welcome back everyone i'm max forti today we're going to be talking about some fragrances that are
upcoming releases of the most prestigious houses this is going to be like a fragrance news type of
thing which i shared with you last month talking about the upcoming releases of some of these
brands that are mostly looking forward to trying and this is going to be like a first thoughts
kind of things and then eventually i'll give you guys the first impressions or reviews in the
upcoming months so without any further ado guys let's hop into these fragrances
today we have a few new releases that we're going to talk about two from Dunhill one from Tom Ford
private blends one from Victor and Rolf from the Spice Bomb line of fragrances
one from Azzaro and one from Ralph Lauren so guys brace yourself let's hop into these
fragrances. First fragrance we're going to talk about is Azzaro this is going to be one called
Cologne Intense now as we've seen lately this year so far in the first quarter most designer releases
have been eau de parfum - edp flankers or cologne intense it's something that most designer
brands are really gravitating towards their releases this year and this one here is no
different it's called Azzaro Pour Homme Cologne Intense and from the note breakdown it's pretty
much lime up top with lavender barbershop is what comes to mind and then this mastic
note in the base now mastic could be a combination of different things which mostly it's going to be
like a coniferous/galbanum or green kind of a nuance what i'm thinking this fragrance is going to
be it's going to be a modernized version of a fougere like a fresh fougere if you will so i love fougere
fragrances so i'm definitely looking forward to this one you guys if you follow this channel for
any length of time you know i love my fougeres especially the Azzaro Pour Homme the original from
1978. so this one here has me really you know my interest is very perked really peaked because i
think it could be a really nice release as i see a lot of companies also gravitating towards
original takes or modernized versions of fougeres or old school type scents
so i'm thinking this is going to be a really good one and the latest we've seen from Azzaro which
was that essence collection which we had the mint the ginger lover one and all those fragrances that
we talked about heavily here in the community last year i have really good feelings about
Azzaro is in a good you know streak of good releases even though they're
not very expensive these are cheapies that are definitely goodies so high hopes for this one.
Next up we're going to talk about highlight the icon series from dunhill is one that i absolutely love
elite is great absolute's fantastic the original icon is really nice vetiver you know floral fruity
type of scent very mature very well put together sophisticated all in all this whole
icon series actually pretty good value even when you look at icon racing green which is kind of
like what this is like it's like a sub line of a collection you know the icon series and you had
the icon racing this is going to be icon racing red and icon racing blue so the icon racing green
which was the first one in this collection here is going to be a fragrance that's very similar to
paco rabanne invictus aqua from 2016. what i love about icon racing green is because it amplifies
the minty note up top which makes it really more exciting invigorating and refreshing than
Paco Rabanne Invictus Aqua was, still long lasting very very similar like they could be brothers
or cousins in the same scent profile now red and blue are very interesting in the sense that the
notes here are a little bit different but i think they're going to be borrowing elements and perhaps
giving each one of these scents a little different facet from the note breakdown here looking at the
blue icon racing blue it's going to be more of a marine/aquatic type of a scent or blue type
of a scent you're going to have the ambroxan sea salt or some marine notes in there some spices
as well some woods but because of that marine note the ambergris and the sea salt i'm thinking it's
going to be more of an aquatic kind of a scent like a blue style scent which could be quite good
especially if it's long lasting and powerful could be a great great other addition to the
uh the icon series. Now looking at the red icon racing red it looks like it's going in towards
a totally different more spicier woody spicy kind of direction we're talking about solar notes
pimento note frankincense vetiver some really darker or stronger notes here you know spicier
notes like the red pimento that's added on here the frankincense there's oak moss in the base
so this one here from all the you know the notes that i'm reading here is
definitely the one that's picking my interest the most i think you know dunhill icon racing
red is definitely going to be one that i really want to check out because it has more of that
darker and stronger facet that i come to appreciate more in fragrances rather than
your blue run-of-the-mill freshies out there but i think both could actually be quite
good releases that i'm really looking forward to checking it out trying and sharing with you
guys in the next few weeks to come. Now Ralph Lauren is always very known to do
flankers every year in the polo collection which is really their more predominant or top selling
