Your favourite Youtube reviewer

post #1 of 130
Thread Starter 
There are a number of fun to watch reviewers on Youtube. Remembering that on such a medium going into too much detail could be counterproductive.

I like Mashu, Ashkan, Tim, JRWriter, Julio.

But by far the best is........ dynamite Dennis (bouncerhiphop)!

Miguel is my favourite followed closely by Brandon
post #5 of 130
Can't remember his name, but the eccentric one - the one who reviews a million in a minute and who butchers the names.

I don't watch any anymore but the ones by Kerosene were ones I like. He's got great lines and knows how to have fun with words and descriptions.
post #7 of 130
I have a massive amount of respect for anybody who puts themselves forward to do Youtube reviews. Marc is the Daddy and one of the main reasons for me getting into this hobby in the first place. I also REALLY love watching Dan (mymickers). He started collecting not long before me & he seems like the kinda guy i'd like to go for a beer with!

I don't really bother with Youtube reviews; most of them take too long getting to the point, and I typically prefer the written word.

The lone exception is my man

Katie is the ruling queen of YT fragrance reviewers,
she has no competition whatsoever ... IMHO!

I also like our very own Kerosene, and I simply
adore Ariscotm (aka Theresa), she is sooo cute:

'I look naked! I'm wearing clothes, I'm so wearing clothes!'

I just watched this.

The review rather plods at times, but she makes up for it with intermittent cussing and a conspicuous lack of inner monologue.

Yeah, it's not her best review.
I just thought the beginning
was so sweet!

Check out her channel, she
really is a good reviewer, and
always cute and cussing, and
sometimes says the most funny
random things!

post #14 of 130
Katie , Marc , Teresa , Dan , Patrick , Will , Kerosene , Miguel , Cubby , Dustin , Joey and his mom ( who is hilarious ) , Johnathan , dkmode , Tim , Julio ... the list goes on , love and appreciate what they do . I think they do a great job
post #15 of 130
Brandon too of course (not seen him mentioned).
post #16 of 130
Katie Puckrik



and

mkousui/mashu/Matthew




These two are very straight to the point, charismatic and very passionate about perfumes;-))))
post #17 of 130
Katie Puckrik and Kerosene !
post #18 of 130
I've enjoyed all that I've seen.....

Two that come to mind are Ash, for his frentic style, and Kerosene for his chill humor.
post #19 of 130
My faves are Katie, Kerosene, and the guy from Japan (mkousui/mashu/Matthew).

+1. Katie by the length of the straight.
post #21 of 130
The reviews I've agreed with the most are Brandon's. Mark does a good job and his fragrance selection is the best. Although I couldn't believe he gave 1 million a 10 out of 10.
post #22 of 130
Speaking of Ash, you forgot this one. Watch in the beginning how he tosses his head side to side. Chemical imbalance would be my guess.
post #23 of 130
once i get out of school in late may it will be me!!

just kidding. there are alot of great reviewers out there. i appreciate all of them
post #24 of 130


This guy is just sexy as hell , I don't even care what he reviews
post #25 of 130
Though Katie P is good, I am not a fan. (she's too "professional tv reviewer" for my tastes - that's a horrible way to describe what it is that annoys me, it's a "personal problem" <mine>...) Ash is a sweetie, Kerosene's are really fun... but my favorite is Teresa and her frank and quirky reviews... I always giggle when a scent takes her by surprise and she curses. (I suppose I'm a child at heart.)
post #26 of 130
Not a fan of Puckrick at all...comes across as thinking she's funny and hip...not even close.
post #27 of 130
Dynamite Denis 4 life.
post #28 of 130
You guys need to watch " hiroyoruzuka " you will fall out of your chairs. Check his review on Musc Ravageur !

He's great.
post #31 of 130
1. Marc (Robes08)

Another reviewer with a lot of knowledge and eclectic taste is Isaac, http://www.youtube.com/user/TheSickman1977

Guinea is great if you want some humor, http://www.youtube.com/user/Guinea54

Miguel, MyMickers, JR Writer, Kerosene are also good; among others

post #37 of 130
threadstarter failed by not mentioning Marc. Robes08 is the best youtube reviewer, bar none.


Hiro is 2nd...



Canada>>>>
post #38 of 130
In all seriousness, though, I do like Kerosene and Marc (robes08). Kerosene is very laid-back and relate-able while Marc can actually pronounce fragrance terms correctly.

Katie Puckrick is nice and all, but I have to be in the mood to watch her.
post #39 of 130
I think Dan (MyMickers) is probably the best right now. If Isaac was running hot like he was in the beginning, he might still be top dog. But love the interplay with Dan and Amanda, and also the comments he gets at work.

+1 The whole combination of bouncer, girls who sit on his lap, and his affable Aussie vibe - he's awesome.

Mine's our very own Kerosene

post #43 of 130
I think Ash has done a total of 3 fragrance videos, and he is considered one of the top on Youtube. I think that is an incredible acheivement.
post #44 of 130
Marc (robes08), Julio (NYFragranceBlog), Brandon (CutlassSupremeSL) and Kerosene are definitely the best. I also enjoy watching 959Lover's reviews - dude is hilarious!

