In Germany its basically :
- Going to a Shop or Mall
- Sniff a few things before someone jumps at you to sell you something overpriced
- Run out
- And order online hoping the drydown can live up to the opening
Greetings from Germany
It’s the same in America. Can’t smell without being attacked by a sales rep
I feel you bro. 🤜🤛
Same here in Malaysia.
Hey atleast you guys get free samples...
We don't have that privilege here, you can just test them at stores.
Agree with you Ghostface315! I even have my idealo app ready to compare prices on the spot or check Parfümdreams to use their every day 20% coupon
Noo... not in Bremen... Never experienced that... But maybe it's because they know that I have a reviewing channel so, they are afraid to recommend me stuff. LOL!
5 times as much choice as a small town in Ireland 😂
The best place for me is the pharmacys, I found two bottles of original formulation la nuit de l'homme and it was buy one get one free at Christmas time 👌
Nice what was the pharmacy
Buy one get one free? I'm crying right now TT____TT
painfull, I was last year 2 weeks in Ireland but 1 month after my travelling in Ireland I started to get into fragnances, didnt missed much I guess.
@ 😂 that and got two bottles of Bond no 9 andy warhol face edition in another closing down sale. The two best funds I've ever got 🙏
Yeah pharmacy's are the best. I found 4 bottles of La Nuit Frozen Cologne in the same one and 2 more in the same franchise in another nearby town. Might friend found a 4-digit La Nuit and I found some late 2011-2014s. Pharmacies are the best
The only place in my town to buy fragrances is Walmart. Nearest actual fragrance store (Sephora, etc.) is over 2 hours away. The internet is a beautiful thing.
Alaska?
@@TheGrafton12 Oklahoma - about as far away from anything as you can get, even in the same State. I'm closer to Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas than I am to any major city in any of them.
I live in Oklahoma City and there are plenty of places to buy from.
@@keelyleilani1326 Unfortunately I am over 4 hours from OKC, but I've taken a couple of weekend trips down there to visit some stores.
@@grey7987 4 hours is a long way
The sephora at my local mall drastically reduced their mens cologne section, it use to take up half the side wall, now it's the size of the one you just showed.
The fragrance selection on display is way way way much better compared to the huge department stores display here in Phillipines. Thanks for coming back to CZcams.
I guess I consider myself lucky. I’m a stones throw from Sak’s, Neiman, Macy’s, many Sephora and Ulta as well. Basically every brand has a counter around these parts making sampling relatively easy.
Thanks for sharing
Better selection then my hometown so imo you're winning.
I live in a town with less than 1,500 people and the closest mall is about 100 miles away. The closest wallmart is 30 miles away, all we have is a grocery store that sells body spray
Really enjoyed the video . Great to see what the selection in your town is like .
It's really cool how at those stores they show icons and descriptions on what kind of fragrance it is and what notes are in it.
Thanks for showing us around Ashton, really nice video idea 💪🏻
Ashton, PA?
Thanks Kanye, very cool
@@Johnnyboybravo "Ashton" as in his name. Like, "Thanks for showing us around Neon Light." I agree that a comma would've helped. I think Ash lives somewhere in the south.
One of your best videos this, great stuff. Was impressed by JC Pennys selection I'll be honest, wasn't expecting that. Hope you do more of these.
I'm soooo glad you made this video. I live eight miles from a small college town in PA. We have barely a mall, Sephora in JCP and one TJ Maxx if not driving 90 min to Pittsburgh. Glad you are showing people the scented Styx as it were...at least YOU have a Macys!! 👏 😎✌
I live in a sleepy little mountain town in the heart of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. My fragrance shopping is either Walmart or Safeway, which means Cool Water or Drakkar Noir are the best available, usually. Colorado Springs has Ulta, Sephora, and all the department stores and discounters, such as TJ Maxx or Ross, and it's only a two hour drive through the canyon. Denver, which has some niche options, is a three hour drive.
Great video and thank you for the cool shopping fragrances video .I hope you have a great day.
