In this part of the video, the reviewers discuss different elements of two fragrances: the EDP (Eau de Parfum) and Boise. For the EDP, they describe the opening notes, which include black pepper, lavender, and bergamot, transitioning into a blend of tonka bean, vanilla, and other notes. They express a strong liking for its powdery, sweet, and slightly dark profile, noting it’s heavier and offers a beautiful combination of tonka bean and vanilla. The dry down is described as less sweet, more powdery, and slightly spicy, making it suitable for a date night.
Moving on to Boise, the opening notes include black pepper, geranium, and coriander, with a base of iris, cacao pod, and woodsy notes. They find Boise fresher, less powdery, with a touch of fruity sweetness and a bright, aromatic quality. The balance of woody and spicy freshness, along with the iris, makes Boise appealing to them, though it’s not as powdery as the EDP.

In this part of the video, the speakers discuss their impressions of several fragrances from a collection, specifically focusing on the “gentleman reserved pre-vape” with notes of bergamot, iris, chestnut, whiskey, woodsy notes, and amber. They appreciate its powdery and boozy opening, describing it as wonderful, elegant, and seductive. Both agree that while the scent initially lacks the fresh aromatic quality, it transitions into a dense, woody fragrance with a warm powderiness. The dry down is highly favored, being described as gorgeous and versatile, with one fragrance variant being more suitable for any occasion while the other is richer and more suited for specific, potentially colder, times.
