How Montale and Mancera stayed off the list is a minor miracle.
Because they are hated for no reason. Just because they are not Creed or PDM. They are offering the best bank for your buck in terms of scent, performance and 120ml bottle size (Mancera). But each to their own, for sure
@@sherifelserty9549 yea I have no clue how the hype/hate trains start, but they are certainly ubiquitous in this world of fragrance.
@@sherifelserty9549I haven't found 1 mancera scent that is signature worthy
Mancera fragrances suit women better
@@sherifelserty9549Creed gets a lot of hate and people who wont differentiate between the scent itself and the pricing as a seperate issue. A lot of mancera fragrances are very synthetic. So are montales. I guess that is the reason for the hate but also the saving grace. Here is why I think so: I go noseblind to modern Creed reformulations a lot faster than to old batches. I think the reason is at least partially the substitution of natural ingrediends with new and often synthetic replacements.
Probably the most fun fragrance guy to watch on KZhead. I love his videos
Foreal!
YSL Y , crazy thing about it is I had a test spray at the beginning of my shopping trip , loved it , went back and brought 100ml before I went back to the car . Wore it the following weekend and made me gag !! Never wore it since
I completely understand the initial hate for Light Blue Intense, But it truly becomes fantastic after a couple wears/airs out.
I go with Profondo as it doesn't dry down to any semblance of sweat/bo/seaweed/salty eggs on my skin.
I like it myself, but I do understand the comparison to body odor. I choose not to wear it on the chance that others think it's BO 😂
If you think you completely understand, and then you say: "but after a couple of wears..." you actually don't understand. Likely you are not catching the rotten egg / offputting smell in it
@@raulsaavedra709 Actually, I was contemplating returning it becuz the rotten egg smell is exactly what came off to me & I thought I hated the fragrance, But after awhile it became extremely pleasant.
@@7EVSaysNot for me. Have re-smelled it several times over the years, both on paper strips and on my skin. To my nose always something simply bad smelling in it
That second guy coping about BR540 is gold. 🤣
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
Great video Ash. Thanks for including me. Loved your inclusion of that crazy scene from Seven in there! 🤘
OFG is incredible juice, i cant believe how anyone cldnt love it. All opinions though
12:29 “ the inverse happens “ yup I can relate , Montblanc explorer , hated it and had to wash it off
As always wonderful stuff Ash keep it up.... Trinidad Fan in the house
Ash you made my day man. Truly appreciate all your hard work sir. Keep safe
Dislike myself but everyone else around me loves: Dylan Blue.
I concur smells like a bar of soap that fell in some moss
@@bananaman6324nah, it bangin
Im glad sauvage elixir made the list, I thought i was the only one in the world that found it un pleasant. Since it gets soo much hype by reviewers
Hype= Johnny dep I hate sauvage too
I'm not a fan either. I blind bought it and haven't worn it in public Single time lol. I might try it during the holidays this year during some really cold weather. The opening is terrible to me. Just so much nutmeg and it's so overpowering. As it drys down it does get better though.
When you do reviews please also include the season in which the fragrance would be best suitable for
to me... versace eros smells like wd-40 😅
I have many of the household items describing these scents. Going to make my own fragrances now.
Hello mate, Great review indeed, thx, Have an amazing day with your family. Cheers
😂😂😂😂 muy buen video , me encantó lo de los clones , felicidades
Body chemistry is very interesting there are some people they say 10% of the population who cilantro tastes like soap too. And I can see the same thing happening with certain fragrances. Chemistry is a cruel mistress! Lol
As a kid growing up with actual soap in the mouth, I can't agree with peoples cilantro comparison. But I definitely am one of then 10% who gets a weird, horrible taste from cilantro. And I totally agree on the scent / chemistry comment. Soooo subjective and so very personal
Halloween man X .. Is about the last frag I’d expect to see on this list . Bleu de Chanel … bicycle, stripey, whaaat ? You could have some crazy association with practically anything. Which is nothing to do with the actual scent itself. Curious. Cheers Ash - love the decor by the way .. very swish . Sometimes entering stage left .. sometimes right. Sometimes rising up from behind the counter. Have you thought about just dropping in from above …. Not sure how you’d actually achieve that, but it would something new , and entertaining - depending on the .. velocity of your descent 😬 food for thought 💭 🥂👍🏴
thank you I agree with you 100%
That Sauvage Elixir comment was crazy specific but I can see where he's coming from. I been realizing i LOVE that licorice vibe
This would be a great collection. Minus the wanted edp and light blue
I'm so curious where these people live that they smell *insert fragrance here* everywhere. It is extremely rare that I walk through a scent trail in my small town.
