it's that time again! today i'm going to talk to you guys about fragrance news as we do every
month. Today i'm sharing with you guys 10 brand new fragrances 2021, so if you guys want to know
what they are and my thoughts on these fragrances stick around it's up right now ;)
Welcome back to another video Max Forti here, if you guys love to make a great first impression, if you love to smell great,
this is a great channel to check out because i always share with you guys some top
options to do just that. In this video i'm going to talk to you guys about 10 brand new fragrances
that are hitting shelves as we speak or have been announced that will be hitting shelves
in the next few weeks or so. These fragrances are the ones that probably caught my attention the
most, that's why I'm sharing with you or I heard buzz through the channels through other means of
fragrance communication, other forms just like the Emporium of Scents fragrance group which I share a lot
of these fragrance news before I record them into the video, so if you guys want to be in the know
even more so, further information that you get here on the channel, stay current in my social
media, my instagram MAXFORTI, everything is just Max Forti and also the iEmporium of Scents
fragrance group on facebook which has 25000 plus members sharing the love and passion that we have
for fragrances 24-7. Without any further ado guys let's hop into these choices there's a lot of
ground to cover, 10 fragrances, let's go. Before i start talking about the fragrances themselves
i want to give you guys a quick recap about 2021 so as we've seen it's been another one of those
years of flankers, intense eau de parfum kind of gimmicky releases, a lot of fragrances
are just more of the same, nothing really has been extremely groundbreaking, few and far between good
releases, i think the best releases of this year so far have been from the niche side of things,
which is quite expected. We have some good news here from some of the designer fragrance houses
because they are deviating from just "more of the flankers" releases and we're actually
getting some standalone brand new releases from such brands, which is quite interesting, one of
these such brands is Calvin Klein which is for the longest time has given us nothing but flankers and
now has given us a new release called DEFY FOR MAN, this particular fragrance here is called
an aromatic amber fragrance which has citrus components, lavender, some spiciness, some earthy
woody and green facets, some of the notes here are going to be lavender, bergamot, vetiver, and amber,
now the note breakdown is quite simple of course, there's a lot more to these fragrances than meet
the eye, we all know that fragrance houses will not disclose exactly 100% what the fragrances are
or what the kind of elements that they actually put on these fragrances, but they give us a nice
pyramid or structure so we can get an idea what these fragrances will be once they get
released, so what i'm looking here when i'm looking at the fragrance itself, the
bottle got a really cool looking, i do like the design, i think the cap is going to be
plastic so nothing really crazy but i do like the contour of the bottle, i think it's actually
pretty cool, it's got this blue kind of juice i'm hoping it's not more of the same, but i'm
very hard pressed to think that this is going to be a unique and groundbreaking scent, the
notes look interesting i do love the bergamot and lavender up top as opposed to in the heart, usually
lavender is a heart note, i do love the vetiver heart note here and the amber at the
base could be a combination of different things, they could be adding labdanum in here as well so
it could be rather a green scent, i am curious but i'm not holding my breath
i will share with you guys as soon as i actually have the pleasure to smell this fragrance. Next up
we have another one from a designer brand this is going to be another standalone release called HERO from Burberry
the bottle itself looks a little bit simplistic or minimalist, the juice itself is going to be a
yellowish tin kind of a juice, this is going to be a fresh, spicy, aromatic, woody, citrus type of
a scent, so i'm thinking this is going to be rather a lighter scent when it comes to the
notes though it looks like it's going to be a nice woody, spicy kind of a freshie with bergamot,
juniper black pepper and cedar, I do love the black pepper and cedar combination, usually
becomes very aromatic and inviting. There was a fragrance released years ago from Marc Jacobs
called Marc Jacobs Bang which was a cedar and pepper fragrance, I absolutely adore that smell,
i just wish it was a little bit stronger, i even think they released an intense version of that
but it was not intense enough, so i'm hoping, i mean i love the presentation here because,
it's very minimalist, even the box looks minimalist with this cardboard square box
with a white label and black lettering, i do dig the presentation, i like the minimalist
approach here and i like the combination of notes, i think it's going to be rather a linear scent
but it could be rather good with that cedar and pepper combination, i think it could be a very
good signature scent, a day-to-day, office, workout scent, or just casual, I actually think i'm
more curious about this one than Defy from Calvin Klein, but yet to be seen. Next up
another designer brand with yet another standalone release, this is going to be Ralph Lauren's
RALPH's CLUB, it's going to be an aromatic woody lavender earthy kind of a fragrance
said to be a spicy but in a softer side of things, from the people that have actually tried this
fragrance and have told me, "hey Max don't expect too much here, this is going to be rather more of
the same", a sweet lavender herbal vetiver woodsy kind of a base, so i don't think this is
going to be a great release and a lot of people comparing this to H-24 from Hermes but a little
bit creamier a little bit spicier, i'm hearing some different things that has similar vibes
to Jean Paul Gaultier or Sauvage mixed up on a lighter more softer kind of a version of those
two fragrances, it could be Ralph lauren's answer to Dior Sauvage, again, yet to be seen, as soon
as i get myself a bottle I will obviously share with you guys my full thoughts on this fragrance,
but from what i'm reading I had high hopes for this one, I love the bottle, it almost has like
this whiskey flask kind of a nuance to it, love the color scheme here, the metal with the dark
glass, but from what I understand here it's going to be more of the same as well so
don't hold your breath because this seems to be another gimmicky release from Ralph Lauren.
