Best performers in my collection. DHI. Givenchy RP. Boss Scent Absolute. MM Jazz Club. Guerlain LHIdeal Extreme. And weirdly Versace PH when it’s very warm out lasts forever on me. Weakest easily YSL L’Homme (which is annoying as it might be my favourite smelling) and D&G The One (which I’m cool with given it’s for intimate settings only!).
"Perfumance" does matter. Who wants to pay for a fleeting scent no matter how nice it is? Love my beast mode fragrances. Recommend Scentstory 24 Gold Oud Edition for cold weather. 24 hours of rich praline oud. Not a wallet buster either. Want your mind blown get Fantomas by Nasomatto. It'll get more compliments than probably any other frag you own. Last 24 hours. Very weird but it works. I love that stuff. My SOTD is The Woods Collection Royal Night. Great "perfumance" and wonderful scent. Keep it rolling Stuart, thank you.
Hey Stuart I totally i agree with you "dropping a bottle " instead of armaf Odyssey Homme I suggest you try Noir Endurance Eau De Parfum by Just Jack which is a subsidiary of Armaf better than the Odyssey Homme
Great list. I have some of these. To be fair I recently picked up the re-issue of Bath And Body Works designer clone dupe body sprays mists. They are mostly feminine designer scents. But they are beast mode and perform. They have Santal 33 and BR540 one which are unisex. The Hard Wood one I have. It's good. But BABW came out with Mahogany Teakwood line. I don't believe it's the same. Thanks for the list. Cheers.
Yes, I saw Mahogany Teakwood as well at the store and it's different although I have heard from a few others that the Original Mahogany Woods is available in store although I can't confirm it myself. I need to get back there.
If I had Naxos, it most certainly would have been in the video. I have about 50 niche fragrances (mostly decants) and so the channel skews more designer because I have about 5 or 6 times as many designers.
Noir Extreme? I bought my son a 5 Oz bottle at the cosmetics company, $125, and when I visit him I wear it. I like it a lot, but it seems weak in projection. Maybe I am hard of smelling, but some scents I can smell from a long distance so I don’t think it’s that.
It projects for me, but it's not a four or six foot projector, it's more a couple of feet ,but other than that have never had an issue with its performance.
I honestly never get good performance from Dior Sauvage EDT. I guess performance is subjective, but it's a skin scent within a couple hours for me. Purchased multiple bottles from retail store.
That's why Beast mode videos are tough because people's skin chemistry really varies from person to person. For some reason Hermes fragrances last forever on me unlike other people and fresh fragrances can die on my skin, so I hear you on that.
You actually get good performance with Dunhill Desire Red??? I love the scent, but for me, I get 2-3 hours at best. Noir Exteme is another one I wish performed better for me too, but again, I LOVE the scent! Maybe I just go nose blind with these 2?? 🤷♂️
Good video! Yes your right on frangrances featured! Um I believe you can get mahogany wood now in bath and body works,I see advertisement s for it and the others they carry which probably are good as well
Had the dunhill red gave to my buddy at work he gave it to his young son/i have nikos sculpture the blue "updated" one/ similar DNA so i didn't want another style of that... Im in my 40's
I blind bought the Dunhill Desire because I have a couple of other great ones from the house. This one smelled cheap and synthetic to me so I gave it away. Also performance was awful.
I agree as far as Valentino fragrances performing well. I own Born In Roma Yellow Dream and the performance is decent, giving me about 7 hours of the stuff.
I think you threw in that Sauvage for vid . views boost, Stuart 🙂..its like driving Chevy Cruze, telling the world, hey,look at me & my car, the Chevy....EVERYONe is using it...nothing special in my humble opinion..but, its only my opinion
I understand your thought process, however, only a fraction of the viewers are watching by the 8th Fragrance. Had Sauvage been in the top 3, you'd have been right, but to be fair to Sauvage it really is a great performer
I sprayed on some Dior Homme Parfum... and I think people in the year 2133 can smell it. POWER!
Ha ha ha. Power!!!

I hear you with the last two. Very frustrating because they both smell amazing.

Steve, you're always such a Gentleman. Thanks for the kind words.
Great list my friend. Happy thanksgiving to you.Cliff
Hey man, nice to hear from you Cliff. It's Saturday and I hope you had a great one!

Interesting. I'd never heard of that one. Thank you!

What about old school Grey Flannel via G. Bene?
I have actually tried that and yeah, beast mode.
I wear Absolutely to bed and can wake up to it. It's definitely a powerhouse.
I was expecting Naxos to be #1. That scent was still on my shirt a week after I forgot to send it to be washed.
If I had Naxos, it most certainly would have been in the video. I have about 50 niche fragrances (mostly decants) and so the channel skews more designer because I have about 5 or 6 times as many designers.

I have the Odyssey Pour Homme. Haven't cracked it open yet. Too many fragrances. Too little time. Haha.
I have been there man, ha ha.

Oh yeah, it lasts on me. The projection is what I like best though

Yeah, Cool Water Dave told me it's back which is great news. That DNA has grown on me a ton.
@ScentsofStyle99 yes ,have to stop by store to smell,like you said if it was inspired to try to clone.must be good?
Women love Hard Wood.
I saw your smile.

I hear you. I'm outside the norm for people my age because I really do like the bubblegum vibe
Dunhill? Are you sure? This is the first time I think you’ve mentioned a Dunhill scent. What’s next, a Chopard? 😊.
The curse of Oud Wood.....
I blind bought the Dunhill Desire because I have a couple of other great ones from the house. This one smelled cheap and synthetic to me so I gave it away. Also performance was awful.
I can understand the synthetic part but for me it performs well.

Loved wearing dunhill desire since it was released as a young kid it was like the replacement for joop homme at that time
Yes, I could see that. It has that level of sweetness.
