Great list of top 5 Melissa! My current top 5 in no particular order are: 1. Prada Luna Rossa Black 2. Kajal Faris 3. Gisada Ambassador 4. PDM Layton 5. Xerjoff Nio Shout out from Costa Rica 🇨🇷✌🏽
Drinking more water will do so much more for your skin and for your fragrances than applying lotion, people are so quick to forget to get their moisture from inside rather than out
@@melissanacional9662 Melissa, Great list. I wasn’t sure if we’d see Ombré Nuit. 😁👍 Praying for you. 🙏 It’s always challenging when your relationship changes. Keep rocking. You’re Awesome! 🙌🫶
This vid is just inspiring me to find my own faves instead of taking your word as gospel. I love the vibe of someone having their faves and talking about them. That said, I would want to try salt and pepper sometime in the distant future. But for now, I'm a noob who still needs to smell La Nuit de l'Homme at least once.
Melissa , I must say your top 5 fragrances is legendary and I’m glad my top 5 is not your top 5 . You have your own taste and scents when it comes to fragrances
Nice list! My current top 5 are (no order) 1. Creed Green Irish Tweed 2. Xerjoff Naxos 3. TF Ombre Leather 4. Prada Amber Pour Homme 5. TF Noir Extreme OR Chanel Sycomore
Yoooo! I got a precious liquid sample and I swear what you say about them are spot on. Salt and pepper is whatever to me but the ladies love it. Aqua oud was the same way (but that one is growing on me rapidly, gonna have to get the bottle 😭.) But man when I wear aqua oud, I get the hey who is that, you smell amazing. Like really amazing. Those kind of compliments are perfect
Thank you for the content, by far my favorite frag tuber. Can you please make a video on the top 5 niche houses and the top fragrances from each house and rank them please. Thank you soooo very much.
I’m going to share my current favorites. In no particular order: Guess Seductive Blue for Her Pink MahogHany’s Pas Encore Nomme Lattafa’s Sakeena Guess Seductive Red for Her Lattafa’s Bade’e Al Oud Sublime I was able to sample Loumari’s Porthole a while back. I’ve already decided that scent will be my first niche fragrance purchase. I was “perfume shamed” on a different channel by a fellow subscriber. She “reprimanded” me because I said that I was going to purchase inexpensive perfumes. She said that I shouldn’t “clutter” up my collection with inexpensive perfumes. I should have asked her to buy me some expensive perfumes, so my collection wouldn’t be “cluttered” with perfume I might actually like and wear, aka my cheapie perfumes.😆. If you think my choices are too “cheap” for you because my choices aren’t from expensive designer brands or niche houses, please keep any negative comments to yourself. Thanks.
Love your honesty , great videos , I don’t like the way the hype around fragrance is shaping the community especially on platforms like TikTok , way too many frag-bros these days
To my nose Tuxedo is rose on rose and more rose with a touch of patchouli. Can't stand it personally. I have a full bottle for sale. Afternoon swim is beautiful. Nice video.
My my my your channel has grown from when i started watching. It's good to see it. I literally can't choose a top 5 😂. For the sake of the video and interaction purpose ill pick 5 fragrance DNA Barbershop Oriental Chypre Gourmand Blue
Melissa, Great video. Your list doesn’t surprise lol. I guessed all 5. My top five are as followed: 1. By Kilian Apple Brandy on the Rocks 2. Xerjoff Naxos 3. MFK Aqua Celestia Forte/Cologne Forte 4. PDM Sedley 5. Roja Isola Blu I’ve been collecting over the past 3 years. I am very selective. For me it’s about the quality vs quantity.
Great list! Side note, I thought about you today when layering. I layered LAyton with YSL, sprayed Layton on first then double the sprays of YSL on top since that is not as strong as Layton and OMG so many compliments! The dry down is insane :)
Thank you Melissa 😊 here is my top 5 1. Black Phantom By Kilian 2. Tuxedo Yves Saint Laurent 3. Angels' Share By Kilian. 4. Naxos Xerjoff 5. Dior Homme Parfum
Fragrance has woven itself in and out of my life, while never being completely absent. My fave 5 that represent unique instances of reintroduction are: - Guess Men (1991) - D&G The One - Tokyomilk Dark Tainted Love - Demeter Fragrance Dirt - PDM Carlisle Many others besides, but these each evoke their own time and place for me over a few decades of smelling good.
