Collection, we have VANILLA DIORAMA, which is getting a lot of limelight a lot of people are talking
about this one, and last but not least we have EDEN-ROC that i'm really really curious to check out.
So guys let's get sniffing, let's get trying these seven fragrances and let me tell you exactly what
i get out of them and by the way guys i think you know this by now but all fragrances here will be
listed below and i'm also going to list the exact place where you can try them before you buy them
you guys know perfuum.com is the best place for sampling fragrances for trying fragrances before
you buy them so you don't have to buy these big bottles that cost two three four
five hundred dollars a bottle you can try them to live with the scent make sure you love it
and then get a bottle if you truly enjoy the scent and the great thing about perfuum.com is that they have
an extensive portfolio, fragrances niche indie and designer, incredible, very very affordable decant
pricing so you guys can check this stuff out and of course there's an even better deal going on
right now than my max15 code which is code TREAT, celebrating halloween, the time you're watching this
video there's only a couple more days for this sale because it is a halloween sale so on the
31st at midnight it's over so guys enjoy buy one get one 40% off with code treat, details are
below, enjoy. Let's kick things off here with Versace Eros Parfum i know this is getting
a lot of limelight especially with fragrance channels or people that review mostly designer
fragrances to be quite honest with you guys i'm not a niche snob by any stretch of the imagination
in fact i love my designers but i usually go for designers that are older formulations or
vintage stuff because what's coming out today is very much cookie cutter more of the same
uninspiring really releases that we're getting just tweaks here and there but it's all
around the notes of tonka vanilla and ambroxan in some way shape or form so let's look
at this one here the bottle here is very similar to all the different Versace Eros that you guys
know, nothing changes, it's a cool looking bottle but what we really care about here is the juice so
let's check this out. All right so without having any experience whatsoever with this fragrance
right off the bet it's going to be extremely close to the original and to be quite honest with you it
is a good smell but it's a "been there done that" played out, if you go out
clubbing if you go out with youngsters out there, Dior Sauvage, Eros, YSL Y,
a lot of those fragrances are going to be what you're going to smell out there so
this is definitely one of those dnas heavy tonka vanilla some spices nothing here that's
gonna wow me or nothing that you haven't tried yet especially if you're in the fragrance community,
it's very similar to the original, i still like Eros Flame the best, i think because of the composition
itself it has a little bit of an herbal a little bit more mature vibe that makes me feel better when i
wear that fragrance, it's not as playful not as youthful as the Eros original edp or parfum
not that it's a bad scent guys understand me correctly here it smells good but it's that just
more of the same and i haven't really tried to see if it's going to be better performance but from
what i hear is that they captured the longevity that was missing from the so reformulated original
so now this has a little better performance but the scent itself is nothing new it's just
Eros in a different concentration, simple as that. Next up we're going to go from Maison Margiella the
Replica Collection this is going to be Autumn Vibes, i was really looking forward to this one guys
number one because i love my autumn fragrances, especially autumn and winter they're
heavier, i love my leathers, my boozy scents, spicy woody amber oriental those type of scents
so i'm really looking forward to checking out Autumn Vibes, from the notes it looks quite good
i don't know if it's going to be great, there's not much reviews on this fragrance out there
from the first blast here on the blotter what i'm getting is a fragrance that's going to be very
creamy very smooth a little bit spicy but not astringent not sharp at all just very creamy
very smooth spicy maybe some cinnamon in here i'm getting a ton of sandalwood
and in fact this is actually reminding me a little bit if not a lot of Santal 33 from Le Labo, it's
like a spicier perhaps even creamier version of Santal 33 from Le Labo, not a bad thing
because i do love that fragrance so perhaps this is something you want to look into you know when
you look at the notes it's got pepper it's got carrot seeds it's got oakmoss some spices here
maple so like i said a spicer creamier version of Santal 33, i think it is the best way to put on this
one so definitely worth checking out absolutely one that i would suggest you guys to seek
out, search for, wear it, try it, it might be your next best find. Next up we're gonna check out Leather
in Bourbon, i love leather i love boozy fragrances this one here could be a great find
from Scents of Wood which is a brand that i'm really bragging and talking and sharing
with you guys all year long because they are great, everything i've tried from them there
hasn't been one fragrance that i tried that i didn't like, some i like more
but i like them all and so far Plum in Cognac has been one of my favorite finds of 2021 thus
far, top three for sure. The packaging is great on these when you go on the website you can actually choose
the metal and the actual color of the bottle from a few choices given which i think it's quite nice
it looks like a a heart shaped bottle and again you're going to have this little metal here it
says Leather in Bourbon, i hope the camera can focus if not that's what it says right
there this has a dark metal cap with a beautiful creamy white off-white looking bottle so Leather
in Bourbon guys, i'm really excited about this one from the notes it looks amazing from everything
i tried from the brand this could be a great one for 2021. So it's definitely very leathery a little
bit boozy but not as boozy as i would like it to be but it is nice and this has a tuscan leather
aqua de parma leather type of a vibe which is a great thing it's really good leather fragrance
i mean they capture the leather essence here perfectly, this has a lot of spices on top we're talking
cardamom we're talking pink pepper so it's a very spicy almost sharp leather facet which is actually
very nice, this smells like it's going to really pop off my skin it has a crazy melange of notes in
the heart into the dry down we're talking styrax patchouli amber birch sandalwood i mean this is
