I’ve been sampling decants of niche fragrances lately. At that price point, blind buying just is not a smart move. Sometimes you’ll find that you just straight up do not enjoy a fragrance. (For me it was Interlude Man and Initio Side Effect). And other times, you might really enjoy a fragrance but you find the performance lacking for the price. (Looking at you Herod and current batches of Layton). Out of the samples I recently received, I think I’m going to purchase Haltane. But long story short….don’t blind buy expensive niche fragrances. Spend some money and get some decants so you can spend some time with them first before deciding that you want to buy them.
I still blind buy all my fragrances but I do some serious extensive research before I buy them, and I think that’s what has helped me avoid a lot of niche fragrances that aren’t worth it. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea to trust what strangers say online but if 20 people are saying the same thing across different forums I’d listen.
Initio side effect is my fav fragrance of mine
Amen dude. The Fragrance Decant Boutique has been a game changer for my ability to explore niche stuff at not completely unreasonable prices
@@AC-tf8gr I respect what they were going for but I found it to be way too cloyingly sweet for my taste. Almost headache inducing.
@@Ajibolaa that ain’t a blind buy. Blind buy is see a fragrance and buy it with no research or sample
I recently picked Naxos for €205. Worth every penny.
It’s an amazing as a room freshener, if you’re into dated smells.
I was going to pick up Naxos, but in the end opted for Uden. I regret my decision.
Decant to me is the way to go for highly expensive perfumes. We know there would be new perfumes every year and most times you won’t be able to wear all what you currently have. I have PDM,Initio and some decants from FragranceNet. And most of my full bottles are like around 150 and below. I will keep it this way because it saves me money kind of and tend to have so much choices regardless of size wise.
Honestly, unless you like collecting bottles themselves for display, this is the way. Even wearing fragrance everyday might blow through 2 100ml bottles per year. Any kind of 'collection' quickly outpaces how much you can actually ever use.
Dior sauvage elixir is my most expensive cologne in my collection 150+ tax retail for 60 ml worth every penny going on almost 3 years still got a little less than half of juice left super strong only need a couple sprays. Amazing fragrance 💯
I love pdm greenly. Its one of my daily driver. Especially in florida when its hot almost yesr round.
I live in Miami and am loving using it
For me it has to be Aventus Cologne. My favorite warm weather scent I’ve ever smelled by far, I of course got it on discount but still the most expensive bottle I own. Still loving it
I absolutely love Naxos! I was fortunate enough to pick up a new bottle for under $200 recently.
I got a Naxos tester bottle for 160! I was so pumped!
@@SHROOMTECHpicked one up for 110
I got mine for $56 on the Afterpay app so I can pay that every 2 weeks until it's all paid off, most people don't know about that option.
Agreed about Chanel, they don’t discount their products, I would never get Chanel on eBay especially if heavily discounted. I got all my Chanel’s from the official sites.
Add Triumph of Bacchus to that list. Like a masterful version of Red Tobacco. Worth every penny. 👌
Recently bought Dior parfum. $184, for me that is a lot. Worth it due to how hard it is to find in the "states". I have a decant and tried several times to purchase when it popped up online. Never quick enough when i saw the email. Always sold out. Finally scored.
Of course most people thought they made the right move. Nobody likes to admit they made a mistake 😂
I'm saying tho
I disagree. Justification via ego will not prevent future errors by justifying past mistakes.
Own your own mistakes to not repeat them, and understand we are all fallible.
Be well, smell incredible.
@eljefede953 yes, that's the right thing to do. Do people always do the right thing, though? 🤔
Or they made the right move and enjoy their purchases. Don't be a hater.
That’s true and we landed on the moon in 69 😅😅 ☹️
I purchased Oud for Greatness which is by far the most expensive perfume I've ever had. And, everyday I smell the cap even on the days I don't wear it just because I can't get enough of it. My wife absolutely loves it on me.
