 I've actually showed this to one of my friends and it's funny because it's kind of like Ruin's designer sense to him because of how high quality this is and there's no alcohol, cheap smelling smell and any of this stuff here. Hey, what's up guys? It's Josh here. I've been wanting to do this video for a long time. I was going to do kind of like a full house overview of central obsessions. I have maybe 20 to 30 samples. Let's just do a top 10 of them. All these are just top notch and I like them all for what they do and for what they bring to the table. All these are samples with just like a printed writing over them. So I'm not really going to show you the bottles. They're all like different kinds of samples. I do have two bottles, but I got one here just to show you like if you do purchase a full bottle like what it's pretty much going to come in. One thing I like about central obsessions is there's a lot of really affordable fragrance houses out there like Babylon fragrances and Happyland fragrances to where I really, really enjoy them, but they're probably the best mix of value to juice quality that there is out there. You get a one ounce bottle, two ounce bottle all the way up to like a four ounce bottle and the four ounce bottles only like 45 bucks, which is super, super affordable for how high of quality juice this is. You could get like a one ounce or a two ounce. Maybe the juice is like, you really like it, but you're not going to wear it that much. You get a two ounce to save you some money, but then you obviously, if you really like it, you get the four ounce, you may save more money. I've actually showed this to one of my friends and it's funny because it's kind of like ruins designer sense to him because of how high quality this is and there's no alcohol, cheap smelling, smell and any of this stuff here. My two honorable mentions are Straight to Heaven and Tobacco Vene. I enjoy both those Straight to Heaven. It's really nice, but it's just a little bit too out there for me. I get this like vanilla Oud style smell personally to me. That's what I get very good, but it just couldn't crack my top 10. And then also Tobacco Vene, this was one of my favorites from him. His Tobacco Vene is a little bit more on the vanilla and a little bit less on the spiciness, which honestly, I think makes it a little bit more wearable, which is awesome. But to be honest, for Tobacco Vene, I really prefer Babylon Fragrance's Legend to it now. But like I said, the Tobacco Vene is probably easier to wear, but the Babylon Fragrance's Legend is just super, super robust. So that kind of kicked it out of the top 10, even though I really, really enjoy it. Tobacco Vene. Number 10, this is the one I've done the least amount of research on and that one is called Sweet Tooth. It was kind of like in his recent batches. I haven't really looked online of whether this is a copy or not. If it is a copy, I'll make sure to put it in this video. I'm pretty sure almost all of, I know all of the other ones, if they're copies or not, except for this one. So, you know, I'll just list it down below. But anyways, this is kind of like almost like a cotton candy kind of sweetness. I don't mean it in a bad way, but it seems like if you go after that kind of cheap attention getting girl perfume, that kind of smell. But then you just tune it up so it's just nothing cheap about it. Just all that sweet goodness, without any raspiness. I really, really enjoy it. It might have been a little higher if I was a girl because it's more a little more feminine to me. I did really enjoy enough to put it in my top 10. So number 10, Sweet Tooth. Number nine, his version of Tuxedo. And I got to say every version of Tuxedo I've ever smelled smells really good. I've smelled the original Tuxedo. It's kind of like this classy lemon vanilla style smell that it just smells really good. And you could wear it pretty much all the time, but it is maybe a little bit more of a dressed up nighttime style scent. Smells clean, smells unique, and his version is very good. Number nine, Tuxedo. Number eight, Tuscan Leather. Now Tuscan Leather actually topped, I think my top 10 highest projecting list this year. I'm actually really particular about my Tuscan Leather before I get into it. It's one of the only fragrances where I want the original Tuscan Leather. I find that it's very strong and very unique and it tries to do this really weird smell and it completely accomplishes it for me. So when anytime someone else does something else with it, it smells good, but I like the original. And I can't really say that about many other fragrances. I almost like to wear any of the clones interchangeably, even background Rouge 540 clones completely. But when it comes to Tuscan Leather, I really just like the original and his version, although it was really strong, it lasted a long time. I just feel like a little bit of a raspy vibe. That kind of comes up in one of their fragrance in this video, but a little bit of this like raspy vibe that wasn't there from the original Tuscan Leather, but it