Same… I never smell any fragrance anywhere So yesterday I smelled sauvage in the gym.. first time And in a birthday party I smelled invictus.. guy took a bath on it I guess since I did not smell any other fragrance But these are rare ocasions..
I’m not sure I’ve ever smelled another man’s cologne in my adult life, honestly, but I think my sense of smell is under-developed.
@@DeflatingAtheism I smell here and there.. but it’s rare.. I could smell one million in one party.. invictus in another.. but it’s like 1 person on each party.. maybe they bath in fragrance before going
Hey Ash, based on my experience it seems as if the rotten eggs smell in some aquatic fragrances has to do with how they are stored. I tested Bvlgari Aqva Atlantique in a store and loved it, bought it and upon my first wear that rotten egg smell popped up. I realize that in the store the temperature is much cooler than my home. Same thing happened with Bentley Momentom Unlimited, however when the temperatures got cooler the rotten egg smell was gone from it. Maybe this is a phenomenon a fragrance connoisseur like yourself can shed some light on for us. I love aquatics but out of fear that they get that rotten egg smell I avoid them & stick to citruses for warm days.
Are we going to consider Amber + Smoke by Michael Malul a BR 520 type fragrance (almost a clone)? just wondering because I never owned a BR 540 clone or the OG but I had this for a couple of days and its growing on me, and yes I get Olfactory fatigue after a while wearing this.
The one scent that I totally hate after purchasing it full retail years ago is Gucci Pure Homme II. I had a sample from one of the little paper inserts that you open and sniff, and loved it at first sniff. Once I got the full presentation, I hated it after the first couple of times wearing it. To add insult to injury, a guy on my job starting wearing the heck out of the stuff, I hated to see the dude coming. I think I actually trashed the bottle. I see an ad attempting to sale a bottle on eBay for 750.00. WHAT!! you could not give me that cat puke. Thanks for the time that you spend making these videos. By the way, picked up the Ferragamo Spicy Leather, definitely will be rocking this one, very nice.
Mannnnnnn I’m not trying to waste a single dime. If I can smell it for free (in the mall) I do. I’ll visit the mall 3 to 4 times to do a skin test, and that’s before I even buy a decant. I buy a full size only AFTER I’ve emptied a 5mL to make sure I really LOVE it. I know me. I’ll find something better in 6months and stop wearing my new $170 bottle. I seriously stick to decants looking for something that I just can’t go without…. A MUST HAVE, and even then I’m still slower to pull the trigger. So far I’ve only found 2 fragrances I’d pay full retail for, but they exceed my cost per bottle limit. of $201 so for those 2 I’ve opted for the clones.
Thanks Ash! I bought the hype with light blue eau intense. On me it smelled like bad body odor.
BR 540 smells ok, my main issue is the cost. It kind of smells like being in the department store fragrance section, almost like that random collection of scents put together... smells fine enough but not worth hundreds of dollars at retail.
When I was new to fragrances I also thought Light Blue Eau Intense smelled like rotten eggs but now it's one of the best summer fragrances I own
Oud for Glory was shockingly bad for me when I got it after hearing all of the hype. I wear it sometimes before bed but never in public. I'm trying to learn to appreciate some of the things that I'm not use to. When you got to D&G Light Blue, I've never worn this particular fragrance but most aquatics give me the funky egg smell. The worst was Missoni Wave, straight rotten eggs. Some fragrances give me that egg smell but it fades after the drydown (Fakhar, Hawas, Tre Nuit Lyric, Hyati, 9 a.m. Dive). It doesn't go away with Nautica Voyage or Eternity Aqua. I don't get any funky egg smell with Armaf Sillage or Azzaro Chrome and I think both have sea notes. I also don't think I'm a fan of rose fragrances. I have a clone of Oud Satin Mood and that smells like vanilla rose and reminds me of old lady. One more that stinks is Midnight Oud which is a clone of Amouge Interlude. I mostly smell the pimento I think it's weird and nasty.
