Hey Everyone, we hope you enjoy this one. For those not familiar with the process of how these are constructed, we spray a testing strip with each fragrance without the guest seeing any sign of the bottle/branding to get an honest, initial reaction of each fragrance off the top. After they smell every fragrance, they then will go back and smell them all again following them drying down for some time to decide what is their favorite and least favorite.

True. I am coming to the realization that unless you are a frag guy or girl, just test different fragrances and buy what works for you.

Heavy tobacco / vanilla frags NEVER translate well on test strips. Also, quite a few of these only come into their own during dry-down, and stabbing your nose into most frags is never a great way to assess any scent.

They did have a chance to smell them all again after they dried down before ranking. We didn't show them smelling them all again because it would add another 5-10 min to the video. The only thing I can think to do is to have a strip that was sprayed long before also available to them but smelling off skin with this format would not be possible. Either you get a larger sample size this way or it is more focused around one fragrance off skin which probably is not as fun to watch.

@@kufresh1988 I am nowhere near an expert but it’s a journey and as you smell more fragrances, you realize that designers are usually very flat and don’t have much depth. Whereas some of fragrances capture you with top notes and take you to other places as they dry down. I think the natural oils etc. are more expensive and complex scents may be pricier. Since the majority of people do not wear fragrances or don’t care much, they have to sell it for higher prices to compensate which makes them somehow niche in the market. Probably the best way is to go to fragrance stores and smell them. Getting small samples are great since you can experiment better.

Fragrance enthusiasts on suicide watch after some of those reactions. LOL. I thought some of the notes, like "garbage" and "mint" were interesting for scents that have none of those notes. Also for me, as I'm exposed to more fragrances, I feel like when I go back to one I didn't like, it smells different the next time around. Like my reaction to frederic malle musc ravageur, I thought it smelled like powdery chocolate dust sitting in an ash tray, but I went back to it weeks later, and it seems to have evolved.

a lot of the testing isn't done exactly the best way. smelling a fragrance right up to your nose will make it smell A LOT stronger than it actually is, also some notes of certain things like tabaco do not transfer well on smell sample paper.

Hahaha this was interesting… there is a reason that everyone is not a fraghead … many people don’t have sensitive noses and can’t detect the same notes that others can. Just like not everyone appreciates art in the same way- or food, or wine. We are all very different and we are into different things, so it is interesting to see how just a regular person who’s not into fragrance finds these fragrances initially. I guess there is a reason we have mass appealing/ crowd pleasing fragrances that are so popular… These must be the fragrances that most everyone’s noses can pick up and detect as pleasant. And people who are into fragrances are usually more adventurous and open to something different from the crowd. This video was cool to watch.

Interesting perspective from individuals with enhanced sense of smell. They are giving us perspective without marketed bias. A lot of houses out there today copy eachother in base with slight overtones. And many others use clever marketing via commercials to sell you on the experience via celebs, but really you could get the same scent from whole foods, or burlington coat factory, air freshener, or certain bath soaps. This is what happens when you have the same houses dominating the markets looking for profits, rather than artists wanting to share their works with people.

As a fragrance collector for many years, I found this review to be amazing! I have watched hundreds of hours of other perfume reviewers, and this was so refreshing as it was so much more real and down to earth. Authentic!

It's amazing to see that random people pretty much dislike most of the niche and high quality frags. Niche is just not for the normal nose. And then it also makes perfect sence when they say they like Aventus the most, cuz it is blue and very likable...unlike most of these!

