Hi Omar
How about making a video about freshies for spring n summer?
Too many choices like Lacoste L'Homme Intense, Rochas L'Homme, Prada L'Homme, Mont Blanc Legend, BVLgari etc..
Maybe, reduce the number of redundancies in freshies too.
unfair to do this to your viewers. i am jewish and like watching your content. i obviously think different then you on this metter but why mix politics into this nice relaxing channel?
@@alexanderu4208then just leave. How can you expect people to support genocide? That’s your problem
Well some people we watch for entertainment, some for good deals, some to make me feel not as bad for my fragrance addiction and then I watch you Omar for some insight and creative content
This is an extremely helpful series great for keeping me from buying redundant fragrances.
This is the best way to not have redundancy and to build a collection without repeats.
Redundancy goes beyond similar notes and DNA, as you point out in this video. Some fragrances, like Naxos and Tobacco Vanille, simply have limited use, and owning both (or multiple special occasion fragrances) may be a waste of money for many (not all) people. I appreciate your insight and thoughts on this subject. You should produce more like this.
I need more videos like this. Exactly what i´m looking for because I want to limit my fragrance purchase a bit and find the best alternative that I prefer out of the different options in each type of scent profiles.
I can wear Naxos anywhere anytime because it makes me feel so damn comfortable
really really like this idea for a video. when i first started my collection about a year ago i would just buy whatever a popular youtuber said. now i have 3-4 fragrances that all sort of smell the same. keep them coming!
Fantastic topic! This is something I wonder about a lot when considering new full bottle purchases. Gotta totally agree on the Naxos take. As nice as it is to smell like Tobacco Vanille at a holiday gathering, Naxos does the job just as well. I also find it a little difficult to wear. It's not a casual scent, but if I'm properly dressed up I want to wear Alexandria II or Oud Satin Mood.
Hey Omar, This video really is doing a great service for fragrance enthusiasts, thank you.
If only I had watched this video earlier in
My journey, I would have more options and less redundancy.
Same here, I’m also loaded down with a bunch of crap cheapies that get no use
This was a great video I love the concept.
Your videos are always informative
Just getting into this new world of fragrence. Thank you!!! This helped a ton
one of my favorite fragrance youtubers. keep up the great work my friend
Really appreciate your video. Feels super honest and helpful. You really cater what you’re viewers are looking for. Thanks for solving a lot of confusion for FOMO anxious buyers 😅🤣❤️
Very very well balanced info...mature stuff
Great video, as always !
Quick question
Does allure homme sport exclusively come in EDT or is there an EDP version, too?
If so, which would be your recommendation?
i loved this series, esp for newbies and also there are lot of fragrance in single type so hard to choose 1 best out of all, and usually things can get redundant and waste on the pocket.
Imo jpg le male elixir can give you naxos vibes so go for either one! Tobacco vanille is one of my favorite if not my favorite fragrance ever. Great vid omar❤
Really like this video good work
great topic!
Naxos is my favorite fragrance in my collection. I have a 9ml sample of Tobacco Vanille which I love and hope to have one day. Having said that, Oud Wood was more of a priority for me, and the sale I got was one I couldn't pass on, so I may never end up with Tobacco Vanille.
Great content! Video suggestion: Great signature fragances from Designer and Niche
Thanks for this Video. It Really makes sense and will help very much. 👍👍
Interesting video.
I love the original Stronger With You DNA, and was looking to upgrade from the EDT to Absolutely, but was also thinking of The Most Wanted. The thing is I'm no longer in the clubbing age range and do not want to waste money on fragrances I will hardly ever wear.
I must confess I own both Spice Bomb Extreme and Man in Black. They are very similar, but I like the added booziness of MiB from the rum note (also found in SWY Absolutely). Definitely Autumn/Winter fragrances and won't get much use outside of these seasons
Fan of this video idea!
excellent vid bro
Thats perfect because i just bought the armani swy absolutely and i was looking into buying azzaro
New to your channel man im loving your content
Great video 💯
Thank you! However I have Dior Homme intense and Valentino with iris of course, and I love both of them. They are two of my favourites and I don't think I would change them. Valentino has more projection that is what I like, while intense is beautiful undoubtedly but sits closer to the skin. But I appreciate your insight and bringing the subject to light.
would you say valentino intense smells choclate like?
@@toluoyekunle4868nope its more of a vanilla
I Have DHi, Givenchy Intense, and Givenchy Parfum definitely don't think there redundant! Love a good Iris scent!!!