Ok here's the deal. I live and grew up in a large metropolis area, the SF/ Silicon Valley bay area. I guess I take this for granted. Even our Sephora has a full selection of Tom Ford. You can even buy the decanters there. If you ever come to San Francisco Ashton I'm inviting you to do some major damage shopping here.
Thank You for field trip brother.. Great job
I live in Phoenix and went into my local Ulta yesterday. It was the exact same display as yours right down to the order of the fragrances within each section. I was dying watching you walk through that store knowing what was coming next! Haha
same exact thing here at the ulta here in Oregon lol
Thanks for the shopping trip! I feel like I actually went out for a while! :)
Polo Gold Blend is actually really nice! And that Black is Black Modern oud is pretty decent too for $8.
Great vid! Grew up south of Knoxville and i only had freaking Belk back in the day to buy my stuff at. So thankful to be in Tampa now with a Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus around the corner among other places
Better selection than my town, and we even have a Macys, they don't keep things like Dior Suavage in the open, guess they get stolen too much lol.
I know it’s old but just saw this video and that’s awesome man you were right here in ole JC TN 🤙🏻🤙🏻
You’ve gotta be kidding me. That looks like JC mall never knew you were local man! How cool! Makes me want to support you even more!
Fantastic, loved the idea
Great video Ashton would love another shopping video I stay in Edinburgh in the UK loads of places to shop for fragrances in Edinburgh thanks again
That sephora in jc penny is like that everywhere no matter the size of the city. Wish they would curate with more passion
Really? In seattle our sephora has everything, very overpriced but its a great place to get samples.
@@thatonehead Yeah the stand alone sephoras are great (overpriced yes) but I was talking about the JC Penny Sephora specifically.
In Southern Arizona, sephora has its own store not attached to JC Penny. I just bought 3 fragrances there
Very awesome video I think more people like you should do video like these 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Nice video. Yes do more of these videos!
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the tag along. I literally live at a complete ghost town with absolutely no stores at all except a Goody's. Their selection is bare to none. I have to drive almost an hour and a half to a "decent" TJ Maxx. Luckily, I went there this Monday and they had all heavy hitters imho.
I visited Canada last month, from the uk. Spent sometime checking out the fragrances, I noticed the lack of fragrances, even in the shops. The uk seems to have dedicated shops for fragrances etc
Great video!
Thanks for the video. For the Penguin line I would rate the 3 usual finds from favorite to least Iconic Blend, Premium Blend, Original Blend.
Hi i just saw the dg light blue sun. How does that perform?
I saw you briefly mentioned the Pecksniffs ... what are your impressions?
Hi Ashley, I always thought you were Canadian for some reasons. Forgive me. Well, we do have Sephora here in Singapore, some discounters which most people shy away from for reasons unknown. They are not fragheads btw. And also a place call 'Mustafa' which is popular among tourist and local alike. We do wait for about 6 months before the new arrivals hit our shores. A small island nation like Singapore, it is easy to find well known brands. The only thing missing here is those relatively unknown indie and niche brands.
I appreciate that you shot this type of videos and let people outside USA, who have not been there to see that it is not all rosy. Thanks and looking forward to more of such content.
Wondered where you were from because your accent was so similar to mine and now it makes prefect sense. I grew up about an hour away from there on the VA side. Definitely hard to find fragrances in small town USA. Thank goodness for the internet.
Really enjoyed that, never been to the US and your TJ MAX is worlds different to the UK. Very interesting, more please!!
Cool video. Seems like those stores have the same stuff as our OC california stores do. That's why I drive a little further to bloomingdales or nordstroms for my niche.
Managed to find ADP Colonia Club at my local Marshalls!! Some Bond No 9 at my TJ Maxx as well. Pricing wasn’t all that great though.
i feel ya..about the same here, and im not too far from your area. At least your stores had the names listed on the display racks. Did you try the Tommy Maritime Deep Blue? I really liked it. Nice representation of the beach/ocean.