Hiro, Kerosene and Fragrance fanatic are my faves... Street Scents is awesome.
post #47 of 130
as for personal favorites,

I find Katie's professional, but only so useful. She's fun to watch but at the end of a video i'm not always quite sure what I've really learned.

I also find Theresa entertaining to watch and I suspect she has a natural talent in her nose. Could use a little editing but I love her all the same. hmmm, I wonder if she's single...

I find Julio is probably the most unrehearsed but somehow the experience seems so intimate. I really like his style and I think he conveys a good 'feel' of the frag.

can I admit to having a mancrush on cubby? he's just so cute (like in a good way). And pretty good reviews too.

Tim, well I think he does/did a lot of work for for the community but just not someone I related to.

Marc's stuff is very very well produced in terms of research, editing, etc. I think he puts in a ton of work and it shows, plus he's got such a big collection that he gets points for just covering a sheer volume of reviews. As a criticism, I think of late he's starting to just buy stuff that people want him to review and ends up summarizing all the major opinions/reviews before him instead of what he thinks. Even listing off notes rather then what he's actually smelling.

I like JRWriter a lot but think he could make a major improvement, and that's getting to the damn point and doing some post filming editing.

Dan (Mickers), I don't know well enough yet to pass comment.

Dynamite Dennis is not my cup of tea at ALL. I'm not even sure I consider his vids reviews, but whatever.

ashkan's great!!! (959lover)

Will (Pegasis27) is super nice and does amazing value splits.

Kerosene's solid. Good work my man.
post #48 of 130
Ash.... this guy is actually years ahead of his time. His message is simple 'these scents have gotten me laid'

Ley Maley? Whatever, I'll take 2 of those, please.



Katie
Marc
Kerosene
Julio
post #49 of 130

You forgot www.youtube.com/user/FragranceFanatic1 His channel is really getting popular with the Street Scent series. He just printed off a bunch of t-shirts as well. They look really nice. The New York City skyline with fragrance bottles.
post #50 of 130
I think Julio and Marc are some of the best...I really enjoy Dave (dkmode) and Dan(mymickers) just because they're really cool guys...
post #51 of 130
Well shout out to Tim (tswetcoff) because his are the first fragrance reviews I stumbled upon on youtube. He doesnt post anymore but all his videos are still out there. I thought it was cool that a young guy like that was so into fragrances when I was first starting. In some ways he was ahead of his years though his tastes in some fragrances were more for the younger crowd.

I find Ashkan (959Lover) the funniest on youtube. I'm real glad to see him posting again.

I agree most with Brandon (CutlessSupremeSL) with the exception of his take on Creed. Otherwise his tastes are most in line with mine. He keeps it pretty real.

Guinea54 has gotten pretty funny too. His tribute vids and impersonations are pretty funny these days.

I like seeing Dan's (mymickers) enthusiasm and like seeing his interaction with his wife/fiance Amanda.

Dave (dkmode) has come along nicely and he got me hooked on L'instant de Guerlain (both versions)

Matthew (mkousui) got me to buy D&G By again after watching his review. His reviews are pretty informative.

Katie Puckrik (katiepuckriksmells) is kinda qwerky but I like her creativity and word play. She does a few male fragrance reviews and I have watched her take on some "feminine" ones I was curious about too.

Marc (Robes08) is the guy I go to for proper pronunciation and a grab bag of scents I likely would never hear of otherwise.

There are others I watch on occasion too.

I think it takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there and commend all of the reviewers for taking the initiative. I feel I know a little bit about each of you because of it in an odd way and respect the efforts of all of you. Thanks for adding to my quality web surfing

Shameless Marc!!!



As BradW pointed out... FragranceFanatic1. I love street scents.
And Bouncerhiphop! The dialogue between him and the camera man is hilarious.

Saw one by Hiro yesterday, I like his enthusiasm.
post #53 of 130
I'll have to make my way thru this listing thanks for posting these channels. So far:

+1 to Dynamite Denis; quickly gets to the point and he's downright funny.

+1 to Marc; for production value, camera and product placement.

+1 to Katie; what can I say she's a doll and she nose what she's talking about.

+1 to Dan; Dan 'looks' like some guy's I do go for a beer with and he's got a funny nervous laff.


toot-els!!!!

I hate youtube reviews of fragrances. Yuck. If we had a smelltube or something, that'd be great.

He's amazing."Another one I like is Joop!" Stop! Great review!
post #58 of 130
Ash = Gil Bellows:




And just so people don't think I'm trolling this thread, my favorite reviewers thus far are

1. Marc
2. tswetcoff
3. kirill19902
post #59 of 130
Julio started all for me, but haven't seen him lately.
Marc is very good and genuine, he's always happy
Ash is crazy I enjoy his videos.
Mashu is good two!
and I check Teresa and Jwriter every now and then.
Katie is sexy but I can't seem to learn about the fragrance from her.
post #60 of 130
I am very actively involved in the youtube fragrance community. I love it over there. There are dozens of very knowledgeable and amazing people over there. Many not on that list. More people should definitely come check it out.