Well done, Omar. I agree completely with your comment on Dior Homme Intense with one exception. I much prefer Dior Homme Parfum to DHI.
IMO, DHI and DHP are both masterpieces, and I have both, but DHP is my favorite designer fragrance ever.
Yeah, I try to have a small collection (under 20 pieces) and at some point, I decided to have different aromas that I liked. So, with that in mind I ditched some fragrances because they were pretty similar (I dropped Office, 'cos I kept Hacivat, L'immensité over Sur La route, etc). Having said that, I don't think is too redundant to have Naxos and Tobacco Vanille, or maybe is just me. I have them, and I love them. Greetings from Mexico, Omar!
Great vid
Great content
love your videos
would like to see more of that. Thx.
All of these examples definitely make sense to me, I fairly recently got Eau Sauvage Parfum, which I love, then smelt a sample of Tom Ford Beau De Jour, as much as I liked it, I thought it would be pointless to get whilst I have Eau Sauvage
Xerjoff naxos and tobacco Vanille are amazing in their own right for the justification to own both
Yeah, no redundancy having both.
Yes, Naxos and Tobacco Vanille are both expensive, but 100ml of Naxos can be had at discounters for almost 100 bucks less than 100ml of Tobacco Vanille. 100ml of Naxos can often be had for around what 60ml of Sauvage Elixir can be had. I know which one I'd buy. Shop at discounters people.
Now this is useful content
Too late😂😂😂😂. I already went crazy with the Iris Fragrances. I have a few Different ones from the Gentleman line and a couple from Dior and an alternative to Valentino/ St Hilaire Amber Chic. You are right though. I could’ve just bought DH Intense and probably been just fine. DH Parfum is awesome too.
Great video
I love this series
Bought Lattafah Khamrah last month. Realised it very similar to stronger with you that i havent worn in years
Thank you Omar for the insights ... what do you wear to the Masjid for Friday Prayer?
Great video.. one that is so needed compared to tons of useless other videos by fragrance youtubers
Nice vid as usual, here are a recommandation if you don't already know them : the brand "Loumari"
Great fragrance line from you Omar, can I request you to create a fragrance without the use of phthalates, artificial musk or other harmful substances that affects our hormones, thanks
Im glad someone finally put an effort in pronunciation and Gentleman Society got its justice. Unfortunately still waiting for correct version of Tom Ford Beau de Jour (J in Jour is pronounced as h, like in Spanish)
Love the note of iris and I still want to build up that part of my collection with all the bangers mentioned. I only have Prada L’Homme and intense. I find it fun to see other house takes on the note. I just painfully wait for a good discount price lol. Valentino oumo intense, DHI, gentlemen privee, JPG le mal le parfum, and Armani code parfum are on my wishlist.
Hello
Is redundant to have Prada Lhomme and Prada Lhomme Intense?
Thanks, top G!
I just bought 1 Million Parfum and it reminds me of the most wanted which I already own. There's a slight difference but the opening is pretty close.
I love this video. I think you should make a video for redundant fragrances but describe the occasion of when to wear them. For example, you have a signature scent but you wear one as a daily and the other for special occasions. Idk if that makes sense..
That makes so much sense. Especially if one is more expensive or niche
Jpg elixir and pegasus are not much similar to me.
The one Luminous Night, and Initio Side Effect can fit in here as well. Similar scent profiles. I have both, and actually struggle on where and when to wear them.
I actually sold Side Effect a couple weeks ago for exactly this reason. They smell similar enough so there was no way both would actually get worn. Side Effect garnered more compliments, but I like The One Luminous Night a bit more and I could get more for Side Effect, so selling Side Effect was the choice.
@jimlittle5769 it is actually the weirdest conundrum, as Side Effect, at such a high price point. Is actually easier to find than LN. I honestly smthought about trading SE (For Oajan), but it might actually be a more usable LN.🤯
Dude, you just saved me some money with this video.
OMAR! Video idea, whats the next generation of mens fragrances going to be (post sauvage aventus) kind of a prediction of where you think the industry is going! 😊
After testing out these hype clones I am coming around to the quality over quantity side. Thanks bud
Amen man! I don't knock anyone if they like and want clones. Everyone should buy what they want. Having said that, I don't want clones. I'd rather have the real thing.
Thoughts on Althaïr? Also any youtuber you recommend for women perfume?
