Bro so jeremy fragrance is who got me into fragrances. But of course, i have to discover all the fragrance channels! Im super into your videos man, you aren’t here for anything else other than your passion and for that i salute you
So glad to see someone mention Givenchy Gentleman EDP. It's simply beautiful, and quickly became one of my favorite pickups of the year. Already went through my first bottle.
What a haul! I limit myself to one bottle every three months, so I live vicariously through your and other videos :) The second hand excitement is palpable :)
Great list and I enjoyed it and I like prada black and givenchy gentlemen only and I'm gonna try the other fragrances and have a blessed day happy New Year to you and your family
Great video! Love that you threw some Hai Karate AS in there. You should do a top AS video. Get your old school scents in there...Hai Karate, Pinaud, Old Spice, etc. Would love to see that!
Great video. Love Hai Karate. Flankers? No way...lucky duck! :-) so glad to see someone else who has eclectic tastes (Missoni-oh fuck yes!, FERRE? You go boy!!) and a sarcastic streak. Really enjoying your videos. Does In the Mood for Love have any resemblance to YSL La Nuit de L'Homme? The salient notes you listed sound like a cliff notes version of YSL. Great haul. Keep on bringing them ✌👌👍 J xox
I've been following Merchant of Venice fragrances on social media for a long while, but never even been able to smell any of their scents, haha! Glad to hear that they are getting easier to get here in the States. I also follow Penhaligons from London although I've never smelled any of their fragrances; however, they seem easier to get here in the US.
The Hai Karate brings up an interesting line of thought. Are aftershaves really necessary or worth it now? Do they still have a place? If they still have their place which are the best ones?
This was a great year for new designer releases in my opinion. Where did you get ahold of a bottle of Uomo Signature for a decent price? I can't find it on any discounters yet.
Arabesque sounds like it is similar with Boclet Tobacco. I thought Lacoste L'homme has Plum or was it the Intense version? Was impressed when I tested Uomo Signature except that it won't get much wear in the type of weather here. Waiting for the time to finally sniff any Fort & Manle. Tried a few IAs but they I find them too much on the artistic side. Sundrunk might change this perception. Favourite 2018 pickups: STH Extreme, Ursa, Interlude, the Layton twins, French Leather, French Lover, Naxos, Archetipo, Memoir Man, Oud du Jour, Aventus (yes, finally a full bottle!), Oud & Bergamot, Emeraude Agar, BR 540 (actually a gift for the Wife 😉), LDDM, Remarkable People, The One Grey. I'm sure I missed a couple more = )
Ash, this was my first year liking and buying frags. I ended up with about 20 this year. I'd say my favorites are: Dunhill icon, Bentley intense for men, BVLGARI aqua amara, Armaf Ventana, shades blue evoke, and pure malt.
I live very close to Labelle perfumes and have bought quite a few from them. They have really good deals and many of their fragrances aren't listed on the website.
Looking forward to your review of the L’Eau Super Majeure D’Issey. I got that one from the UK just before Christmas, but I can’t find any reviews on it. I absolutely ❤️❤️❤️ Prada Luna Rossa Black! Givenchy Gentleman EDP is nice also.
I'm a huge wong kar Wai fan myself. Got the opportunity to watch in the mood for love on the big screen in Lincoln center (nyc) last winter. Watched lee chang dong's "burning" in the same theater incidentally. I think that movies right up your alley. It's findable online but if you can't find it hit me up. Lastly, you watch the wailing yet? Haha.
Halston Z-12 and Z-14 Paco Rabanne Homme Aramis Pierre Cardin Zizanie, was said to be Frank Sinatra signature scent ....... old school never gets old .
danebengeschissen Ashton made a three or four part video going through them all. You can probably find them in his videos. It’s been awhile; so he probably has even more now.
