Thanks, Ashton! I love Montblanc Legend Spirit and Lacoste L’Homme. Other cheap favorites of mine are Burberry Touch, Sean John Unforgivable, and Nautica Voyage.
I bought Leau D'issey Intense as a blind buy when I was starting with fragrances and hated it. Tried it again, months later when my nose was more refined and loved it.
@@fauxtography1018 yeah.. I don’t know.. I did not feel it was a smell I wanted to smell for hours.. it was odd.. I thought no one would by an open bottled so kept there.. then o gave it a try and was able to sell it.. then I sold all fragrances I was not using
I'm still gonna call them colognes! LOL Currently I'm working on completing my collection of Bentley fragrances. I just need the new Cashmere and Musk "private line" fragrances. Ashton I would love to know what you think of the line as a whole and review it. Everyone talks about Bentley Man Intense and rightly so, but you don't hear a lot about the rest of the fragrances. It would be cool to hear your thoughts.
That adorable bottle of Aqua Essenziale.... And no jokes, I actually preferred the scent to BDC before the edp came out. As far as LDPH Intense, it has a bizarre cacophony of notes in the opening but I get a nice spiced-and-honeyed yuzu in the drydown. So much more interesting than most freshies nowadays and super cheap up here in Canada.
I've always recommended chrome and its flankers to guys just getting into fragrances. Honestly can't go wrong with any of them but Aqua, Extreme and the new EDP are amazing.
Too many people sleep on original Bvlgari Man - this remains in my Top5 in warm weather every year - still amazes me. Not with its performance, but it's another Morillas beauty.
I just got it today along with xerjoff nio stronger with you freeze and aqua di gio profumo. The issey miyaki is my favorite... It feels weird even typing that.
Interesting, I bought it as a blind buy. Got it, and smelled it. I could not stand it. I really wanted to like it, but just couldnt..Giving it to a coworker. I like original better.
I have been enjoying the cheap niche stuff recently. Caron, Mancera etc. I got this one a couple weeks ago mancera aoud violet... no love but man is it delicious.
Michael Kors For Men , just bought in London, probably paid a bit more than I would have liked for a 40ml bottle but glad I did as this 2014 release is difficult to come by. So wearable and warm , beautiful tiny bottle. Thanks for your excellent clear review as I was able to pick up exactly the right bottle.
Every day I look through my dozens of fragrances... And I just want to wear Chrome Aqua. I'm captivated by its scent. I just ordered a second bottle because I wear it so much.
I'm just did a blind buy of Chrome Aqua based off of Ashes recommend from Fragrancex. Plus I did once upon a time own the original Chrome which I really liked. So after seeing your comment I'm excited to find out how this fragrance smells personally 😎
I just received Artisan Pure, was shocked to find out it smells nearly identical to 4711 and nobody ( "all the experts") has ever even hinted at that. So much for all frag reviewers who were boasting about it and havent had a clue.
Bought Boss Bottled Tonic when it came out, because i loved the smell, very similar to tommy by Tommy Hilfiger. The only problem, is that it doesn't last more than 2 hours. Horrible longevity...
Great video! Have considered the Azzaro Chrome Aqua because I wore Chrome years ago, but have hesitated between that one and Azzaro Chrome Extreme, which seems to have higher reviews. Waiting to smell them before blind buying. In the mean time I might just buy the original Chrome :P
Mont blanc presence is a awesome cheapie managed to get a 100ml Aqua Colonia by Ferragamo at my Marshalls for 25 and been looking for the rest still no luck
Hey Ash, im from Brazil and i really like your videos. Bvlgari Men and Legend Spirit are very nice, unfortunately can't find here a lot of another fragrances that you said, like Pery Ellis, buts ok kkkk best regards
You gotta give Power of Seduction by Antonio Banderas a shot. With a name like that you know its either a 2 or 10. 80 percent AF Fierce, 10% Sauvage, 10% water to make it a little less aggressive. Daytime high heat winner.