Think I've always been fascinated by perfumes, but more advanced introducing niche ones last year. My top 5 are: Xerjoff Naxos Creed Absolu Aventus YSL La nuit de l'homme YSL Tuxedo Pdm Haltane
Been in it for 6 months. Oud Wood, Carlisle, Sedley, and The One are my favorites. Been feeling out another fragrance for warm weather. Curious about BdC Parfum, Sauvage Elixir, and Salt & Pepper. My wife will make the final call on that lol.
Bdc Parfum is basically a soap that smells citrusy and VEEEERY luxurious. It is the best and most complete blue fragrance. I highly recommend it. The performance is so amazing. Logevity, on me at least, is over 12h, leaves a sexy scent trail and it projects like an arm lenght which is enough. But the price point is a little bit too much. I suggest you to get the biggest volume bottle as it is the best price/volume one.
Cool video. For couple years I only had Boss bottled n last year I bought tf ombré leather. I was good until I started watching frag videos on RU-vid about a month ago…🤦🏻♂️lol. Since then I’ve added Ysl la nuit de’homme, Guerlain l’homme ideal edp and Jazz club. Couple days ago I blind ordered Hacivat, Terre d’Herme edt. Next I’m hoping to pick up Noir extreme parfum Bleu de Chanel parfum and a couple from PDM. Probably Greenley and Harrod. Then hopefully chill for a bit..
I hope your blind buys work out for you. I learned about decant websites about a year and a half ago. I was able to purchase all of the talked about scents without spending too much money. It’s a good thing because I don’t seem to like the most talked about scents.😆 The last time I went on to the PDM website, you could purchase decants. I haven’t looked at the website in a while, so I don’t know if they still sell them.
Hello Melissa I just wanted to say our of all the fragrance reviewers on RU-vid I listen to u the most bcuz your real about a fragrance and not just telling me what I want to hear
I remember my first fragrance was Harley Davidson red given from my sister at the age of 16 and after it was discontinued. A few years later I discovered la nuit d lomme and couldn’t believe it was exactly the same fragrance as that from Harley. Now I got a few samples from Parfume de Marly because of the hype , thank God I didn’t blind buy one but after wearing Layton I noticed it was kind of like la nuit but more complex, dense like a ysl la nuit on steroids.
I love the notes of Tuxedo. I just don’t like it. I’ve tried to make myself like it. It’s just blah to me. I’ve never heard of salt and pepper. I would like to try that now. Top 5. 1. Green Irish Tweed - my into into niche fragrances. 2. Reflection Man 3. Layton 4. Tobacco Vanile 5. Neroli Portifino Aqua
I'm (sort of) in the fragrance game for about 35 years and my 5 (or actually 7 🤔) most complimented ones are probably: Dior Fahrenheit edt (original form.), Boss Bottled edt, Polo RL Big Pony Coll. 1 (blue), EM Molecule 01, Guess Seduction Blue, Lacoste L.12.12 Blanc & (last but not least) YSL La Nuit de L'Homme edt. 🤓
I have Guess Seductive Blue for Women. I love it. It’s one of the few fragrances I’ve worn that has been complimented. Amazon was out of it for months. I was able to purchase a one ounce bottle which is now half full. I’ve only had it for 3 months.😆. Obviously, it’s a favorite.
Hi Melissa. I just got my first cologne heavily inspired by your videos… 1. la nuit de l'homme Quick question though… What lotion do you use or would recommend?
I feel TUXEDO is like Versace Eros that you get bored of it quickly cause smell 100% designer or maybe it's just me that I use to smell more niche than designer.
@@melissanacional9662 i've been collecting since 2011ish and no matter how many niche or new scents come out i always find myself wearing the nuit d l homme OR layering it !! molecule 01 and that YSL is perfection
My top 5 is 1. Dior Homme 2020 2. Ambre Nuit 3. La Nuit De L’Homme 4. One Million Royal 5. Spicebomb EDT Salt & Pepper I can’t wear it gives off big time Oud Ispahan vibes and it gives me a headache every time. I love Melissa’s takes on fragrances and Ambre Nuit was such a big hit for me based on her recommendation.
So stuck between Elysium and Creed Silver Mountain Water! This video did not help😂 Edit: Just saw you had a video comparing these two, what a coincidence. will watch that
Millisa?? I'm a collector and haven't commented on your vids in a minute but I noticed you promo salt n pepper before and I've never tested or tried it what's it similar to or what out there reminds you of it? Please let me know sincerely thank you....Johnny from south Boston ☘
Salt and pepper is one fragrance from a brand that also has scents I don’t like lol. I always say buy where you’re comfy, you don’t need to support the channel if you don’t want to
