Just ordered White a few days ago and now I'm going to try Hommage as I'm an older gent and like a lot of the fragrances from all of these three houses.
Ive only bought two so far(ezzential blu n f black) love them both so they're batting 2 for 2. So I'll keep buying when I find them cheap at rack stores.
@@mercedesbenzs600bash It's pretty unusual, and strong for sure! Very woody-cinnamony, dry and dense, with a strong ambery sweet (not overly) drydown. I like it, and a lot of 40+ people love it, but it's quite hard to wear around young people.
I was utterly stunned the first time I tried Bentley Intense (I ordered a little 15ml sample) and since I've used a full 100ml and am now on my second 100 ml. Absolutely niche quality in a designer package at dollar store prices. Bang for the buck this is one of the 5 best frags you can own. I also have Encre Noire Intense and Lalique Lion so I do like the house.
@@WireHedd I recently bought L'Insoumis, a quite interesting one: peppery modern, and VERY green aromatic. It's not light at all and it doesn't have much sweetness. How would you describe the Lion? Is it "hard" to wear around people under 30?
One of my favourite houses is the house of “ Jacques Bogart “. My two favourite fragrances in that house is “Silver Scent Midnight” and “Silver Scent Pure”.
Aside from the brands you’ve featured. I’d say Guerlain. Far too many great choices from the brand with high quality juice and blend with outstanding performances for its price!
Big fan of Lalique. Have Encre Noire A L'Extreme, Encre Noire Sport, and White. White is my favorite summer fragrance, A L'Extreme for night or cold weather, and Sport for all-around versatility. Plan on adding more.
Hi Ash, great picks, I am also big fan of Lalique, the only one that I would add to your list is Lalique Hommage a l'homme Voyageur, just love it, Greatings from Sunny Germany.
Just bought a set of the 3 Lalique Encre Noirs...I'm really excited. I finally took the plunge (blind buy) cause I've heard you talk about them several times now. Plus I got the 3 bottles for a great price off someone on Mercari!
@@Polyfusia I first thought that too. It was the darkest fragrance I ever smelled. However, after repeated wear in different seasons, I no longer smell it as “black” but more “dark green”. It smells like a dark forest to me. Don’t give up on it. Try it out in different situations to help unlock all its secrets.
Just picked up Legend by Mont Blanc and Man in Black from Bvlgari and I really enjoy Legend. It does remind me of Fierce, but I think it’s more smooth and refined than Fierce is.
I would of added Guerlain. So many great fragrances, quality and at a very low price. From their vetiver one, l’instant, habit rouge, homme and heritage, lots of great scents all in the $30 range.
lalique is simply...THE BEST imo, counting quality & price... my first blind buy was Lalique Encre noir ai extreme; begginer's luck, i guess; but it took me some time to start to apreciate it, but now it's one of my top 3 of all frags i know...and normaly: Nathalie Lorson, genius
Blind bought Encre Noir based on reviews -- first try: hated it. Left it alone for several weeks and tried it again -- like it a lot. Blind bought Hommage a L'Homme gift set (for the price) -- love the frag.
Agree totally. Lalique is an amazing house with great value Frags. Pour Homme smells great but just doesn't project or last on my skin which is a shame..Encre Noire range is just awesome. Great projection and longevity. Very niche smelling.
Great picks! Lalique is one of my favorite houses, but I like Versace and Mont Blanc quite a lot, as well. Another fantastic house you can pick up from discounters at a great price is Cartier.
Hey Ashton... Solid video I'm going to be on the hunt for those fragrances, most definitely! I just got to say, your hand gestures are killing me, LOL! Every time you put your hands up near your face or near your chest, I just pair it with a martial arts sound. It's like a whole fight sequence going on in my head! 😂😂
Nice jumper Ash!!... Oops, (I'm Brittish) you guys say sweater, I think 🤔 😄... Anyways.. Great video and btw.. My take is the Bentley line, fantastic fragrances and you get a lot of bang for your buck!! 👍
