I recently picked up Missoni Wave as a blind buy and was amazed by how nice it is and how easy it is to wear it. Easy dumb grab when you don't know what you want to wear. Also a bargain.
Got the Polo Deep Blue Parfume. Almost couldnt smell it on myself after just a couple of minutes.. =/ Thats made me to believe that Swedish cold temprature kills it.. Im very very curious how it will work in Tropical climate. Gonna bring it on vacation and try it out. Have you done a vdeo on HOW fragrance differ in hot vs cold weather?
Love your videos, lots of great info, keep up the great work! Been out of the fragrance game for a while, so it's nice to listen to someone who doesn't have this uppity, snooty attitude and is about as down-to-earth as possible. Appreciate that.
I was just thinking something similar. I sub to several fragrance content creators. One (of many) reasons I like GentScents is his basic relatable descriptive comparison words allow me to get a true sense of the fragrance before I smell it. He also says “this” smells kinda like “that” with a little of “this over here” mixed into it, which I understand!!
Blind bought Missoni Wave when picking up some other scents. Wearing it now actually. lol Very impressed. Great scent. Great cap (I'm easily amused too). Great atomizer. Missoni Parfum Pour Homme also impressed me. Never heard of Missoni until recently.
@@chriscampos7217 Jumping in here, picked up Missoni Wave and Pour Homme after Xmas here in the UK, great price and quality. Both awesome and worthy addition to a collection in my opinion.
Interesting putting One Million Lucky in with the freshies, I usually wear this in autumn, but possibly in early spring when it's still cool I suppose.
I feel like your spring is a little hotter then hollands spring.. i'll be wearing Roberto cavalli Silver Essence, givenchy gentleman reserve prive and prada carbon
One million lucky, too dense imo to be a warm weather freshie, don't care too much for the scent either. Lhomme Rochas. Seems it might smell generic going by the notes, might have to sample this one. Hawas, is one of my most potent freshies along with versace man eau fraiche. Le Male eau fraice Superman Edition and Alexandria Fragrance's Formless (byredo Pulp clone)
Kept polo deep blue for about 3 weeks. Then I gave it away to my cousin. The lasting power is quite bad for me. 2-4 hours at Best 😢. Oh well, win some lose some
I own Chrome Extreme, Legend, and United. All 3 are above average performance and I love them. Legend has this very dry bitter orange, clean soap and black tea note that I love so much, and the other two are just clean citrus bangers
Hello, I'm looking for a really sporty fragnance that is fresh like a menthol chewing-gum and hasn't got really sweet notes only freshness. Could you please offer something like this?
I have 7 of the jpg le male fragrances and IN THE NAVY and ON BOARD are fantastic, certainly the best 2 of that line 😍 Mont blanc spirit, for some reason, my missus loves, 1 of her faves. Yet 1 of my cheapest 😡🤷♂️ 😂 As for deep blue, thats another i can vouch for 😁 don't really get the profondo similarities.
I'd like to add a fragrance to this. (Zara Seoul) smells clean and sweet, powdery. Lots of compliments and it sticks to the skin great. It lasts at least 12 hours+. Great for work or date.
Great timing .. I've got birthday money to spend and looking for great summer fragrances to take to Europe this summer ... prefer ones that last all day so I take fewer (space and weight in the luggage).
Dunhill icon and Rochas lhomme both have superb bottles. And I hate both their smells One is like painted door and the other one is way too sweet even though is still freshie. Both lasts long
Dunhill Icon, I hate it and I'm mad about it. Dunhill is one of my favorite houses. The first house that got me into Fragrances years ago, but Icon smells like band-aids. I really want to love it. Polo Blue Deep Blue is definitely is low-key banger and I love Legend Spirit way more than gym scent that some like to relegated it to.
@@abboed.4076 Naw bruh, you on point. People like to try and play Polo like they are past tense. In reality I feel this is the best BLUE FRESHIE in the game. It out performs all the designers that I have and you don't even need that many sprays. Polo Blue Parfume is highly underrated and once I get half way in the bottle I have now, I'm going to grab another.
YSL EDP is great but it’s now very popular aswell, Sage bomb with kinda candy smell. Amazing opening, but it’s dry-down is nothing special in my opinion, id still take Sauvage over it 😭
I was late to the party with 1 Million Lucky. I was a fan of 1 Million Prive (RIP), but Lucky is a great scent if you want to be noticed. Great Video 👍🏾
Couple of bangers here - Polo Deep Blue and Missoni Wave are two of my favourites for the warmer weather and both largely overlooked. Will need to try that Chrome Extreme at some point.
I was willing to try chrome Extreme since I already have the Aqua Version but I was told it would be a redundant buy since I already have Profondo which they both smell alike coming from Gent’s Scent’s
Chrome Extreme WAY better than Profondo. Profondo is expensive and doesn't justify its high price point in any way. I almost got Profondo till I discovered Chrome Extreme.
Profondo have better projection and better longevity. And more compliment getter. But for me personally, i prefer chrome extreme, makes me relax and feel confident
I have heard that one has okay staying power, I remember I sprayed it on and lasted me about maybe 5 hours or so before it became really really skin scent
Absolutely none of those are beast mode on my skin. Especially Polo deep blue that doesnt even last an hour. Dont have any Missoni so i cant speak 4 that 1. Lucky is the only 1 that last a cpl hrs but certainly NOT a beast mode. Im beginning 2 think my skin neutralizes most fragrances ?
My most powerful freshies
PDM Percival
Y EDP
Rasasi Hawas
Agree with Azzaro Chrome Extreme, Missoni Wave and Ralph Lauren Polo Deep Blue Parfum. Love all three of em!
I do have Azzaro Chrome Extreme and Le male on board and both are perfect for summer time! Great options! Hi from Mexico 🇲🇽!
Prueba el de Miyake carnal, está bien chido

