great fragrance releases 2022 designer initially we're going to kick things off with the designers
and i'll leave niche for less as you know niche is more intricate more complex for the most part so i
will leave the niche releases for last let's start with this one here from Acqua di Gio this is going
to be a flanker of a all-time favorite fragrance Acqua di Gio by now you should know i'm talking
about the 2022 release Acqua di Gio eau de parfum I love this fragrance if you want to see more about
this fragrance, full review and also in detail about all the flankers of this collection
i'm going to pop it up here so you guys can see that but just wanted to mention this fragrance is
one of my favorites because what they did here is they combined the original dna of Acqua di Gio with
a more mineral green and mature approach which i really really enjoy and of course there's
vetiver here in the base that is just heavenly. Another release that i love from the designer side
of things is going to be Drakkar Intense which a lot of people think it's a flanker of Drakkar Noir
but in fact it's a flanker of the 1972 Drakkar the original release so this is 50 years in the making
what i love about this fragrance is what they did here is they took the original fougere dna that
green aromatic lavender/oak moss and they embellished it with some amazing components like
absinthe like this rum boozy kind of accord there's a lot of spices here like cinnamon for
example it's green it's spicy it's boozy it's absolutely fantastic a great flanker that you
guys can actually find it on the low this is very easy to find out at discounters for
actually a really good price so i highly suggest you guys checking this out i love this, this is an
all year round fragrance it is better suited for fall and winter but you can actually pull this off
all year round if you control the sprayers as opposed to the Acqua di Gio Eau
de Parfum which i think is better for spring and summer. Speaking of greatness for spring and summer
the weather we have right now this is absolutely perfection for the weather right now this is going
to be Dior Homme Sport edition 2022 and this is actually an amazing fragrance i love what
they did here they have that gingery grapefruit opening here that's very sparkly very fizzy very
inviting just perfection for the summer time but what i like here is that they infuse it
with a nice woody vetiver base which made the fragrance long-lasting appealing and definitely
sophisticated this is a more again mature i see a lot of companies doing that they're really
harping into having fragrances that are elegant sophisticated a little bit more mature not aged
but definitely more mature this is a great choice here guys a great one to just grab and go you
don't want to think too much you want to smell good this will do the job. Before I continue with
the designers you know that you can find all of these fragrances at fragrancebuy.ca
which is a partner of this channel, if there are codes and anything associated with fragrance by that say
of course i'll have it in the description of this video to make your lives easier which is what we
do here but if you love fragrances that are on the low if you love fragrance there are new releases
hard to find rare gems fragranceby.ca is your one stop place. Another great one that i
love this year was from Jean Paul Gaultier this is going to be Le Beau Le Parfum which is just
greatness it's also good for this time of the year especially for evening wear dressier occasions
this is going to have this real nice sun tan lotion coconut tanning lotion kind of a thing
but it's also a fragrance that has darker notes and has almost like a boozy tropical drink vibe
to it it's very sensual very seductive, let me tell you, ladies love the smell of this even
when it comes like stealing sprays they will still sprays from you because they're gonna love
the way this stuff smells so this is a great one if you love compliments definitely check this one
out i think they did a great job with taking that dna that coconut creamy vibe and just amplifying
making it more intense Le Parfum Le Beau Jean Paul Gaultier. This one here was love at first spray
i love this stuff this is Givenchy Gentleman from the Gentleman Collection this is Reserve Privê
I really wanted to check this fragrance out when i learned about it late last
year and as soon as i could get this i think it was around springtime i pulled the trigger because
it just smells fantastic it's going to be that iris cocoa creamy vibe similar to Dior Homme
Intense, it's in the same genre the same vein of fragrances but i love the leathery base that you
get here with that patchouli which is very creamy but also a little bit earthy this fragrance has
some depth it has transition it's one of those very elegant and sophisticated kind of fragrances
and not more of the same of course very similar to Valentino Uomo, Valentino Uomo Intense,
Dior Homme intense but because Valentino has discontinued those fragrances and Dior has reformulated their
fragrances i think this is a great choice if you like that almost boozy creamy cocoa-iris
leathery kind of a vibe profile this does a great job. This last one from the designer side
of things was recently released also from Armani not from the Giorgio Armani but from the
Emporio Armani side and it's the Stronger with You Oud ,a great scent guys i also reviewed it for you i did
a first impression mini review i'll pop it up here, it's definitely worth checking out if you
love oud i think this could be redundant because you're going to have tons of oud fragrances
in your collection but if you're getting into fragrances if you're getting into oud or more
daring mysterious kind of fragrances you're going to love this i'm not going to get too much into it
it's just a great oud fragrance that is resinous opulent rich luxurious check out the link here
you're going to know all about this stuff amazing. I'm getting into the niche fragrances now best

Now we're getting into the niche the creme de la creme this is going to be my favorite niche
fragrance releases of 2022 so far of course there is the other half of the year so stay tuned and
also understand that all fragrances talked about here have been featured on first impressions top
videos these are stuff that i really really enjoy and there's a lot more to come so at the
end of the year i'll give you a top discoveries and top releases of the year all together but
starting here we're going to go with this one right here which i love it's a brand from Paris
