I think Alex was being super safe with this list, his actual collection is awesome and has tons of niche & interesting fragrances. But this list is definitely aimed at the masses 😊

Out of all these mens style influencers, Alex is the least annoying. He seems like he actually likes what hes doing

I think Alex’s top 10 list is catered for those who are just starting their fragrance journey, so it isn’t bad at all I actually appreciate it. It’s not for those who have trained noses who are into niche.

Bottom line: Wear what you like.

He knocks Bleu De Chanel because everyone is wearing it now then immediately praises ADG Profumo saying it's popular as one of the first words to describe it LOL

My Aventus is about a year old and lasts for 12+ hours, even though I go nose blind to it quickly. I don’t know if I have ever worn it, and not gotten a compliment…from men and women. Prada LHomme is a masterpiece!

Dear Teacher, I love your critique on other teachers. They are very informative and I enjoy comparing my learnings with yours. I agree that other teachers should not imitate other teachers, although Alex most really look up to Jeremy to imitate his this much! Very insightful. I do think we as students must expand our minds and accept other fragrances! Kind regards, Your Student

can we get your TOP 10 FOR LIFE? try and cover every area in 10 fragrances, it'd be interesting considering you prefer many different niche and less popular fragrances! Thanks

The whole "smell unique" thing is silly. It's a fragrance. People are going to wear them. You're not going to be special. Wear what smells good. You're not a rare snowflake. And honestly. People want compliments and crowd pleasers. You get no points for being "niche" and impressing a bunch of dude fragrance lovers. It's super snobby. Not sorry.

the list is for top 10 for life, not top ten unknown or less popular. These fragrances are iconic and therefore belong on this list, even if they are over covered

Love this reaction, I think Alex was going to safe. I like the fact that you called it out, because not only was it safe, these are fragrances that are already talked about in every single video. It did feel like Jeremy's list😄

It’s not that “this is Jeremy’s list.” These are some of the highest rated, most popular fragrances for a reason. Most people love them. You’re gonna find a lot more people with lists like this than you will with people having Jubilation XXV and Naxos. Niche is niche for a reason. It doesn’t appeal to everyone the way most of these mass pleasers do. It’s a solid list, because he’s genuinely in love with them, like most people who smell them are. Not what I’d put in my top 10, but I can see why they’d be in anyone else’s.

I think I agree that Alex has been watching too much Jeremy. But I did notice a lot of the bottles were well used so at least he does wear them a lot. I have to admit I love Prada L'Homme but I can be old school and couldn't live without YSL Pour Homme, Hermes Equipage or vintage Habit Rouge EDT. And L'Instant de Guerlain was my signature for the last couple of years. Love your takes and wit when reviewing other reviews, would like to see this more often.

This is actually a decent list for someone starting into fragrances. Safe choices of course, but good to start with. Also bought 40 Knots and Nio recently - very much looking forward to them!!

You can't be harsh on the guy, he's not an actual fragrance reviewer. Yes, he has a massive collection but that's not his main niche as he's more into fashion, grooming and dating. I personally think he's just playing it safe and rockin fragrances that simply work in spite how generic they may be to the fragrance community. Cheers!

Dude stop hating. Your being cringy. He has some solid picks. Also you seem to forget. It's rare when a man wears a fragrance. Unless you live in yuppie Cali..

i like some of the videos that chaos fragrances, gentscents and justin copland come up with. they have a good mix of designer, niche and lesser known designer fragrances. thanks to them, i've had the chance to discover fragrances like cartier declaration d'un soir, theo cabanel et voila, lolitha lampecka green lover, diesel bad intense, aramis tobacco reserve, boucheron jaipur EDP and rayene tradition insurrection 2 wild. these may not all be the most versatile of fragrances, but they certainly are very interesting to me.

I agree with you. I kinda of getting sick about hearing the same old Fragrance over and over. Keep up the great videos!!

The hair care I burst out lol 😆 😂

Jeremy's top 10 include Nautica Voyage. I disagree with you 🤣

I think the list is pretty good without being extremely generic like invictus or born in roma. But yeah it could seriously use some spicing up

For some reason when I sample aventus in stores, it lasts no more than 2 hours on my skin. When I use a sample I got from creed, it lasts 6+ hours. Interesting

LNDL, Bleu de Chanel, Profumo, Aventus, Dylan Blue... Jeremy is that you?

My #1 for life is Chanel Platinum Egoiste

POWER!!!🙂

Keep your truthfull fragrance review omar. I personally love this kind of content...

I will say that I do appreciate that you are genuine and don’t sing the same song that everyone else does. You are honest

I love his list, but they are not top 10 and I find it strange that the only niche pick is the most mainstream niche cologne. I think 5 designer 5 niche is fair for a KZfaq video. For me, I didn't go through my list but I easily assume all 10 are niche.

Hate Alex Costa - Reminds me of Andre Agassi 🤮

But that's his own list! It could be similar to Jeremy's, but what's different in the community? All vloggers say the same thing, but in different styles! 😂 😂 😂 😂

Bleu Electrique is good and all but it’s near impossible to find

Dylan Blue weak…?? Come on now. Sounds like some bias. I’m not a big Dylan Blue fan… but it still smells pleasant enough and is fairly strong and I have skin that soaks fragrance up for lunch..