I live in New Orleans.
Theirs a few malls (Dillards, JC Penny) and theirs a Saks in the city. About 4 Sephoras scattered around.
Not LA or New York, but not too bad.
I live in Baton Rouge, one store in gonzales tanger mall fragrance outlet they have a lot of fragrance. they have couple of ulta, Macy’s one Sephoras at the mall. A few around in Baton Rouge.
Smelled that polo gold blue last week. Really liked it
Do you have any Burlington's out there? Seem to have a decent selection of designers on discounts sort of like TJ Maxx or Ross
love this theme , bring more life vlog pls
tks A
You know you live in small town USA when you go to the big city to get some free decants at Sephora. For me, local shopping would be Wal-Mart, CVS, and WalGreens. But I discourage anyone from buying fragrances at a store when online discounters sell them so much cheaper.
This was a really cool video. It is exactly the same shopping in Fargo North Dakota.
Awesome vloggy style video!
Cool video man, nice change. I'm in a small city in France (from London UK) and there are five fragrance stores, none with a great selection alas. One of the chain-stores stocks Le Couvent des Minimes though, which is a nice change and another one always has limited edition Azzaro stuff. The Sephora has a pretty big selection for the ladies and they stock Serge Lutens but always seem slow with new releases (still don't have ADG Absolu Instinct for example) they've also never heard of John Varvatos lol.
I only have walmart within a hour drive until I hit a sephora that only carries designers. Takes 3 hours to hit a Saks.
În romania you only have one frag shop in a city and you usually get like three time less fragrance, and then you have your typical little cosmetics shop where you can usually find some ok cheapies like some UDV and La Rive, but mostly that's all
Actually enjoyed this video
I like this type of content
Do you ever check out the thrift stores and antique shops?
I work in baja duty free were we sell fragrance i get 35 percent of any fragrance so its nice
I live in the Chicago suburbs and it's mostly the same. There are more malls in the area but the outlets all have the same stuff. I enjoy going to Ross, TJ Maxx, Burlington, etc. more but even with those stores I start seeing themes fairly quickly. Most of my purchases are online blind buys.
Sounds like the exact setup at my mall. About 40 mins away theres a Perfumania that has quite a bit more stuff.
Check those batch codes on dior homme sport.
Picked up some older formulation at the Sephora in a small town jc penney
Honestly, what do you think about Azzaro Chrome Pure?
What a great idea for video:)
You have the same stores I have here in Charleston, SC.
Belk has a lot here.
There's a Macy's about 5 miles from my apt building, so that's where I usually go. Our local Nordstrom's bit the dust 2 years ago.
It's about the same here, with Ulta, a JCPENNEY based Sephora and Macy's in the mall, and TJMAXX and Ross around them. No niche, but TJMAXX surprises me every now and then. Still the majority of my fragrance shopping is done online.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on Ford Mustang Performance. A nice cheapie Le Male clone you can usually get for under $10 at TJ Maxx.
Really enjoyed this vid! Trinidad its ok but the prices they charge are expensive! Yep again!
Please tell me where that hat is from?
Come to California for a visit. Between San Jose, Stanford, and San Fran...got access to a lot to check out!
We got nice selection in Cleveland , we even have one that sells Indie and lots of high end Niche , also we have Nordstroom and Saks fifth avenue
Hi could you do a full review on ch insignia edp for men?
I see that Bvlgari aqua Atlantic gift set 100 mill with a 15 mill for $44.00 I need to get a backup bottle.
For a small US town, they have more variety than the city I live in.
In the Mecca of Columbus GA we have several options but mostly the same stuff that's in your neck of the woods. Ulta, Sephora, Dillards, Ross, Marshalls, 2 TJ Maxx locations and so on. We also have a couple of mall fragrance stores that I am not sure are 100% legit lol. I went in the fragrance only store asking about Amouage fragrances and the guy said that all of them were for women. I haven't been back since.
I can validate this response. Joey! What's up man...haha. Cant believe I saw you on this channel man. I'm into the fragrance game. Let's do some golf soon. It's been a while.
