Is this a fragrance worth trying?
Good morning! Hope all is well. As for this post i’ve had this fragrance for a little over a week. So i’ve had some time to get to know it. It is important to me to approach this video as the average consumer., I’m a photographer, im a video creator for myself and others, I'm your average day to day person that’s big on self care. I like to dress nice and smell good. I’ve collected have several fragrances, Although I think it’s interesting I wouldn't consider myself a fragrance enthusiast. I can respect and appreciate the space. But I want to make this video from the average person and why they should or shouldn’t consider purchasing 2nd Soul.
Who is Justin Copeland?

First Impressions
It’s a beautiful presentation…
The story and creativity being this fragrance is conveyed through its packaging. 2nd Soul is the flanker to his initial parfum “Brass & Soul”. You can read more here about the inspiration behind 2nd Soul.
I'm not too familiar with all the notes and how they smell so I decided to use keywords on how it makes me feel. That’s why we reach for colonies and perfumes. They add on a layer to us, they make us happy and compliment our mood.
The initial words I would use to describe this fragrance is it is intoxicating and smooth. Fly and enjoyable. The opening is a bit bright but still feels intimate with some depth. The dry down gives me a bit of that fresh "out of the barber shop" kind of feeling. All around I really enjoy this fragrance.
When Would I Wear This Fragrance?
This can be a signature scent for the cooler weather. This doesn't need to be oversparyed. A good 2 or 4 sprays for my taste works just fine. Two behind each ear for a regular day to day wear usually. Otherwise this is a great date night fragrance. Cozy intimate statement piece. Also I can pull this off at work related functions. Networking events, on set, or even cafes for editing. All around a great fragrance for the cooler weather. The only place and time I wouldn't wear this to the gym and in the warmer weather.
Pros
It smell good, last long, and you won't smell like anyone else. The best pro for me is that it's a great price point for what you're getting from the product. The packaging, presentation, and the overall quality. This is not a cheap watered down fragrance nor does it smell like it. This is blind buy worthy.
Who is this fragrance for?
This is for a person who is sure of themselves. That person that garners the attention when they walk by without trying too.
I belive most of us wear fragrances because we like it and for the compliment factor. This fragrance is a bit more complex than that. I think it’s important to keep that in mind if you're coming from using your everyday designer fragrances. I have 3 niche fragrances. And love the journey they take and the story they tell first spary to hours later.
Final Thoughts
I dont have anything bad to say about 2nd soul. I love the idea behind it, the presentation, and it delivers with how it makes me feel. I think this is a true representation of everything justin intended it to be
