i am a guy and 100% love Erba Pura. On my skin the fruit is lowkey, and the light musk pulls through in a wonderful way. It smells clean, slightly fruity, and gentle musk with me. It is one of my favs for my casual days.
Yep, I totally agree with you @neph13....this is an awesome fragrance and I too love wearing it. There's some thing unique and magical about this fragrance over cooler weather (makes me happy🧡) Thanks for reaching out....great to hear from you
I bought Italica for my big 60 birthday. I love it. I didn't not know the history of Casamorati, interesting. I've put it away, awaiting the proper weather (it's 85 degrees today). I didn't realize Erba Pura was gourmand. Love that chart. I must try it.
Great to hear from you @rox w and congrats an awesome purchase with Italica....how beautiful is this fragrance❤️ I was being cheeky in placing Erba Pura in the line up...yes it has 'edible' notes with the heavy fruit scents but in truth its a Fruity Floral. I just love this fragrance that I wanted an excuse to talk about it (especially since I don't own a lot of other 'fruity florals' that I could create a line up just for this category) Thank you for jumping into the conversation, wonderful to hear from you
I love gourmands the most as well. I wouldn't call Erba Pura a gourmand though. Personal favorites: Sultan, Lune Feline, Sweetie Aoud, Black Phantom, and Intoxicated.
Awesome Gourmand suggestions @Divine; love this line up. And yes, totally agree that Erba Pura isn't a Gourmand....I just wanted the excuse to talk about it😇...great to hear from you
Love the long-form video format Marcello! Not only was it an enjoyable watch over my morning coffee, but will definitely be bookmarked as invaluable reference to some of these brands you introduce us to 👍. Owning Italica myself, your description is spot on - it is such a fun fragrance to wear 🍰
Thank Max. I know that it's a commitment to watch these long form episodes but I also feel that I really want to get 'under the skin' of these perfumes rather than rush through them (I also place chapter marks so it makes it easier to move on) and as you mentioned, ideally it helps as a reference for future testing 😉 And yes, Italic is fun to wear.....interesting that you feel the same way (I know for me it reminds me of Italy and being in Italy) Great to hear from you mate👊🏽

Hi brother, I love this series! Myself, I have Rake and Ruin and Vi Et Armis from Beaufort and I adore them. These are the real Pirates' perfumes I feel. Smoke, Gunpower and Rum etc. I want to try Enigma by Roja from this list!
Ah, gourmands! Exuding the delicious aura of one who, overcome with amourous desires worthy of featuring in 'Le Grand Boef', has been enraptured in the throes of passion with a luxurious dessert trolley ❤️🔥🍰. Italica is a stunner, just like walking into Brunetti's in Melbourne when they have fresh pastries out of the oven. My favourite recently has been Xerjoff's Via Cavour 1; the peach, quince, red berries and oud give it a brilliant contrast to the ambery, vanillic, patchouli-chocolate, caramel sweetness, which would otherwise be too much, to make the whole thing just so delicious and substantial (thanks again Chris Maurice).

This is my first time coming across your content but I already see myself getting hooked just by your sheer passion and background knowledge of fragrances, also your explanation is so captivating and done in a story like manner, I love it. I’ll very much love to know your thoughts on the new fragrance by Elon Musk ’Burnt Hair’, thank you.
Awesome to connect @Shaquille and so happy that you've come across the channel...welcome! I did see that Elon released a new fragrance, but wonder if more of the 'media stunt' work that Elon loves doing...or if it's a genuine entry into niche??🤔 But yes, my curiosity has been peaked by his marketing catch cry of "Just like leaning over a candle at the dinner table, but without all the hard work”😕
That would be the heliotrope in Naxos which isn't listed, but I would swear is in there (heliotrope also has a sort of 'rounding off' effect on vanilla which I'm sure I pick up).
