In Germany its basically :
- Going to a Shop or Mall
- Sniff a few things before someone jumps at you to sell you something overpriced
- Run out
- And order online hoping the drydown can live up to the opening
Greetings from Germany
It’s the same in America. Can’t smell without being attacked by a sales rep
I feel you bro. 🤜🤛
Same here in Malaysia.
Hey atleast you guys get free samples...
We don't have that privilege here, you can just test them at stores.
Agree with you Ghostface315! I even have my idealo app ready to compare prices on the spot or check Parfümdreams to use their every day 20% coupon
Noo... not in Bremen... Never experienced that... But maybe it's because they know that I have a reviewing channel so, they are afraid to recommend me stuff. LOL!
5 times as much choice as a small town in Ireland 😂
The best place for me is the pharmacys, I found two bottles of original formulation la nuit de l'homme and it was buy one get one free at Christmas time 👌
Nice what was the pharmacy
Buy one get one free? I'm crying right now TT____TT
painfull, I was last year 2 weeks in Ireland but 1 month after my travelling in Ireland I started to get into fragnances, didnt missed much I guess.
@ 😂 that and got two bottles of Bond no 9 andy warhol face edition in another closing down sale. The two best funds I've ever got 🙏
Yeah pharmacy's are the best. I found 4 bottles of La Nuit Frozen Cologne in the same one and 2 more in the same franchise in another nearby town. Might friend found a 4-digit La Nuit and I found some late 2011-2014s. Pharmacies are the best
The only place in my town to buy fragrances is Walmart. Nearest actual fragrance store (Sephora, etc.) is over 2 hours away. The internet is a beautiful thing.
Alaska?
@@TheGrafton12 Oklahoma - about as far away from anything as you can get, even in the same State. I'm closer to Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas than I am to any major city in any of them.
I live in Oklahoma City and there are plenty of places to buy from.
@@keelyleilani1326 Unfortunately I am over 4 hours from OKC, but I've taken a couple of weekend trips down there to visit some stores.
@@grey7987 4 hours is a long way
The sephora at my local mall drastically reduced their mens cologne section, it use to take up half the side wall, now it's the size of the one you just showed.
I live in a town with less than 1,500 people and the closest mall is about 100 miles away. The closest wallmart is 30 miles away, all we have is a grocery store that sells body spray
I guess I consider myself lucky. I’m a stones throw from Sak’s, Neiman, Macy’s, many Sephora and Ulta as well. Basically every brand has a counter around these parts making sampling relatively easy.
Thanks for sharing
It's really cool how at those stores they show icons and descriptions on what kind of fragrance it is and what notes are in it.
The fragrance selection on display is way way way much better compared to the huge department stores display here in Phillipines. Thanks for coming back to TH-cam.
I'm soooo glad you made this video. I live eight miles from a small college town in PA. We have barely a mall, Sephora in JCP and one TJ Maxx if not driving 90 min to Pittsburgh. Glad you are showing people the scented Styx as it were...at least YOU have a Macys!! 👏 😎✌
Thanks for showing us around Ashton, really nice video idea 💪🏻
Ashton, PA?
Thanks Kanye, very cool
@@Johnnyboybravo "Ashton" as in his name. Like, "Thanks for showing us around Neon Light." I agree that a comma would've helped. I think Ash lives somewhere in the south.
I live in Phoenix and went into my local Ulta yesterday. It was the exact same display as yours right down to the order of the fragrances within each section. I was dying watching you walk through that store knowing what was coming next! Haha
same exact thing here at the ulta here in Oregon lol
Really enjoyed the video . Great to see what the selection in your town is like .
I live in a sleepy little mountain town in the heart of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. My fragrance shopping is either Walmart or Safeway, which means Cool Water or Drakkar Noir are the best available, usually. Colorado Springs has Ulta, Sephora, and all the department stores and discounters, such as TJ Maxx or Ross, and it's only a two hour drive through the canyon. Denver, which has some niche options, is a three hour drive.
One of your best videos this, great stuff. Was impressed by JC Pennys selection I'll be honest, wasn't expecting that. Hope you do more of these.
Better selection then my hometown so imo you're winning.
Wondered where you were from because your accent was so similar to mine and now it makes prefect sense. I grew up about an hour away from there on the VA side. Definitely hard to find fragrances in small town USA. Thank goodness for the internet.