was wearable. The raspy quality, it kind of held it back for me. Super high-quality, longevity and projection. Like it made my top video for that. So it actually feels like room temperature when it hits your arm, which I think means that there's a lot of oils in it. So number eight, Tuscan Leather. It's number seven, his version of Aventus. And this one actually might have been a little bit higher, but he sent me his original version of Aventus, which I really liked. It was really strong and it had a little bit of this grainy, raspy quality to it. But unlike the Tuscan Leather, actually didn't mind it really and it kind of gave it its own little vibe. And I really honestly liked it. I would say that that raspiness would have held me back in recommending it a little bit. It's not rough. It's just a little bit of graininess. It's weird. But then he recreated the Aventus and he gave me it. And what I noticed was that it was a little bit less strong and that raspy graininess was pretty much gone. So he eliminated it from it. So I have more experience with the first one and not the second one, but still very, very good. I think he actually has double Aventus and maybe some more in the future. So I do want to get like my absolute favorites from him, but so far, Aventus is very good. I just haven't done enough testing on as of late. Number six, Andy Warhol. Now this one's one that I really, really enjoy. Very, very unique. Very sweet. Off in its own direction. Almost smells like a raspberry, syrupy kind of smell. It's just bold and unique and out there and you know, really has no off-putting vibes aside from the fact that it's very sweet. If you don't like sweet fragrances, that's pretty much the only off-putting vibe that I could see from it. I think he posted something and that was one of his most bought fragrances if I'm not mistaken. And I also compare it to Avalon Fragrance's Ryolite. I feel like Ryolite is a little bit more of a safer, less bold, cologne version of this. That's just me personally. I really, really enjoy Andy Warhol, one of my absolute favorites. And like I said, if you could imagine like a sweet, raspberry, syrupy kind of a smell, that's what it does. It does it perfectly. Number six, Andy Warhol. All right guys, number five is one that actually really grew on me. I thought it maybe could have made the top 10, but when I was comparing them, I was like, yeah, that one is personally one of my favorites. This is one that I actually like to wear because I just like the smell. I don't know if it's going to get me compliments. I don't know if other people like it, but that is New Harlem, originally created by Bond Number 9. I think the Bond Number 9 version is, I think it's discontinued. I'm not too sure, but this stuff smells honestly really, really, really good. I find it a little bit more thick compared to the Andy Warhol. Like a syrupy brown sugary kind of smell like sugary brown syrup. It's weird. It's hard to explain. It do smell like a little bit of that pancake-y syrupy vibe that I get from Andy Warhol, but Andy Warhol is more sweet. Whereas if I knew Harlem to be sweet, almost a little bit of a honey vibe with the syrupy kind of smell. I wore it the other day. I really, really liked it. The almost honey smell, but generally like this brown sugary syrupy smell mixed with a little bit of elements to make it smell like a cologne. Honestly, every time I've worn it, I just really enjoyed it and I actually might get a bottle of it because it's just really pleasant to me personally and it's one of the only ones that I wear because just because I like the smell, I don't think it's necessarily going to make me smell like super sexy or totally going to get me the compliments like for a specific date, but I could wear it a lot and I really enjoy it. So, Number 5, New Harlem. Number 4, this is another one that really, really grew on me. It is really, really nice and that is his version of Lost Cherry. I used to like cherry kind of stuff when I was younger. This kind of cherry is weird because it smells and this is not a knock on Central Obsessions and this isn't a knock on Tom Ford because Tom Ford initially meant to do it, but it smells like a cheap cherry. Like if you really get like a cherry flavored something, that's the kind of cherry that I smell on it, like a very artificial kind of cherry, but it's also done so, so, so smooth, so sexy and smooth. It's really just unbelievable. Sexy smooth. That's all that really comes to mind when I wear it. It lasts a long, long time. The reason that kind of got up that high is because I just feel like it smells sexy. You know, I feel like versus the other ones, it has a really, really good vibe, a very unique vibe, not one bit of dirtiness or roughness, but also very high projecting at the same time. I've tried other versions of Lost Cherry. I don't think I've smelled the original, but they all kind of smell the same. So I'm assuming that I pretty much have smelled the original because that's usually how it goes, but I will say that I have not smelled the