AC you’re about the only reviewer who’s compliment stories are actually 100% believable. A refreshing change from the usual over the top fabricated BS. Great selections by the way. 👍🏻

Smells Good No issues sir. It’s nothing compared to you do for the community. Eagerly waiting for the classic list (although I am not more into barbershop/Classic genre). I would also request you to PIN my comment so that it would be easily accessible at the top for others. Thanks.
Love the wardrobe change and what a surprise ending. Totally agree that turning heads is as good as a direct compliment. You just earned yourself a subscriber and you’d better believe I hit that bell. Keep up the good work my friend!
Oh my ,ur channel content rocks Totally made my day highlight Not just made a list also with real story telling So tks for ur list totally can see really put thought,not just like others copy cat,even the speech copy the original too, Tks ac soso Much Enjoy
John thank you mate, you are the main motivation behind this video. you asked for it so many times :) and because of request I have a video that has given me so many views :). I crossed 300 overnight, which has never happened before. Thanks Bro :). I am glad you liked the video and the stories, have a great day my friend.
Subbed you yesterday, where was your channel hiding from me. Absolute spot on content, you channel is a hidden diamond in the fragrance community. Proud to be your subscriber Sir.
Thank you Amit, I am glad you discovered my chanel. I have few subs but I am very thankful for them and just like you they are seriously decent people with great taste :)
I just stumbled on your channel, I totally love your description and obvious love for fragrances. I am subscribed. I absolutely agree with your choices my husband always let's me pick his fragrances of which several are in your collection 🙏
You are like the last Bvlgari fragrance... your reviews are so well defined yet you are so underrated...god bless you...may you have a million subscribers
Thank you Manash, felt great reading your comment and thankful for your blessings. It says in Geeta, " You have a right to your labour not the fruits " , so I am just focusing on my labour of love :)
Going to buy Prada Lhomme Intense today. It's summer here but I can't resist myself from buying. Smelt it yesterday and it was love at first sniff (will have to wait for winter to rock it though).
Absolute stunner it is Shubham and I think you could wear it in an air conditioned environment IMHO. Do check out my review on it as I think I have discussed that aspect as well.
Dunhill Icon is very good. I spray it on my clothes few minutes before i leave and its amazing. Try it also spraying the clothes inside wardrobe. Same with YSL Lhome.
Great video AC! Like your saying, compliments are really depending on in which country you live, we have the same here in the Netherlands. I wear fragrances for myself to feel good, if I get a compliment that's always nice. The bulgary mib essense is really awesome, I like the bitter orange combination.
I agree Edward, I really like the Dutch people and I have so many colleagues from the Netherlands and its a sheer joy to work with them. As I have grown older I have also realized that I mostly do things for myself and I do not really care much about external gratification and approvals. Its just how I have evolved. When I was in my twenties I used to care a lot about people's opinion on my sense of dressing and fragrances, now I dont, its just me and I get more appreciation from people now. I agree with your views on MIB essence. Its been crafted very well.
I really like your content. Please keep doing it despite the number of followers. You are a guy that can be trusted, I can see your passion in every video. Thank you, and of course I'd like to see this channel grow day by day
Thank you my friend, and, of course I will carry on :). As I said in my 1000 subs video, I do this for the sheer joy of doing it :). Thank you for your support and kind words mate, I am glad you like my content.
I own. DHP, Dunhill Icon, BDC, and CDNIM. DHP for me, takes the cake. I wore it to work today and a female colleague wanted to buy it for herself regardless of how manly it comes across. I sometimes think twice before I wear it cos it’s potent juice.
What a great choice of fragrances! Aqua Amara and Cedrat Boise get me compliments every time I wear 'em. Thank you for your content, you're a gentleman sir.
Great video! I agree with you about Cedrat Boise. I was in the parking lot of a large shopping mall near DC and this group of beautiful Women followed me across the parking lot to ask what I was wearing. This has happened several times.
I love the dunhill icon. I did saw coffrets of 100 mls at 50% discount of all dunhills icons less that original. They had the 50ml coffret of it with 50% tho. But worths more pay for the 100 ml with 20% discount since you get the fragance box that i do prefer and equals price per ml. I think i will wait until i see the original with 25 or 30 discount. Right now on retail its 105 eur for the 100 ml bottle. I sprayed it on myself yesterday. Really amazing scent indeed. A most in every collection.
Great video and great fragrance choices sir. As soon as i saw u in that leather jacket and holding dior homme parfum i paused the vid and subscribed to ur channel coz this is how i dress for this fragrance. Keep up the good work and have a good day.
Fantastic Video Smells Good! Your very good behind the camera and speak slowly and confidently. There are some fragrances on your list that I have and some I haven't even smelt and your video has made me fill my basket up on Notino. Thanks again and keep the videos coming.