Now, the one that i'm really curious about besides Ralph Lauren's Ralph's Club,
is actually POLO SPORT FRESH which is a flanker
to a fragrance that i loved and wore for many years, it's summer time and i have
yet to see this fragrance for sale anywhere, so if anyone watching this video have had the pleasure
to try Polo Sport Fresh the 2021 flanker that i shared with you in the previous fragrance news,
please let me know where you found yours because i definitely want to get a bottle. Now following
the gimmicky intense, eau de parfum or parfum releases we have a LAcoste release called MATCH POINT EDP
2021 release which is a flanker to last year's fragrance which I did talk to you guys about,
i think i shared in a first impressions video with you guys which was the original
Match Point which was very similar to Paco Rabanne Invictus Aqua, a bubblegummy sweet
lavender and grapefruit with a lot of tonka and ambroxan in the base, this one here says to have
a lot of citruses up top with grapefruit, lemon, limes, and pink pepper, which is quite nice, lavender,
cardamom as well as vetiver, patchouli, cypriol and cashmere in the base,
potentially this could be better than the one from last year but from the note breakdown i'm
thinking it's gonna be probably an even sweeter and deeper and a little darker spicier version
of last year's Match Point, so another one that i'm not really holding in the highest regard or really
having high hopes for, but i'm still gonna check it out, try it and let you guys know
if it's worth your time and money, there's a new one from Abercrombie & Fitch and it's been a few
years, i think Basic Instinct was the last Abercrombie & Fitch fragrance that i featured here
on this channel, it's been quite a while since i've been excited for an Abercrombrie & Fitch fragrance
they're just underperforming, not as good, even the old Fears which i did enjoy
a lot over the years has been heavily reformulated and it's not even a fifth of the
fragrance it once was, this one here is called AWAY, it's a man's release, the bottle looks pretty
cool almost like a Nautica Voyage kind of a bottle, the juice is also bluish, the note breakdown
really got me curious here, we're talking vetiver, woody notes, sandalwood, geranium, ginger, black
pepper, violet, pineapple, and grapefruit, so they already have an Aventus clone. I don't think
this is going to be an Aventus clone, i do enjoy the pineapple and violet up top here, the pepper
and ginger really got me going, the geranium could add some mintyness and freshness to this fragrance,
vetiver and sandalwood at the base, this one has potential from the note breakdown,
if the notes are well balanced and the fragrance is well structured this could be one of those
cheapies but really good, so this one i'm really excited about and i can't wait to get my nose on
and of course share with you guys. Now, here's one that's getting a lot of limelight in the community
especially in the Emporium of Scents fragrance group and other fragrance groups people are talking
about this being a great release for 2021 if you like citrus aromatic blue aquatic type scents
this i have talks of this from people telling me and letting me know "hey Max you gotta check this
one out, this is like one of the best releases of this year so far", and this is of course KENZO
HOMME EDT INTENSE. This fragrance here, the bottle itself looks like a bamboo,
a bamboo stick and the notes are pink pepper, sea breeze, fig, wood, vetiver in the heart,
sandalwood and patchouli in the base, like i said, i heard a lot of great things about this
fragrance, that it's long-lasting, it smells amazing, it's pleasant, it's quite unique, so this one here
perhaps is classified as a woody spicy, the note breakdown here looks great and i have to be honest,
from the designer side of things that i'm sharing with you today, this happens to be one of the ones
that i'm really holding my breath and really excited to try because Kenzo for the most part
i'd say 90% of everything i've tried and own from Kenzo is actually good quality, good performance,
and actually pretty unique, off the beaten path, so i'm excited about this one guys.
