Love this video ! Ashley is a lovely girl and a sharp nose ! Love lot of these scents (don't know all of them), specially Musc Ravageur, Ambre Russe and Ambre Précieux (but I prefer Ambre Mythique on my skin) ! I have to discover Tempo !
The highly anticipated... Ashley’s niche list. She didn’t disappoint either. Great list and analysis. I would love to see her make a video of, maybe not her whole collection but maybe her favorite five or ten scents in her personal collection and what she loves about them? Or five or ten favorite scents that she loves to smell on others. Another great video would be to do a feature spotlight on a perfumer, one who she admires or who’s work is an inspiration to her and maybe describe and highlight some of the scents they’ve created that motivate and inspire her? Just a thought? I think it would make a great video
Most niche perfumes to be honest are waste of money. Why would you want to smell different and unpleasant and pay so much for it. I only like a few like aventus, viking, layton, elysium and br 540.
Ashley is always on point. Intelligent and beautiful! Another great video...really enjoyed this. Best description of Fort & Manle; Raunchy & Fruity!! Lol!!
She's amazing. Love her eloquence, knowledge, and gift with words. Dainty, yet strong on her choices. She most definitely knows what she likes, which ironically couldn't be further from dainty. 😊😍
I have been binge watching fragrance reviews on YT for weeks now and this is BY FAR the best! You two make a great pair. Really enjoyed this. Hope you guys do more together!
Introducing FragComm to Ashley will be credited to you Sebastian. She is going to end up being a wonderful asset to the community over time. The banter you two have is just perfect, I think exactly what most frag heads want in video reviews as much as possible. Added bonus that she's as beautiful as you are. ;)
Terrific topic and video! Ashley is a great guest. The two of you have a nice energy. I have to say that I had a shirt just like Ashley's back in the day, and she wears it better. Thank you, Ashley, for saying "dated" instead of "old lady".
Best video I''ve seen in awhile! Excellent list, Ashley has good taste, as do you. I have many of these fragrances so I guess I have good taste too :) There are a few that I don't yet have, but will eventually. I agree with both of you in regard to Lyric Man, freshest rose fragrance there is (imo), but I think many men have a rose/feminine sense memory thing. I get a booziness from Herod as well, PdM's fragrances are incredibly well blended. Sometimes it's difficult to dissect them note from note, for me, at least. I could go on and on, but I'll save it. Loved it! Thanks again.
I really like your guest and her taste. She's not snobby because she's so open and attentive to your opinion. She's knowledgeable though and I like her taste.
I agree that Portrait of a Lady is such a misleading name, it's such a dark rose, so powerful so radiant - quite masculine but a woman can also pull it off! Great video!
I was so excited to watch this video, and it’s so nice seeing Ashley again and getting her perspective on niche fragrances from your collection. There are too many now that I have to go & try, but I’m happy to see Musc Ravageur in the top since I just bought that fragrance. 😅 Weirdly, I had picked up a bottle of Sanguine Muskissime by Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier at Nordstrom many many years ago not knowing anything about the house or niche fragrances. The parfumeur was there signing bottles, and I just went for it. Sadly, the scent itself wasn’t one I reached for often, but I still have the bottle and am very curious to try Ambre Precieux.
Can you or Ashley offer suggestions on how to improve at picking out specific notes. Things such as labdinum, iso e, tuberose, etc are difficult to separate. Can one obtain pure notes to become better ? Do they do this in fragrance school?
Sebastian, great videos all around but I gotta say, Ashley's a great guest on your channel and the two of you are great together. Super informative and enjoyable. I'd love to see more reviews with the two of you. Here's an idea. The top 5, 6, or even 10 scents that you'd recommend for friend if she, he, or they asked you for your advise.
This concept is great and unique! I love video where there’s a conversation about the fragrance rather than just a first person review. Have her back soon.
Great list and equally great presentation! Some of my reactions are: What is it that B22 was picked instead of Nio? And why Herod is ranked higher than Naxos? Thank you!
