We've got five fragrances to go over today. This is gonna be first impressions, unboxing
the first time ever I'm trying these fragrances. We're talking the newest from Missoni, called MISSONI WAVE
we're talking Carolina Herrera from the private confidential collection VETIVER
PARADISE, we have the re-release of Candie's that was brought back, was discontinued now brought back,
CANDIE'S POUR HOMME, we also have Boucheron ABSOLUTE D'NUIT or de parfum and last
but not least the newest one from Halloween Men HERO, guys stay tuned it's up right now ;)
All right starting off with Missoni which was a 2020 release, it came out last year, Missoni,
the original got a lot of talks in the fragrance community for being very good
a great smelling scent, kind like a Bleu de Chanel Dior Sauvage, and people loved it
for the price, it's quite good to be honest with you, this one here is one that I wanted
to try, just because now it's summertime, this is actually a taster that I got, brought
to you by fragrancebuy.ca, all these will be linked below, but anyway the Missoni Waves looks like, from the
looks of it it's going to be kinda like a blue scent, great for the season we have going on right
now, it's really warm, released in 2017, let me not look at the notes, let me just get into the actual
scent itself and tell you guys what I get out of it, the sprays are good, I mean really beastly sprayers
magnetic cap, I mean Missoni is doing a good job when it comes to good designer releases, alright so this
is really good, a little bit minty, a little bit refreshing, we're talking grapefruit, we're talking
lemons, limes, a tremendous note of bergamot up top here, so it's going to be one of those freshies,
but the grapefruit is really what i'm getting the most out of here, perhaps a little bit of a mint
action, this is going to be your blue, fresh, aquatic type of a scent, let's look
at the note breakdown, again 2017 Christophe is the nose behind this one, which is the same nose
for 1 million, it's pretty much like I said, a refreshing, blue, very citrus aromatic kind of scent, great for
the summer time, I picked this up very affordable at a discounter, this is going to be a tester
so if you're looking for a great blue, aromatic scent this stuff is actually pretty good,
rate from a first impression, I'm very impressed, this is actually quite good I think it's going to
be long-lasting as well, so I'm going to give this for what it is, for a great citrus, fresh,
aromatic blue scent 7 out of 10. Continuing on here we're going to talk about Boucheron
which is one that got zero limelight here in the community, nobody's talking about this fragrance
nobody talked about the one that came before, this one which is the original Quatre this is going to
be Quatre Absolute De'Nuit, which is absolute for the night, so this is like the darker version just
like we have La nuit de L'homme which is a darker version of L'homme from Yves Saint Laurent, i'm
thinking this is going to be a darker scent, maybe some spices here, the bottle itself is going to be
darker than the original Quatre, all right, so this has a mechanism that you twist to
open to reveal the sprayer itself, so let's see what we get out of this one, to be honest with
you I've never tried the original Quatre, a lot of people that follow this channel asked me to review
not only this one but the original Quatre, because they said it was a great blue, aromatic scent, so
this is actually pretty good guys, La Nuit Absolute from Quatre, from Boucheron. Boucheron is a french
Parisian brand, which has great fragrances like Jaipur, or the original Boucheron Pour Homme,
this is very nice, not very strong, I don't think this is going to be very heavy or it's going to project,
or last too long, but if you want something a little bit more subdued, if you're going into
an office for example, this is very very classy, very sophisticated, very elegant, I'm getting
like a soft tonka bean vibe here, perhaps a little bit of a vanilla, very soft, maybe some vetiver
here as well, there's some earthy undertones, no tonka listed but I do get a little bit of a tonka,
it could be the vanilla, nutmeg action going on, it is in the same vein as your La Nuit de L'homme,
those kind of fragrances, great stuff here, it could be a signature scent, because it's not too strong,
it's only going to work when it's cold out, but it also has some nice spiciness with the pepper along
with the vetiver, with the lavender, that could work all year round, which is going to be
more for the night. But I think it's not just Absolute per nuit,
for the evening, I think you can actually pull this off beautifully if you want a nice
different signature scent, it's quite nice, from a first impression standpoint here, on the
rate for Quatre Boucheron Absolute D'Nuit I'm giving it 6.7
it's not very original and I don't think it's gonna be as strong as I would like it to be for the evening
time, but if you're looking for a signature scent this could work quite nice. Now from the private
blend from Carolina Herrera, this is going to be a demonstrator or a tester as they call it,
this is going to be Vetiver Paradise, I mean, you get everything that you normally get with the
original packaging, except that you don't get the beautiful packaging that you would get, you get
this tester box here, but it's okay, I'm concerned about the bottle, it's beautiful
you get everything you normally would get. This retails for more than US$300, beautiful
insignia over here, from Carolina Herrera, the Herrera Collection, a very heavy beautiful cap,
magnetic, I mean this is like the works, what you would expect from a private blend. Let's see
what we get here, the sprays are nice, you can control depending how strong you push the atomizer,
wow this is going to be a very very pretty vetiver
what I'm getting here up front and center if I close my eye, I'm picturing Le Labo Bergamot 22
mashed with Creed's original Vetiver or Mugler Cologne, so it's gonna be in that area of a fruity,
musky kind of a vetiver, not very pungent, not very earthy, not very smoky, instead a very likable, very
easy to wear great signature scent, very elegant, very resolute to the note of vetiver
I'm getting the the note here of vetiver that's laced with a
lot of fruits, with the white musk bringing some sensuality into the scent, it's going to be a
very pleasant, easy to wear, it's not a smoky, heavy, dark vetiver fragrance that you would you
