Amazing job on this video. This would've come in handy when I first got started 6 months ago. Those of us who view your content routinely have pretty much already learned this from you in one way or another. I still found it comforting knowing that most of what I assumed was made clear with this video. Best of luck to all the new Fragheads like MYSELF out there in FRAGRANCE WORLD. (LOL, did you see what I did there?)
I like to mix scent’s from time to time to make signature smells. One of my favorite is spray Armani code black edt on skin one spray in your favorite spots then follow up with Dior sauvage one spray favorite spots. This combo is lethal and lovely. Don’t over spray this one no more than 8 sprays total (4 max from each bottle)
This was a pretty neat little guide. This type of video brings me back to when I first started exploring fragrances when I would blind buy samples not knowing anything about fragrances beside Sauvage. I kept getting things like Habit Rouge, Heritage, Xervyus Rouge, Bois de Portugal, even Kouros which weren't my thing but eventually things started kicking once I blind bought Dior Homme, Herod, Layton, and Jazz Club and it was all over from there!

Excellent video!!!!!!!!, I really don't know how many years I've been following you, I've learned, sometimes I dislike you, other times I enjoy and laugh, I saw this video, like almost all the other videos and what I liked most about it is how digestible the explanation is. I have a part-time job on the weekends, and I almost always have to attend to those who come for perfumes, it's become a habit. Sometimes I've tried to explain things like this, people are satisfied, not because you show that you know something, but because they begin to understand, which is the most important thing.
Great job explaining all this. If your new id grab Polo 64, Bleu De Chanel, and Orada l’homme and for a date night I’d grab GPG Le Male Elixir and Afnan Supreme Collectors Edition. That’s all you need to start newbies
Dude fragrance net is sometimes more expensive that retailers like Macy’s and Sephora’s. I don’t understand. And sometimes macys has 20% off often and makes that much better deal.
@@ChadAV69 no I check fragrancenet all year round and it’s always more expensive than jomashop. One time I even bought directly from Sephora because the cologne I really wanted was only dollars more and at that point I’d rather buy from a retail store like Sephora or Macy’s
Hey, looking for some recomendations. I would love a blue type of fragrance, that isnt sweet. For some reason, i just dont rly like the sweet blue fragrances. So something leaning more woody or mineralic etc. Also preferably something that can be used somewhat year round, or atleast not just a summer fragrance.
17:01 “[…] and from there, you can start getting into specific seasonal fragrances”. What makes a fragrance seasonal? Why would I wear fresh fragrances in the summer but not winter, for example? I’ve been following fragrance channels for about 4 years, and I haven’t found a single explanation for this. Take this guide, for instance. 18 minutes of _everything_ you need to know about fragrances as a beginner, yet the seasonal part is presented as a given without any explanation as to the why.
I think like citrus type scents are summer based as they are fresh. Sweet, spicy scents for colder weather as they cut through the cold better. ( Something along those lines anyway ).
@@Mike-1000 Right I’ve heard that. But what does cutting through the cold even mean? And what cold? Weather isn’t typically a factor in your home/office/store/club/bar/car/etc setting, and in the time the average person spends outside in the winter, they have little to no interaction with others. But even if you were hypothetically outside in the freezing cold surrounded by fellow penguins, are we suggesting that others won’t smell fresh fragrances because those won’t “cut through the cold”? I don’t get it.
@@jc_alpha I believe that citrus / freshies do not last long in the cold. Personally I wear what I feel like regardless. This is as far as my knowledge goes, hope you get your answers. 👍
When it comes to the sprays it depends on the fragrance. 5 sprays of a light fragrance like JIMMY CHOO MAN ICE, AZZARO CHROME EDT, Calvin Klein DEFY EDT, VERSACE Pour Homme EDT, etc will last you like less than 2 hours at best. With those freshies you want to over spray (about 10 to 15 sprays). Now, outside of light freshies (EDP Blue Fragrances, Oriental Spicy, Woody Aromatic, Fougere, etc) you want to do about 5 to 7 sprays. Lastly, with the super heavy fragrances such as some Gourmand Fragrances, Most Oud Fragrances, and Leather 3 sprays max should suffice.
PLEASE go test things out first people, do not buy anything just because a fragrance reviewer likes it. With me personally, there’s many of the “popular” fragrances that reviewers rave about that I’m so glad I tested because I ended up not liking them at all and I would be so mad if I just blind bought it.

This sounds crazy but the one thing I CONSTANTLY get compliments from when I’m wearing it is Patchouli oil. Just Patchouli oil. lol And I mean unsolicited compliments from complete strangers!
I just bought my first two fragrances, Versace pour homme and Dylan blue. I was told it only last for 3-4 hours… but for some reason my Versace pour homme last 7 hours with 1 spray on polo, another in right pocket (Dylan blue haven’t arrived yet)… so is this normal or not?
Absolu aventus or imagination - only other I would consider is tuxedo because I feel like it’s light enough for all seasons but can hold up in the winter too
I got a misprinted box and flakes in the juice on a bottle of mancera cidrat boise intense. Looks like a snow globe.

Got it from fragranceNet SMMFH
I like the way he explains it in a very simple way and doesn’t make it this magical “journey” others do it. There’s a British dude “analyzing “ this video and to me is just piggybacking on Ash….go and create your own content….

I’m surprised he didn’t talk about how fragrances get discontinued like hot cakes. That’s a crucial topic lol

Bleu de chanel
@pghd8729 yeah, ive thought abt that, do you now of any cheaper alternative? Not a clone, but a similiar type
@@davidcollins445 narcisso Rodriguez blue noir
@AutumnFuneral which version?
@davidcollins445 worth trying all 3 concentrations in my opinion, most likely edp and parfum
English Laundry Crown is soooooo underrated! Highly recommended
I use XDP as an acronym for Extrait de Parfum.
Finally, a video at my level.
17:01 “[…] and from there, you can start getting into specific seasonal fragrances”.

I thought this was pretty self-evident.
@Alritealritealrite It is but not everyone knows hence the comment which aligns with the topic of the video.

From some of the discounters, if I purchase a cologne that I do not like what is the return policy?
I‘d be down for one hour long videos 😏
First of all, we do have the same name! Secondly, just do the 1 hour video! I love you content and work!

I’m glad this said idiot and not beginner. I have like 90 frags and I consider myself an idiot cuz I blind bought everything…
which discounters ship internationally??? Japan, for instance.