I love green Irish tweed
Nice video! My best buy that worthed much more i spent was Amouage Jubilation Man for 170 Euros (around 180 USD) which i very much enjoy
I’ve probably spent a few thousand dollars on my fragrance collection, mostly vintage Antaeus Pour Homme of the 1980s and 1990s, but also on others. I love the smell of Antaeus. A very masculine fragrance in my opinion. I don’t regret it.
My most expensive fragrance is Kilian Straight to Heaven Extreme with K clutch for $600. Took me years to find. If we are talking Carafe then it would be Kilian Single Malt (2015) and/or Apple Brandy New York (2016). Both coffrets cost me $1500 brand new in box. I bought a bottle of both of these for $450-500 both with clutch. These are my top 3 grail fragrances and they are worth every penny and the price just keeps going up since they are long gone and discontinued. I also just paid the $500 retail on Amouage Jubilation 40 and wasn’t very happy with it so I sold it for $450. My next big one will be a Krigler Patchouli 55 at $1k +.
O Mann, da kann man schon etwas neidisch werden. Weiterhin viel Freude mit ihren ausgezeichneten Düften.
I have a 2014 bottle of Aventus, and Creed was the brand which got me into scent. Why are people overpaying for the older Aventis?
I forgot to answer that question on the community tab but my answer is PDM Carlisle I paid about $300 or so and I do love it especially when I first got it I'm never smelled anything like that before but yeah I do like it
Fragranceswap Subreddit sells it for $175
În my country you can find it în the summer time on grey market at about 200 $
You can get PDMs from cologne discounters and suppliers for like 180$ to save money in the future
Not a high roller but Dior Homme Parfum was absolutely worth it.
Greenly my favorite. It's not that much like apple shampoo, that's cap. Everyone says that and I think people will overlook it, but don't. My favorite from that house. Layton is great too. It has an additive and intoxicating dry down. Put on molecule 01 as a base coat and it's next level.
PDM Greenley is awesome!
As a student, back in the day, I bought Chanel Nr.5 for my girlfriend.
Didn't know it was that expensive at that time, otherwise I wouldn't (a bit jokingly) have said: "The biggest bottle!".
But, after a bit of a shock when seeing the 3 digit price, it was worth every penny. 🤓👍
The only fragrance I’ve ever paid absolute full retail is Celine Bois Dormant. I bought the full size 4.2 oz bottle because I know that that particular frag wears like a skin scent. I think many people would be disappointed paying full retail but for me as a collector is something I “needed” and I absolutely love the way it smells. Other high end frags I feel are worth paying full price if you couldn’t find them at a discounter would be Chanel sycamore
Creed royal oud
MDCI invasion Barbare
Tom ford beau du jour
Bvlgari Ohnek
Obviously these frags run a more mature demographic but I feel for high end event even for weddings funeral’s basically any place that demands you wear a suit and tie these are all a cut above many others in high end perfumery. Now I know you can find most of these at a discount but if you couldn’t and the above mentioned are to your style I’d say buy with confidence
They should make a YSL L’homme Elixir(that smells like the edt)
Jo Malone $220 was the most expensive I’ve bought… I loved it.
Off collar solution: Take it and make it clean with dish soap (just to make sure all the oil goes off), put it a thin cote of clear epoxy and it will never came off again.
That's what I did that with my PDM Habdan. The alcohol of the cologne was so strong it peeled the paint and the collar loosened. I used epoxy to fix it.
Those are some really stellar fragrances! I like every single one and own many. My most expensive purchase was Bvlgari Tygar for close to $400 after tax. Totally worth owning my favorite dna after owning two clones of it. It is my GRAIL frag!! Top tier excellence!!
Sampled tygar and I didnt fall in love with it but i did really like it and I could have found a place for it but it just disappeared off my skin way too soon
Shame because I almost bought it just for the bottle
Recently for me is Parfum de Marly Layton. It was on sale for about 50% off, because I am not sure if I would pay full price. I did have a small vial of it prior to my purchase and it was excellent. So when the 50% deal came around (the deal was only for 48 hours) I grabbed it as quickly as possible. This was worth every penny. I would never blind buy again. I did it once with Dior Fahrenheit and it was terrible on my skin, never again. Definitely buy small vials or test them at department stores before buying.
