I wish perfume influencers would switch "must own" too must try. Some of these most owns, for me, are must not own but that would be true for all of us collectors.
Agreed. In reality, there is no fragrance that is "must own." And, if you want fragrances, you do not need 25. A person could get by with one fragrance that could cover most, if not all situations. For some variety, four to five could do the job. A "collector" may want more and, as anyone who frequents these types of videos, there are collectors (beyond producers of youtube content) who own significantly more than 25 bottles. Not criticizing. Just saying that there is no such thing as "must own."
Prada Lhomme is an amazing versatile scent even if it revolves around iris because its soapy fresh rather than waxy or makeup like. The best designer iris in my books
Funnily, I don’t like it at all. The overpowering incense note is too much for me. Can’t stand it. Encre noir is a real masterpiece for me. Well done Natalie lorsson.
Absolutely. If I didn't have such a bad fragrance addiction I would only own 2. Le Male Le Parfum for Fall and Winter months and Le Beau for spring and summer. Never met anyone who disliked either of them, anyone over the age of 6 that is.
For me it's a gamble when I spray it, sometimes it smells wonderful, that gorgeous vanilla and iris. But sometimes it just smells sour for some reason (still smells OK, not bad), one of my friends even said that it smelt like cigarettes. Never heard anyone else share this experience but I just wonder what could be the reason.
I picked up ck shock a little bit before your video came out about it, wore it to work and got decent complements and when I told them what it was they were impressed with it cause it’s ck!
I really like you’re trying to keep Prada L’Homme alive. You bringing it up is probably driving the 6 sales they make a week of it. Another One of the best fragrance lines going the way of the dinosaurs.
Kind of breaks my heart that Spicebomb didn’t make this list. It’s not discounted by much and is an incredible scent. I know it’s hard to pull off in summer heat but every now and then I’d grab the bottle and just sniff the heck out of it. In that single moment, it’s HEAVEN
Ck one shock smells absolutely amazing i think its better the dolce and gabbana the one redundant shame about the performance maybe it used to be better
I wear Ombre Leather Parfum almost everyday. It's absolutely addictive, and the dry down is very clean smelling, yet unique, which is what I usually try to go for. I was also absolutely repelled by African Leather and Encre Noir. I like safe, easy fragrances as I'm not really trying to make a statement with my scent, I just want to smell nice in about a 1-2 ft bubble around me, and I enjoy catching whiffs throughout the day. I also love Layton, and I notice people wearing other fragrances/lotions that smell a lot like it.
Excellent list, Ash. I have all but five, missing F&M Late Harvest, AdP Essenza, Nio, Ck Shock, and Y EDT. Of those, I have more than enough similar scents to cover those scent profiles. I purchased most on your recommendation, and all have been worthwhile stalwarts in my collection.
@@sevenbrick7275 I appreciate your comment. I find all ck fragrances smell like 20 buck frags. Oh yea, that’s what they pretty much all cost nowadays. 😅 I own a bottle of ck one and a couple of the better reviewed summer releases, but haven’t enjoyed wearing any of them very much.
@@martonmanuel3546 Thanks for the comment. I have decided to skip it. However, since my original comment, I picked up Fort & Manley Late Harvest. On first spray, it brought back comforting childhood memories of my grandfather opening a tobacco tin to fill his pipe. Might not work for everyone, but both my grandfathers smoked and I loved the smell of tobacco on their shirts, even though I am not a smoker.
Watching from Botswana,Southern Africa🇧🇼 Picked up Joop Wow because of you,great scent! I’m looking for Hugo Boss the Scent next I’m curious (I’m in college,second year)
HELP! I'm running extremely low on Light Blue Italian Love, and I can't find it anywhere. Same with Light Blue Forever. I'd like something that's as close to IL as possible, and reasonably priced (= no Xerjoff, PDM, Creed, Tom Ford Private Blend etc.)
You should recommend essential parfums o Maison matine , niche that cost less than 100 bucks , haven’t seen the video and already know all the fragances u about to mention g
Have a question about Montales Honey Aoud: Is it easier to wear than Swiss Arabian Shagaf Oud gold? The first our it smells weird but I really like the vanilla drydown of Shagaf Oud.
Shagaf is radioactive, the montale is going to be a little more earthy smelling. If you like a vanilla base note it isn't the right Montale. On the other side, Manceras have some really great vanilla scents.
i have Y parfum and i feel like all the YSL cologne’s smell similar enough to where you’d be waisting your money getting the others. at least the homme or the new one
your mic recording is still very scratchy, i was hoping youd see my last comment a couple of videos ago. im not sure if its broken or if the gain settings are messed up but it sounds very scratchy and distorted.
If its must own the list should be 5, i mean encre noir made it and 9/10 would not like that. Maybe EN sport but even that needs a specific alignment of the stars to wear for most id imagine.
Ash, you mention Dior Homme Intense (2011) sooo soo soo often but it cannot be found anywhere. Stop teasing us. We know you have it and love it, but we'll never get our hands on it.
hey Ash. thank you for this great video. please do a review on swedish wood by pana dora. a "new" niche house(4 years already). fantastic quality and presentation 10/10
An excellent list. Respectfully though, gotta disagree about Le Male original EDT being played out. The one that consistently gets the elusive compliments that so many other fragrances promise. An all time classic for a reason, and if it works well with your skin chemistry then absolutely still wear it with confidence.
I wish perfume influencers would switch "must own" too must try. Some of these most owns, for me, are must not own but that would be true for all of us collectors.
😂😂 great response
I agree 100%. Must try for the experience, but definitely not must own.