I agree on the Molecule for sure. The only 2 I own is 1 & 4. I hate 1 now, & have been in total love with 4 for over a yr. PPl always ask what I am wearing when I have 4 on!
I would rate Bal d'Afrique higher. Yes, its mostly unisex leaning fem, but the scent is so pleasant I would overlook that. Elysium-like scent profile. I don't see Floris Honey Oud as being g "rough". Rather, it is understated, nuanced, elegant. Very quintessentially English. Very Floris of London. Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady just doesn't do it for me. Bad fragrance. The "rose" comes across synthetic and sort of plasticky. Everyone has one or more frags for which they don't understand the hype, and this is one of those for me. And Add Musc Ravageur to that list. Its OK but nowhere near its hype. Sits in my Fougere collection but so many ahead of it.
She is JUST SUCH a beautiful person, with a super pleasent voice - it is the PERFECT team, when You two work together! And of course - it is SO so refreshing to hear from a person, who is in training to be a perfumer, its just such a unique twist to it. MUCH better than every other fragrance review videoes, outthere! Hugs from Denmark
Nice one Sebashley!! :D What about a video that talks about a Bespoke fragrance you would make (listing ideal ingredients) and a following video on who would you love to assign (brand) the production of your own fragrance? I am sure you will get many people commenting on what their dream pyramid notes are and also who would themselves would love their bottle to be made from. And with Ashley around it would be deeply informative as she might help with what goes well, what is hard to blend, and so on... :) Thanks for sharing!
Oh Royal Oud is probably one of my personal favorites, it’s probably a top 3 for me. I just feel so comfortable in it and just feel like it fits me personally and works exceptionally well with my skin. Disappointed it did not make her cut.... her designer list was spot on though, I own and love probably 15 of the 20 on that list.
Q Q too many to list haha but just to name a few... Bel Ami, Bois De Iles, Coromandel, Encre Noire, Oud Wood, Carven Homme, L’ombre Dans L’eau, Diptyque Eau Mage... I could go on and on, CDG Black, Heritage, Platinum Egoiste, MFK Oud... are some of them.
Things are getting personal now..... turned down Creed Royal Oud but likes the super watered down Bal Afrique which is nice but won’t last past 1 hr- I’m tuning off. Sorry.
Fast becoming my best frag Chanel As a fairly new guy (only 23 fragrances) Plz could you do a series on the technical terms Smells.....types......ingredients.....and so on and so on. Big ask Love from the uk 🇬🇧
I am happy that your collection is not just a bunch of name-brand houses. All I see is the same ole houses in most videos, as if the TH-camrs only shop at Walmart.
Absolutely splendid video Sebadtien. Thanks for inviting Ashley, i also enjoyed watching video the other guest that compared cookies to gourmand frgrances. Truly artistic!
Great videos as always. she knows a lot about perfumes. just one question?: what was it with andy tauer and ADP oud that make them miss the cut. I'm wondering about that coz I love both.
This is the first time I see a video on your channel with Ashley as guest, and she just makes it so great. Her obvious passion and knowledge shine through, and I especially enjoy how sure-footed she is with preferences & quick with her descriptions of them. I just feel her brilliance. Wow! As a side comment-since you bring up cumin, and Ashley says she likes that note-I’m sorry to say that I “de-spice” it. (hehe) I even leave it out of recipes (taco, chili, etc) because of that-please allow me to be blunt/gauche here-B.O. note. However, I have to say that I was shockingly surprised to find that I truly enjoyed the cumin in Jubilation 25! Wonders never cease
Great stuff! You know, I'd love to see you and Ashley pair some of your favourite fragrances with a certain style, look, destination or music, just so we can get a broader idea of how you percieve the scent. I personally think it would be great if review channels started incorporating different aspects of life (food, fashion, lifestyle, etc) into their reviews, just to help put fragrances into a more realistic context. This way, it helps keep the hobby in perspective, as well as giving us a better enthusiast's idea of the fragrance concept without succumbing to the cliche images pushed by the advertising campaign. After all, what's life without a little imagination!! Thanks Sebastian!
