Niche Fragrance Haul January 2012 (Part 4)

[calvin0416ny]

When marc smells Pardon, I can see a rageface screaming FFFUUUUU Miguel

[calvin0416ny]

I think Miguel owe you 300 bucks for Duro and Pardon ;) and another 100 for Puredistance M.

[surgeyX]

Hi, can I ask what kind of watch that is? I really like it. Thanks.

[robes08]

@surgeyX Armani, it`s from the ceramic line ! and thank you for the compliment

[ISPFILM]

Couldn't agree more on the Editions Rare line... Ambrarem is the clear GORGEOUS winner in this exclusive line. (Petroleum now smells to me like fixing chemical for dissectables... as in fetal pigs, etc.  Odd and interesting; not beautiful.)

[byrontessman]

hey marc, I wanna know what kind of watch you're wearing in this vid. its pretty sweet.

[robes08]

@byrontessman it`s armani, from the ceramic line.

[byrontessman]

@robes08 Thanks, I might have to pick that one up!

[JmeJ83]

Is it only me that feels a little bit disappointed after all the hype at the beginning of January? Big changes... High Def... step up the fragrance game....

The return of the guru was 23days ago.. and so far not a single review!!

I'm all for a good haul video, but 2 MASSIVE hauls split in to 7or 8 videos, each like 10 minutes long is just too much!!!

Won't be long till he jumps back on a plane either.

Was really looking forward to some reviews :'(

[dracdoc]

Now THIS is the vid I was looking for.. haha.. great vid man! Going to definetly try the Ambrarem

[magnetrio]

where is the next video ? :o

[garryray1000]

Really enjoying your videos,I'm just getting started in fragrances.

[VikingShaver]

May I ask you honestly, do you have any idea of the number if Designer and Niche frags yu have in your collection now ?

Are we talking 250+ Designer frags and 100+ niche frags or what :)

Just curious - I'm just at the beginning of my own collection, only have 102 Designers and 10 niche frags so still have a long way to go. I feel it takes a really good designer now for me to even consider it having 102 designers (Yes, I just counted them ;) ) Btw what's your fav NHL team ? Claus from Denmark

[jreily88]

@VikingShaver

He has well over 600 fragrances in his collection now. As far as how many of each (niche and designer) I don't know.

[XLiq]

Smell all Les Exclusifs by Chanel and walk away without buying one?

Amazing!! I bought Coromandel / Sycomore / Rue Cambon / Bois des Iles.

And Cuir de Russie still keeps screaming "buy me"!

[rickysalsero]

Nice Marc..Ambrarem looks like a winner. got into there sight and checked it out, will possibly blind buy this one...my take is a little different on the Nasomatto " Duro" at the first whiff i was blown away with the strength of the woods, then again ive been sniffing for 6 months so you nose is more acute,,i had never smelled anything like this, its kind of animalistic, projects like a beast and i have been complimented numerous times, but hey thanks for your insight on these rare fragrances.

[calvin0416ny]

Learnt something today. The word sillage is actually french therefore it's not pronounced like village with an s. It's actually pronounced "sea-arge"

[wackorules]

@calvin0416ny you're perfectly right! That would make him forget about fashion stuff! :D

[calvin0416ny]

Hey Marc I read the comments of your sample haul video featuring Black Afgano and one of the reader said that it's a very common, cheap scent in the muslim world. Have you consider sniffing scents from places outside of france/italy/us

[wackorules]

@creatiopoetic dude, it's only an expression to show up that he must improve his sense of style! Forget it...:)

[SKYLINEMAXIMA]

Robes. Ur videos are awesome, had to subscribe! For 5 years I've been searching for this scent, have no idea of the name, just know it by smell. I don't have the words to describe the scent except "Old Spice Denali bodywash in hot water" (don't judge me)lol. Can u guide me to colognes that smell similar? Thanks if u can help, great channel.

[wagsbass]

dude you have to check out Agonist Parfum from Sweden, they have the most unique bottles in perfumery

[1xraydoc]

It is nice to hear the correct pronunciations! Most others butcher them...the one benefit if being Canadian...your exposed to the French language...Relax--just joking.

[jmolpeceres]

Marc, don´t you think Nassomatto fragrances are too expensive for what it offers?

[wackorules]

You ROCK, dude!!! You're the best in fragrance stuff, but you do need a stylist! Don't get me wrong, you're still the best! An outfit doesn't mean only matching colours, it's also about how the pieces blend together in terms of colour, style, tailoring and how they stay on your body. Take it from a design student! :)

[Creatiopoetic]

@wackorules if people start getting personal stylists for youtube vids..shoot me now

[calvin0416ny]

@wackorules I think he should make a fragrance guru T-Shirt like street scents and not having to worry about what he wears in his video.