I didn't want to agree with you Elixir and OFG but I do. I find alot more occasions to wear Elixir. Not too many for OFG even though I love the fragrance. For a while I had Lalique White in Black and Detour Noir. When I bought my bottle of Layton, I gave my father the Detour Noir bottle. Even though Layton and redundant, I rather spray the Lalique often and wait to use Layton for when I go out.
For Azzaro The Most Wanted, are you referring to the Parfum or the Eau De Parfum Intense? Which are you usually recommending in your videos? Got 10 ml samples of both, but they sort of smell the same. After the initial (whatever this means) the EDP Intense gives a "hospital" vibe on my skin while the Parfum does not.
The black bottle, EDP Intense.
Hey Omar can you do a xerjoff buying guide
You know I was really confused seeing tobacco Vanille and Xerjoff Naxos because they don’t smell even slightly similar but after watching I see your point more.
Idk what he means by Naxos being hard to wear though. I think for a tobacco scent it’s got some really fresh citrus, florals and honey that make it almost an all year round scent.
@@ArcadianWaheelayeah it’s my signature I think it can be worn anytime other than really hot summer days. I’m certainly not going to black tie events with it 😂
i have dior homme parfum and valentino uomo intense, dior homme parfum sometimes too heavy, so the optional is valentino uomo intense
The Dior Homme Intense take is true, however i dont think that the Givenchys are redundant. Especially reserve privée and the original eau the parfum are amazing and can stand next to homme intense
But only if you search for something.... more/slightly different than "just" an evening Iris scent. If an evening iris scent is excatly what you want then yeah, go with Dior, but if possible i recommend trying the givenchys, i like em (except for boisè and society)
I have no issue at all with having both Dior Homme Intense and Gentlemen Reserve Privee. If i HAD to choose, I wouldn't even have to ponder it, I'd take DHI; however, I don't have to choose, so I have both 🙂
Can't wait for the Head Turner fragrance you're releasing 😁
Thanks, I think you’ll love it 👌
So if i dont buy absolutely its better to get jean paul le male le parfum since i have already azzaro most wanted ?
What an amazing video!
Can you please answer the same question about lomme ideal edp and extreme? Should anyone own both?
Thank you, and personally I think you can between these two flankers as there is enough difference in their concepts and character between them
@@SchoolofScent saving up then... Thanks brother.
Sedley and Percival. Ive been coping since that purchase.
To me, Sedley is strictly for warm/hot weather. Percival, to me, is more like a standard blue fragrance that doesn't shine in one season more than another and is equally nice all year round. I chose Sedley because I was cold weather heavy and wanted some great hot weather fragrances.
Hey Omar, would you recommend Moschino's Toy Boy ? If so, what are your thoughts on it
Yes, 10/10 Fragrance imo but try it first
Good job ! However i disagree about Sauvage elixir and Oud for greatness. I would say that Oud for greatness is similar to PDM's Kalan and more similar to PDMs Haltane (oud for greatness is an older release) . I also own Dior Homme intense as well as Givenchy's Gentleman EDP and Valentino's Homme intense for which i agree that they are very similar. I also find very similar PDMs Herrod , Spice Bomb and Joop's Homme wild (on the same genre)
No one fragrance can take the place of the other. Each fragrance has nuances that are irreplaceable. For the sake of the impact of purchases on our pockets, I agree with your groupings.
It is bond #9 chez bond that smells like green Irish tweed, not blecker street. Blecker Street smells like Ralph Lauren's purple label.
Between Purple Label & Bleeker which one do you recommend?
@ThirtyThreeHipHop I have used a lot of purple label in de past but only used samples of bleeker Street.
I personally prefer Ralph Lauren's Purple label to Bond #9's Bleecker Street.
I also prefer Bond #9's Chez bond to Creed's green Irish tweed.
Thanks
I have Naxos and Tobacco Vanille. I'll buy Naxos again when the bottle runs dry.
good video
Wait, I am in a serious relationship. Am I a F boy because I want the most wanted? NOOOOOOO
Hot take:
Mancera Auod Lemon Mint vs
Rasasi Daarej
Hello,
What about Prada Lhomme and Prada Lhomme Intense?
I understand that you are not impressed by Stronger With You Absolutely because of how similar it is to the SWY line overall, but comparing it to The Most Wanted is not appropriate to me. They do have almost the same vibe, yes, however SWYA smells of higher quality ingredients and is more smooth as opposed to the sharp spicy, screechy, bubblegummy, overly sweet Ethyl Maltol blend that is Azzaro's TMW. I will say that I have both and had TMW for longer and before getting the SWY - I loved it. But since i've had and tested both for a longer timespan, I have to say that in this case it's actually worth to save up for the slightly higher price tag of the Armani's, knowing I don't even wear TMW anymore.
