Ten 10/10 Fragrances! | Niche Edition 

Here are mine: 1.) Creed Aventus 2.) Creed Erolfa 3.) Bond No. 9 Bleecker Street 4.) Parfums de Marly Nisean 5.) Parfums de Marly Galloway 6.) Parfums de Marly Pegasus 7.) Parfums de Marly Layton Exclusif 8.) Parfums de Marly Percival 9.) Amouage Reflection Man 10.) Nishane Vetiver

#1 10/10 niche fragrance for me is the Spring King- Green Irish Tweed. Projection, longevity, compliments. #2 for me is an Amouage fragrance that doesn't get much love- Beach Hut Man.

Fabulous choices Chris. Thank you for the very unexpected shout-out!

Really good list Chris. I’ve never really been sold on Creed’s Viking, but the general quality of your selection has me wanting to get my nose on the ones I don’t own (namely Pardon and the Argos fragrance). Thank-you!

I figured it would be best to visit your house often, so I can spray away some niche without breaking the bank. Thank you so much for the video, Chris!

lol Dijaredoo. Just got a Viking sample and yeah, think I’ll have to pick that one up. It has a cooling effect like you would get from shave cream. Kind of even smells like a spicy shave cream. Just picked up Initio OFG and have Herod on the way! I love how the mail looks these days.

Great list! Lately I've been obsessed with Initio Oud For Greatness, Nasomatto Pardon, Nishane Hacivat, Kilian Straight To Heaven Extreme, T. Terenzi Spirito Fiorentino, Marc Antoine Barois Ganymede, Jovoy Private Label, Jovoy Psychedelique, Dior Ambre Nuit, Xerjoff Alexandria II. Keep the videos coming 🥃🍻

Love your insight. My 10/10 cologne is Himalaya from the house of Creed. It takes me back to a place and time back home in Washington DC. I too also love Viking. It reminds me of getting a fresh haircut at the barber shop as a young man. Not so much Old Spice but a well done Bay Rum scent.

Great content as always my man, I'll have to give Oud For Greatness another try. I can't really nail down just one 10 out of 10 niche fragrance without giving you a few others so here's mine: Nasomatto Baraonda, Oud Satin Mood, Mancera Red Tobacco and Instant Crush, Herod and Carlisle, Xerjoff Naxos, Silver Mountain Water and Amouage Reflection Man

Solid list so far my brotha.Always fire choices up in here.Proceeds to watch as I grab my popcorn 🍿🍿🍿

So many frag chats in Australia love your videos. You are a class act.

Want them all! Great list, Chris!

Enjoyed Brother, BANGER LIST 🔥🔥🔥

Chris all of these fragances are game over... I have some of these. Nice vídeo and choices., Regards from Portugal. 👍👌

Great list and I enjoyed it and i like andy tauer air de marocain and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day

This video has just helped me settle on ADP Essenza as my first niche fragrance!

100% agree. Have all but Argo but can totally agree on the rest.

Great list Chris .!ove all my PDM’s

Deh-jer-ee-doo, Chris. Your content is the best. ✊🏽

Excellent video! Anytime i see 10/10 Ill always find those worth sampling

Great video and list Chris! I absolutely adore Creed Viking. And, since it’s getting warmer and warmer here in the states, it’s about time to break out some Acqua Di Parma. Oh, and uh...”Didgeridoo”. As in...didgeridoo you play an instrument? I’m a drummer myself. Be well Chris!

Enjoy your channel a lot. Keep up the great work.

Glad Viking got some love it’s amazing

Thank you! Finally someone else who loves Viking.

Hi, Chris. It's really hard to pick just ONE fragrance. So here is my list (in no particular order): Xerjoff Naxos Creed Viking PdM Herod Amouage Interlude Man Initio Oud for Greatness Diptyque Vetyverio EDP Creed Green Irish Tweed

Enigma is fascinating. I just bought it, and was shocked by the heliotrope blast in the opening. It was a shock to get that floral, citrus vibe drying down into the boozy, smooth vanilla. Unlike anything I've ever smelled.

I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND the "damp earth" reference in terms of unusually pleasant smells...when I lived in the country, I was so drawn to the combination of hay , apple blossoms and cow manure wafting from one of the local farm ...can you imagine?

You could do 10/10 fragrance types niche additions... date, night, spring, summer, and so on and so on....