good stuff guys really amazing leather fragrance right here if you like a very in your face
spicy and bold leather fragrance Leather in Bourbon is a great one i don't see a bourbon
note mentioned in a note breakdown and i would like this to perhaps have had more of
a bourbon effect here and perhaps become more boozy on the skin but i think it's going to be
more of a spicy leather than a boozy scent to be quite honest with you but needless to say a
great spicy leather scent at that. Next up we're talking Parfums de Marly and this is Oriana, this
is going to be their latest release for ladies, when it comes to the presentation
Parfums de Marly is unparalleled second to none they do a great job from the bottles to little tassels
little crystal up top, it's good stuff, a heavy cap quality and packaging when you see it
and you know they're definitely doing a great job with their packaging now let's look at the juice
this is quite nice this is going to be a ambery floral scent very well made very
well constructed i can see my wife loving this fragrance or any lady out there trying
this fragrance and really enjoying it there's a very nice fruity vibe up top that's creamy
let's look at the notes real quickly so on the notes we have orange grapefruit and bergamot
and raspberry so definitely a melange fruit it's very fruity it's very creamy that's what you're
going to get here in the introduction, it's going to get you, if you love fruity
fragrances this is definitely a very predominant fruity scent, you also have black currant and you
also have orange blossom so it's a really fruity fragrance to the max, the base gets a little bit
gourmandi and i think it's going to be even more predominant with that gourmand facet on
skin because you have marshmallow you have unbret you have musk and you also have whipped cream so
this is good guys this is borderline a gourmand scent but i would classify this more of a fruity
ambery fragrance with a gourmand touch this is good stuff if you definitely like fruity
fragrances guys this is definitely one to check out or to give your significant other as a gift.
Let's check out Oud for Happiness. Oud for Greatness is one that i do enjoy i own that
bottle and i love it so i was really curious about this one hence the fact why i picked up the bottle
Oud for happiness i don't know much about, Oud for greatness is one of the best wearable
oud fragrances out there it's very sensual it's very smooth very creamy, the oud note is almost
for support it's not really in your face it's not barnyardy or hard to wear and i'm thinking
this is going to follow suit in the same kind of a vibe that you get with that other fragrance so
let's take it for a test drive. Again, talking packaging, great cap, beautiful stand
here the bottle looks great, it's very similar to every Initio Fragrance, Initio Parfum Privê, the only
difference here between this one and the other one is instead of just the gold and black you have you
know some green embellishments here with the gold so let's see what we get out of Oud for Happiness
again i am a fan of Oud for Greatness i think perhaps it's a little bit too sharp on the price.
This one here guys is very nice, it's following suit like i predicted
with Oud for Greatness it's a very nice and wearable oud scent and this one perhaps has
a green kind of undertone perhaps that's why you have the green embellishments here. There are musk vanilla
and herbal component in the base hence the fact i'm getting this green undertone perhaps there's
no cannabis listed as a note if this was a little bit smokier you could perhaps say that this has a
cannabis note but no cannabis listed so don't take my word for it but it is definitely a very green
aromatic oud type of scent the vanilla here is very toned down so
not very sweet at all but a good oud at that this is definitely going to be
less sensual than Oud for Greatness but just as good. Last but not least we have the two
Maison Christian Dior, let's check out Eden-Roc first. Have you guys heard about these two
new releases? what do you think about Eden-Roc? what do you think about Vanilla Diorama
let me know down in the comments, let's check Eden-Roc first, these are beautiful bottles though they
do a great job the sprayers are like second to none they're like the best sprayers in the game
and Eden-Roc is gonna have a very mineral and sea like marine aquatic type of undertone is what
i'm getting here from the first introduction of the fragrance, all right so we have
mineral notes we have citrus sea salt jasmine coconut, I'm not really getting the coconut here
pine tree and labdenum, so definitely very green and marine type scent but this is going to be a
spring and summer type of a fragrance that's where i would wear this fragrance predominantly
i wouldn't really seek this fragrance to wear right now in the fall winter because again
right now the coconuts coming through and it's giving me a very nice sun tan lotion kind of a
vibe along with that marine sea breeze type of a vibe it's a good scent it's not bad but again
definitely more for spring and summer. Now this one here ladies and gentlemen is Vanilla Diorama, this one
here from what i've seen and heard this is going to be a great one for the season we have right now
i mean even the color of the juice it's a darker ambery color Vanilla Diorama,
please give me something good Dior, it's been a while from you guys. This one here is very nice
I get a boozy facet to this, it's very similar to Tobacco Vanille
meeting Enigma or Creation E from Roja Parfums, it definitely has that vibe and of course
looking at the notes we have think pepper we have orange rum here's your boozy facet cocoa or cacao
cardamom vanilla sandalwood and patchouli, this is really nice perhaps one of the best here but again
if you already have Enigma if you already have fragrances that smell kind of like this or
Oud Tabac from Amoroud i would say this is redundant but if you can pick this up for a
good price or a partial bottle definitely check it out, these are quite pricey at the Dior website
but it is a good scent i don't know as far as like performance goes but Vanilla Diorama is
great scent when it comes to the actual first impression guys it smells amazing like i said
a little bit tobacco vanillish there's no tobacco in the note more of a cacao vibe
kind of like gourmandi, it's definitely very boozy and with that booziness it's giving me like an
Enigma/Creation E vibe from Roja Parfums. Good stuff right here. So there you have it those
were the seven fragrances that i wanted to share with you guys today on this first impression first
