fragrances, what is your favorite boozy note? that's exactly what we're talking about today let's do it ;)
i'm very excited about this video today because i'm going to be talking about one of my favorite
notes in fragrance in perfumery which is boozy notes, we're talking absinthe, whiskey brandy cognac,
rum, whatever it is i am covering today and these are going to be my best boozy fragrances of all time
to date so brace yourselves grab a drink let's hop into that. i'm going to kick things off here
with a fragrance that unfortunately has been discontinued, it's a little bit hard
to find, and you're going to say "Max why the hell are you talking about a discontinued fragrance?"
because it deserves to be talked about guys you know i share with you things that
are off the beaten path or hidden gems and this , is one such fragrance i'm talking about Barolo
from the house of Boticario from Brazil and this is a special reserve fragrance released in 2008
i think it was discontinued around 2012 give or take and this my friends is the
best expression of a great wine based scent this was a fragrance that was created in 2007
2008 and it was actually aged in barolo wine caskets or barrel to give this an incredible
amazing wine facet, it is one of my favorite wine fragrances in the world, or it is safe to say
it's my favorite wine fragrance in the world you can't really find this as easy but it's still
around on the internet and i'm telling you right now if you're watching this video you find this
grab it before it's totally gone it's gonna run you about US$150 to 200 usd but i'm telling you if
you don't like it hit me up and i'll grab it from you, Barolo is one of the best if not the best wine
expression fragrance period. So this video is going to be broken down into two categories this was an
honorable mention that i just talked about now we're going to do designers because it was hard
to do just 10 so i'm doing the top 15 for you guys five designers and 10 niche which i think
between the boozy notes that i like these are the best expression of those boozy notes in the
market today so let's start with the designers choices we're going to kick things off here with
this fragrance here from Bentley which is my favorite car fragrance brand this is Bentley
for Men Intense i'm sure you've heard about this fragrance this is the best boozy fragrance
money can buy when it comes to price proposition, it smells great, lasts a long time and this fragrance
here is comprised of whiskey, leather and spices, it's absolutely stunning. This next choice
here it's funny there's an antidote here there's a story about this fragrance because i first
heard about this fragrance around 2010 it was initially released in 2009 and this fragrance
here right around 2012 when i was trying to get myself a bottle was impossible to find
and people were gladly paying 200 to 300 dollars for a used partial bottle of this fragrance and
i'm talking about Pure Malt from Thierry Mugler A*men Pure Malt, this particular fragrance guys
is going to be a fragrance that's comprised of whiskey, dried fruits, gorgeous patchouli,
malt, that milky facet that you get with Angel man but this amplifies the booziness of Angel man absolutely
incredible fragrance long lasting powerful, Pure Malt from Mugler, amazing, check this out if
you haven't you're not going to disappoint, If you like boozy notes, this is a great one. Next up we
have a fragrance that i absolutely love you guys know this makes a lot of my top fragrance lists
because it has obviously great boozy notes in here it's going to be the feel of a club, Jazz Club, as
the name implies it's perfectly fitted here for this fragrance, and Jazz Club is going to have notes of
tobacco, spices, and whiskey, absolutely indulging, absolutely intoxicating, Jazz Club from Maison
Martin Margiela. Second to last fragrance here is in my opinion, in my humble opinion of course,
my taste, the best designer release over the past decade, this takes the original fragrance, this
is actually a flanker, a better flanker than the original of course, the original's been reformulated
so i like this better these days because it took that gorgeous leather/ violet leaf
and added this scrumptious vanilla bourbon note and of course i'm talking about Fahrenheit
Le Parfum, enough said, you guys are hearing a lot about this fragrance for a reason, get yours
today. Next up here the final pick for the designers is a doozy, this happens to be
my favorite designer release in the market today, i'm telling you this is a perfect expression of
the amber spicy, neo-fougere type of a scent and i'm talking about of course Cartier Pasha Parfum, this
fragrance is comprised of whiskey, patchouli, spices, sandalwood, resins and balsam fur, absolutely
stunner of a fragrance, this is classic meets modern to perfection, again my favorite
designer release currently in the market you need this in your collection if you have your taste
similar to mine. Before i get into the niche picks i want to just let you know that

to start off breaking down the walls because this fragrance here is an amazing boozy scent and it happened
to be, it's a very special fragrance to me because it was my scent of the day for my wedding, it was my
wedding day scent, i love this fragrance and why it's in the 10th spot is because i wear this very
gingerly only on special occasions and i'm talking about Majda Bekkali Fusion Sacree, it
has predominant notes of rum, spices, resins, patchouli and sandalwood. This next
one here at the 9th spot is a fragrance brand that i love and i spoke to you guys about this over the
past three years highly, all ffragrances i've tried from this house has been always amazing
quality with a wow effect, this one here is no different, we're talking about Les Jeux Sont Faits,
pardon my french, i don't speak french very well, but this one here guys is
a great boozy scent i absolutely love this stuff, this is resinous, it's boozy,
it's intoxicating, and it's very sensual, it has notes of spiced
rum, tobacco, resins, patchouli and dried fruits, it's absolutely stunning, Les Jeux Sont Faits from Jovoy.