Waaaa, where was this video a year ago???? I, no joke, have each and every one of these frags!!! Smell great and broke as hell! Good, informative video, Omar!!
Thanks Ren, I need to be faster next time! 😳
Versace Pour Homme = D&G light blue eau intense
Azzaro Wanted by Night EDP = CK Euphoria Intense
@schoolofscent Thanks a lot Omar, for making this video. You actually lessened to my suggestion. I just like the video and suspected to your channel 😅. For me I have The One and Jazz Club and I think it is redundant to have both of them. Also, i think almost any fragrances with vetiver as a dominant note, is kind of redundant to have more than one.
sorry but you've lost it, Naxos and tobacco vanille? Pegasus and Le Male Elixir?
Nice video. But i strongly disagree with a lot of the fragrances mentioned. You can definitely have both a lot of those fragrance. For example stronger with you and azzaro most wanted, la male elixir and pegasus. Jpg Le beau and allure Homme sport extreme among other fragrances you mentioned. My advise is to buy what you want as long as you like it. 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🎈
Since I’ve started my niche journey I’ve noticed that I love Tobacco, incense and smoke in my frags and I want to get as many of those as possible. I already own Nishane “Fan your Flames” and TF “Tobacco Vanille” and 4ml samples of PDM “Herod” but Naxos & Opus XIV: Royal Tobacco from Amouage are on my list to buy next (one day😅) amoung other tobbaco based frags. Maybe I will wait on Naxos and Royal Tobacco for now and go in some other direction.
IMHO Naxos and Royal Tobacco are not tobacco forward like Tobacco Vanille is. I've smelled Fan Your Flames once but it was after smelling at least a dozen fragrances before that. The idea of tobacco and coconut together sounds so interesting.
I LOVE the smell of Herod, but it's very week off my skin. That's saying something because quite a few notoriously bad performing fragrances do just fine on me.
Amouage has a couple smokey fragrances
Mickael Kors jet black and burberry London have the same note, but london is slightly more "Christmase"
But hey it's like 1/3 the price
republica by the fire place is also inspired by stronger with you cologne
Is pdm herod and xerjoff naxos redundant?
IL be waiting for the review of the new house of lattafa line
Xerjoff Naxos must be put on head on with Mugler Pure Havane
Imho Givenchy does iris better. Boisee is a masterpiece.
There are so many different Flanker of most wanted, that I can't remember which one I totally disliked, due to a sample I had. Now I avoid all of them. That Flanker thing is about making money in the 1st place and it started to suck some time ago.
I’ve been doing this for years. Stopped me buying unnecessary bottles just cause they’re new or hyped
I am very guilty of this. I have so many scents with a similar vibe. I have 16 fragrances from which 6 are quite heavy on vanilla for starters 😅
Great video, but isn’t man in black more similar to spicebomb extreme ?
I would say closer to the original but hey it’s still Spice Bomb at the end of the day 😂
You’re right, my bad, brain mixed something …
Agree with you so much on DHI and its copy cats! Nothing beats the OG 💪
Are Alexandria 2 and Ombre Nomade similar?
Similar fragrance family but different feel imo
Haha great series but gotta disagree strongly with Naxos and Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. Im certainly not a millionaire and I own them both, I don’t think they’re black tie exclusive at all I’d almost go as far as to say Naxos is my signature scent it’s so versatile
On my skin Nishane's Fan your Flame and Xerjoff's Don smells almost exactly the same except for that little coconut scent that's in FyF. The same goes for ATH's Hard Candy Elixir and Sauvage Elixir, on my skin they smell almost identical. I own the Sauvage Elixir so I will not buy Hard Candy.
I don't understand how people say that SWY Intensely and Absolutely are so similar, because to me, Intensely is so much lighter and more airy, whereas Absolutely is incredibly similar to The Most Wanted. Because of this, Intensely almost comes across as a niche frag, whereas Absolutely, while definitely a good scent, is much more mass-appealing and in line with the Wanted DNA/line. Honestly surprised that so many people and/or reviewers online tend to always point to Absolutely as being the best of the line, whereas IMO, Intensely is the best and it's not even close. Tomato, Tomahto, I guess.