Ummm, maybe I've already had these 😬 I stayed in the town of Taormina for 7 nights and there was an incredible bakery around the corner from the apartment; every morning with a Maté....life could not have been better😇
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Taormina is amazing, isn’t it? I live in Germany, but I used to spend my summer holidays in Giardini-Naxos (as you know, near Taormina) for more than 3 decades. Hence why “Naxos” is a must for me. 😎
I've only tested Herod once...would you believe it!!! I love your description that I need to give this fragrance another go. Thanks for sharing @Freddy, great to hear from you
Last year, I went to Oligarch to find a gorgeous gourmand. It came down to 2 scents…Lira and Italica. I chose Lira, but had to make the trip down on Christmas Eve to pick up Italica. I also smell a bit of a jam like note, and with the milky almond goodness, I had to have it for Christmas. I’m definitely keen to hunt down some of your other recommendations!
Awesome choice with Lira @InfiShort 01...this is another incredible gourmand by Casamorati. I love that you can detect a jam note in Italica...next time I spray I'll look out for signs of this too. Great to hear from you, appreciate you sharing
I noticed that one of my local perfume stores carries loumari almeria...I'm going to have to test this out. Nilafar is yet to come to Australia, but I had a look at the notes in this fragrance and it sounds amazing....so many beautiful fragrance's out there!! Great to hear from you Jack, thanks for reaching out💫
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector if you love almonds then Almeria will make you happy,as for nilafar du nil I own nilufer an intoxicating gourmand fougere edp (extrait)and quite cheap too!I live in western Canada and payed 165cad including the delivery all the way from Egypt! Keep up the good work 👍
I am a big fan of the Bond No9 fragrance's. I'm yet to try out New Haarlem. I just had a look at the notes in this one and it looks amazing, definitely something that I would enjoy. Thanks for reaching out @Mr Mike, great to hear from you
EYE DO OWN CREATION E...IMO A MASTERPIECE...ERBA PURA EYE LUV AZ WELL...LEANZ FEMME ADMITTEDLY BUT EYE LUV IT....MAN DAT ARABICA PERFUME HAZ ME INTRIGUED... NICE LINEUP OF SAUCES
Good to hear from you Julio and yes Arabica is incredible....you would love it (very unique fragrance) And yes both Creation E and Erba Pura are magic....fun to wear these fragrances
Where is see Erba Pura fitting in gourmand category is a fruit sickle but I love Montale intense cafe, givency Pi, royal Oud is sorta gourmandy as well
I love that I hit a raw nerve with putting Erba Pura in the line up😬 I've had a few other subscribers make the same comment. I actually did it for a bit of fun and because I really wanted to talk about it (I really love this fragrance)....but yes, I agree it's not a Gourmand, it's definitely a fruity floral. I love Intense Cafe...indeed a true gourmand. Royal Oud🤨...are you doing my trick??😉 Great to hear from you Lanny, thanks for jumping into the conversation
When I first started collecting fragrances I was always into freshies and nothing else. As I grew older, I developed a “taste” for different types of fragrances and IMO you have to have your gourmands. I still love my freshies thou 😁...My favorite gourmand fragrance is Kilian Black Phantom.
I think we all start in the 'freshie'/aromatic part of the fragrance families but as you mentioned Juan, as our nose 'matures' and develops we can appreciate the complexity and nuance's that exist in the other fragrance families and there's no going back! Well on a nice summery day, it's nice to wear those freshies then😎 Great to hear from you my friend and yes Kilian Black Phantom is awesome🖤
Yes! Lira is gorgeous and the perfect vanilla fragrance....beautifully unique. It was so hard limiting to only 8 fragrance's for this line up; I think I need to create a Vanilla 2.0😎💫 Thanks for reaching out Chiara....very much appreciate the support👊🏽
I hear about many ppls says erba pura smells synthetic but for me it isnt, it smells like a lot of fruit, a fruit salad with a touch of florals, hopefully i do not get flowers that much from erba and that is perfect for me.
I haven’t tried any of those but erba pura has been sounding interesting to me lately. I’ve recently heard there are similarities (not a clone) to the new God of Fire which I just picked up and really enjoy! Not sure if it would be redundant to have both so will have to get a sample one day. They have different notes so it may be worth it. Also, I get the same “more feminine” vibe with God of Fire but I love it so I know from that perspective I’d have no issues with Erba Pura. Hope all is well Marcelo!
