welcome back to another video max forti here, today we're talking about
TUMI fragrances, fragrances to me fragrances to you, of course we're talking about Continuum
the new Tumi fragrance from 2021, we're also going to talk about
all previous releases from this brand we're going to talk about the whole collection
what i get from the fragrances performance if it's worth your time and money, stay tuned it's up next ;)
all right so we're talking TUMI fragrances today we're going to talk about the first two
releases that were released in 2020 last year that i didn't have the chance to talk to you guys about
which i thought if i'm going to talk about the new one Continuum i might as well talk
about Awaken and Unwind which were the two previous releases from last year i'm going to
describe these fragrances to you tell you what i get out of them performance so forth and so
on so we're going to start off with a new one but before we do that i want to let you guys know that
Tumi fragrances is something new that this company has started because essentially it's
a luggage, refined, luxury luggage items brand, and luggage goods that started in 1975
and they haven't really started the fragrance journey until last year with Awaken
and of course Unwind so let's talk about Awaken first we'll take a look at the box here
what i like about this particular fragrance line is that because they're doing travel
luggages and things like that their hashtag and ethos is actually perfecting the journey or
perfecting the travel so here's the logo right here this is the box for Awaken and it says
eight o'clock so you're thinking eight o'clock in the morning you're going to start your
day what do you think about when you think about a fragrance that's good to to put on maybe you took
a shower you're ready to go on a travel and a trip what kind of fragrance would encompass or
evoke the name Awaken? i mean i'm thinking grapefruit i'm thinking bergamot i'm thinking
uplifting bright and sparkling kind of notes and that's what you get here one cool thing about
these fragrances though is the mechanism to open the caps the bottles as you see here it will not
come off it's really tighten in there because it has an opening mechanism here when it says red
you have to switch to the side and it'll release the actual cap which is actually pretty
cool i have a test strip here reminding myself of the opening of Awaken, the bottles are pretty
cool and what you have here in this particular fragrance is again that really bright
very effervescent uplifting kind of grapefruit bergamot and citruses like mandarin and
it's going to be very much in that vein of uplifting bright with the grapefruit and
the citrus elements here but however it has some herbal components here in the heart like sage for
example which gives this a nice green not mature but definitely very sophisticated and
elegant vibe to the fragrance you also have with Awaken a really nice cypress note here which again
enhances that creamy green vibe that i talked about, in the base you have a really nice dry
patchouli along with a gorgeous woody sear note so this is good stuff guys and it's long lasting
i get eight plus hours with Awaken, I love the bottle very heavy metal cap the bottle is also very heavy
glass so really cool stuff right here performance like i said you know seven to eight hours on
average i do spray my clothes which gives me eight plus so this is really good good stuff. To give
you an idea of what this fragrance smells like, Awaken to me is a combination of three fragrances
if you took a little bit of the woodiness and spiciness of Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce and
you left that all the way down in the bottom and the heart of this fragrance is pretty much like YSL Y
for men and then at the top you have a spicier creamier version of L'homme from YSL, so to me it's a
winner guys it's long lasting it smells great what more can you ask, Awaken is great stuff here which
was released last year 2020. People talked about it quite a bit and then it kind of faded away but
i'm telling you if i had this fragrance during Spring of this year, because i've only gotten this about a month ago.
