Hey ash, do you think we could see two possible video requests ? 1. Recommended fragrances for each genre for a starter (blue, tobacco, niche, fresh etc) one cheapie and one that you would recommend regardless of price 2. 10 fragrances you should avoid purchasing (overpriced, to common, overhyped) Cheers
I love what you do Ashton. I am french and i enjoy hearing french fragrance names pronounced in english. It gives them a Real classy "cachet". You don't have to apologise. And in this particular domaine they are legion 😅
@@daviddd7810 I understand and respect your opinion. But I think you should give more wears for Bentley. In cooler weather. I think it's that kind of scent that can grow on you after a few times.
I finally got the Bentley Absolute and I honestly don't know what to make of it yet. I sprayed a little and didn't know what to think. It's not like anything else I have. I have to wear it though to really see what I think.
Great video and I enjoyed it and i like mugler pure havanne and I give it a nine out of ten and im going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day
I purchased both the gold and white Swiss Arabian scents and they are powerhouses. I also have decants of the Amouage and Lancome and yes, they are close. An advantage the SA versions have for beginners is that it gives us an inexpensive way to test run bolder fragrances before spending for full bottles of the pricier counterparts.
Buy the cold weather fragrance; now spray half as much. Or just any "blue" or "fraiche" branded fragrance is likely to be a little bit nicer for warm weather.
Bentley for Men Azure is a great cheapie for summer by Bentley also. Has a few of the notes from CREED AVENTUS, but with a aquatic note. I get a lot compliments when I wear it.😊
I went to Bond No.9 boutique in NYC last week and asked about New Haarlem. The sales associate said they couldn’t “source” the ingredients to continue production. Funny since all their scents are mad synthetic.
I believe you bro..I blind-bought (if thats a phrase) layton, dylan blue and dior homme intense and I got compliments from all 3 of them. And I’m waiting on Bentley and azzaro wanted night?! Coz of you. Thank you for your vids keep it coming
bentley absolute , do u think full BT worthy , how much percent different than Gucci pour homme l, what the differ part ? more daring , compliment rate 1-5 ? Gucci envy and lancome hypnose , how was it ? suggest any very similar frag still on the market ? Layton and Layton exclusif , redundant for average joe ( Im not Big collector like U ) Love ur taste and channel as usual , Tks Ashton
New to the channel and new into fragrances but i love your channel and now that i am starting my colleccion follow your advice alot. Can you do a top ten for teenagers . I have a son and looking what to buy him. Thank you
Love these videos Ash! People can definitely smell awesome on a budget. I actually love Rochas Man. Great fragrance, just wish it lasted longer. Cheapies are the way to go! Thanks Ash. 👊👍
Next up check out Abercrombie fierce reserve bruh and just dropped two weeks ago whiskey barrel and aged leather with amber notes where’s my leather jacket and vintage motorcycle manly af +gent scents
I have Shagaf Oud abiad and Bentley they are my favorite all year around i don't care if it's hot or cold. I just make sure not to over spray when it's hot. But I honestly don't understand the point of light projection and weak performance Fragrance why would I buy something doesn't say I'm here!! Long lasting performance is a must as well.. Some people will review that as winter while their winter actually is my summer season 😂
Alternative pairing. I like that turn of phrase. The Bentley Intense is definitely a not for beginners fragrance. It is really great. Thanks for the video, sir.
Its a very bold, confident fragrance. I've heard a reviewer or two say that this is what James Bond would wear. If you are looking to stand out and smell very manly, you've got the right stuff.
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Chanel Allure Home Sport Extreme Chanel Bleu de Chanel YSL l'Homme Spice Bomb Extreme John Varvatos Artisan Pure Dolce & Gabbana The one
Most of those, that I'm familiar with, have a similarity but they go off in different directions that can make wearing experience very different. It's like Mont Blanc Explorer having a similar scent profile to Aventus but, to my nose, being a much different experience and juice. Just saying. Of course it's much cheaper and not idiotic to blind buy a cheapie as it is niche. Michael Jordan Legend the best super cheapie I have.
It's always helpful to have lesser expensive alternatives out there ,even if you own the original it can be great to not have to rebuy it and use the cheaper option more freely and keep the expensive one for more special occasions 👌
About Lalique ownership no idea, but Fragrantica lists the perfumer for Bentley Intense as the same for all Encre Noires, as well as (in collabs) for Givenchy Gentleman EDP and Spice Bomb Night Vision: Nathalie Lorson
The Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Abyad is really close to Interlude Man for sure. The longevity is not close but the scent is awesome. I will have to check out this Bentley Intense. I keep hearing great things about it. Rochas Man is LEGIT Bro lol.
Shaghaf Oud Abyad is NOT what it used to be. My husband had a 2016 bottle and i liked a lot. He now bought another bottle this year (2020) on the official SA site and is 50% weaker than the first- Weak projection, 1h sillage. 🤨 This fragrance power has now gone.
You need to try LPDO - italian clone house. Vanille Persuasive by LPDO smells like Tobacco Vanille - like 95% similar and great performance too! They have a Montale intense cafe and so many other niche clones but done well
I don't get the hype for Bentley FMI at all. I love the scent of the Insurrection, but it has the worst performance eva lol. Can't complain for $19 though. It is what it is.
I liked to be entered in the contest. Sounds like Bentley is stepping up their Frag game 4 sure. I’m interested in Wild Vetiver since I spend a ton of time in an office setting. Plus living in Florida it’s harder to pull off a lot of the heavier spicy scents.
You realize that Bentley have series of perfumes "Bayond collection" and are really pricey. Majestic Cashmere is €200 for 100 ml. Their presentation thou is one of the best one I have seen. I think these are crystal bottles which resble the glasses which are coming with a car when you buy it.
I wish there was more content like this. This type of content is what got me into collecting fragrances. Thanks for the info Ashton.
Gosh, this guy is such a nice change from Jeremy
definitely. ash seems like a chill dude that'd be cool to hang out with. conversely, i'd want to punch jeremy in the face if he was in my vicinity.
@@haydenstrait9438 hahaha I'm glad someone said it
Jeremy is just a snob
Jeremy went mad lately 😂
@@haydenstrait9438 straight up dude, Jeremy looks like obnoxious rich dude you see in movies
Next up, expensive fragrances that smell cheap?
Lol date for men
Office for Men
Creed Aventus. Smells like Club De Nuit Intense Man lol
@Bill Corben office for men doesn't smell cheap. It's simply overpriced. It smells like 70-80$ fragnance.
Lol. Thats funny. But you're onto it.
Hey ash, do you think we could see two possible video requests ?