Hi AC, how are you brother! Hope you are well. I was wondering, what soundtrack were you playing in the background when you were talking about Dior Homme Parfum? I love this soundtrack. I will really appreciate it 🎶...
Very nice video and good selection of fragrances. You are so passionate about fragrance that it makes me smile. I do wear fragrances for myself but it's feels good to get complements every now and then. It makes you believe that whatever you are doing, you doing it right. The sudden leather jacket part cracked me up. Really funny. Will definitely put some of them in my purchase list.
Smells Good thanks for your reply. Only have a few summer fragrances in my collection. You know it's UK and we hardly get any proper summer like now. Most of my aftershaves are for all year or winter only. But always I really enjoyed Rasasi Pour Lui Zebra for outdoors and Prada l'homme for office/indoor setting.
Both are great scents and yeah, I know what you mean about our summers :). If you get a chance try Quercia by Acqua Di Parma, pricey but outstanding for all year office setting :).
hahahaha AC, i was not through the review and shot in a compliment for your recommendation of ADP colonia but then it happened! your Dior Homme Intense do ;) It just blew my lid off and i'm on my floor laughing. Good one man.
I too don't care much about compliments. Actually many people will find you smell gorgeous without ever mentioning it to you. I've worn only 4 of your list plus two flankers. Great choices indeed. Thanks.
Your conversational style and presentation is so enjoyable to watch. Superb reviews and stories. Thank you. I'm subscribed and look forward to more of your reviews.
I absolutely adore chess mate, I used to play a lot but nowadays I only play against the computers or online. Great to know that we share 2 common passions mate, Glad you subscribed:).
Man, you slayed this video! Absolutely superb talk on your compliment getters. I can totally relate to the CDNIM compliment that you had. Once, after my workout at the gym, I showered off, applied CDNIM, and walked out of the locker room, and two women in their early 40s said “Oh my god, you smell amazing. Will you just walk around this place and let us follow your scent trail!?” They asked what I was wearing, I said “Aventus.” ;) Just the other day whenever I walked past the same two ladies, one of them started counting down “three...two...one...” and then she breathed in really deep as if to take in my sillage...of course I was wearing CDNIM. I feel like I have to wear it for them now. Ha!
Nice one Michael, I have done it before when people have asked me what I am wearing , but now I always say CDNIM with a bulged chest. I love this juice man, it is sooooooo nice!
Smells Good I should clarify: I’m not in any way ashamed of wearing a cheap fragrance like CDNIM. I told those ladies I was wearing Aventus because I wanted to keep CDNIM a secret. The price of Aventus is off-putting, and I knew that they probably wouldn’t purchase it because it’s so expensive. I feel like I work to find fragrances and to smell good, and I want to reward that effort by smelling unique. The Aventus/CDNIM scent is just too good and I’ll morn the day it becomes ubiquitous
I know Michael, but didn't realize you were trying to keep CDNIM a secret :)), nice one ! I am the same as you, i like to wear unique frags. here are some you may want to sample, ADP Quercia, Baldessarini Ultimate, Versace Man, Rasasi Sotoor Taa, and finally Hermes Rocabar ( it's bit mature). I might do a video on unique smelling frags. Really nice to speak to you mate :).
Did you smell Bvlgari Man Orient? I heard that it got discontinued aswell. It may be true since i only found it in a single local store. I kind of do like it. Altough after a few smelling i still do prefer the man in black and the essence one. The orient seems to hold a bit more than the essence. Essence smells better though. Orient its more smokey from what i get.
A great list, AC. I haven't been able to pull the trigger on Dunhill ICON. It has come across a fragrance that may not be suited to warmer / hot (above 35 degrees) weather. Would you agree with that, AC ? And longevity issues too (as stated in your review of ICON too). Does it have any resemblance to another favourite of yours - PS Fine cologne - which in your review you have said is a cooler weather fragrance, AC ? Looking forward to Parts 2 and 3 of this series :-). Great work, my friend !
Hi Sumant, great to see you stop by. Icon works well for me in all weather because of the Neroli and the airy cardamom and this year we have had very hot summer by UK standards. I am enjoying it thoroughly. I normally go 6-8 sprays for office environments and it gives me 6 hours easy sometimes more, depends on the fabric of my shirt as i spray 6 on my shirt and 1 each behind each ear. To my nose I do not find resemblance to PS but it just reminds of Terre d'Hermes a bit.
