What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenMufti Abu Layth rates perfumes, with Tiziana Terenzi as the house that has impressed him most, and notes the crypto bull run with a word of caution.
In more detail
Asked by the chat to talk about his perfumes, Mufti Abu Layth reviews a Louis Vuitton sample, giving it about six and a half out of ten, and says no perfume house has impressed him as much as Tiziana Terenzi, describing the projection and sillage of two of its fragrances. Mufti praises Maison Francis Kurkdjian, noting that the silver and gold versions of Gentle Fluidity use the same ingredients in different quantities, and calls a heavily hyped Tom Ford scent overrated. He names Creed Aventus and Parfums de Marly's Layton as his joint favourites. After brushing off a joke question about his sexuality, Mufti remarks that crypto has rocketed with Dogecoin, which he calls a joke coin, and advises those benefiting to keep it sensible with some risk management.

so right what is going on people what is going on so show us your perfumes um you know i actually today i did try i had a uh a sample arrive of um louis vuitton um noir dark mata and it's uh hmm it's actually quite weirdly um
weirdly alluring in a way so it's something i'm not usually into the noir kind of perfumes so it had a you know you've got all that kind of dark presence to it you know whether it's noise it's going to usually be this uh whether it's going to be uh that kind of peppery um um even that kind of tea uh dark tea kind of smell in there usually that kind of fragrance um but with a bit of old stroke velvety i don't know it's not really it's not the kind of fragrance i usually
go for but i thought you know louis vuitton let's try it out and it did it it's okay actually you know it's quite um you know i would give it something like uh i was expecting it to be just like i know this is not gonna that louis vuitton won't be very pleased with this but i was expecting it something very mediocre five out of ten but i'd probably give it like maybe six and a half
maybe between that and seven depending on the but it's that's because it's not really my kind of style yet it still surprisingly uh uh impressed me to some extent so that's um but generally i have to say i've never been as impressed with a house a perfume house as i have with tisiana torrency i'm very uh just wowed by you know as a house as a um because you don't really get you know an entire even if you're looking at
and and this this is niche and it's top you know but if you're looking at um you know whether it's the house of uh de mali whether it's going to be tom ford whether it's going to be the there's not usually many that will absolutely strike you down you get certain fragrances tom ford is a good example i mean it's there's many things which are good but they don't really you know i i i like the wood wood i like uh ombre leather i mean i i don't like i love mencantan mencanten people but
uh there's other things i do like of tom ford but i'm not so wild and then there's loads which are not really they might just be okay nice but they're not like wow and and he has so many and some are so overrated and i remember uh effing fabulous was just so hyped up in my perspective it was it was good but it wasn't nothing near the hype um but i have to say tisiana torrency really have surprised me as a house so the uh that the red bottle you can see the espirito
florentino amazing honestly and i'll put some on right now hi hi hi wow and you know as soon as you put it on i'm telling you the projection people it it captivates you and this it's a very oriental uh but not annoying in any you know because sometimes oriental can have this kind of like twang to it which um you know it's not really but this and it really this one i've got here luchanera which means like dark knight
but uh oh sorry dark light and it it it really complements that spiritual florentino and it has a slightly softer um once again like maybe some very smoothish undertones the not only the projection people you know the syage
you think mufti don't know these things you know as you one is how the perfume projects yeah so it has this kind of loudness to it um these two definitely strong projection uh but then there's this yag effect this kind of trail so as you in your after uh path the effect you leave behind and they have a very strong ciage to them as well i felt um but there's so many i mean um the that this is why i'm saying i've not been as impressed ever with the house as i have with tisiana terenci um
they they're worth in and i've really like as well i mean these are just wow honestly they are unisex but i find them more on the masculine side of things um for i don't know if the women's things have all the feminine ones really have appealed to me in that sense but um i'll say a word on uh a brewery word on mfk maison francis kirkshaw people that's a household that
um i think some things they've made are wow um obviously baccarat rouge but also the um gentle fluidity it's really fascinating the gentle fluidity gold is and that is actually unisex and i think both men and women could pull it off pull it off well i mean like even on a man it would smell you know it has this very smooth vanilla kind of but um
but still not like as in on a woman it would be feminine but i think on a man it would still somehow carry off the masculinity and i think that's a testament to the the the genius behind it so yeah do check that out i'll take a brief note on that the gentle fluidity did you know that they used the exact same ingredients for silver and gold but they just varied the quantities and they smell so different so if you try uh gentle fluidity you know mfk francis cox silva
it's nice it's it's more masculine but very soft not doesn't have much projection not much siage kind of thing but but nice i don't know if you'd pay that much for it to be honest but um but then the gold is just epic you know it's like wow and it's the exact same ingredient ingredients just they've altered the quantities and that shows you how intricate this art of perfumery is
so i thought uh i'd share some of that uh toxic masculinity perfume what's toxic masculinity um tonka beans yeah of who of dior's right i have smelt but i've forgotten what i will once again um what do you think about effing fabulous yeah i i would give effin fabulous like a 6.5 out of 10.
it's nothing special but it's it's nice when it came out it was about 700 pounds a bottle just way hyperinflated so right let's uh um somebody said uh francis kirkshaw's a la rose for women hmm i'm not sure if i've smelt that one i'll i'll have to follow that up um how expensive are you perfumes yeah perfume sky i have a passion for perfume you understand so
whatever one has a passion for you can't put a price on it but obviously somebody said creative and creative interest look till today it is my number one credo ventus is my number one but s and on number one i've got two i've got two perfumes that are both on number one beat that people one slightly above the other and that is the mali zlatan demali's layton it has a slight edge over juventus but both of them are just amazing amazing people
both both of them demarlies layton is not actually that popular but it is epic i i love it i mean and very few things beat creative enters so and these i would have to put on number two um but yeah that's uh so let's move on people my guy mufti are you gay [Laughter] and what abandon all this divine beauty that allah has placed in the feminine form on the on his green earth such blasphemy
[Laughter] right so stop this bs please mufti stop this man this one let's move on people let's move on shall we do a uh saran osman likewise likewise allah bless you man all right so give us your thoughts about the muslim leader
alright so mufti saab you will be doing a detailed design analysis on the return of jesus i like the way i'm being told what i'll be doing is that how it works so mufti tell us about dodge coin oh people crypto has gone off the it's it's rocketed people the whole thing the bull run is it is on nitro boost so i hope uh you know many of you are
benefiting from that but do keep it um keep it you know keep it sensible keep it sensible but yeah have your little risk assessment management going on but yeah it's it's huge if if you haven't checked your wallets if you are on crypto check your wallets it's going to be you've probably just had so many more thousands just you'll be like [Laughter] right so right so somebody said i think it's pronounced doggy oh is it do i've been saying dodge
coin unless they say doge who cares it's a joke it's a joke coin anyway that's just been hyperinflated right so what is going on people what is going on poetry you know what people have asked me mufti sub arabic poetry so the other day i was listening to some just going through it again after so long on youtube and i thought you know what let's share a snippet with with me with my people out there so this is uh yeah
