Honestly, they gave more positive impressions than I expected for a lot of these, a fair spread of opinions as well with what they liked. Not surprised the PdM did the best overall.
The scarface girl is just hilarious. They are ordinary people that we meet every day unlike fragheads like a bunch of subscribers to this or other fragrance channels. Their opinions are totally unbiased towards the brands and that’s what I like a about them.
Right! I’m just starting to get into fragrance and I go try to smell fragrances that have been hyped up by “fragheads” and I usually hate them 🤣 I’m just not sophisticated enough yet I guess
Not surprised by this, to the average person who isn’t into the love of fragrances niche will often be too much for them. There’s a reason the most popular fragrances are also the most boring and safe smells. The average person won’t understand niche
This is exactly how I feel💀Niche that isn’t weird asf and high quality designer like Dior and Chanel is where it’s at. Get me a high quality scent that smells bomb, that’s it.
It’s crazy to me how difficult for a fragrance to speak to everyone, like if the fragrance is light and “easy to like” then they don’t like it because it’s to generic but when someone smells something out of the ordinary it’s to much, to strong etc etc..
I enjoy this series, one of my favorites!..And, Tressa? She will always "make the cut" for me! 😜 She's so scary when it comes to getting her opinion on a fragrance! Generally, I like the way this group describes the fragrances. Great job guys. My regards to "Mona Lisa". 👍
This helped me a lot! I have Percival, and my wife lives it. But she is VERY sensitive to colognes and perfumes, most give her headaches so it it's tricky.
I assumed they would babe cried rivers about Interlude Bakck Iris.. But that was a pleasant surprise. Actually a surprising the last guy didn’t like it… Or at least appreciate it. On the whole… pretty solid responses.
It would be nice if you introduced people fully wearing each fragrance to everyone so they could see how the fragrances smell on skin instead of only on paper.
I'm really surprised that most of them didn't hate Amouage Interlude Black Iris. I absolutely despised it and just thought everyone would react similarly. Man was I wrong. I think it is seriously pungent, and I can't get the smell out of my nose for days.
Not sure I’ve smelt the. Lack iris version but interlude itself has got to be the worst fragrance I have ever smelled. I could smell it for days and it just smells of thick smoke.
Nasomatos’ seem very intriguing. I want to find some department stores where I can go smell them. It’s amazing how one person says “something my grandma would wear”and the other person says “strip club”. That’s hilarious.
Yeah, it's a very cool brand, very unique. But sometimes a bit too much. Fantomas literally smells like melony plastic (I saw it with a 40% discount in my local store, nobody wanted it I guess, lol). But Baraonda, Duro, Narcotic V are amazing.
Love these average blind tastings. Never know what you’re going to get and the opinions very across the board. Not really surprised with percival being the most liked here.
I love PdM, and def recognize that many of their 'niche' frags resemble others. This group of youngsters picked the PdM frag most closely related to A&F Fierce. Happily surprised that several liked AND appreciated Black Iris.....they would have freaked out with the OG Interlude Man. As they get older I think some of them may be more open Nasomatto.
@@justaddlight it's not a good business move though when it cost like $400 compared to a $7 body spray like beckam respect which smells the same anyway lol
@@GrowingDownUnder It's absolutely good business to dupe naive consumers into buying something for $400 that costs $4 to make. 😄 People pay for the perception of luxury and exclusivity, not the product; and the exploitation of ignorance has been a hallmark of human behaviour for thousands of years. The choice is therefore either to become informed, or remain exploited - with the bulk of profits in the luxuries industry coming from the latter (although both can still be manipulated). That may change as people become more connected and aware, but it'll take time. in the meantime, let's give people something familiar and make $$$$!!! 😂
@@justaddlight it kinda has the opposite effect though, people aren't going to pay for something more expensive when you can get it for cheaper. Just like nobody is going to buy creed aventus in this day and age with hundreds of cheaper clones of it around everywhere. There's hundreds of percival clones too which make it completely redundant to buy and own. I see a lot of influencers pushing it but the fact is it's redundant to buy with better and cheaper alternatives. I wouldn't say beckam respect is better, because it's not better but it is cheaper. Abercrombie fierce is better and cheaper though and last way longer
I love these videos, you really see a spectrum of opinions and more than anything it highlights how subjective the perception of fragrance is. Get a fragrance to please yourself first and foremost
10:26 lol I like how that's the one girl who's truly broke away from the Nautica pack and just straight up recognizes the scent of money. That's true anyone who smells Amouge is going to recognize the smell of money. Idk what was wrong with my sample, Interlude Iris smelled terrible to me.
I enjoy these vids. Fascinating how every nose is so different. Surprised the popular Ani wasn't enjoyed by all. I believe you wear what you like. Never base a frag on house/price. Ever.
Tressa lookin sharp as f* 🔥 Those eyes kill me! 😍 But then she speaks this roughy style. It's like a putting salt on a sweet tasty cake. 😀 But i think i love it anyways.
And the best niche fragrance is the one that smells pretty much like..... Axe Apollo. And I am not even surprised at all, people actually really like how many Axe products smell, as long as they don't know what it is.
"This kind of reminds me of Fierce", "I feel that you don't need to spend that much on a cologne" - right, so go for the cheaper buys like Montblanc Legend instead of Fierce or Pericval
6:17 wise man :o I mean percival is probably the best and high quality execution of that "abercrombie dna" but if you gonna buy a pdm might as well go for the heavy stuff...
when there are designer fragrances there is usually a more obvious winner but here not so much. I think it says that niche is usually better quality but just about taste
I've tried some clones and they're pretty good. I'm gonna get Parfums Vintage Isla Tropical. Alexandria Fragrances Hawaii Volcano is good as well. They can't get that rum note just right though.
Good video, I'm always surprised how good descriptions some people that are totally not into fragrance can give. The guy that likes Virgin Island Water is spot on. It should cost 200 max. :)
I like when riveals the price "ohhh oh my god!!" 😱😂 But i'm a collector....and i understand the people when says "i'm not spend a lot of money for a scent" 😅
Lot more useful if the fragrance name was on the screen while they are discussing it. Hard to keep track and don't like having keep note pad at hand while watching a video