Is Chrome Aqua smells better than Chrome Sport? I don’t own the Aqua but I saw that Chrome Sport has a higher rating at fragrantica and I really like the smell. I like it more compared to Versace Man Eau Fraiche.
You mentioned that Issey Miyake was one of the top 3 fragrance houses for high value and low price. I would like to know the other two. I would guess maybe Lalique and ?
Hey Ash! Awesome list as usual. Just FYI, Issey Miyake is pronounced ‘mee-yah-keh’ instead of ‘kee’. This applies to Japanese in general, such as karaoke and karate. Hope that helps!
Some hits but also some misses in this list. Take the Lagerfeld and and Ferragamo Acqua off the list, and I hate to be redundant but Perry Ellis 360 red should always be on top cheapie lists. I know it’s been done already, but that’s because it a banger.
Well, I appreciate you tackling the topic. Remember, not everyone in your audience is an expert, and many don’t want to be. Lots of different motives for being on a particular YT channel at a given time 👍🏻
Need more cheap/quality lists. I'm looking for the best value products. Don't mind paying up if the price is more than worth it. Awesome job keep it up!
Nice video. What do you prefer between these: Coach NY, Acqua Atlantic by Bulgary, Lanvin L'homme, Burberry touch, Versace Dylan blue and Light Blue intense by DG?
I know I will be off topic here, but do you know Ulysse by Vicky Tiel? What do you think about? All the fragrances you show here are simply awesome Congratulations!!
Great video, Ash! And here I thought I was the only one that reeeaaaallly loved Michael Kors for Men. I have put quite the dent in that bottle since I’ve had it. Also love Bois de Vetiver. Be well Ash!
Hi, Ashton. Do you find Bvlgari Black Cologne similar to L'eau d'issey Intense? At first smell I found them very similar, with the exception of the resinous notes in bvlgari
I admit to having sensitive skin, so I can’t wear dollar store fragrances. The same funky rash I get from 1 dollar frags, I got from Mont Blanc Legend 😔 My teenage son’s collection is all the cheapies I’m allergic too and he was just gifted another one 😂
Don't know if you have sampled Or Ensens or Nior Ambre from Issey Miyake? I know it is a little difficult to get in the US. I have a decant of Or Ensens and it is a spice gem.
Cologne is description of the concentration of oils inside the fragrance and it means the lowest concentration of oils. Perfume means highest concentration of oils in the fragrance. It’s wrong saying cologne if the concentration is Eau de parfum or pure parfum. Term cologne comes from a toilet water with a strong, characteristic scent, originally made in Cologne, Germany. That being said it’s very wrong using term cologne for all men’s fragrances. It’s a mistake usually done by American people, but we can learn the right way and correct that.
Vladimir Gochevski It may not be the proper term, but typically men’s fragrances are called “cologne” and women’s fragrances “perfume” in casual conversation. But I understand. I get annoyed when people call any Japanese cuisine with fish and rice “sushi”.
I love Chrome Pure !!! And I can’t find it anywhere. Fragrance Net / Fragrance X everyone is out... Only place is Macy’s for like $87 !! I paid like $25 or something for mine. Anyone know where to get it ?? Thanks
Yeah, I've changed my lingo a while back, but my wife calls them all cologne😂😂😂. Me: Babe, can you pass the that one right there? Her: "No, you should wear Sauvage parfum" Me:😗💨 Her: "It's my favorite cologne" Me:😳😳😳🤯
"Cologne" comes from a city in Germany and more in particular from the original Neroli fragrance 4711. Only Americans use "Cologne" for Fragrance just like only Americans call football soccer while the rest of the world calls football football. Another one of the many American misnomers is "French Fries" which is only used by Americans. Nobody in Europe relates it with France because origins are not French but Belgian and called "Frittes".
Americans call fragrances in bottles colognes. A lot of Europeans call fragrances in bottles perfumes. Both words are incorrect descriptions. Greetings from a European citizen.
love your work ash but to be fair most of these are edt and not colognes. not even cologne strength in a edt. still i admit you picked some nice ones though.