Great choices and food for thought, Sandalwood by Geo. F Trumper is my personal favourite, perhaps you could do a future video on the Trumper range, there's some really good ones in there, thanks.

Thanks a lot for this amazing video and other amazing videos! Aaaassand, Didgeridooooo!

Got a bottle of Desert Morocain after watching this vid. Absolutely adore it. MAsterpiece.

“The Tingles” 😆 always enjoy your reviews! 👍

this was much easier than the designer version, i think because these were just clear 10/10 whereas for the designers i had to ponder is it really 10/10 anyway to the list 1 xerjoff rich wood this is my holly grail scent, its i am pretty sure the most expensive scent in my collection- rich wood smell well like rich wood its a mysor sandalwood with a gorgeous rose note a semi chocolatey, semi earthy patchouli , its just so luxurious it a panthy dropper , its versatile as hell, yes the price is challenging, but this is the best sandalwood fragrance on the market in my humble opinion 2 lartisan perfumier noir exquis i can best describe this as the love child of bond no9 new haarlam and replica by the fire place- its gourmand gem , really well priced, it has notes of coffee, maple syrup, chestnut, orange blossom, vanilla , tonka and ebony wood, which gives it a unique edge. 3 eldo like this this a new arrival in the collection but it deserves to be here to put it simply it smells like a pumpkin spice latte its fall in a bottle and it was done in collab with Tilda Sweden , which i think is cool 4 amouage dia man , amouage is my favourite house, dia is my favourite amouage i heard someone describe it as jubilation and reflection mixed together, i think that is mostly accurate , how i would describe it is as the most delectable vetiver scent with notes of plum, incense , vetiver and ylang-ylang i, its signature scent worthy, it is a hidden gem, great more for me 5 bond no9 manhattan this is a mind-blowing gourmand its head turning it has peach, plum, saffron, coriander, jasmine, patchouli, honey, gingerbread, caramel, suede in the base the gingerbread reminds me of a christmas market, when the wind carries this the sillage is 3-4 feet its a conversation starter, also somewhat underrated 6 by Kilian bamboo harmony - this smells like a japanese stone garden, i mostly got it because it reminds me of my trip to Japan, plus it is incredibly calming it has notes of bamboo, which is photorealistic smelling, it also has fig leafs, neroli and tea it is clean and calming and it just helps you focus 7 creed viking it just smells like a boss , or how i imagined a boss would smell like , its an amazing confidence booster 8 bois 1920 verde di mare this is here primarily for nostalgic purposes it reminds me of my childhood , but what it smells like the Mediterranian shore in late spring it is a salty aquatic but it has a lot going on there is tea, rose , even juniper berry 9 mancera wild cherry this is a more affordable , i would say better, alternative to TF lost cherry it smells like a cherry pie with vanilla ice-cream performance is amazing , 10 guerlain iris ganache its sad that this masterpiece is really difficult to find now, but i manage to procure a partial what this is iris and white choclate and the guelinard accord and its just heavenly

Had a feeling the Andy Tauer was in here, my decant needs to be a full bottle. Such a varied and very enviable list, beautifully refined. That Initio bottle is a stunning bottle, sounds a wonderful scent profile. Very excited to receive my first Marly fragrance soon, Marcus is top class. Sounds like a Viking Longhorn perfect sound effect

Great list, my all time favorite fragrance is creed royal oud

Chris, fantastic video. Hopefully I can get enough niche fragrances in the future to do a list video like this one! Cheers

Finally a little bit of appreciation for Colonia Essenza

Didgeridoo Chris fascinating list just bought another bottle of ADP Essenza beautiful fragrance timeless and elegant. Thank you

My TOP 10 "10/10" fragrance list: Creed - Aventus Parfums de Marly - Layton Parfums de Marly - Oajan Guerlain - Vetiver Tom Ford - Oud Wood Tom Ford - Lost Cherry Acqua di Parma - Arancia di Capri Tom Ford - Mandarino di Amalfi Casamorati - Dolce Amalfi Creed - Jardin d'Amalfi

Very good list, I find some parfums that I never heard before.

My No1 is Fragrance Du Bois Sahara 💕 Then Initio Oud for Greatness and then Kilian Black Phantom. Love MFK Grand Soir too.