Where was it on sale
@@thefundamental8325 Jomashop last week. Ash posted a video of the 48 hour sale, and a couple other fragrance reviewer youtubers did the same. Creed colognes were still on sale last I looked (about 40% or more off)
And even if you ended up not liking Layton, you'd have zero problems flipping the bottle at net zero at the least.
50% off? Where was this?
Where was your 50% off purchase?
Great video! Which is the best discounter for PDM for myself in the UK?
I like this video Ash . I like that you pointed out that value and expensiveness are subjective.
I’ll have to broaden my horizons a bit… I don’t don’t really get into unisex scents… I see many of them on this list…. And your descriptions make them sound pretty enticing. Your content is very helpful as I get back into fragrances as an older man. I was wearing safari and cool water when they came out and I was in 9th grade. We would have our parents drop us off early before a movie date to raid the Macys testers😂😂. Thanks again!
I only have a few expensive fragrances. Herod, Sedley are two that I had to get and i dont regret but idk if they are exactly "worth the money" especially when i have alot of Montagnes dupes that are pretty high quality. Everyone I've tried is spot on and 1.7oz for $40-$60 is a great price.
I have a new batch (5 months old) naxos, i bought it for 190$, unopened full box. I love it. And on my skin, thsi new batch still long lasting. A bit more citrusy then the old batches.
Surprised you didn't have sultan vetiver on there since you loved it.
I paid $650 for a 250ml Creed Aventus flacon back in 2018 directly from Creed boutique. I still have 100ml. It is worth every penny.
I spent $308 on a $375 bottle of Mind Games Double Attack (Shoutout to your codes)
Idk if it was worth it or not but i love the fragrance so 🤷🏾♂️
spent $400 on 200ml of PDM Layton and am in love with it.
I haven't purchased bottles of my most expensive decants yet. But my most expensive decant I have bought is Valmont Gaggia Medio I and it is incredible worth every penny scent 🔥💪😍
Great show but I want to know your top 3 pics of this ensemble ?
Burlington 1819 is the best. I have tons of creed, parfums, roja....this is in my top 5 easily.
yeah naxos is my first niche frag bought it 2 months ago the store was closing down they were up for 158 dollars so glad i bought it
elisire desire, 30ml at $185, price per ml thats one of the most expensive ive ever bought. totally worth it, it is my wifes favorite. aaron terrence hughes onyx extreme and xerjoff richwood are my next most expensive, but they were less per ml for sure and also worth it
Your taste is so different than mine and perfume is kind of a personal choice but I just love listening to u and u keep me up to date ❤
Ash's L'Homme juice is on life support
The most expensive one I bought was arabians tonka for 120 euros, fantastic scent that with 3 sprays last you 16-18 hours to me and stays in the clothes until you wash them.
Reflection man 45 was insanely expensive, I still sort of regret paying so much for it .. however it has pretty much turned into my signature scent the last month or so .. I like it so much I reach for it at least 4-5 times a week
I want to try this one too, but the price is quite ridiculous. even a 2ml vial is almost $30 USD from Scent Splits
@@MP-od1zz
I got a sample from decantx before I bought the full bottle , it was much cheaper than scent split
They got a 5ml for around 30 dollars I think
@@MP-od1zzI won't even buy the decant, afraid I may like it and swayed to purchase it😢
Definitely one of the best scents ever created! You need only one spray so everyone can smell you around! For me it’s worth the money 100%
Been a while since I watched your channel. Only discovered your new barman’ format a few days ago. Really like it! Relaxed, informative, cool!
Not flexing, but after sampling, spending €350 on Bortnikoff Musk Khabib is my most expensive single bottle. But my various Ensar Oud and Areej Le Dore sets have run me more than that. I have Green Irish Tweed & Aventus from a decade or so ago...Finally, those YSL Le Vestiares are expensive too...Always sample first, folks!