I know this is a fragrance review but them shades are off the hook my friend haha were are they from? I'm interested in buying the Valentino oumo , prada and the elysium inspired 1 you have just set me off on to spending a fortune here ;) I will come back to you probably next week sometime and let you know how I get on . 👍
Onenof my most complemented is Grey flanel by geoffrey beane ( I just butchered the name ) which came out in the 70s I believe and it is super cheap People seem to like it more than sauvage edp and more than creed aventus and even more than vesace eros Which is weird I personally enjoy it as well but I can't find many reviewers mentioning it at all liek it doesn't even exist And one more reason it is awesome is that it doesn't smell like anything else that I know I can find many similarities between the well known perfumes but this one is awesome and is a real headen gem
I tried Dior Homme Intense. Certain fragrances react badly on me, and all I can smell is suffocating vanilla. Intense is one of them. Is regular DH very vanilla centred?
Hi Akash, mine is 2015 batch and I go 4- 6 sprays depending on my mood :). I get minimum 6 hrs. If I spray all 6 on my shirt I get nuclear projection and minimum 10 hrs longevity
DHP and armaf club de nuit, you're not a fragrance man if you don't have these in your collection. Fantastic review. AC is the Hors Leuning of fragrances.
I already have Dior homme , Dior homme parfum, Valentino uomo intense and prada L’Homme . Is prada L’Homme intense still worth a purchase ? I found a 100ml bottle going for $40 so tempted to pick it up ...but does it differentiate itself enough ?
@Faheem Mithwani Have you tried Dior Homme Intense? What do you think about the EDP version of Givenchy Gentlemen since it im the same vibe as the ones you mentioned; something pleasant about it that make it feels like a date fragrance to me
AC i would like to know your thoughts on Vintage Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum. I have an option to get 2012 batch. Should i go for this or Dior home parfum. Pls Suggest.
Rijin, I really like both the scents. If you are getting the vintage then please go for it, but I do not know your taste so let me know what occasion you are planning to wear it to?
Hi AC. I decided to go with Eau Sauvage because if i miss this chance i dont think i can get the vintage anytime. DHP i can still buy later. Also i feel DHP is more like a special occasion scent and i have Valentino uomo noir absolu and Black Orchid for that purpose at present.
Absolutely mate, it will suit you a lot. Also since you are in the age group, you will most likely meet women of that age group, so try and wear sweet fragrances , as they really do dig it :)
I can completely agree on the country part.. see I live in the uk like you I have a good collection of fragrances from Dior to Chanel to Issey miyake givenchy etc but iv only got 1 compliment in my whole life and that was back in 09 when I wore diesel only the brave and it was at work I got completed my a hot older women lol it’s either I’m intimidating or people in the uk are very reserved which I strongly believe is the case and not me being the issue but it doesn’t bother me
I agree with your point around people being reserved mate, people in the UK sort of mind their business and dont interject anyone by stopping them and giving them a compliment. Great to see you stop by my friend :).
Dunhill icon is tooo spicy for me, i sold it. But i blind purchased Profumo ADG and i can stomach it. Its not as spicy as Icon, but reminds me of it some...
Valentino Uomo intence vs Dior Homme Parfum? Im really debating on those two. Amazing taste there. Im early in this fragance game. I do have: Sauvage EDT, CH Prive, Prada Lhomme, Mugler A*Man, Versage Dylan Blue and Eros. What is next in my list after one of the two previously mentioned: Polo Red Extreme, Mugler Cologne (not sure yet), Dior "Vintage" Eau Sauvage, JLG Ultra Male, Code Profumo (your opinion?) And Aqua Di Gio Profumo (Special Blend?).
Joao, vintage eau sauvage is awesome and code profumo is very nice as well. I will also recommend Artisan Pure, Prada L' homme intense and valentino Uomo noir absolu.
Prada intense is amazing. About the others you mentioned i still not saw them in my local stores. I will try to find them. Between Chanel allure sport extreme, versage pour homme and versage fraiche wich you think is better for the summer? Interesting fresh fragances. I do prefer prada lhome, dylan blue and dior sauvage for the office tho. Mugler cologne was a option for the office but i do prefer prada. That being said one of those 3 (2 versaces and chanel) would be for casual summer wear. If i do find pure artisan probably i will not get any of those 3 yet. I also do no found spicebomb normal or extreme. Altough my locals can get the normal version if i do a blind buy.
I think Chanel is the best !. If you like Prada then try Prada Amber brilliant summer scent. I think you dont need spice bomb , Bvlgari Man in Black is a better and cheaper option.
Max it is edt. I know where people come from when they say Mancera and ADP are niche houses but if you think about it they are so widely available that those houses are no more Niche houses any more. Go back 10 years and they were.
This list has no value for me but it was fun to watch. Good job as always, AC! I only buy frags I like, not those that other people like so potential compliments are not a factor. Of the list, only own Colonia Intensa but have lost interest in the whole line. All the best, Stefan.
