 These are the absolute best fragrances in my collection. Hey, what's up guys, it's Josh here. I was going to do a video today on my top 28 bottles. I had just all these random clones back here and I kind of liked them in the background. Do these YouTube reviews and it's just nice having a bunch of clones back there. It lets you guys know that I know what I'm talking about. I was noticing that there were some fantastic fragrances that I just kept losing sight of. I kept not noticing where they were so I decided to cut my fragrances into one of three categories. Top category, the best category. I really try to put the fragrances that were the best of the best. There's a lot of fragrances that share the same DNA just because certain DNAs I find so luxurious and so great. In the future, I'm gonna try to limit these categories down to only the best of the best. I'm gonna try to make this best category as small as possible for right now. It's 28 as small as I could get it. I know it's crazy, but these are the absolute best fragrances in my collection. If I had so many fragrances that I could not find these, I'd be very, very sad that these weren't always at the very forefront of the fragrances that I'm picking because these are the absolute best. And when you have so many fragrances that you can't find the ones that are actually good, that's time to either organize or cut down a few. So without any more rambling on, let's jump into the top 28. I'm just gonna grab the bottle and show you a few words, try to go through it a little bit quick so we're not taking too long here. From Happy Land Fragrances, Paisley Sky. This is the only Happy Land fragrances that made it on the very, very tip top of my list. A lot of fragrances from Happy Land Fragrances made it into my top two or my second kind of category over here. This was the only one that really pushed it into the top number one. I don't know what it is about this fragrance, guys. I just really, really like it. It's very different. I haven't really smelled anything like it and I just really, really enjoy it. Unisex, my favorite from Happy Land personally. Babylon Fragrance is sacred. This is my favorite Babylon fragrance and it copies Backer Eirouge 540 Extrate. Very, very well. I really enjoy it. I've said a lot about it and I still really enjoy it. Worth of being on this list. Essential Obsessions Virgin Island Water. Absolutely love this stuff. Comes so close to nailing the original. Something about Virgin Island Water just makes me feel good. It's so pleasant for any sort of heat, sun of scenarios. One of the best tropical scents ever made and this is just a fantastic scent. I was wearing this the other day. I could wear this all summer. Essential Obsessions Virgin Island Water and Absolute Beast. I know this fragrance has been reformulated. I haven't really dabbled in trying the new versions but I have the old version. CH Men Privet. Absolutely love this stuff. One of my favorite designers of all time. One of the best dark, unique designer scents out there that just smells very good. It smells dark and it smells a little bit unlike everything else that you've smelled out there. Just fantastic scent. Highly recommended. I have yet to try the reformulated version but as far as this version, for sure in the top category, 100%. Vintage Fierce. Bottle number one. I have two bottles of vintage Fierce on this list so the next one I'll just show you real quick and say bottle number two. Absolutely love this stuff guys. Guy could wear this stuff all the time. Transparent, it's sexy, it's musky, it does everything I want in a fragrance. This fragrance got me into fragrances and I could just, not everyone else feels the same way but I could just wear this literally every day and I just absolutely love it on myself and other people do on me as well. Vintage Fierce. So good. Bottle number one fragrances, Tobacco Rojo with the messed up cover. Absolutely love this stuff. Supposed to copy Man Serious Red Tobacco. One of the best, strongest, sweet, unique scents out there. If you want something really strong, really unique. Just overall with super, super strength. This is the one I'd recommend. This is one of those ones where you could spray on clothes and have it last maybe up to a week or longer. I knew one of my coworkers sprayed up this and washed his clothes and it still smelled like this afterwards. Fantastic scent guys, I really, really enjoy it. Tobacco Rojo, one of the best highly recommended from Babylon Fragrances. Babylon Fragrances, Passionate. A Creed of Vences clone. Absolutely love Creed of Vences. It's just such a good compliment or you could wear it all the time. Passionate comes very, very close to cloning it. Smells so good, can't say anything bad about it. Very similar to Club Diniwee Intense Man but I find this one better. Overall just can't say anything bad about it. Passionate, so solid. It's Babylon Fragrances Legend. This is my favorite tobacco vene clone so far. Absolutely love this stuff guys. It is fantastic. Very elegant, spicy, sweet goodness. Just a classic spice, very robust, very kind of mature, but also a little bit likable at the same time. If you haven't smelled tobacco venea, how they recommend it, you do. And I just really, really enjoy this scent. Babylon Fragrances Legend. Definitely deserves to be in the top. It perfumes the Marley Herod. Not a surprise here. The fragrance that got me into niche fragrances is one of the only bottles of a niche fragrance that I own for a good reason. If I had to pick one niche fragrance, only one I may pick other ones besides Herod but I absolutely love this stuff guys. It reminds me of a darker, sweeter version of something like Abercrombie Fitch