“Alot has changed since 2019”
What an understatement 😂😂
I just started my fragrance journey. Having a collection of different scents for specific days/events is definitely a goal. Never thought I would be a guy interested in that.
Yeah I started mines going on 2 years now just know it can be addicting an can be expensive I have probably close to 30 bottles if not more now designer an niche
It becomes an obsession. Enjoy 🙂
6 months and 17 bottles later..... 😂🤣😂
@@sunnantariq723 it will get worse and more expensive mate haha
Hows the journey now?
Hey scents, gents here with ash friends
friends hey, here gents with scents ash
Hey with friends here gents ash scents
LOL
With friends, gents here , hey Ash scents.
Hey Ash, gents here with friends scent.
Instead of 10 cheapies, i think its just better to get 3 signature frag instead. 1 for day/office, 1 for night, 1 for date/clubbing
Absolutely
What are the recommended fragrances for those categories?
Agreed!
What 3?
4th one should be an 365 day fragrance for every occasion.
Coach for men smells amazing! That fragrance is why I started a collection. I used to just have 1 I would wear until it ran out, now I have 60 and still adding to the collection.
You get that platinum and blue... Makes up your whole seasons.. Im on that coach for sure! 🤙🏽
@@JIgsaw2120 I got platinum. I don't know why I haven't got blue yet but thats next on my list. Can wait to see coach for men EDP!!
What age group?
@@Anderson100. the platinum is the EDP bro !!
Awesome video and list Ash! Glad you mentioned The One Grey, as it’s so underrated. Loooove the added Vetiver in that one. 👍
this is an amazing idea and id love to see different reviewers take on this at different pricepoints. thank you so much for this
Thanks Ash. Another great video. I really love the combination here. Budget-based reviews make so much sense, because they reflect reality. I am also generally a fan of budget/high value fragrances. Finally, you expertly curated an assortment for the full spectrum of seasons and occasion types. Outstanding! Appreciate what you do!
I started watching you about 9 months ago just out of curiosity I have now spent nearly 3k on sent all recommended by you in fact I just had to go and order 360 red all I can say thanks you really helped me to start my collection and get some amazing fragrances
I love the psssh sprayer sound effects. Very ASMR for the senses. Thanks for the beginners guide and finally I am glad you got that sagging shirt collar issue squared away. 😜
What an awesome video idea! Thanks man, needed this
I am 6 months into collecting fragrances and have all of these except the joop, the one grey, and Burberry. Was happy to see 212 vip included because no one talks about it and I think it smells better than other club fragrances. I don't club but for a night when I know someone is going to get closer to me, i know that is a smell that will stay with them. Kind of makes me think of margaritas 🍹
This is the video that started my fragrance journey. I bought every one of these 10 months ago. I now own close to 200 fragrances. Thanks Ashton - lol
Thanks .. lol you clearly have a addiction and compensating for something that’s way to many in such a short time
Fantastic list great job Ash.
Enjoyed the list. You and TLTG scents got me to finally blind buy Halloween Man X, it's on the way. I'd add one here, A&F First Instinct which is $25 for 100 ml, this is spring, summer, fall daytime casual and banger gym scent and an absolute compliment monster. Women love this one, right up there with Sauvage, Eros, and La Nuit
Winter is back so rockin' John Varvatos Dark Rebel today.
The most solid reviewer out here😎👌💯
My pick cheap picks: Burberry Classic, Burberry Touch, Most Wanted, Halloween Man, Cremo Spice and Black Vanilla, Coach, Tres Nuit, Hugo Boss Man, Givenchy Pi, Eros. Honorable mention: Invictus, CK One and Obsession
Thanks for the tips Ash. I started my collection in late 2020..
Definitely the video I needed to see..!! And this is definitely the way I'm going right now, although I don't think I have experienced any of these fragrances..
dope video!! MUCH NEEDED
Great list I I got back into fragrances about a year and a half ago I think I own about seven of the ones you recommended.
Love the channel and great video
I already own Joop! Ice and when I saw you do the review on it I thought....Yo! This guys knows his fragrances...time to subscribe!
awsome video and great idea!