I want to buy PDM Layton when it goes back on sale from a discounter but rumors of reformulation is stopping me from dropping the money. Am I just better off with a high quality clone?
Get a sample of a newer batch first, then you’ll be able to make up your own mind whether it’s worth it or not. 👍🏻
$96 for a 3.4 oz of Tom Ford"s Black Orchid edp is the most I have paid for a fragrance. Very happy with it!
my first bottle like some "niche" frangance is Ajmal, Cashmere woods... at 120 USD, and i love it... now y have like 30 or 40 fragances, like naxos, greenley, hacivat, chez bond, silver birtch, haltane, etc, but Cashmere woods have a place in the collection by first and oudy fragance.
The massive L’Homme bottles are so funny looking 😂 that’s when you know you’re addicted to the fragrance that you don’t care that it looks like a water bottle
They are ridiculously huge, but for me.. I try and get as much juice for my money as possible. I can’t stand having a thousand 1.7, 2.0, or whatever is the next size! I’m a 4.0 oz or more purchaser if they are available. I have 400 bottles now and I have quite a few of the aforementioned sizes that take up too much real estate in my FRAGRANCE cabinet.
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
That "collar gets stuck in the cap" trick happens a lot in the Dunhill Signature fragrances. Very annoying!
It happened so much on my Egyptian Smoke that I used a knife and whittled some of the inside plastic off. It no longer snug but no more collar problems 😂
I bought the large bottle of Green Irish Tweed from Nieman Marcus for $415 a couple of years ago. The lady who sold it to me that the 20 years she sold Creed, she said that she’s never had a better match of parfum to client than I did. It was worth it! It’s such a versatile cologne, and I get a huge amount of compliments!
You're probably the 1000th+ person shes said that to
If it makes you happy, it’s worth it.
I bought Dior Homme Intense because it is discontinued and one of the the best fragrances of all time.
I just got a 125ml of Layton for 165. Don't regret that. But the most I have spent is 250 for Kilian L'Heure Verte. Don't regret it. I f'n love it.
Naxos is a beast
Believe it or not lddm garners me more compliments than any other fragrance i have. That stuff is killllllller
Great video, Ash! 🤘
Percival 125ml is my biggest purchase at £200. £90 for 50ml of Thameen Carved Oud is the biggest in terms of price per ml. That is until, I finally purchase 100ml of Amouage Reflection Man, thats some expensive juice but I simply must have it in my collection.
I've spent 189 euros for sauvage Elixir at a duty free, i think its one of the best scents i've smelled although i never tried any niche fragrance
My most high price my four fragrance from mind games around 360 and higher but still was worth it. Grandmaster,double attack,,,,
Sir, I think the studio looks great. But I would like to add that you should wear something a bit more sharp. It adds to the ambiance when speaking of such expensive fragrances.
I’ve tested a Naxos decant and enjoyed it so far. It’s around 300$ in my country and is there anywhere in the States where I could get for cheaper?
I want Greenley...Just can't imagine it would be worth it
Pricy yes but you don’t always need 100ml, sometimes 10 ml is enough for a year or two or three. Also look for trusted grey market shop for cheaper prices and yeah Chanel doesn’t end up on grey market like mentioned in this vid. Ani, Pegasus exclusif, Ganymede, Ombre Leather and Naxos are my top 5 in no particular order.
This is a scary video for me because I shouldn't be buying more at the moment, but I always want to pick up a new fragrance.. I've been interested in Initio, Roja, MFK, and Maison Crivelli.. I did just buy a couple of the Initio decant bundles..
I wasn't expecting to see designers on here as well..