It's amazing to see how we are different. Once says this smells horrible, another says it's good. Try the fragrances before you buy.
Tressa just has that "It". Crazy charisma
Huh…I guess trying way too hard is charismatic to you…yikes
@@PremiumWater true that 😂
Thank you for your kind words! Unfortunately I am not trying too hard that’s just me ❤😂😊
Most def
@@tressachoukalas5164 you are a vibe, start making youtube videos in something please dear
I'd watch a show with Tressa out in the world making observations and saying stuff like, "Eww, no. Just no."
That would be quite the show lol 😂 Funny!!!
she's my fav too. Tomboys ftw!
The Scarface girl is a ray of sunshine, isn’t she?
Is that sarcasm?
@@danielwiles5869 does she come off as a ray of sunshine on this video to you?
Er, no.
Her voice is so annoying like she's trying too hard to not give a sh*t
Pretty sure Tressa is in every slasher movie I’ve ever seen. She’s always the first to go.. Whiskaay..
😂😂 truth
Yes scarface shirt girl is back!!! Thank you guys for listening to the viewers. We love her!!
We don't Love her.
Simp nation.
Jim normally has the most inconsistent nose in these vids, but he made the most accurate comment with Creed Virgin Island Water!
I'd love to see their reactions with some more daring stuff like Areej Le Dore, some Frederic Malle, Zoologist... that would be fun
Amouage Opus IX 😂😂
We need a round of autumn perfume: Ombre leather, Wanted by night, Jazz Club, By the Fireplace
Tressa is a whole mood 😂 ima need her to make her own channel asap. She could talk about anything and I’d watch lol
Not surprised by this, to the average person who isn’t into the love of fragrances niche will often be too much for them. There’s a reason the most popular fragrances are also the most boring and safe smells. The average person won’t understand niche
That’s why I only do mass appealing niche and top quality designers, I can’t be walking around smelling like skunk balls and atmosphere
This is exactly how I feel💀Niche that isn’t weird asf and high quality designer like Dior and Chanel is where it’s at. Get me a high quality scent that smells bomb, that’s it.
Please more niche fragrance blind testings. This group today is my favorite, they have quite good noses, like that.
It’s crazy to me how difficult for a fragrance to speak to everyone, like if the fragrance is light and “easy to like” then they don’t like it because it’s to generic but when someone smells something out of the ordinary it’s to much, to strong etc etc..
I knew immediately that Tressa would love Perceval based on the stuff she loved in the past vids (Sauvage) 😂
Yeah, PdM is an impostor in the niche fragrance world :D Leaning way too far to the designer, mass-appealing side.
I enjoy this series, one of my favorites!..And, Tressa? She will always "make the cut" for me! 😜 She's so scary when it comes to getting her opinion on a fragrance! Generally, I like the way this group describes the fragrances. Great job guys. My regards to "Mona Lisa". 👍
I usually don’t like Jim, but when he said “that’s a hundred percent a strip club… but a classy one”, I lost it 😂 always good content.
I'm in the same camp with Jimmy-boy here.
I wish they would revive this channel now that im more into frags than watches :'(
I’m glad someone liked Baraonda. This fragrance is sexy AF.
I think Chris absolutely KILLS every video! My favorite❤😊
Love to see you crating an account! Will you start making videos yourself?
@@wouter579 I am thinking so 🤯🥰
So Chris in Percival?
Lexie says everything smells floral 😂
I loveeee Lexie though..lol
yeah island water isnt floral at all haha
This helped me a lot! I have Percival, and my wife lives it. But she is VERY sensitive to colognes and perfumes, most give her headaches so it it's tricky.