Its better to just get 4 fargrances like Night out : La Nuit de L'Homme Bleu Électrique YSL ,clubbing : Eros versace or JPG ultra male, Date night : Dolce&Gabbana The one EDP , and everyday fragrance : Dylan Blue from versace . Those 4 would do much better in my opion
I love wanted by night. Have plenty of niche but I find myself reaching for this one quite often
Burberry London in the UK reviewed as The Christmas scent in the US as The holiday scent . I must have a point but it slips my mind at the present time
Burberry London ....really wonderful
Scent number one: Nautica Voyage
The best of the drydown of Azzaro wanted is not invictus! is like david Beckham instinct in smother and bether. Check scorpio rouge out.
By the Yuzu grove is dope!
I spent about 250 and got The one edp Azzaro wanted by night Versace Eros flame Victorie intense (cheap invictus) and the og acqui de gio nautica voyage
I just did this same list review but for $300 and I listed a few of the same bottles you do. Awesome video!
@Totally Off Topic Fragrance Reviews hey, I appreciate that. I just started but I plan on pumping out more content! Thank you!
In 2022 Coach is not so afordable, almost triple value 😔. Great video man, thanks, very informative content!!
Great video especially with the stimulus in the US coming up 👍🏼
Bro I'm going to try and get all that which you mentioned.
All of perry ellis cologne are fire. White, red, green and black.
I have, Sauvage, Dylan Blue, Prada L'homme, YSL L'Homme, Armani code Profumo, Mercedez Benz Move.
I use a double edge safety razor and shave soaps with a brush so when I got my 360 red the smell was very familiar. Very clean and enjoyable and then it hit me, smells just like my Van Der Hagen shave soap puck.. i love the smell and when lathering up my shave brush with the soap it makes the scent pop and its very close to my 360 red. I love it, you can overspray 360 on yourself and clothes without it being too strong and it just smells like a clean natural soap.
Some compare it to Aqua Di Gio but i never had it so i cant compare.
When?
Perry Ellis Red is such a great fragrance.
Office Scent #1 for me and absolutely worth including: Montblanc Starwalker
Ch 212 vip has been reformulated to death just bought and had i before, it's a shadow of it's old self test before you buy.
Great video..... Count Ashula.
Changed your tune somewhat on Mont Blanc Explorer from a couple of years ago
Just started my collection just yesterday and my first day I spent a total of 600 dollars on 5 colognes😂 got a addiction and won’t stop any time soon
My 250 would go Wanted by Night(40), Invictus Legend (60), and Sauvage Elixir(150).
WBN for night outs and dates.
Inv. Leg. for day time errands an antics
Sauvage Elixir for events/ business/ doing the deed.
All 3 of these are potent and last for hours. Especially Elixir.
Too bad elixir is absolute trash.
@@spotos5154 idk about all that
This is brilliant. I’d also love to see a first $500 and $1000!
Past tour first 200 or so you have the unoffensive crowd pleasers and a sense of what pleases you so you start to buy based on the note breakdown
I'll do my list as well for fun
Terre d'Hermes edt 55
CDNIM edp 50
Wanted by Night 35
Lalique pour Homme edp 30
Antonio Banderas Blue Seduction 200ml 25
Cremo Spice and Black Vanilla 20
Insurrection II Wild 20
Nautica Voyage or Perry Ellis 360 red 15
subbed!
We definitely need a 2023 update!
Isn't the 'black jack accord' in Halloween Man X derived from the cocktail from the same name minus leather obviously? They did the same thing in Shot with the daiquiri accord. I don't think they just called it black jack because it sounded cool...
Can you do top Mancera and / or Bond No9?
The Royal Emperor of Scents! He sits on the Scented Throne!
I would get max 1-2 cheapies at the start of the fragrance journey. I’ve regretted buying a lot of those (Burberry London, The One EDP, Le Male EDT, Montblanc Individuel to name a few) and right now I’d much rather have a $200 Xerjoff or PdM I love than 7 or 8 $30-$35 bottles I never use. For $250 for a fragrance newbie I’d suggest getting 1 tried and tested cheapie like the ones in this vid (~$20), 1 unique cheapie like Encre Noire, Guerlain Habit Rouge, Davidoff Zino, etc. that fits your taste in particular (~$30), 1 mass appeal scent like Bleu de Chanel or Y Eau Fraiche (~$70) and then you have ~$130 to find an interesting niche fragrance that suits you. There’s plenty of Amouage, Nishane, Penhaligon’s, Bond No 9, and even PdM and Creed for around that price on the secondary market. At least this is the advice needed to hear when I was first starting out; to each his own.
