I was actually wearing Patchouli Dust today! It's also exactly what I wrote in my Fragrantica review. That's the one that made me go "ok, it's clear Ibrahim is a genius". I myself struggle with patchouli and somehow, it works here. The opening is bright, rosy and zesty, I barely get that mustiness I'd get from Pardon or Portrait (of a Lady). But what really stuns is that morphing through the wear. How Ibrahim pulled this off blows my mind. Truly a work of art. Thanks for a great maté talk as usual, Marcelo. :)
I'm so happy to see Penhaligon's in the spotlight again! Also I hope to see a Pana Dora discovery some day as the house really intrigues me. My only concern with Pana Dora is the type of oud they use, and whether it's too animalic
Yay! I just got my Discovery Set from Sospiro this afternoon and I can't wait to explore! Always looking forward to Mate Talk every week. And I'm considering Tagore as a full bottle when we head to Milan next Feb!! Hope you all are having a great week, Mr Marcelo! 🔥
I'm a Huge fanboy of Zaharoff. Pour Homme is an easy recommendation. It's not too loud. Not too subtle. It evolves Beautifully. To me, it's a 9.5/10. My second favorite Zaharoff, beaten only by Seraphim Blue, my all time favorite fragrance of all fragrances i've ever smelled. And i've smelled at least 300 fragrances (i have including decants almost 300 in my collection right now, not counting the once i've sold, tested in store or used up). Zaharoff Signature Seraphim Blue is a Perfect 10/10. The new Seraphim Red is Stunning as well. Seraphim Blue and Red is a Must try for any niche fragrance lover.
Hola Marcelo...thanks for my shout as well as Katherine's. All of these sound wonderful, but I have a fragrance embargo in place until the Milan adventure. Boom baby!
Great selections here Marcelo. I’ve had a few Mizensir for some time and really enjoy them. Sniffed the “aged” Absolu Aventus yesterday but wasn’t able to compare to their Absolu.👍👍👍👍👍
Very insightful video marcello! Thank you very much. I wil try the penhaligons one! Yesterday i tested mr. Sam❤. I did no like absolu a. Too much. Aventus cologne is worth the price but AA mmmhhhhh.... maybe not... cheers!!!!
Absolutely Juan; big recommendation to check out the Zaharoff range. There's some really big hitting fragrances in the library...I would start off with Pour Homme; it's awesome♥️ Great to hear from you homie👊🏽
Xerjoff Tony Iommi Monkey Special ... This gets me so many compliments! The boozy, fruity, patchouli caramel bomb is an absolute winner and was my wedding day scent.
I'm in love with everything Nasomatto, but Pardon is definitely in my top 5, if not top 3. Such a pleasant and easy-going fragrance. When can we expect the "Marcelo All-Time Top 50"?
If you were given a chance to collaborate with a house to realize the fantasy fragrance, which one do you think would give it justice, in terms of your vision with it?
Layton Exclusif is very particular. The animalic opening can rub some people the wrong way. I went in expecting Layton DNA with some Oud and boy was I suprised. That almondy sweet civet in the opening can be a lot but all in all it’s not a bad fragrance
@ Yeah, I guess it all comes down to preferences, but I don’t smell anything animalic in there. The oud they use is pretty smooth and westernized. On the other hand regular Layton is also amazing and well performed yet somewhat it also gets overlooked.
I enjoyed it but you babble on way too much and I’m just fast forwarding. I enjoy when you and Kevin are together because he gets to the point with the fragrance
Yep, I hear you🙄 Mate Talks are like a raft that's slow moving down a river (we'll get there, when we get there😬) I always wanted these to be a 'real' moment in time. No cuts, not a lot of notes in preparation; just friends talking...but I also respect that it's not a style for everyone. I agree that the episodes with Kevin are punchier, plus we get the chance to bounce off each other throughout the conversation. I think that my 'Line Up' productions might also be in line with what you would prefer: th-cam.com/play/PLl2get-JHWtd5jnKmRwsYrt9cjPeAM7u0.html Thanks for jumping into the conversation @2007linay; awesome to gain your thoughts💫
Graham, this was the first comment I read this morning and had to laugh😅 For starters, stay with us Homie🙏🏽 secondly, why? Why did I nearly snuff out the light in you!!?😭
Yes, I hear you😬 Mate Talks are like a slow moving river.....it meanders into all sorts of places🥳 I do have content that is a lot more 'compact' and to the point. I even have 2 Minute breakdowns that really get to the point fast!⚡️ I've broken everything into Playlists so you can navigate quickly. I love creating a variety of styles....that way you guys can choose what to watch💫 Thanks for reaching out @nasirsuleiman2147, awesome to connect👊🏽
I have watched, and enjoyed a lot of your videos, but, what I'm after is information and your opinion. (which I value) Not watch you drink, and listen to uninteresting stories. I hope this will be constructive for you as you are obviously very knowledgeable in perfume. I look forward to your next video.
Great episode Marcelo and awesome recommendations. Could you do your recommendations of fragrances for high heat? I have been trying to nail this but I have not been very successful! Its wired because fresh perfumes are common. 🫶😊
I rate it. Plus it's interesting out of all the ones that I tested on my friend this also instantly pinged for him....I always love recommending Aventus for anyone new to niche. It's a classic ♥️ Great to hear from you @Kasper-x3s, thanks for jumping into the conversation💫
Yay, so happy Pana Doras Patchouli Dust made It's way to the spotligt😊. It's one of my absolutely top 5 favorites from the House. Great vid as always!

my 3 recommendations for good masculine headturner fragrances are :
amouage overture man
tom ford tobacco oud
and creed royal oud
I'm so happy to see Penhaligon's in the spotlight again! Also I hope to see a Pana Dora discovery some day as the house really intrigues me. My only concern with Pana Dora is the type of oud they use, and whether it's too animalic
You always bring a diverse list that is not the same hyped fragrances. Thank you.