[ThouShaltNotDefy]

Marc, you're a legend.

[MikeNY911]

Great video! Glad to see one of my favorites, Odori Tabacco, getting some hype. I call Pure Havane for those with chest hair. Lol. Great stuff here.

[notreveh]

Glad to see that Marc isn't in the "wow, this smells awesome!" group, when talking about Nasomatto.

[danforz]

You know what I think of the Dior exclusive line. Curious what your take was on the others?

[mrjoestrikesagain]

nice job Marc. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Invasion Barbare.

[chidoiguan]

That Dior is so wonderfuly dirty, and yet so elegant. Is one of those things where one needs to "had come a long way" in order to apreciate such a master piece!

[Daveman57by28mm]

Man I wish I could afford all of these . . . Nah one and done, I gotta stick to tha designers lol

[13sneezy13]

I went fragrance shopping a couple of weeks ago and ended up purchasing 1828 by HDP. A really cool house and great to see you shining some light on HDP.

[S24995]

You're doing us a great service. Most guys will hear Petroleum, sample that, and pass over something called Ambrarem, or they might fall for the hype machine of Pardon and blind buy it. You're probably saving a lot of people a lot of cash.

[stlz07ruby]

Haha, "pretty decent"? For the price it better be more than just decent.

[RochasMan702]

Absolutely cannot wait to hear your thoughts on Invasion Barbare!

[VikingShaver]

Nice job as usual :)

I would recommend you tested a cheap niche/designer frag from caron soon - Yatagan.

Do you dare test that ?

Looking forward to your opinion if you ever get to test this wild crazy fragrance from Caron.

You also should test Thrid man, Caron PH and L'Anarchiste. But please start with Yatagan, if you dare .... he...he

Regards

Claus from Denmark

[robes08]

@VikingShaver I'll be Yatagan ready, I hear the horror stories but I can take it

[DJFay721]

Marc! been watching your vids for a long time, and i love what you do. but i gotta say, PARDON BLOWS MY MIND! lol what would you recommend as a better, similar alternative for the money? i gotta know, cause i'm considering buying a full bottle of this

[robes08]

@DJFay721 if it blows your mind then it's worth it to you. All the nasomatto's do great in proj and long, so that's a big plus. L'instant de guerlain is a good substitute at a huge discount and it's pretty potent itself

[DJFay721]

@robes08 i know you have a massive collection, and since you're not incredibly thrilled about it, would you be interested in selling it?

[robes08]

@DJFay721 I just got it ! plus I'm a collector , can't finish up buying up the whole line with it missing

[BlackDreadBoy]

Fuel For Life of Black XS? Im 24

[sirmuhammadpatel]

@BlackDreadBoy Black Xs

[robes08]

@BlackDreadBoy both good picks

[HollowAgito]

vive montreal tabarnak

[andoich]

i agree with Guinea. it'd be awesome to hear what you think of r'oud elements, copper skies, and creature. I really want to test them out for myself

[Guinea54]

really cool to hear your opinion on the hiro hypes lol. I would love to see your take on the house of keroseen.

[warriordiscus7]

Awesome vid, Marc! I've been looking at getting leather oud, very manly stuff, that's for sure.

[CanwllCorfe615]

Hey Marc! Just letting you know my birthday is June 15th.

[wagsbass]

@CanwllCorfe615 lol

[escobarstatus]

Geez not one part of that outfit matches.....I guess have good taste doesn't translate to having good taste in fashion

[robes08]

@escobarstatus yea wtf was i thinking wearing that purple shirt with that tie with purple accents, i can't match

[RedRaider8493]

@escobarstatus Bro he is fresh as fuck. I don't know what you are looking at. A dressy vest goes with everything so that nullifies your comment off the bat. And that white tie with the silver thin stripes, is neutral which will go with the purple and vest, which also ties into the edgy-dressy look with the watch and rolled up sleeves. You are slacking on your creativity and fashion game bro. Don't comment on Marc's sense of style, he has one of the best I have seen.

[MindLftBody420]

Royal Oud or New York Oud? which one do you prefer?

[robes08]

@MindLftBody420 never smelled NY Oud so can't say

[LearnToFck]

are canadians really afraid of the dark?

[robes08]

@LearnToFck I'm Batman so not this Canadian 

[FragranceCollectorUS]

hey marc. you should fix your tie knot.

[robes08]

@FragranceCollectorUS looks pretty good to me , but i'm not alphamconsulting

[FragranceCollectorUS]

@robes08 You watch alphaM? your tie knot is too long and weird. Check out youtube to properly tying your tie.

[robes08]

@FragranceCollectorUS i wore it for a youtube video not going out, not that serious . thanks for caring ;)

[cazyellum]

not first