I'm yet to experience the Stéphane Humbert Lucas fragrance's as we don't get them here in Australia (well not in a retail outlet). I just had a look on Fragrantica and I can see that it does have a bright fruity opening in particular a mango; so yes would be interesting to see these fragrance's side by side....I'll wait for your report on this😉 Great to hear from you Jaime, thanks for jumping into the conversation
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector it’s difficult to get here in the U.S. as well, I had to order from the U.K. but it was worth it! Bright fruity opening indeed and the mango is great. Definitely going to be a great summer scent but I’ll probably pull it out on any warmer Fall days too, but as the temps start to drop I’ve been enjoying my warmer deeper fragrances that I’ve been looking forward to all summer haha
Hmmm, feel like it's "Sophie's Choice" 😬 is there any way to choose both?? Interestingly, as I thought which one do I reach for more often, I'm sorry to say, both are equal. Ok, then I need to come at this from a different angle 🤔 If I think of my family and the response I get when I'm wearing these. I get more reactions when I'm wearing Clive Christian V. Voila💫 Hope that helps Bryan😎
I tried Erba Pura recently. The opening is too sweet n fruity but drydown is really nice and last forever. Ladies love it when i wore it to work recently 😂
Yes, the opening is intense and very fruity (but in the end you get use to this opening and it becomes the joyous moment of the fragrance!) Thanks for sharing your experience with this Jeffrey; love it!💫
Great question! For me this comfortably unisex. I love wearing this and my sister also rocks this fragrance; if you love sweet notes (think maple syrup, warm, caramel vibes) then this is "Pure Magic"💫 Always recommend that you test first and how this fragrance will work on you. Awesome to hear from you @natalyk.1296, thanks for reaching out
I had fallen in love with Pure Nectar by Dua, (don’t roll your eyes at me MarCHello), so ordered the real thing. What landed on my skin was not Pure Nectar - I thought I’d been had! Florals?! In my fruity-musk thing? It developed into the scent you so wonderfully described and was my introduction into non-linear perfumes. (I had a number of niche by that point…but fragrances like BR540, which I love, and Aventus are showers not growers IMO.) As we discussed before with Terroni, my skin is where beastmode goes to die, so I was also pleasantly surprised that EP sticks around even on me.
I didn't roll my eyes, I laughed 😬😂 So happy that you like Erba Pura. In my family I'm the only man that enjoys wearing this one. My 2 sons can't stand it....I LOVE IT!! So many layers and nuance's the fragrance just dance's around; it's awesome Great to hear from you Douglas; thanks for reaching out and jumping into this conversation👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector It has been a while - I’m self-employed but my boss has been working me like a rented mule. As far as EP goes, I’m sure your sons will come around, they come from good stock. Question for ya…I’m thinking of engaging a “signature scent” at work, which is a foreign concept to me. I don’t want to challenge my patients and am looking for a likable scent that still exudes authority. GIT and Duro are front runners. The former doesn’t last on me but I do love that one hour. I will value any thoughts or suggestions you offer my friend. Have you done a video on “Boss” scents?
I can't help my self😂 it's about the full experience! And yes, totally understand about the overt fruitiness of Erba Pura....Naxos is divine and a great replacement Great to hear from you @r4u👊
I caught up with Kevin today. I'm wearing Arabica and first thing he said was "whoa bro, you smell good....what's that!?"😎 It's an awesome fragrance; love wearing this one Good to hear from you Manjula
Do you have a video on how to apply fragrances? When applying fragrances at a distance of 4-6 inches (every atomizer seems to be different) should you move the atomizer across the skin in a sweeping motion or keep it the atomizer stationary, when spraying on your desired pulse point/location?
Great to hear from you Robert...hoping you're well mate👊🏽 ABC Australia did a piece with me over this subject: th-cam.com/video/cRLLDVXMPj0/w-d-xo.html I covered where not to spray and the best places that I like to spray....hope that helps Robert Wishing you the best over this Christmas period💫🎄
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Your ABC Australia video on applying fragrances was helpful. I would appreciate if you can post this video on this channel for other people to enjoy
@@RobertLaTuso Thanks Robert...I like your idea on posting it on the channel. I'll see if the ABC would allow me to post it on the channel...if not, then it's clear that I should create an episode on this. Great to hear from you
The problem with E from Clive Christian is that many people said its like Black Phantom from Kilian, which i hated and gave away. Do you know how similar they are?