I don't usually watch videos over 10-minutes but could've watched Ashley give her thoughts and recommendations for another hour. Her natural engagement presence is as alluring as the fragrances.
Would Musc Ravageur be considered a Gourmand fragrance? I am usually drawn to dark, woodsy, Oud and slightly floral scents (Rose/Oud) and dislike strongly sweet or vanilla fragrances.
Hey Sebastian, Ashley really knows a lot about fragrances..... So far the best female reviewer on TH-cam, I'm interested in Amouage's LYRIC MAN , so how about it ... hehe !!
They way everyone hypes HEROD, I have now finally concluded that I must have picked up the worst of all the Herod batches, cos I don't get any out-of-this-world feeling when I use mine. It's a worthy frag in my collection no doubt, but nothing that spins the head. mho
Ashley u should have ur own TH-cam channel to talk about cologne u will do great better than every other TH-camrs I really know what u talking about i hope u do
Love watching your parfum videos.. I learn a lot from u ....I have a question.. Witch of the oud parfums do. u recommend for woman..I love the spicy and or woodesy scents..as well as the oud parfums.. If y can help thanks..
GREAT VID and again, great chemistry and give and take. I have to say that what makes Berg 22 so compelling for me is that it is BOTH sunshine/citrus in a bottle but then plummets to this cozy scent and no, I am not just talking about staying close to the skin. LOTS of surprises. LOVE Rose 31 and that the list included a number of frags with that scent. It can be very masculine and still retain it;s essence which I believe is so beautiful. I have to get MOntale's Intense Cafe, that's just all there is to it. I NEED MORE PERFUMES! Still waiting to pull the trigger on my first FM. Eau de Magnolia is ok, but I have to spray POAL. i GIFTED a sample to my niece who was in a wedding and i wanted her to smell special. Hey, I am a good uncle, what can I say? jk EXCELLENT, as per usual!

Can you do a version for female? both designer and niche please! really like her!
Ashley is always on point. Intelligent and beautiful! Another great video...really enjoyed this. Best description of Fort & Manle; Raunchy & Fruity!! Lol!!
I love this list so much
YES.!!!!...ASHLEY is BACK!!!
She is sooooo ADORABLE!
I would love to see more videos with Ashley doing women's fragrances
She's amazing. Love her eloquence, knowledge, and gift with words. Dainty, yet strong on her choices. She most definitely knows what she likes, which ironically couldn't be further from dainty. 😊😍
Ashley is the best guest ever on any fragrance channel I've seen. Please please please do more vids with her.
I have been binge watching fragrance reviews on YT for weeks now and this is BY FAR the best! You two make a great pair. Really enjoyed this. Hope you guys do more together!
Ha I know a dirty jasmine too!! Great video, you make an excellent duo. I would like to hear Ashley discuss her own favourite scents

Exactly my thoughts
Totally could not have said it better 😍

I get a booziness from Herod as well, PdM's fragrances are incredibly well blended.
Sometimes it's difficult to dissect them note from note, for me, at least.
I could go on and on, but I'll save it.
Loved it! Thanks again.
Hmmmmmm nice presentation n frags....
Sebastian have you done any TOP 20 IRIS FRAGS LIST YET ???? if not would love to see.
Soon working on that one! :)
Smelling Great Fragrance Reviews that will be good
I really like your guest and her taste. She's not snobby because she's so open and attentive to your opinion. She's knowledgeable though and I like her taste.
I agree that Portrait of a Lady is such a misleading name, it's such a dark rose, so powerful so radiant - quite masculine but a woman can also pull it off! Great video!
she looks hot while talking about parfums
I was so excited to watch this video, and it’s so nice seeing Ashley again and getting her perspective on niche fragrances from your collection. There are too many now that I have to go & try, but I’m happy to see Musc Ravageur in the top since I just bought that fragrance. 😅

Yes!!! I needed this video, I just tried Carlisle by pdm and I love it, this list helped me pick some other fragrances to try.. I hope all is well 🔥
My favorite female guest of all fragrance reviewers channel. Always love her views. Thanks Sebastian!
