Where’s Dolce & Gabbana? I would choose pour Homme from their line, a wonderful fougere scent. And also missed Armani! I would go with AdG Profondo, awesome aquatic scent 🌊 👍
H24 EDP is awesome. I have all the Bleu de Chanel. Deoderant, shaving cream, aftershave, EDT, EDP and Parfum. I'll choose H24 EDP in the warmer weather since I picked it up. Unique and classy.
@@gabrieltjokroamidjojo7980I'm not going to disagree. It's nice and easy to wear, but now I have 50 scents to pick from. All the BDC are getting a bit dusty. Lol.
Due to financial struggles and high prices of fragnances in my country retail (Zimbabwe), i gravitate towards bvglari and coach fragnances. Sometimes i get into david beckham colognes, they are affordable but still go above 50 usd for 50 ml. Its hard being a collector but my most expensive fragnance i have is stronger with you by emporio armani. Too bad i dont use if much because its a winter or cold weather fragnance, of which this side we mostly exposed to hot weather. I love the elixir sauvage but need convincing that its a versatile fragnance
I am in Argentina and frags are very expensive here as well. I have sauvage elixir and i think it's versatile enough (not for humid high heat), but you should sample it or buy a decant because it's very spicy and it can be too much for some people.
ARTISAN PURE by John Varvatos Is also an excellent choice even though it’s harder to find now. I love that you put Guy Laroche Drakken Noir on your shelf as it’s still a great cologne!!!👍👍👍
Definitely a banger I love. I always bring up JV Artisan Pure too. It’s not hard to find either. Fragrancebuy always has a healthy supply of 125ml bottles. Tester or full presentation are both available. The tester runs about 29-32$ while the full pres runs about 33-35$.
My mom bought a bottle of AP 2 days after I showed it to her because I wanted it (Im male). She was so surprised by it. I like the original a lot too though. It gets overshadowed a lot and is a bit more masculine.
I may sound like a broken record but Givenchy Gentleman EDP Boisee. Just up or down the sprays depending on the season. In winter/late fall/early spring spray heavy. In summer, early fall/late spring spray a bit less. Works in every situation. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Kind of funny how fragrance pulls you in. When I first got into fragrance, I was all about clones and cheapies. I mean if I could smell like creed for a fraction of the price, it was just a no brainer starting out. In my mind, spending that kind of money on something that was purely a luxury item was just unfathomable. Then I kind of found myself gravitating towards designers and away from the clones and cheapies. Not fully. I’d still pick up a clone or cheapie if there was a lot of community hype. But as a whole, I was heading more towards affordable designers. My purchases became more about quality over quantity. At first, it was cheaper designers on discounters. Paco Rabanne, Versace, etc. Then I started ordering even less frequently and going for higher end designers. (Dior, Chanel, Armani) But soon those weren’t quite scratching the itch in the same way either. It wasn’t long after that that I finally decided that it was time to dive headfirst into niche. I’ve always been smart about it though. I never blind buy anymore. I always sample decants before making any kind of purchase. I would also say that my rate of purchase has dropped to a quarterly expense(compared to weekly 😅) And while 85% of what I wear on a regular basis are still designer fragrances, I have finally come to appreciate what the niche experience is all about.
I went to a yard sale and bought some kid’s cologne collection for $50. Everything was 1/2 bottles or more 50% of them were 90% full. Now I have 10 Versache s and Burberry’s and Paco Robain’s yadayada Lacoste. One of my favorites is Lalique Encre Noir and I like the designers but also like cheap stuff like Cremo black vanilla spice and target #2 & 6
Dior Homme 2020 to me has some aquatics, it's just an Ok fragrance for me, not even a Like. I smell in it some resemblance to Blue de Chanel. Was surprised to see I'm not the only one who thinks that. Currently there are more than 300 submissions for that association in Fragrantica, even if also more than 600 submissions reporting the contrary. Designer's I'd recommend as year round options, so "Only fragrance" candidates: Montblanc Explorer Prada L'Homme Terre de Hermes EDT Terre de Hermes Parfum Bleu de Chanel EDP Dior Sauvage EDT (yes I would recommend it :) Issey Miyake L'Eau Bleue de Issey Guerlain Vetiver
@@lucasburke8074 Depends :) They are similar. Whoever likes vetiver would love both. The parfum projects slightly less for me, but is a tad more balanced and mature, serene. The EDT is fresher and a tad bit louder, still very classy though. Some find the EDT's bitter orange opening too aggresive, I don't. But because of that the parfum might be a tad more wearable in general. It is more expensive though.