i'm definitely going to be rocking this fragrance a lot come spring next year so look to
see this particular fragrance in my top spring of next year for sure. Next up we're going to
talk about the other release also from 2020 which is called Unwind. Unwind here has a time
here on the actual box which says 20:00 that in
the army time means 8 o'clock p.m for those of you that don't know so this particular fragrance guys
Unwind the name the time i'm thinking y end of the day you had a long day you worked hard
or you traveled hard you had many places that you visited so it's coming now
to the night time now perhaps you had a drink dinner you're really unwinding as it were so
Unwind is going to be a fragrance and i'm thinking it's going to be a little bit creamier a little
bit more cozy if you will perhaps a little bit more sophisticated even than Awaken and maybe
even attractive because maybe you're gonna Unwind with somebody you love maybe you're gonna meet
somebody for a romantic dinner so forth and so on so again the same same deal here the bottle
is the same as is in Awaken except for it's a little darker from gradient dark to lighter
and we're going to take it for a quick test right here so i can remind myself of the smell
and it's exactly that guys it's going to be a little spicier a little bit creamier definitely
more sophisticated and perhaps even more elegant than Awaken. This is going to be like i said
later in the day maybe going on a date romantic setting dinner a little dressier that's what
you're going to get here and i'm telling you right off the top i get a really nice peppery
cedar note i don't know if they took the cedar that they had on Awaken and put it on this
fragrance here and spiced it up with some black pepper that's what i'm getting here from the top
which i really love because i love pepper in my fragrance it's really attractive very
compelling and really inviting that's what i'm getting here so looking at the notes guys again
it's gonna give you the citruses of top with ginger there's that spiciness that i talked
about i definitely get some black pepper nuances here there's some lavender here which gives you
more or less like a sweet Invictus vibe if you know those fragrances with the tonka
the lavender, it's definitely present but it's in the background more so you're going to get
that ginger and peppery opening which i love and then in he base you're going to get a very woody and
dark vetiver enhanced by that pepper that i talked about with a little hint a little dab of oud to make
things interesting and a little bit mysterious and a little bit of a sandalwood vibe here which
definitely give that creaminess that i talked about in the beginning making this creamier spicer
cozy as well but definitely more intriguing than Awaken, but very good as well this one here i got
eight to nine hours on average if you spray your clothes you're gonna get 10 plus, it lasts a long time
guys i love Unwind i think comparing it to Awaken i like them both but i think Awaken
is more for day wear running errands office this is definitely a little dressier a little more
attractive perhaps good for evening time if you're going out dancing if you're going out to meet with
somebody it's gonna definitely give you a great first impression type of deal guys, I'm loving
this one, definitely one that's worth checking out. I'm gonna show you the box real quickly again very
similar but it's just a little darker than the Awaken and the scent itself is also a little darker
a little a little bit heavier. Let's talk about the newest one from 2021 Continuum
12 noon is the time here that they're trying to portray or evoke and what kind of a fragrance
do you think for 12 o'clock? the box itself has this copper tinge to it, its little dark copper
vibe or burgundy, when i look at the box itself in the bottle which
by the way has this gradient copper look to it with the silver laddering
the cap itself with the metals also has this burgundy or bronze kind of a color so when
i'm looking at this bottle i'm thinking spicy i'm thinking dark i'm thinking elegant sophisticated
i'm thinking fall i'm thinking winter the weather that we have right now and guys let me tell you
this smell here is just amazing it's my favorite from all three this is a special scent guys let
me tell you this has niche quality all over it's going to give you like this boozy red wine kind of
kind of an accord if you like wine i love pinot noir so you pour a glass of pinot noir
you take that glass and you smell that wine that's what i get here a spicy boozy wine kind of a
vibe right from the beginning which had me right away, it's simple as that, it opens up as you'll see
here on the website with green mandarin orange it also has an incense vibe and earthy amber
I get a red wine boozy accord here for sure i'm not saying that they have wine accord here in
this fragrance but the combination of notes the fruitiness of the green and mandarin which the
earthy amber adds this sweet and really unique vibe to this fragrance along with the smoky
instance that doesn't make this very smoky but it definitely has a little bit of a dark smoky facet
to the scent. Now here's where the fragrance really starts to shine on my skin guys in the heart
because you have iris you have tobacco and you have cistus, so it's got this gorgeous tuberose
creamy tobacco and this unbelievably good iris that's infused into this fragrance guys so if you
like dark spicy tobacco and iris type fragrances that's going to be long-lasting it's going to give
you really an edge, make you stand out in the fall if i had gotten my hands on this fragrance prior to
this video this would have definitely made my top fall videos which by the time you watching this
review chances are all my fall videos are already out, the designer the niche and
the affordable choices but this would have made the top choices designer or niche for sure
because it's just very unique smelling guys, now the base gets even darker because they infuse food
in this fragrance leather and also dark musk. This fragrance is musky it's spicy it's attractive
it's intriguing it's mysterious i have to tell you guys this is so good that if this was released by
Tom Ford and they called it Dark Musk or something, you guys would easily pay US$300 with
a smile on your face i'm telling you guys this is incredible smelling like i said i get this boozy
red wine accord up top with the spices the beautiful smoky incense here with the earthy
amber the oud the leather the iris it's just absolutely incredible guys trust me if your taste
is similar to mine if you're looking for something amazing and unique to rock this fall and
winter time look no further guys this stuff here will definetely give you an edge. Let me know in the