Can you or Ashley offer suggestions on how to improve at picking out specific notes. Things such as labdinum, iso e, tuberose, etc are difficult to separate. Can one obtain pure notes to become better ? Do they do this in fragrance school?
Just ordered me the brand spankin’ new Diptyque release... 34 Boulevard Saint Germain Eau De Parfum! Can’t wait!
Sebastian, great videos all around but I gotta say, Ashley's a great guest on your channel and the two of you are great together. Super informative and enjoyable. I'd love to see more reviews with the two of you. Here's an idea. The top 5, 6, or even 10 scents that you'd recommend for friend if she, he, or they asked you for your advise.
How the heck did she not like Royal Oud and Au Coeur? Damn.
It's not that she didn't like them she left them off as they didn't fit the top 20! :)
Michael McDonald
Never tried the other one but I don't like Royal Oud ;)
This concept is great and unique! I love video where there’s a conversation about the fragrance rather than just a first person review. Have her back soon.
Loved this. Ashley is lovely to listen to and knows her scents too. Thanks!
SOTD - Ambra Auera by Profumum Roma, my daughter said my room smells like gasoline and oil 😂 she gives the funniest descriptions
Oh wow. Too funny.
Great list and equally great presentation! Some of my reactions are: What is it that B22 was picked instead of Nio? And why Herod is ranked higher than Naxos? Thank you!
Remarkable list
I agree on the Molecule for sure. The only 2 I own is 1 & 4. I hate 1 now, & have been in total love with 4 for over a yr. PPl always ask what I am wearing when I have 4 on!
It was a great pleasure to watch two knowledgeable persons, talking about fragrances!

Q Q right on!
Things are getting personal now..... turned down Creed Royal Oud but likes the super watered down Bal Afrique which is nice but won’t last past 1 hr- I’m tuning off. Sorry.
Great job guys, I really enjoy watching both of you doing fragrance collaboration. Not only is she knowledgeable in fragrance she's also cute.
Fast becoming my best frag Chanel
As a fairly new guy (only 23 fragrances)
Plz could you do a series on the technical terms
Smells.....types......ingredients.....and so on and so on.
Big ask
Love from the uk 🇬🇧
Hopefully more of those kinds of videos soon. 😄
Ashley is so cute and I am totally impressed with her nose and her analysis. I really enjoy the interaction between you two.
You make a fantastic duo! Her descriptions of the fragrances are really wonderful.❤
Fantastic to see ashley back , it's like watching too friends with an encyclopedia of knowledge about what i love 👍
Great video.
I am happy that your collection is not just a bunch of name-brand houses. All I see is the same ole houses in most videos, as if the TH-camrs only shop at Walmart.
But she is right, Pure Havanne is a way better fragrance than Naxos. Just like Pure Malt is a Masterpiece.
Absolutely splendid video Sebadtien. Thanks for inviting Ashley, i also enjoyed watching video the other guest that compared cookies to gourmand frgrances. Truly artistic!
I'd marry her😍😍we have at least one thing in common...:)
Great videos as always. she knows a lot about perfumes. just one question?: what was it with andy tauer and ADP oud that make them miss the cut. I'm wondering about that coz I love both.
You seem to have found a hidden gem and i don't mean any of the frags...
How do you make a career in perfume… without having a day job first.
Don’t get mad, but the lady sitting next to you is a pure gold digger. I foresee that as clear as the sun in a clear day.
She is amazing😀
This is the first time I see a video on your channel with Ashley as guest, and she just makes it so great. Her obvious passion and knowledge shine through, and I especially enjoy how sure-footed she is with preferences & quick with her descriptions of them. I just feel her brilliance. Wow!

You are so right about cumin. Horrible note. Cartier Declaration is body odor in a bottle.
Fun to watch. Beautiful lady. Thank you.
What a great list. Would love to own all those one day. I’ve smelled 3 of those 20. Enjoyed the video and her as a guest ✌🏻
Great video, and Ashley is a beast!
You work very well together to give us fantastic content - so thank you!