1 milly lucky is my fav comforting scent. I spray it on my sheets. Lasts allllll day.
smells like caramel on skin...need hest to boil the chestnut out
So other people do spray their sheets, or room. 👍😉
Yes! I've had This is Love for Him for about 3 years now...amazing scent introduced me to Z&V and fell in love with the house ever since!
I recently picked up Missoni Wave as a blind buy and was amazed by how nice it is and how easy it is to wear it. Easy dumb grab when you don't know what you want to wear. Also a bargain.
Prada amber pour homme is great option, fresh clean and unusual and also hella strong
Wore missoni wave as its my signatur scent and its great👌👌👌
Rocking the Y edp for my beast mode freshie. I do want to pic up the deep blue parfum too, I think a tester of it is like $50 shipped
Bvlgari Aqva Marine is great as well!

Ash the way you hold some bottles like a split finger fastball makes me smile every time I notice it! Love the video, take care!
Dunhill Icon is my SOTD🔥 it’s already hitting above 80 down here in South Carolina 🌞
I want to buy it but I ear that it last just 4 to 5 hours? What longevity do you have with it please?
And here I am still using CK one! 🙂
Nothing wrong with CK One!
I have a 200ml vintage and
if truth be told it's better than
90% of today's designer releases
Great video Ash.
Rasasi -Hawas might be on that list too. Beast mode freshie 💪

Honey, cashmere, chestnut.. not sure if i can put this on a fresh fragrance category, but hey what do i know.🤷♂️
Did you even watch the video and listen to why he says so?
Kkkkkkkk that 1 million...dont know how he did that!!!
I hated the dry down on lucky after less than 5 min i became like a suntan oil smell on me tried it out at Macy's maybe it's just in my case ?
@@ozneonil7132 Yes, just like he said: maybe some people would not think of this as a fresh fragrance. 😀
Fussion d Issey Extreme is insane, love it.
Interesting putting One Million Lucky in with the freshies, I usually wear this in autumn, but possibly in early spring when it's still cool I suppose.
@@BourbonInhibitions let him wear what he wants dude don’t got to be so judgmental
1 million Lucky i can confirm it smells amazing but no where near beast mode. Im only getting 4-5 hours.
Can’t understand why Mont Blanc Legend Spirit is on this list! Bought a bottle 2 months back and the stuff hardly lasts about 6 hours.
That's why we need a Nautica Voyage Intense (or Extreme, or Parfum) 😐
Thank You 💯
Versace Pour Homme, yes, we really need an intense/extreme/EDP flanker. Nautica Voyage? Nah.
@@fragmericanidiot Versace Pour Homme has two flankers, Dylan Blue & Oud Noir, fyi. Do we need more? Nah 🤣
You think layering it with ambroxan or iso e super will help?

Lhomme Rochas. Seems it might smell generic going by the notes, might have to sample this one.