Naxos is awesome, can't believe you havent gone through that bottle.
i spent £600 sterling (771 US dollars) on a vintage 2010 original formulation 200ml "YSL - La Nuit de L'homme" unopened and sealed in its original box. More of a display piece than anything i will ever open LOL
There was this cologne I am pretty sure it's PRADA that was at JFK in white and black bottles with etching on the glass, smelled amazing but priced for $320 a bottle or so, since I got home I been trying to find it and can't find it anywhere.. Tried Versace, nothing. If anyone knows what I'm talking about PLEASE reply and let me know thank you!
Initio Paragon and Xerjoff Monkey Special. Both around the same price (albeit Paragon is cheaper per ml as it is a 90ml bottle), but both worth every penny. Certainly different occasions, still loving on each wearing.
I have Paragon and I have decant of Monkey Special. Paragon is a nicer scent for me because of the plum that I like in perfume.
PDM Layton is my expensive bottle at 250. I knew I had to have it at first smell. Naxos or Reflection 45 will be my next.
My most expencive so far is roja enigma pour home at £350 for 50ml.. now im saving for herritage from du bois at £580 for 100ml.. Enigma is worth the 350 but i think i will cry when i spend the close to 600 on herritage until i get the bottle in my hands that is.
Creed Royal Oud. 6 bills, & I bought the scent of heaven!! No other scent comes close.
I love Royal Oud too. You might try Clive Christian V as I’ve heard it’s similar to RO.
I just picked up Miller Harris' Oud Eclat after absolutely huffing a sampler I got for weeks. Originally I found a place that had it for €139, but of course it jumped to €179 on the day I got paid... still worth it. I might have even paid retail, though the Dutchman in me would rather not. Might have to when I finally pull the trigger on one of the State of Mind perfumes, though...
my most expensive one is tom ford grey vetiver so far... its worth every penny
I thought we might see something from House of Sillage. Haven’t smelled any of them myself but have heard people compliment a few of their colognes.
Excellent vid Ash!
Great Review 👍
mine, was for my wife, it was Delina Exclusif, and (right now ) jean Paul Gaultier elixir.
I tried Enigma and Burlington at the Roja store in London and I must say I was pretty disappointed by both.
Elysium was amazing but the others were too overbearing and ridiculously expensive.
Paid $250 for my ‘17 Aventus 4oz, 80% left & wouldn’t sell it for $1000
Didn't it expire years ago? Shelf life...
@@PP_Derrick smells the same in ‘23 as it did 6 yrs ago
Greenley is AMAZING!!!
"Haltane" is £300 of perfection. A REAL Gentleman's fragrance from Perfume De Marly 10/10.
I paid full price for interlude, I absolutely Don't regret it
Mine was the Xerjoff Tony Iommi, 270eur and it was woth it ! 😎
for me most expensive per ml is la capitale but most expensive bottle is naxos
Ysl myself or any of bad boys by Carolina Herrera?
I paid $120 for 75ml of Greenley. I like it, but can't say I love it. I thought this is a freshie, can't go wrong. But I didn't like the sharpness.
Silver Mountain Water... I love it. $425
Ash please do a review on ysl babycat, been waiting forever for ur thoughts
I spent a shiny pretty penny on Jayne Ormand montebaco.
Creation -E, Parfum Pour Homme$440plus tax; Oligarch Gold Top EDP $440plus tax;One Luminous Night$375plus tax; Golden Anniversary Roberto Cavalli$375plus tax; Triumph of Bacchus$360plus tax lastly cause I don't want to bore you Burlington 1819$350 plus tax and I love them and every other fragrance I have Ash... Some your recommendations👍
I bought a kenzo aqua because some TH-camrs said its similar to one million lucky.its not even close.
Roja burlighton is one of the grratest parfum for me
Did you just say even if you buy Parfums de marly from a reputable discount website, its still fake? I just bought Sedley from Auro Frangrences, will it not be real when I get it?
Valiant - Boadicea. Yes.
Vanitizia - Creed. No.
Bond No. 9 - Black Sapohire. Yes.
Shalimar - Guerlain. Yes. (But Mitzouko - no)
Mojave Ghost for me $400+ . Only wear it when it’s hot or in Vegas 😂
This in itself is a perfect collection
