I love how you included the whole “sex scam” category to this and I cannot agree more! I have fragrances that I love but my wife isn’t too crazy about and ones that RU-vidrs bash because they’re too sweet but my wife looooves them. I wear what I wear because I love them but the whole category of drive her crazy and all that is very misleading to younger men looking for their first fragrance. Also couldn’t agree more about how the ones saying this are very average looking guys. I’m no Johnny Depp or Channing Tatum myself but let’s be honest, most RU-vidrs or fragcom reviewers whatever you want to say are not all that to say the least. Thank you for touching on that sir

Enjoyed this one. The extra watch content was very interesting too. Love the Omega I think you bagged a good one there. Keep up the good work.

I can't stand channels that review niche fragrances and justify a £300-plus price point because it smells good. I have no problem buying something expensive as a treat, but there's a limit, and there's just too much BS involved. Dan, once again, you are speaking the truth.

Thank you for being so honest and for bringing facts about the irrational and unethical marketing strategy of some reviewers. I am sure there is no such thing as a pant dropper perfume and many other scamming terminologies. Gents, please wake up and follow up your taste and instincts of what you like in perfumes. We are all different so are the women out there. Do not fall into the trap of the reviewers. Mainly use them for info if necessary but, maintain your choices at all times.

Excellent video. Keeping it professional, it naming names. But stating straight facts. Well done!

Preach it brother keep us safe from them scammers. And keeping it real in the influencer space

This is sooooo spot on.....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I've not watched in a while but I genuinely love these videos. Id forgotten about the hilarious intros! Keep up the great work 👍🏾

Thanks for this one Dan.

Great advice on this video. You made some valid points on fragrance reviewers both male and female

Yesss, sir ! Content actually worth consuming. How refreshing! Thank you. Not just another "buy this, link is below" video. I'm developing a tight rotation of fragrances I truly enjoy. I don't need 20+ fragrances that I haven't sprayed in a year+!! That said, I am sure that more boobs=more views.

Great video thanks Dan. Eau Sauvage cologne is my no1 this summer

Love Seikos. Things aren't as wonderful as they were, say, 10 to 20 years ago, but still many high quality, lower priced options. Enjoying the channel transformation.

Love the way you tell it how it is. With humour 😂👍. Great vids

Most niche houses don’t even produce their own stuff. They literally go to the big firms to make juice for them and put it in a fancy bottle. Plus the same perfumer making designer frags make niche. So in my mind it’s really only the designers and then a slight step up to luxury brands. The true niche brands are what we typically call indie in my opinion

Love the new direction....how many top 10's can people bare! Love to hear about great fragrance , how to dress classy and casual when you are over 40 and some nice watches. Also , how to attain these things without having to take a 3rd mortgage

I guess main exception to the luxury niche fragrance higher quality ingredients thing is aged oud oils and real sandalwood from mysore and things like that where the scarcity factor does play a role in price

You speak the most words per minute of anyone I listened to 😊

Brutal and honest, you've earned a life-long subscriber!

Great video… 👍🏽

Great video Dan

I like that you said, who are those guys to be so good with the women, the youtubers. Its a true statement. Any one of us could be better, especially if we do our own thing and become who we were really supposed to become instead of copying a youtuber.

We love your content ❤

Vintage Kouros is the best bird puller out there! I get offers all the time and I've got to keep turning them down, if my wife found out she'll have 3 of my houses and 4 million of my money...we can't have that!

Very good video. I must admit i changed my mind about you. You gained my respect. Well done.

Remember the " TOP TEN PANTY DROPPER FRAGRENCES WOMEN LOVE!!!!!" LMAO😂😂😂

No stream today? Great video!🎉

Spot on.... About freakin time someone said something about these scams..... Way to go Dan... Bravo 👌👏

I firstly do not have the budget to buy high end niche/designer frags. I watch a couple of frag channels and as much as they push the higher priced frags, I`d happily go with a decent clone at a fraction of the price. Even ebay are ridiculous at hiking up the prices or very popular frags /clones.

Great video, I have an Omega Seamaster too

"Lure them (pause) ...not that you should Lure them" LMBO! 😂 the whole video was funny as frack and helpful too, tfs and just subscribed

Love the omega. Have the same one but automatic. Haven’t worn it in a bit since my Rolex Sub and GMT get the most wrist time

He nailed it, fragance reviewers are hard to find these days, what we have instead are influencers who are pretty much selling you what others are paying them to promote, and you can't really trust the honesty of a person trying to sell you something

I think it's important to consider that for designer brands their perfumes are not their main means of income. If a Mercedes fragrance fails they at least have their car sales to fall back on, but if a niche fragrance fails it's a lot more damaging, so I can't be mad at niche houses for charging more. There're also some materials that are really expensive with cheap counterparts that doesn't smell exactly the same, but they get you in the ballpark. So I would argue that there actually is something called niche quality. Just think synthetic oud vs real oud.

