welcome back to another video I'm Max Forti today we're talking about something that's quite tough
to do, I was tagged, this is actually a tagged video talking about my 10 favorite fragrances for life
I have to toss all the rest everything you see back here has to go on and be gone to garbage
the garbage bin I can only keep ten this was a tag by my friend the bow tie fragrance guy
which is Darian. If you guys haven't checked out his channel yet please do
but let's get to the task at hand here i gotta give you guys the 10 frequencies that i would keep
from now until the rest of my life guys stick around it's coming up next
ladies and gentlemen welcome back to another video i'm max forte today as you saw from the
beginning and for the thumbnail it's going to be 10 fragrances that i want to keep for the rest of
my life now this was no easy task so i really didn't want to factor in season availability i
really wanted to pinpoint the fragrance that i truly love that i would love to keep from from
now into the rest of my life i could only wear these which would actually be a good thing you
know i wouldn't have a hard time deciding what to wear as usually i have a hard time figuring it out
but as you guys know it's really hard to have only five or ten fragrances because we love this stuff
so much and you know i've gotten rid of stuff in the past and then i missed it so much i had to
repurchase again a conversation for a different video let's stick to the subject at hand here
10 fragrances for life designers and each indie combined no way around it i got to give you guys
10 fragrances so i got to start with the first one here that is a fragrance that's near and dear to
me if you guys follow this channel for any length of time you know how much i love my fujiers this
is also my first passion and fragrances my first discovery when i was about seven years old and i'm
talking about azaro porom i have a few bottles of this fragrance here the vintage formulation
with the sticker so it's safe to say that i can have this for the rest of my life as one of my
favorite fragrances i could have easily included a great sheep or that i love which is patopur om but
unfortunately i only have one bottle and i know uh once that's gone it's gonna be nearly impossible
to replace so this one here because i have over a dozen bottles of this vintage formulation and
i love it so much it's so near and dear to my heart i would definitely keep this incredible
fujier at zaraporum the original as one of my you know top 10 for life second choice here i would
go with something that's also very groundbreaking something that when i first smelled was actually
my second uh niche purchase and it's a fragrance that it's very bold it's very strong
very powerful a maurice roussel fragrance from frederick mall and of course i'm talking about
musk ravager now this starts very spicy very pungent with a gorgeous note of spices
with cloves and cinnamon this can be off-putting in the beginning but from the heart it's also a
little minimalistic but from the heart and to the dry down guys it's heavenly it's like a
you know a warm cinnabon so musk ravager this is an old vintage formulation but i have a couple
uh newer bottles so i could definitely keep this in my you know 10 for life it's safe to
say that i perhaps lived half of my life already so i think i'll be able to manage
uh wearing you know musk robbers or you know 10 for life i think this is this is a safe bet
in this top 10 list here let's continue here i'm going to continue here now we're going to
go i went designer niche we're going to go back to designers now another one guys that if you
follow me you know it's actually perhaps one of my favorite fragrances of all time because
if you think about my signature scent it would definitely have to be this is the fragrance that
i own the most bottles of meaning uh one fragrance that i have more bottles of this
formulation it would definitely be this one and i'm talking about dolce gabbana poor om
the one with the sticker this formulation here was available from 1994 all the way until 2000
until it was you know reformulated i think made in germany then made in uk now i think
it's currently made in uk but it is nothing like what this fragrance used to be this is a gorgeous
neo barber shop kind of a fragrance with a beautiful tobacco base it's very different again
it's going to be lavender predominant because it's going to be a spicy lavender barbershop fragrance
but different than this one here which has your knees it has a lot of oak moss
this one here instead replaces that oak moss with a beautiful tobacco in the base it's very
attention grabbing it's very sophisticated very timeless this fragrance never gets old i always
get a lot of compliments and it's a fragrance it's been in my life for all major events you know high
school graduation college graduation you know the birth of my kids so the list goes on and on and
on it's a great great fragrance that i absolutely love deutsche bank forum the original definitely
in my 10 for life here countdown now let's go a little bit oriental and spicy here i love dior
fahrenheit your happens to be my favorite designer house of all time they have something for everyone
but fahrenheit the original very hard to find fragrance today we're talking about the original
release from 1987. it has been reformulated so many times what we have today still smells good
but it's you know an eighth of what this fragrance used to smell like so i want to go a little bit