Great vid! Grew up south of Knoxville and i only had freaking Belk back in the day to buy my stuff at. So thankful to be in Tampa now with a Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus around the corner among other places
That sephora in jc penny is like that everywhere no matter the size of the city. Wish they would curate with more passion
Really? In seattle our sephora has everything, very overpriced but its a great place to get samples.
@@thatonehead Yeah the stand alone sephoras are great (overpriced yes) but I was talking about the JC Penny Sephora specifically.
In Southern Arizona, sephora has its own store not attached to JC Penny. I just bought 3 fragrances there
You’ve gotta be kidding me. That looks like JC mall never knew you were local man! How cool! Makes me want to support you even more!
Polo Gold Blend is actually really nice! And that Black is Black Modern oud is pretty decent too for $8.
Ok here's the deal. I live and grew up in a large metropolis area, the SF/ Silicon Valley bay area. I guess I take this for granted. Even our Sephora has a full selection of Tom Ford. You can even buy the decanters there. If you ever come to San Francisco Ashton I'm inviting you to do some major damage shopping here.
Better selection than my town, and we even have a Macys, they don't keep things like Dior Suavage in the open, guess they get stolen too much lol.
I know it’s old but just saw this video and that’s awesome man you were right here in ole JC TN 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Thanks for the shopping trip! I feel like I actually went out for a while! :)
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the tag along. I literally live at a complete ghost town with absolutely no stores at all except a Goody's. Their selection is bare to none. I have to drive almost an hour and a half to a "decent" TJ Maxx. Luckily, I went there this Monday and they had all heavy hitters imho.
Thank You for field trip brother.. Great job
Hi Ashley, I always thought you were Canadian for some reasons. Forgive me. Well, we do have Sephora here in Singapore, some discounters which most people shy away from for reasons unknown. They are not fragheads btw. And also a place call 'Mustafa' which is popular among tourist and local alike. We do wait for about 6 months before the new arrivals hit our shores. A small island nation like Singapore, it is easy to find well known brands. The only thing missing here is those relatively unknown indie and niche brands.
I appreciate that you shot this type of videos and let people outside USA, who have not been there to see that it is not all rosy. Thanks and looking forward to more of such content.
Thanks for the video. For the Penguin line I would rate the 3 usual finds from favorite to least Iconic Blend, Premium Blend, Original Blend.
Great video and thank you for the cool shopping fragrances video .I hope you have a great day.
Smelled that polo gold blue last week. Really liked it
It's about the same here, with Ulta, a JCPENNEY based Sephora and Macy's in the mall, and TJMAXX and Ross around them. No niche, but TJMAXX surprises me every now and then. Still the majority of my fragrance shopping is done online.
Great video Ashton would love another shopping video I stay in Edinburgh in the UK loads of places to shop for fragrances in Edinburgh thanks again
I understand this dilemma completely being from southern IL. A drive to St. Louis improves my selection tremendously.
In the Mecca of Columbus GA we have several options but mostly the same stuff that's in your neck of the woods. Ulta, Sephora, Dillards, Ross, Marshalls, 2 TJ Maxx locations and so on. We also have a couple of mall fragrance stores that I am not sure are 100% legit lol. I went in the fragrance only store asking about Amouage fragrances and the guy said that all of them were for women. I haven't been back since.
I can validate this response. Joey! What's up man...haha. Cant believe I saw you on this channel man. I'm into the fragrance game. Let's do some golf soon. It's been a while.
@@AromaKicks17
Hey man I have been deep into fragrances since the late 90s... let's get together soon and hit 18
I visited Canada last month, from the uk. Spent sometime checking out the fragrances, I noticed the lack of fragrances, even in the shops. The uk seems to have dedicated shops for fragrances etc
I live in New Orleans.
Theirs a few malls (Dillards, JC Penny) and theirs a Saks in the city. About 4 Sephoras scattered around.
Not LA or New York, but not too bad.
I live in Baton Rouge, one store in gonzales tanger mall fragrance outlet they have a lot of fragrance. they have couple of ulta, Macy’s one Sephoras at the mall. A few around in Baton Rouge.
In JC, MO we have at least 3 to 4 of the stores you visited. The biggest one is Dillards and Ulta, I depend heavily upon you and a few other reviewers to keep me updated. 98% of the time I shop online.
Cool video. Seems like those stores have the same stuff as our OC california stores do. That's why I drive a little further to bloomingdales or nordstroms for my niche.
Very awesome video I think more people like you should do video like these 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
You know you live in small town USA when you go to the big city to get some free decants at Sephora. For me, local shopping would be Wal-Mart, CVS, and WalGreens. But I discourage anyone from buying fragrances at a store when online discounters sell them so much cheaper.