I don't personally don't get that. I feel that Black Phantom has more of a chocolate vibe, whereas 'E' has this maple syrup, spicy vibe to it. Personally I reach more often for 'E' than I do for Black Phantom, plus I get more people notice and compliment me when I'm wearing 'E'. Have a look at this blind test I did with Carolina in which she smelled E and her response to it:th-cam.com/video/pwbKK2yyIDo/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps @Crimson Clover, great to hear from you💫

Haven't had the chance to test out Lune Feline. I had a quick look at the notes and this one looks interesting....great to hear from you @Nick Z thanks for sharing
I do not think that Erba Pura is femenin; I find it 100% unisex. It is one of the best fragrances ever created. Dolce Amalfi is another to consider, as are some Pazzaglia extraits! What to say about Enigma... a great disappointment. My worst blind buy.
Great to hear from you Pablo and the big surprise for me is your comment on Enigma!😧 Curious to know why it missed the mark for you so badly!!? Thanks as always for jumping into the conversation and sharing 👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Thanks, Marcelo! It's a good perfume, but when it comes to Roja, I always have very high expectations, which are almost never met! In this particular one, there is a note that I cannot identify (something usual when I try Roja Parfums, hard to identify notes in his creations) that I dislike at the opening, but after half an hour, it smells good. Also, although he left Guerlain some years ago, you can smell the Guerlain spirit hidden there!!!
i am not peter i am womani did wrout you a lot when youtalk about accento, but Beaufort london i i have all it means nothing out of order, Fantom V, iron .....etc it means i hope much more cause 76 percent by lataffa or , yes bought as well, but people dont hate me my toilettis full of them, i am not posh, but when i spray ...it was, save your money and buy masterpiece s.

I did see that Elon released a new fragrance, but wonder if more of the 'media stunt' work that Elon loves doing...or if it's a genuine entry into niche??🤔 But yes, my curiosity has been peaked by his marketing catch cry of "Just like leaning over a candle at the dinner table, but without all the hard work”😕
If you like almond-based pastries, please try “paste di mandorla” from Sicily. You can also get them in Naxos.😉
That would be the heliotrope in Naxos which isn't listed, but I would swear is in there (heliotrope also has a sort of 'rounding off' effect on vanilla which I'm sure I pick up).
Ummm, maybe I've already had these 😬 I stayed in the town of Taormina for 7 nights and there was an incredible bakery around the corner from the apartment; every morning with a Maté....life could not have been better😇
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Taormina is amazing, isn’t it? I live in Germany, but I used to spend my summer holidays in Giardini-Naxos (as you know, near Taormina) for more than 3 decades. Hence why “Naxos” is a must for me. 😎
I miss Herod by Parfumes de Marly. That one reminds me on christman markets with all the sweets u get in winter season. Rly nice Winter Fragrance
I've only tested Herod once...would you believe it!!! I love your description that I need to give this fragrance another go.
Thanks for sharing @Freddy, great to hear from you
I love your videos, they are so relaxing
Thank you @Shawn for the kind words my friend👊🏽 appreciate the support💫
Last year, I went to Oligarch to find a gorgeous gourmand. It came down to 2 scents…Lira and Italica. I chose Lira, but had to make the trip down on Christmas Eve to pick up Italica. I also smell a bit of a jam like note, and with the milky almond goodness, I had to have it for Christmas. I’m definitely keen to hunt down some of your other recommendations!
Awesome choice with Lira @InfiShort 01...this is another incredible gourmand by Casamorati.
I love that you can detect a jam note in Italica...next time I spray I'll look out for signs of this too.