this is going to be a fragrance brand that combines the beauty of music and the niche
perfumery it's going to be L'orchestre Parfums and this is going to be Vetiver Overdrive as you guys know i
love vetiver base scents and this one here knocked it out of the park it's a beautiful
vetiver scent with ambroxan, it's a misconception to think umbroxan is overly done
yes it's true it's overly done but ambroxan is a great smelling compound it's a synthetic
compound that really enhances compositions and they did that exactly perfectly here
very well blended there's not too much ambroxan just enough but the vetiver is the star player and
this fragrance here just so you have an idea is very similar to Bal d'Afrique from Byredo but this
is actually a more intense version of that hence the name Vetiver Overdrive and the inspiration
here was the blues from the bio from New Orleans so it's going to be a very vibrant type of
vetiver scent if you love vetivers this is a must try. Also with vetiver here this is another fragrance
which is not really a vetiver based scent like Vetiver Overdrive that i just talked about but
it works wonders for dressier evening type of attire or more luxurious kind of a settings it's
going to be Gris Charnel and this is going to be from BDK Parfums this is the Extract
Edition of this fragrance and what i love about this one is that it's got a gorgeous mysore sandalwood
note here that makes the scent very creamy and it has a bourbon vetiver kind of undertone which
adds this booziness and very luxurious feel to the fragrance, it's definitely androgynous a guy
or a gal can pull this off beautifully it's a very room-filling type of a scent when
you wear this and if you dress the part you walk into room you're gonna attract attention there's
no two ways about it people are going to want to know what you're wearing it's one of those scents
right now the whole room is taken by this it's very concentrated and if you spray your clothes
like myself and your skin believe me this will be with you the whole day and you're going to love it.
Next up we have a fragrance from Floris London a brand that's been around since 1730s
1700 so it's a brand that made fragrances for royalty for kings and queens this is Platinum 22
ladies and gentlemen i love this scent because it's iris-based and you know how much i love iris
it's one of my favorite floral notes but it's not just an iris-based scent it's got this beautiful
leathery tonka kind of a vibe, the tonka here is or the cumerin is very beautifully done
you have some black currant here which adds the sweetness to the scent and there's a cedar wood
black paprika black tea undertone that makes the scent just
intrinsic just hypnotizing, trust me guys, Floris Platinum 22, if you love a musky iris and very
alluring type of a fragrance check this out. Before I give you the last three favorite
releases of 2022 since we're talking about niche i wanted to share with you a special event that

Next up we have a fragrance from a brand that always surprises me the brand is Scents of Wood and
this fragrance here is called Hinoki in Hinoki this is a fragrance that i absolutely love i'm
wearing a lot of it right now it's just perfection for this time of the year they're hinoki wood
which is actually a type of cypress it's very green very coniferous just breathtaking and what
these people do, Scents of wood, what i love is the process the creative process that Fabrice the owner
describes is giving total and complete freedom for perfumers to choose the elements ingredients and
making each fragrance their own "tree" so i love this stuff guys, Hinoki in Hinoki, as you
guys know Plum in Cognac is a favorite of mine and there's other ones, Vetiver in Bourbon is another
one that i love, so definitely check this brand i see a lot of people not really knowing this brand
this is a great hidden gem in the niche world that you guys must check out if you love intriguing and
different off the beaten path kind of fragrances like this one. Next up we have a controversial one
this one got a lot of limelight but also some hate and i don't understand why this stuff is
great i'm talking about Roja Parfums Apex, people complained about the font they complained about the
bottle scheme the color details, guess what? the juice is amazing and i'm going to tell you
why it's amazing, if you're familiar with Tom Ford Private Blend you know i love that particular
line of fragrances, in particular we're talking about Italian Cypress with a little bit of Moss Breches
which intriguing enough are my two favorite from the Private Blend and you can find
components from both of the fragrances i'm talking about ,Italian Cypress and Moss Breches
here in this fragrance, it is absolutely incredible think of Zino from Davidoff it's got that very
spicy undertone some green conifers we're talking moss tobacco leather spices this is fire, there's
nothing to it, amazing stuff. And last but not least from Kieran NYC we have
a fragrance called Santal Park i spoke highly of this fragrance to you guys so many times and this
is what this is an escapism, think about the jungle of cities out there if you live
near NYC i don't know where you live but i live near New York City so it's like a jungle of buildings
people running around you're always busy you're stressed you're on the phone emails
so if you want a fragrance that just puts a smile on your face this one here does it it's like
the big skyscrapers with a garden up top or if you take a stroll to central park which was
actually the inspiration behind this fragrance it took notes from Santal Sky which is a beautiful
creamy sandalwood based scent and added a lot of green components here and floral components
like the gardenia flowers this is a tremendous fragrance great value proposition, i'm telling you
Kierin NYC is where it's at if you like fragrances that are different that are uplifting refreshing really
literally put a smile on your face these guys do it very well sustainability pricing and of course
performance and the actual smells themselves. As always everyone thanks for hanging out with me
thanks for your support i really appreciate it i really really hope to see you guys at
Scentxplore 2022 this year it's going to be a great event two days details below don't miss it and
of course i'm gonna wear Vetiver Overdrive today which is like i said a great vetiver
base scent with the blues kind of a music thing in mind so as always stay
tuned for a lot more and i'll see you right back here with another video very soon, take care.