Hi Mr. Smelly, firstly - I'm English, I was born in London. As a viewer of your channel and some of the other fragrance channels. Whatever, fragrance - a RU-vidr says is nice. I would've thought that all the viewers would use some common sense insofar as trying before they buy a full bottle of juice. I have no idea about this note or that note - I pop down to the stores and give it a try, yes, I have a lot of fun testing out whatever fragrance it is I'm interested in. As I normally stop any ladies walking past and ask what they think of the fragrance on my skin and at times, I'd have a few ladies around me and we'd start talking about fragrances that maybe their husband or boyfriend might like. I normally go by the ladies body language if I ask her, her opinion as not every lady what's some stranger stopping them in Harrods or Selfridges or Harvey Nichols and asking what she thinks of this or that. I'm rather lucky that I was a cat in another life. So I'm mischievous and playful most of the time. And I like having a laugh. I follow a few simple rules, be perlite to everyone and look people in the eyes when you speak to them - decorum costs nothing. Now, if a guy wants to be noticed. It's very simple - he has to keep himself in some kind of shape, wear clean well fitted clothes believe in himself. If a guy was to go out with a group of his female friends. Then he'd be noticed by all the other ladies in the club. Myself - I hang out with a few different groups of ladies and I always get noticed. I hope that doesn't sound like I'm being big headed. Any man can get any lady. But he has to go about it the right way.

Big YES for the new direction ❤

This was a really good take on some of the bullshit i see in this space!! Not proud of my past but i was raised amongst pimps and player's in the bay area and i never heard any of them mention a fragrance in regards to it helping them get women!!! I absorbed 10% of their game and the other 90% i disregarded. The 10% i kept are, impeccable hygiene!! White teeth, clean skin, nice haircut, fresh breath, fashionable but not over the top, charisma, stimulating conversation, kindness, and after you have displayed all these traits to a woman and you see that she is interested and clearly in to you!!! Kindly tell her you enjoyed talking with her and bid her a good evening and leave the building. Thats that 10% game i used from some prolific pimps and players!! Fragrance is just a small piece but to get women its going to take much more to get them and retain them.

I agree, a Fragrance is just an accessory and does not make who you are.

Designer brands buy quality ingredients in waaaaay larger quantities which saves a ton of money and allows them to charge less. Inn comparison niche brands work with way less resources and smaller batches ect

Blah blah blah, don’t buy from other niche brands, blah blah blah, but make sure you buy our brand! What a load of tosh!

As always...great vid. I thought you would've put that alexandria Hawaiian etc...

On the "s3x scam" topic, it's true, fragrances won't make any woman want you, BUT, here's why I think it's a thing to invest in: if a girl finds you interesting in some way, smelling amazing (in case he likes your fragrance) really helps to make it something more special AND maybe gives her something to comment on and start a conversation.

Noticed how the brand MINDGAMES is suddenly popping up everywhere?? Their fragrances are all niche clones. Their fragrance BLOCKADE is pretty much a clone of Aventus… for $345 !! Totally brand new house that every fragrance reviewer seems to love suddenly???? 😂😂😂

Damn I love how blunt you are lol hell yeah.

Designer brands ingredient quality vs price is worse than niche. Contrary to what you said, niche fragrances often do use more rare and expensive naturals than designers.

They hold up a bottle and only used 2 mils? Try 2 sprays. It's something I've noticed in all these videos. My signature cologne has been discontinued and I've been looking into what's new, what's out there, and primarily what's common so I don't smell like everyone else. My smell is still coming back after having COVID 2.5 years ago so I have to get an idea of what some stuff smells like because I don't smell 100% accurately still. I have a fiancee so I don't really care about attracting other women with my scent. If I get compliments, cool. If I don't, whatever. I'll get laid either way. I know I've always smelled great and I'm just looking for the next go-to bottle for daily wear. I have other bottles that I might use in winter, for formal occasions, or just something that's going to be outside and smell nice in the heat. It is easy to fall into the hype and what-not. But I'm not out here buying every "must have" bottle these influencers are peddling.

I like dupe companies of perfumes. They are like robin hood of perfume world. Snatching from rich and giving to poors😏

Hi, an offtopic request. Anyone knows the name of the classical music from the end? just can not find it. Thanks!