Great to hear from you, appreciate you sharing
Loved this video thumbs up
Thank you Bryan👊🏽 greatly appreciate you reaching out and for the words of encouragement....thank you my friend💫
I’m obsessed with nilafar du nil and loumari almeria💙
I noticed that one of my local perfume stores carries loumari almeria...I'm going to have to test this out.
Nilafar is yet to come to Australia, but I had a look at the notes in this fragrance and it sounds amazing....so many beautiful fragrance's out there!!
Great to hear from you Jack, thanks for reaching out💫
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector if you love almonds then Almeria will make you happy,as for nilafar du nil I own nilufer an intoxicating gourmand fougere edp (extrait)and quite cheap too!I live in western Canada and payed 165cad including the delivery all the way from Egypt!
Keep up the good work 👍
Nice list my friend! If you like the Clive try the re released New Haarlem by Bond No 9.
I am a big fan of the Bond No9 fragrance's. I'm yet to try out New Haarlem. I just had a look at the notes in this one and it looks amazing, definitely something that I would enjoy.
Thanks for reaching out @Mr Mike, great to hear from you
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector anytime my friend!
EYE DO OWN CREATION E...IMO A MASTERPIECE...ERBA PURA EYE LUV AZ WELL...LEANZ FEMME ADMITTEDLY BUT EYE LUV IT....MAN DAT ARABICA PERFUME HAZ ME INTRIGUED...
NICE LINEUP OF SAUCES
Good to hear from you Julio and yes Arabica is incredible....you would love it (very unique fragrance)
And yes both Creation E and Erba Pura are magic....fun to wear these fragrances
Where is see Erba Pura fitting in gourmand category is a fruit sickle but I love Montale intense cafe, givency Pi, royal Oud is sorta gourmandy as well
I love that I hit a raw nerve with putting Erba Pura in the line up😬 I've had a few other subscribers make the same comment.
I actually did it for a bit of fun and because I really wanted to talk about it (I really love this fragrance)....but yes, I agree it's not a Gourmand, it's definitely a fruity floral.
I love Intense Cafe...indeed a true gourmand.
Royal Oud🤨...are you doing my trick??😉
Great to hear from you Lanny, thanks for jumping into the conversation
When I first started collecting fragrances I was always into freshies and nothing else. As I grew older, I developed a “taste” for different types of fragrances and IMO you have to have your gourmands. I still love my freshies thou 😁...My favorite gourmand fragrance is Kilian Black Phantom.
I think we all start in the 'freshie'/aromatic part of the fragrance families but as you mentioned Juan, as our nose 'matures' and develops we can appreciate the complexity and nuance's that exist in the other fragrance families and there's no going back! Well on a nice summery day, it's nice to wear those freshies then😎
Great to hear from you my friend and yes Kilian Black Phantom is awesome🖤
Hi Marcelo, what do you thing of Xerjoff's Casamorati Lira?
Yes! Lira is gorgeous and the perfect vanilla fragrance....beautifully unique. It was so hard limiting to only 8 fragrance's for this line up; I think I need to create a Vanilla 2.0😎💫
Thanks for reaching out Chiara....very much appreciate the support👊🏽
I hear about many ppls says erba pura smells synthetic but for me it isnt, it smells like a lot of fruit, a fruit salad with a touch of florals, hopefully i do not get flowers that much from erba and that is perfect for me.
I haven’t tried any of those but erba pura has been sounding interesting to me lately. I’ve recently heard there are similarities (not a clone) to the new God of Fire which I just picked up and really enjoy! Not sure if it would be redundant to have both so will have to get a sample one day. They have different notes so it may be worth it.
Also, I get the same “more feminine” vibe with God of Fire but I love it so I know from that perspective I’d have no issues with Erba Pura.
Hope all is well Marcelo!
I'm yet to experience the Stéphane Humbert Lucas fragrance's as we don't get them here in Australia (well not in a retail outlet). I just had a look on Fragrantica and I can see that it does have a bright fruity opening in particular a mango; so yes would be interesting to see these fragrance's side by side....I'll wait for your report on this😉
Great to hear from you Jaime, thanks for jumping into the conversation
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector it’s difficult to get here in the U.S. as well, I had to order from the U.K. but it was worth it! Bright fruity opening indeed and the mango is great. Definitely going to be a great summer scent but I’ll probably pull it out on any warmer Fall days too, but as the temps start to drop I’ve been enjoying my warmer deeper fragrances that I’ve been looking forward to all summer haha
Hello which one is better for you, clive V or the italica? Thanks
Hmmm, feel like it's "Sophie's Choice" 😬 is there any way to choose both??