Fierce because it uses that ice sweet super. So it's kind of like a mix between tobacco vene and Fierce in some weird way and does obviously a little bit of its own thing. I just really, really like this stuff guys. Fantastic. One of my favorites from Parfums de Marley and probably one of my favorites for a long, long time, Parfums de Marley Herod. It's so good. And in the same vein as Herod, Babylon Fragrance is black. Now this fragrance comes very, very close to Herod. This one I'm kind of dancing if I wanted to put it in the second category or the third category just because it isn't 100% like Herod but I still really, really enjoy it. When I smell it, it just has just extra oomph of how much I really, really enjoy it. And it is one of those fragrances that I could spray through an extended period of time if I was in some of the cold or going through a little bit of dark situations because it is a little bit of a darker scent but really, really, really good. If I had to pick one, I'd probably pick Herod but this is still so good. I could not keep it out of the list so far. One of the only Herod clones I've ever smelled and they did it pretty, pretty good. Babylon Fragrance is black. Abercrombian Fitch, Fierce and Tense, the 2016 version. This bottle is holding strong. I can't see how much I have left of it so it may be all the way out or maybe like halfway there. I don't know, really, really enjoyed this stuff, guys. One of the most expensive fragrances that I bought right off the bat. When I wasn't into fragrances, I bought this and I think I got it on sale for like $100, $110 or something super, super expensive. Maybe even like 90, I don't know. But it was a lot of money when I bought it. Really fantastic scent, guys. Kind of a more thicker, darker version of the original Fierce but still smells so good when I was testing this. Although it has things that are kind of different from the original Fierce which is what it was supposed to copy. It still is fantastic, smells so good and it's got me unsolicited compliments. Fierce Intense. A Duas version of Vintage Fierce, not a surprise. Just did a review on this stuff, guys. Fantastic. Probably the closest you're gonna get to the Silver Cap Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce is the classic Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce. It just has a little bit of this nuances that reminds me of the Silver Cap. This one and Fierce Intense is so good but this one has more nuances that are closer to the classic version. Super solid, did a review on it and I still like it. Duas copy of Vintage Fierce. My Babylon Fragments is the one. One of my subscribers ended up picking this one up and he thought for sure this is gonna be my favorite Babylon Fragments and I could see why. This smells like a really robust mix of Crete Aventus and Dior Sauvage to my nose. Two fragrances that are copied a lot are very popular, very likable but I haven't smelled too many that'll dance in between the Sauvage and in between Aventus. Does it so well, kind of like a hidden gem for the summertime where you may encounter some Sauvage and some Aventus, you have this to kind of really mix things up and get the best of both worlds. So, so good, Babylon Fragments is the one. Mansera Red Tobacco. I actually bought this before I got into Tobacco Rojo. Super solid, maybe a little bit more spicy than Tobacco Rojo but really, really enjoyed this stuff. Pretty much the same things that I'll say about Tobacco Rojo, I could say about this. Last Forever smells really good, very robust. One of the highest, strongest projectors that I could come across. This is getting into the higher dollar amounts because this is an actual niche fragrance. This is only a clone house but super, super solid and I'm sure other fragrances out there. Yeah, highly recommend it, guys. Definitely check it out if you haven't. One of the highest projecting, sweet, spicy fragrances I've ever smelled that smells good for sure. All right, your Sauvage now, I mean, what's not to say about this one. I know it's been, people have started to hate it. I don't know what it is. I just really, really like this one. I've liked this one for a long time. It still is, I don't know. I just really, really like it for right now. I can't put it down. One of the highest, you know, one of the fragrances that just makes me feel good and I think smells really, really good on me. Can't really say anything bad about it. I know a lot of people are gonna hate me out for it but Sauvage definitely had to put it in there. 2016, Normal Fierce. I know this was kind of like after they started reformulating it but I still really, really, really like this stuff. It has just a special vibe every time I wear it, I had to include it. Dolce & Gabbana is the one real night. It's just so, so, so good. I love that the one D&A and this one puts a little bit more roughness, a little bit more manly quality into it and I just really, really, really enjoy it. Same with the one EDP that's also on this list so I'll just kind of show you guys when I bring that up and talk about it now. Yeah, I just absolutely love this guys. One of my favorite designers of all time. One of my favorite date sense of all time and it also smells so good that you don't only necessarily need to wear it for a date or a night out. You could just wear it anytime. Kind of as long as it's a little bit cooler. So Dolce & Gabbana is the one real night. So, so, solid. Vintage Fierce Bottle number two. Super good, you know how much I love this stuff. Club Dean Wee and Tense Man. One of my favorites of all time. One of the highest complimenters of all time. Super long projecting. People have argued about it. Some people love