Its very green, like forest green, think evergreen, thats why people associate it with the holidays, its very nice cologne but maybe not for everyday wear/signature scent.
Is there a difference on how long the fragrance last if u buy from macys rather than say fragrance net.com are the ones from fragrance net.com not authentic???
What a brilliant difference you achieved by adding an icon for each reviewed fragrance. Well done!
Aaand it's gone.
Can you actually read the words? So small.
Thanks, Ashton! I love Montblanc Legend Spirit and Lacoste L’Homme. Other cheap favorites of mine are Burberry Touch, Sean John Unforgivable, and Nautica Voyage.
I bought Leau D'issey Intense as a blind buy when I was starting with fragrances and hated it. Tried it again, months later when my nose was more refined and loved it.
I had it and did not like… time passed and I never wear it so I sold it
Yeah, I ended up selling mine too. It was fine, but there are too many better fragrances out there.
@@fauxtography1018 yeah.. I don’t know.. I did not feel it was a smell I wanted to smell for hours.. it was odd.. I thought no one would by an open bottled so kept there.. then o gave it a try and was able to sell it.. then I sold all fragrances I was not using
8:28 You can't find what you found at T J Maxx a week ago much less years ago. The choices are ever changing.
I'm still gonna call them colognes! LOL Currently I'm working on completing my collection of Bentley fragrances. I just need the new Cashmere and Musk "private line" fragrances.

Chrome Aqua is a amazing and last about 8 hours on me. I get mostly the vetiver note off my skin and I love it
8:20 I got Acqua Essenziale last Christmas at either TJ Maxx or Marshalls for $12 USD.
I almost got your beat I found one at a pallet store for four bucks.
I need to make a local Ross run....been like half a year since I went. See if they got anything I might want.🤔✔
Too many people sleep on original Bvlgari Man - this remains in my Top5 in warm weather every year - still amazes me. Not with its performance, but it's another Morillas beauty.
At 10:10, you mention Michael Kors. I love that cologne but can’t find it anymore. What cologne is similar? Thanks for your pro tips!
l'eau d'issey intense is certainly underrated, such a gorgeous fragrance
It is a nice fragrance and it has depth but it is not a compliment getter for me and the feedback i get isnt always positive
IT'S one of my husband's favorite. He loves Hermes.
love Issey Intense! It is so unique and bold.
Nelson J same. I returned it after testing it out. Incense is waaay too heavy for me. If it had a little sweetness, it would’ve been better
I just got it today along with xerjoff nio stronger with you freeze and aqua di gio profumo. The issey miyaki is my favorite... It feels weird even typing that.
Yes! Issey Miyake Intense is the best. I always return to it even after building a large collection.
Interesting, I bought it as a blind buy. Got it, and smelled it. I could not stand it. I really wanted to like it, but just couldnt..Giving it to a coworker. I like original better.
I have been enjoying the cheap niche stuff recently. Caron, Mancera etc. I got this one a couple weeks ago mancera aoud violet... no love but man is it delicious.
I would also recommend the guess pour homme line, around $25 for a 100ml bottle. They all smell fantastic and decently high quality
Aqua chrome!!!!!! Probably my favorite summer /water scent!

If I knew this was nearly identical clone of 4711 would have never sought out to own it. Test it out first, fair warning.

Great list glad to see I have half of them...sort of makes up for the numerous $200+ bottles I have
Mont blanc presence is a awesome cheapie
managed to get a 100ml Aqua Colonia by Ferragamo at my Marshalls for 25 and been looking for the rest still no luck
Always pumping out great material. Appreciate all you do for the fragrance community, Ashton!
Hey Ash, im from Brazil and i really like your videos. Bvlgari Men and Legend Spirit are very nice, unfortunately can't find here a lot of another fragrances that you said, like Pery Ellis, buts ok kkkk best regards
Fragrance : *Has Pineapple*
Everyone : Aventus Clone??
