what's up guys so today a different video i'm going to share with you my top
five blind buys of 2020. so blind buy is something that i don't really advocate
for i always tell you guys not to do it but i'm guilty as charged i do it quite often
and i've actually compiled a list of the top 15 fragrances that i blind bought this year from
many that i blind bought but these are the 15 that i truly love but i'm going to share five
with you today you guys want to see a part two of part three of this particular blind buy subject
be sure to leave it in the like if this video hits 500 or more likes i will definitely do a part two
for you guys so without any further ado these are my top five blind buys of 2020 guys let's do it
what's up guys so today a little something different for you guys this is a subject
that i get asked about almost on a daily basis people want to know hey should i buy and buy
this fragrance do you recommend blind buying and my answer is inevitably always no do not blind
by if you can help it i do enjoy doing it from time to time i like that butterfly feeling in the
stomach that i get before it gets in the mail and then when the package arrives opening that package
and trying the fragrance to see if i'm gonna like it or not so i do enjoy that it's a little bit of
a crazy feeling that i've had for many years you know i've been in this game for about 12 years now
i've been collecting fragrances for almost 20 years so needless to say i do my share of blind
buying so these are going to be the five that i really loved and really blew me away and kind of
like was totally out of lat field some of these i couldn't believe how good they were so i'm going
to share with you but i don't recommend the short answer here is no if you guys can help it if you
guys can try it before you buy it if you can get a decant definitely do so and you can do most of
these fragrances if not all of them are available at myfragrancesamples.com so i'm going to have
the link below with their christmas code that they have going on right now for the holiday season so
enjoy that extra savings and try these before you buy them but sometimes if it's a great deal i just
go ahead and pull the trigger because i can't wait to get the deacon i just want the damn bottle but
without any further ado guys let's hop into these choices so at the fifth spot here and
these are no particular order perhaps the first two are going to be my favorites but
these are all great blind buys in my opinion again i'm not condoning or suggesting you guys go buy
buy these but they were successful blind buys for me nonetheless first one here at the fit
spot we have a zaro porom wild mint now this is a 2019 release actually this is a 2020 release
the whole collection was released in 2019 and this was the latest uh iteration of this
poor old new essential blends which actually was quite hyped in the fragrance community this year
but i have to say this is definitely my favorite along with ginger i love ginger which
is like a blue day chanel spicier gingerbread chanel and this one here really blew me away
it has a lot of mint in here especially at the top it has this calypso slash watermelon vibe
a great scent i think it made my top summer affordable fragrances you picked this up for like
under 30 bucks i think i paid 26 27 400 mil this actually unscrews at the top so if you want to
decant this you can with the papat so i love what they did here the bottle looks beautiful
i think it's great you know it's going to smell great like i said you have that watermelon salty
watermelon you know nautical kind of marine vibe to the fragrance with the calypso tons of mint
here especially in the first hour of the fragrance then it dies down to this creamy patchouli slash
watermelon vibe i love this stuff also has that bluish vibe that i talked about
but it also has a little bit of a fujiarish kind of a vibe in the back so i love what they
did here and for under 30 bucks you really can't go wrong so at zara prom wildman the
whole central blend is definitely worth checking out if you run a budget you want to smell great
these will last about seven plus hours and the price you just can't beat it wildman here at the
fifth spot favorite blind buys of 2020. and by the way all the frequencies that i'm talking about i
think for the most part i have full reviews on if i do have a full review i'm gonna pop it up
here so you guys can check it out wildman i know i have a full review on and this one next one coming
up here is definitely one that i did a full review for you guys because it was that good and i wanted
to share with you of course i'm talking about bentley this is going to be four-man silver lake
now bentley overall has a great fragrance line i think it's the best car brand out there they do a
great job it's long lasting the pricing is great performs well it smells amazing this one here is
no different this one here is going to be called silver lake which is the newest 2020 release again
full review was done for you guys i'll pop it up here what i love about this fragrance is because
it smells great it's going to be another great one for summer and springtime and what this reminds me
of this is going to be very similar to a very sought after discontinued fragrance from that
for more money the aqua did you acqua de gio um etcenza which is very expensive these days
hard to find bentley was just smart to release this fragrance because they knew people wanted
to sends us so they were like let me come up with a fragrance that's very close i'd say 80 85
close to it sense that there's lavender here there's a very peppery beginning here
but i'd say after the first 35 40 minutes when you get really into the heart of the scent it's very
very similar to aqua digio etcenza guys if you guys missed that fragrance if you
want something that's long-lasting it's going to smell great lasts a long time i got 10 plus hours
a whole day's work and then some i think this is something you can wear casually you can dress it
up dress it down you're going to smell great if you miss that fragrance a great alternative right
here on bentley 4 man silver lake next up we have a fragrance that you guys heard me talk about an