My number 1 is Wood satine mood from MFK❤ it was love at first sniff and i hope this will exist a long time because i want to wear it all my life

Great video! Roja's fragrances always intrigue me! 10/10 video 💯

autum and winter. Hahaha. I live in Louisiana and our 4 seasons are summer, summer, summer, hunting season. I have to agree with you on Enigma. I have the PC and Parfum. It's a 20/10

Another great video Chris to keep us going during these interesting time's. One you have to try if you've not tried already is Halfeti by Penhaligons, I've never smelt anything like this my number 1 signature scent absolutely stunning. Ps how's your fragrance coming along?

Well, excellent video, end is the most funny and natural at all time Chris, and I again from 01 to 10 give you a 12!!!!! So, you tell as soooooo many information, and I can tell you that I have only one Aqua di Parma, Colonia Club and I found its gorgeous scent! For others, I must watching again your video, and one by one tell you what is my opinion! At the end this time, I agree with you, choose ten something in sooo rich world is wery difficult and heavy work, find 10 THE BEST!!!!! In few days I take my complete review your video, but now I can tell just this, excellent work dude!!!!!

Gorgeous List Chris!! 👌🖤❤️

Just one 10/10 niche. hmmm. Ani from Nishane. or GIT from Creed. or Fougere Royal from Houbigant. or Cedrat Boise from Mancera. all 10/10s. But your list has some intriguing entries, Chris! TY

Hell yeah Viking! Great picks, Chris. Edit: My second 10/10 fragrance at the moment is Tobacco Vanille.

No need to apologize chris. Your videos are great and I was thinking you were going to put a bortnikoff in this list. But a great list

Brilliant list! Do you guys experience any kind of difficulties with some of the viking batches? I feel like for the 18g01 batch they toned down the spiciness and it lost a bit of its... ooomph that I enjoyed so much. Maybe my bottle needs to mature a bit more, just bought it a couple of weeks back as a replacement once my previous one ran out. I would be interested in your opinion! Thanks!

Really good list! So many I’d like to have in my collection. My 10/10 niche is Gold Knight by Kilian. A masterpiece in my book.

Loved the last part😅😂😂 typicall!!

I decided to sample Enigma Cologne in the recent heat. The projection is no joke! It completely chocked me out but wow what a beauty it is. I am getting a bottle when it gets colder.

Always bought designer mainly on cost but Just sampled cedrat boise it's very nice so might make it my first one

HEROD is my no.1 10/10 fragrance. Thanks for the video...

There's only a couple here that I haven't tried, but I absolutely agree with all the rest. Great video! 💯🔥🔥🔥

Thank you, Chris! Great video! My niche list 10/10: Hervé Gambs - Infusion Noire (#1 for sure) LM Parfums - Kingdom of Dreams La Manufacture - Admirabilis LM Parfums - Scandinavian Crime Kilian - Intoxicated Onyrico - Enigma Amouroud - Santal des Indes PDM - Layton

Didgeridoo. Reflection man is a total banger for me. The Mrs goes Gaga when I wear it 👍

All of argos frags are amazing

Nice perfumes on your list!!! I found some new inspirations from your video to try on soon. Nasomatto Pardon (absolutly amazing) Herod, Viking, oud for greatness are on my list of best perfumes, too. I like Carlisle from Marly better than Herod and Interlude black iris from amouage much better than reflection man. I also much like tobacco oud and ombre leather from tom ford and MFK Grand Soir. I have to check Roja enigma that so many are talking about :-). Thank you for your great video and infos.

Another great video!

Hey Chris, I was wondering if you've smelled Eau Duelle EDP by Diptique? On Fragrantica its been compared to Enigma by Roja Pafrums - would love your take on it. Great vid as always

Ohhh gawwwwd I hate that - everything's quiet until the work begins. Props for your didgeridoo patience Chris. I always felt like M&W's Tabac was the niche version of Old Spice though. How about a review? Dirt cheap classic powdery aftershave scent with tobacco, lavender and oakmoss. Would recommend either the vintage aftershave or the current edc. Always wanted to try the Fire Power version too....

I just DON'T understand the Reflection Man hype. I tried it on skin. A good 8mls of it. I don't get it. It's not awful, but I'm definitely not paying the Amouage pricetag for it.

how differents are reflection man vs aqua essenza? I have tested reflection and i really like it but don't proyect as much as i would like

Hi. I am a new subscriber. Your channel is amazing and your reviews very exactly and clear.

