I have sensitive skin, so unfortunately that means having to apply cologne on my clothes
no too shabby
Can you make a video on fragrance mistakes to avoid
If you havent tried it Sculpture parfum (blue bottle) is finally back in stock at a few places. Would be curious for your opinion. My favorite spring/summer/fall scent.
I noticed and liked the fact that the colognes appear on the shelf behind him after each review...👌👌👌 Just a small detail that tickled me...😀😀😀
I haven't found much on the South Shore. I got Vibrant Summer today, I'm loving it, 💯% beach vibes!
Thanks for the knowledge. Many good points
Great video as usual. I always spray fragrance on my bare chest, inside arms and on my neck. Always works and I always get compliments. I'm in retail management and I am on my feet a lot, so I leave a nice trail
My friend I just got a large bottle of this on Mercari for $21. I can't wait to get this in my hands. I have wanted to try this fragrance for a bit now but just haven't pulled the trigger. I just couldn't pass it up for $21. CRAZY!!! Thank you for making this video. Really really good. Be well my friend and have a beautiful day today.
In all seriousness, I have corrected so many friends, firmly but politely, on not rubbing fragrance into their wrists. Sometimes firmer or more politely than other times. Nothing us upsetting the same way as giving a friend a nice fragrance as a birthday gift or something and then seeing them rub it into their wrist. Once a friend sent me a picture of a shower caddy they had with a spot to put their new bottle six inches from the shower head and I almost had a stroke.
👍👍™️
So George let me ask you this please when you spray your shoulders are you spraying your bare shoulders or are you spraying the sides of your shirt
Invictus Victory Elixer 3 sprays max…max
I spray a lot every time. Even with strong fragrances because I think I have a skin that sucks all the fragrances up. For example, Sedley by PDM doesn't perform well on me, and I do 20 plus sprays with that one. I never heard of spraying your chest and stomach. I will try it. 😅😅
Good point some skin just eats the scent!
I'm sure everyone around you loves that 🥴🙂
@@robertbyers1923 it's okay. There's always the option to go somewhere else.

20 sprays of Interlude Black Iris…. Simple rule of thumb 😆 Kidding. Just 2 is enough. Some freshness, 8-10 as you say, plus a few on clothes My Bentley for men Intense is reformulated. Only the opening is strong, then comes to skin scent in your 3. So 6 sprays plus a few on clothes. Profumum Roma fragrances, because is high concentration, rubbing lightly is recommended by the house. Each fragrance is different. Cheers
Well said!
Good video! Yes I'm sure it's going to help some people.the inside of your forearm is good place,at least when you wash your hands it's not subject to come off so fast as opposed to your lower hand area. Situation is crucial your in going to be in dictates how many sprays ad you mentioned.thanks
Well said Vance.
Would consider myself experienced with wearing fragrances, but watched the whole video anyway to support the channel 💻 I normally live in the same range of sprays as you described, but I personally don't spray my clothes. I spray on the back and sides of my neck (never on the front of my neck or upper chest, makes me go noseblind far faster in my experience), occasionally my arms if I'm wearing short sleeves. Side note: I think it would be cool if you spoke more about how many sprays you wore of each scent in your weekly wears videos. Ik it can be hard to remember, but I find that most fragcomm KZreadrs either don't talk about how much they spray or you just hear the illogical "spray everything 30 times, bro!" BS that makes absolutely no sense
These are great points Ryan! I will definitely consider your suggestion as well.
Well said, I agree with everything you said. Also not a presentation guy (I buy fragrances to smell and wear, not look at) but I do appreciate a nice bottle and boxing/packaging. This is blended so smoothly and even though it might be synthetic, it’s pure quality. This lasts all day on skin and clothes. Love getting whiffs of it 8 hours later. My signature scent.
Great choice for a signature!
A little disappointed here. Really thought you were gonna say you went to Burlington and picked up 50 cent pour Homme for the concert! 😂😂
Damn!! Missed opportunity right there my friend lol
Mystical Metal is a favorite from Zara at the moment
I'll gave to try it!
I wouldn't mind smelling the OG but what I have is a inspired by instant crush fragrance made here in the Philippines in Manila and it has a lot of five star ratings/reviews.
Weekly rotation this week is: Zadig and Voltaire This Is Him!! Undressed Penguin Brand Premium Blend Tommy Bahama St. Kitts Lalique Encre Noir Parfums De Marly Sedley Dolce and Gabbana The One EDP Banana Republic Modern Man
Great mix!
I want some
So good!