Navitus perfume is probably the biggest scam going on RU-vid

I just like getting ideas for new fragrances to try. I ignore the panty dropping/girl catching bs. I have some great designer scents, but after wearing Creed, & PDM, I lose excitement in designers. Am I paying too much? Probably, but the ingredients, & quality has a different kick. Or maybe that’s me justifying the 💵 I spent on all my niche scents. 🤷‍♂️

It is getting very annoying how they are all putting the prices up to ridiculous degrees, I think due to the bump the industry from covid lockdowns and tiktok. I have my favourite niche houses but there are several who, I am not at all convinced, are using any better ingredients than designer. For example Xerjoff Dama Bianca, which sells for $400 AUD for 100ml, smells IDENTICAL to the 90s body spray Impulse Vanilla, which used to cost $5. No one can convince me that Dama Bianca is costly to make. The mark up in perfume is just as absurd as the mark up on designer hand bags. ( i.e $57 Dior bags being sold for $4000)

Agree , Guerlain is quality .

Great videos, really enjoy the watch/life lession talk 👍

44,000 subscribers! Moving up...

"MANCERA"doing great job. Strong perfume with true luxury outcome with very reasonable price.😏✌️

Let’s talk about the Patreon Scam…😂 💰

Talking of fragrance scams, apparently the new ADG Parfum is just a rebranded Profumo.

This is class 😂 he’s spitting facts

I take what youtube channels say with a grain of salt... I used to blind buy and then stopped doing that. I always sample now, I wear what I like, and I try to get a few that my wife likes - she's very picky.

Brutally slaying the game! Agreed, it’s noticeable as these influencers get deeper into the game they lose touch of, well, people. I deleted them all after realising the fact that they’re wrong, deluded and out of touch, the fact was none of them had any reason to follow because they all have the personality of a used mop. That and the fact a reviewer with 200 followers can review it just as good or better using an iPhone, don’t fall for it.

Sometimes the art of the perfumer is worth it

So, in your view the fragrance price should be related to the price of their ingredients (otherwise it’s a scam). It’s like saying a Picasso is worth nothing because Pablo Picasso used cheap paint. Fragrance is art and culture, so your comments on topic (price of materials) do not make too make sense.

Nice watch sir

Eau de Guerlain feels a bit like the original Eau Sauvage but more floral and herbal.

I fully agree with you. A designer like BdC edt is incredible and every bit on par with outrageously priced niche frags. Also, niche/indie houses like Rogue (who use pretty much all naturals) put the lie to the unequivocal "need" for jacked-prices in the name of "natural ingredients". -and the fact that Rogue flips the 🖕 to IFRA is a bonus. Yes, my Jazeel Ghala is frikking expensive, but the naturals in this frag are truly expensive to produce and one bottle will take 20 years to get through. ...but Aventus? Oud Wood? As if.

What about natural ambergris and oud? They are not cheap! Don't know about Creed now that they have been sold, but at one time, they used nothing but natural ambergris.

Can you define winning at life? What is your 5 year plan Dan?

"And I can hear them complementing me on myyy fraaag oh joyy And I`ve been waiting for this moment for all my liiife"

I just want to know if Dan got the smart meters? Apparently they aren't so smart and people are being billed ridiculous amounts on incorrect readings and if you cant pay the bill they force you onto pre payment at a higher price. Hmm, maybe thats the point but my responses are similar. I blocked my energy suppliers calls and just ignore the smart meter emails. 😂

absolute majority huge channels do 10 lists of frags and every frag is "amazing, great, brings many compliments", next video bunch of the same, even the same frags. Recycling and regurgitating same vids over and over and over. Most definitely not a reviewers

Anyone here have recommendations for RU-vid channels that focus on unisex/women targeted fragrances?

LOL let me talk about scams but first here is my fragrance at 120 bucks! My wife works in the beauty industry and most fragrances are made for a couple of bucks. So one can say that a no name person selling his fragrance is scamming for 120 bucks. SMH

The luxury tax.

Guerlain is a fantastic company, they really offer such great quality for the price.

It's kind like certain "modern art" paintings. Make it for $1, sell it for $100.000.000.

Ahhahahaha FANTASTIC love u! Continue with this great stuff mate

This review solidifies how I feel about fragrances. I own a lot of top niche fragrances, and Bleu De Chanel Parfum is better than most of them if not all! I am talking about fragrances like Reflection Man, Oud Wood, Hacivat, Grand Soir, Silver Mountain Water, and Aventus. BDC Parfum is my 💓

Didn’t know you were a Star Wars fan!

Aye, Dan. I get the impression a LOT of them have very basic knowledge and share no love for the subject.

