Greetings from TX! Thanks AC for a delightful glimpse into your favorites. I share here some of my summer favorites which include 10 niche and 3 designers (in no order, and many are beasts) and quite suitable for the hot/humid TX weather in summer: 1: Nishane Hacivat; 2: Mancera Cedrat boise: 3: Mancera Aoud lemon mint; 4: Creed GIT; 5: PdM Galloway; 6: PdM Percival; 7: Xerjoff 40-knots; 8: Amouage Reflection man; 9: Roja Elysium; 10: MFK Amyris homme extrait; 11: Dior Sauvage; ; 12: CK Eternity aqua edt; 13: Bentley Azure. It is indeed a difficult time, so stay safe, stay healthy, and happy fragrancing!
Prada L Homme L eau is my #1 all time favorite. Also just got XJ 1861 Renaissance by Xerjoff - amazing citrus smell, definitely in my top 5. I am going to get Galloway next.
Another great list AC 👍 I need to get my nose on a few of these! I really like Silver Mountain Water in the summer. I get great longevity out of my 2016 bottle. My wife loves it and It’s actually my most complimented fragrance 👍👃💪
Fantastic list! Not tried Prada L’Homme L’eau - sounds like a great variation on the original. My summer fragrance of choice right now is Lacoste Booster, if you’ve tried that? Has a beautiful combination of mint and eucalyptus!
Good day, sir! Here's my 2 cents or 2 pennies I should say ;) Firstly, I find Prada L'Homme L'Eau to be extremely cloying in warm weather and it strongly reminds me of cosmetic powder smell. I think women like this scent on men because it triggers a clash of "strong" appearance and "fragile" smell. I couldn't wear it myself - I prefer Prada L'Homme Intense, that dark leathery-powdery scent appeals to me much more, although I'm not a fan of leathery scents but appreciate them from time to time. Secondly, you asked our oppinions about summer scents. Here are mine favourites so far: 1) Eau de Memo by Memo Paris - refreshing, slightly bitter, slightly adventureous, very attractive; 2) Cedar Woodpecker by Parle Moi de Parfum - inoffensive scent of cedar and iris (and cashmeran I suppose), 3) Clémentine California by Atelier Cologne - maybe too popular nowadays, everyone knows it and the name says it all; 4) Foconero by Tiziana Terenzi - seamless freshie with oceanic vibe (they say its a close cousin to Vodka on the Rocks by Killian); 5) Mefisto Gentiluomo by Xerjoff - creamy, violet flower-y flanker of the Mefisto which is a close cousin to Silver Mountain Water by Creed. Thx for your time and have a good day!
Great to see back AC, and know that you are staying safe out there! Fantastic review as always 👏 100% agreed on all of these and most of which, Hacivat and Galloway!!! Thanks for sharing, and stay safe please.
Armaf legasi - Oh my god i shower myself with this stuff .. its smell amazing Armaf to my opinion is way better than Swiss Arabian .. i tried Swiss Arabian Motamayez wasn't that strong and didn't last long i bought that directly from their website online the other was Al waseem i didn't like it as well wasted money 👎🏽 first and last time experience .. thank you for the review a lot
Yes absolutely I smelled Nasomotto Blaumage and was blown away !!! Seriously Unlike anything ever ! I will get this soon and 2 sprays lasted about 3 weeks on my leather jacket longevity is out of this world last and last it is amazing and so unusual at same time great choice. MFK Universalis forte is dreamy and lovely as well for summer i ordered that should be here in 2 days great video ima huge fan nasivat i have to try
Awesome list AC, and what a perfect timing of this video. I’ve been debating for several days now between Milestone as a cheaper alternative or hunting down a vintage MI, in the hope of better performance in those older batches. I guess Milestone it will be then. Will def look into others in this list as well. Thank You.
you all prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Camden Louie thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I am an ardent follower of your quality videos.Please do many videos like this..I always look forward for your videos in my RU-vid recommendations ! Cheers from India 👍
My first Niche that I bought was Galloway with your advice. It's a great scent and very underrated in the line. Percival is far too generic, Sedley is good but not as versatile as Galloway. It has a strong pepper backbone that gives it fantastic longevity and silage for a citrus frag.
Great list AC,glad your doing well,here in the north east of USA, the virus is still affecting people hope things get back to normal soon. Take care,stay healthy AC!