I know Stefan, I am in the same boat, but it's a request from a lot of my subscribers :). I agree the rest of the colonia line is a bit wishy washy. Great to see you stop by mate :).
have you ever bought a dawg. I got one Monday taking a chance on a sale. I wont mention the name. it was total chemical and what made it worse it had fantastic projection and life. I didn't use it, I put it out by the bins and three hours later it was gone. it would be good to hear some of your bad stories. also have you ever had a perfume wain in the bottle. a one million more or less died on me once. cheers
John, I have bought many bad fragrances mate and most of them were either blind buys by believing the hype or were me testing of a strip and getting impressed by the opening. I generally avoid doing negative reviews but will try.
L O L !..Great compliment at the theater!..Now, choose your response, mate: "Thank you!..It's called Club de Nuit INTENSE Man from Armaf...Here, I'll write it down for you." Or: "Well, thank you.. It's AVENTUS."
Just kidding.. You are right to say the truth...There is just, something about the Armaf(I have the same, France '15 silver sprayer) and it's magical scent and sillage! I have done some field work in this..as I fave my work mate a decant of my CDNIM and wore it one day. As I walked in, my first thought was, who is wearing Aventus?..I know the smell of the Zara, and Insurrection Pure II, but this was a step above. He smelled better than ant Man I have ever sniffed..through the whole day!! NOW.. I have recently purchased for him his OWN bottle of the current issue from Armaf and he has worn it, but for the life of me, I did not detect it off him that morning...Huh??
No problems Bob, I have actually responded to that question before by saying that I was wearing Aventus but not anymore, I say I am wearing CDNIM :). So you reckon this has gone weaker has it? Lot of -people ask me the year of manufacture of my bottle on here so I guess that why :(.
I love this gentlemen's video hes a bit like prada l'homme intense the best ever plz empty all your wardrobe and just fill them all up with prada l'homme intense it's the best best best ever
Really enjoying your reviews. You gave a 10 out of 10 to a fragrance that garners compliments, but I did not catch the name. Is there any wqy I could consult a transcript version of your list above, as I would really like to pursue that one you identify as your personal favorite. Thanks for any specifics you could provide for me. Maybe you have the list written down on a blog? Many thanks.

AC you’re about the only reviewer who’s compliment stories are actually 100% believable. A refreshing change from the usual over the top fabricated BS. Great selections by the way. 👍🏻

Smells Good
No issues sir. It’s nothing compared to you do for the community. Eagerly waiting for the classic list (although I am not more into barbershop/Classic genre).
I would also request you to PIN my comment so that it would be easily accessible at the top for others. Thanks.
good Idea on pinning you comment. i think Classic fragrances teach you a lot about genuine perfumery as they are mostly complex.
Love the wardrobe change and what a surprise ending. Totally agree that turning heads is as good as a direct compliment. You just earned yourself a subscriber and you’d better believe I hit that bell. Keep up the good work my friend!
Nice one Kieron, and I am most thankful for the sub :). Glad you enjoyed the video my friend :).
BAHAHAHAHAHA! That Dior Homme wardrobe change! lol. I could watch you reviews all day I swear. Please don't ever stop putting out new content.
thank you Alex, so kind of you. i know i used the Dior Lingo but the other day a Roja rep used the same language too :).

Wow great collection. I am the same with Dior Homme Parfum, I adore that stuff.
Great call on the picks and for mentioning Man In Black Essence - Bvlgari as no-one talks about it.
Thank you and you know what, I keep forgetting to review it, its absolute dazzler :).
What a great choice of fragrances! Aqua Amara and Cedrat Boise get me compliments every time I wear 'em. Thank you for your content, you're a gentleman sir.
Thank you for your kind words my friend :). I am truly glad you like my content :).
Got all two and I must say they are compliment magnets
All of these are great performers and definitely compliment getters. Thanks for another helpful review. Peace and be well my friend ✌
Thank you Tommy. As you say they are all great performers! Which one is your absolute favorite and compliment magnet ?
Great video! I agree with you about Cedrat Boise. I was in the parking lot of a large shopping mall near DC and this group of beautiful Women followed me across the parking lot to ask what I was wearing. This has happened several times.

Some Part Of The World, People Do Not Give You Compliments
But We Wear Fragrances For Our Self Enjoyment,Not For Compliments
I have 1/2 of these....good picks...love the wardrobe change 😂👍
Hahahahh, thanks bro:), I was just having a bit of fun.
Great video and great fragrance choices sir.
As soon as i saw u in that leather jacket and holding dior homme parfum i paused the vid and subscribed to ur channel coz this is how i dress for this fragrance.
Keep up the good work and have a good day.