Agree with Oud For Greatness! Very weird smelling, got the decant for the hype also
Idk why people talk about it like it’s God’s creation 🤣
Yo! Are you gonna cover the new valentino uomo?really curious to see how the new one stack up
LB Eau Intense is all about the dry down. The dry down is great
BR540 had to grow on me. I think some of the clones smell better than the real thing. But I would compare it to Hennessy, it’s horrible yet everyone claim to like it 😂
Hennessy is terrible
I've not got round to smelling enough to identify this but here in Germany there is a note I smell ALL THE TIME. If someone is on the back of the bus, you can smell it as soon as you get on. A waiter wore it in a restaurant and the moment you step in to the building, you can smell it. In large groups of people like the many festivals we have here, you can smell it from a mile off. Its like a sort of vinegary woody smell. I don't know if it is one fragrance in particular or if it is just a popular note.
Ash do a video on the Maison Alhambra line of clones for pdm line!!!
Can you Show us the best Plum fragrances for men? Would love that.
its le male le parfum for me. got a headache within the first 30 seconds
Baccarat 540, I've tried the original and at least 4 clones and for me - for every one, even a home diffuser scent, my nose goes blind to it in LITERALLY 3 seconds. Re-spraying does nothing cause my nose doesn't know how to "nose" with Baccarat after the first 3 seconds. Also Sauvage Elxir reminds me of my father's signature Calvin Klein Obsession. It gives me that same "wealthy man" vibes that loves to choke you with his scent. Who ever dislike Bleu de Chanel it must of been the EDT, cause the EDP or better the Parfum are a no brainer any time anywhere easy reach for me. EDT smells like someone is smoking next to me so my 5oz bottle of it is still full.
We do hate some fragrances.. then we sell before even trying hard.. So maybe that is the problem.. you should try couple of times.. in diff months.. sometimes you Start enjoying it But yeah.. I am guilty in that as well.. sold some fragrances just after trying 1 time only
Tuscan Leather by TF. I understand it smells like the interior of a Porsche in 2006 with the windows down in 90 degree weather, but I don't think people are supposed to smell like that lol. It was not worth. Much regret.
WAIT not a clone VIDEO 😳 😅
Clone videos are the most interesting imo
I don’t watch them personally but I totally get why Ash releases them as they seem to bring a lot of views
Tomorrow. Tomorrow
This is now a clone channel
@@Haitham_el10 thanks for sharing
8:50 That description of Sauvage Elixir sounds deliciously epic not gonna lie xD
I completely agree about Halloween X. I got a decant and I hated. It has a great open for two seconds and then it's awful
LBI is great. People just have bad skin lol. Got great compliments on it. But after trying Hawas and some other sweet and citrusy frags i barely use LBI anymore.
I agree with Sauvage Elixir. I bought it and returned it two days later.
Just got a sample of oud for greatness, did not like the first spray on my arm, will try again
Just had a really long day. Really needed this. Anyone here have any fragrances that make you relaxed and help you unwind?
Mont Blanc Starwalker and Guess 1981 for men.
Dior Bois D’Argent. On my skin it smells like a soft white chocolate cuddle. It’s lovely. 👍🏻
The Exclusive Tobac… seems like the one that would bring you the most joy.
I was crossing my fingers for " Drakkar Noir" the whole time. I don't think Ash could take it.
Guess what guys! I got my first niche fragrance finally. I need some homies to to get hyped with me since no one around me cares about Xerjoff Naxos 😂
Nice! Hope you’ll be happy with your purchase :)
Nice! It is my favorite fragrance.