Interestingly, as I thought which one do I reach for more often, I'm sorry to say, both are equal.
Ok, then I need to come at this from a different angle 🤔 If I think of my family and the response I get when I'm wearing these. I get more reactions when I'm wearing Clive Christian V.
Voila💫 Hope that helps Bryan😎
I tried Erba Pura recently. The opening is too sweet n fruity but drydown is really nice and last forever. Ladies love it when i wore it to work recently 😂
Yes, the opening is intense and very fruity (but in the end you get use to this opening and it becomes the joyous moment of the fragrance!)
Thanks for sharing your experience with this Jeffrey; love it!💫
Would you say that Clive C. Gourmand is masculine leaning or could be perfectly unisex? Thank you for your opinion
Great question! For me this comfortably unisex. I love wearing this and my sister also rocks this fragrance; if you love sweet notes (think maple syrup, warm, caramel vibes) then this is "Pure Magic"💫
Always recommend that you test first and how this fragrance will work on you.
Awesome to hear from you @natalyk.1296, thanks for reaching out
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector ❤️
I had fallen in love with Pure Nectar by Dua, (don’t roll your eyes at me MarCHello), so ordered the real thing. What landed on my skin was not Pure Nectar - I thought I’d been had! Florals?! In my fruity-musk thing? It developed into the scent you so wonderfully described and was my introduction into non-linear perfumes. (I had a number of niche by that point…but fragrances like BR540, which I love, and Aventus are showers not growers IMO.) As we discussed before with Terroni, my skin is where beastmode goes to die, so I was also pleasantly surprised that EP sticks around even on me.
I didn't roll my eyes, I laughed 😬😂
So happy that you like Erba Pura. In my family I'm the only man that enjoys wearing this one. My 2 sons can't stand it....I LOVE IT!! So many layers and nuance's the fragrance just dance's around; it's awesome
Great to hear from you Douglas; thanks for reaching out and jumping into this conversation👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector It has been a while - I’m self-employed but my boss has been working me like a rented mule. As far as EP goes, I’m sure your sons will come around, they come from good stock. Question for ya…I’m thinking of engaging a “signature scent” at work, which is a foreign concept to me. I don’t want to challenge my patients and am looking for a likable scent that still exudes authority. GIT and Duro are front runners. The former doesn’t last on me but I do love that one hour. I will value any thoughts or suggestions you offer my friend. Have you done a video on “Boss” scents?
Dior Feve Delicieuse is also very nice.
I haven't had a chance to test this one. Thank you for including this in the mix.
Awesome to hear from you @dorf2070
I have to see, touch, and smell. 😅 Oh yes, Erba Pura is not for me (too fruity etc.), I’ll go for Naxos instead.
I can't help my self😂 it's about the full experience! And yes, totally understand about the overt fruitiness of Erba Pura....Naxos is divine and a great replacement
Great to hear from you @r4u👊
Arabica sounds 👏
I caught up with Kevin today. I'm wearing Arabica and first thing he said was "whoa bro, you smell good....what's that!?"😎
It's an awesome fragrance; love wearing this one
Good to hear from you Manjula
Do you have a video on how to apply fragrances? When applying fragrances at a distance of 4-6 inches (every atomizer seems to be different) should you move the atomizer across the skin in a sweeping motion or keep it the atomizer stationary, when spraying on your desired pulse point/location?
Great to hear from you Robert...hoping you're well mate👊🏽
ABC Australia did a piece with me over this subject: th-cam.com/video/cRLLDVXMPj0/w-d-xo.html
I covered where not to spray and the best places that I like to spray....hope that helps Robert
Wishing you the best over this Christmas period💫🎄
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Thank You! Merry Christmas 🎁
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Your ABC Australia video on applying fragrances was helpful. I would appreciate if you can post this video on this channel for other people to enjoy
@@RobertLaTuso Thanks Robert...I like your idea on posting it on the channel. I'll see if the ABC would allow me to post it on the channel...if not, then it's clear that I should create an episode on this.
