I agree on performance. Its funny watching some of these RU-vid influencers trying to hype cheap rack store fragrances that last all of 3 hours. You get what you pay for
Performance can be subjective so it's a tricky topic. I tried to pick ones that were strong for most people, but you're right, if people want to guarantee solid performance, they have to pay for it.
I was mad when I first received By the Fireplace probably 8 or more years ago because I thought I ordered Jazz Club, but mistakenly ordered BTF. One of my "favorite mistakes" not to quote any song lyrics.😆 I like it a lot now, and perfect in the dead of winter.... Pure XS was a head scratcher for me at first. A blind buy 7 years ago. I didn't hate it, but didn't particularly like it much either. I've grown to like it more, especially since I like boozy fragrances. However, it gets compliments. People were always asking what I had on. Will be back in my rotation starting October.... Boucheron Jaipur edp 🤩💪🤤🔥... Where do I begin? I could go on & on about this Masterpiece. I don't use that term much, but Jaipur edp is arguably the greatest mens designer in terms of scent/quality/performance/price ratio under $30.00 I've ever smelled. I was blown away when I smelled it for the first time 18 years ago, and I'm blown away today when I get a whiff of the atomizer. This is Annick Menardo's greatest creation!! Potent, Majestic Regal, Rich, Glorious, Elegant, Dapper. Special merging of vanilla, cinnamon, lemon, benzoin & nutmeg. Fit for a 👑!.. Roja Dove could take this, put it in one of his bottles and sell it for $700.00 +. People would buy it! One of the sure signs of a Masterpiece in MHO is that there's just no way to make it any better without compromising the DNA especially at that price point. I personally don't think there's any way to improve upon the Greatness of Sir Jaipur edp. Respect! ✊
I would suggest you to sample Orto Parisi Megamare, Terroni or Black Afghano. Generally any fragrance by Mr Alessandro Gualtieri. They are extremely potent long lasting with huge room filling sillage.
I think Stuart has the clone of Megamere. I don't recall what clone house, but I've wanted to sample Megamere.. Black Afghano was rough and barely wearable! I tried a sample back around 2010 😬😵🤭 Nooo, not for me! Lol
@@larrythompkins3319 Black Afghano starts very pungent. But if you spray it on clothes about half hour to an hour before you go out you will enjoy it cause the fragrance will slowly settle.
It's so weird you mention that because I first heard about megamere this week. I was reading an article on the longest lasting freshie of all time & megamere kept coming up.
@@ScentsofStyle99 oh yeah, Megamare lasts 2-3 days on my skin. I love Alessandro Gualtieri’s work. He unlike other perfumers doesn’t give the notes. He likes to give you the story and inspirations behind making the perfume. Megamare is supposed to be the Ocean. I was never in fond of art but because of him and Demachy I’m starting to see perfumery as art.
I hope you're kidding. There are a number of edt's that are extremely powerful. Fragrance oil concentration is only one factor that determines a Fragrance's strength. I'm so confident in my assessment of BTF, that I'll stake my channel's entire reputation on its power.