Agree with just about everything you said! Dylan blue and allure spot eau extreme are super hyped and nice but I think there are better options for both. Also agree that prada l'homme is a bit sweet and not really my style. Prada L'homme intense is a much better option.

I agree, around 8/10 of the perfumes on his list (as well as his comments about those perfumes) are very similar to Jeremy's-especially the way he gushed about LNDL being a ladykiller fragrance. I'm not surprised though. It doesn't seem like fragrances are his main thing & I'm sure he's just getting information from the most accessible fragrance guy on KZfaq. Not saying it's a bad thing. Just that if it's not what you're mainly interested in, you most likely would not put in as much effort into it. Seems like he's into fragrances simply because it's a complementary topic to fashion.

Great video and I enjoyed it and I like all of these fragrances and have a blessed day

Hey Omar, how about featuring the top 10 fragrance reviewers : from best to worst, in your opinion?

My 10 for life are: Dior Homme Parfum Xerjoff Naxos Prada L'homme Intense Giorgio Armani Stronger With You Absolutely Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privee Parfums De Marly Carlisle Yves Saint Laurent Y EDP Boucheron Jaïpur Homme EDP Dolce&Gabbana The One EDP Guerlain L'homme Ideal EDP

The list would be much much better if he gave 3 fragrances for each type of wear or occasion. There are some very good under rated designer fragrance that most guys don’t wear as they all flock to the luxury or niche brand . For example JV’s JV and Vintage are very interesting scents that no one wears, another simple scent is Aigner In Leather for Man

Funny I felt the same about ADG Profumo. Didn't blow me away, gave it to my Father.

I think Alex’s channel is Made for young Men and teens so I think he’s trying to help people start fondo gli their style. To be honest I think a teen who still lives with his parents can not start a collection with expensive Niesce fragances

Light Blue is perfect for summer and everyone loves it.

Think about it. Jeremy ”made” every single fragrance KZfaq channel that came after him. All of these people are just copying his choices from years ago!

Jeremy it's a fxxxing legend, he make me buy Ultra male , Allure homme sport eau extreme, La nuit de l'homme, Invictus aqua 2016, no regret whatsoever.

Idk man, those are all just really basic and safe picks, and I think that's ok. He's got all the bases very well covered with those 10.

Loved the video. What’s the best leather fragrance in your opinion? And what is the strongest ?

I think your hating because he started focusing more on hair 😂

I myself prefer designer recommendations. I want to be able to go to a store, try a few samples and leave with a bottle or 2 to smell good

Curly and you are my favorite fragrance reviewers keep up the good work bro

Earlier i only got influenced and purchased fragrances. With School of Scents i am actually learning the ingredients.

I don't like Dylan blue I wish they come out with an EDP that they need to do

I can trust your judgement , you say things people are afraid to say 😂😂

this bald guy is starting to be annoying now. he takes shots at jeremy all the time now and it’s annoying.

I have 10 that i've actually thought through. 2 for each function just so i have an alternate use. Day, montblanc explorer and versace eros flame. Night, coach platinum and armani code edp. Office, prada l'homme and dior homme sport 2021. Anytime, missoni parfum and rochas l'homme. For summer, ysl y live and polo deep blue parfum.

I stopped watching Alex a couple years ago as well. 🙄 He always seems like he's performing or acting. much prefer your style.

Omar shit eating, sly smirk is phenomenal!!😂

3:02 …what’s wrong with juvenile? Granted, performance for Dylan Blue has dropped significantly over the years and is no longer a “prime” frangrande. But i think it’s still great and is a good to have in your collection.

Am afraid his list is a starter pack. Niche

Your facial expressions are Hilarious! And hey, if you ever feel the inspiration to “give-away” another fragrance; I’d LOVE to accept! Much love

Dylan blue .. you hate it but gurls love it

Personally i love more "hidden gems" and cheapies that smell good. The problem with people who are not into art of scents is that they just buy popular stuff and something that popular influencers talk about like Jeremy . The main reason i don't wanna own Sauvage and Bleu de Chanel is because everyone smells the same and what's the point of it? The point is to be unique and not just another fish in the sea. Love Alex and i wish he talked more about cheapies or hidden gems or some nieche quality fragrances instead of the crowd pleasing ones that everyone knows about

I very much agree with you, but it doesn't mean that his choices are bad. 😁😁😁

I blind bought Prada Lhomme and like you said it felt too feminine for me i just couldnt get along with it, although i got a fair amount of compliments for it, i sold it shortly after buying it

The guy is basically recommending known safe fragrances. The list is not wrong, but there is nothing unique. How is ejaazi intensive silver vs bleu electrique?

