I love Thierry Mugler A-men!! My mother brought me the fragrance with the metal case in 2009.Memories of my mother.She passed away in October of 2018.I have fond memories of this fragrance. She loved the Women's version and wore it often. I would buy it for her.
Love the intro Brother!!! I often use Ariana Grande's Cloud as an alternative to BR540... it works... also Dua's Casino Royale Nights.. But I must now try out JV Artisan Blu because I LOVE TF's Mandarino di Amalfi. Thanks 😎👍
In this kind of list, Encre Noire Sport is the king and if you spend more: Cartier Declaration. if you can find it: Oud for Glory blew me away. I m interested in Guerlain Vetiver. Anyone like this last one?
Had a bottle of original Aqva senior year of high school. Wish I had the nose I have now to truly appreciate it. Very solid. Hope to get a new bottle soon
Zara's Red Temptation may have been the best, but once they sold out, they never released a 2nd batch. It's been out of stock around the world for a number of months now.
How about a "10 Worst Armaf Releases" video? I think some of their other decent clones are Tres Nuit (Cool Water/Green Irish Tweed) and CDNI Women (TF Noir de Noir). As far as BR540 goes, the best clone so far may have been "Red Temptation" by Zara. It was said to be strong and last for a long time, too. Unfortunately, like too many of their better ones, once they sold out around the world, they never cooked up another batch.
I've tried some of the hyped Armafs, and I find them to be nothing special. Sillage and Milestone are nothing to write home about in my opinion... Too synthetic.
Your moderation has moved significantly up from the entertainment level, without even to be akward like some else. I like that you present often fragrances I dont know. Many other moderators show so often the same boring hyped stuff.
Hi Ash, great content. Quick question. Tom Ford Oud wood has terrible longevity and sillage when I use it (even if I bath in the body spray too). Is the body oil a better option to increase longevity and sillage, or does it perform in a similar fashion?
Milestone is utter trash too. If this is what Millisime Imperial smells like, then I pity those who paid Creed prices! The hype for this fragrance is disingenuous. It’s a very poor performer.
I was the 666th like. The number of the beast. Sweet! Loved the beginning of this video, Ash! Lol. Great video, great list, as usual. Definitely love my Artisan Blu! 👍
I love cheap alternatives and yes, By Kilian Intoxicated and Mugler A Men for sure have similarities, but the quality in Intoxicated is astronomically higher than A Men.
@@flightgravity7483 who knows man. rack stores are hit or miss concerning price. Sometimes they’re unaware of how cheap we can get em on discounters, or they price gouge for a profit. I saw a Dylan Blue 50mL for $50 and Legend Night 100ml for $60. 👎
What's everyone's malfunction about the chair? Bad? Yeah, totally bad to the bone. How else should he look out upon his hundred thousand of youtube subscribers? He's straight up chillin' like a villain, y'all. Gellin' like a felon.

Hands down the best fragrance channel on RUclips
Bro check fragrance apprentice
The best fragrance channel chair
Your right! This guy says what I really want to hear, he knows a lot about fragrances. Thx for the insight sir!
This is the best intro i have seen in a long time .
Definitely a great one but Curly Fragrance recent intro is hilarious
You people are easily entertained lol weak!
@@Denco12 yeah , we dont need a lambo ride to be entertained
Ha ha lol😁😂🤣Ash must feel like this all the time!
Ash is getting creative with the cheap scents
Fear is the best motivator.
Can you do 5 expensive fragrances that smell like 5 cheap fragrances? LoL
Original santal copied individuel from Mont Blanc
Well, the fragrances that these 5 cheap ones copied lol
Puredistance M would top that list.
Take a look at half the Penhaligons and ADP catalogue!
@@lordcharfield about to buy some penhaligons; which ones are knockoffs??

