So I’ve been binge watching quite a few of these men’s fragrance videos but I absolutely appreciate 3 things that are unique to yours: 1. Blind reaction, so you’re not being swayed by designer branding. Though it’s understandable each person has a preferred scent 2. Having the price listed, so if I’m considering getting it I know right away how much I’d spend 3. Reacting to both the freshly sprayed and having been sitting for a while for each scent because it matters Thank you!! Hope to see more of these from you

While I very much appreciate her opinion and reactions, she’s one woman. Not all women love these scents unfortunately. I also know women that don’t like any cologne for various reason no matter how idiotic the reasoning is. My point is go with what YOU like. Since fragrance is hit or miss based off of personal preference, it’s hard to find one universally loved by an entire sex lol. Also, the amount you spray... for the love of God please be aware of how much you spray lmao.

This is because when you keep smelling fragrances, the smell you pick up is changing overtime. When smelling prada l'homme for a long time, you will miss the nice top notes and end up with the "weird" smell. I really csnt describe it but i would say prada is one of the best ones of the list tbh

I love how she was so practical with her approach. This is the type of review/testing I'd love to see all women do. It just puts a sharp knife through any bias that a reviewer might hold and I wish this type of video was standard in the fragrance reviewing world.

Your fragrance videos are so well done! Exactly how it should be, completely unbiased without knowing the brands or seeing the bottle! Your Prada L'homme reaction is the exact same my girlfriend has when I wear it, one of her favourites. Keep up the good work!

I absolutely loved your facial expressions of each fragrance before you even commented.. it was so honest and refreshing.. great job!!!

Dior sauvage smells basic on paper but when I used to have it, it knocked women the fuck out. On paper, or even in general, actually, it's definitely not exotic or flavorful, UT something in it seduces females when they smell it on man.

I appreciate you doing these rankings. I did notice that in the second and third rounds of smelling the scents you smelled both the initial and dry down at the same time. This is the reason why your ranking totally changed. Unless someone sprays themselves over a couple of hours, how the notes appeared to smell in 2nd and 3rd rounds would not represent the smell if someone used it in normal use.

Yep, i can conform this, First Instinct is one of my most complimented frags, next to Bleu de Chanel EdP and Creed Aventus and i own over 140 Niche fragrances, from fresh to sweet and heavy dark blends. There you go fellas, you don't need expensive fragrances to smell good. Great video!👍

This is the way to do a blind test. Both the opening and a proper DRY DOWN. I wish some of the popular fragrance reviewers can take example from your excellent video.❤❤❤

Lol, First Instinct may be my favorite fragrance (I love the melon). Being that I live in FL, this kind of fragrance works perfect for any beach/pool party type occasion. Coach for Men (another favorite) is done in the same vein as First Instinct, where they use a semi-sweet fruit note on top of an amber/suede base…those are my favorite type of fragrances. Fun video!

I have found you can't really know if a cologne will smell good on you by just sniffing it out of the bottle. Your own body chemistry plays a big role on what smells good on you. A fragrance that a woman likes on one man may be repellent on you. That is why there is so much variety in the market and why men will stick with one cologne for decades.

Hi. thank you for doing this. Fun to watch. people have their own opinion when it comes to smell.

Hi Courtney, I would love to see you reviewing some niche expensive fragrances like anything from Le Labo, Comme des Garçons, Frederic Malle, Penhaligons, Clive Christian and Commodity to see if they’re really good or just over hyped

Love these style videos. So many guy channel fragrances and it's nice to hear a female perspective.

Hi Courtney. I’ve never tried any of these fragrances but I like a few of the CK range that you haven’t tried yet. These fragrance testing gives me some insight into what I could do when taking my next girlfriend to find a men’s fragrance that she likes and wants me to use.

Best organization of scent cards I have ever seen.

Eros is the one cologne I get a ton of compliments on! Along with Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male, Armani Acqua Di Gio and Issey Miyake L'eau D'issey Pour Homme. I've worn colognes that just didn't mix well with my body chemistry. I like to buy the really small bottles to test first to see if it works for me and then get a bigger bottle if I really like it.

There are no wrong choices. Dior Sauvage is polarizing . . . some love it, others not so much.Very interesting ranking. Thanks for sharing :D

There’s a new flanker called First Instinct Together smells great, almost a carbon copy of Invictus Aqua

I get compliments like "you smell good" or "you smell nice" or "I really like your cologne" or "what are you wearing?" from many of the fragrances in this vid...but the only one that I have gotten the compliment "you smell really sexy" with (a few times) is Sauvage! Francois Demachy put some magic potion in that juice! Lol I suspect it simply comes down to Sauvage smelling very pleasant in the air (great performer), its both sweet and fresh and very masculine (with that cool metallic ambroxan vibe) at the same time. All bases covered.

Legend does smell good, but most agree that the performance is VERY weak. If I'm lucky I get 3 hours on my skin, and the last hour has zero sillage. That's why I would recommend Percival from PDM. It's a similar smell, but Percival smells better, it's blended better, the performance and sillage is outstanding, and overall Percival is a much higher quality fragrance. Yes it's a lot more expensive per bottle (Legend is $35 for 100 ML and Percival is $186 for 125 ML), but in the long run I think there's more value because you don't need to spray nearly as much and a bottle or Percival could last 4-5 times longer depending on how each performs on your skin. I get 12 hours from 3 sprays of Percival.

I like how u did this.. Most fragrance reviews give ppl the opening...which really only lasts around 30 min after spraying. To me 1 hour plus is a true review, because after u spray urself, by the time u get to where ur going...the opening is gone.

Late to the party but I love these videos, here are some recommendations for the next one: Bleu de Chanel, Mont Blanc Explorer, Spicebomb Extreme, Armani Code Profumo, Nautica Voyage. Would also be funny to throw in one of the mainstream niche fragrances like Creed Aventus, Parfum de Marly Layton, or Tom Ford Tabacco Vanille.

I would love to see more of these episodes and then have a "final" where all the top-ranking fragrances get pitted against each other so we know who is the best of the best
