Office For Men Cologne Review [0:00:00]
All right, guys. Today, I’m going to be talking about fragrance once Office For Men.
This is Jeremy Fragrance’s fragrance. And, I’ve got both batch number one, batch number
three. I’ve been using this fragrance on and off for about seven months, and I wanted
to do an honest review because, yes, I’m not being paid to do this. He is a friend,
and let me lay that out there. I got these for free.
Jeremy is someone I’ve known for now a couple of years. I’ve been to Germany, I spent
time with him and his family. I’ve met up with them in New York. He comes speak at my
conference in Atlanta, Georgia. I’m a supporter of Jeremy, but at the same time, I’m also
a frag – you know I like fragrances. After saying all that, obviously it’s difficult
for me to do a truly unbiased review, but I’m going to do my best here and give you
my honest opinion. Now, let’s start this off by talking about
what to expect from the fragrance. And by the way, I did not notice any difference between
the first batch and the third batch, but the first thing I smell is citrus. And that makes
sense because the top notes we’ve got bergamot, we’ve got ambroxan, and we’ve got orris
root. Now, on the hard notes we’ve got pink pepper,
we’ve got patchouli, and we’ve got musk. Although, some people were talking they’re
picking up a bit of amber and jasmine. And, rounding it off with the base, we’ve got
a strong woody note with that orris root. So, with Office For Men, I’ve got five pros
and I got three cons. Let’s go ahead and talk about the pros.
The first thing that Jeremy did was incredibly smart is he partnered with Alberto Morillas.
If you’re not familiar with this Spaniard, this guy, I mean he’s had his hand in over
seven thousand fragrances. And he’s been personally responsible for some of the most
amazing fragrances out there and some of my personal favorites.
So, Acqua di Gio Profumo, this was his. Acqua di Gio the original, this was his. Bvlgari.
I love these fragrances; Bvlgari Man, the Orient, the spicy one, the Man in Black. He
had this – I mean this is what he developed. 212, if you like this one. Pi, CK1, Tommy.
Look at the list on this guy. This guy is a legend.
And so, to actually bring in a nose like this, someone that could come in and develop amazing
fresh fragrances, I think was a huge win for Jeremy. And really just, you know, initially
if you can do a blind buy and if you like any of these other fragrances, you definitely
got Alberto involved, but what I do know is I love the fact that we’ve got this new
media guy with this old school guy that has so much experience and we’ve got this combination.
Someone that knows that really understand fragrances that realized his name is going
to be on this fragrance with the guy that actually understands YouTube and media.
So, my point here, if you like any of these fragrances, if you’re a fan of Alberto Morillas,
then you’re probably going to like this fragrance.
So, the second thing this fragrance has going forward is Jeremy. So, I’ve spent time with
Jeremy in Germany. This guy knows fragrances. Sure, he had a big collection, but what impressed
me most is he had all the notes laid out, like a hundred and fifty notes. And, he would
go through and it was like a workout and he would actually had me test him every – because
I spent a few days with him and we – every time we walked in there, he’s like, “Okay.
Grab this one, Antonio and test me.” And I would test him and he would actually get
I think 80 to 90%. He nailed it. He knew these base notes.
I mean the guy we were out just talking to people, he would identify -- I saw him do
this just pick up fragrances, people he didn’t know. So, he understands what smells good
and what smells bad. And so, the next advantage is this is a safe
fragrance. I think it actually goes with the name, Office For Men. This is something you
should be able to wear to the office. Now, some people will consider that a bad thing
because they want their signature scent to be unique, and I actually kind of agree with
that. When I look at some of my favorite fragrances, I’ve got right over here, you know, Tobacco
Vanille by Tom Ford, Fahrenheit, those are great, but those are very strong very polarizing
fragrances. This fragrance is actually very strong. It’s
actually got great sileage, good projection depending on how much you put on, but it’s
also a very safe fragrance. Something you could wear to the office, but one spray on
maybe two sprays and it’s going to last you all day.
And I’ve seen some people comparing I’ve read some of the reviews, they’re saying,
oh, it smells like Dior Sauvage, smells like Creed Aventus, smells like Bleu de Chanel.