Kind suggestion: Guerlain Vetiver Extreme. Often overlooked.
Hey Ash, friends here

OG AQVA is my fav, its deep ocean dive fantasy with luxury accents, not too salty or minerally compared to other similar colognes. Very nice.
I love you man never stop doing what you do. Just upgraded my collection now I own 20 frags which isn’t a lot but we growinnn
These videos get better and better.
Let's say that Intoxicated (launched in 2014) was inspired by A Men (launched in 1996). Just to be fair to Thierry Mugler.
Had a bottle of original Aqva senior year of high school. Wish I had the nose I have now to truly appreciate it. Very solid. Hope to get a new bottle soon
Why hope? Just buy it.
Hilarious opening. I love Artisan Blu (as with any Varvatos I've tried) so your informed endorsement on a more under the radar JV is nice to hear.
I love the scent trail of BR 540, on a woman. But I don't wear it anymore. Too sweet for someone my age.
Curt I am 70 years old and I wear it and it's my compliment 🧲 magnet
@@brucemiller9271 You've got the power, brother!
Hmm for B540 try Zara Red Tempatation or... Swiss Arabian Gharaam😁😉
Zara's Red Temptation may have been the best, but once they sold out, they never released a 2nd batch. It's been out of stock around the world for a number of months now.
Love this channel always come back for more
Jonh Varvatos Artisan Blu
Nice scent for the prise
Though I like Blu too, but I have already got Artisan Pure.
Is Milestone better than Sean John Unforgivable? I heard that Unforgivable is also a clone of Millesime Imperial🤔
Yes, by a mile.
The og bvlgari aqva is in my top 5 favs of all time
Love your channel so much man. The best, and the only source I enjoy.
Got an axe ad before this. Axe better be number 1
Great 📹 and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day

@gentsscents what is your favorite of the armaf line if you were going to pick one?
I've tried some of the hyped Armafs, and I find them to be nothing special.
Sillage and Milestone are nothing to write home about in my opinion... Too synthetic.
Yeah the Supremacy Silver was just OK, wasn't disappointed but I don't have to buy it again when I'm finish with the bottle.
I have Armaf Milestone and I think it's a masterpiece.
I absolutely love it
The price is what makes them so great
Club de Nuit Intense man is a dead ringer for Aventus. No question.
Ash the coach.
PG - Ross
SG - Cuba
SF - BBB
PF - Bowtie
C - Equality
I don't need nobody else. I watch the winning team. Nice list.
That introduction though! So true!
u aint lyin this is the only kind of fragrance videos i like watching
Totally agreed about armaf's misses
The beginning haha ❤️
Artisan Blu also reminds me of Amouage Beach Hut Man. Not sure if you own or tried Beach Hut Man.
Hey ash, can you review mancera cedrat boise? I couldn’t find a video of you reviewing it.
My most complimented fragrance of all time
Best intro ever!