Fragrance scam--my favorite KIND of scam.

A certain Australian lady has used her body to promote her channel. Amazing everything Fragrance Du Bois does is fabulous …. then suddenly she releases a fragrance in conjunction with them 😂. Just about all of the big reviewers are attached to some brand or other . John Stephen who made Dan’s fragrances is an independent perfumer who will happily create you a fragrance……., it’s not bloody cheap though 😂 Everyone trying to make a living from their channels which is perfectly fine. It’s really quite easy to spot the shills …… they all review the same things days apart 😂😂

Scam #3 has my dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 But facts none the less. Fragrances can't transform you to a charismatic character or improve your game.

Idont even get why they are both big industry's and make money of of playing of of people's insecurities

Might you be aware that Jason Stratton is a huge watch conisoire and collector! He always featured looking at one of his watches in all of his films. Believe with all the cell phones that watches are becoming more obsolete and old school, more of the status symbol so to speak.

The best sex one I hear regular from a certain RU-vidr is for PDM Layton which goes:- Layton Will get you laid My Man🤔So Will the Detour Noir Clone I bought Just get you upstairs outside😜 As for PDM as a brand my opinion is yes Great Scents but overpriced massively compared to others.another Scent being hammered to death at the moment is S Boy by Draco which by all accounts after checking its price here in the UK seems a bit Extortionate considering how many designer fragrances you could buy for the price of one bottle. Nice Omega by the way and their Patina always tends to go a brown/Red colour so it must be the Lume they use. As for the Scent (that to me anyway) is still the most recognisable and I still love it has to be Polo Green,Just a Scent that I still wear as it was my favourite in my teens. (Late 50’s now🙈)

The comment about how these reviewers still have full bottles was spot on. They say its because they have so many fragrances, but I don't believe that. I have around a hundred fragrances and they all have pretty good dents out of them. And I dont have a day time fragrance and a night time fragrance. I spray on my fragrance before work, or on my day off I do it before I go out. But these guys talk about how they have a day fragrance, a night fragrance, and after the shower fragrance, and how they respray the ones that dont last. But yet they hardly have any used out of their bottles? Strange.

I know you're not here to bring down any "content creators" who talk about fragrances but the vast majority literally have no clue about how to properly describe fragrances. Come to think of it, how useful is it to take a credible recommendation about a fragrance without actually smelling it yourself? This is where we are and good editing, a pretty face and other influences, can bring you followers I guess. In the end trust 1 nose only.....YOURS!

I don’t claim to watch all the male perfume you tubers out there but I do watch a number, and I don’t find that most of the ones I watch push the “women will be all over you, if you wear this’” line. Some do go on about compliment getters, and some do say which ones their wives or girlfriends seem to prefer, but the only one I’ve seen who really seems to push the sex angle is Jeremy. I agree about your other scam points but don’t see that one quite as you do. By the way, in my (woman’s) opinion the guys whose channels I check out regularly may not be Greek gods in looks but they are pleasant enough. The only one that makes my skin crawl is Jeremy.

At 7:15 so true 😂😂

The sex scam one is definitely funny, my wife's favorite fragrance of mine is CDNIM. It definitely doesn't have to be anything crazy lmao

I hate when reviewers keep saying everything they review is the best, their favorite, the one they are using the most. They give almost everything huge praise making you run out a blind buy. I have done this, feels like a scam. They are sellers not reviewers.

Subscribing for being so truthful

have you every bought a genuine perfume from a genuine company to find out they are selling 40ml perfume labled as 50 ml??? amazing! a luxury niche fragrance Frassai!! disgusting!

So, what you are telling me is that the stripper's real name is not Chardonnay and she does not really love me? Just kidding...before i started watching reviewers here on youtubey, i only wore the scents i knew of and it was very limited...did i run out and buy every fragrance that i seen in the vids? Nope...but it did open my eyes and nose to some that i like and some i do not..some channels i find informative and some of them, you can see the salesperson side right away..kinda like "not a fan of Dior Savauge" but it always ends up on the "top 10 fragrances that will (fill in whatever reason here)" 😂

You remind me quite a bit of SerpentzA no offence by any means

My favorite fragrances in the past couple years came from SweDoft and Fath. Especially Le Loden by Fath. I felt like I was smelling fantastic quality, something very original, and worth every penny spent. Mancera & Armani were the biggest disappointments. The magic of Armani Pour Homme (the og) is long gone. Quantity won over quality.

8:58 dont even answer with your voice. Alot of AI voice copying going on. If you dont know that number, dont answer. Alot of crazy people using A.I. to copy voice and use your information.

“ some of them like 1million “ 😅