You know what? That’s pretty good company to be in. So, if you like those, you’re
probably going to like this. [0:05:11]
And, all that being said that it’s got a familiar scent profile, I view that as an
advantage because it’s still a unique fragrance. So, whenever people ask you, “Oh, you smell
great. What are you wearing?” Guess what? You’re able to say a fragrance that most
likely no one in your area is wearing. This is something that is a niche fragrance.
Very few people out there wearing this and I think people forget how small of – how
few people out there in the world actually have this. When you think of what is it? You
know Chanel No 5 or you think of Acqua di Gio you know, all of these right here, these
are designer fragrances. They’re out there, I mean millions and millions of these have
been sold. He has – Jeremy hasn’t grown this, so this is still a very unique fragrance.
You might be the only one in your entire group that would wear anything like this.
And, the last point which I think I may have already hit on, it’s got a fresh scent,
it’s long lasting, it’s strong, it’s got great projection, and it lasts all day.
Next up, let’s talk about the problems, the issues that Jeremy needs to fix.
First up, the packaging. The packing, the bottles, they suck. Let’s go – I mean
let’s look at the other options out there. So, those Bvlgari bottles, beautiful, amazing.
I love just the way the shape, everything. Acqua di Gio, I mean at least they got the
magnetic caps pretty simple, but a nice looking bottle. 212, creative. Pi, absolutely beautiful
bottle. But, even Tommy actually had a pretty one back in the 1990’s.
Let’s look at them and this just feels generic. And from the cap, I mean it’s slightly improved
version three, but I would love to see Jeremy spend a bit more money and come out with a
beautifully-designed bottle. Next up, let’s talk about that scent profile.
So, I hit on this earlier what is an advantage can also be a disadvantage. So, it’s a fresh
fragrance. If you already have the entire Acqua di Gio line, if you’ve got a lot of
other fresh fragrances, you many say, do I really need another one? It’s very similar
to a lot of other fresh fragrances out there if you already got, you know, Dior Sauvage
if you’ve got Creed Aventus. You know, okay, I already got something that
smells like that, but I do think that it is different enough to want you actually checking
it out. But, I get that, there are a lot of people like, you know what? I want something
incredibly unique, something very different. And now, let’s address the elephant in the
room, price. A lot of people believe he is overcharging for this fragrance. That his
price is way too high, it’s not worth it. You can get a better deal with a lot of these
other fragrances out there. And I see both sides.
I’ve talked to Jeremy about this. He’s like, “You know what? Those are designer
fragrances. This is a niche perfume. And there’s a lot of perfumes out there that are a lot
more expensive. My perfume is a work of art and I’m proud of it, I’m going to price
it appropriately.” On the other hand I see, yeah, if you want to get a really cheap fragrance
you can find those out there. Guys, I look at it this way. Okay. So, on
an average 100 ml bottle, I’m going to get about 1400 sprays, let’s say 1000 actually
it’s maybe it sprays a lot with the nozzle. The point is this can last you over two years
if you’re just using one or two sprays if maybe you spray a lot maybe five or six sprays,
maybe a full year. But, the point is we’re talking pennies
that you’re spending less than a dollar like 50 cents to smell good every single day.
And, what’s it worth to you? What do you want to spend to actually smell good?
So, what’s my final call? What’s my opinion? What is my judgment on Office For Men? Well,
I’m going to give it a 9 out of 10. I know, very biased. I’ve been a patron early on,
I love Jeremy’s story, and I’ve got it over here with my signature scents.
And, yes, it’s a clean it actually has a similar profile, but I love it and I’ve
got it over here with my Acqua di Gio, got it with my Tobacco Vanille with Tom Ford,
my Fahrenheit, my Creed Aventus, my Sauvage the eau de parfum, I absolutely love. Bentley
for Men, Absolute, my Tom Ford Noir. I’ve just got some great fragrances over here that
I am collecting and I’m having a great time with.
And, this one, because of the story – and that’s the thing is fragrances I think are
about emotion and being connected. So, if you like Jeremy’s story, if you like the
idea of a self-made man someone that born on the YouTube and wasn’t afraid to go out
there and grab real estate and really I think is an innovator and entrepreneur, then you
want to check out Office For Men. So, that’s my opinion. I’m sticking to
it. And if you want to check out for yourself Office For Men, you want to learn more about
what Jeremy is doing, use the link down in the description. I’ll try to make sure that
that link actually goes to the best deal out there. Occasionally, he does certain things