It’s very interesting to hear what people smell when they don’t know what they’re smelling. If you told them the note they’d have a sudden realization like ‘OHHH that IS what I’m smelling’

I actually own all these and I can't wait to hear what is said.... first off, Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540edp gets me more compliments than any fragrance I own in my collection. Hands down! I am 6'2 225lbs and covered in tattoos. I find that BR540 makes me very approachable! Fico di Amalfi is amazing! Light and great for the summer time. Longevity is abysmal at best. 4 hours tops. But very fresh and inviting. These fragrances need to be sprayed on skin. Lots of naturals will play with your own chemistry. I can tell when the test strip was just sprayed and it wasn't left to dry down. These fragrances are not ment to be shoved in your nose and smell off paper. These were designed for sillage, how they are, when smelled in public. When someone walks by and you are at about an arms length all these smell very different than when you put your nose on paper. Scent is very subjective, this was amusing though. 😆

I love this way of showing fragances

*Tressa* is the star of the show. Her analysis perfect. Please invite a man onto the show and have him paired with Tressa. Everyone else can go.

That girl got serious charisma. She is the type of girl to come on STRONG on a guy, lol.

Great video. It’s a real kick to find out you’re into fragrances too. I’ve watched your watch videos for years, and it’s obvious that you and Courtney have brought your experience making videos to this channel. They’re all very well done. That said, this video hurt A-LOT of feelings. But keep it up please, I enjoy seeing the “normies” take on our beloved stink water.

Tressa is on a whole different level 🔥 thats the girl that i want with me when I am buying a perfume

I could watch these sorts of reactions all day.

Tressa is hysterical she needs her own channel just critiques on personal items. Her responses are raw, real, aloof, and funny as hell

“Are they making fragrances with bike tires?” LOL ..... I really enjoyed this, thanks for the laughs. After a day of blind buy fails, and watching this video..... I now firmly believe you have to try a scent on the skin before you buy it. You should LOVE it - regardless of price or status.

Santal 33 is my daily, but it needs to dry down! It’s such an exquisite fragrance! I don’t like Aventus on my skin, yet it’s the most chosen in this video. I like this style. If a video can be done like this with one house at a time. Like 6 scents from Tom Ford in one video.

i really like this type of video due to people judging what they really smell not the packaging and the brand .. and i love the effects and the songs in the back goood job

Great series! Please do more of these!

When you get into fragrances your tastes evolves so much. Red tobacco is my favourite of these and BR540 my least favourite. BR540 smells like pure sugar water.

I ordered a vial sample of Baccarat Rouge 540 and it is now one of my most favorite scents. It is an amazing fragrance. I don't understand how they don't like it?

The most likely answer is that test strips aren’t 100% accurate. But they’re not 0% accurate either

Love this KZread channel. Excellent format

Oh, Baccarat, my darling! 😁 I honestly wasn’t expecting this. Happy, happy.

To be fair to Red Tobacco, it probably needed twice the dry down time as the other fragrances.

I’m surprised by the reactions to santal 33. Literally hotels use the scent because it appeals to most people.

Oh man it is so interesting to see how different everyone's sense of smell is!

Love these blind reaction videos. Keep them coming.

I'm so shocked over their reaction to Santal 33! Literally one of my go to fragrances 😂 like how many people think I smell like stuffed cabbage lmao. I always get so many compliments but it makes me wonder if some think I smell like an older man covered in sushi smoking a cigar... 🤔

these people don't wear fragrances, their noses are just not adjusted to things that are more then soapy. Its normal.. You would not like a bottle or appreciate a red wine of 90$ if you sometimes drink on occasion or only drink 5$ bottles LMAO

Yeah I literally couldn't even wrap my head around what they were saying. I think it smells so good, and everyone I know really likes and they've got no reason to lie to me. They're saying.. stuffed cabbage, and garbage?!? Like I know what golumpki smells like and it smells absolutely nothing like Santal. I just kind of can't believe them or think they have something like medically wrong with their sense of smell.

Please bring this group back! They’re funny, honest, and not into fragrances. I think it actually adds an insane amount of authentic value. Great job 👏

No way. I love your watch content, but never did I imagine that you would cover fragrances as well. Easy sub. Great video!!! Can’t wait to watch more💯👌🏼🔥

It’s hard to test fragrance on a paper. I had tried perfumes smell so badly on the paper but transformed beautifully on my skin. This is why it is advisable to try perfumes on your skin.