Loved you comment mate :). There's no other way to wear DHP is there :). I am so thankful for your subscription my friend :). Have a great day!
Smells Good no there is no other way 😁
:).
Fantastic Video Smells Good! Your very good behind the camera and speak slowly and confidently. There are some fragrances on your list that I have and some I haven't even smelt and your video has made me fill my basket up on Notino. Thanks again and keep the videos coming.

It just blew my lid off and i'm on my floor laughing.
Good one man.
Hahaha, yeah that was quite funny mate and the idea came to me when i was actually doing the review. Have a great day mate :)
Getting excited! Closing in on Episode #100! What will it be??? Carry on boldly!!!
Thank you mate, I wont hold the suspense for too long :))
Man I simply love your Roadster look 😊😊
So far on TH-cam you and Sebastian are my favourite Reviewers
Love your reviews❤️
Keep up the good work
Thanks my friend I am glad you are enjoying my videos. Really good to get the feedback mate :)
Nice list completely agreed for description of BDC and prada intense I love both so much.
Nice one Ahmed, I am the same, like them both. Thanks for stopping by my friend.
I too don't care much about compliments. Actually many people will find you smell gorgeous without ever mentioning it to you.
I've worn only 4 of your list plus two flankers. Great choices indeed. Thanks.
thank you and totally agree, I wear fragrances for the joy they give me :)
Great selections and descriptions of each fragrance
Thank you. Glad to hear you enjoyed :)
yea, i´ve tried bvlgari man in black essence ... and it was the best smelling designer smell in perfumery shop .... (also bottega veneta parfum)
Thank you Miles and also I am now in the hunt for Bottega Veneta :).
Your conversational style and presentation is so enjoyable to watch. Superb reviews and stories. Thank you. I'm subscribed and look forward to more of your reviews.
Also I love the art work in the background. Are you a chess player. Chess is one of my passions, along with fragrance of course :)
I absolutely adore chess mate, I used to play a lot but nowadays I only play against the computers or online.
Great to know that we share 2 common passions mate, Glad you subscribed:).
Thank you Bradley, its very nice to see those kind words.
Brilliant, so entertaining, so many fragrances to try!
Just discovered your channel and I'm really glad I did. Nice work, keep it up!
Thank you and most appreciate your sub!
Good as usual sure. I like your picks, especially dhp and bulgari man in black special edition. No one speaks about it
Thank you and I am glad you enjoyed the reviews. Both you mention are my personal favorites.
Its Cedrat Boise by Mancera.
Dunhill Icon, yes sir, this is a perfect work scent, and a compliment getter! Great video amigo!
Thank you Steven. Icon is so good isnt it :).
u r very rite abt bdc.
unbeatable stuff.
btw how many sprays do u do with it ?
I go 4 with it if I am indoors as it projects a lot, and If I am going to be outdoors I double that , specially when its a bit cold.
Bvlgari Men In Black is an underrated flanker💯
Man, you slayed this video! Absolutely superb talk on your compliment getters. I can totally relate to the CDNIM compliment that you had. Once, after my workout at the gym, I showered off, applied CDNIM, and walked out of the locker room, and two women in their early 40s said “Oh my god, you smell amazing. Will you just walk around this place and let us follow your scent trail!?” They asked what I was wearing, I said “Aventus.” ;) Just the other day whenever I walked past the same two ladies, one of them started counting down “three...two...one...” and then she breathed in really deep as if to take in my sillage...of course I was wearing CDNIM. I feel like I have to wear it for them now. Ha!
Nice one Michael, I have done it before when people have asked me what I am wearing , but now I always say CDNIM with a bulged chest. I love this juice man, it is sooooooo nice!
Smells Good I should clarify: I’m not in any way ashamed of wearing a cheap fragrance like CDNIM. I told those ladies I was wearing Aventus because I wanted to keep CDNIM a secret. The price of Aventus is off-putting, and I knew that they probably wouldn’t purchase it because it’s so expensive. I feel like I work to find fragrances and to smell good, and I want to reward that effort by smelling unique. The Aventus/CDNIM scent is just too good and I’ll morn the day it becomes ubiquitous
I know Michael, but didn't realize you were trying to keep CDNIM a secret :)), nice one ! I am the same as you, i like to wear unique frags. here are some you may want to sample, ADP Quercia, Baldessarini Ultimate, Versace Man, Rasasi Sotoor Taa, and finally Hermes Rocabar ( it's bit mature). I might do a video on unique smelling frags.
Really nice to speak to you mate :).
Good suggestions, l do like all of them.
Nice one Milind, thank you :) glad you enjoyed.
Listening to you while in qaurantine, very pleasing and fun, thanks and God bless you.