expect for example with Terre D'Hermes, which is a very heavy smoky vetiver, this is not,
this is going to be very pleasant, easy to wear, perhaps will not warrant the heavy price,
but if you don't have a vetiver fragrance and you want something that's really easy to wear, if you
love the note of vetiver and you want something that works with any scope of things, dressed up
or dressed down, definitely consider checking this one out, I think the price per ml when you put
this face-to-face with the creed, I think this is actually a good proposition, really nice, I'm
giving this an 8 out of 10. I love the scent here, performance is going to be a whole different issue,
but on the scent alone I'm giving this an 8 out of 10, a really stellar composition, as far as the scent
goes. All right, we're going to talk about this one right here, released in 2020, Candie's, the original
was released in 1999, it was this continued and if you go on ebay and you look for that older bottle
which I'll pop it on the screen here so you can see what it looks like, that fragrance goes for $200
plus on ebay, but this fragrance was re-released I don't know if it's going to be close to what
that one was, the curious part here about the original one is that it was originally composed by
Thierry Wasser, which happens to be the in-house perfumer of Guerlain at this point, so
this 2020 version I don't know who the nose is, but it is very similar to the original appointments,
the bottle of course a little bit nicer, a little bit modernized version of that original
which was kind of flimsy looking, the letter C here is very similar to the coca-cola C,
very very similar to that font from coca-cola, you have the letter C here up top,
the sprayers are not the best, it's kind of weak, but let's see what we get out of the scent
itself, which is really what I'm curious about, so as far as notes go... wow this is nice guys,
this is nice, this is exactly what I remember from the original from 99, the original from 99
was actually a beautiful grapefruit, green sweet and woody kind of a composition, I'm getting that
same thing here, the grapefruit is really strong and up front, in the notes here we have coriander,
watermelon, this is great, there's green leaf, cedar, birch, oak moss, musk and sandalwood. This is a great
scent for spring and summer, I'm getting nuances of Milesime Imperial from Creed, I don't know if
people make the comparison with Milesime Imperial with the original, but I'm getting a very nuance that
resolute and very uncanny comparison with Creed's Milesime Imperial right here, in fact i'm really
digging this guys, and it's a warm day today, so you know, I don't have a scent of date yet, so this
will be mine, that grapefruit is very fizzy, it's very in your face,
but then I get the watermelon as well which is very sweet, very fruity, very fizzy, almost like a
soda pop, great, very refreshing, uplifting, amazing for this time of the year, so if you're looking for
a scent that's going to make you feel amazing this summer season, definitely consider this one
I think you can actually pick this up for a very, very cheap price, I picked it up very affordably,
again, links below if you guys want to check it out, if you missed the original and you wanted to
reminisce, definitely check this one out, but I'm thinking that the original was a little bit
stronger, I think the original had a stronger, spicier coriander and cardamom, this one here
is more focused on the ethereal citrus and aquatic notes. Last but not least, we're talking about
Halloween Man Hero. Halloween Man X is getting a ton of limelight on the internet, on
social media, everyone's talking about it for months on, it's
a great affordable scent for the night, for clubbing, for going out for dates,
I like Halloween Man X, but to be quite honest with you, I think there are a ton of better options,
the fragrance is good for what you're getting, it's long lasting, the price is great,
but I think it's a little bit too over hyped, but anyway, it's conversation for a
different video, perhaps I'll talk about the top hyped fragrances that are worth and some that are
not worth your time, but this is a different topic, today we're talking about the newest one, Hero,
Halloween Man Hero 2021 release, the bottle is very rainbow like, you have all the colors here
from yellow to pink to bluish violet, cap is not magnetic, it's a flimsy plastic cap,
nothing crazy here with these Halloween Man fragrance bottles, but the juice themselves
usually do very well, great sprayer as well, this is a very nice scent,
very fruity, very strong by nature here with the original blast, very pleasant, I do get
tonka, I'm getting some beautiful citruses up top, but it's not unique, I mean, there's a ton
of scents that as soon as you smell this you're gonna say, wow, this smells a lot like
this or smell a lot like that, I'm getting very similar vibes to Azzaro Wanted, the original,
very similar to Paco Rabanne Invictus Aqua, or Montblanc Legend, so if
you like those fragrances and you wanted something that's going to have lemon, ginger,
grapefruit, lavender, sage, aquatic, flowers, marine notes, cashmere, and patchouli, ambroxan and moss,
so there you go, this is gonna be another one of those aquatic, grapefruity, fruity, intense
sweet, youthful, playful kind of fragrances, just like your Legend from Mont Blanc, just like your
Paco Rabanne Invictus Acqua, good, hopefully long lasting, it's a good release, nice release from 2021
but of course more of the same, nothing unique here, but again, if you're looking for something to pick
up, maybe if you want something, you don't have too much money to spend, you pick up Missoni Wave, you
pick up Candie's, you pick up Halloween X Hero, and you're all set for spring and summer, you'll get all the bases
covered, maybe wear this for evening time, maybe wear this for the office or daytime, this one here
for running errands, so these are gonna smell great, there's no question about that, they're
easy to smell, they're going to be mass appealing, all that you're looking for if you're not really
seasoned nosed, and you're not niche snobs, any of these fragrances work great, especially for
the price point, if you want something a little bit more intricate, then you got to go niche, you
gotta go indie to find something a little bit more daring, but those are good
fragrances. Let me know down in the comments, have you tried any of these five fragrances?are