For me the best “cheap” house would be Azzaro , great warm weather line with chrome and it’s flankers , and for the cooler weather you have the wanted line and all the azzaro-azzaro line 👍🏻
I got it mistakenly because i thought i ordered montblanc Explorer and got encre noire instead. I love that nice dark somber cypress mountain in a dark fall evening vibe i get from it.
What about Rasasi? Just got Hawas and now I am interested in the house. Besides them I am already a fan of Salvatore Ferragamo and Mont Blanc. Haven't gotten anything from Azarro but thinking about getting one soon.
Which should I purchase for a versatile great performance fragrance? Rasasi Hawas/ ADG Absolu / Profondo / Mont Blanc Explorer ? Thankyou 🙏 so much❤️❤️❤️
Hey Ash, Great list. Quick question is the Lalique Hommage A L'Homme still the same Bottle?! Looking it up online the bottle is different then shown here. Thanks Ash!
The latest version of Versace pour homme is shocking it only lasts for two hours, I don't even detect any of the basenotes in it. Versace oud might be worth a shot.
Lalique is apparently and unfortunately very expensive where I live. Same prices as Creed fragrances😦. Encre Noir is dirt cheap, but aside from that you can’t get anything under 200 dollars🙁
Encre Noire A L'extreme is so spectacular that it only takes one whiff of it to make you buy that bottle. Extremely gorgeous notes. It has a quality similar to D&G The One. You spray it and for a while even you yourself will be bewitched under it's spell. Probably one the quickest decisions I made deciding to buy any fragrance. This and CK One Shock. For the price and quality of the juice, it's nothing I have come across so far.
I just blind bought Hommage recently, on paper it becomes a nice soapy-violet flower scent which is pretty cool, but on my skin its a different story? Also I checked its batch code and the bottle is from 2012.... I hope it didn't go bad :[
Best cheapie fragrance house? Nautica. I'm only half kidding. I do love Nautica fragrances. But really it's the only house that I have multiple different fragrances from... for now. Just because they're so cheap and so easy to find.
What lalique fagrence do you recommend for a first time blind buy. 🤔 alot people recommend the lion or the horse or Homage? What will you recommend me.
I know this video is a year old now, but does anyone have any thoughts on Lalique's White In Black? I've read so many comments on Fragrantica that it's about 90% or more similar to PDM's Layton. Thoughts from anyone who's picked it up?
Anyone have any recommendations on a low price very manly scent? I'm a fan of Aventus and green irish tweed. I know they are far from similar but something along the lines of one of the those. I do have a bottle of Club De Nuit Intense man already. Thanks fellas
Ash is the picture of dedication, rolling straight out of bed ready to make a video. Great vid.
Lol x
He was so sleepy that he put on his wife's sweater.
Fun fact: Ash took 2 hours for this look
All those fragrance houses are amazing! Lalique is one of my all time favorites. I love that they also make Bentley.
Just ordered White a few days ago and now I'm going to try Hommage as I'm an older gent and like a lot of the fragrances from all of these three houses.
I’d say Salvatore ferragamo house is one of the best when it comes to cheapies too.
Ive only bought two so far(ezzential blu n f black) love them both so they're batting 2 for 2. So I'll keep buying when I find them cheap at rack stores.
For sure. The uomo line and F line both awesome. As well essenziale line too
Most definitely the truth...
@@MrHahaveryhappy Ty
A really impressive house, also considering the Bentley lines they take care of!
Can't wait to try my BENTLEY INTENSE FOR MEN its sounds pretty controversial...
@@mercedesbenzs600bash It's pretty unusual, and strong for sure! Very woody-cinnamony, dry and dense, with a strong ambery sweet (not overly) drydown. I like it, and a lot of 40+ people love it, but it's quite hard to wear around young people.