I got it a couple weeks ago and was really disappointed. It doesn’t last long on me and I don’t really like the smell either.
Same
@@sash0210 what does it smell like
@@pereiraplaza222It reminds me of JV Artisan Blu, which I also did’t like. They both smell very dated, like something an old man might wear.
Great video and list, Ash! I have a few of these and I would agree.
The original 212 MEN is a banger come this time around 💥
Love your style, Ash. I take notes so i have to slow the video & pause but your presentation is great and your humor is well needed 😆💕
Yea high is 80 degrees today here in Jackson Ms.
Armaf Sillage has eternal longevity, and for me anyhow, Acqua di Gio (the OG) as well.
Im buying chrome extreme as we speak, I’ve been hearing too many great things about it. 👍🏿
I own Chrome Extreme, Legend, and United. All 3 are above average performance and I love them. Legend has this very dry bitter orange, clean soap and black tea note that I love so much, and the other two are just clean citrus bangers

I have polo deep blue it is no beast mode at all really disappointed in performance
Kanon nordic elements air
Got at Marshall absolutely love it
Great list....cool to see some different fragrances
Man this is exactly what I wanted!!! It helps me so much
One little mentioned long lasting fresh scent is Boucheron Jaipur Limited Edition - if you can get hold of it 😉
I'd like to add a fragrance to this. (Zara Seoul) smells clean and sweet, powdery. Lots of compliments and it sticks to the skin great. It lasts at least 12 hours+. Great for work or date.
I have this. It's a copy of Paco Rabanne Invictus
Just got Missoni Wave last week, was having the same trip with the magnetic cap 😂😭
I got the Issey and Ilike it a lot. Summer banger.
You've peaked my interest in the Missoni. I haven't tried anything from that house.
Deep Blue is highly underrated. When it’s discontinued, it’ll definitely go up in price I think
I always have and still do have great luck with wearing classics. I’m taking your advice anyway. Change is never bad.
Is Zadig and Voltaire “This is Love” a Female perfume or male or unisex?
I absolutely love Legend Spirit!
Light blue,aqua Di gio,le male,Luna rossa,one million lucky,all great summer fragrances
Great timing .. I've got birthday money to spend and looking for great summer fragrances to take to Europe this summer ... prefer ones that last all day so I take fewer (space and weight in the luggage).
Buy a 15-30mil bottles of your choice
Check some of the airports “duty free” , I know in London’s Heathrow they have pretty code duty free 👍🏻
Dunhill icon and Rochas lhomme both have superb bottles. And I hate both their smells
One is like painted door and the other one is way too sweet even though is still freshie. Both lasts long

I thought it smelled weird at first, but it grew on me over time. The one that’s really bad is Dunhill Century.
Haha, that's weird. I loved it from second one. Will be forever in my personal top 10. :)
Legend spirit all day HAHAHA
Simple and plain. Never really thought about it but 1million lucky does last all day..easily 10-12 hours
Bravo Young gentleman from USA.
Greetings from Korea to you
- The best fresh fragrance?
- It's easy - Acqua Di Gio Profondo!

bro, its better than Y edp or Versace DB?
I love one million lucky! It’s one of my neutral weather favorites
This list isnt justice without YSL Y EDP. Monster compliment getter in spring/summer. Believe whatever u want guys
Never understand the Hype, i was so interested and run to the Store to try it. I found it incredible boring, like Versace Dylen Blue....
Don't rate. Generic, conventional synthetic mess that doesn't hang around long. Another Axe body spray type offering
Agree 💯 % , might be to much in high heat , bought the eau fraiche flanker , great line 👍🏻
YSL EDP is great but it’s now very popular aswell, Sage bomb with kinda candy smell. Amazing opening, but it’s dry-down is nothing special in my opinion, id still take Sauvage over it 😭

Does it last all day?

For me it last all day and the grapefruit scent is amazing. If you don't like grapefruit don't try it.
The insane grapefruit lasts for about 2.5 hours🙁 - the rest is ok.
Polo deep blue parfum 👌
Hey Ash, if you are to keep only one between azzaro chrome extreme and polo deep blue parfum, which one will you choose?
Or if you already own one them, would owning the other be redundant?

What’s the longevity of the chrome extreme one? Is it a noticeable scent?
Definite beast , long lasting and nice scent bubble 👍🏻
