what's going on everyone Max Forti again with another video today we're going to
be talking about the finest fragrance or the top picks from January 2021. This is the first
in this channel so basically some people do like weekly rotations i'm basically going to show you
i do keep tabs so these are the fragrances that I wore the most in the month of January 202,
and since we're right in the middle of February 2021, I wanted to share with you my top picks from
January that I think you guys should definitely know about. These are amazing fragrances
that if you guys haven't tried out yet or if you haven't heard of them you really should know about
these fragrances. So if you want to know what they are stick around the video is up next ;)
Welcome back to another video I am Max Forti and today we're going to talk about
my top fragrance picks from January 2021. Sure I do keep a spreadsheet on all my fragrances
since I'm always testing and trying things and reviewing them for you guys I do want to know how
often I wear them what kind of feedback I get from them what kind of compliments I get from them so
it's good to keep tally so that way I keep you guys on the 100%, I keep you guys on
the information exactly what these fragrances give you or what they may or may not give you,
if they're like great releases or not, needless to say, it is great to keep tabs for myself also to
keep myself organized when I want to convey the message to you guys and what I get out of the
fragrances that I'm reviewing or sharing with you guys. So without any further ado let's hop into
the choices of the best fragrances that I wore the most in the month of January, I wore them for
at least three to four times per week so whether it was for work, for running errands,
for evening wear casual, these were the ones that I picked out the most and keep in mind that where
I live New England-New York area it's very cold so we're talking about low teens to sometimes
even below zero Fahrenheit which is very very cold when you're looking at Celsius so needless
to say these are going to be great for this time of the year, cozy, warm, elegant sophisticated,
the type of fragrances that I like to wear and share with you guys. So the first pick here is
going to be this particular fragrance which is in my opinion the best from the Stronger with
You Emporio Armani Collection this is Stronger with You Leather I recently reviewed this for
you guys and it's basically keeping the DNA from this particular collection, that ambery, sweet,
vanilla, tonka kind of a dry down along with that roasted chestnut kind of a vibe it's nutty
it's sweet it's gormand it's really nice great one with that leather accord, that suede leather
accord, it really made a good release for me. I think right now as it stands it's my favorite
from the line I do want to try the Stronger with You Absolutely as soon as I can get a hold of that
fragrance I'll be reviewing that. First testing trying it and then reviewing with you guys. From
what I hear though from the people that actually told me they tried, that fragrance is a little bit
of a disappointment, the boozy facet with the rum is not as predominant as they would like it to be,
but anyway it remains to be seen, as soon as I can get one I will definitely review it for you
guys. But this is a great one that I wore in January Stronger with You Leather - definitely
my favorite from the Emporio Armani Stronger with you lineup of fragrance. The next one here
is going to be one that I wore a lot for work and this is going to be Tom Ford Beau de Jour,
for those of you who don't know it's going to be a fragrance that was ported from the private blend
into the signature collection which is something that Tom Ford is doing very regularly now,
the next one that they released from the Private Blend into the signature line was Costa Azzura and
from what I hear sometime in the fall this year they'll be doing the same thing with Tom Ford's
Tobacco Oud which has been recently discontinued from the Oud collection which they pretty much
only kept Wood Oud so now Tom Ford Tobacco Oud should be releasing in one of these bottles
come fall this year, fingers crossed that's what I hear from the the people in the Tom Ford
collection line, some people that I talked to. So anyway Beau de Jour is going to be a great
fragrance that is more or less like a barbershop with patchouli vanilla and mint. The mint here is
really predominant i love the modern take on this fougere - barbershop feel type of a fragrance,
it's got this old world refinement and high quality to it but it's definitely a great one.