I'd add . Miyake Wood & Wood, similar to Dior Homme 2020 . Cartier Pasha edt, which I recently tried and liked a lot, it's fresh, spicy, clean . Davidoff Cool Water parfum
Bushido Blade was an amazing game. I’d always upset my friends in vs. mode by starting off the fight with a throwing knife or shuriken throw and instantly killing them, lol
Burberry Hero is really nice, it might not be some groundbreaking fragrance, but I simply love the way it smells and it's not too loud.. I also think OG Prada Luna Rosa is perfect for year-round, its clean and minty freshness contrasts well in the winter..
How about some fragrances which AREN'T as sweet that can be worn year round?? Dunhill Icon, Quorum Silver, Boss Bottled Night, Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, Guerlain Vetiver, Rochas L'homme and Drakkar Noir!
Dude if you're putting on 21 sprays I promise you're the only one not smelling it. People go anosmic to smells all the time. It's definitely there your nose just isn't picking up on it from olfactory fatigue.
I remember when G4 TV was still around they had interviewed this guy that was saying all of his favorite ps1 games and Bushido blade was one of them. "BUSHIDO BLADE! WAHHHHSHINEEEE"
I agree with 99.9% of what you said about Bleu De Chanel. The compliment factor being the only one I cannot get behind. The majority of people I've asked have admitted that they have never been complimented while wearing BDC, mother's/grandmother's/aunts not counting. As far as "Blue's" go, Versace Dylan Blue and Coach have been much more successful while Le Beau has been the King of King's. If you want attention from female's then JPG Le Beau works 1,000,000,000% of the time. If you don't want attention from the ladies then I'd advise you to steer clear of Le Beau, Le Male and every flanker they have out now and every one they release in the future 🔥🤘🏼
@@redhitarou I've been wanting to try that stuff for months now but haven't come across it. Macy's/Ulta/Sephora all tell me they're getting some in shortly but it never happens. But as soon as I see it I'm going to buy it immediately and hopefully, if it's similar to the Le Beau EDT, it will earn a spot in my permanent rotation
@danieljohnston2585 contrary to me, I cant find Le Beau edt in any local stores. Got myself both le parfum and I like them the most out of my designer collection along with 1M royal. But to me le beau l'parfum is somewhat heavy for high heat everyday wear.
Not that I could just stick to one frag but gun to my head I'd pick Acqua di Gio Profumo, Le Male le Parfum or Dior Homme 2011. Then I'd take a bullet to the dome not being able to choose one...
I just bought a cologne I tried 3 years ago. It smells too much like cumin for me and now im sad 😔. I really liked it before because it smelled like really strong cinnamon befkre Cologne: Wanted By Night; Azarro Not a fake. it's authentic.
here are some inexpensive options: Oudh al Misk by Rasasi Black Edition by Bentley Ejaazi Intensive Silver by Lattafa Wave by Missoni L'Homme by Rochas L'Eau d'Issey Intense by Issey Miyake Pour Homme by Boucheron
Gucci Guilty Elixir De Parfum is incredible. Of all the Elixirs, it might be my favourite. Sauvage Elixir is fantastic but Gucci Guilty Elixir wins in versatility
Shame on me... I actually didn't get the joke with the Valentino name but thankfully I was taking a sip of my Monster energy drink when you explained it by saying "I hope you cleaned that up" because I was able to spit my drink on my shirt as punishment.
Why do you have to put those bottles so close to the edge once you show them. Whenever you move your hands so close to them while talking, it gives me anxiety 😓
I love how Ash makes a video aimed at a person who wants one fragrance to do everything, watched by people who want them all.
LOL True
Where’s Dolce & Gabbana? I would choose pour Homme from their line, a wonderful fougere scent. And also missed Armani! I would go with AdG Profondo, awesome aquatic scent 🌊 👍
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed night
Ash is working hard and giving us what we like. Thanks Ash.. you're the best.
Happy Ash is a loose Ash... my favorite kind of Ash!
