My collection is pretty modest. 12 fragrances. This is one of the favorites in my collection, for whatever reason. Whenever it's a crisp Autumn or Winter Day or evening, or a cooler Spring night, I run to this stuff.
I can get this cologne anywhere in USA and most of the time on discount stores . I got this on sale from Target for 20$ and wow ! Easily compares with a niche cologne and love ,love it .
I am new to the fragrance community and your videos have really been great for introducing me to new frags that most reviews overlook. Thanks for the detailed and well informed videos. God bless you.
Awesome review Joy! Just recently bought this one blind and was relatively impressed. Funny you mention the drydown reminding you of YSL Kouros, it actually reminded me of Dior Fahrenheit personally. Can't wait to wear this one again. Love Kouros as well!
Thank you for another delightful review. My own relationship with ice cream and Fragrances is growing, so I'm relating and enjoying your stories in this review. I'll definitely test before diving in I think. PS you do 'serious' quite well also. M
I can see why they call you Joy. You are a very positive and funny individual. Awesome review as always, I will be wearing some F black to work tommorow to see if I can conjure up some compliments. Hope to drop my own reviews pretty soon aswell , take care my brother
i love when that kinda things happen...its almost as grand as finding hundred bucks in one of your old shirts lol. hope the video was helpful to you :)
Joy Amin Ahah indeed it's like finding 100 bucks on the ground. Yeah it's really helpful. I received a decant today and watch your review after applying it. You gave me the idea of putting CH men price on my other hand. I've CH men prive in a decant too but it has never convinced me so I didn't buy it. I'm going to let them dry down and will let you know what I think about them. Thanks for the video!
id like to hear your thoughts....i want to know if its just me or others feel that way also...i just realized i get the vibe of kouros from this fragrance too....the white monster :)
Joy Amin OK I tester them and none of them convinced me. I like the opening of F Black a lot for its manlyness while staying sweet but the dry down becomes a little "powdery" like La nuit de l'homme but La nuit is better in this genre. I would have bought it if the top notes stayed during all the life of the fragrance. CH men prive, I don't find it is anything special. I bought a fragrance this month: Prada Luna rossa and to me they can serve the same purpose (I wear Luna rossa now in the fall season and maybe it will suit winter too and to me Luna rossa with the mint have something more special than CH men prive. I wore it while dancing (because it's hot when you go to a dance party) and women love it.
Great Review Joy...i used to wear the F EDt..and now ive bought the F Black and for real i prefer the F too....Ferragamo is a great Name...Aqcua Essenziali Blu is a Great one too...best wishes
The level of smell detection by my nose is very low. I think Uomo by Ferragamo is weak. I have F now but I think the smell is too weak and longevity is below 3 hrs. Do you think F black would be strong enough for me?
As a person that dresses causally, but doesn’t like blue fragrances, or typical shower gel fragrances, but too casual for classy fragrances and too mature for fruity clubbing fragrances, im that weird demographic that can’t seem to find any signature scent worthy buys. Don’t get me wrong I have situational and seasonal fragrances but for once I would like to have an everyday “default” type fragrance that I can blind apply and not worry about whether it’s appropriate or not. Also if I’m going to be in a formal mood the last thing I’m going to use is a cheap, synthetic cologne even if it smells good, kinda defeats the vibe and purpose. Anyways sorry for rant, love your videos man.
I just bought it for 20 euros,(100ml tester) I really liked in the store. Now I will wait for the weather to cool down and put it on. I follow your videos regularly and I was interested to hear what you have to say about this perfume. I gathered a small collection of 30 perfumes selected based on what I heard from the reviews you do and what I like as a notes in perfumes. Thank you, I will continue to follow you because perfumes are my passion and I am interested in the topic. I wish you happiness. Continue in the same spirit!
Your a great reviewer man, i really love your passion. Just subscribed. I havent smelt this in person and was also interested in blind buyiny from the comparisons to La Nuit. Does the prominent Lavender make F Black less masculine? I'm not very familiar with lavender in mens fragrances. Oriental/spicey fragrances tend to work best on my skin so i'm quite curious. Thanks for a fantastic review.
Mehn, my order just came in of One million, Gentlemen EDP, Jean P ale mar and F black and I will tell you the F black is by far the best and surprised me on how good it smells when I taught it will be average or bad according to reviews
Hello Joy, do you think this would please someone who likes Davidoff Cool Water (that's me),or Davidoff Champion....because you say lavender ..... is it possible that this is something similar but stronger,with better projection? Thanks in advance
Hey Joy... Can you please help me, I bought this product but somehow I feel it's a fake what should I do As it is not long lasting and projection is also not much... Help 😭😭
bhai i think its because its more of a winter scent...it lasts much better in winter...in summer its very hard to wear it...also projection is low in heat
i just bought some more of this yesterday it is by fav one the best fragrances out there its discontinued as far as i now but you still find a few places that sell it its one of these fragrances that either you love it or hate it most people love this tonka bean fragrance.
such a friendly guy very nice review I like the story about how you got it maybe next your camera should point a little bit down keep up the good work and please upload more reviews about Mont Blanc greetings from Bolivia south America you got a new sucriber
i smelled it in a store and i instantly loved it but when i brought it i surprised by the longevity of it some reveiwers said it lasts about 8/10 hours but for me its just 3/4 hours max! the smell is very good in cold but the performance is very bad for me.