Yes I literally threw away $150 of cheapies I bought at first. Once I spent a little more for a quality formulation I couldn't stand the chemical stench of the cheapies and I came to resent all the bottles on my shelf which just reminded me of the money I could've spent on a quality bottle. Got to start somewhere though
Please make top 10 best tenagers
My first fragrance was Aqua di Gio Profumo.
Thanks Ace!
I finally found a Uomo signature tester, really like it so far. How does original Uomo compare to signature?
I know what that 360 red bottle looks like! A bingo dobber!
I will have to try Explorer because CDNIM's citrus note is so harsh at the beginning for me.
CDNIM is way better if youre trying to smell like aventus. the drydown is exact. also i love your pic, GB are my favorite hc band. i have the gorilla tatt blasted on my leg. much love✌️
Hi.. do you know why the 200ml of vip is clear glass? And not metal, I’ve always wondered?
Guys, there’s new Spicebomb Infrared was dropped btw
🧐
You are awesome :) :)
Great list and I enjoyed it and I really want to try Burberry London and have a blessed day
It is GREAT
Ok thanks
Like Brian said it’s great. 👍🏾
The Perry Ellis 360 Red must go bad easily or something because I got mine in December 2019 and it already smells really watered down and synthetic and I got mine new at a perry Ellis store. I don’t get much cinnamon or spice in it either, it just smells fresh and nice with hints of fruit but really toned down now. I know someone else who had there’s for about 3 years and it just completely is watered down now and smells even more toned down and vague than mine. I wouldn’t recommend it even though it is so cheap
Hi, Can you do a review on Paul Smith London?????
Idk why but I had a sample of Coach for Men and hated it even though I really wanted to like it. It was very nauseating on my skin. Gave it 4-5 different wears and ultimately had to give it away cuz I couldn't stand it. Had to wash it off of myself every time I wore it. Maybe I had a bad sample.
Way to go with this video idea Ash! Great for viewers who need a more instructional opinion!
Appreciate the shoutout to us Noobs
Ferragamo uomo 50ml is on fragrancebuy if anyone’s interested
I know someone's going to place a curse on me for saying, but I prefer Perry Ellis Red to ADG Profumo. Scent and longevity it just works better on my skin. With a modest 300+ frags in my rotation I waited a long time before finding a steal on a big bottle of Profumo and it just didn't meet the hype.
I would agree! Different things for different people man. Many many fragrances others like, I can't stand lol. So whatever works for you brother
Does 212 vip man perform my collection atm is Eros, Dylan blue ,Versace blue jeans, Armani code and cdnim
Wish I would have seen this in February
I'm already 2 grand in
Did 212 vip change bottle style? My bottle don't look like what yiu just showed .I own 6 out of the 10 . I hate London it was a sub off and return maybe I bought a bad bottle
Great video, i clda saved $100s and many returns later. Avoid retail!
Man I know a lot of people like Montblanc Explorer but there is something about it I don't like. I feel like CDNIM smells way better as it's drying down than Explorer
I always go with the innovator never the imitator. For the $$$ people spend on clones or inspired fragrances that chase after Aventus, just buy the original
@@michaelmunchie LOL are you joking? The $35 for a 3.6ml almost 1:1 dry-down Aventus Clone is always better than dropping $400+ for the same scent. Of course the original is better, but we're talking about the budget of the average man.
@@starmorpheus Pete ...I am the average person. I saved for approx 3 months about $25 a week maybe even 4 months. But I got there and I was elated when I put ny order in at Fragrance net received the box about 5 / 6 days later . Still have the bottle. Soon after that I bought Green Irish Tweed. I use neither everyday . Special occasions. And I apply a scent less mineral oil on the spots where I spray and apply it on top of the oil. Lasts all day sometimes even the next , bc oil doesn't evaporate. BTW Pineapple Vintage makes an excellent clone .