Nice video. Yes do more of these videos!
Fantastic, loved the idea
Live in the capital of a tiny European country and, contrary to what one would expect, we actually get a decent selection here.
All the major designers (just about) and even some niche brands like Amouage, Mancera, Etat Libre d'orange etc. Also have some dedicated perfumeries, not just as part of malls.
Great video!
Really enjoyed that, never been to the US and your TJ MAX is worlds different to the UK. Very interesting, more please!!
Cool video man, nice change. I'm in a small city in France (from London UK) and there are five fragrance stores, none with a great selection alas. One of the chain-stores stocks Le Couvent des Minimes though, which is a nice change and another one always has limited edition Azzaro stuff. The Sephora has a pretty big selection for the ladies and they stock Serge Lutens but always seem slow with new releases (still don't have ADG Absolu Instinct for example) they've also never heard of John Varvatos lol.
The second store had a decent selection of designer brands. If I lived there I would shop at that store.
I'm fortunate enough to live in New York City- you can get virtually any brand, in addition there are quite a few niche fragrance boutiques like By Kilian, Parfums de Marly , Bond No 9, Frederic Malle and many, many others.
Come to California for a visit. Between San Jose, Stanford, and San Fran...got access to a lot to check out!
Welcome to the vlog world , Ash.
I think your idea of a small town is different than mine. I live near Boone, NC and when I saw your selection, I was like “nice!”.
I live in the Chicago suburbs and it's mostly the same. There are more malls in the area but the outlets all have the same stuff. I enjoy going to Ross, TJ Maxx, Burlington, etc. more but even with those stores I start seeing themes fairly quickly. Most of my purchases are online blind buys.
Actually enjoyed this video
For a small US town, they have more variety than the city I live in.
I spotted Givenchy Pi. I love that scent.
There's a Macy's about 5 miles from my apt building, so that's where I usually go. Our local Nordstrom's bit the dust 2 years ago.
Managed to find ADP Colonia Club at my local Marshalls!! Some Bond No 9 at my TJ Maxx as well. Pricing wasn’t all that great though.
They follow me like I'm gonna steal something too. Thanks for the video.
This was a really cool video. It is exactly the same shopping in Fargo North Dakota.
În romania you only have one frag shop in a city and you usually get like three time less fragrance, and then you have your typical little cosmetics shop where you can usually find some ok cheapies like some UDV and La Rive, but mostly that's all
It’s the same actually,, I live here in Washington DC and the rack stores are 80 to 90% like the ones You got out there the only time I notice you can find Creed fragrances or some top Notch colognes like that around Christmas time that’s about it everything else Is mediocre Nautica Beverly Hills polo club etc. But if you’re dedicated you will find some heavy hitters for super cheap Great Video 🤙
Flying out to DC for a week here in a couple days, Anything nice to check out? I noticed there was a Le Labo up on capitol hill. And a perfume store over in Oxon Hill.
Senjosu! Definitely pentagon city mall in that area they go to marshals and T.J. Maxx that always Has great fines and if you go in the mall they have a Zara All in the same area definitely check that out!
I'm in Charleston SC and that Sephora selection is better than the limited options we have. 😭
(Gotta love the mall - I heard the baby shark song in the background 😂)
I live in suburban London, very close to a shopping mall with 280 shops and 70 restaurants. Online is still the way to go though.
14:31 Giorgio Red for men. One of the all-time greats. Grab it!!
I'm in Boston, and Neiman Marcus and Barney's take care of some of the more well-known niche brands (Creed, MFK, etc.). Saks has Le Labo, Ex Nihilo, Bond No. 9, and Kilian. Since Newbury Street is a shopping destination, there's a lot to be had around here.
But I still have dreams of opening up a niche shop that stocks stuff like Imaginary Authors, Profumum Roma, and stuff like that. Someday, when making money is no object...
Awesome vloggy style video!
Really enjoyed this vid! Trinidad its ok but the prices they charge are expensive! Yep again!
I like this type of content
That Sephora fragrance section is an exact replica of the one we have here in Delhi, India except here you have Tom Ford and some of the higher end Zegna frags also.
Sounds like the exact setup at my mall. About 40 mins away theres a Perfumania that has quite a bit more stuff.
