what's happening everyone welcome to another video this is Max Forti and today what i got for you is
my top 10 picks for spring 2021 designers guys if you want to know some incredible fragrances
for you to up your game this springtime stick around the picks are up right now
Welcome back to another video let's talk about spring. Spring is right around the corner
at the time i'm shooting this video it's actually a week away from forwarding
our clocks which will happen March 14th and then a week after that spring is actually officially
here so i want to share with you guys as i do every year my 10 picks for designers and then
of course subsequently i'm going to share with you guys some affordable choices and of course
my top niche choices which are a little bit more expensive a little bit more intricate but
today it's all about designers so without any further ado let's hop right into the choices
coming in at number 10 it's going to be a pick from the house of Mont Blanc and it's not going
to be Individuel it's going to be rather a fragrance that has a very cult following
if you will from the niche side of things and the fragrance i'm talking about is going to be
Explorer now this fragrance for those of you that follow the fragrance community or if you
haven't followed the fragrance community i'm going to tell you exactly what this smells like
this is very similar to a $500 fragrance called Creed Aventus it's very fruity it's very citruses
up top with like this pineapple bergamot lemons kind of a vibe, the dry down is a little bit musky
and woody if you're one of those people that love to get compliments, if you love unsolicited
compliments this is definitely going to be one of the top ones in this list to do that guys so
Montblanc Explorer at the 10th spot, the reason why i have it at the number 10 spot is because i have
Creed Aventus i have a lot of fragrances within this genre so because of the cost proposition and
the performance of the fragrance and how it smells i think it's really nice for the spring
but because Aventus has been around since 2010 now it's something that i wear but
not as much as used to so at the number 10 spot Montblanc Explorer. As you're
going to notice here in the top picks here there's going to be a commonality in the note of florals
i don't really love florals but in the springtime as of late i've been really you know
gravitating towards floral fragrances and the florals i'm talking about are going to be jasmine
rose violet and iris of course which is one of my favorite floral notes and this particular
fragrance here at the ninth spot is going to be Givenchy Gentlemen I love this fragrance this is
citruses with a gorgeous note of iris in the middle and some woods at the base really nice
not very strong great for the warm weather it's going to be good for those days they're a little
bit chilly out i love this fragrance it smells so good the iris infusion here it just makes it so
good it's really a citrus aromatic with woods in a base like cedar there's a little bit of
spicy nuance up top but really the iris floral heart is the star player
of this fragrance great stuff you can find this readily available for a really good price and one
that's one of the superstars in my rotation in the springtime and i'm really looking forward to rock
this year. Speaking of floral notes here's another one this is going to be Cartier D'un Soir
this particular fragrance Declaration D'un Soir is a gorgeous rose base scent guys if
you love rose fragrances you're going to love this stuff it's a little bit creamy there's sandalwood
in here a blast of cardamom and pepper up top it smells of niche quality when i smell this
fragrance what comes to mind is a high-end niche fragrance for a very affordable price
it's not cheap but it's quite affordable i think you can get a bottle like this, this is actually a
tester bottle i think you can get these for like 40 bucks for this is going to be a 100ml so
great stuff amazing smells great it's not going to be an amazing complement getter but i think
because it's going to sit a little closer to the skin it doesn't have like the beast projection
this is an eau de toillete but i'm telling you guys smell for smell itself it just smells amazing
guys niche quality right here another brand that i always talk to you guys about that's
very underrated and this is a very underrated fragrance that you guys should definitely
consider checking out. The seventh spot we have a fragrance house that doesn't get much play here on
youtube or in the fragrance community this is going to be from Comme Des Garçons a French company
and this is going to be Floriental now this fragrance here is going to be a spicy floral plum
smells absolutely heavenly another one that has very niche quality to it if you guys enjoy the
note of fruity plum with florals and a little bit of a woody base this stuff here is going
to blow your mind i think there's a little bit of an incense action here some labdenum which
adds some green nuances to the fragrance what this reminds me of it's a lighter version of Tom Ford's
discontinued Plum Japonais so if you love plum spicy fragrances check this out it's got a lot