Clayton Pederson - yeah Ash, what Clayton said, I’d like to see a video with a starter fragrance from the different categories
An inexpensive fragrance that I love to wear is Paco Rabonne Ultraviolet. Woody and kind of citrusy with a nice dry down. About 30-40 bucks.
Shaghaf means "passion" in Arabic and abayad means "white" which is why the bottle is white. It translates to "White Oud Passion"
Love that you left that blooper in the video. Wish you did cheapie videos a bit more often because your opinion is very highly respected
I love what you do Ashton. I am french and i enjoy hearing french fragrance names pronounced in english. It gives them a Real classy "cachet". You don't have to apologise. And in this particular domaine they are legion 😅
Oui c’est marrant cette prononciation des marques françaises 🇫🇷😂
Bentley intense is one of the best value for money out there. Rasasi Daarej, and Declaration D'un Soir also smell expensive
Bentley is the best. It s very unique, and make you feel unique as well when you wear that.
I have had so many cheap fragrances and Bentley is srsly Just perfect
If you want unique get the swiss arabian lol
In my opinion Bentley smells is terrible! I still have mine but I'm not using it.
@@daviddd7810 I understand and respect your opinion. But I think you should give more wears for Bentley. In cooler weather. I think it's that kind of scent that can grow on you after a few times.
The Swiss Arabian is better I got them both, it got a better projection, longevity and sillage
Great video, Ash! My cheap frag that smells expensive would be Rasasi Daarej. Without a doubt. Cheers!
My fav kind of vid. Both Bentley fragrances were the best $30 I spent, followed by Uomo Signature
Is it only me or does anyone else gets headaches after wearing Bentley intense
@@demetripereira9461 so put less on
@@demetripereira9461 Get Bentley for MEN. Not intense. Also really nice.
I can vouch for Insurrection Wild II. I own a bottle and, my goodness, it is intoxicating. Best $20 you can spend on a tobacco fragrance.
Shaghaf oud and abyad are my jam. That stuff is freaking great
Really like these cheap but expensive smelling videos. Cheers Ash
I agree!
Me too 😁
same here 😅
Check out best brands perfume. That's almost all he does