You should try forward shipping from EU it'll come out cheaper than just ordering from alot of the websites that like to overcharge on the shipping I suggest trying that
Ash can I ask for your take on Baccarat rouge 540? I searched your videos bc I see it behind you on your shelf (I think) ... I'm trying to decide btwn it or musc ravageur
Luna Rosa Black isn't "all tonka, all amber" because like you said yourself it smells like Luna Rosa Sport, which is all Lavender, and that smell carries through PRIMARILY in Black.
Gotta go Gangsta on this one, Cuz was beatin them hoes up off him after applying that Hai Karate Oriental Lime 😳😂😂😂....I need to order that now, high price no problem!!! Side note, need to cop Givency Gentleman asap! Favorite pick ups have to be Nio by Xerjoff, Oud & Bergamot by Jo Malone, Eau de NY by Bond and 3 of the Zegna Essenze line, Italian Bergamot, Sicilian Mandarin and Mediterranean Neroli.
No way that hai karate is real 😂 I really need to get back into designers , overlooked most of them last year. my top picks up this year were sospiro erba pura , art&gold by roman molvizar. I'll be cheeky and add xerjoff richwood , i technically bought it last year and it'll be here before my birthday this week 🙏
interesting that people keep saying that givenchy gentleman edp is good... didnt smell better than dior homme, dior homme intense, valentino uomo intense or prada lhomme intense to me atleast and drydown was quite bad couldnt stand it at all. also dont get the hype around prada black
i always thought that was a joke ... i was still a kid when i first saw a bottle of Hay Karate on my friends fridge ( his brother was much older than us)
I clicked "place ads in suggested spots" or whatever the selection is in RUclips. Apparently that means all the ads in all the spots. I'll check and see about adjusting manually.

What’s the performance (projection and longevity) numbers on this one
Do you ever get the uncontrollable fear that your fragrance shelf is just gonna collapse under the weight out of nowhere?
That would suck but I don't have that fear...yet.
Me being as paranoid as I am, I'd probably keep them all on the same height level on multiple different shelves.
😂 I've had that fear before.
Hope theres an earthquake just big enough to make em fall but not hurt you........
Lol jk
I don't think there's nearly enough weight for that to happen
how do you keep your shelf clean of dust or what do you do to maintain your collection
What a haul! I limit myself to one bottle every three months, so I live vicariously through your and other videos :) The second hand excitement is palpable :)
Great list and I enjoyed it and I like prada black and givenchy gentlemen only and I'm gonna try the other fragrances and have a blessed day happy New Year to you and your family
Oh my, a reference to Wong Kar-Wai in a fragrance video, I love it. Which makes me realize that I miss In the mood for love so much.
Great video! Love that you threw some Hai Karate AS in there. You should do a top AS video. Get your old school scents in there...Hai Karate, Pinaud, Old Spice, etc. Would love to see that!
Looking forward to the "Givenchy Gentleman EDP vs Valentino Uomo Intense vs Prada Prada L'Homme Intense" video!
+1
Prada Luna Rossa Black is Identical to Polo Black & Double Black
Hi Ash, great video as always. My favourite pickups from last year are, Drakkar Noir, Krizia Uomo, Guerlain L'Eau Boisee and ADP Colonia Essenza.
Great video. Love Hai Karate. Flankers? No way...lucky duck! :-) so glad to see someone else who has eclectic tastes (Missoni-oh fuck yes!, FERRE? You go boy!!) and a sarcastic streak.

Gonna need some Imaginary Authors videos in the new year esp since you have so many of their scents

Thanks
GG EDP is my favorite designer pick up this year.
Next is Ombre Leather
Artisan Pure is 3rd
pls make a Old school generation frag list, but still get lots of appreciation compliment , tks A
This was a great year for new designer releases in my opinion. Where did you get ahold of a bottle of Uomo Signature for a decent price? I can't find it on any discounters yet.
That hai karate commercial 😂😂 great video bud. Happy and healthy new year to you and your family.
holy crap. I forgot all about hai karate until you pulled out the bottles. If i remember right, they also came out in tall opaque rectangular bottles.

Your reviews are the best man. Definitely rock the gi from here on in..
I live very close to Labelle perfumes and have bought quite a few from them. They have really good deals and many of their fragrances aren't listed on the website.