line of fragrances and this particular one Polo Cologne Intense just like Azzaro Cologne Intense
this one's gonna follow suit to the designer like i talked about cologne intense releases now from
their latest flankers in the polo collection i haven't really been impressed by anything that
polo has put out since the red extreme and red intense i think those were really good ones especially red
extreme from the polo collection was quite a good one but since then there hasn't really been any
Polo fragrance that really caught my attention worth really talking or mentioning the top video
this particular one though has me really curious because again it's a cologne intense
variation of the original polo green which i absolutely love so i'm thinking this perhaps could
be something really great and and worth bragging home about the last great polo green
variant was the polo green special reserve from 2008 which has been discontinued and it was
an extremely great release which i do own a bottle and if this is any indication if this release is
any close to that particular fragrance you know special reserve we could be on to a really good
potentially one of the best designer releases of 2021. The notes actually look pretty
good you have violet leaf you have some herbal components the only thing that has me a little bit
worried and scratching my head a little bit is the use of ambroxen whenever i see the word ambroxen
or amber wood nowadays it just for the most part is just more of the same i'm hoping
that you know hoping against hope here that this could actually be something that i will
be wrong completely wrong and this will actually be a good release again if it's any close to
special reserve from 2008 this could be a really good one and actually the fragrance i was talking
about was not special reserve it was called modern reserve from 2008 guys this is an extremely
great release from polo green again this is going to be a variation of the polo greens
polo green cologne intense so if it's any close to this one here i'm going to be a very happy
camper. Spice Bomb has a new flanker you from victor and rolf and this particular one is going
to be called infrared which has a gradient color the bottle is going to be dark black gradient
to red which is really good i love the color red the bottle itself looks great and the note
breakdown actually looks pretty interesting the notes guys look absolutely fire we're
talking habanero chili pepper we're talking dried fruits cinnamon and tobacco as well as benzoin so
if the notes are constructed correctly if they're executed properly this fragrance
could be an absolute stunning juice i mean i love tobacco my fragrances from the red fruits
the chili pepper what comes to mind here and i would be ecstatic if this fragrance is close to
is pure chili which is really called a taste of fragrance from mugler which has been
discontinued now for years this fragrance here from the note breakdown looks like it could be
very similar to that particular fragrance from Mugler plus the tobacco so
really really high hopes for this one i think from everything that i've been talking about so far
this is one that got me the most excited for so guys infrared from victor and Rolf spicebomb
infrared is one that i'm really hoping it's gonna be a great release. Let me know in the comments if
you guys are equally as excited as i am for this release and tom ford private bland is back at it
again as every year with another flanker this particular one is the third installment of the
soleil collection you know previously we had soleil neige and we had soleil blanc
now we have soleil brulant which is going to be translating to english scorching sun so
from the note breakdown this perhaps is going to be my favorite as i thought the previous two
were more feminine soleil blanc has this beautiful coconut suntan lotion kind of a vibe and
soleil neige i haven't really tried but this particular one here has me really curious due to the note
breakdown it's got vetiver it has this solar note got some orange, mandarin oranges
frankincense so from the note breakdown it seems like it's going to be a dark and resinous kind of
contribution from tom ford which i absolutely love when it comes to private blend i think of powerful
long powerful projection kind of fragrances that are very unique and very creative
and this one here has me really at hollow pretty much from what i understand here looking at the
note breakdown it's going to start with this solar note pink pepper bergamot some citruses in orange
then as you get into the heart and into the dry that looks like the fragrance is going to
take a turn for the darker more resinous type of a scent and the notes that really got me curious
here and very excited about are black honey resins like labdanum, frankincense
vetiver and leather so the bottle looks amazing i love this golden shiny kind
of a bottle and the notes are just fire and again just like spice bomb if the notes are put together
very nicely i think this perhaps could potentially be one of the best tom ford private blends
we've seen in a while. So there you have it ladies and gentlemen that's it for me the
top six fragrances that i'm really looking forward to checking out and sharing with you
in the next few weeks to come these are fragrances that i'm looking very vividly now
