I don't consider any of my purchases "blind buys" because I have your guidance, Fragcom G.O.A.T! That said, with your suggestion, I was most impressed by Ferraris Essence line!
I've only been at this fir just under a year now. Vintage was part of my first purchase (one of those 4 bottle travel size of Varvatos because I also wanted to check out Artisan Pure) and in my 37 bottle collection, Vintage still sits on my Top 5 favourites & likely will for a long time. Then again, I am old(er)ish & love gentlemanly scents & to me, that's precisely what Vintage is.
Great Video Ash. I bought America and Rochas L'Homme based on previous videos of yours and really like both. I had Varvatos Vintage a couple of years ago and went through a whole bottle. Time to pick another one.
Adidas Moves Jovan Ginseng NRG Lamborghini Invincibile Afnan 9PM Afnan VI Highness Blue Ralph Lauren Polo Sport Missoni Wave.......all great cheapies I've added to the collection.
Ash, don't know if you ever got your hands on Cadillac Coupe, but it's that rare combo of "never in stock" but still very cheap when you find a bottle. It's actually my favorite semi-sweet floral musk now, supplanting Moschino Uomo? and YSL Homme. Pretty sure it's been discontinued, and it took me five years of stalking discounters, but I finally snagged a tester and am so glad I did.
Great vid, Ash! Two biggest blind buy wins for me have been Spicebomb Fresh a few years back at a Nordstrom Rack, and L'homme Ideal Cologne at a Marshalls, also a few years back. The original Quorum is great too, will have to try the Silver.
Always found Lattafa to be great cheapie blind buy option esp. Raghba Wood Intense and Qaa'ed. Also pretty much the whole Lalique line from discounters
I agree on Quorum Silver.. awesome fragrance for the price. One that I've never seen mentioned is Mustang Performance, a pretty decent clone of the original Le Male. I've gotten some compliments from this one. Sung Homme was a cheap blind buy or me, and I really ended up enjoying it, but you really need to like soapy 80's fragrances.
I’ve been buying fragrances for over 30yrs. and have a couple hundred by now, but I have 2 ultra cheap blind buys that I had to get backups because I ran through them and love them. Sean John 3am 100ml $17 at TJ Maxx Kenneth Cole Black Bold like 100ml $18 at fragrancenet Both are excellent for the price(I’d pay double)
I bought Dior Fahrenheit EDT this morning at CVS on clearance for $17 after tax. Couldn't figure out what it smelled like. I get home, put in this video, and then realize it smells like the bottle of Ferrari Uomo I used to have and gave away.
Great video Ash! Some of my fave cheapie blind buys include Starwalker (like you), Ferrari Bright Neroli, pretty much any fragrance by Cremo, BR Linen Vetiver, and English Laundry Riviera. 🤘
I blind buy all my fragrances online. Picked up one from TJ Maxx called "Unbeatable." Smells like an Aventus clone but way better. It's better than Explorer and Select. It's hard to find a proper note break down. Some other blind buys are Johan B Rich, Rochas L'homme, Blue Touch by Franck Olivier. Blind buy based on videos and high ratings
Picked up Asad a couple of weeks ago and honestly wasn't a fan the first time I sprayed it on. But been going back to it every day or so since I got it and I like it more and more each time. Now I can't wait for the weather to cool down enough to give it a proper wear.
Cheap blind buy wins: Michael Jordan Legend Montblanc Starwalker Dunhill Century Boucheron Jaipur Homme EDP Ard Al Zaafaran Midnight Oud Bentley for Men Intense Bentley for Men Absolute Zara Warm Black PS. And thanks to the other video in Extra Gents Scents reminded me of another cheap blind buy win: Proraso Wood & Spice Cologne (similar to Black Afgano and Gucci Intense Oud)
Eleven for the price of ten! Great value! Great video too. I'll check them out. You mentioned Gucci Pour Homme. PHi or PHii? Fortunate enough to be given a bottle of PHi many years ago. At that time it was so totally different to anything else. Still one of my favourites. Been looking around ever since to find an equivalent. Any clues?
Could you do an expensive blind buy that you don’t regret? I blind bought Layton, Angel Shares, and Aventus Creed. Fortunately I didn’t regret either of those purchases. Oddly enough, I bought Bentley Intense and I hate it!
I decided to try a small sample of Bentley Intense based on all the hype. Glad I only tried a sample. While I think it to be of a certain quality, it's definitely not for me!
Which fragrance is which in the description???? I don’t understand why not mentioning them there. Now I have to click on all links to find the one you were talking in the video 😩
Since the house of Rochas is french, the CH could be "sh", "k", or "tch." Waiting on Ferrari Bright Neroli and Rochas Aromatic Touch. Both will be blind buys but at least I will be finished with Ferrari.
Ben Sherman Icon and Ben Sherman Signature, Armaf The Warrior, and Cool Water Grapefruit and Sage were all cheap blind buys that I ended up loving. All under $25. And I haven't seen anyone review or talk about them, which is wild.
@@dk302948 not a sweet grapefruit, it's more of a Mediterranean, smell of grapefruit growing off a tree from downwind. It's honestly way better than I thought it would be.
What constitutes a blind buy....if I smelled it at the counter and bought immediately..is that a blind buy? In that case it would be Elysees Wood and Jimmy Choo Man Blue. If not... banana Republic black walnut the sweet woody one...not the aventus clone....and Mercedes Benz man private
I’ve been watching This channel for a year now. How come you never review anything from Louis Vuitton? As a matter of fact.. no one does!! Big Beard B, Bowtie, Antonio, Jeremy, Joel, not even Chris. The only guy who mentions Louis Vuitton isn’t a fragrance guy (The Style OG)
I know you pay for what you get Kenny but I guess you know the prices of Louis Vuitton. They can make even Creed look cheap. Check out 'The Perfume Guy'. He's covered the collection.
One day there'll be a wave of Ferraris that suddenly hit the discount market and then evaporate into oblivion. The last of the world's stock. Stay on the lookout.
Cheapies are golden in this hobby🤣 Nothing better than being a fraghead and finding cheap gems to add to the bottom tier of the collection💪🏻
I love it when I can help someone who is shopping for cheapies at rack store with some helpful fragrances and suggestions.
@@karlsenula9495 likewise!
@@karlsenula9495 i would appreciate the help!!