Let me know in the comments if this one sounds exciting to you, if you guys are equally as
hopeful with this fragrance as I am, please share it below. Speaking of excitement this one here has
really got me curious I do enjoy the line and of course i'm talking about Bvlgari the Essence Men
Collection, I love this fragrance line, Wood Essence is great, Neroli Essence is amazing, this one here
is simply called Bvlgari Man TERRA ESSENCE, the bottle is
ambery in color, the notes here calabrian citron, calamodin which i believe it's like a citrus
fruit, more of a bitter kind of a citrus in the heart, we have vetiver, aurus concrete, iris butter,
earthy notes, and styrax. This could be a very powerful scent, from what I'm looking here at the
note breakdown, it could be this nice citrus bitter woody and earthy kind of combination
which i do enjoy, i'm looking at the bottle itself, the color scheme, i'm thinking Aqua Amara, could
this be kind of like Aqua Amara but maybe a little bit more pleasant? I do enjoy here the vetiver and
iris that i see in the heart, the styrax earthy notes could be something unique along with
those citruses up top, this one here has me really curious, i do enjoy the Essence Collection and this
is one that i'm really excited for, I just heard about it, literally yesterday, and i'm
recording this video today to share with you guys this brand new from Bvlgari Essence Collection
called Terra Essence, I'm really hoping this is a great one for this year. Now, Aqua de Parma owned by LVMH
is releasing a whole bunch of new fragrances, I do enjoy this new bottle
look that they have, which is a very dark and black bottle with the gold lettering and
embellishments, this one here is called OUD & SPICE, it's a brand new release, announced
last week so it should be hitting shelves in the next few weeks, when it comes to the
note breakdown of Oud & Spice, it has bergamot, raspberry and rose up top, the heart comes with
cinnamon, pink pepper and cloves, so cinnamon and cloves I love, in the base
laotian oud, patchouli and labdenum, so it's going to have this "oudy" green kind of earthy undertone,
lots of spices, pink pepper, cinnamon and clove in the heart, this is going to be a bomb, from
what it looks like, it's going to be a nuclear type of a fragrance, i'm really getting into oud
fragrances so i'm hoping that this is going to be a great one for fall and winter coming up in a few
months, really high hopes for this one, let me know if you guys heard of some of the new
Acqua di Parma releases, what do you think about these darker releases from Acqua di Parma?
I'm for one really excited about this one. I got two more releases for you guys here to complete the top ten,
one that's getting a lot of talks in the groups but the funny thing is as i'm recording this video,
before i started shooting the video i was looking to see the notes real quickly to share
with you guys and good thing i had shared this on the Emporium of Scents a few weeks back, so it's still
at my Emporium of Scents facebook group because as i'm looking at fragrantica, as i'm looking at Base
Notes, as i'm looking at Parfumo.net, there's nothing about this particular fragrance right
now it's like it's almost like it's been pushed back or retracted because again i wasn't
able to find anything today, I had to refer back to the Emporium of Scents facebook group
to be able to retrieve these notes, the fragrance i'm talking about is LUNA ROSSA from the Prada
Collection which is highly regarded, thiso ne is LUNA ROSSA OCEAN, a 2021 release,
notes are bergamot, iris, vetiver, and caramel, it looks very unique, bergamot and iris is
a lovely combination, both smell amazing but then the vetiver of course at the base i love,
it gives me this woody sensual earthy kind of a nuance, which i love in my fragrances,
but then the caramel here is quite a different take on this particular fragrance, because the name says
OCEAN, i'm thinking aquatic blue scents but the actual notes look more of woody and spicy so
what comes to mind here when i'm looking at the note breakdown i'm thinking maybe it'll smell
similar to Nuit de Mejev from Eight&Bob or maybe something similar to Vetiver Tonka from Hermes
i'm very curious about Luna Rossa Ocean for two reasons, number one, the note breakdown looks
really good, and number two, it's been retracted from every single site that i normally look
to find about notes and fragrance news, so quite curious about this one. Let me know your thoughts
on this one Lunarossa Ocean, are you guys a fan of Luna Rossa lineup of fragrances? which one
is your favorite? what are your thoughts about Ocean guys? are you guys excited about this one?
let me know in the comments. Last but not least we have one brand new release from La Vestiaire Collection
from Yves Saint Laurent, this is called ROUGE VELOURS, or velvety rouge, or velvety red if you translate
from french to english, the note breakdown looks fire on this one guys, we're talking white tea,
pink pepper, rose, jasmine, iris, vetiver, patchouli, and musk, so iris, rose, vetiver, patchouli, musk,
white tea, pepper, the juice itself looks like this pinkish hue, reddish kind of a color, I'm loving
the note breakdown guys, i can't wait to try this one, I love La Vestiaire collection, there's a lot
of great ones, Cure is a great one, Tuxedo gets a lot of talks, Kaban is a great one as well,
there's a lot of great fragrances in this house that are quite underrated because of the price
point, people don't normally talk about them because you can't really find the stuff at
discount websites, but i'm telling you right now, Rouge Velours got me and I love this note
breakdown, i love tea fragrances, this looks to be spicy, a little bit floral, a little bit earthy as
well, with the musk and the vetiver, it could be a very sensual juice, one that could be probably one
of the best date nights, romantic setting type of fragrance, that I might wear for next year's
Valentine's day, so I really curious about this one guys. That will do for me, 10 fragrances, top 10
new releases that i heard about, that i couldn't wait to share with you guys, and i can't wait to
actually try them to let you guys know if they're good or not. But let me know in the comments have