Yea. Jeremy vibes.. this is a beginners list.. straight from the Ultra Beauty store. Nothing wrong with one’s personal preferences, but like I said this is for beginners

parfums d'elmar - elixir d 'amour is the only perfume I need, pure perfection, shame I only have 50ml as it is pricey as hell lol

Alex gave his opinion on the fragrances he chose. We all know that the opinion of each person can be and often is different. Without some background support provided by Omar and others here who make fragrances their profession, Alex’s opinions meant nothing to me. There is nothing like sampling and wearing to choose your own favorite scent. Testing in the stores, or researching and ordering decants of the ones that sound like they fit your style are the most efficient and economical ways to build your own library of “cant live without” fragrances. That is my opinion. 😂

the smugness is palpable :/

What's the point in this video ? Who does a video criticizing other reviewers opinions. It comes across extremely arrogant. Stay in your lane and worry about your own reviews......Update, After watching through this video I apologise, this guy's clearly just copying Jeremy fragrance 🤦

Eau extreme is soooo fire 🔥

dylan blue is the worst blue fragance i know, easily

I think nowadays once you switch from designer to niche you’ll never really go back, or if you do it’ll be a special release ie bleu electrique or something like that

Jeremy has a comment "POWER" on Alex's video 🤣

bro literally just ctrl c + v from jeremy fragrance 😂

This is irrelevant to the video but what cologne do you guys suggest that’s attractive and lasts a long time , I’ve got sauvage but that’s played out 👍🏿

Alex Costa isn’t my cup of tea… But I can appreciate the fragrance collection.

Can't agree with him on TF Ombre Leather, I wear it all day, nearly every day. It's my No.1 go to, and it's easy to wear. As for price, I think for the quality, it's very much on target if not imo, slightly under-priced.

From all these scents I will take Blue the Channel that is a timeless masterpiece, the rest are good classics but super safe and lack character.

Not sure if you saw but you were briefly in a video for a split second on a big tech channel called UrAverageConsumer at 9:13 of a video called something along the lines of day in the life of iPhone 14 pro max. I’m paraphrasing I honestly can’t remember the exact title I just remember what time it was hahah not that you would care since it’s literally a split second but still interesting watching two completely different worlds collide. I was like wait that dude looks familiar!

Very much a JF klone video. I was waiting for MB Inderviduel to be announced.

I feel like a lot of the “men’s style” KZfaqrs choose the very safe and overused recommendations instead of actually diving deeper. Every time I’ve seen a video of his on the topic it makes me disappointed not because it’s a bad video but because they (men’s style) offer the most basic mass appealing overly used designer ones and more often than not their choices are outdated as well And as you said you could watch a Jeremy video and see the exact same being displayed. Both of these lists seem like a ok starting point though I still they’re outdated at least in terms of the “mass appealing” starter perfumes that are out today

I think Alex is more of a fashion guy, his fragrance knowledge ain’t quite there imo

HE COPIED JEREMY LIST.!! BUT THOSE 10 ARE BANGERS... ON MY TOP 10 LAYTON, HACIVAT & INTERLUDE BLACK IRIS ARE A MUST🙄🙄🙄

hair care lol - i know how you feel :)

Great video, can you give us your top 10 list ???

My man Alex Costa getting banged just because of his dope ass hairstyles that make SOMEONE jealous. Hahhaha Cheers mate, great video. More content like this pls.

4:13 That "boxer dropper" cliche is nothing but BS. I've been wearing Aventus for several years now and received many compliments, only from women. It's not a panty dropper either ...

The Andrew Tate of fragrance

You are right Jeremy fragrance's 5 years old video list said by Alex Costa . 😅🙏

Learn from Aaron Terence Hughes. He does reviews well and is competent in describing what a fragrance smells like and why it is so.

I ❤ Prada L’homme

Hy Omar... What do you think about Dior Homme Intense?.. im 20 it is fit for me at my age?

Yes, just copied Jeremy's list xD. Of course, I appreciate majority of this perfumes for skills of a perfumer and scent profile, I think it is a nice choice but with the lack of character a little bit. I agree with @Josh. I appreciate this list as well, I don't think these perfumes are bad, some of them I love actually, but it needs something more interesting. I suggest to try classic French style of perfumery, chypres orientals and fougeres. Try Chanel Egoiste for example, Alex. xd As I said, I am a huge fan of this old French Classic style which was more alive back in the days. You, Omar helped me to really understand my style and this what I actually love. I earned lots of experience and got fascinated with chemistry in perfumes. My personal life perfumes should be Chanel Egoiste EDT, Sartorial by Penhaligon's or Bvlgari Terre Essence for example. I like when classic style is getting back to life by modernized perfumery as well, I wish to see it developing in this direction. I am waiting for Mr Fragrant with patience. Kind regards, Brother

Hightly recommended you try his forte product , i think it’s amazing😊

Well Aventus is a great fragrance and hacivat is a winner .

Not only is Alex choosing the same designers that have been cycled through by every reviewer over the last ten years, but there is nothing specific nor articulate in his descriptions; it's boring stacked upon boring.

The list is very generic. No hidden gems

much prefere bleu chanel in the edt version no idea why everyone says edp i gave mine away very boring but hey im not a fan of the whole bleu fragrance thing

His list seems to be for beginner fragrance collectors at least that's the types of fragrances I bought in the beginning of my collection

You guys should try Dior Higher. I bet you no one is wearing that nowadays

dylan blue wants to be layered with retro leather frags