( No hate love your vids )
4 real.. it has ambroxine?? ITS SAUVAGE clone!!!
You gotta give Power of Seduction by Antonio Banderas a shot. With a name like that you know its either a 2 or 10.
80 percent AF Fierce, 10% Sauvage, 10% water to make it a little less aggressive. Daytime high heat winner.
I just bought Michael Kors at TJM for $ 16 . Such a nice smell.
Is Chrome Aqua smells better than Chrome Sport? I don’t own the Aqua but I saw that Chrome Sport has a higher rating at fragrantica and I really like the smell. I like it more compared to Versace Man Eau Fraiche.
Love Legend Spirit! Really thinking of taking the plunge on Chrome Aqua, very affordable here in the UK.
I got it a few weeks ago. I really enjoy it! Got unsolicited comments when i wore it to brunch last weekend
You mentioned that Issey Miyake was one of the top 3 fragrance houses for high value and low price. I would like to know the other two. I would guess maybe Lalique and ?
Can you make a list of long lasting cheapies or versatiles?
This is awesome, thank you so much ❤ Do you have a similar list for women fragrances?
Hey Ash! Awesome list as usual. Just FYI, Issey Miyake is pronounced ‘mee-yah-keh’ instead of ‘kee’. This applies to Japanese in general, such as karaoke and karate. Hope that helps!
I never knew that !
Japanese also has the "ee" い sound though. Example teriyaki 照り焼き
Thanks Ashton. very helpful. could you please do a list of fresh,afffordable and long lasting. thanks
Great list and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
Some hits but also some misses in this list. Take the Lagerfeld and and Ferragamo Acqua off the list, and I hate to be redundant but Perry Ellis 360 red should always be on top cheapie lists. I know it’s been done already, but that’s because it a banger.
Well, I appreciate you tackling the topic. Remember, not everyone in your audience is an expert, and many don’t want to be. Lots of different motives for being on a particular YT channel at a given time 👍🏻
What is the best site to get fragrances from? Thanks for the help and pushing me in the right direction
Need more cheap/quality lists. I'm looking for the best value products. Don't mind paying up if the price is more than worth it. Awesome job keep it up!
Just bought a 3.4 oz Tester bottle of Lacoste L’homme off Ebay from ForeverLux $20 .!.!.!
Nice video. What do you prefer between these: Coach NY, Acqua Atlantic by Bulgary, Lanvin L'homme, Burberry touch, Versace Dylan blue and Light Blue intense by DG?
User feedback.. loving the visuals , can you also recommend to setting for the fragrances.
Luv the daily content Ash! Best Fragrance reviewer in the Game!!!
Got the "Tommy Tropics" inspired background 😊 great list btw thank you
What about Blue Seduction by Antonio Banderas?? Super cheap and smells awesome!!!
Absolutely. Too bad it only lasts 2 hours...
Whoa!! In February, I got Perry Ellis America (2019) for $19.99 at Ross. What a steal.
Me too. The cologne is awesome
@@dozzy44 For the price, absolutely. At retail price? NO WAY!!
I will need to check some of the list out
I know I will be off topic here, but do you know Ulysse by Vicky Tiel? What do you think about?
All the fragrances you show here are simply awesome
Congratulations!!
Great video, Ash! And here I thought I was the only one that reeeaaaallly loved Michael Kors for Men. I have put quite the dent in that bottle since I’ve had it. Also love Bois de Vetiver. Be well Ash!

I use to have the Mk and man I use to get a tons of compliments for that I’m still looking for it
Thanks, man! I'm 58 years old and have found your reviews invaluable. Peace
I love your back drop fabric pattern. Where can I buy them? Awesome!
Keep it up with the cheapie lists!!!
Hey can you put the names next to the links so we no which ones we are looking for
Bro, why would you not name the Fragrances in the description? So that we can click on the link? Discounters don't deliver everywhere!