Good choice!
Also, wearing Starwalker today, love that Starwalker love!
I'm Luke Starwalker, I'm here to rescue you.
Burlington seems to have the best selection around me lately in the rack store cheapie hunt.
Gonna check them out
11:10 rocking it for my sotd today! so classy and smoove
Burlington is where you’ll find Starwalker. Occasionally at Ross too
Everyone loves a solid cheapie! Great video.
My best cheap blind buy was John Varvatos Dark Rebel! I can't get enough of it!!!!!!
Rochas Lhomme is such a high quality scent.
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
English Laundry London, Perry Ellis 360 Red and Banana Republic Black Walnut Legend. All 3 are pretty amazing.
London is a great cheap Aventus clone.
Rochas L'Homme is very nice. Thank you for your advice.

Starwalker and Missoni Wave at Ross
Rasasi shuhrah and daarej were great blind buys for me
Great Video Ash. I bought America and Rochas L'Homme based on previous videos of yours and really like both. I had Varvatos Vintage a couple of years ago and went through a whole bottle. Time to pick another one.
How it's performed? The both, off course. And longevity? The buddy in this video never talk about its. Thx.
Versace dreamer for me
All my buys are based on your reviews, I can't get out enough due to work to smell these. Thank you again.
That Perry Ellis America is the real deal, I got the gift set for less than $40.00, a quality scent for the money
I'm personally a big fan of Pepe jeans. Love almost all their fragrances
In Europe try Jeanne Arthes and Jeanne En Provence fragrances.
Adidas Moves
Jovan Ginseng NRG

There's a bazillion starwalker in the TJ maxxes around me. Regular and Extreme.
Favorite cheapie frags are Ted Lapidus Black Soul Imperial, Zara RichWarmAddictive, and Armaf Odyssey Black.