Love the variety of reactions. That's real life for ya. 🤭 Red Tobacco on paper = ouch. 😄

Most Tobacco frags are generally extreme in reactions… Very hit or miss. But I do say they usually smell a bit better in the air vs directly on skin or paper. No surprise Aventus and BR 540 as the favs

So this was an interesting video, and overall pretty well edited and produced. The one rather major problem I have with the way this was done is that because we (the viewers) cannot verify in any way that the #’s and scents actually match, it would be incredibly easy for the companies making these scents to make a “charitable contribution” under the table to the people making these videos in order to insure the video is edited so that their particular scent appears to be the “favorite”, thus acting as a very powerful marketing tool to drive customers to their scent. If these video reviews are to be taken seriously, they absolutely must be produced differently so that the viewer is able to easily see there is no bait and switch type activity going on.

This was DOPE!!!!! Keep ‘em coming!!!!!

10 stars thank u for being honest, the average Joe and Dane don’t love niche. It’s not easy

Baccarat Rouge 540, one of the few fragrances that smells good on skin AND on a test strip 👌

Hysterically funny. When I wear BR540 it just turns heads constant compliments and “what is that that’s amazing.” Same thing when I wear anything from PDM. When the guy said he’d spray BR540 from head to toe, I was like OMG that’s 3 spray at most.

I love Herod, but I'm glad someone compared it to a candle. Whenever I smell it, I picture a candle being blown out due to the smoke note it leaves behind.

Mancera fragrances are definitely an...acquired taste. Even the vaunted Cedrat Boise is polarizing. There's a reason why designer fragrances are good: designers got a lot of money riding on them, and they don't want to shit the bed. I feel like niche fragrances are exactly for *niche* audiences, and niche audiences like some funky stuff.

Cedrat Boise was one of my first fragrances. Blind bought it (don't recommend doing that lol) and was disappointed. Tried to wear it several times and ended up leaving it on my shelf for months. Came back to it a couple weeks ago and I really enjoy it all of a sudden? Fragrances are weird lol. EDIT: I didn't like the smoky vibe I got from it. Now it's either not as noticeable or I actually enjoy it. Can't really tell.

It gets better after a few minutes on the skin. The top notes do smell herbal so it’s a bit polarizing but after a few minutes it’s divine.

I love watching these videos. Just like your other video about "Everyday people judge expensive watches" or something to that effect. It brings awareness that most people don't know or care about these things, and how vastly different their opinion is compared to enthusiasts.

Loved this type of content!

I appreciate how they had people with untrained nose reacting to these fragrances, since I get an idea of how the general public would think of the fragrances.

To all my niche enthusiasts out there, dont worry your fragrances still smell good on you since your body skin and chemistry is not made of paper lmao. Also 90% of the time when people smell the sillage of a fragrance coming from someone’s skin it smells a lot better to them. there is a reason these fragrances are so popular, they are compliment magnets.

Very cool. I’m a huge fragrance fan, it was really cool to see just a “laymen” perspective.

Keep doing these, you can't go wrong.

This channel is sweet. I feel if they had an opening and a 10 minute dry down would help alot. Curious about more Killian and amouage

Very well done video! Really liked it for this subject.

well . I should say that I own around 1500 fragrances and do videos or articles even have done some my own creations for like 20 years. so I can say this is the most unique and intelligent ideal I seen about fragrances reviews. thanks god its not like every one else of reviewers sit and talk about what they think (personal idea or some times bs ideas like fake one just want to make a video and upload as a ruttin . ** buy you guys do the right thing ❣️💯👌to asking random classy and casual people without they know what is that thing is their ideas. as I seen some of them have very great skills or talent about that I think I seen you guys had some videos about watches as well and that one was great as well .just last word well done and keep going I am a fan . all the best
