    I don't know what other people are talking about, but, I put on Nautica Voyage yesterday before I left for work at 5:50pm. I could STILL smell it when i finished work at 7am. 5 sprays. Granted, not as potent as when it was first applied but the scent lingers and would woft towards me when I moved around. It's a great fragrance. Great purchase and value.

    In my opinion Ash (Gents Scents) is hands down the best fragrance reviewer on TH-cam. He always cuts to the chase! Always an honest, straight forward review! Pretty sure he uploads videos almost daily. He explains everything for us whom are curious. Tells us the notes and longevity. Cheaper alternatives and always mentions reliable discounters if people want to save a bit of money! He also has a video speaking on the subject of addictions to buying fragrances. Thanks for all the great reviews Ash and for being down to earth! I look forward to your videos daily!

    I'm late to the fragrance game, so I missed all of the hate that people gave to Versace Eros Flame. It's my signature and I love it. I wear it more than any other fragrance in my collection. I'm actually wearing it right now. Haha! I'm just glad that people are giving it the love now that it has always deserved.

      Agreed on the Wood one. Lasts forever and definitely gets me compliments. Also don't really get his comment "it's not actually all that woody...". To me it definitely is though. But that's just how our senses work i guess.

    I liked the SpiceBomb night vision initially when it came out but found myself not wearing it as often as I thought I would. I lean more towards La'nuit D'lhomme and Thierry Muggler Pure Malt. While these are no where near the same type of fragrance, it is the direction I tend to go for.

    Night vision EDT was the first ever bottle I’ve ever bought when I started my little selection of scents few years ago. I thought it was really great then, even got some compliments on it. 3 years later still have 80% of the bottle at least left 🤷🏻‍♂️ The half and half between fresher aromatic and cut back on spice just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me now.

      @@Q_N- it's gonna be a huge compliment getter and the majority of people are gonna love YSL Y EDP...but it doesn't change the fact of what I said. It still smells like toilet spray and it's expensive therefor it's an expensive toilet spray. And this is just facts, because that's what it actually smells like it has that synthetic, sharp, cheap, toilet spray/poisonous/bug spray smell that will always be there and it's present in the majority of YSL fragrances like L'homme, Y EDT, Y Eau Fraiche and others too. That's just a problem YSL has with their fragrances. It's not just YSL that has the issue, it's just due to bad perfumery and the perfumers option for lower quality ingredients and generally where niche fragrances have the edge over designed when it comes to quality.

      Ultra blue is just too boring and it does technically smell like a clone of nautica voyage, only 4x times the price with an even worse citrus than voyage uses. Voyage being more aquatic and ultra blue being more synthetic lemon. Both give off some toilet spray/bug spray vibes but ultra blue has it way worse where as voyage only slightly there. Although spray ultra blue and voyage side by side, they actually do smell very similar