Sean John 3am 100ml $17 at TJ Maxx
Kenneth Cole Black Bold like 100ml $18 at fragrancenet
Both are excellent for the price(I’d pay double)
I blind bought Bentley for men intense (because of your video), and loved it right away. Smells way more expensive than 25 euros that I paid.
I bought Dior Fahrenheit EDT this morning at CVS on clearance for $17 after tax. Couldn't figure out what it smelled like. I get home, put in this video, and then realize it smells like the bottle of Ferrari Uomo I used to have and gave away.
Hey ash nice review!! Try ajmal evoke gold edition it is a great masculine, powdery alternative to prada lhome!! Great fragrance!
Hi Ash I got Guess 1981 Los Angeles from TK Maxx in England for £12.99 amazing scent fella
Great video Ash! Some of my fave cheapie blind buys include Starwalker (like you), Ferrari Bright Neroli, pretty much any fragrance by Cremo, BR Linen Vetiver, and English Laundry Riviera. 🤘
Cremo Spice and Black vanilla and the Bourbon Oak... I have these two and think they're great. Especially for the price.
Chrome pure is my SOTD
I like the idea of 'blind buys gone horrifically wrong' video 😁
Frfr
I would be the star of that video.

You need to mention blue touch from frank olivier. That stuff is aqua di gio for the super cheap. Like 20 bucks for a 3.4 oz bottle.
Picked up Asad a couple of weeks ago and honestly wasn't a fan the first time I sprayed it on. But been going back to it every day or so since I got it and I like it more and more each time. Now I can't wait for the weather to cool down enough to give it a proper wear.
aaaaaaaaaand price goes up after this video!!
BR's Tobacco & Tonka Bean for $22 at Burlington.
That coconut note is 🤌
Just picked that one up a few weeks ago at Burlington and I find myself just sniffing the atomizer multiple times a day. Love that stuff!
I grabbed it the other day. Not a fan. Hyped let down for me. Lol
I really wish the Burlingtons around me still sold fragrances like they used too.
@@ericwarnock704 I often hear frag folks say it's too sweet. What don't you like about it?
So which is better Pepe Jeans London Calling or Celebrate?
Did you color your hair?
Have you been to or are there fragrance outlet stores in williamsburg. If so are they worth the tripto check out

LoL I thought I was the only one who wears Starwalker to bed xD it is soooo relaxing.
Hey does Chrome Aqua remind you of Polo Cologne Intense at all? The recent green bottle with the gunmetal cap?
Speaking of fragrance to wear to bed…when you want to relax…YSL La Nuit De LHomme perfect, just perfect PEACE
Afnan 9PM. Best cheap blind buy. Depending on what we are considering cheap…Wanted by Night
There is a blue one called succeed by lonkoom...that is a monster
Do you have a Scent Split code that works?