LoL congratz, I'll SOTD that to join you.
@@dhui2974 Thank goodness I have my online fragrance buddies. The general public just doesnt get it 😂 enjoy smelling awesome gentleman
Mancera instant crush trassssh too
please try the new rasasi hawas ice
Thankfully I am using Lanvin eclat d'arpege pour homme...and it's not overhyped...not even hyped! Not a fan of ME fragrances....and I never had or I have one...never a fan of Dior Sauvage and all the intenses extremes and elixirs 😅
Things I noticed in regards to preference. There is appeal to enthusiasts, connisseurs, and those in know and there is appeal to the ignorant masses. There is a big divide there. Once it goes from air to body chemistry there is another great divide. Then it becomes YMMV. Are there any that are truly despised in general by all? Yes. The ones that are in the clearance bin give away status and in the garbage. Everything else is subjective, eye of the beholder, and POV.
I always thought Versace noir and afnan supremacy smelled better than oud gor greatness. Never cared to much for d&g light blue but i love Moschino's version of it.
Hilarious video 😂👍🏻
For Summer try H24 , for Fall try Encre Noir & for Winter TF ombre Leather , you won't need nothing more .
H24 is boring and average at best. Step your scent game up bud
Ombre Leather swept me off the floor. I have a decant of it. I just bought a clone of it rare carbon
can you do a video on "liquid silver" by S1CK
i used to consume this banana protein powder that tasted not so great but had a decent formulation, a couple months later i tried oud for greatness in a store and realised that it smells just like the protein powder so i couldnt really get over the odd connection especially since the scent would remind me of the flavor wich i didnt like
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Ashton you're really funny have you ever thought about professional comedy like Acting? Trinidad Fan in the house...
I bought 200ml of light blue eau intense as it was on offer for a great price. The first time I used it I had a blinding headache, however I persivered, and having toned down the sprays, I now love the stuff. I can understand that it's not for everyone though.
The headaches are horrible
same to me with OFG.... y wash for 1 hour... is something that smell bad for me... i have Haltane of PDM and no problem with this... is my favorite now...
lattafa khamrah, i just absolutely hate cinnamon however i do love some fragrances with cinnamon notes like ultramale ,boss bottled ,le male and sauvage elixir. i am so confused
I just finally got a chance to smell Bleu de Chanel a few days ago at Sephora and was disappointed. Going to give it another chance tho as I had already tried about 5 different testers before I sw the bottle of Chanel. They need a bowl of coffee beans in there to smell in between fragrances.
Your are not alone, I tested it a couple times on skin and everytime I think Oh this scent I don't like it, lol after a bit. However I really enjoy OFG.
It’s the most ordinary scent on the market. I don’t understand why it’s so beloved because the smell is not unique at all.
@@UpTopFlameSomething gets generic only when everything smells like that. So if its the OG smell of that style, I guess, everything else could be counted as generic
Yeah I get where you’re coming from. Smells fine. In the bland “fine” way. Nothing more, nothing less.
Thanks guys. I guess I expected something more. I knew a lot of women who had Chanel No 5 & my mum had a couple other Chanels that really made an impression. I guess that was what I was expecting. Still gonna go back & try it on skin but not expecting much now
I hate Santal 33, and tobacco vanille.. I bought 10ml decants of these and ended up giving them to one of my buddies
I like the smell of Sauvage elixir I got a bottle last Christmas but I thinks way to strong for me it just gets annoying after a while it’s just screaming the entire time you wear it and it doesn’t go away.
How was Mont Blanc Legend not in here? I have a bottle, and it stands as a testament to never blind buy. Smells like the mall. Food court, and all.
You're literally the only person I have ever heard say that
It wasn't on here because I commented it in the original post, and my choices never get picked. lol
Light blue intense did grow on me after a few months of purchasing it but at the beginning I hated it so much
I don't know, maybe I'm just dating myself but I still like the old style scents like Paul Sabastian Fine, Giorgio for men Giorgio Beverly Hills, Yardley Gentleman Classic and I get complemented on these every time I go out wearing any of them. The other modern stuff not so much. However Milestone Red Cherry and Terre Bella Roza by Gapardis gets a lot of complements as well. And yes I know that Bella Roza is a women's rose fragrance but I like it. My wife and I just don't seem to like the more modern smelling scents. But for those that like them, Rock On. By the way I truly enjoy this channel, lots of fun.