more modern and again this is a fragrance that i have a few bottles of which is fahrenheit
lip our foam now this is not going to be for everyone what i love about this is that it kept
that gasoline kind of a cord with with the violet leaf violet flower but it added this spicy
vanilla bourbon bouzia quartz of this fragrance making it so sensual so elegant it's one of the
fragrance that i absolutely love in the full and winter time here where i am because i get the fall
foliage you know the leaves change every fall and this is a fragrance that smells like fall in the
bottle it's spicy it's creamy it's groundbreaking it's one of those fragrances that over the past
six plus years you know from it was released in 2014 i think over the past you know seven
years now i don't think there has been such a great fragrance like this but i think 2014
was a great year there's another one here that was released in 2014 that i'll share with you
which let's just do that it's another dior as well so we'll go with your back to back
on its 10 for life here it's going to be the your own parfum which is going to be a leather
with food and the iris cocoa patchouli that we get with the original the arm intense now this
is not going to be for everyone guys the the wood here along with the dark skanky leather
makes it for a fragrance that's not going to be for everyone but it smells amazing it retains
that beautiful patchouli iris combo that you get from your own intense and adds this beautiful
dark leather with the gorgeous wood note here i love this stuff not easy to find i have a couple
backup bottles again it's a very strong fragrance you only need about two sprays it's gonna really
you know radiate and push it's very very uh you know projection monster right here it's a beast
mode type of a fragrance so it's safe to say that i that i can't have this for the rest of
my life if i had the original your own with the silver stamp i would have probably kept
that fragrance for life instead of perfume but since i have a lot of these bottles i think i have
three or four bottles of this fragrance right now maybe three at this point i think i gave one as a
gift but i think i can keep this for the rest of my life and because the original to your own with
the silver stamp is so hard to find i don't have it that's the reason why i didn't keep it in this
list if i had that if i had a couple bottles of that it would have replaced the orange bar foam
now we're down to the last five here let's go back to the niche side of things you guys know
how much i love that of her fragrances so i'm gonna give you guys this here if i could only
keep ten i perhaps would only keep this one here as my go-to vetiver fragrance and thankfully i
have two bottles of this and the one the second bottle is closed and sealed this is vetiver
the dior prevailing that's now been replaced by the it's called i think the maison dior
as opposed to la collection prive which has amazing fragrances such as this one from what
i understand this has been discontinued but you can still find this at your boutiques and friends
again don't quote me on that but this is one of the best vetiver fragrances of all time it's
basically green coffee beans with a combination of different vetivers of course there's a lot
more stuff this fragrance there's also a gorgeous sandalwood base the vat over here haitian vetiver
japanese vetiver it is just incredible guys it's it's very it's nuclear vetiver it's vetiver on
steroids lasts a long time it's sophisticated it's elegant it's groundbreaking it's trendsetter why
did they discontinue this i will never know maybe it was too expensive to make who the hell knows it
is a great fragrance and i'm glad to have a backup bottle and enough to have it in my collection for
life on my 10 for life now last four here we're going to go to the niche side of things again from
a house that is definitely in the top five best niche fragrances in the world in my opinion it's
called roja parfums raja does amazing fragrances i mean the blends are amazing the guy worked for
johan i think he worked for hermes i mean he's a great perfumer a fantastic nose everything he puts
out is gold i mean everything touch he's like the the elvis of the fragrance world you know
a modern day legend living legend if you will i mean the attractives are on and on here but
the fragrance i'm talking about is this fragrance right here roja parfam's enigma this is actually
signed by raja i had the pleasure to meet and interviewed him and this is a gorgeous whiskey
or cognac base set it's boozy up top it's got spices it's got this vanilla spicy woody base
it's just it's it's incredible it's blended to perfection it's a boss it's a ceo type of a scent
it's something that if you're wearing and you walk into a room there's no two ways about it
people are going to turn their heads and they're going to ask you i'm sorry please what are you
wearing because i need this in my life that's how good this is guys roja parfums enigma creation e
a boozy spicy woody fragrance oriental one of the finest fragrances i've ever put my nose on
one that if you guys follow my channel you know i love it so much and i always talk about this being
one of the fragrances that i would definitely keep for the rest of my life now let's stay with
the niche side of things now this is actually my first niche purchase of all time i have a very um