@@AromaKicks17
Hey man I have been deep into fragrances since the late 90s... let's get together soon and hit 18
Springfield MO is kind of similar. We have a Macys and Dillards though but no Niche in either of those.
We have nothing where I live ,the closest mall where there is a decent department store is 90 minutes away, and there are no online decant shops so sampling fragrances is very hard.
Would you do this again?
The second store had a decent selection of designer brands. If I lived there I would shop at that store.
I'm fortunate enough to live in New York City- you can get virtually any brand, in addition there are quite a few niche fragrance boutiques like By Kilian, Parfums de Marly , Bond No 9, Frederic Malle and many, many others.
I understand this dilemma completely being from southern IL. A drive to St. Louis improves my selection tremendously.
Wow, wish i could find some Issey for $15! I hit all the discounters in Louisville, Ky. that i can fairly often. I found a Ch Men Prive set at tjmaxx the other day marked down to $44. Didnt get it but probably should have. Cool vid. Take care.
Welcome to the vlog world , Ash.
They follow me like I'm gonna steal something too. Thanks for the video.
I live in Tucson and there's not much in local TJ Maxx And Ross. Although we do have a full Sephora in the mall but they are sure stingy with those samples
My town is exacting the same when it comes to fragrances. The same exact stores and choices as your town except we don't have a belk. Belk actually looks like Macy's in this video, I wonder if it is a sister store.
In JC, MO we have at least 3 to 4 of the stores you visited. The biggest one is Dillards and Ulta, I depend heavily upon you and a few other reviewers to keep me updated. 98% of the time I shop online.
I live in suburban London, very close to a shopping mall with 280 shops and 70 restaurants. Online is still the way to go though.
Where do you live man? I am from a small city of two hundred thousand inhabitants in Romania, but here are many more perfume shops, with a larger selection to choose from.
Went to a small town called Fort Langley in British Columbia, Canada and found an amazing EDP called Mistral. Can you do a review on it ?
I live in Lynchburg, Va and It very limited on the men's cologne selection. I have to order online or drive 2 hours away to an outlet to get some top notch fragances.
In Concord NC it is very similar to your shopping experience... I have to drive to South Charlotte (40 miles away) thats where they have higher end stores ... Nieman Marcus, Nordstroms and stores like that.
It’s the same actually,, I live here in Washington DC and the rack stores are 80 to 90% like the ones You got out there the only time I notice you can find Creed fragrances or some top Notch colognes like that around Christmas time that’s about it everything else Is mediocre Nautica Beverly Hills polo club etc. But if you’re dedicated you will find some heavy hitters for super cheap Great Video 🤙
Flying out to DC for a week here in a couple days, Anything nice to check out? I noticed there was a Le Labo up on capitol hill. And a perfume store over in Oxon Hill.
Senjosu! Definitely pentagon city mall in that area they go to marshals and T.J. Maxx that always Has great fines and if you go in the mall they have a Zara All in the same area definitely check that out!
Definitely a cool video
Which review did you talk about Missoni? I love that frag!
czcams.com/video/EfJDeLoDbqM/video.html
@@sambomcl Thank you. :)
I think your idea of a small town is different than mine. I live near Boone, NC and when I saw your selection, I was like “nice!”.
What part of Tennessee are you from, I'm originally from Memphis so it was better than that. But I live in Dallas now so it's much better
which town is this?
Lol, I hear ya man! At least your Sephora has 3 rows! They keep on asking me if I've tried the "new Savage cologne ".. Your Belk seems a little like our Kohl's. Thanks for letting us know that we're not alone :/
is that johnson city? I am in Elizabethton.
What town? And State? Are you in Ashton
They actually have more than I expected... I was thinking it would be a drugstore kind of availability... or Dollar Tree selection....
I spotted Givenchy Pi. I love that scent.
Definitely more stuff than the department stores in PDX. Thankfully we have a couple niche/independent boutiques.