You need to do this with AARON TERENCE HUGHES fragrances!!!

I have amouage. It's too strong and spicy. I don't like it on my body but I spray on curtains. It feels refreshing from distance.
Not sure I’ve smelt the. Lack iris version but interlude itself has got to be the worst fragrance I have ever smelled. I could smell it for days and it just smells of thick smoke.

online only
My grandma is rather specific. She could have been the one to run the strip club.
Yeah, it's a very cool brand, very unique. But sometimes a bit too much. Fantomas literally smells like melony plastic (I saw it with a 40% discount in my local store, nobody wanted it I guess, lol). But Baraonda, Duro, Narcotic V are amazing.
I just ordered Baraonda, it was on my buy list years ago but I didn’t want to drop $185 for a 30ml, you can get it right now for $112 shipped
Love these average blind tastings. Never know what you’re going to get and the opinions very across the board. Not really surprised with percival being the most liked here.
Tressa is the most perfect woman 🎉
Tressa is someone I could hang with. I just love her honest observations.
Tressa always killin it! 😎
Bang bang! 😊😂🥰

Maybe it's me, but the brightness of this video seems off. Like it's way too dim.
Nishane Ani 50ml was gifted to me 3 weeke ago. Just ordered a 100ml. It's that good. Crazy compliments!!
No surprise with Percival. But I love the variety in taste!
Why does percival smell like everything though? Mont blanc legend, abercrombie & fitch fierce, beckham respect, ajmal mystery, etc...
@@GrowingDownUnder Personally, I'm not a fan of the scent, but copying something popular has always been a good business move.

If thats their opinion on Interlude Black Iris, man are they in for a ride if they smelled the original Interlude.
I love these videos, you really see a spectrum of opinions and more than anything it highlights how subjective the perception of fragrance is. Get a fragrance to please yourself first and foremost
Always happy to see when one of these blind reactions is uploaded!
I like this. I love Niche fragrance & it’s great to get normal people’s opinions versus fragrance heads.
How many fragheads are thinking……”Come on Man!”….??…😂😂. Love this format.

