Great video, love the msg about wearing fragrances that you love. Most times when I'm testing new samples, most of the time I can't wait until I'm done testing so I can get back to the ones I own and love.
Great video. Love the bit about not holding onto fragrances that don't spark instant joy. I recently blind bought Lataffa Asad and have really disliked it since the first spray. Life is too short to wear fragrances that don't smell good! Thanks for all your videos etc this year. I have learned to value your knowledge and opinion on fragrances!
Love the video. I'll have to try out Hawas Ice and the Kilian's offering. I wish I could get on board with Tumi 19 Degree as it was one of my favorite physical bottles, but the suede note was too much for me (I ended up selling it). To each his own!
Great list, Terre D'Hermes Eau Givree is one of my favorite fresh fragrances i discovered this year. I also enjoyed TF Noir Extreme and Dior Homme Cologne. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas Jeff! It's so difficult to name my most worn fragrances, as I tend to wear new fragrance every day, but Code Parfum has to be my most worn this year! Then maybe Le Male Le Parfum and Club De Nuit Intense Man 😅
Happy Holidays, Jeff! I actually just got Pacific Chill and Torino21. Probably not the best season to have purchased them, but they’re really good so who cares? Lol
Your number 1 makes me happy! It's also my number 1! I love your final comments-it's better to have just 30 extraordinary fragrances that bring us joy than to try 500 fragrances a year. So true!

Top 3 worn this year: 3- Luna Rosa black 2- Salvatore Ferragamo Essenziale Blu 1- CAHSEE Honorable mentions- Absolu Aventus which I just got recently and have been wearing a ton of.
I have all 3 Aventus, I wear them only on special occasions, and I get funny compliments every time. The regular Aventus is my most complimented, Absolu follows but I only use it at night, then Cologne during Really hot days.
Absolu Aventus is amazing. Lasted 12 hours on me at work, with pleasant wafts throughout. I think it’s Creed’s best fragrance tbh. But as usual, no one complimented me 😂
19 degree is great, but it’s soooo strong. I can’t do more than 1 spray of it without choking myself and everyone around me out. I’ll have to try to get a decant of the Lacoste. Sounds like my kind of fragrance.
Thanks for the video! I'm getting more fresher scents as my collection is more sweet-focused. I'm wondering if I should go for Invictus Aqua 2024 at 75€ at the airport or Hawas Ice for 50€. Do you have a preference?

Despite the fact that I have more than 100 fragrances, I'm quite consistent. Ideally, I should sell more than 70%, but I just can't bring myself to do this. Elysium and Dior Homme 2020 - day\work. Apple Brandy on the Rocks and Smoking Hot in the evenings.
Cheers to you on the video, but I must say that as much as I love Mozart’s symphony 38 “Prague” I found it a bit too loud and intrusive. Try some softer baroque background music in future videos.
I have to disagree as I didn’t like Tom ford extreme the first time I smelled it. I bought a sample and thought it smelled like baby powder…. I wore it days later and thought the same. Then over night I sprayed it on my wrists to try again and when i woke up the next morning I kept smelling something intoxicating. I couldn’t figure out what it was because noir extreme top note smelled nothing like its dry down that I was smelling. Well when I realized what it was I ordered a full size bottle and it’s definitely top 3 in my vast colllection.
@@android-ud2nf that’s not the point I was trying to make. On expensive luxury or niche fragrances. Invest your money wisely on fragrances that are instant loves from beginning to end. If it’s not a love from the moment you spray it to the moment it fades, save some money and find the one that does. If you have unlimited income, go for it. But if you want to invest in the truly special ones for you, save up for the ones that spark full joy.
@ True I bought Layton and hated it at first. I love it now. I get what you’re saying but I hate most things till I give them multiple wearings. My favorite colognes have all grown on me. The only cologne I can think of that I loved from first sniff till now would be Armani code absolu and I have 2 giant 6.7 ounce back up bottles that I haven’t even opened.
I gotta try that lacoste blanc o fraiche, i learnt recently that i only like edts and specifically cologne and o fraiche versions, ive completely boycott all other types, and thats why i cant relate to youtube fragrance people so much lol to me its either effervescent or sickening and i havmt come by a single acception to that i do t think

@SoCalScents surprisingly really good. I usually don't buy into the hype. I do my research... I was literally blown away. It's not that it's extremely unique, it's almost just your prototypical aquatic... But if this gives you any idea, I think it rivals Tygar... It's beautiful and all-season signature scent worthy. It's classy enough for holidays and casual enough for the office. It's just GOOD. Out of my most expensive colognes, for like $35, I'll gladly say it's one of my favorites.
Want a free Tom ford noir de noir fragrance bottle 50ml ? Blind bought it 🙄 for 50% off . Can't return 🙄 Let me know . I really don't care for the fragrance or my mistake
I respectfully disagree with sparking instant joy with an expensive fragrance.You have to let the fragrance settle down on your skin and let it do it’s job..the opening of the fragrance might not be your thing but the dry down and base could be the most amazing thing you’ve ever smelled in your life! That’s why fragrances have an opening a mid a drydown and a base there’s different stages to a perfume. You can’t just judge a fragrance by the opening that’s ridiculous and close minded thinking. That’s why sampling fragrances is so important spray it on your skin and let it develop and wait a little while and then make your decision if you want to purchase that expensive fragrance. Your probably missing out on a lot of other LV fragrances because you didn’t like the opening which is a shame..Do me a favor go back to the LV store and sample imagination and meteore or l’immensite or lovers and let them develop on your skin. I didn’t like imagination at first but I let it settle on my skin and now it’s my favorite fragrance in my collection.
@@JaredWilson-t8t I’m not judging a fragrance on its opening. When investing in an expensive fragrance if you don’t love it from beginning to end, there are so many others that you might. Spend money on the ones that spark joy instantly for you the moment you spray it. Happiness from beginning to end. I don’t think you quite understood my process in this.
@ I don’t think you understood what im saying lol you don’t have to love it from beginning to end you might absolutely hate the opening but the rest of the fragrance is the best thing ever and you look past the opening..besides openings don’t last that long anyway and openings are not indicative of what the rest of the fragrance is supposed to smell like. You absolutely are judging it by it’s opening you clearly said if you don’t like it from first sniff then move on lol it’s not all about happiness from beginning to end most of my favorite fragrances I don’t care for the opening but I love the rest and some of them are expensive bottles. Imagination for example the opening is good not my favorite but when it gets to the mid and dry down it’s the best thing that i have ever smelled and well worth the price tag for me.
@ I’m not judging it by just its opening. I’m saying buying the ones that spark joy. If it doesn’t spark joy then it’s not worth buying. Spend your money on one that does. If you don’t love the fragrance in its entirety, find one that you do. Anyways I’m done arguing this, there is no need for that. Happy holidays & new year ☺️
@@SoCalScents wow lol did you even read what I said I guess not.. you can get a SPARK of joy after the opening it doesn’t have to blow your pants off from the start lol you don’t have to love a fragrance in its entirety to spend money the opening doesn’t even last long the rest of the fragrance can give you tons of SPARK and JOY loll do you get what im saying do you understand now?!?!?