Must own "TO" must try. The word is "to" brother, not too

Le male Le parfum is an absolute MASTERPIECE! If there’s any fragrance I’d recommend it would be that. It’s just perfect imo

CK One and CK Escape were great in their prime.
To me it has very bad longevity
The intros are getting better and better and I'm here for it.
I really like you’re trying to keep Prada L’Homme alive. You bringing it up is probably driving the 6 sales they make a week of it. Another One of the best fragrance lines going the way of the dinosaurs.
BdC should be a staple in every man's collection.

i totally agree. I get lots of compliments with it and i'm really addicted to that pink pepper opening.
Prada L'homme is perfect office fragrance!!
I love when you actually list the names with the hyperlinks. It makes it easier to add these to the plethora of fragrance list I have.
Lalique White is a phenomenal, gorgeous scent.
Wish it had a better performance.
6.48 Thanks for the information
I’ve smelled galloway from PDM and it’s a nice slightly weird Luxurious scent. How’s Lalique compared to it?

Encre Noire is a masterpiece, but if you want something safer I gotta reccomend the sport flanker.
Encre doesn’t last tho
Hey awesome you have Envy and Drakkar on the top..!
No Chanel and No Guerlain….Two of the best and most sophisticated houses in the top 25. Lol. Amazing Ash 👏
Chanel doesn’t do affiliate links so he doesn’t promote
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
essenza is absolutely fantastic, such a boss scent
where can you go to smell niche fragrances like PDM and Xerjoff?
Excellent list, Ash. I have all but five, missing F&M Late Harvest, AdP Essenza, Nio, Ck Shock, and Y EDT. Of those, I have more than enough similar scents to cover those scent profiles. I purchased most on your recommendation, and all have been worthwhile stalwarts in my collection.
Ck shock imo smells like 20 bucks. I owned for a bit but returned because it had no depth and I found it extremely boring. Smells fine, but boring

Skip CK Shock, literally 0 performance, it’s a skin scent after 30 minutes and it’s gone in less than 2 hours

wow these r 25 must NOT own. ck one is nice but last like 20 min. moustache is lovely. terre de hermes is phenomenal, dior homme intense is nice.
Will Mancera come out with a Red Tobacco Intense?
Can u please do a review on Zara Man fragrances?
Nice choices I have 18 of that list amazing perfumes thanks for that list man
Watching from Botswana,Southern Africa🇧🇼
Picked up Joop Wow because of you,great scent!
I’m looking for Hugo Boss the Scent next I’m curious
(I’m in college,second year)
Can you make a video about more woods collection!?
Love that lineup!!
HELP!
I'm running extremely low on Light Blue Italian Love, and I can't find it anywhere. Same with Light Blue Forever. I'd like something that's as close to IL as possible, and reasonably priced (= no Xerjoff, PDM, Creed, Tom Ford Private Blend etc.)
You might just have to go with Light Blue Eau Intense or Light Blue Summer Vibes. Eau Givree and Profondo are other options.
Profondo is more marine aquatic but not as intense of a citrus blast
Great List!!
Babe babe wake up, a new Gents Scents video dropped
Great job of getting through all of those!👍
One fragrance Ash turned me onto was Vetiver Sensual! I never hear about it much? But it's amazing. Finished half a bottle since March.
I've almost blind bought that one a few times. I need something vetiver that isnt just earthy and dark in my collection.
@@cwmoreashi'd recommend Davidoff adventure it has a nice light creamy vetiver and with 25 Bucks for 100ml it doesn't Break the bank
You should recommend essential parfums o Maison matine , niche that cost less than 100 bucks , haven’t seen the video and already know all the fragances u about to mention g