... everything aside, we have one thing in common for sure - I eat ice-cream all Winter! ... and I never suggest to other people to do so! ... Ice Cream is not only food for me, it is also a therapy, makes my mood better - if that makes any sense at all! ... Fantastic Review!
yes brother....sorry forgot to put it down in the description.its MITSUI OUTLET PARK, just before klia....they have many other frags at very good prices
Great video man! Would you recommend F Black or Individuel for winter time? I havent tried any but a lot of people say that Individuel doesnt smell too good.
Not the best when smelled right at the skin, but other than that it's quite a nice scent with very good performance and sillage. I like it more than La Nuit and it's so cheap.
the drydown is much better and you are spot on...from close its not that great and the performance on this is much better than la nuit...personally i feel ch men prive is the ultimate big brother of la nuit ;)
I can see the possible family resemblance between all three of them. Brothers that were adopted out to different families, so they resemble each other, but have different upbringings. Prive for sure got the nice house and solid family life, but didn't grow up spoiled. A classy, put together guy for sure, but not stuck up about it. Confident boss that worked his way up. La Nuit got the same and excelled to start, but got very lazy and works for his dad and doesn't really do shit and still gets paid for it. Still smells great, but need to take a pay cut. F Black got the working family and the grounded lifestyle. Worked hard to get from where he was without the cash assistance and options money provide. He can be formal and quite pleasant, but is a little rough around the edges if you push too close. Hard worker. Prive 10 F Black 8 La Nuit 7
Great video, I like this one I sprayed it on my hand so I could smell it while you reviewed it , been awhile since I visited it , it's finally started to get colder out so I will wear it soon , I have the whole F line , it's a good line so if you have all 3 wear the black winter fall , the original in spring and the blue free time in summer , ferragamo I like this house a lot I have other fragrances by them , I think they are really good for a affordable price , I need to try the new one uomo
i saw the other frags also...need to try them...the blue one smells very nice but doesnt last on my skin....they are a very up class house for sure. enjoy the F in the winter brother :)
yeah i have pretty dry skin even with lotion , i tend to by smaller bottles so i can carry then with me to reapply , i usally do with anything after 4 hours
one of my favorite characters of all time is Dexter, Miami's favorite serial killer.... i know it sounds disturbing but i go back to discipline and routine, just like Dex does, and stay focused, as well as try to look outside my own circle, thats what helps me :)
Hey Joy, just subscribed to your channel, I live in Trinidad W. I, the climate here is more on the tropical side very hot.. Similar to your location .. So I like your picks... Could you do a video on scents that would last the longest in hot tropical weather.. I own Dunhill icon and it's my go to scent..clean and long lasting.. Glad to see it's one of your faves also
thank you so much firstly , its my pleasure :) thanks for liking and enjoying my takes :) ill surely do that video as suggested by you....even if i dont own so many frags but ill suggest a few..i know a few gems in designer side :) have a great day...and i am a big fan of Chris Gayle...he is a monster...dont know if you know him....the whole WI cricket team is awesome...so much colors and dance moves :)
Joy Amin don't know Chris personally but I've had the pleasure of meeting both Brian lara and Dwayne bravo as they both live in Trinidad.. They're awesome very down to earth kinda guys, thanks much joy continue your great work. Much blessings to you Bro.
awesome...we called Brian Lara as the prince ....he is one of the best alongside sachin tendulkar ...nice talking to you brother. talk to you soon sometimes :) have a great day
Hey joy .. can you please make a list for suitable fresh perfumes specifically for intense hot and humid weather of Pakistan India and bangladesh ... btw gud work . Keep it up ...
This is the best smell for guys. A lot of the talks of other scents are feminized super sweet. I'm a fan of sweet scents but not overpowering gourmand sweetness.
Agreed with Jose. I have f black, La nuit (latest formulation) and also guess seductive blue. Guess is more closer to la nuit. Just imagine la nuit but a little bit airy and fresher, cardamom is also prominent but not as deep as la nuit, 90% similarities imho. you're welcome.
dude, you will get more views if you make them less than 10 minutes... whoever will be able to sit through 23 minutes does not have anywhere to go and may have no use for a fragrance. Big fan of your reviews tho I constantly have to fast forward
His followers like him because his videos are longer, composed, and 95 percent usually on the mark. We can't submit to ADHD culture ... His are great the way they are bro.
+Joy Amin Lmao! One of ur mor entertaining videos yet. u were really hustling to get this frag from the rude sales clerk. Loved that story.... But oh man, I really wanna here ur thoughts on The Beat.... i smelt it and am neither here nor there. I don't dislike it