a lot of motions attached to this fragrance it was like i said my first niche purchase
in fact when i purchased this bottle for the first time i paid retail and it was so expensive
that i actually bought a 50 mil but i fell in love with it so much it got me so many compliments you
know i've you know created so many memories and emotions with this fragrance and i kept buying the
hundred mil i have a couple backup bottles this is the original formulation and this is going to be
reflection man from the house of amwaj now this is going to be a woody floral musk
masculine fragrance i think women can pull this off this gorgeous note of jasmine here very floral
there's also a pimento nose which which makes this a little bit spicy it's creamy i think there is
a vetiver in the base but it's very faint it's mostly a woody floral musk so there's woods here
in the base and that gorgeous white musk with the jasmine that's really uh the star player
of this fragrance i love the jam i mean the em wash fragrances are just a work of art but
the scent here in of itself is incredible guys and it is definitely my favorite homage i think along
with jubilation 25 but i would keep reflection man just because again i have more of an emotional
attachment to this fragrance as it was my first niche purchase of all time now i'm going to give
you guys two amazing fragrances now one it's going to be a lot of you might joke about hey i can't
believe you're going to keep this in your top 10 for life but hear me out guys the reason why i'm
keeping this one here is because again i have a lot of motions attached to this fragrance it's
very playful it's very youthful and i have older formulations of this fragrance which is beast
and again a lot of people might think this is obnoxious it smells too sweet it's too bubblegummy
by now you should know what i'm talking about but all i remember guys is when this fragrance
was first released in 2008 and you couldn't find this here in us and people were paying two to
three hundred bucks for a bottle of this just like when pure malt from mueller was this continued and
for a little brief moment there people were paying two to three hundred dollars for partial bottles
it was happening with this fragrance here guys and again i have a lot of memories attached to
this fragrance i was going out i was clubbing i was dating heavily dating at the point that i
was wearing this fragrance this is going to be 1 million by paco rabon guys say what you will
this is just one of the best openings of all time yes it's playful yes it's youthful yes it's jovial
uh but it smells great guys there hasn't been and i'm telling you this right now there hasn't been
one time that i've been wearing this fragrance in my life that i didn't get a compliment even guys
would ask me what are you wearing man you smell so i remember being in clubs and dancing guys would
be like man you smell so good what the hell are you wearing i mean as you sweat this stuff pushes
even more projection here's beast and it lasts a long time we're talking 12 plus hours if you get
a you know vintage bottle or an older bottle pre-2012 you're going to be all set anything
above 2012 it's going to be a little bit formulated you're going to have to spray
a little heavier perhaps spray your clothes but it's still going to be a strong uh fragrance it's
got it's going to have this beautiful you know blood orange up top with mint there's a rose
you know aspect of the fragrance it's very sweet it's very um it can be a little bit off-putting
uh to some people but like i said i it works beautifully with my body chemistry and you can
ask people to have smell this on me they're gonna test the ass the guy smells good with
this fragrance so we'll just leave it at that now the last one here is going to be from tom
ford private blend i had to pick one from time for private bland because the private blend is another
one of those fragrance houses that i really love and over the past few years since 2007 with the
inception of the private blends i remember very very vividly experiencing some of those
fragrances in the beginning that i absolutely fell in love with like shaponoir for example
um arabian wood i think was another one that i loved but anyway there was a top top three or
four from the beginning of the initial collection that i absolutely loved including a 2010 release
italian cypress sadly enough i only have a couple of 50 ml italian cypress it has been discontinued
so i'm not going to keep it in my top 10 for life instead i'm actually going to keep this fragrance
here that i have a 50ml and this beautiful flat cone here so i know this can really last me a
lifetime and i'm talking about moss brush which is my favorite tom ford private blend of all time
you guys know i love moss moss and vetiver are my two favorite notes and fragrances and
this one here is an absolutely exquisite creamy spicy moss base scent it's going to have this
old school powerhouse feel to the fragrance with that tom ford you know very sophisticated classy
and elegant touch that only he knows how to do how especially when you talk about 2007
2010 the beginning years of the private blend that's when he was releasing the best possible
fragrances you could try guys if you can get a bottle of decant of this particular fragrance
it's definitely going to blow you away i know it has blown me away to this day it is my favorite
private blend and i'm glad to have it in my top 10 for life now it's your turn guys i want to know