of florals in the heart as well but it smells like a million bucks. One thing that i like to
consider especially for the hot days it's like a transitional period for myself here you know
the time that i wear my fragrances i gravitate towards freshies with a little bit of a backbone
because it's not as hot as it gets in the summertime you have some colder cooler days in
the springtime but for those warmer days i have a fragrance here that has everything i look forward
in a hot weather type of scent it's invigorating it's refreshing it's fruity it's a
little bit aquatic some florals it smells amazing from the house of Bentley which is my favorite car
fragrance brand this is going to be Silver Lake i have a full review on this fragrance i'll pop
it up here if you guys want to know more in depth about this fragrance and what this
fragrance is guys it's a very similar fragrance to Acqua di Gio Essenza which has now been discontinued
so needless to say it smells amazing another compliment puller fragrance it's going to get you
very positive notices it smell fresh refreshing fruity little florals this is a more floral
take on Acqua Di Gio Essenza but it smells like 85% to it for an amazing price guys this could
have easily made the top 10 affordable spring but i'm going to be rocking the hell out
of this fragrance this year so that's why i have it on the 6th spot from this designer list guys
check this out it's going to blow your mind. At the 5th spot is a fragrance that has been discontinued
it was originally released in 2014 but now there's an abundance of this fragrance at fragrancebuy.ca
so if you guys want to check this fragrance out this would be the time because i've seen this on
amazon and ebay for two to three hundred bucks for 100ml like the one i'm gonna show you guys so
this is why i'm bringing it back to my rotation because now it can easily be found i actually
bought a few backup bottles for myself this is Dior Homme Eau which is a lighter watery iris take
on this particular fragrance if you're familiar with Dior Homme from 2005 if you're familiar with
Dior Homme Intense which is a lot more darker version of cocoa patchouli very heavy spices with
that fragrance Dior Homme itself had a very strong iris cocoa like patchouli vibe this one here tones
things down a bit emphasizes the floral note of the iris with a little bit of a violet leaf
it's really nice it's a little bit watery very aromatic smells like a million bucks in fact
this is going to be my scent of the day and i wanted to share something with you guys as well you guys
are always ask me about my shirt my my jackets so i want to share with you guys today
the shirt that i'm actually rocking today which is from into the AM guys definitely check this brand
out the reason why i love these shirts guys into the AM is because of three reasons they're ultra soft
they can torch your body perfectly they make you feel amazing it's like you're not wearing anything
they don't shrink and the price is incredible i have a coupon code for you guys i think for
10% off which i'll have a link below for you guys it'll also appear here so if you guys

later and of course there's one on top for you guys with the details below you'll be able to

At the 4th spot it's yet another i think discontinued fragrance but you can easily find this out there
it's still available at discounters so like i said all the links below for you guys
i'm not going to give you something that you can't find this particular one if you like a clean soapy
very crisp a little bit powdery in a dry down type of a fragrance very floral in the heart you guys
will absolutely fall in love with this this stuff here is elegant sophistication and very classy
type of a fragrance this is Prada Amber Pour Homme. Prada L'homme eat your heart out this stuff here is
amazing i love this fragrance and i haven't worn this fragrance in quite a while i think it was
originally released in 2009 if i'm not mistaken and it just smells so good it's got this really
very uncanny and very unique kind of a heart with the florals it's got a little bit of a
spicy up top i think there's like pink pepper up top and the base there's this beautiful sandalwood
with florals that makes it almost powdery but very clean very crisp very much great quality
very refined type of a fragrance just like we know Prada does it's going to be present here it's
almost like a very Chanel-esque type of a vibe that i get with this fragrance absolutely stunning
composition from Prada guys definitely great for the springtime. At the third spot from Dolce &
Gabbana from the THE ONE Collection i would go as far as saying that this is going to be the most
criminally underrated i should say from the The one Collection it is my favorite and of
course this is Dolce Gabbana The one Gentleman i did a review for you guys i'll pop it up here
this is the forgotten the one it smells absolutely incredible this is a floral creamy spicy patchouli
type of a fragrance it smells so good it's got this old world classic vibe to it with a modern touch