Encre Noire could easily pass off for a niche fragrance. It's so well done.
I’ll throw Varvatos into this mix! Mostly great, unique scents, and incredibly affordable. Nice bottle presentations too 👍🏼
@craigfranchetti I agreed. I’ve picked up the Dark Rebel and Rider - smells like beautiful leather and cannibis.
Longevity is so garbage
@@petbull7038 sorry to hear, bro. JV work fine w my chemistry. Moisturizer does help. My skin is dry as sh$t.
Works on my skin as well. I feel most ppl just go with what they hear and what's trending. Longevity is descent on me with rider
I get moderate performance from jv frangrances and imo they're the more natural smelling house of cheapies.
I do like Salvatore Ferragamo, probably my no. 1, then Versace, and Montblanc.
One of my favourite houses is the house of “ Jacques Bogart “. My two favourite fragrances in that house is “Silver Scent Midnight” and “Silver Scent Pure”.
The House of Coty: "Preferred Stock" anyone? Great video.
When I was 13, Preferred Stock and Stetson were my jam! Those and British Sterling were my entry into fragrance.
@@Gregor9043 Yes.
My favorite cologne back in the early 90's...now I wanna buy a bottle for nostalgia reasons lol.
@@robh.5595 👍
Aside from the brands you’ve featured. I’d say Guerlain.
Far too many great choices from the brand with high quality juice and blend with outstanding performances for its price!
I am right there with you. I wear Lalique Homme Lion EDP almost every day... except for when I give it a break so that I don;t get tired of it.
Big fan of Lalique. Have Encre Noire A L'Extreme, Encre Noire Sport, and White. White is my favorite summer fragrance, A L'Extreme for night or cold weather, and Sport for all-around versatility. Plan on adding more.
Armaf & Salvatore Ferragamo are my go to houses. They rarely miss and perform well also
Sorry but Armaf has about two fragrances that don't smell like their price and project well. And we both know what those two fragrances are
Hi Ash, great picks, I am also big fan of Lalique, the only one that I would add to your list is Lalique Hommage a l'homme Voyageur, just love it, Greatings from Sunny Germany.
Encre noir is like sweet woods after a rainy day. Gets better with dry down and lasts like 8 hours on my skin.
Been hoping for a Lalique list, this is great, thank you Ash!
Mont Blanc Legend Night is my favorite from the Legend series 🤷♂️
Finally someone mentioned Lalique White.
Awesome viddy, Ash...and I’d agree with you 100% regarding Lalique. Every fragrance I own from the brand is amazing for the price. Be well! 👍
Just bought a set of the 3 Lalique Encre Noirs...I'm really excited. I finally took the plunge (blind buy) cause I've heard you talk about them several times now. Plus I got the 3 bottles for a great price off someone on Mercari!
I like dark fragrances and Encre Noire is way too dark and bitter. It smells like something Cruella DeVille would wear.

