Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
I'm really curious to see her opinion on Club de Nuit Intense man since she likes Explorer so much. My husband has been layering those 2 fragrances and smells exactly like his 2010 bottle of Aventus.
We probably will never feature it as we don’t really rock with the clones. CDNIM smells like pinesol to us 😂, so I bet it smells way better when explorer is mixed with it.
@@SoCalScents Wow Pine Sol really, thanks for warning me! 😅 I hate that scent and any close to it. I think Hermes is close to that territory. I think its for people that never lived around trees? But to be fair Explorer is a Aventis clone. Mont Blanc is the Clone House and most of their frag performance is so weak, its intermediate at best (like Coach) just can't take them seriously compared to Versace, Armani, Dior, YSL, Paco, etc.
i have discovered that Pure Havane's dry down is a heavy compliment getter from women. The dry down is when the famed Amen caramel/french vanilla/cocoa vibe comes to the fore mixed with the cherry piped tobacco accord. It is the most pleasant part of the fragrance which your guest clearly likes a lot. The good thing is that the fragrance performs well so for about 4 hours the dry down projects and is picked up by others around you. The first two hours on the other hand is heavily complimented by men as the piped tobacco accord is strongest in the opening and mid of the fragrance and is perceived by guys as an established masculine cool upper tier cuban gangster/cartel type smell. (which guy doesnt want to smell like that! LOL.). The Amen line being gourmand and non linear in nature is also best tested on the skin...sooooo much better than off a strip. Explorer does smell good but the performance isnt great. 4 hrs max of any meaningful performance. CDNIM is a better option.
put Mont blanc explorer vs Bleu de chanel vs prada luna rossa black vs la nuit de l'homme vs Burberry London vs Dior Homme vs CAHSEE vs ADG profumo vs Layton vs tom ford noir extreme plzzzzzz
@@SoCalScents Then just do Mont blanc explorer vs Bleu de chanel vs prada luna rossa black vs CAHSEE vs Burberry London vs Layton vs ADG profumo ... 7 fragrances :D Thanks a lot
I’m pretty sure she smelt L’venture on a guy and just fell in love with the scent characteristic since it’s the fruity batch clone of aventus and that’s what explorer is going for. But explorer performance is all that great and doesn’t smell as close but it’s not bad.
Great stuff guys, you chose nice fragrances for this battle! I love the fact that Explorer was the winner for her, I also think it's the best out of those 👌

@@winnienguyen4420 Hey I got a sample of Hermes and don't get the hype? To me smells kind of dated, very piney, forest scent. Reminds me of updated Polo Green which I hate. Do you like it? What score #/10 vs. Wanted by Night? Also curious whats your opinion of F Black by SF, score? Thanks
Picked up a MBE tester for $50 for a 100ml Included in my order Bois De Vetiver and a replacement bottle of Coach for Men. $108 for all three 100ml bottles. I like fresh and clean scents to use in the office. I'm down to my last few wearings of TF Grey Vetiver and there's no way am I paying over a $100 for one bottle. My order is a solid line up for this summer
Do you own it? If thats the case its definitely a hell no for F Black. Based on everything I've heard people either love or hate it, no in between! Sounds too formal (Black), powdery, "baby wipes" smell, not a blind buy. Now I get the advertising.
@@Wize817 yea man it just smelled like you could only wear it under one condition. With a suit and thats it. At the time I was 24 and rarely wore suits
Man this is so obvious on first spray to most people..not manly at all. It really is not a men's scent. You guys can't even tell why girls thinking you fruity? 😂
@@SoCalScents Maybe some do, but many don't and won't tell you if you're a stranger wearing it, they'll just think "negatively" about you. Some guys rather know the truth, like Shantal confirmed, other guys have no clue their frag maybe giving the wrong impression of themself. If you don't really care what most women think or even Shantal, then why bother even doing the tests with women?? ..to find the exception to the rule that "some" may like it on a guy!? 😆 That defeats the whole point of doing the tests with women 💪

She reminds me of my bm.... who is coming over tonight. And I just got a bottle of explorer today. So guess what I'm wearing tonight? 😆 Edit: I just learned she is Colombiana, so is my bm.... maybe that's why she reminds me of her. Dope.

SouthernLocks glad it worked out for you! Compliments can feel amazing!
14:55 haha I love the unintentional “psych!”
I love the original Coach for Men. One of my everyday go-to scents. Wasn't a huge fan of the Platinum but only tried it once in store
HappyTurtle Same. I got it over Sauvage as well as Platinum
@@civoreb me too I found it for $35aud had to go back the next day and get a backup bottle
Explorer doesn’t last long for me, it’s more of a close up smell
Mont blanc the best
Legend, spirit, explorer, individual, night!!!! 😱😎🌹👌💜
Shantal on F Black:
“I like it. It is masculine. It is sexy.”
...and it is dirt cheap. Sold.
@mcdonald Ronald depends on the season. Don’t wear it in the summer or for super close encounters.

