"A beautiful fragrance to the nose is like good jazz music to the ears, great food to the mouth, and Megan Fox and Jessica Alba to the eyes..."
threadstarter failed by not mentioning Marc. Robes08 is the best youtube reviewer, bar none.
Hiro is 2nd...
Canada>>>>
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.
SEEKING BOTTLES OF:
Aramis New West (preferably old bottle)
Patrick by Fragrances of Ireland
Azzaro Aqua
Gloria by Cacharel
PM me if you have bottles that you're willing to sell or trade!
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.
Mine's our very own Kerosene![]()
Katie
Marc
Dan
Julio
Theresa
Miguel
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.
Marc (robes08), Julio (NYFragranceBlog), Brandon (CutlassSupremeSL) and Kerosene are definitely the best. I also enjoy watching 959Lover's reviews - dude is hilarious!

Most of the time I am very proud of the Basenotes community. Time after time I have witnessed the thoughtfulness, empathy & genuine friendship that members of this community extend to others - oldtimers & newcomers alike. There are other times, however, when egos get the upper hand and civility goes out the window. My philosophy is that I won't say anything here that I would not say if you were standing in front of me. Welcome to Basenotes, each and every one of us. ~ TwoRoads
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.

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
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.
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...
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![]()

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.

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
"Time to take another instant bath" - dad
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.
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.