I live in FL and some of the best fragrances are for cold weather. Can we include more hot weather fragrances.
Buy the cold weather fragrance; now spray half as much. Or just any "blue" or "fraiche" branded fragrance is likely to be a little bit nicer for warm weather.
Personally, i like to use Bentley intense with absolute together. Really makes for a more complex smell I.M.O. that just screams upper class bad boy.
Insurrection II Wild, what a deal and such a masculine fragrance. It’s Havane on a budget.
Yea performance is awesome.better than the current formulation of havane
marxman 300 totally

9 digit batch code for bentley intense is way more better performer. under lalique is just ayt.

+1 for Oud Abyad. Can order on Amazon for cheap and have it in a couple days and the performance is fantastic for the price.
Art & Fragrance has been renamed to Lalique Group in 2016.
bentley absolute , do u think full BT worthy , how much percent different than Gucci pour homme l, what the differ part ? more daring , compliment rate 1-5 ?
Gucci envy and lancome hypnose , how was it ?
suggest any very similar frag still on the market ?
Layton and Layton exclusif , redundant for average joe ( Im not Big collector like U )
Love ur taste and channel as usual , Tks Ashton
Ash what do you think about Rochas men Moustache? Thanks a lot! 😁
New to the channel and new into fragrances but i love your channel and now that i am starting my colleccion follow your advice alot. Can you do a top ten for teenagers . I have a son and looking what to buy him. Thank you
Cheap but smells like an expensive one, Clean Reserve acqua neroli (better than Tom Ford neroli portifino)
Another great cheap option instead of Tobacco Vanille is Al-Haramain - Amber Oud Tobacco Edition.
I'm always interested in cheapies that smell of "quality", not necessarily like a specific niche fragrance. Clones get boring, but quality never does.
Any recommendations?
You pronounced Shaghaf oud abyad perfectly btw. Great Video as always
He didn't 😂 But for someone who doesn't speak Arabic, it's fine.
H A For someone who doesn’t speak arabic it’s perfect. I appreciate his effort. And yes i do speak Arabic
Got Pure Havana decant but doesn't last long on my skin..it gets very close to the skin in2-3 hrs.. Cheers
Because it's the current formulation of mugler.thierry mugler limited edition is a lot better
thank u very much .I've been waiting for this ...
I have Idea do video
nishe version of popular designer
Love these videos Ash! People can definitely smell awesome on a budget. I actually love Rochas Man. Great fragrance, just wish it lasted longer. Cheapies are the way to go! Thanks Ash. 👊👍

Can we get spring and summer lists.you always have great list.thanks for your help.
Sounds like Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Abyad smells similar to an even cheaper alternative, Ard Al Zaafaran Midnight Oud.
Midnight oud is a litlle bit switter
Thank you, what is best alternative to Tom ford FU faboulous.
You didn’t ramble Ash, you were very informative! I like these kind of videos! Keep it up
I purchased Bentley Man Intense in December 2019, and I have to agree that this juice smells expensive.
Mugler is alot cheaper in Europe, in the UK you can regularly find pure havane on sale for £38 which is around $50.
I have Shagaf Oud abiad and Bentley they are my favorite all year around i don't care if it's hot or cold. I just make sure not to over spray when it's hot. But I honestly don't understand the point of light projection and weak performance Fragrance why would I buy something doesn't say I'm here!! Long lasting performance is a must as well..