H24 EDP is awesome. I have all the Bleu de Chanel. Deoderant, shaving cream, aftershave, EDT, EDP and Parfum. I'll choose H24 EDP in the warmer weather since I picked it up. Unique and classy.
i agree, it has something that makes it addicting
BDC is overrated AF imo
@@gabrieltjokroamidjojo7980I'm not going to disagree. It's nice and easy to wear, but now I have 50 scents to pick from. All the BDC are getting a bit dusty. Lol.
Homme 2020 is my new signature scent. It’s amazing. I want a stronger and denser version of the same profile.
Love your channel. Great vid! Love that GTA reference when you dropped the bottle…… I laughed out loud! 😂
Great video indeed. Thx a lot. Wishing you a wonderful day. Cheers from SWEDEN
Nice vid, and yes I do remember Bushido Blade.

Ok so its more of a special occasion fragnance when you want to be noticed than a daily fragnance
Roja Elysium is forever my favorite
Yeah when you steal it.
Showing my age as well, loved Bushido Blade, you are not alone!
ARTISAN PURE by John Varvatos Is also an excellent choice even though it’s harder to find now. I love that you put Guy Laroche Drakken Noir on your shelf as it’s still a great cologne!!!👍👍👍

I recently bought another bottle for $24. Can't let it pass .
My mom bought a bottle of AP 2 days after I showed it to her because I wanted it (Im male). She was so surprised by it.
I like the original a lot too though. It gets overshadowed a lot and is a bit more masculine.
It would have to be Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme
Great video and list, Ash!
just put in an order for a 200ml bottle of Coach for men. I've been sampling a lot lately and it was a winner for me
I may sound like a broken record but Givenchy Gentleman EDP Boisee. Just up or down the sprays depending on the season. In winter/late fall/early spring spray heavy. In summer, early fall/late spring spray a bit less. Works in every situation. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
i really love pushido Blade....
Eagerly waiting for your videos.
2:35 shame it didn’t break, since you risky it all the time I’ve been waiting for you to drop one already 😂

I feel like I’m in the early stages of this journey… moving on from weekly cheapie and clone to cheaper designers…😂
Sounds almost exactly like my experience ❤️🙏
I feel like I’m in the middle stages of your journey 😅😅😅😅
Kenzo Homme EDP 2022 is great. One of my favorite recent pickups. I'm on the H24 EDP hype train myself. I think it's awesome
I went to a yard sale and bought some kid’s cologne collection for $50.

Terre de Hermes EDT
Terre de Hermes Parfum
Bleu de Chanel EDP
Dior Sauvage EDT (yes I would recommend it :)
Issey Miyake L'Eau Bleue de Issey
Guerlain Vetiver
@raulsaavedra709 terre dermes edt or parfum, if you had to choose?

Bushido Blade was great. Loved the realism in it. One shot kills with all the blood 🩸
My friends and I have had bushido blade tournaments. I loaded it onto my ps1 classic. Lots of fun memories playing that game.
Going to a wedding in summer, not sure what would be the best option. Could you help out with that? 🤷🏽♂️
I'd add
. Miyake Wood & Wood, similar to Dior Homme 2020
. Cartier Pasha edt, which I recently tried and liked a lot, it's fresh, spicy, clean
. Davidoff Cool Water parfum
Burberry Touch is a fragrance I will love for life.
Hi ash, can you check brand mauboussin, very under the radar brand, best choices of this brand would be une historie d homme, cristal oud
Cool water 💦 during winter 🥶
I definitely played bushido blade. I played it on the demo when ps1 first came out.
Explorer had to be there , great everyday work scent 👌
I find PE America to be closer to Cedrat Boise. Very nice cheapie.
Please tell me what smells like Armani Code Colonia
Anyone tried CK eternity now? I tried it and loved it but it doesnt last as long as i would like and I was looking for something similar
Bushido Blade and Omnimusha were amazing 😂
B Blade old school. I had it back in the day👍
Bushido Blade was an amazing game. I’d always upset my friends in vs. mode by starting off the fight with a throwing knife or shuriken throw and instantly killing them, lol
Love Bushido blade, that survival mode!
Fruit Ninja, Ash! 😊👍
I understood the Bushido Blade reference! 🩷
Love your content bro, keep up the amazing vids🤩 imo best fragrance creator
Burberry Hero is really nice, it might not be some groundbreaking fragrance, but I simply love the way it smells and it's not too loud.. I also think OG Prada Luna Rosa is perfect for year-round, its clean and minty freshness contrasts well in the winter..
I agree. It’s nothing crazy but I feel classy when wearing Hero. It’s simple. Go Bucks!