@@michaelmunchie I'm sure you can definitely save up for the fragrance if you really want to, but my thinking is that some people just don't want to spend that much on it. I get what you mean, but if you've smelled CDNIM after it dries down (The strong lemon scent goes away after 15 - 20 minutes) the scent is surprisingly close to Aventus. Like close to 90%. It's still a dupe, but it makes one hesitant on paying that much for that extra 10% of the authentic Aventus scent.
CDNIM smells super harsh and cheap to me. The opening is straight up citrus bathroom cleaner.
If you want something in the same vein as Aventus, then Zara vibrant leather or mont Blanc explorer are the two best options.
Hey Ashton, when are we getting the CH Bad Boy Le Parfum review??? 😁😁😁
i feel like hes gonna rip it apart probably. lol.
I just have a signature scent and a loud scent and alot of exotic testers
My dad sprayed Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo in his eye, my bottle, he didn't know how the atomizer worked.. Then, when I bought Ferragamo's Uomo Casual Life, same story, just that he junked the atomizer and I ended up spraying myself in the eye..
Love the One Grey.. But it doesn't last on me.. Really... Idk.. Rest of the list I'm on it.. No Issey, or 212.
Hey Gents Sents, LOVE the reviews. Just wondering what would be a GREAT substitute for "GUCCI ENVY" for men.
He's not going to reply to you he's only looking for views and subs. Wake up dude.
@@3pumps324 😂😂
@@3pumps324 had no idea he wouldn't respond so what am I waking up too?
Carven Pour Homme or DUA Covet are a couple of Envy clones.

*a lot has been said about this bottle…. And what it might….. resemble. We’re not going to go any more into that.” BUT WHY LET’S TALK ABOUT THAT😂 I wanna know who at PE gave that bottle the green light to hit retail shelves😂
👌👌💯💯
I've seen this one before?
Hey Ash, cool video...where's the 35% code? Lol
@Totally Off Topic Fragrance Reviews At FragranceX? Doesn't work...
No Drakkar Noir? Come on Ash, it’s amazing!!
Wow, great list. A great list for beginners. The 35% code is missing from the description though.
google is your best friend! cheers

@@paigeofstylez Thank you, I hope his followers who were looking finds this code.
@@thedrydown4329 the code changes a lot btw
I have Savage EDT,Channel EDT,Coach for men.Debating dolce the one EDP or YSL Y EDP as my next purchase 🤔
I love ysl y edp, seems like you already have 2 blue fragrances though, might wanna add dolce the one edp
Ysl Y hands down.. beast just 2-3 sprays
Love YSL Y EDP opening, but do not like its dry down. Becomes too floral for my taste.
Get one sweet scent
I have both now and Le male Le parfum 🔥
Im not seeing the 35% discount code
If cedrat boise had the same price as explorer? Wich one would you buy? :) Thinking about buying one of these two :)
Probably Cedrat Boise
@@kenjiang21 thanks man! :)
Cedrat....
@@agustinisuarif3011 thanks! :)
Girls love prada lhomme so much more than cedrat boise, thats from my experience
Coach gives me a headache. Go for a fierce clone instead
I got Mount Blanc Legend for Christmas and to me it smells like noxious molten plastic. What is Legend suppose to smell like?
Hey I can't stand it either! It's to punchy man. Percival is WAY WAY better however way more expensive. Percival is just smoother the whole way through and smells cleaner to me
My two favorite cheapies right now are Salvatore Ferragamo Acqua Essenziale Blu and Guess 1981 Los Angeles. I like SFAEB better than BDC or Dylan Blue because it's a little more fresh in a powdery/bright kind of way, I like the tonka bean, rather than the other two that go with more patchouli/incense/iso-e types of directions. Brighter/cleaner and less dark/dense. Guess 1981 LA is like a grown up, better, version of Eros. If you changed the house name of these two fragrances to Dior and Chanel you could easily charge $120 for a 100ml.
I bought acqua essentiale blu and regettted it. The lavender is way too harsh for my liking.
Not seeing the 35 % code
What's the 35% off code ?
I think if it’s up to me to spend 250 I’d rather just spend it on 2 , or even 1 really nice one
Something my father always said that has stuck with me "I would rather have 1 expensive suit that 3 cheap ones"
By alternatives I think you meant honorable mentions