You took your gold plastic decoration off your lattafa Asad too 🤭
Drakkar Intense! Only $25. 👍
Can you do a review on Nasomatto Pardon?
Missoni Wave 🌊 the hype is justified lol 🤷🏽♂️
Mine cheap successful blind buy was Lacoste "Live!" 🐊
Some successful blindbuy cheapies: Banana Republic 78 Vintage Green; Missoni Wave; Lattafa Qaa'ed
Hey Ash if you like Aventus inspired fragrances Check put London by English Laundry
recently blind-bought online CDNIM... hope it works outtt
Question for anyone…
is it cheaper to by from discounters of duty free at the airport?
Thanks
Always discounters online. Duty free is very rarely cheaper maybe
Discounters
Thanks guys
Duty free is rarely cheaper (even tho it should be).
Indigo Row by Tijon
What is the best clone for one million pacco rabbon???
Surprisingly, Dollar Tree has a solid 1 Million clone that goes by the name Prime Gold. It's not as strong, but...a $1.25...so spray away
Also, give Halloween Man a try. It's very well done.
Any websites for middle east?
Dunhill Edition for the inexpensive blind buy win.
Issey miyake intense was a grandslam for me...Ferrari need to focus on their f1 strategy.
If... You Like Vintage Kouros... Try The Man Silver! 50ml 5€
A must have!
Also YSL La Nuit de L'Homme - Jacques Bogart Santana Bay! 👊
@GentsScents ?
Which fragrance is which in the description???? I don’t understand why not mentioning them there. Now I have to click on all links to find the one you were talking in the video 😩
8:13
**Escentric Molecules has entered the chat**
Banana Republic - Black Walnut Legend for $20 at Marshall’s. Decent quality, easy-to-wear dumb reach Aventus clone. Works well as a gym scent for me.
No one talks about Adolfo Dominquez fresh water Vetiver at all and I find it strange.
Since the house of Rochas is french, the CH could be "sh", "k", or "tch." Waiting on Ferrari Bright Neroli and Rochas Aromatic Touch. Both will be blind buys but at least I will be finished with Ferrari.
Asad bottle doesn't look at that bad. It reminds me of bvlgari tygar bottle. For the price, you could do much worse like Jeremy fragrance bottles
Ben Sherman Icon and Ben Sherman Signature, Armaf The Warrior, and Cool Water Grapefruit and Sage were all cheap blind buys that I ended up loving. All under $25. And I haven't seen anyone review or talk about them, which is wild.
how long does that Grapefruit & Sage last? Is it sweet?
@@dk302948 not a sweet grapefruit, it's more of a Mediterranean, smell of grapefruit growing off a tree from downwind. It's honestly way better than I thought it would be.
dudd the official color off Ferrari is not Red its Yelov!
Logo off Ferrari is in Yelov color!
Video idea: fragrances that’ll expire before you finish them(least faves)
What constitutes a blind buy....if I smelled it at the counter and bought immediately..is that a blind buy? In that case it would be Elysees Wood and Jimmy Choo Man Blue.
If not... banana Republic black walnut the sweet woody one...not the aventus clone....and Mercedes Benz man private
Like when you buy a fragrance online without ever smelling it
@@ThiefBTW the last two I mentioned then
I bought asad 10$
10 ripoff review would be nice., And very easy to do.
Or you get a “special package”
Wish you could find Lattafa Asad... couple fragrance reviews and it goes right out of stock 🙄
Rochas l’homme doesn’t smell anything like k it’s smells like a coffee scent tbh
👍👍👍👍👍
🐝
Going to keep dropping this in fragcom comments until somebody reviews it (please)...
Romamor Uomo Laura Biagiotti
Day 3 of asking Ash to review Milton Lloyd fragrances
Jomashop's numbers are pretty awkward. $110 and $8? Why?
Any fragrance with vintage in the name just makes me think it's an old man scent, lol
A cheap blind buy was Authenticity Parfum
Barbershop and authenticity
When is the Next roast session????
Today will be my last show I watch, I started watching you a month ago and now I'm broke with all these bottles of cologne that I'll never use.
😂
Someone send me a message saying I’ve won something and had your logo on telegram and TH-cam is that legit and is that you ?
No. It’s a scam.

“Asad” is “Lion” in Arabic Language
Good to know thanks!
One day there'll be a wave of Ferraris that suddenly hit the discount market and then evaporate into oblivion. The last of the world's stock. Stay on the lookout.
My cheap fragrance that I can spray 20 times without having to worry waste money is Geparlys Yes I am the King 😆🤭
Geparlys, Lomani and Karen Low was my treasure trove for a few years. 😅 Yes I am That Cheap.
Why don’t you talk about performance?? Its one of the most important things to consider about fragrances regardless of price.