We got nice selection in Cleveland , we even have one that sells Indie and lots of high end Niche , also we have Nordstroom and Saks fifth avenue
Man.!! I should consider myself lucky to live where I live. There are many stores near me (Nordstrom, Macy’s, Sephora, Ulta, Neiman Marcus and Saks being about 40 minute drive) that I can go to and sniff many fragrances. Oh, I have a TJ Max too, but can never find any deals. Nice video Ash.
In my town we have a Walmart and a Walgreens that sell fragrances for insane prices (50ml bottles for 100ml retail prices). Then we have a Bealls that sells a handful of fragrances for decent prices. So I think we have different ideas of what a small town is (Nautica, Adidas, and Beverly Hills Polo Club). lol
love this theme , bring more life vlog pls
tks A
i feel ya..about the same here, and im not too far from your area. At least your stores had the names listed on the display racks. Did you try the Tommy Maritime Deep Blue? I really liked it. Nice representation of the beach/ocean.
Definitely more stuff than the department stores in PDX. Thankfully we have a couple niche/independent boutiques.
I work in baja duty free were we sell fragrance i get 35 percent of any fragrance so its nice
Wow, wish i could find some Issey for $15! I hit all the discounters in Louisville, Ky. that i can fairly often. I found a Ch Men Prive set at tjmaxx the other day marked down to $44. Didnt get it but probably should have. Cool vid. Take care.
Miami is fantastic there are incredible niche boutiques
Pharmacies in Australia get their fragrances on the Grey Market. A couple of national chains dominate. Prices much lower for most fragrances versus your standard national superstores. Variety usually broader in pharmacies. Only one specialty fragrance store in my state of around 500,000. Slightly better selection vs pharmacies but only recently stocked niche, which was a small selection of Creed. However go to Myer in Melbourne and freak out!
In Concord NC it is very similar to your shopping experience... I have to drive to South Charlotte (40 miles away) thats where they have higher end stores ... Nieman Marcus, Nordstroms and stores like that.
Love the Howard Stern reference. 😂🤣😂🤣
Lol, I hear ya man! At least your Sephora has 3 rows! They keep on asking me if I've tried the "new Savage cologne ".. Your Belk seems a little like our Kohl's. Thanks for letting us know that we're not alone :/
They actually have more than I expected... I was thinking it would be a drugstore kind of availability... or Dollar Tree selection....
You have the same stores I have here in Charleston, SC.
Belk has a lot here.
What a great idea for video:)
Yeah!!! Road trip!!
Your TJMaxx has better stock than the 2 local ones for me. I did pick up BR Neroli Woods ($20) and Commodity Vetiver ($32) at my local Marshalls. Neroli Woods was a great cheapy. That Commodity is interesting with a blackberry note on top of Vetiver and Jasmine bomb.
Ronnie The Limo Driver shoutout! Awesome.
Same here bro 😂in Macedonia
Im from Skopje-capital-but it’s 1/2 M people-not too big for us city standards
I feel you. My city only has Ross, TJ Maxx, Belk, and Sephora(one inside JC Penney's like yours). Seem slike they are almost identical to what you have lol
I only have walmart within a hour drive until I hit a sephora that only carries designers. Takes 3 hours to hit a Saks.
Dudeeee!!! I know your pain. Grew up in Kingsport, nearly impossible to find anything at our mall. We’d always go to yours because we thought it was the nicest one in the tri-cities 😂😂
I saw you briefly mentioned the Pecksniffs ... what are your impressions?
They should move all those Nautica Blue bottles to the bug spray section, they would probably sell more...
midgetghost for reals.i picked up some Sauvage at Macy’s the other day and they threw in some nasty Nautical Round-Up by Monsanto samplers. So gross.
:D
I don't know why Nautica Blue gets such a bad rap, I actually like it. You want bug spray, how about moving Calvin Klein Obsession there, that stuff is gagging.
Nautica voyage puts all these overrated & expensive designer and niche fragrances to shame
heavenly smell, mad Performance only for 8 bucks
quit hating and learn something......
Hi i just saw the dg light blue sun. How does that perform?
Same here in Chattanooga
Tommy into the surf is really nice 😉👌
Wow Claiborne galore!I am lucky because in my city i have large selection of choices,i have got like 70 different places where i can find old and new stuff!Well this is the scent of life!
Dude I feel your pain I only have Sephora And Ulta an TJ Max has absolutely nothing in a small town in Michigan
It’s not even close to bad, for anything like that I have to travel over 100 miles. Closest wallmart is 30
Do you have any Burlington's out there? Seem to have a decent selection of designers on discounts sort of like TJ Maxx or Ross