I Expected Burberry OG,Brit,London,The Beat,Touch&Sport Were Another Inexpensive Gem Scent.
Don't know if you have sampled Or Ensens or Nior Ambre from Issey Miyake? I know it is a little difficult to get in the US. I have a decant of Or Ensens and it is a spice gem.
Those two aren't cheapies
What are the performance factors on these tho? 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
What would be you're preference between Chrome exreme and chrome aqua ???
I've always call fragrances cologne so now I feel attacked😂
Cologne is description of the concentration of oils inside the fragrance and it means the lowest concentration of oils. Perfume means highest concentration of oils in the fragrance.

@@vladimirgochevski8331 Nah, it's cool.
I call them cologne whenever I am with people who may not know as much about fragrances. With my fragheads I say fragrance, EDP, or EDT accordingly.
Vladimir Gochevski It may not be the proper term, but typically men’s fragrances are called “cologne” and women’s fragrances “perfume” in casual conversation. But I understand. I get annoyed when people call any Japanese cuisine with fish and rice “sushi”.
@@flightgravity7483 now this is the perfect response
Great list Ashton.
Great list. I own most of them. You always have the best lists. I love chepies. I just picked up MB Skywalker.
I've been thinking about getting that, how does it smell to you?
It depends on who I'm talking to, but I refer to my fragrances as colognes if it's a casual convo with someone who isn't into fragrances like me.
No davidoff coolwater or coolwater intense?
Ha i still call them colognes! Great list Ash some lesser known gems on here👍
Is Lacoste similar to l'homme Ideal from guerlain?
Chrome is my go to and tbh its one of the biggest compliment puller ever...
I love Chrome Pure !!! And I can’t find it anywhere. Fragrance Net / Fragrance X everyone is out... Only place is Macy’s for like $87 !! I paid like $25 or something for mine. Anyone know where to get it ?? Thanks
“Fragrances” for like $40
Idk about Aqua, but original Chrome is fantastic.
Suprisingly zara 9.0 isn't on the list..along with avon tommorow best fragnace below 20 $ for me
Great vid ash! Thank you sir.......
Awesome list man, keep it going!
Yeah, I've changed my lingo a while back, but my wife calls them all cologne😂😂😂.
Me: Babe, can you pass the that one right there?
Her: "No, you should wear Sauvage parfum"
Me:😗💨

Who cares millimeter...
Part of Belgium is basically France. Same language, same customs, similar history etc. So it's understandable that they call it French fries.
I loveeee this✨🤩 tysm🤙🏽
love your work ash but to be fair most of these are edt and not colognes. not even cologne strength in a edt. still i admit you picked some nice ones though.
I will try Issey Miyake Intense
Currently Lacoste Timeless is on sale for 21 at Fragrancebuy ca
Just copped a bottle of Bvlgari Man, stoked af
I think America is closer to Cedrat Boise to be honest. I get a super woody dry down on it though. Oh... and the performance blows for me.
any Lomani list you consider making in the future?
Can you do an update on mancera colognes
which one on the bois line is the best?
Rasasi Hawas is better than Legend Spirit and affordable as well.
Lataffa najdia is a bomb cheapie also
We need a top 5 smell though a mask fragrance list. Please take the challenge and pass it on to another to take the challenge.
I’m interested in knowing if anyone took this challenge??
So I just bought a bottle and the diffuser doesn’t spray
How do I fix that?
SF Acqua Essenziale🔥👍🔥
One of my favorite frags from SF
It's decent cologne but compared to so many blues that are out there it doesn't stack up
love your vids, keeping the frag posted
What do you think of burberry London eau de toilet
Its very green, like forest green, think evergreen, thats why people associate it with the holidays, its very nice cologne but maybe not for everyday wear/signature scent.
Great video man 👏👏
Is there a difference on how long the fragrance last if u buy from macys rather than say fragrance net.com are the ones from fragrance net.com not authentic???
L'homme Lacoste is super!
Boss Bottled tonic also has an ''on the go'' version ;)