If you want to convey a very professional elegant and sophisticated vibe about yourself when you
"you're putting your best foot forward" I think this is a great one, it's definitely featured in
my top professional fragrances video, one that I wore a lot for meetings for work professional
environment. I definitely highly suggest you guys picking up a bottle if you can't get a bottle at
least get a decant and get a feel for this. This is not going to be for everyone, again it's going
to be more of an old school type of a vibe but I love the modern twists and this fragrance is
definitely one of my favorites from 2021 thus far. Next up is going to be a leather base fragrance
which I absolutely love leather fragrances in the cold weather and since we're still in the winter
time there's still another month and a half or so before spring rolls around, so this is one that I
absolutely love and reminds me of Belami, this is a modern twist of Belami from Hermes
and of course the fragrance that I shared with you and spoke very highly about is Salvatore Ferragamo
Oud Pour homme or Pour Homme Oud. This fragrance here should have been called
Leather Pour Homme because it is mostly a leather fragrance it's got some sweet facets to it so
just like I shared with you guys Cartier Pasha Parfum last year which I do love because it
has that modern vibe to it but also borrow elements from the classic fougere fragrances,
this does the same thing, it has a little bit of a fougere vibe along with that beautiful leather
that I'm talking about some spices some creaminess, it's a little bit
animalistic as well I love this. If you like Belami and you miss the vintage formulations
of Belami, you wanted something a little bit more modern definitely pick this one up, this to me is
a modern day classic a masterpiece from Salvatore Ferragamo, definitely a hidden gem that I shared
with you guys last year and a lot of you came back and said "Max thanks for bringing this up to our
attention because it is a really fine fragrance" and that's what I would call this a very
refined fragrance, great for everyday use for a signature scent it is actually quite versatile
even though it's got the leather it's got some stronger components it is actually a fragrance
that you can wear every day as a signature scent as a work scent, it's a jack of all trades type
of scent. The next one here speaking of leather is another one that I absolutely love from the house
of Penhaligons which I love I think they're class personified in the bottles and this particular
fragrance here of course we're talking about Halfeti Leather, if you love Halfeti this is
going to be a plum and leather infusion Halfeti which is also a tremendous oud type of fragrance
and what this reminds me of, I've shared this with you guys last year I talked about it highly and
it is one that I really reached out for a lot in January of 2021 because it reminds me of Bond n9
Andy Warholl, it reminds me of Plum Japoneis from Tom Ford and also it's long lasting, it smells
really sophisticated, it smells really scrumptious with that plum accord I love this fragrance
I think it's tremendously well done this is a high quality niche this is what I expect from niche
companies quality performance uniqueness this has it all guys Penhaligons Halfeti Leather is amazing
check this out if you can they're not very cheap but I'm telling you it is very worth your time
guys if you haven't checked this out definitely consider checking it out get a decant try it,
you're not going to disappoint, you're not going to regret. And last but not least another one that
I absolutely love and wore a lot this past month is a fragrance that I consider to be a great one
for professional encounters for occasions that you want to be a little bit dressier,
it's got a lot of great components here that I love it's got this leathery facet it's spicy it
has a beautiful vetiver note which you guys know I love vetiver in my fragrance it's got cloves
some spices here, of course there's oud in here as well it's really conducive of the colder weather
although it's a little bit versatile as well, you can wear all year round as long as you control
the sprays and I'm talking about from the House of SIllage, this is called Dignified, it's got
this little thing here to open it up and to spray it. This smells just heavenly it's a great scent,
my wife loves this fragrance on me, people around me always enjoy when I wear this , I
always get positive compliments, sometimes unsolicited compliments which is great. The
House of Sillage is a fragrance house that doesn't get much talks here in the fragrance community
and Dignified is one that is my favorite from this collection from the House of Sillage,
the masculine line of fragrances and one that I highly recommend you guys checking out it's got
everything I love, the performance is great, it pushes really hard, the projection is really good,
the longevity is quite good, the sillage is amazing if you spray your clothes like myself it's
going to last the whole day it's going to give you a nice scent bubble, like I said you're going to
be noticed and smell heavenly good guys. Check it out if you haven't heard of this fragrance
definitely worth checking out. The zero zero one from the House of Sillage is also really good
if you like tobacco sweet scents. But i like this one the best I think that vetiver with the leather
the spices and the oud just blended to perfection it's got this really classy sophisticated
vibe. So guys those are my top picks for January 2021, these five fragrances I wore the most,
of course I tried a lot of fragrances, I'm always trying things to review for you guys
but these five were like my go-to's when it comes to work when it comes to professional settings
when it came to night wear, of course we're not doing much of the social thing right now,
we're under the pandemic but it's getting a little better and like I said these are the
five fragrances that I wore the most of January 2021. Let me know in the comments which three
or five fragrances you guys are reaching out for the most at this point maybe you live somewhere