DHP stands taller than all others in the list.
Thank you Ash, I am glad this video made you happy my friend :) Stay safe and stay happy :)
Club de nuit so many compliments, great value!
True Ben, same for me :)
You are my best perfume reviewer by far. Great job !
Hahah thank you Deepak, very kind of you :)
Great video I love the way you break down the fragrances.
Did you smell Bvlgari Man Orient? I heard that it got discontinued aswell. It may be true since i only found it in a single local store. I kind of do like it. Altough after a few smelling i still do prefer the man in black and the essence one. The orient seems to hold a bit more than the essence. Essence smells better though. Orient its more smokey from what i get.
Joao, thanks for telling me about what the Orient smells like mate. i have always wondered as I haven't smelled it yet.
A great list, AC. I haven't been able to pull the trigger on Dunhill ICON. It has come across a fragrance that may not be suited to warmer / hot (above 35 degrees) weather. Would you agree with that, AC ? And longevity issues too (as stated in your review of ICON too). Does it have any resemblance to another favourite of yours - PS Fine cologne - which in your review you have said is a cooler weather fragrance, AC ?
Looking forward to Parts 2 and 3 of this series :-). Great work, my friend !
Hi Sumant, great to see you stop by. Icon works well for me in all weather because of the Neroli and the airy cardamom and this year we have had very hot summer by UK standards. I am enjoying it thoroughly. I normally go 6-8 sprays for office environments and it gives me 6 hours easy sometimes more, depends on the fabric of my shirt as i spray 6 on my shirt and 1 each behind each ear.
To my nose I do not find resemblance to PS but it just reminds of Terre d'Hermes a bit.
Thank you for those details on ICON, AC. Very helpful in getting a good feel for the perfume. I'm definitely on the look out now :-)
I know this is a fragrance review but them shades are off the hook my friend haha were are they from? I'm interested in buying the Valentino oumo , prada and the elysium inspired 1 you have just set me off on to spending a fortune here ;) I will come back to you probably next week sometime and let you know how I get on . 👍
Onenof my most complemented is Grey flanel by geoffrey beane ( I just butchered the name ) which came out in the 70s I believe and it is super cheap
People seem to like it more than sauvage edp and more than creed aventus and even more than vesace eros
Which is weird
I personally enjoy it as well but I can't find many reviewers mentioning it at all liek it doesn't even exist
And one more reason it is awesome is that it doesn't smell like anything else that I know
I can find many similarities between the well known perfumes but this one is awesome and is a real headen gem
Ahmed, I wish I liked it as much as you do, but, unfortunately I can not stand that fragrance. it gives me a severe headache.
@@ACSmellsGood no need to like it
Everyone has his own nose
The same way I hate cdnim while everyone else seems to like it
hahaha I know Ahmad, its the skin chemistry that makes or breaks a fragrance ultimately :)
What is the performance like as against all this one you mentioned above?
Well .... if I am complemented for Club de nui intense man ... I would announce that i am wearing Creed Aventus 😄 ... Amazing reviews as always AC
I hope you do Varun. Its always nice to get a sincere compliment
I was surprised with acqua di parma on this list,because it is rarely on reviews on yt...but indeed,such a great smelling fragrance...
Thanks for stopping by Robert, and truly the AdP is amazing scent!
regard to Club de nuit Intense, have you tried the new batch of 2020
I think you still have the old batch
I haven't tried tried the 2020 batch mate. I have heard that there is an EDP version out, and I am going to get it after the lock down ends.
Thank you soo much for your kind reply. I really like your reviews and your collection
thank you Munish, I am glad my reviews are helpful my friend :). Have a great day!
I tried Dior Homme Intense. Certain fragrances react badly on me, and all I can smell is suffocating vanilla. Intense is one of them. Is regular DH very vanilla centred?
I love you man, you are a very good reviewer
:) Thank you Hussain my friend, glad you like my reviews pal. take care.
how many sprays do you go with club de nuit intense man??which year is that made in??how much is its longetivity on you?
Hi Akash, mine is 2015 batch and I go 4- 6 sprays depending on my mood :). I get minimum 6 hrs. If I spray all 6 on my shirt I get nuclear projection and minimum 10 hrs longevity
DHP and armaf club de nuit, you're not a fragrance man if you don't have these in your collection. Fantastic review. AC is the Hors Leuning of fragrances.
I already have Dior homme , Dior homme parfum, Valentino uomo intense and prada L’Homme . Is prada L’Homme intense still worth a purchase ?
I found a 100ml bottle going for $40 so tempted to pick it up ...but does it differentiate itself enough ?