Just bought Mancera Red Tobacco (my first niche fragrance) and it was a little too much for me at first but now I can't get enough of it

I have read you can dry out a bottle of rum and use the resin leftover for perfumery, I may be mixing information up, but I am currently doing just that lol

Still gotta check out Argos! I’m curious, is there a reason Enigma is called Creation-E in the states or am I getting it all wrong?

Although I haven’t bought it yet, Acqua Di Parma Leather is the one for me! Or Ermenegildo Zegna Indonesian Oud

Hi Chris great video, I was wondering could you make a a video of best 5 or more 10/10 niche fragrances for the summer ? I gather Reflection, Bergamo 22, Acqua Di Parma Colonia could be considered. Best, Chris

Hello Chris! When it comes to Carlilse, I wonder how you compare it to tobacco Vanille. Which one do you prefer?

What is your favorite from Diors prive serie or maision christian dior that is what they kall it today ?

Nice list Chris, we have similar tastes. Pardon, Reflection Man, Oud Wood, Aventus, Millesime Imperial, Neroli Portofino, Grand Soir...these are my only real 10/10s. Viking would get a 10 if the opening was less harsh!

Banger list bro!

Love Creed Viking and Pdm Herod!

Tauer LDDM is a masterpiece! Long time ago I smelled this one for the first time and my first impresion was” this frag smell like a dead man😂”. After I smelled at least 1000+ frag, I’ve found that one of my friend has this frag and I wanted to give it another chance, and woaaaaaaaaa.... I was completly in love about the uniqueness and the development of this fragrance. It is simply a masterpiece and now I understand why is considered one of the best frag ever. Greetings from Romania!

My favorites are Ambre Précieux from MPeG, Carnicure from Marlou, Enigma, Oud for Greatness, Armani Prive Bleu Lazuli (does that count) and I dunno what else..

There's an ancient prophecy that speaks of a cataclysmic event: fragrance reviewers will finally pronounce French perfume names correctly. Just joking around XD, great video as always, Chris.

Oud for greatness is nice in warm climates if layered with a sweeter fragrance i layer it with MFK Baccarat Rouge 540 extrait

Great video. Thx!

Great video and I love ❤️ Creed Viking🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 too

So L'air du desert Marocain is transporting from tropical to desert...is it wearable all year around? What do you think? For Viking i agree..nothing like old spice but shares many similarities and i put it in the same Bois Du Portugal category and the only difference is that i feel Bois du Portugal is outdated and Viking is a newer version of it..i feel same accord Creed is using here (i like bois du portugal a lot i have Dua Clone...) I don't have Herod but i tried it and i know it...it is a long lasting fragrance, i wonder if there is a formulation difference...i own the Dua clone of it which smells nice but unfortunately couldn't find it similar in richness.... not like their Layton clone let me say.... I had a most cheaper Paris Corner clone for Herod and it was closer...

Didgeridoo in a Star Wars long, long ago! 😆 I really need to smell Oud for Greatness once the shops start to open.

didgeridoo! love the last 50 seconds :D Nice Video

Great video.. aroma from heaven

Chris I found a original formulation of Dior Parfum 2014 batch tester no cap but pretty much full for 75 usd at a Mall fragrance shop

Can you try memo Paris oriental leather African leather and Amouage opus private collection

Wearing ADP colonia essenza today beautiful summer scent

Colonia Essenza gets a huge thumbs up from me!

Bro do you know a place where i can buy roja enigma and SHL mortal skin ? It seams like these two are nowhere to find anymore. These two are one of my favorite niche fragrances!!!

nice list brotha!

Smell wise 10/10 for me would be niche----aventus, herod, oud wood, ombre leather, layton exclusif, reflection man, viking, smw, br540 extrait, grand soir, oud satin mood Designer---Dior homme parfum, prada lhomme/intense, bdc

what do you think of initio side effect and initoo blessed baraka, surely 10/10 too?

Wonderful video, excellent fragrances! Distractions are just a part of the norm now...lol. Didgeridoo

Awosme selection.... can you make top 10 best dating fragrance plz ? 🌹

Good list, you shoul try Blue oud of arabian oud, is amaizing for me.

I never got the hype for Tauer's The Moroccan Desert. All I smell is incense. Cool name, though. I never got much performance out of Colonia Essenza. Reflection Man is on my list. I really enjoy Beach Hut.

Layton Exclusif, Beau de Jour (Private Blend version), & Sultan Vetiver, all 10/10.