No! I'm Danny Bell!
I would say Ormond Jayne Man disappointed me the most of any of my recent blind buys. I mean I get it, it has a great piney and unique classically masculine note, but it does seem overly synthetic to me. Now this is only after one spray. I am going to give it a second change of course.
BR540 … I hate the smell … so sweet for me
😮Haven’t been subscribed. whatttt!
ambra calabria ....tho I guess it wasnt super hyped ...but ive seen a few youtubers rank it pretty high in the nishane line and i really dont understand why.
For Armaf Sillage! I get a headache🤯
How can you hate Bleu de Chanel ? Literally the most inoffensive and mass appealing fragrance ever created
Because if it doesn't have notes of Tahitian sea coral and cosmic moon dust frag snobs will tell you why you are wrong for liking it.
Im really a frag lover with designers and niche. And I really want to have bdc in my collection since it’s just a classy. But I’m just not a fan of it and do not like it at alle and I smelled it so many times
I had to give mine away my gf hates it I love it
BR540 is 100 percent a women's perfume. Eros smells terrible. Invictus can be completely forgotten.
DG Italian Love. The grapefruit in the opening absolutely gagged me. But to be fair....I hate grapefruit.
Love the Sauvage Elixir description. Not a fan of that spicy Christmas smelling cologne.
I don't know why, ,(i don't think the frangance is bad)but blue de Chanel for me never worked...
I get the yager talk
Heavensblade 100 friggen nailed that smell of Sauvage Elixir! 🤣👍
I can understand the jägermeister elixir take :D
Bin juice is always a lovely beautiful smell 😂
Danny Bell wondering why royalties suddenly went up
Azzaro wanted by Night, The most wanted are terrible and I just cant stand them... synthetic, cheap, headache
Eros flame, It literally makes me gag any time I smell it. I bought it as a blind buy and don't even know what to do with it.
We just all have different taste.
And i cant stand creed mileaime imperial. That salty note is way to prominent, and mixed with melon and other notes makes its very annoying and weird smelling, like oversalted food which starts to rotten
people crazy OFG is amazing
I almost did a blind buy on one of Ash's favorites: Nishane Sultan Vetiver. Tried it in the store and immediately wanted to wash it off. All I could think was "this terrible smell is on my body!".
BR540 is the most overrated scent on the market. I can’t stand the smell of it
I blame Ariane Grande lol
If I had to pick one .. and , bearing in mind - they are all someone’s favourite. But it’d have to be Le Male . I’d have to hide the bottle behind another too. The elixir Le male sounds nice , and the presentation is better. Yes - I’ve just realised I’m a fragrance snob 🤔🫣🫢 but I do like cheapies , and own blue stratos ( vintage of course ) , Brut, Mandate , even some Calvin Kleins, and Paul Smith extreme Which I hide. But I do quite like the stripey bit on the side. ( it’s not very extreme either ) cheers Ash 🥂 and cheers to all you frag heads out there 🍻🍹🥂
Wouldn't that be the reverse, not the inverse?
I actually really like Oud for Greatness. Extremely over-priced. But I like it.
I got the clone - oud for glory. I concur its gross and unwearable.
I sold Oud for Glory from Lattafa. Not for me
I get the egg from light blue intense too. I also get the same thing from Allume Homme Sport. I absolutely hate aqua di gio profondo. I get no pleasant smell from it at all. It has this bitter, wet paper like smelI. I can't fathom why it's so popular, I've smelled it 4 or 5 times. Hate it. I love Sauvage Elixir, I'll go smell it for no reason sometimes. Aventus creed smells like it should be cheap to me. It smells like some designer perfume. I don't dislike it, but I don't like it. Love silver mountain water.