Thanks for the return and great content. Finally ordering some samples off this review - gotta finally try that Legasi and Fleur De Male. I always associate summer with super-hot temps where only my Cali-clone fortified Creed Neroli Sauvage and Erolfa versions work for me ha ha. Gotta broaden my horizons, try wearing some stronger fumes. Oh yeah: own, like Mancera Lemon Line for summer. Revisiting my Galloway decant as well. Cheers.
I love Galloway also. It will be my next PDM. i think some dont like it because its very safe & more designer than niche for the price. I still love it though.
Welcome back AC I was beginning to worry about you Great summer list I will try to seek prada l'homme and terre d hermes flanker one of my favourite summer is nasomatto silver musk it's best clean musk for me and I get great response with it even for reserved country like egypt but it's soft perfume for strong summer perfume I would go for panthea from stephane humbert lucas Covid-19 is doing its thing every where please be safe
Great review, as usual. From this list, I own only three of them, Cederat Bois, Eau Intense Vetiver and Galloway, and all are nice and strong fragrances.
Hello Ac, I hope you are doing well.. Amazing review as always.. great content...my favouriet reviewer ever. Thank you sit for all the effort. Stay Safe. Greeting from Belgium.
I still go out and enjoy the sun, staying indoors for weeks/months is madness. I put on Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver, Cedrat Boise, Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Intense, Prada L'homme and Mugler Cologne to boost my days at the park or deal with the stress queuing up at Tesco lol! I can't STAND Terre D Hermes but anyway, Great video AC!
good to have you back AC, so glad you are well, you always give a sentimental touch to your reviews which I really like, me living in Greece I need a fresh clean day time perfume for the summer period (summer in Greece is hot & dry, not a lot of humidity) for indoor and outdoor work (I work in tourism so it is not strictly office work), I m thinking about Prada L Homme L eau, what do you think?
Thank you! you are quite right, some of them can be a bit difficult to pull off in high heat but then most people living in high heat situations stay in air conditioned places unlike us in the UK, so some of those picks maynot be ideal for us in the UK when it crosses 30 degrees but we get very few such days don't we?
Fantastic review as always my friend. I pose a question, I own Prada Lhomme as well as Prada Lhomme Intense, do you feel that Prada L'Eau would be a redundant buy? I very much enjoy L'homme and although L'homme intense is good I felt I purchased that one on emotion and the bottle just sits on my display. Your opinion is appreciated
Good to see you back on RU-vid, this list is interesting, I was waiting for the Nishane Colognise 😂😂 . I need to retry Galloway 😂, Amazing summer list. Keep up the good work sir, stay safe 🙏
Thank you Rohit, and I did give Colognise a thought but I said to myself that I will include that when I do part 2 and when I have a full bottle of it :)
Hi AC. Need some help in looking for a great fragrance. I love Polo by Ralph Lauren (the green one), Paco Rabanne Pour Homme and Escensia Loewe Pour Homme. I also love Creed's Green Irish Tweed but don't want to spend that kind of cash. Anything budget friendly along the same bitter green grassy vibes?
So you think the Fraiche version is a lot better,because I'm not a huge fan of TDH either????I'm guessing the Fraiche is not as harsh and earthy as TDH????
What an excellent list! I'd like to try a bunch of these! I've tried Cedrat Boise but not abig fan of leather and the leather note kept jumping out at me. Been looking at getting a warm weather offering from MFK but APOM wasnt 1 I was considering I'll have to try it. I've mostly been sampling during quarantine and beast mode I liked were Mefisto and Reflection Man. Not really beast mode but recently got a bottle of Gallivant Los Angeles which I love and their discovery set which normally comes with 6 scents but they're including the other 2 for the normal price plus 25£ (which is the cost of the set) off a full bottle which is great! Yet to try them all but so far for warm weather Brooklyn and Tel Aviv I enjoyed. Have u tried anything from Gallivant? They're based in London. Thanks a lot A.C. glad to see u r well. - Colin
Sir I have to ask you, I am relatively new to collecting. I have Cedrat Boise and it lasts forever, but it just doesn't seem to live up to the projection I hear about. Can you offer ANY insight (im almost certain is authentic)
How close are cedrat boise and Nishane hacivat ( both aventus inspired ) Is it worth it to pick up hacivat if I already own cedrat boise (and rasasi zebra) ?
Hacivat in my opinion is on league of its own main due to the quality of ingredients and great longevity due to it being an extrait de parfum concentratr.
Because you just can go and pick it up. I just found it for over 330 US dollars. That’s not including the shipping and taxes. It’s not practical. It’s three times more than what its worth. Plus it’s not a niche product and not everybody’s a collector. They just want something nice for the season. Most people check out reviewers so they can go and see what’s available.