it, some people hate it. I absolutely love it. Still one of the best ones. Easy to wear and gets compliments. So, so, solid. I had to include it. Dew of fragrances, casino, royal nights. Now this is another Backrat Rouge 540 X-Straight clone that does it so good. I absolutely love Backrat Rouge 540 when it's done right in the normal and the X-Straight versions. The X-Straight versions is a little bit more thick so you get more of that smell in the air and the normal versions is a little bit more transparent which provides a little bit more of like a muskiness and like a subtle sexiness. But I just really, really love this stuff, guys. Thank you so much for providing this. Kurt, one of my subscribers. And yeah, highly recommended. Definitely check out Casino Royale Nights if you like Backrat Rouge 540 X-Straight. This is one of those fragrances that I actually kind of got lost in my collection and that's why I had to redo all these so I could make sure that I'm using all the best fragrances. Alexandria fragrances, Hawaii Volcano. Now, I know that there's several different nuances to this one. I think there's Hawaii Volcano Intense and maybe even another one out there right now but I really, really like this one, guys. This one smells a lot like Virgin Island water. Maybe a little bit more heavy on the lime but I just really, really like this one. Same with Sensual Obsessions Virgin Island water. I just really, really like both of them. Solid accountants say anything bad about it. One of my favorites from Alexandria and everybody else who tried it seems to think the same thing. Actually, I think this lasts a lot longer as well. Super solid Hawaii Volcano. Very nice. Sensual Obsessions Backrat Rouge 540, the original perfume version. Now, originally when I smelled this, I thought that it was a little bit weaker than the other X-Straight versions but I had to remember that the original Backrat Rouge 540 is a little bit more transparent. I love this just about as much as the same as all the other ones, especially when I was wearing it. The only thing I could notice the difference between the original Backrat Rouge 540 is there's a little bit more of a simple vanilla sweetness, like 5% or less, besides that it smells exactly the same. Whenever time I smell it, it's just, man, do I love smelling. Getting whiffs of this in the air. Fantastic scent, absolutely love it. Sensual Obsessions Backrat Rouge 540, super good. All right, one that I just haven't really sprayed that much because I've almost sprayed a whole bottle and I don't even know if it's still relevant or they're still making it but Aqua Dijot Perfumo, super solid, man. How do you not include this one in a top list? It just covers all the bases, smells good, projects good, all the whole nine yards, super good. Highly recommended Aqua Dijot Perfumo. All right, guys, one that I was kind of on the fence about but I do really, really enjoy it. Lana Weed DeLome, now this one, I mean, obviously everybody knows about it. It's been hyped to death. Apparently the original version was a lot stronger but this one is just one of those sexy nighttime scents. I think it leans a little bit more towards trying to come off sexy to a woman versus just being good for any time of night where I do think it's a little bit like I am trying to seem sexy in there but sometimes you want that and it does smell sexy, it does smell good. One of the best for nights out, things like that. Can't go wrong with it. YSL's Lana Weed DeLome. Dolce & Gabbana, the one, EDP. I was just talking about the one Royal Knight but Dolce & Gabbana, the one, EDP, so good, so solid, a little bit thicker than the original, the one, just a compliment getter. It smells so good, so pleasant, so easy to wear. Probably a little bit more easy to wear in more situations than Lana Weed DeLome. Super solid, Dolce & Gabbana, the one, EDP. I was on the fence with this one for a second but I had to include it. Jean-Paul Goutier, ultra male, absolutely love this stuff guys. So good, so sweet, so sexy. Not very many niche fragrances smell like this. Not very many fragrances in general smell like this. Just one of those ones where it's like people may not like it but if they do smell and they do like it, it's gonna be probably one of the best things they ever smelled. People have said that and I agree 100% Jean-Paul Goutier, ultra male. They say it's more for the younger crowd but I've also heard people saying that they could pull it off when they're older. It just smells good in my opinion, Jean-Paul Goutier, ultra male. Chanel Allure Aum Sport O Extreme. What's not to say about this one guys, absolutely love it. One of the best springtime scents. You could wear this scent all year round. You could spray it all year round. It's just got a really nice, almost like out of the shower, sexiness but at the same time has parts of it that's like cloudy and just has a little bit of a vibe that you don't smell it everywhere else and for some reason it shouldn't smell as good as it does but it does to me and it also delivers the compliments. Chanel Allure Aum Sport O Extreme, so, so solid. The last one on this list, Sensual Obsessions, Miliseum Imperial. I actually really, really, really like this one. I've actually got two copies of Miliseum Imperials from two different houses and this one was definitely number one. I'm gonna do a comparison coming up pretty soon because Miliseum Imperial is a great, great summer scent. Just absolutely love this scent. I love Miliseum Imperial. This comes so close to it. One of the best summertime scents if you want some sort of subtle sexiness. Absolutely love it guys. This has been my top 28 bottles. Let me know what you think of the video.