it's another one that smells very much like a niche fragrance if you like Lidge L'instant eau Extreme from Guerlain
it has a very familiar patchouli with the orange mandarin orange up top smells like a
million bucks other notes featured here are going to be cypress which adds this creamy green nuance
the fragrance of course the patchouli and a little bit of a vanilla in the base that adds the sweetness to
the fragrance i would say this is a modern day classic guys discontinued still available get
it while you can great for spring this is to me a perfect quintessential spring type of a scent thank
goodness i have a couple bottles these are 30ml you can easily find it out there get it before they're
gone because this is going to be a cult following type of fragrance that i can see fetching a lot of
money in the next year or two at the second spot is a fragrance that hasn't really been featured
over the past couple of years i kind of like stopped wearing this fragrance but i revisited
a few weeks ago and i fell in love all over again this particular fragrance definitely one of the
best masculine floral fragrances ever made it's a masterpiece in my opinion i've talked about this
fragrance many years ago you can definitely check out my older top videos you're gonna see this as
number one number two for many years and this year is gonna be number 2 this is Kenzo Power from
the house of Kenzo Parfums this is absolutely stunning it's a melange of florals with spices
it's a little bit powdery as it gets to dry down but it's got this really nice juicy fruity
floral type of nuance i think ladies could actually wear this fragrance but it has
some woods in here that makes it very masculine in my opinion but like i said a woman can also pull
this off but one thing is for sure it smells very unique and just amazing there's nothing like this
fragrance out there, there's definitely some spices that get some cinnamon here perhaps some nutmeg
you've got the floral melange which which we're talking about lily the valley jasmine violet
of course iris so there's like a whole bunch of florals in the heart of this fragrance and in
the base you get the woods that really support the composition along with the fruity spicy
introduction it smells incredible guys like i said masterpiece in a bottle check this out
I don't know if it's discontinued or not but it's still available it was released i think in 2008
just a perfect spring scent if you're looking for one definitely consider this one you're gonna
smell no one's gonna smell like you. Speaking of masterpieces and hidden gems this particular one
is my number one this year well first of all what do you guys think is my number one pick? i want you
guys to drop it in the comments right now before i reveal it to you this is going to be kind of like
a hidden gem in the community it's definitely a masterpiece the nose behind this fragrance is Dominic
Ropion and i reviewed this fragrance for you guys back in 2014. i'll pop it up here if you guys
want to check out the review in depth so you can really understand what this fragrance is all about
but all in all it's going to be a woody spicy fragrance which normally i like to
wear in the fall and winter but this particular fragrance starts off with an absolute amazing
grapefruit and cardamom opening which is very very invigorating and very inspiring i'm talking about
Costume National Homme this stuff here is just amazing i'm really trying to get the new Costume National
Parfum this is an edp but there's a new composition with a darker bottle darker juice that
came out i think last year or early this year i can't really get a bottle but as soon as i can
i'm definitely going to be purchasing it because i can't wait to try i love this stuff so much
i think if they amp some of the things that from the notes that i read and i actually shared that
with you guys in one of my videos talking about what i expect to find with the new you Homme Parfum
but this stuff here is just unbelievable it starts off with this gorgeous grapefruit and
cardamom up top the mid again very niche like you have this gorgeous sandalwood that's
supported by a whole bunch of spices we're talking cinnamon cloves nutmeg it's very spicy it's very
creamy as well there's nothing that smells like this. This is very powerful this is something that
you don't need more than two to three sprays it's going to last the whole day trust me especially if
you like to spray your clothes like me it's going to have an amazing syage projection like beast
ust an incredible scent very unique to give you guys a little bit of a understanding of this
fragrance if you like patchouli base scents the patchouli is very heavy here in the base
think of Coromandel from Chanel but instead of the creamy cocoa vibe that you get
with the white chocolate it goes into a more sharper direction along with those spices and
and sharper woody undertones i think there's even vetiver in here smells incredible
that's all i can say one word to summarize this: masterpiece. Definitely check this out this is
one of those you must at least try to appreciate this fragrances, it's niche quality through and through