You should put the names of all the perfumes you mention in the description in the same order.
Got velvet teddy. Goes right to the goods. I thought it was discontinued? Guess not which is great
Pure Havan awesome, just picked up bottle of Naxos freaking love it. Have both for reasons u stated lol
Alternative pairing. I like that turn of phrase. The Bentley Intense is definitely a not for beginners fragrance. It is really great. Thanks for the video, sir.
The only compliment I've ever gotten, while wearing any of my 40+ fragrances, was for Bentley Intense. Not for the faint of heart tho.
What do you mean not for the faint of heart? I bought Bentley intense and have not tested it yet
Its a very bold, confident fragrance. I've heard a reviewer or two say that this is what James Bond would wear. If you are looking to stand out and smell very manly, you've got the right stuff.
Roger F nice! thanks for explaining I’m excited to start using it
Ash do a video on the first 10 fragrances you’d buy as someone just starting a collection
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male
Chanel Allure Home Sport Extreme
Chanel Bleu de Chanel

The Swiss Arabian is the best of them all its got a beast projection and it smells fantastic
Scent of Bently intens is really fantastic! very niche quality.
I bought Bentley intense I pray into the air I I hated the smell but then I put it on n I started to like it
Ashton anyone mentioned you look like Elliot from Will&Grace Michael Angarano?
I blacked out towards the end, I live in Texas so is their gonna be warm weather recommendations
Hey,
can you do a comparison between some federico mahora perfumes and their real counterparts ?
You can find a 50mL bottle of TV for around $125 in the Facebook groups. The 30mL can be found for $80.
Review Rasasi Al Wisam Day it’s supposed to be a SMW clone
Hi, what is similar to Dior Sauvage? Thx
Versace dylan blue
Hi Ash. I follow you from México and I really want to thank you for being the most honest reviewer I have seen in this fragrance world.
I loved your unhyped fragrance list the other day. But these are great too
Pure Havane no longer available as far as I can see here in the UK.
Thanks I'm probly getting mugler
Plz do review of slavatore fergamo blue esstanils
I don't get the hype for Bentley FMI at all. I love the scent of the Insurrection, but it has the worst performance eva lol. Can't complain for $19 though. It is what it is.
Hye Ash Bentley Intense and Rochas Man are amazing fragrances!👍👏👏👏👏🙏
Bentley pour Homme Intense is ❤️. Great video as always! 😊👍
Ash I haven’t seen any of the new Mancera Frags get any reviews. Do you think it’s a price or an availability thing?
How do you compare Bentley man intense to rasasi la yuqawam pour homme??? How similar are they???
11:02 unique 🤨
Just keep on rambling! Always great content to hang out with
I luv Bentley man intense
I paid for 50ml 23€
Greetings from Germany 😘
Oil Perfumery has their impressions of Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille. 10 ml vial for less than $15. Even with shipping and handling, it's less than$20
Is Amouag an Arabian house ? Amouag meaning waves ... I think I should just look it up
The best kind of videos !
Hey, Mr. Ashton!!! I would love for u to review Tabac Rouge and Geir by Geir Ness.
If really like smoky fragrances .. how about Rasasi Shuhrah ?
I like how chill you are
More fragrances to add to my wish list!
Bently... smells just like DDT. Awesome.
Loved the video. Great scents.
Best fragrance channel, can't beat it.

Anyone else know or heard of reformulation for Bentley For Men Intense by any chance?
There is no reform
Shaghaf Our Abyad is translated to Oud Passion White 😄 I assume there's a Black version to this ,, intense maybe idk