It does differentiate itself enough Fahim, so I would pick it up if I got it for that price :)
@Faheem Mithwani Have you tried Dior Homme Intense? What do you think about the EDP version of Givenchy Gentlemen since it im the same vibe as the ones you mentioned; something pleasant about it that make it feels like a date fragrance to me
blackknightdl haven’t tried that one yet...but I already picked prada L’homme intense
Excellent run down as usual, love the leather jacket!
Hahah thank you mate :)
Mancera instant crush- nuclear projection and endless compliments!
I have to try it mate.
AC i would like to know your thoughts on Vintage Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum. I have an option to get 2012 batch. Should i go for this or Dior home parfum. Pls Suggest.
Rijin, I really like both the scents. If you are getting the vintage then please go for it, but I do not know your taste so let me know what occasion you are planning to wear it to?
Hi AC. I decided to go with Eau Sauvage because if i miss this chance i dont think i can get the vintage anytime. DHP i can still buy later. Also i feel DHP is more like a special occasion scent and i have Valentino uomo noir absolu and Black Orchid for that purpose at present.
Well done! I think that was a great strategy.
Great video boss. You are one of the best reviewer. I also have more than 150 bottle collection. AQUA AMARA IS A GEM.
Thank you Sanjay, glad you stopped by and impressive collection my fried :). I agree Aqva Amara is truly a gem :).
Impressive collection!
Wow
All 10/10😎😎🤘🤘
Hello smells good I'm 22 and I want to ask you can I wеar a Dior Home intense on me, will be good or not what you think? P. S nice video mate. :)
Absolutely mate, it will suit you a lot. Also since you are in the age group, you will most likely meet women of that age group, so try and wear sweet fragrances , as they really do dig it :)
I can completely agree on the country part.. see I live in the uk like you I have a good collection of fragrances from Dior to Chanel to Issey miyake givenchy etc but iv only got 1 compliment in my whole life and that was back in 09 when I wore diesel only the brave and it was at work I got completed my a hot older women lol it’s either I’m intimidating or people in the uk are very reserved which I strongly believe is the case and not me being the issue but it doesn’t bother me
But I do feel like people treat me differently when I do wear a fragrance if that makes sense hahha
I agree with your point around people being reserved mate, people in the UK sort of mind their business and dont interject anyone by stopping them and giving them a compliment.
Great to see you stop by my friend :).
Do u think Mancera Cedrat Boise has been reformulated, as in turned down from Beast Mode, to a regular EDT...Though it says EDP
I think it has. My current bottle doesn't project as much.
Leather jacket transition was brilliant :)
Hahaha thank you I much enjoyed doing that :)
Ombré leather when I’m rocking my favorite leather jacket 👌
Indeed I have to review that one :)
Happy to see you again
Hi Amandeep how are you? Long time my friend :).
Dunhill icon is tooo spicy for me, i sold it.
But i blind purchased Profumo ADG and i can stomach it. Its not as spicy as Icon, but reminds me of it some...
Nice jacket 😎👍🏼 Waiting for the second episode I recommend you try Prada exclusive (cargo de nuit ) fabulous
Wow, cargo nuit is going on my to try list. I love Pradas :). Thanks for stopping by my friend and for the recommendation.
Valentino Uomo intence vs Dior Homme Parfum?
Im really debating on those two.
Amazing taste there.
Im early in this fragance game.
I do have: Sauvage EDT, CH Prive, Prada Lhomme, Mugler A*Man, Versage Dylan Blue and Eros.
What is next in my list after one of the two previously mentioned: Polo Red Extreme, Mugler Cologne (not sure yet), Dior "Vintage" Eau Sauvage, JLG Ultra Male, Code Profumo (your opinion?) And Aqua Di Gio Profumo (Special Blend?).
Im in my early 20s aswell.
Joao, vintage eau sauvage is awesome and code profumo is very nice as well. I will also recommend Artisan Pure, Prada L' homme intense and valentino Uomo noir absolu.
Prada intense is amazing. About the others you mentioned i still not saw them in my local stores. I will try to find them.
Between Chanel allure sport extreme, versage pour homme and versage fraiche wich you think is better for the summer? Interesting fresh fragances. I do prefer prada lhome, dylan blue and dior sauvage for the office tho. Mugler cologne was a option for the office but i do prefer prada. That being said one of those 3 (2 versaces and chanel) would be for casual summer wear. If i do find pure artisan probably i will not get any of those 3 yet.
I also do no found spicebomb normal or extreme. Altough my locals can get the normal version if i do a blind buy.
I think Chanel is the best !. If you like Prada then try Prada Amber brilliant summer scent.
I think you dont need spice bomb , Bvlgari Man in Black is a better and cheaper option.