Nice list! I have roughly 1/3 of them and have tried a few others. I like these videos.
ADP Colonia Essenza is an absolute masterpiece of a fragrance. It literally Just needs great projection and longevity and it’s a top tier beast.
your mic recording is still very scratchy, i was hoping youd see my last comment a couple of videos ago. im not sure if its broken or if the gain settings are messed up but it sounds very scratchy and distorted.
Great job
Prada lhomme intense hasn’t been too bad to find lately
These intros are gold😂
Picked up Prada L’Homme intense in Amsterdam a couple weeks ago before heading back home to the U.S.
Worthy blind buy!
👍 nice list, I like the choice 👍💯
Great list!
Thanks!
How about Amouage jubilation xxv ?
Can't believe I've never smelled VIW. I own SMW and Aventus Cologne. Is it redundant?
Nah not at all
VIW is more tropical, like lime/coconut vibe
lol...your intros are getting better and better
Naxos is one of the best cool weather scents but it’s not the best Xerjoff, not even close.
I thought we were going to get actual wardrobe accessories. I was looking for cool ways to display my collection.
Yeah... I started wanting only 24... Now I have 220 😆
Wow! Wish to sample all. My wife thinks that I have enough with just 3. Lol
The Prada intense is available in the UK from discounters as of 17-08-23
Which discounter?
@@colmfarrel4742 Escentual
I’m really impressed with CK One reflections it’s great, cheap, and under appreciated
Cool video
nice intro! 😁
givenchy gentleman reserve clone?
Very weird to see Lalique white in a review list.👍
Whats another scent like aqua di gio combined with chanel allure homme sport? That is cheap warm weather gym type fresh scent
My blood pressure when you're gesticulating quickly near all those bottles 📈📈
Much love from Chinaaaaaa
Those fragances behind you are your favourites?
Usually a fan of your videos but this one was lazy… felt like you just picked out random fragrances and decided to call them “must own”
Best intro ever. Hahaha
I wouldn’t care to own 80% of this list. I wouldn’t consider them “must own” at all. Must try would be a more appropriate title
Thats clickbait, really just a review of random colognes
If its must own the list should be 5, i mean encre noir made it and 9/10 would not like that. Maybe EN sport but even that needs a specific alignment of the stars to wear for most id imagine.
All you need is Halcyon by Soma Parfums.
I don't think PLI is discontinued.
Prada Loam
Hahahahahahahaha 25?!?! Naniiiiiiiiii 😂😂😂😂 you’ve been watching too much anime of late I can tell ash Ketchum 😂😂😂
For the intro, youve gotta get a like looool
Ash, you mention Dior Homme Intense (2011) sooo soo soo often but it cannot be found anywhere. Stop teasing us. We know you have it and love it, but we'll never get our hands on it.
villain: nani? kenshiro: ups.. omae wa mou shindeiru mate
Still think Xerjoff Renaissance beats out Nio 10/10 times. The opening in itself is a masterpiece
Am going to thailand in November any recommendations thanks
I would recommend you to be careful of the ladyboys
@@SausageDoggg 🤣🤣🤣
12:29
Prada LHomme L Eau is the best one by far
Nio like 275😢😢😢😢
25 frags is what i been aiming for got 23.. gonna get another 2 next week and maybe stop at 30
"You need 25 fragrances, or you're already dead"
"What!!"
ADPCE is an absolute classic!
the open LOL
Hey.. question.. what holds you back from decanting some of your fragrances?
Photorealistic : looking like a photograph or film of a real person, place, etc.
Snake, snake, drakkaaaar
hey Ash. thank you for this great video. please do a review on swedish wood by pana dora. a "new" niche house(4 years already). fantastic quality and presentation 10/10
I think Armani Code Parfum should be on here for sure!
I have jet black 😂
Ombre leather smells in my opinion a bit like old man but I think I associate it with that because my grandpa wears it
Y edp is phenomenal, edt is mediocre
There's something in the dry down of encre noir that disgusts me. I really like the initial spray though. 🤔
the best introooo eveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer you make me laugh thanks h
An excellent list. Respectfully though, gotta disagree about Le Male original EDT being played out. The one that consistently gets the elusive compliments that so many other fragrances promise. An all time classic for a reason, and if it works well with your skin chemistry then absolutely still wear it with confidence.
More than half of these are actually mid and shouldn’t be named as “must own”. There are many frags that should be considered in the first place
I"m in the minority where i dislike DH intense , much prefer Guerlain L'H Ideal extreme 👌
I have and love both of those great frags.
I thought the background was green screen
👍👍👍👍👍
🤘
Great video, smell you later homes.
🎉🎉🎉🎉
how sick would that be if ash would do a give away that bottle of gucci envy?