Ash...i am looking for a substitute for John Varvatos Vintage. Can you please help?
Might as well get vintage its self..its very cheap
I never like videos. But man the intro was worth a thumbs up lol. Great content and info. Thanks for getting me introduced to the fragrance game.
Love the beginning!!! Ha ha! Great content!
Hi Ash, great content. Quick question. Tom Ford Oud wood has terrible longevity and sillage when I use it (even if I bath in the body spray too). Is the body oil a better option to increase longevity and sillage, or does it perform in a similar fashion?
Well, try Oud Wood Intense. It will never leave you.
@@YourEx.. Thanks
"Then their's Club de Nuit Urban Man..........that's gutter trash" LOLLOL!!!!!! Love it Ash!!!! Keep em coming
Milestone is utter trash too. If this is what Millisime Imperial smells like, then I pity those who paid Creed prices! The hype for this fragrance is disingenuous. It’s a very poor performer.
Hahahahahah I fell out of my chair watching that intro hahah awesome!
I was the 666th like. The number of the beast. Sweet! Loved the beginning of this video, Ash! Lol. Great video, great list, as usual. Definitely love my Artisan Blu! 👍
bvlgari aqva came out IN (2005)wayyyy before Oud Minérale which was launched in 2017 !!!! WHO`S COPYING WHO HERE !!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That intro though!! I thought I was the only one that argued with myself like that!
Enjoyed it brah!
I love cheap alternatives and yes, By Kilian Intoxicated and Mugler A Men for sure have similarities, but the quality in Intoxicated is astronomically higher than A Men.
But you could have like 600ML of A Men VS 50ML of Intoxicated...
I haven’t smelled Intoxicated, but is it “550ML for your money better?”
What about Armaf Craze? Great clone of pdm pegasus.
You should do an armaf top 10 big hits
When will you collab with the fragrance apprentice??
can anyone tell me if milestone is a better clone of MI than rush of unicorns? To me nothing is closer than rush of unicorns plus it performs well.
Milestone is much closer to MI imo
What's your opinion on Tom Ford Mandarino di Amalfi?
This is why you’re my favorite. You’re awesome brother.
Please review the new Lacoste blanc 2021
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 I just love your contents. They just keep getting better and better.
Thank you for the review, wish there is time stamp on your video.
This edit was awesome🔥🔥
Ash !! Top quality advice as usual bro !! 👏
How about Sean Jean Unforgivable or Michael Jordan’s Legend?
I scored that Artisan Blu at Ross for $25 and it's great
Doesn't bulgari aqva smell kinda like D&G light blue?
To me it does, it smells like it could be a flanker of Light Blue, similar to Light Blue Sun...
@@rpatrickpm4097 for sure!! I knew I wasn't the only one with that impression of bvlgari aqva
@@rpatrickpm4097 for sure!! I knew I wasn't the only one with that impression of bvlgari aqva
Would you ever consider doing less talked about JPG flankers like Le Beau Male or the xmas version??? Thanks
love the content man
Owned the varvatos artisan blue and gifted it , wasn’t a big fan of it. But artisan pure absolutely the best spring/summer fragrance of the house.
Can you do top Tom Ford and / or Bond No9?
You should make a “2021 best clones “
I thought Banana Republic br540 type fragrance was the Rosewood amor
I love your introduction. Just godlike 👍🏼
Do a video on the worst of armaf!
I think it still must be armaf craze fraiche. The review says it all:
ruclips.net/video/mWtjvTS1sEc/видео.html
Love to see a review of the Armafs that are hits ... obviously CDNIM and now CDN Milestone .. but others?
Can you put the name of the fragrance beside where the link is to get the fragrance?
Which should I buy? Bvlgari Aqva or Marine? (I hate Atlantiqve)
I think I preferred the Marine version, but I used both interchangeably. Try sampling both.
@@demoneyeslaharl how is the performance?
@@ExistentialSadness on my skin, it's a about average. But that was a long time ago. I have no idea if they reformulated it or not.
Great Intro!
kupili ste me, tako je u mojoj glavi sa 40 eura stay healty!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that intro.....Ash u nailed it again bro..
What about Galleria fragrances (as seen on Craigs List)?? They’re practically giving them away. Dirt cheap.
Hilarious Intro Bro!
Thats wat xactly indo when i want to purchase and add in my collection
Oakcha sweven is a great BR540 alternative
With the stimulus checks they can splurg on some higher end frags.
the intro alone was worth the thumps up
Love the switch of intro
Bro ur fking awesome. Lol. That intro was funny AF hahaha
Armaf silage is so close to SMW" its actually better and longer lasting I think
Ashton how have you not mentioned Guess Man yet???? Inexpensive banger!!!!
A beautiful fragrance mind vibes in the intro
Bulgari Aqua Alantique to me is very similar to Creen Mileseme Imperial... what do you think Ashton?
Heck no! Not even close!
I wish I could find the uncompromising Sohan
I saw a single 100ml bottle of Bvlgari Aqva at TJ Maxx yesterday, but they wanted $60 for it. Needless to say I left it right there on the rack.
Yeah for that price I gotta know that it works for me and I like the scent. To expensive to blind buy from a rack store.
I found atlantique for $50 in my TJ maxx. Stay within that sweet spot of $40-50.
@@chadj4237 I did too. Aqva Marine as well. Not sure why regular Aqva cost more
@@flightgravity7483 who knows man. rack stores are hit or miss concerning price. Sometimes they’re unaware of how cheap we can get em on discounters, or they price gouge for a profit. I saw a Dylan Blue 50mL for $50 and Legend Night 100ml for $60. 👎
You can find it online for cheaper
I'll agree with whatever you say, I don't want to catch your hands 👊😬
Which is the best?
Bvlgari aqva amara
Bvlgari aqva
Bvlgari aqva marine
More vids like this plz :)
Never left a comment... But that skit was the guts 😂😂😂
JV Artisan Blu = Acqu Di Parma Colonia Club
Make a video on best and worst armaf's.
JV Artisan Blu smells like Irish spring soap
Switching things up
Aqva Hype!