original, but I really, really enjoy Lost Cherry. High projecting, very smooth, very cherry, very sexy in my opinion. Number four. Number three, I think that's the bottle that I have. Their version of Virgin Island water. Now, I would really just enjoy Virgin Island water. It's another one of those ones where I just wear it because I like the smell of it. I do feel like it has a general sexy vibe to it, whether it be unisex or not. There is some sexiness from Virgin Island water that I would say that is not guaranteed from something like New Harlem, like I was just talking about, but really, really good. Super high quality smells, nearly identical to the original. A lot of people have heard of it. A lot of people have tried it. Not really too many designers sense have this coconut lime rum kind of smell to it. That's pretty much what it is in case you don't know. Coconut lime rum done very good. The king of tropical fragrances, the original tropical fragrance to me, Virgin Island water and it's done perfectly here. So number three, Virgin Island water. Number two, pretty much very similar to Virgin Island water. This is kind of like him just taking that smell and doing a few other things to it. And that is their version of lime in the sky. Now honestly, I probably like lime on the sky a little bit more than Virgin Island water. And another reason I had to put in number two is because it's his own creation, it is a unique kind of smell. Apparently it's Ariana Grande's cloud mixed with Virgin Island water. And it does have this cloudy kind of sexiness to it. I don't think I've smelled cloud but apparently cloud smells a lot like background Rouge 540. To me it smells like background Rouge 540 mixed with Virgin Island water. More Virgin Island water than background Rouge 540 because you get that lime but it's very cloudy and sexy at the same time. I do like cloudy sexies kind of sense. And that's what it does here. One of the best highly recommended. I did a video on this one specifically by itself for a good reason and I still really really like it. Lime in the sky number two. Because number one this is the other bottle that I have and I was looking at all these and they're all good. I would say the top four all just can't go wrong with them. And on every level in every category really really enjoyed them. But number one I had to just put a hair above for me personally. And that is their version of Miliseum Imperial. Now I actually have another bottle of this but I just really really like this scent guys. To me this scent came out in 2005. Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce came out in 2002. It was super super popular. And I feel like Miliseum Imperial is one of those interpretations of a Fierce style smell totally done in its own direction. I wouldn't even say that they're like 90% similar but I feel like the DNA kind of like in the same vein. I feel like Miliseum Imperial does smell a little bit more elegant and clean maybe ritzy smelling. It's kind of like this this Ambroxene watermelon. It's just this perfect style fragrance. I'll put the original Miliseum Imperial notes on screen but I find it to be kind of like a a different take on Fierce. Less bold a little bit more safe a little bit more high class smelling. And you know obviously higher ingredients than Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce. Although I love that fragrance Miliseum Imperial does probably smell like it used higher ingredients. Although I love I would always pick the original Fierce back in the day. Don't get me wrong but I know that may seem crazy but I just love it. So number one Miliseum Imperial just absolutely phenomenal. Look up the notes to the original. I'll put them on screen and that's pretty much what it smells like. If you like Fierce I think you'd like this fragrance. It's fresh kind of a little see-through a little bit Ambroxene and it kind of mimics the Isoe Super from Fierce. So there's this Anomalic muskiness to it that's very very slight but overall it's clean fresh also good. Number one Miliseum Imperial but like I said number one through four I totally would recommend getting. So anyways guys let me know if you tried central obsessions down below. Let me know what you think of this video. I definitely think this house is definitely one checking into maybe get a sample pack from them before you jump right into them and I'm pretty sure you're gonna be really impressed. You can go off the ones that I suggested off this list or if you like another fragrance it's probably really high quality and he pretty much recreates every fragrance. So if there's some fragrance that's been discontinued you might want to check it out on there and it might be like super high quality or smell very similar to the old batches but anyways guys thank you guys so much for watching my video. You guys are the best. We're on the road to 25,000 subscribers and I couldn't shoot without any guys's help. I'm having a great day out here. Hopefully having a great day at home. See y'all in the next video. Peace. Coconut Rhyme