Hey ash, is that xerjoff on your shelf? If so what is you're fav from the house..
Do 1 on the old discontinued Lucky You
That commercial is everything to me now. I need these.
Love that asian cinema note
By the way did you watch any of takeshi ketano movies , fireworks for example
Looking forward to your review of the L’Eau Super Majeure D’Issey. I got that one from the UK just before Christmas, but I can’t find any reviews on it.
I absolutely ❤️❤️❤️ Prada Luna Rossa Black! Givenchy Gentleman EDP is nice also.
Have you tried perfect oud from Mizensir? It's pure quality in a bottle
I'm a huge wong kar Wai fan myself. Got the opportunity to watch in the mood for love on the big screen in Lincoln center (nyc) last winter.

The performance of Luna rossa black is good?
Nice review. Happy new year bro 🌟
Thanks 😉
Great video, as usual. I’ve been eyeing those Merchant of Venice releases. I would love an overview of the brand, even if they’re tough to find.
What do you think about pure malt? Cuz i really like it alot..it smells seductive..
It's really good
👍👍👍👍 It's even better than Hai Karate!
Ashton, love to see Hai Karate vs Jade East 😊
What about Diesel, Replay, Pull&Bear frag???
Maybe just Diesel and Replay old and new edts!
Please do a ranking with the Gentleman EDP, DHI and VUI
Halston Z-12 and Z-14
Paco Rabanne Homme
Aramis
Pierre Cardin
Zizanie, was said to be Frank Sinatra signature scent ....... old school never gets old .
How about a video of your top 8 Imaginary Authors fragrances? They sell sample set of 8 so it would help with buying a sample set.
Great video! If I had to pick out my best purchase of 2018 then it's definitely Ferragamo's Uomo.
Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood for Love, I believe, is his best work.
for real tho....do that video with the Gi and the Hai Karate.....
Well, Hi Karate was Elvis Presley's favorite fragrance along with Brut.:) Nice video!
I think you did an unboxing for vtg Old Night Spice!
Fun video! I like the unboxing. I’m jonesing to order something! Lol
Yesssss!!!! Jealousy is not a good look for me. That being said I wear it well. Yet another good video.
Nice pick ups! Really wanna see that ranking of VUI, DHI and GG edp... for me it's VVU, GG, DHI.
How is the dhi smell? Is it leaning towards feminine?
@@Jackdudu I wouldn't say feminine, it just doesn't gel with me.. Much prefer GG and VUI
Didnt you buy lucky and lacoste lhomme intense?
bvlgari black in men essence, how was it?
full review if possible
May I ask how big your collection is?
danebengeschissen
Ashton made a three or four part video going through them all. You can probably find them in his videos. It’s been awhile; so he probably has even more now.
What to you think how many did he have back then?
The video says 1000+.
I don’t think he said the actual total was.
ruclips.net/video/CvfPubSGloo/видео.html
That’s the link to the first video. The first video was February 2018.
WKW and In the Mood For Love, yes! As a fellow fan, my respect for you just jumped up real high 😬
I think it was throughout 2016 that I wore David Beckham pure instinct, loved it.
You should try forward shipping from EU it'll come out cheaper than just ordering from alot of the websites that like to overcharge on the shipping I suggest trying that
Love the Hai Karate!!! 😂😂
I never thought I would see Hai Karate as a fragrance review must have. lol
I love myself some super fragrances
How many fragrances do you have??
10 so he's just started making top ten lists. Before they were top 9 and top 8 lists. Not that exciting
Never sure if that wall behind is stock footage.
Ash can I ask for your take on Baccarat rouge 540? I searched your videos bc I see it behind you on your shelf (I think) ... I'm trying to decide btwn it or musc ravageur
Swiss arabian Oud Abyad my top 1 of 2018
My Luna Rossa Black is on its way. Yes!
Am I the only one to smell fig in it? (though not on the notes list)
HaHaHa ! OMG tooo funny . . . I remember that lime in Hi Karate . . . very strong . . . everybody wore it !!
