What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth reviews perfumes and names Creed Aventus and Layton as his joint favourites.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth turns to perfumes and presents what he calls his joint number one fragrances, the Creed Aventus and Parfums de Marly Layton [?], and describes Layton's notes: a fruity opening of mandarin and lavender, soft floral middle notes and base notes of vanilla, soft woods, cardamom and patchouli. He says it is masculine rather than flowery and conquers but with love, and responds to viewers' comments and requests for reviews. He mentions Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Baccarat Rouge as brilliant for women and compares the silver and gold editions of Gentle Fluidity [?], which use the same ingredients in different proportions, saying the gold is warm and sensual while the silver is not value for money.

42:10

[laughter] I love it. Honestly, it really it makes my day, you know? I I read this. People send it to me sometimes and I'm like, "What?" [laughter] They're like, "Oh, why? Where? I want to know why. Why?" So, but it's all it's all good. It's all good. Right. So, people speaking. Ah, right. Speak. [laughter] world to add a bit more you know speaking of passions and I've spoken of perfumes previously people right here ah

42:48

yeah this one's for Gangutelli full metal you're doing it right this people can you see this here zava you just subscribing you're doing it you're doing it this has to be my number one fragrance. Honestly, number one

43:16

on my number one, I have two. [laughter] You know what it is? Allah says, you know, we created everything in pier. So, my number one has two on there. And the two are I've mentioned previously obviously the all-time classic Creed Avengers, but believe it or not, this has a slight edge above Creed Avengers, but they're both number one.

43:42

This is from the House of Demali. Demali and it's Damali's Leighton. It's not the exclusive. There is a uh right just this is freezing, right? This somebody said Leighton sucks. Oh my god, that is like borderline. That is like uh [laughter] that is like blasphemy. Honestly, this right.

44:08

So people's man people's man KSO man K says so. Seriously, you have to look at the elegance. Honestly, this is so you know if I use the real words to describe it, it'll become a scandal. [laughter] Wow, it's powerful. You know, it comes out. It's not it's not powerful like in uh in its kind of uh presence like that.

44:36

I just mean it has a an alluring powerfully alluring presence to it. It does have a seage. This kind of what it leaves behind. its notes right are it does have uh it has you see it's a bit there's its opening is slightly kind of um I don't know fruity it's got a bit of that kind of mandarin a bit of lavender to its opening but it it does have and it has a slight uh a soft a touch of floral middle kind of notes to it but what comes through

45:14

are the base notes Right. And they will be vanilla. It has this vanilla presence just how uh Creed Aventus does as well, but there's some kind of wood, sandalwood. There's a woody kind of note, but a soft woody note. Cardamom, pachuli, a bit of pachuli in there. Um, it is honestly it is it is sublime.

45:37

Um, but it it I I mean I dep I guess it depends on um what you're into. But for me that is definitely the number one. It's it's soft but boldly present but it's soft at the same time. It's not like it's not like udi or that kind of like a harsh brazen kind of fragrance. It's something which it just conquers but with love.

46:08

Allah. So definitely I have to I had to mention that. I thought since I could just see in the background we'll do this one another time people another this is me Francis Kan people but a gentle fluidity but that's also epic but different. Let's just leave it to one for today man for today. So look at that people saying I don't I don't like creed aventist

46:39

ya [laughter] [laughter] may the lord have mercy on you. All right. So Right. So can I review some others? Sure. Send me some uh um any perfumes you want me to review. Sure. just send let me know and I'll review them. I love Somebody said I hate flowery. I hate I I I'm not a fan of flowery fragrances for for men.

47:07

I I don't like that at all. This does not come across flowery at all. It It has a strong It has a woody yet vanilla soft kind of uh presence to it. So, it's just it it's masculine. It's not feminine. Although they do make them kind of like unisex, but really it's a masculine. It's really a a men's kind of perfume. But yeah, it's it's a done deal.

47:37

Put it like that. [laughter] Samjak Janamj. You understand man? This one it done deal. Okay. So right and this one man uh hearty momo mui keep strong and safe man shukan man shukan I may not agree with all your views and you don't need to you don't need to that's not uh look at this quite a few perfume fans have come out right

48:16

Uh Francis Mesa Francisco Jean is the best hands down. It is some some things powerful. MFK um Bakar Rouge is is is is brilliant for women. Um and this gentle fluidity I love it. It's this is actually kind of unisex but really I find it more uh still on the men's side.

48:42

Um, and I'll speak about that differently on another time because what they did with that gentle fluidity, you've got the silver and gold edition. And it's amazing that they use the same same ingredients, people. Spot on. But what they did is they altered the the the kind of quantity of the ingredient. So, it's the exact same essence but with altered measurements and they produce two radically different fragrances.

49:14

And both are nice. Both are I mean both are you see the silver is good but I don't know if really I would recommend it based on its price because you know you'll be spending about 200 quid for that bottle and it's nice. It's good, don't get me wrong, but it's not I don't feel it's value for money in that sense because for that, you know, you could easily pick up something much better.

49:39

But the gold like this one, um, wow, that that that's very sensual, very warm, sensual, and leans on I feel it's more for men, but they describe them as unisex. Um, but yeah, I do like that. But the silver is good, but it doesn't really make that it doesn't make the the top league. Cool. People people and Leighton.