Im going to try those. Thanks ;)
Would love to see your collection... please do a video..
where about in the UK are you brov, we might be able to do a video together. nice list by the way
Hey mate, I am in Swindon , its a great idea mate. Where are you based? Thanks for stopping by :)
my pleasure, I live in London, shame so near so far
London is not a problem, we can meet up and do a review mate not an issue. Which part of London are you in?
privet message me please thanks
I think private messaging feature has been discontinued by TH-cam. Drop me a note on acsmellsgood@gmail.com and we can arrange something for sure.
17:30 Lmao. Classic moment. Viewers trying to save money beware.
ahahah true!
a long waited video AC, thank you very much.
Pleasure Paul, I am glad you suggested it.
Ive got 80% of this list all winners good job mate i imagine the rest ive not smelt are good, my favorite reviewer
Wonderful and which would you say are your top 3 compliment magnets ?
The 17min switcheroo! 😎😎😎
I thought Mancera CB was regarded niche. Which BdC version is that, please, EDT or EDP?
Max it is edt.
I know where people come from when they say Mancera and ADP are niche houses but if you think about it they are so widely available that those houses are no more Niche houses any more. Go back 10 years and they were.
Aqua di parma Colonia Intensa, i'm on a train now AC..
THAANKS
Colonia Intensa... Oh man, I have undying love for that fragrance :)
This list has no value for me but it was fun to watch. Good job as always, AC! I only buy frags I like, not those that other people like so potential compliments are not a factor. Of the list, only own Colonia Intensa but have lost interest in the whole line. All the best, Stefan.
I know Stefan, I am in the same boat, but it's a request from a lot of my subscribers :).
I agree the rest of the colonia line is a bit wishy washy. Great to see you stop by mate :).
My favourite fragrance video on TH-cam 🥂💪🏿
Oh thank you very much :)
Great list and I enjoyed it
Thank you Michael.
You welcome keep up the good work
I love dunhil icon gorgeous drydown
Yeah totally, I adore that fragrance.
Good reviews, gonna have to get Icon and the Bulvgari one.
Oh mate, dont waste too much time, they are gorgeous!
Brilliant video, a great help
Absolutely delighted to hear that :)
Fellas AC here...😁
Love his chanel
Excellent review, thanks for sharing
Pleasure mate, I am glad you enjoyed it :)
have you ever bought a dawg. I got one Monday taking a chance on a sale. I wont mention the name. it was total chemical and what made it worse it had fantastic projection and life. I didn't use it, I put it out by the bins and three hours later it was gone. it would be good to hear some of your bad stories. also have you ever had a perfume wain in the bottle. a one million more or less died on me once. cheers
John, I have bought many bad fragrances mate and most of them were either blind buys by believing the hype or were me testing of a strip and getting impressed by the opening.
I generally avoid doing negative reviews but will try.
Can I wear BVLGARI AQVA in the winter time for the office?
Hi Bennt you can but it won't smell that amazing mate, it needs heat :)
New intro? Great choices
L O L !..Great compliment at the theater!..Now, choose your response, mate:
"Thank you!..It's called Club de Nuit INTENSE Man from Armaf...Here, I'll write it down for you." Or:
"Well, thank you.. It's AVENTUS."
Just kidding.. You are right to say the truth...There is just, something about the Armaf(I have the same, France '15 silver sprayer) and it's magical scent and sillage! I have done some field work in this..as I fave my work mate a decant of my CDNIM and wore it one day. As I walked in, my first thought was, who is wearing Aventus?..I know the smell of the Zara, and Insurrection Pure II, but this was a step above. He smelled better than ant Man I have ever sniffed..through the whole day!! NOW.. I have recently purchased for him his OWN bottle of the current issue from Armaf and he has worn it, but for the life of me, I did not detect it off him that morning...Huh??
No problems Bob, I have actually responded to that question before by saying that I was wearing Aventus but not anymore, I say I am wearing CDNIM :).
So you reckon this has gone weaker has it?
Lot of -people ask me the year of manufacture of my bottle on here so I guess that why :(.
"Axe Man" you are a genius
Excellent video....
Thank you my friend :).
I love this gentlemen's video hes a bit like prada l'homme intense the best ever plz empty all your wardrobe and just fill them all up with prada l'homme intense it's the best best best ever
Really enjoying your reviews. You gave a 10 out of 10 to a fragrance that garners compliments, but I did not catch the name. Is there any wqy I could consult a transcript version of your list above, as I would really like to pursue that one you identify as your personal favorite. Thanks for any specifics you could provide for me. Maybe you have the list written down on a blog? Many thanks.
Hi John, many thanks for your lovely comments, most appreciate them :).
The very first comment in this video lists all the fragrances discussed.
The one I gave 10/10 is Mancera Cedrat Boise, I have done a full review of that fragrance as well.