Great to hear from you
Amazing Video Marcheello. You should start a Patreon, I would love to support you!
Thank you FAZZDOG27😎 You've got my brain thinking😬
The problem with E from Clive Christian is that many people said its like Black Phantom from Kilian, which i hated and gave away. Do you know how similar they are?
I don't personally don't get that. I feel that Black Phantom has more of a chocolate vibe, whereas 'E' has this maple syrup, spicy vibe to it.
Personally I reach more often for 'E' than I do for Black Phantom, plus I get more people notice and compliment me when I'm wearing 'E'.
Have a look at this blind test I did with Carolina in which she smelled E and her response to it:th-cam.com/video/pwbKK2yyIDo/w-d-xo.html
Hope this helps @Crimson Clover, great to hear from you💫
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Thank you so much for your reply, i found some Clive Christian private collection on discount and its going to be a blind buy so ireally needed the input
@@hojubaby Welcome! Good luck and fingers crossed!!🙏🏼
When you mention a financier, are you a company/brand yourself?
Sorry this is an inside joke (for the subscriber base) that I’ve had running on the channel for the past year or so😬
“My Financier” is in fact my wife 🥳 she’s the one that I have to pitch to, in order to spend on more perfumes 😂
I recently blind bought some thing from Xerjoff and created this video: th-cam.com/video/H_rczb3Xw6g/w-d-xo.html

Wow!!!!!
Thank you!
I want to love Lune Feline, but the Smokey note makes me nauseated sometimes
Haven't had the chance to test out Lune Feline. I had a quick look at the notes and this one looks interesting....great to hear from you @Nick Z thanks for sharing
Would not call Erba Pura and Even Enigma a Gourmand !! I would like to add Roja Sweetie Aoud and Black Phantom
Awesome to hear from you @GDias; thank you for your 2 inclusions....both are incredibly awesome Gourmands.
Thanks for jumping into the conversation💫
I do not think that Erba Pura is femenin; I find it 100% unisex. It is one of the best fragrances ever created. Dolce Amalfi is another to consider, as are some Pazzaglia extraits! What to say about Enigma... a great disappointment. My worst blind buy.
Great to hear from you Pablo and the big surprise for me is your comment on Enigma!😧
Curious to know why it missed the mark for you so badly!!?
Thanks as always for jumping into the conversation and sharing 👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Thanks, Marcelo! It's a good perfume, but when it comes to Roja, I always have very high expectations, which are almost never met! In this particular one, there is a note that I cannot identify (something usual when I try Roja Parfums, hard to identify notes in his creations) that I dislike at the opening, but after half an hour, it smells good. Also, although he left Guerlain some years ago, you can smell the Guerlain spirit hidden there!!!
i am not peter i am womani did wrout you a lot when youtalk about accento, but Beaufort london i i have all it means nothing out of order, Fantom V, iron .....etc it means i hope much more cause 76 percent by lataffa or , yes bought as well, but people dont hate me my toilettis full of them, i am not posh, but when i spray ...it was, save your money and buy masterpiece s. It is not about money, but how you feel, and i try and try, but cheap was provideme every step, but expensive doesnot mean BEAUTY IN AIR, but unfortunately cheapy just made me angry, not all example Lalique le parfum, etc but yea
Café society? Interesting.
It's a Woody Allen movie and thought it was appropriate being that we had a whole 'food' theme going on😬
Good to hear from you Jun, hope you're well my friend
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Love is on the details…nice touch. Un abrazo amigo.
Erba Pura isn't a gourmand ....
Casamorati italica não gostei, cheiro chato de sentir.
you just made XERJOFF and CLIVE CHRISTIAN some money. They owe you
I wish there was a way to collect!😂 Did you try out these ones @eljjtp and clearly were a winner for you? Thanks for reaching out👊🏽