awful lot and rightfully so it's a great release it was a great blind bite it just blew me away i
actually did a first impression for you guys on camera because i was doing an unboxing that i've
done for you guys many unboxings first impressions this year this was featured one of them
and this is of course salvatore fergamos now salvatore fregamo just like cartier i think
are two great houses isi miyaki as well i'm gonna you know cluster those three together i
think there are great brands that will offer a big bang for your buck i think they make very creative
fragrances very well blended long lasting for a great price this one here i paid i think just
a little under 50 bucks probably sold that at this point they might have it where i
picked it up again i'm going to have all these fragrances list in the description for you guys
if you want to pick up a bottle hopefully they still have it in stock but this one
here i also didn't actually i did a full review for you guys in this one so i'm going to pop it
up here so you guys can check it out definitely worth checking out guys now this fragrance here
is going to be mostly a leather tobacco and spices kind of a fragrance with a benzoin and tonka bean
base it smells so freaking good it reminds me of a modern version of hermes bellamy i feature
this fragrance on my latest video the top winter designers this is an incredible fragrance guys i'm
telling you right now if you like cognac if you like the boozy fast the leather the spices this
is not gonna let you down i think it's well worth the price you know just a little under 50 bucks i
mean heck if this was 70 bucks i would play i would pay with a smile you know and the fact
that i bought this blindly and just blew me away it just makes me love it even more guys check this
out if you haven't definitely a great blind buy if you do enjoy fragrances you know that i enjoy
if you have a taste similar to mine but again if you can't get a decant maybe don't blind buy
it this is going to be like i said a modernized version sweeter version uh with that tonka benzoin
uh of bellamy for uh for man you know or mass bellamy for men which is kind of an aged dated
kind of a fragrance these days i love it i think it's a masterpiece leather fragrance this one here
has some ud but it's in the background it's mostly a tobacco leather spices benzoin patchouli and
that beautiful tonka in the background that adds that sweetness to it needless to say a great blind
buy for 2020. next up here this was actually one of my first blind buys of 2020. i believe i picked
this up early this year january february and i did a full review for you guys i'll pop it up here and
it was definitely my one of my favorite designer blind buys because it just blew me away from the
first impression from the scent you know the first spray i just was like wow this stuff is amazing
people need to hear about this from a brand back to back you know salvatore ferragamo now cartier
could have included isi miyaki here as well because i did get some some blind buys from
them this year that were actually pretty good but this one here was definitely one of my favorites
this year this is going to be pasha the cartier and this is the pachfum 2019 edition but i only
picked it up in 2020 hence the fact that it's here and this stuff here i'm so glad i blind bought it
it smells like a million bucks guys i believe it made my top fall designers
it smells so good again boozy whiskey matilda was the actual perfumer and she nailed this fragrance
she kept the same profile the dna of the original cartier pohom which is more of a shipra meets
fujere but she added these incredible nuances to this fragrance like the whiskey sandalwood tons of
cinnamon here it's spicy it's warm it's cozy it's balsamic one word to sum this up this is stellar
guys if you haven't checked this out definitely consider checking it out one of my favorite
discoveries and blind buys of this year hands down guys from the designer game amazing cocktail pasha
pachum 2019 slash 2020 release great blind buy guys not saying go blind buy it but if you have
a taste similar to mine if you like the original you're gonna love this one last but not least the
last blind buy here comes from the house of penn halligan's which is a great house if you love
classy you know sophisticated elegant fragrances they do an amazing job you know that collection
that has the the metal hats are just incredible but this one here comes from the half fatty
collection which the nose behind all of the hal fatty fragrance is actually christian provenzano
which was actually featured at scent explorer 2020 love his fragrances and this one here
won a couple awards it's just a great beautiful lacquered wooden box that comes in
and this of course how fatty leather or the fum this stuff here smells amazing what i
love about this fragrance actually been wearing this quite nicely now because it's getting warm
it's getting colder now not warm this is making me warmer when i wear it but it's getting colder out
and this is just an outstanding scent guys i get a little booziness up top but it's definitely a very
nice leather spicy leather with plum there's a great note of plum here and spices there's also a
beautiful patchouli at the dry down and what this reminds me of guys this reminds me of a darker
more resinous pungent version of this particular fragrance here which is discontinued bun number
nine uh in the warhol fetches huge money now online and also plum japanese from tom ford so if
you like those two fragrances this is definitely gonna get your juices flowing you're going to love
this fragrance because again it's going to be resinous it's going to have a beautiful skanky
leather which is you know embellished by these spicy components and the gorgeous beautiful boozy
plum that i get here a great blind buy for me this was the most expensive of all the blind buys here
i think i paid 170 or something but i'm glad i did because it is an outstanding fragrance if you love
ben halligan's if you love niche if you like dark leather fragrances if you love
plum like i said this stuff here will blow you away one of my favorite blind buys of 2020 hands
