  • In this video I hit TJ Maxx in search of great fragrances for a discounted price.
    I was able to grab two summer fragrances. One is a rare find in the rack stores and the other is super hyped in fragcomm. Which one is worth your money? I tell you at the end of the video.

    Thought I’d have to wait till I go back to New England to pick up gray flannel by Geoffrey Bean. Lucky me they had it at Ross when I walked in earlier today so I decided to pick it up. I normally don’t expect much from a $12 fragrance but after watching your reviews I’m excited to give it a try.

    I hesitated picking Pure Accord up for the same reason you did, the less than stellar reviews on the main sites. But there was one reviewer in particular who swayed me into picking it up and I'm glad I did. Yes, the best part is the opening, which fades way too fast. But unlike you, I don't mind the dry down. I don't have anything in my summer rotation that smells like this, not even Blue Jeans. It's quite the change of pace from my usual aquatic, aromatic citrus, or freshie summer scents.
    As far as Missoni goes, I passed on it the one and only time I saw it at Marshall's. That won't happen again.

    Hi Gerard. Own Wave for a while and Love it. Bought another backup this week at Marshalls. Own Chanel Allure Homme Sport and Versace Pour Homme as well and I think you should have all 3.
    Haven't smelled Pure Accord but do own The Scent Private Accord and The Scent Absolute and those 2 are the ones to have.
    SOTD is Tommy Bahama St. Kitts.

    I'm not a fan of blue fragrances and I've tried and had many only to give them away (Bleu De Chanel, Dior Sauvage, Y Live, etc.) I was at local rack store and right before I was about to walk out, there was that bright blue Missoni Wave box staring at me. Because of the hype and all the rave reviews, I took a chance grabbed it at $30 for 100ml. Let's just say I was pleasantly surprised how good it was and it'll be in my summer rotation.

    I used to swear by the Versace. However 21, 22 reformulations removed the florals, and that juicy, elegant feeling it used to have. Now performnce too weak, isnt even worth 40 dollars. So, i got the Missoni for an alternative.

    Hey Gerard, greetings from Santander, Cebu, Philippines, where I'm currently vacationing. It's super hot and beachy here and Missoni Wave would be perfect, but fragrance options in the dept stores here are extremely limited so buying Missoni is not an option. I ended up bringing with me D&G Light Blue Intense and Mont Blanc Explorer Ultra Blue. How do those blue fragrances compare to Missoni Wave?

    • @gerardgeorge
      @gerardgeorge  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would say it’s probably closer to light blue than explorer ultra blue. Not particularly shower gel clean smelling like the explorer. More citrusy fresh than the light blue as opposed to aquatic fresh.

    i have a mission wave and when i put it on it doesn't last much at all, maybe about half an hour and that's it and i put it on both skin and clothes i even tried using vaseline but it doesn't help. can you help me and tell me why

    • @gerardgeorge
      @gerardgeorge  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Roni typically there is only 3 reasons a fragrance doesn’t perform;
      1. The fragrance itself is a poor performer
      2. The fragrance is brand new and just needs time to macerate.
      3. Your skin chemistry or reaction to a particular fragrance.
      Sometimes you can have a combination of all 3, sometimes just one. I’ve had fragrances that are supposed to last all day that last me a few hours. I know the feeling my friend.

      For 30$ not as aquatic and blue as the bottle makes it look ...It should be a clear bottle with a touch of blue tint. The color scheme on the bottle should be inverted. It's less blue and less aquatic than it is floral. The mandarine is almost non-existent... it's a sea salt citrus flower bomb ... No where near Versace pour homme ... Hollister X wave impressed me more than this at 19.99. way too much hype....Wave 2 Hollister is way better than this....now that's a solid cheapie