Keep doing what you are doing. love your content and taste in fragrances. started my journey with vetiver primarily because of you
Oh! Grand Soir did not make the cut? :(
It's pronounced ahmbr press-yeuh
He's got to bring Ashley back.......
Ashley is a great guest reviewer. Energy was great and she seems to know her stuff. You gotta bring her back once things start returning to normal.
Great stuff! You know, I'd love to see you and Ashley pair some of your favourite fragrances with a certain style, look, destination or music, just so we can get a broader idea of how you percieve the scent.

Please list the number 1 amber in this video by name
Dang she was shaving sight as cutting a wedding cake
I don't usually watch videos over 10-minutes but could've watched Ashley give her thoughts and recommendations for another hour. Her natural engagement presence is as alluring as the fragrances.
Thank you. Here's the Designer Edition of this video as well: th-cam.com/video/_sMori-9LiA/w-d-xo.html
Thank you, I will check it out.
black phaantom !!!
Would Musc Ravageur be considered a Gourmand fragrance? I am usually drawn to dark, woodsy, Oud and slightly floral scents (Rose/Oud) and dislike strongly sweet or vanilla fragrances.
Great Video , I Own #3 Herod 😆
Already added to my to-buy list
she's very descriptive, which I appreciate
keep this girl dude she rocks your snaps,pay her what ever she wants together you balance each other "SEARCH FOR THE HOLY GRAIL ".....regards.
As soon as you say urine and fecal or body odor...I'm out. That's not a scent I'm looking for. LOL
LOL
Hey Sebastian, Ashley really knows a lot about fragrances..... So far the best female reviewer on TH-cam, I'm interested in Amouage's LYRIC MAN , so how about it ... hehe !!
They way everyone hypes HEROD, I have now finally concluded that I must have picked up the worst of all the Herod batches, cos I don't get any out-of-this-world feeling when I use mine. It's a worthy frag in my collection no doubt, but nothing that spins the head. mho
One thing perfumer should learn is how to prononce correctly the names of perfumes. 😆🤷♀️
Aww she favorite perfume also! Ambre Précieux! My fluid level is going down fast!
Alexanderia 2, not there?
Loved this video, I learn a lot from you two.
Why only 27? Should've let her pick from at least 40 lol She has a great nose.. Top 5 were really good ones. I still like volutes more than Herod
How do you become a perfumer?
❤ Really Loved This ❤
Think she was alittle too much sniff sniff sniff. Feel like Sebastian had to pull the review our of her. .. otherwise good list.
I wonder how her list would have changed is designer exclusives were allowed - Chanel Exclusifs or Maison Christian Dior
No Initio?!? Bummer, I need Ashley's stamp of approval.
Ashley u should have ur own TH-cam channel to talk about cologne u will do great better than every other TH-camrs I really know what u talking about i hope u do
Frapin 1270, the smell is sensational. The performance is criminal
She's gorgeous 😍wow...
Love watching your parfum videos.. I learn a lot from u ....I have a question.. Witch of the oud parfums do. u recommend for woman..I love the spicy and or woodesy scents..as well as the oud parfums.. If y can help thanks..
Ahh valley girl accents..I can't 🤦♂️
A dirty jasmine?
Her nose and ability to articulate herself clearly and interestingly is so so good to watch.
GREAT VID and again, great chemistry and give and take. I have to say that what makes Berg 22 so compelling for me is that it is BOTH sunshine/citrus in a bottle but then plummets to this cozy scent and no, I am not just talking about staying close to the skin. LOTS of surprises. LOVE Rose 31 and that the list included a number of frags with that scent. It can be very masculine and still retain it;s essence which I believe is so beautiful. I have to get MOntale's Intense Cafe, that's just all there is to it. I NEED MORE PERFUMES! Still waiting to pull the trigger on my first FM. Eau de Magnolia is ok, but I have to spray POAL. i GIFTED a sample to my niece who was in a wedding and i wanted her to smell special. Hey, I am a good uncle, what can I say? jk EXCELLENT, as per usual!
Amazing fragrances
I love Ashley