Thanks for sharing . . . .
1) GENTLEMEN EPD
2)BVLGARI MAN IN BLACK ESSENCE
3)LOEWE 7
4)GUERLAIN SANTAL ROYAL
5)CREED ROYAL OUD.....
yeah, I'd also like to see Prada L'Homme Intense.
DHI vs VUI vs GG vs PLI would be awesome)
Them old samurai films are classics
As a Chinese viewer I'm honestly pleasantly surprised at your confession with regards to Chinese films. Cheers
Have you seen Train to Busan? That movie was actually pretty good.
what discounter can you get gentleman givenchy from?
I want the Luna Black but I want it from Fragrance Net and it's not available there 😭(I still clicked the link to help you out).
That Hai Karate review would be the greatest thing in fragcom.
Doooooo it! 🥋
Ash we need another ''reacting to Redolessence & Brooklyn Fragrance Lover'' video, laughed too much watching the last one
I second that. It was truly hilarious
I third that. It was bloody brilliant. I'd love you to react to some UK reviewers too like UK frag guy and frag-mental.
KEEP IT BRO
Luna Rosa Black isn't "all tonka, all amber" because like you said yourself it smells like Luna Rosa Sport, which is all Lavender, and that smell carries through PRIMARILY in Black.
Dry down of Luna rossa black is a bit underwhelming :/
Hai Karate was my first scent when I was a kid and it was leith cheap as much as I can remember maybe like 1989 it was about £10 😂
Can anyone recommend a Turkish delight smelling fragrance anyone?
Closest I've found is Goldfield and Banks White Sandalwood, has a nice turkish rose note
What’s a good discounter you all recommend?
Mike R I have used fragrance net numerous times. Not bad shipping and customer service
Hai ya
How do you know what you get off eBay is real
Sun drunk is amazing. One good thing is I can wear it year round down here in FL
one of my favorite pick-ups: john varvatos artisan pure
Good stuff...
6:27 don't forget you have subscribers in Europe. Shipping is not an issue for us :)
OMG High KARATE!!! You're this best man Lol!
high karate commercials were gangsta rofl.
Hai.
"In the not too distant future"? Perhaps next Sunday, A.D.?
Gotta go Gangsta on this one, Cuz was beatin them hoes up off him after applying that Hai Karate Oriental Lime 😳😂😂😂....I need to order that now, high price no problem!!! Side note, need to cop Givency Gentleman asap! Favorite pick ups have to be Nio by Xerjoff, Oud & Bergamot by Jo Malone, Eau de NY by Bond and 3 of the Zegna Essenze line, Italian Bergamot, Sicilian Mandarin and Mediterranean Neroli.
@Batphink Reynolds Chad, Cuba, Gangsta? 😂😂😂🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
No way that hai karate is real 😂
I really need to get back into designers , overlooked most of them last year.
my top picks up this year were sospiro erba pura , art&gold by roman molvizar.
I'll be cheeky and add xerjoff richwood , i technically bought it last year and it'll be here before my birthday this week 🙏
I really need to stop sharting myself.
interesting that people keep saying that givenchy gentleman edp is good... didnt smell better than dior homme, dior homme intense, valentino uomo intense or prada lhomme intense to me atleast and drydown was quite bad couldnt stand it at all. also dont get the hype around prada black
OMG! HAI KARATE!
Can anybody explain me the word NICHE
Niche????
👍
i always thought that was a joke ... i was still a kid when i first saw a bottle of Hay Karate on my friends fridge ( his brother was much older than us)
super major dc
So I know you loved the movie THE RAID & THE RAID 2.
Automatic 👍🏼 gang
the pada black is a skin scent after 30min on me!
I want to know why I’m getting 4 ads from this video. That’s bullshit. Good video!
I clicked "place ads in suggested spots" or whatever the selection is in RUclips. Apparently that means all the ads in all the spots. I'll check and see about adjusting manually.
Favorite runny nose of 2019 ;)
HAI KARATE!
