Top 8 Best Blind Buy Fragrances For 2023

It’s one thing to smell questionable after a workout. You can shower up, put on deodorant, and carry on with your day.

But if you smell questionable at a business dinner, or an awards celebration …

FORGET ABOUT IT.

Your first impressions won’t be as crisp, your interactions won’t be as enjoyable, and you may be on the outside looking in (quite literally!).

Smelling like nothing at all may be just as bad as a questionable smell, though.

It’s not enough to just avoid smelling bad or do the bare minimum by slapping on deodorant.

Gents, there’s a WORLD of colognes out there designed to enhance your smell, your confidence, and your interactions with others. Just a little cologne can go a LONG way in your popularity at dinner parties and in your performance at work.

My friend, Jeremy Fragrance, is a renowned expert in fragrance. Whether you’re looking to try a new cologne or purchase an elegant perfume for your wife, check out his YouTube channel to learn more about all things fragrance.

Jeremy and I have joined forces for this video, where we get into the subject of blind buying cologne. In the fragrance world, ‘blind buying' means buying a cologne before you've tested it on your skin – which is usually a big mistake, since cologne smells different on everyone.

In today's video you’ll learn about 3 fragrances you CAN safely blind buy.

And in today’s article, you’ll read about 5 situations where blind buying is the way to go for your fragrance needs.

Okay gents, let’s get right into it – the 5 times you SHOULD blind buy your cologne of choice.



Situation #1 – You’re New To The Cologne Game
I call this the “Pandora’s Box” factor.

With so many different types of notes and accords, the fragrance world can seem pretty daunting at first.

For those of you new to fragrance – notes are essentially the ingredients that make up the fragrance, and the accord is a balanced blend of several notes that creates the fragrance’s odor impression.



If you’re new to the cologne game, you simply don’t know what you don’t know. And that’s okay.


Instead of spending a ton of time trying on dozens of colognes and figuring out which one to wear and when to wear it, you can blind buy several small bottles of cologne to use over the next several months.

Cologne Pandora's Box
As you become more acquainted with these colognes, you can get a better sense of how they work for you and how others respond to your cologne of choice. And if you need more cologne samples to try out for a few weeks at a time, just blind buy a couple additional small bottles and work on building up your familiarity with cologne. Over time, you’ll be able to identify the notes you gravitate towards, which will help inform later fragrance purchases.



Situation #2 – Fragrance Experts Give You The Most Smell For Your Buck
I call this the “Authority” factor.

If you’re not very familiar with fragrances and don’t want to spend an excessive amount of time in selecting what cologne might work for you, you can defer to a fragrance expert and follow his/her sound advice.

This way, you’ll save time, select a great fragrance, and learn more about fragrances, over time, as you seek out an expert’s recommendations.



Situation #3 – You’re Not Able To Try The Cologne Before Purchase
I call this the “Convenience” factor.

If you live in a geographic area where you don’t have access to an adequate cologne selection, you’ll have to resort to blind buying over the Internet.

But that’s okay!

Sometimes you can acquire free online samples for your experimentation.
And if not, you can rely on your favorite notes to order a few cologne options that match your particular tastes. For instance, some people prefer a muskier cologne, whereas others prefer a more citrusy cologne.

Situation #4 – You’re In The Mood To Explore And “Spice Up” Your Cologne Collection
I call this the “Excitement” factor.

Most of us have favorite notes that we look out for when shopping for colognes.

There’s nothing wrong with relying on your favorite notes when selecting your fragrance.

However, there’s always room to expand your cologne comfort zone.

In fact, if you blind buy a few bottles of cologne with different notes and unfamiliar accords, you may come across a new scent that can give some flair to your next business outing or your upcoming date night.

I feel like Eros is kind of a polarizing scent that you should get a nose on before buying. It’s also not hard to sample cause it’s everywhere.

[choppchopp]

I blind bought azarro the most wanted and dolce gabana light blue intense

[Omarfagenherkul]

Blind bought a 30ml Dylan Blue and I didn't quite liked the first couple of sprays. Got back to it after around 3 days and it smelled much different. It smells really nice now. I'm looking forward purchasing the 200ml. Did anyone had that same experience with their Dylan Blue bottle?

Would not recommend spicebomb extreme anymore. It’s been reformulated post September 2022 batches and performance is less than half of what it used to be

[painkiller]

Modern formulations of Spicebomb extreme last less then 4 hours. Wouldn’t buy it unless you can get an older (pre 2020) batch

[abdullahtariq]

What’s up with Eros?? Is it actually good?? Bc I have one and it’s just mediocre and the longevity is very meagre. Very fresh ocean scent but hard to smell after an hour

[Clevelandsteama]

Allure home sport is literally gone after 2 hours, waste of $140

[CharlesHarrison-br]

Versace "Oud" is really good 👍 👌

[yasuke]

Blind buy safe generally means it’s generic, mid, overrated or mass appealing

[Joshwiththefries]

If I blind bought Eros I'd be pissed

[ayoub]

I already owned 7/8 of these, spice bomb is the only one i didn't get yet

[Truthbetold]

Allure home sport is a favorite. Miss Armani sports code tho.

[nicholasyang]

Don’t blind buy club de nuit. If you like fresh fragrance you are not gonna like it!

[LV.]

I never believed that you put Dolce Gabbana The One EDT-Version in. Its my favorite!!! ❤😂

[ayaanaliagha]

Could you make a video on all of the Valentino uomo lineup

[barcelomrozovic]

CDNIM EDT is definitely not a blind buy imo. Very harsh even past opening.
I can imagine somebody wearing this, but myself I struggle to find situations, where I would not mind smelling this abrasive

[nailbomb]

I know The One has alot of fans. Haven't tested much enough of it to form an opinion. But the rest are solid buys. Do not blind buy CDNI. It might not be for someone who only love blue fragrances.

How to check the batch of a fragrance when buying from online store?

[bryanolive]

Allure Homme worth buying for spring/summer? And is it really a safe blind buy?

[tfpp]

I did not like Allure…too powdery for me. However, I like Armani Code much better (reminds me of Allure in a way) and doesn’t smell powdery to my nose.