Ralph's Club EDP is awesome
Dior Home 2020 or Sauvage Elixir?
How about some fragrances which AREN'T as sweet that can be worn year round?? Dunhill Icon, Quorum Silver, Boss Bottled Night, Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, Guerlain Vetiver, Rochas L'homme and Drakkar Noir!
Bushido Blade was my favorite game back in those days… 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥
Not the biggest fan of my Coach Blue. It last barely an hour, even after I put on 21 sprays
Dude if you're putting on 21 sprays I promise you're the only one not smelling it. People go anosmic to smells all the time. It's definitely there your nose just isn't picking up on it from olfactory fatigue.
My versatile fragrance is Armani Code Parfum
Paid $220 AUD for 75ml it's still one of the best men's DNA colognes on the market.
Polo green intense.
Go Ash!
This has to be your funniest video I was laughing the whole time 😂😂
I get it but that is why I have a lot cause I love having different scents
Definitely played BB
I remember when G4 TV was still around they had interviewed this guy that was saying all of his favorite ps1 games and Bushido blade was one of them. "BUSHIDO BLADE! WAHHHHSHINEEEE"

I kinda do want Dior homme original
H24 is OG Polo green only fresh,aquatic and versatile.
4:00 That's a man of culture
nice
Lol Bushido Blade... I still have it
I just bought a cologne I tried 3 years ago. It smells too much like cumin for me and now im sad 😔.
I really liked it before because it smelled like really strong cinnamon befkre
Cologne: Wanted By Night; Azarro
Not a fake. it's authentic.
I’d rather have 15 choices for each occasion than 1 for life…
Respectfully it seems self-explanatory
Uhh... then the video probably isn't for you? Weird input.
Words to live by
Umm ya. I think you're preaching to the choir here.
I've bought 15 this month. Easy. Lol.
Not everyone shares that sentiment, which is why this video is relevant, and not for people like us lol
Dior homme original
Ah, you have one of my favorites featured in Le Leau/ Le Parfum. If you let that one sit for a couple of months it gets sweeter and lasts longer IMO.
The “ahhhhhs” after “….step towards loving vetiver” made me pop hard 🤣
here are some inexpensive options:
Oudh al Misk by Rasasi
Black Edition by Bentley
Ejaazi Intensive Silver by Lattafa
Wave by Missoni
L'Homme by Rochas
L'Eau d'Issey Intense by Issey Miyake
Pour Homme by Boucheron
Bushido blade or samurai showdown
EYYYY SHOUT OUT TO BUSHIDO BLADE!! 🗡🗡🗡⚔⚔⚔
That yellow dream line killed me lol
Bushido Blade player, here.
Lalique pour homme edp lion
Plz get lowered down from the ceiling - it'll be awesome
I played Bushido Blade 😂😂😂
Gucci Guilty Elixir De Parfum is incredible. Of all the Elixirs, it might be my favourite. Sauvage Elixir is fantastic but Gucci Guilty Elixir wins in versatility
Did not know Kezo is a designer brand
JPG lebeau le parfum is nowhere to find. Not even in Macy's
This perplexes me. I reside in Southern Africa and it is in abundant supply here. Why is it so hard to find in North America
Shame on me... I actually didn't get the joke with the Valentino name but thankfully I was taking a sip of my Monster energy drink when you explained it by saying "I hope you cleaned that up" because I was able to spit my drink on my shirt as punishment.
Dylan Blue
Fakhar Black
1 Million Parfum
Eeos Flame
The one Edp
CK Shock
Gentleman Boisee
Bushido Blade. One hitter quitter.
I yellow dreamed all over myself 😂. Lol I leave I'll leave 😅
Here for the Bushido blade comments 😂
Didn't know Bushido had a fragrance
Coach green is 🔥 getting no love ❤️ from you tho😢😢😢
You can love Homme and 2020 they literally play for the same team lol
Some people in the fragrance think every fragrance smells like Aventus.
😊
Coach will stay on from the car to the house
Still have the game somewhere.
👍👍👍👍
Wow, Bushido Blade reference in 2023.
Can only have one fragrance and it has to be designer fragrance? BDC Parfum.
Why do you have to put those bottles so close to the edge once you show them. Whenever you move your hands so close to them while talking, it gives me anxiety 😓
😂
Jesus loves you✝️
You’re hilarious man