All of Guerlain has more than doubled in price. All the ones you’ve mentioned, I’ve purchased. They’re are top notch!

How does homage a l'homme smells alike?

Zara, Rasasi and Guerlain have great fragrances for great prices
Ombre noire from lalique it's my favorite. Love it
Mont blanc emblem is another Gem and Dolce and gabbana intenso for the price. 👍

Couldn't agree more with lalique. I'd put bentley as a tie given their linkage and price points
Very nice list ...I really have to try some of this lalique fragrances. Thanks ash
Marvelous house! Lalique equus is the "father" of Spicebomb and consequently of MIB.
Ash please do some Lalique reviews! I wanna buy all the ones you mentioned but I want your review.
My favorite kind of vids right now until I learn more about higher quality fragrances.
I got it mistakenly because i thought i ordered montblanc Explorer and got encre noire instead. I love that nice dark somber cypress mountain in a dark fall evening vibe i get from it.
What about Rasasi? Just got Hawas and now I am interested in the house. Besides them I am already a fan of Salvatore Ferragamo and Mont Blanc. Haven't gotten anything from Azarro but thinking about getting one soon.
I layered Encre Noire Cologne with Kanon and the smell was incredible but I let Encre Noire Cologne dry down a bit before layering.
Great video again and again and again...
About the Lalique Lion. Are you referring to the EDT or EDP?
Thx Ash!
Excellent choices. 👍
Not gonna lie guessed Lalique! hahaha, as you said it might not appeal to younger audience, gave it away.
Versace the dreamer is still my favourite and it is expensive in my country. I am a guy but I also love floral by gucci.
The dreamer is so old, its 2020 and it smells outdated
Which should I purchase for a versatile great performance fragrance?
Rasasi Hawas/ ADG Absolu / Profondo / Mont Blanc Explorer ?
Thankyou 🙏 so much❤️❤️❤️
2 Houses I put high are Lalique and Bentley.
Same house, different names.
Hey Ash,
Great list. Quick question is the Lalique Hommage A L'Homme still the same
Bottle?! Looking it up online the bottle is different then shown here. Thanks Ash!
I'm gonna try that LALIQUE HOMMAGE A LHOMME,sounds pretty interesting....Wish you would say how long they perform...
Hello Ash, how are you? Very nice list and video. Love LALIQUE!! Stay safe brother
Encre noir is very nice !
Great 📹 and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
If Encre Noir would cost 200 - 300$ people would praise it !
We praise it meow. 👊🏽
@@petervenkman8425 Meow what are talking about? Who you gonna call?
@@JasubOjeda I can’t heeeerrreeeee yoooouuu!! Louder!
If Gucci was sold at Walmart nobody would buy it again
What about Chanel Sycomore that cost 350$ ?
No mention of Mont Blanc Legend Night? It is probably the best flanker.
Loved the vid. Please do part 2. Ty
Great list. Appreciate the video!
You are 100% right.
Thanks for the content! Are the Lalique fragrance EDT or EDP?
Super cheap that I like? Jacques bogart of course. One man show series they are all really affordable and I really like them.
Awesome video, Ash.
If my running shoes are laced up tight enough , then roja is by far my favourite cheapie house 🏃♂️💨
You are, ⛹️♀️, sir...just, ⛹️♂️. ✊🏽 Respect to your stack game.
@@petervenkman8425 i think he means he’s gonna steal 🤣

I own every one of these and I can confirm: this is how you "ball on a budget".
I almost feel guilty about paying SO little. ALMOST.
Sorry, NOT sorry ;)
I am loving this video!!!!!!!!!!!
I keep hearing about L'insoumis, Ash.. ughhhh.. might have to try it.
Encre Noire A L'extreme is so spectacular that it only takes one whiff of it to make you buy that bottle. Extremely gorgeous notes. It has a quality similar to D&G The One.

Happy Tuesday!!!!
I'd say that Bvlgari's "Aqua" and "Man" lines deserve a nod. Ferragamo too.
Great video !
I want to buy a fragrance from your line, to use it on special occasions and to go to the disco which you recommend.
Discotheque? Gallaria Parfums “Kouros”.
Lalique pour homme smells better than Bois de Portugal in my opinion. I have both but i choose Lalique every single time.
Best cheapie fragrance house? Nautica.
I'm only half kidding. I do love Nautica fragrances. But really it's the only house that I have multiple different fragrances from... for now. Just because they're so cheap and so easy to find.
Gran video!!
id stick to mont blanc explorer and club di nuit for re buy cheapies
Is Lalique Hommage a l'homme comes in a different design bottle?
I bought this and it looks like the voyager bottle but clear glass instead of blue. Homage is a violet bomb & I do not like it
So as for equus and por homme, Ashton, would you go with the edt or edp?
You mentioned affordable Versace fragrance and you leave out The Dreamer! Tisk risk! LOL
Rasasi is by far the best one
Azzaro and halloween are very solid as well. I buy gifts from them and they never fail to be well liked as well a Versace.
luv your hair like this
Which one do you recommends UDT OR UDP on the Lalique collection?
What lalique fagrence do you recommend for a first time blind buy. 🤔 alot people recommend the lion or the horse or Homage? What will you recommend me.
Lalique,Ferragamo,Karl Lagerfeld,Roberto Cavalli,Armaf
Ferragamo is my favorite house. Personally I swear by Attimo Black Musk pour homme.
Should I get Dylan Blue or Versace pour homme? (I don't have access to testers so its a blind buy)
Depends on your taste and use , Dylan more for fall/winter , but Versace pour homme more in summer/spring 👍🏻 so try Dylan now
Laliques a sleeper House, straight grown man fragrances!
Never could get with those Encre Noire..
One cheapie nobody talks about is El Paso from Lomani. I love that stuff
*Lomani.
@@raymeester7883 that's what I meant
I'm wearing Lomani Body and soul right now
