3 Fragrances You Should Blind Buy [0:00:00]
Antonio: So, what’s a blind buy?
It’s when you trust someone’s opinion, their judgment, their expertise so much that
you go out there and make the purchase without even having tested the product yourself.
In this case, having smelt the particular fragrance.
In today’s video, I’ve got three fragrances which you can go out there and blind buy.
[Music] So, for this video, I’m not the man when it comes to fragrance.
I try, but I’m still learning.
In this case, I’m bringing in Jeremy of Jeremy Fragrance.
Are you guys, ready?
Let’s get into it.
So, I asked Jeremy to grab three fragrances that if you’re just starting off you can
go make a blind buy which is basically just go off of Jeremy’s recommendation which
tons of guys do.
And so, we’ve got three fragrances here.
Jeremy: Yeah.
Antonio: That you would recommend for a guy just starting off.
Jeremy: You can go with ten fragrances if you want.
If you want to go really hardcore saying, I want a tropical fragrance, I want an office
fragrance, I want a black leather jacket fragrance.
You can also go with simply one fragrance, but that one fragrance has to cover all bases
as good as possible.
This is one that I currently always show when it comes to I just want one fragrance and
we’re done.
So, Acqua di Gio, you say, Acqua di Gio parfum and this is the Acqua di Gio DNA mixed with
incense and then earthy patchouli vibe which makes it longer lasting and more masculine
than the original Acqua di Gio.
So, this is a fantastic upgrade for every situation you are, you can wear it everywhere.
It’s just very masculine, will always be timeless, very good one.
Antonio: Yeah.
Jeremy: But, this will never be so good in the winter like a fragrance that is perfectly
suitable for the wintertime like this one, Spicebomb Extreme.
This is based on vanilla, on spices.
I immediately am transported back to wintertime when I smell the German Weihnachtsmarkt, the
Christmas markets.
Antonio: Yeah.
Yeah.
Jeremy: Fantastic.
Antonio: Very famous in this area.
Jeremy: Yeah.
Here, I have this one.
This is playful, seductive, bubble gum fragrance.
This is Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male.
It has a very playful attitude because of an added pear note which is unusual for men’s
fragrances, again, having pear is very unusual.
It’s one of those fragrances where woman say I will also like to wear that one, but
they love it on men too.
Antonio: Yeah.
Jeremy: So, this is very playful.
It’s not...
Antonio: So, you can wear this to a club?
Jeremy: Yeah.
This is a very playful fragrance.
Not so good for the office like this one, Prada L’homme.
This is extremely clean luxury smelling fragrance that is just like you expect from Prada, clean
and not too extroverted too crazy in the scent profile, just clean fresh gets the job done.
Antonio: Yeah.
So, perfect for summer?
Jeremy: Yeah.
Antonio: Hot weather?
Jeremy: In general for the summer, spring day time especially for professional settings.
Antonio: I’m going to link to Jeremy’s channel down in the description.
I’m also going to link to the videos which he talks about probably all of these in a
lot more details because I do remember you talking about it and when you were in Atlanta,
you are very adamant about Spicebomb Extreme.
Jeremy: Yes.
Antonio: Not just going with the regular Spicebomb.
Jeremy: Yes.
Antonio: And the particular differences in the two.
Jeremy: Because that one for example the normal Spicebomb has a very piercing scent character,
very peppery vibe which makes you sneeze and might be too offensive to people that are
close to you.
The Spicebomb Extreme has covered much more in a very overwhelming sweet vanilla that
covers that spices, it makes it more cozy and approachable.
This is the reason why I decide this is much better than the original.
Antonio: Yeah.
You got some pretty good size bottles.
This is what?
A 100?
Jeremy: This is 150.
Antonio: Is it something that you recommend guys – what size bottle should they get
normally?
50?
Jeremy: Yeah, at least 50.
I know the American market likes bigger bottles more than the European market.
Of course, there’s always a better price value proposition when you buy bigger bottles.
Antonio: Yeah.
Jeremy: But, do know that if you buy yourself the 250 ml bottle and you don’t treat it
nicely, you leave in the bathroom which is not good, you expose it to light or to heat
or too much cold, it will go back with time or you simply don’t like it anymore and
you leave 170 ml in your bottle.
Antonio: Yeah.
Jeremy: You can’t take it for travel you also have to know, so pros and cons.
Antonio: So, what do you guys think?
Agree?
Disagree?
Let me know down in the comments.
Let’s say, Antonio, how do I even apply a fragrance correctly?