Smart move putting Tressa on the thumbnail though
They know what they're doing ! Lol
I love the fact that we are so different :) there is nothing more subjective than perfume and the perception of it by our senses :)
I have Percival. Out of all my PDM fragrances, that would be the last 1 I reach for.
I enjoy these vids. Fascinating how every nose is so different. Surprised the popular Ani wasn't enjoyed by all. I believe you wear what you like. Never base a frag on house/price. Ever.
Tressa lookin sharp as f* 🔥 Those eyes kill me! 😍 But then she speaks this roughy style. It's like a putting salt on a sweet tasty cake. 😀 But i think i love it anyways.
Damn, that guy is obsessed with San Juan PR ;)
Thats why percival is first on my list. Just waiting on some good deal.
U will be waiting.or just buy legend
And the best niche fragrance is the one that smells pretty much like..... Axe Apollo. And I am not even surprised at all, people actually really like how many Axe products smell, as long as they don't know what it is.
Which one smells like Axe Apollo?
@@burner27 PDM Percival. They are both likely inspired by A&F Fierce
@@burner27 Percival. Of course not the same, but the basic feeling is similar.
this is awesome need more content like these soon
Is Ani really that polarizing?
Percival never disappoints!!!❤❤❤
put xerjof naxus its one of the best niche fragrances ever
You mean xurjaff noxis
Love me some Jerxoff Nexus
He means Noxus from the house of Xerffoj
Xarjeff noxass is great
The name is "Naxos"
You shouldn't have told them they were niche. These should be totally blind test reactions.
Homegirl with the thick glasses is so cute i could cry
I swear I've seen Tressa before. Downtown Cleveland?
Yep probably me! 😅🥰
@@tressachoukalas5164 😂🤣 Love it! The Flats!
"This kind of reminds me of Fierce", "I feel that you don't need to spend that much on a cologne" - right, so go for the cheaper buys like Montblanc Legend instead of Fierce or Pericval
Don't bleep out Tressa's words, please, it's not a tv. 😡 I want to enjoy her voice and hear her opininon 😍
You’re so sweet! ❤😂
6:17 wise man :o I mean percival is probably the best and high quality execution of that "abercrombie dna" but if you gonna buy a pdm might as well go for the heavy stuff...
Thar one guy trying to be funny is not helping. But the ladies and especially that one blonde (on thumbnail) really do help in helping us assess.
watching these videos all i can think is that i hope i could smell these fragrances while watching
I love the scarface girl she likes the same I like and she's straight up honest 😂
when there are designer fragrances there is usually a more obvious winner but here not so much. I think it says that niche is usually better quality but just about taste
Great reactions video. I knew Percival would win this as soon as Ibsaw the options.
I enjoy the music they use.
Baraonda is my favorite that I've smelled of this group.
It will probably be helpful to have the name of the perfume reviewed tag on the screen.
Oh yeah, finally niche! Keep it coming, guys! :)
Gotta ask... What does Tressa actually like?
Number one as favorit! My man!
Jim again... Hey let's randomly and totally coincidentally insert the word 'island' into this conversation. 😂
Where did you get Amouage Black iris as a tester?
they hating on my favorite fragrance, Ani is divine
I was shocked too. Like in what universe does Ani smell cheap?
do not pay retail for any of these, they cost about 50% less on grey markets
Need more videos like this
The girl in black has a good nose.
I just need to know who Chris's barber is, mans shape-up is immaculate.
Excellent video! Thanks!
Does Tressa have a channel?
I wish Virgin Island Water lasted longer.
I've tried some clones and they're pretty good. I'm gonna get Parfums Vintage Isla Tropical. Alexandria Fragrances Hawaii Volcano is good as well. They can't get that rum note just right though.
Good video, I'm always surprised how good descriptions some people that are totally not into fragrance can give. The guy that likes Virgin Island Water is spot on. It should cost 200 max. :)
Not even 100
I prefer Layton form PdM but that’s just my opinion.
Nice cut at the end 😆
Bro you can tell that at least 2 or more of the participants are actors
This video is a perfect example of why you have to buy perfume for yourself and your own enjoyment.
Jim rocking a Planet Ocean?
Who is the girl in the Scarface T shirt? She’s an attitude I’m all for
It's nice to see one person get it right.
does tressa have her own channel?
I like when riveals the price
"ohhh oh my god!!" 😱😂
But i'm a collector....and i understand the people when says "i'm not spend a lot of money for a scent" 😅
Lot more useful if the fragrance name was on the screen while they are discussing it. Hard to keep track and don't like having keep note pad at hand while watching a video
Nobody picked up coconut for virgin island water?
I watch these just for Tressa 😩🔥
very good production here
Again, just listing the ones that Tressa likes
This is like asking an average person to break down an NFL game
Yo when’s the winner of the 1000$ shopping spree going to be announced?
This was really good fun 👏