Agree with all of them, I have them all, only I don't have and didn't smell Initio.
Khashayar Faeghi right on!
One Million Cologne was yesterday's pick. Pure Tonka is today's SOTD. Tomorrow I'll bring out Insurrection Pure II. Best knock off of aventus for $20.
Red Salmon pure Tonka is a good choice for that cool weather!
Prolly the only video where Invictus Legend gets the credit it deserves!!! Best fragrance out and it lasts !!
One of the most hype reactions for explorer, good job 👍🏽
That kick was lethal. If I remember she doesn't like the freshies. She would love Fahrenheit.
Christian V. I don’t know if she’d like that gasoline smell 😉.
I'm curious what she'd think about Terre D'Hermes as well.

I love my Explorer, I just wish the performance was better
give a spray or two on clothes & hair to boost it a little longer. But we feel you.
Awesome! I definitely will! Thank you for the tip!
I don't know what you are spraying but on me it lasted till the next day even after a shower after still smelt it on my wrist were I test sprayed it
Great hosts and guest. Fun video. I've since bought MB Explorer.
She's very sweet, lovely young woman
that Creed DNA 🧬 smoked the competition
Coach seems to have been a winner . I agree it has every day use signature scent writtin all over it
CaLi Reviews it’s so easy to wear!
One of the best channels out there 👍👍
I love Invictus Legend also 👍🏾 great video guys. I want to get my nose on Explorer
I don’t think they discontinued coach platinum probably the original
Timothy Reigns good to know!
Im wondering if my explorer is fake, all this hype for it and I can barely stand the smell. Any tips for spotting fakes?
Where did you buy it from?
Another great vid guys. Strong work

That was a lot of fun to watch ( look at ) L'adventure and Explorer get more compliments than Aventus for me.....It's crazy
WOW!
15/10....its strong one...already have explorer...but i have more better scents on my collections.
Anyway Great video guys
What’s your most complimented
???
She’s a star
Pure Havane at 6.5?! That’s one of my most fav winter fragrances.
To each their own, I guess.
Robert Louise Drake she liked it even more with the drydown :)
Yeah, obviously I reacted so soon as she rated it on the opening lol
Couldn’t be more obvious how I like the fragrance lol
Great work as always y’all...Big up

lol homie tryin to impress by rolling up his sleeves
Great Job as always 👍
BaDR HaRI thank you!
Good video really interested to see her take on fresh aquatic scents since she likes fresher scents.. 😎
Cold Hearted def when it starts to warm up again :)
try to add new releases to this list like Y live and pure xs night
Ala Guiza we used pure XS night in the Halloween video. Y live isn’t available anywhere in SoCalifornia yet. We will when it gets here :)
Good selections girl! 🔥
Dang she's beautiful 😍
I'm going to by explorer 🥰🥰🥰
Coach is a beast love it the edt, was my first fragrance got it for xmas, its how I got into frags 😁
Right on
Good selections guys
that thumbnail pic!
Personally I didn’t like explorer. But I do like legend.
This video was great I have a lot of bottles that you let her smell I’m always curious to see what the women think great job guys
Ain’t gunna lie she bad as hell
Cant go wrong with Explorer or Coach Platinum very reasonable prices, my dumb reach fragrances.
Another awesome video
3 sprays are too many for a small paper.
Shh
No its not 🤦♂️ 3 sprays are minimum to get the scent profile and dry down to compare to min. spray on self.
F Black seems like you can only wear it with a suit to me lol

Why did she say "I hope i like this one"?? Seems suspect to me.

Nice video
Jovi Romero thanks Jovi! Do you wear any of these
Ferragamo Fblack my scent of the day 😉. Pure Havane one of my favorite Christmas scents
F Black is totally overrated. The only smell I get are Baby wipes or Wet wipes. Its not sexy its not massappealing.
so cal so cal so cal so cal !!!!!!!!!!!! o yeah!!!!!!!!!
Pointless smelling on cardboard strip - should be on skin after dry down
Guy on left looks like he might be related to Shemar Moore and the one on the right looks like he could be a young Ben Affleck, and the girl in the middle looks like she could be my girlfriend
I think guy in the left also shaking his body when he apply perfume
TIP LET YOUR Guess smell some Coffee bean to reset the nose
They do between every fragrance. We edit that out as it’s not interesting 😉