Coming up on the list this fragrance here on scent alone, which most fragrances from this particular
line are, is incredible, I just wish they had a little longer performance, so Frapin if you're listening,
give me, give us a Noir or Extreme version of this fragrance and i'm talking about 1270 from Frapin,
which is an incredible spice, boozy type of a scent that does not give me more than five to six hours, if
this stuff gear gave me eight plus it would have been way higher on the list. What i love about
this fragrance is it opens up with a beautiful dried fruit combination, it's like a drenched
dry fruits plummy kind of a vibe that you get, it's really fruity up top, very resinous and
you have this dry down which is a gorgeous fruity vanilla bourbon infusion with a hint of
honey, it is absolutely intoxicating, absolutely sensual, if you don't want something that's going
to project and last the whole day but you want something to smell really amazing for a few
hours, if you're going to meet somebody, a romantic encounter, if you're gonna go for a date,
a nice evening setting this stuff will make you smell like a million bucks without trying too
hard, 1270 Frapin, this is a must-have if you want sensual boozy fragrances. At the seventh spot
this fragrance was one of the most talked about and sought after fragrances last year i have a
full review on this fragrance so you guys can check it out up here and this fragrance from the
house of Killian, you know Killian is quality, this is going to be Angel's Share. So Angel's Share is
going to be this fragrance that is predominantly a whiskey scent that's going to be aged in an oak
barrel that had housed brandy or cognac and then in the base you have spices like cinnamon
along with vanilla to give it a nice gourmandi kind of a touch, an amazing scent, long lasting, it's
one of those scents that's going to really set you apart from the crowd, you want to smell unique, you
really want a nice scent to make you stand out? Angels Share is definitely the way to go. Next up
we have a fragrance that is to me one of the best creations i've tried this year one of my favorite
discoveries so far and it is just a gorgeous fragrance the name of the fragrance is Plum
in Cognac and the name says it all it's going to be a drenched juicy plum in amazing scrumptious cognac
it's boozy, it's creamy, it's spicy, it's tantalizing, it's one of those things that's definitely gonna
grab you at hello and it's a fragrance that if you ask me my top favorite releases of 2021 this is
definitely gonna make the top three at this point we have about three months left to go in the year,
maybe it'll be like my favorite one period but right now it's definitely in the top three best
of 2021, Plum in Cognac from the house of Scents of Wood which is a house you definitely have to
explore. Speaking of explore, how about exploring not only Scents of Wood but other 28 brands that are

memorable event that's going to happen on December 4th 2021, see you there. The fifth on the
list is going to be a fragrance that was love at first sniff for me and this fragrance house is
one that i highly speak of because over the last from 2018 and on it's been a great love of mine
one of my top five niche fragrance discoveries over the past five years that i absolutely love
everything they put out because it's quality from the presentation to the scents themselves
the fragrance i'm talking about is from the house of Amouroud and the scent is Santal des Indes,
a lot of people don't know about this fragrance and this was my first experience with Amouroud, at Esxense
a fragrance convention, i tried this fragrance and i fell in love with it right off
the bet and this is a gorgeous sandalwood scent, translating this is going to be indian sandalwood,
so it's mysore sandalwood which is the best kind you can possibly acquire along with this
gorgeous boozy absinthe note, this stuff here is intriguing, it's mysterious, it's powerful, and it's
definitely sensual, so guys don't snooze, Amouroud is a great brand that deserves your attention
it is one of those brands that fly right under the radar that has some incredible hidden gems that
i've discovered over the past few years. Next up we have a fragrance from Nishane which is a Turkish
house this is an absolutely stunning scent gorgeous fragrance if you haven't tried you're
missing out big time this is Nishane Fan your Flames, this is a gorgeous fragrance that features
spiced rum with tobacco and gourmandi facets and the gourmandi facets i'm talking about here are going to
be comprised of tonka beans and a creamy coconut in the heart, at the base you have a gorgeous cedar
along with oak moss which adds this nice green and classy vibe to the scent, Fan your Flames
at the fourth spot. At the third position here this is a fragrance that is definitely in my top five
Tom Fords of all time, it's currently discontinued but you can still find it out there fairly easy and
from what i hear from the sources i hear from Tom Ford this fragrance is going to be ported into the
signature line in the next month or so, so you're going to be able to find it not only you'll find
it but you'll find it for a more affordable price, of course Tobacco Oud as the name implies tobacco,
oud, whiskey, resins and spices, a powerhouse bold ceo type of a scent, if you want to smell bold
and powerful, Tobacco Oud is the way to go. At the second spot this fragrance was my favorite
boozy fragrance for many many years featured in many top lists and it's still one of my
favorites but it lost the spot for another one that is currently my favorite boozy fragrance
at the moment, this fragrance here you guys know about it i'm sure, Roja Parfums Enigma
or otherwise known as Creation E, it's going to be a boozy with cognac leathery ginger spices resins and
tobacco, it's absolutely intoxicating, a room filling, in fact this one and the other one coming up
are no joke, and Tobacco Oud as well, so these three are very bold and powerful, if you like
beast-like fragrances that are boozy as well, any one of these three will be great for you
and this one here is definitely one of my favorite boozy fragrances of all time. All right guys, what
could be number one? if you follow this channel if you know my taste and i've actually reviewed this
fragrance for you guys, i'll pop it up here if you guys missed the review where i go in depth
on this fragrance, this is to me right now the best cognac, powerful, bold,
boss type of a fragrance in a bottle you can possibly find right now,
this fragrance we're talking about is going to be the Amouage Overture, i think this was released
last year, not as easy to find as some of the other Amouages but i think you can now start to find
a little bit easier here in America because now it's starting to get easily
distributed here in America and i think at Nordstrom you could find this fragrance,
it's got cognac, spices, leather and myrrh, the myrrh gives the fragrance a nice intriguing mysterious smokiness,
the cognac is boozy, it's room filling, it's powerful, then you have the gorgeous leather
facet, this stuff here is amazing, as good as it gets, a boozy fragrance, powerful and bold Overture Man,
one of the best money can buy today. Did i miss any fragrances on this list that you guys love?