Is there a link for this item so we can purchase it,thanks
Vibrant Leather Explosion is very impressive. It reminds me of Cedrat Boise Intense. The fragrance community is sleeping on many Zara offerings because so many reviewers are shilling for the Dubai clones. In the meantime, Zara is using name perfumers and few notice.
I think part of it is that the fragrance enthusiasts are sick of Zara pushing out great smelling fragrances that last 20 minutes and would rather discuss fragrances with actual staying power. Zara seems to be doing a bit better making higher quality longer lasting stuff lately but they built quite a negative reputation over the past few years among many people in fragcomm.
@@AndersonDesigns978Studios That might be but most of the influencers with the largest subscriber bases are reviewing fragrances from the middle east like they're going out of style and have ignored nearly every good Zara release over the last 2 years. I think the main reason is that they can't make a buck out of a Zara click through link and aren't thrown free bottles by certain discounters that seem to import a huge amount of units from the middle east.
I couldn't agree more. I want to feature more going forward.
@@AndersonDesigns978Studios The problem is that the YT reviewers with the most subscribers are looking to make a living out of this, and they can't make a quick buck if there isn't a Zara click through for them in the show more area. A guess is that one of several discounters who specialize in stocking loads of middle eastern fragrances is sending many of them free bottles on behalf of the fragrance houses in Dubai. Many of Zara's releases over the last few years have some excellent performance. Don't you suspect that because Zara does use name perfumers, they're guaranteed by Zara that they'll use quality perfume oils and less synthetics than the middle eastern houses use to amp up performance?
does it project?
Yes!
Looks interesting and I love tobacco fragrances. I just picked up Boundless from Amouage.
How is it??
@@gerardgeorge it definitely takes some getting used to. Very spicy opening which sticks around for a while before it settles down to a more comfortable tobacco scent. I think it will be a great fall/winter fragrance though.
Question, does this 5.07 ounce come with the fancy box? Just got mine in and it didnt have thw fancy box as the 3.4 oz bottle?
Nice to know about,not familiar with this house,I'm not sure there's one in Oklahoma! Have to check etc thanks
Let me know Vance!
I like this way of doing the video. Very non traditional. Good job!!!
Thanks for the feedback!
It's BRU-TAL in Boston this week, so it's light stuff for me. I actually wore Elysium PC layered with Elysium Parfum yesterday and today it's Arrakis by SOK.
You are right about that!
Alexandria Fragrances has one that is close to this called: Law of Attraction. It's rather good.
I'll have to check it out!
Maceration is a thing with these middle eastern fragrances, I have a few I've had for over a year in my collection and they're so much more richer than before
I agree!
I bought Burberry for 70$ but I’m not mad
I'd pay that as well! I've bought bottles at full price back when it wasn't at discounters.
too late, i found a used 125ml with 100ml still left. i got it for 50 bucks! 🤫😆
Nice!
It's alright, decent for 25$ but definitely not some life changing fragrance.
Thats fair.
Dua is great I love there originals!
I've been impressed with everything I've tried.
Imperium its a great cheapy and my wife love it.
Glad you can both enjoy it!
I have like 1/8 bottle of himalaya left and it’s killing me. It was a splurge for me. Himalaya is the goat for me.
Oh man cherish it! I will probably wear this week or next myself.
TOM FORD COSTA AZZURRA PARFUM ......A favorite for me too.
Amazing choice!
Collab with redolessence Steven ??
I would collab with him of course!
That saturday pick resides in my top 5 or 3 of frags in my collection and in overall, so yeah, is amazing CA parfum, Last week I receive a bunch of scents from zara I brought earlier in July, and I used them all thru the week, in this particular order, Monday: Eau/01 Amalfi coast Tuesday:Bogoss Vibrant leather (fruity Pinnaple juice) Wed: eau/02 Tanto Amore Thru: LTH/02 Leather freestyle (citric leather) Friday: TOB/03 Tabac Treasure (the best) Saturday: Vibrant Leather Explosion (Aventus + BR540) Gotta say this new week is already down in the calendar spots all filled and today I wore Green Irish Tweed from the one and only Creed.

What do you use for teeth whitener lol
White strips from BJ's brand and Crest whitening mouth wash.
Perseus by PDM is loads better than Elysium. Worth the dough
I've tested it and liked it a lot.
Testing Greenly for the second time it’s ok it’s not going to replace Percival or Sedley for me I’m going to test Perseus tomorrow.
Same here. Good scent but I have other favorites Sedley being one.
47 and bvlgari pour homme smells like a nail salon to me I don't wear it but son's have gotten into it