Hello Marecelo, great selection. I ❤❤ pardon. Amazing stuff. Pure magic in a bottle.
Love your video's! I just sit down and relax with you. And pardon is one of my favorites❤
Hola Marcelo...thanks for my shout as well as Katherine's. All of these sound wonderful, but I have a fragrance embargo in place until the Milan adventure. Boom baby!
🙏🏻 Thank you for the shout out! Love your take on these.
Also, just ordered the Sospiro discovery set. My favorite is Dolce Melodia so I’m excited to learn more.
Great selections here Marcelo. I’ve had a few Mizensir for some time and really enjoy them. Sniffed the “aged” Absolu Aventus yesterday but wasn’t able to compare to their Absolu.👍👍👍👍👍
„hueleme mucho“ told pretty much the exact same story about the friend he recommended nasomatto pardon to ☺️
I’ve been enjoying Cairo and The Dandy by Penhaligons recently
Very insightful video marcello! Thank you very much. I wil try the penhaligons one! Yesterday i tested mr. Sam❤. I did no like absolu a. Too much. Aventus cologne is worth the price but AA mmmhhhhh.... maybe not... cheers!!!!
Yes, homie, Pardon is a gorgeous fragrance. Zaharoff is a house I need to try 👊🏽
Absolutely Juan; big recommendation to check out the Zaharoff range. There's some really big hitting fragrances in the library...I would start off with Pour Homme; it's awesome♥️
Great to hear from you homie👊🏽
@ I’m going to try that.
Xerjoff Tony Iommi Monkey Special ... This gets me so many compliments! The boozy, fruity, patchouli caramel bomb is an absolute winner and was my wedding day scent.
I'm in love with everything Nasomatto, but Pardon is definitely in my top 5, if not top 3. Such a pleasant and easy-going fragrance.
When can we expect the "Marcelo All-Time Top 50"?
My list would be Vinegia 21 by Merchant of Venice, Mizensir Perfect Oud, Houbigant Ambre des abysses, Initio Side Effect and LV Ombre Nomade.
I really appreciate the sudden anime touches in the background XD. Who's the anime-fan in your house?
Xerjoff Fiero is definitely a head turner
Marcelo thanks for the wonderful videos could you do a review on the fragrances house of Electimuss London they have some gems like Spice D arno
If you were given a chance to collaborate with a house to realize the fantasy fragrance, which one do you think would give it justice, in terms of your vision with it?
Great ❤
Creed Aventus is the Bret Hart of perfumery. The best there is
The best there was
The best there ever will be!
How come that Layton Exclusif from Parfums de Marley doesn’t get enough recognition? It is one of the best out there for me.
Layton Exclusif is very particular. The animalic opening can rub some people the wrong way. I went in expecting Layton DNA with some Oud and boy was I suprised. That almondy sweet civet in the opening can be a lot but all in all it’s not a bad fragrance
@ Yeah, I guess it all comes down to preferences, but I don’t smell anything animalic in there. The oud they use is pretty smooth and westernized. On the other hand regular Layton is also amazing and well performed yet somewhat it also gets overlooked.
Is it just me or is it hard to turn a lady’s head without a single floral note?
Aventus turned heads bigtime and it had no florals…
It’s a very good day! so happy 🥹
👍👍👍

Are you a One Piece fan??
Yes Sir💫 That's Zoro behind me😎 (he's got my back)
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector You are a goddamn legend. My gf was Zoro for halloween. Love you more and more every day
Pardon.
Sorry, I've lost the will to live on this one.
Graham, this was the first comment I read this morning and had to laugh😅

Great list but I wish you just go straight to the point, your video is too long.

Aventus? Really. The most boring choice for the last 10 years.
I have watched, and enjoyed a lot of your videos, but, what I'm after is information and your opinion. (which I value) Not watch you drink, and listen to uninteresting stories. I hope this will be constructive for you as you are obviously very knowledgeable in perfume. I look forward to your next video.
I’m drinking a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon from chile.
It’s not too bad.
Love the video 👍🏼
CREED IS THE MOST OVERRATED FRAGRANCE BRAND I'VE EVER KNOWN!! WILL NEVER PAY THE PRICE THEY SELLING FOR.
Facts! There are some many niche fragrances houses out there with way better scents, packaging, projection and longevity. And at half the price!
@@2luvrufan Well said!
Until you own and wear green Irish tweed regularly 😮
I do slightly agree with you tho about most of that price range being predatory
Peasants.
Great episode Marcelo and awesome recommendations. Could you do your recommendations of fragrances for high heat? I have been trying to nail this but I have not been very successful! Its wired because fresh perfumes are common. 🫶😊
