I just bought Defy Parfum! Is pretty good. 200ML for 49.99$ at Burlington. I heard too many you tubers saying the negatives and saying that is synthetic and not worth buying! But I personally like it !
Another no nonsense straight up review I like how you aren't biased towards only the mainstream big house scents and give your honest opinion on the lower price frags that others don't even mention let alone actually try a top 10 of 30 dollar and under fragrances would be great for those on a budget that still want to smell good because not everyone can afford for example Sauvage Elixir
I really enjoy these haul/first impression videos. Not only do we get to hear about the fragrances we all see in the rack stores, but I like to see how close u get on notes
Burlington's around me have some great finds, but I don't have 25 minutes to wait in line. It's untolerable. They're not so bad in the farther-out hinterlands. Last good find was Banana Republic Linen Vetiver and some Ariana Grande Cloude body spray 🙂
Yeah I have one close to where I work and try to get over on lunch breaks but there are many times I just see the line and bail. It was surprisingly quiet at lunch time today and was able to pick up the CK Defy EDP 100 ml for $39.99.
Nice pick ups. Stopped at my local TJ Maxx and wow, are their prices out of control. Must be holiday pricing, they were so much higher than discounters on everything. Missoni Pour Homme Parfum was $59.99 for a 1.7 oz
Missoni pricing is out of whack everywhere for some reason. They should be $31.99, but some stores have them $59.99 or higher. My Marshall's had 3 Waves on the shelf, same size, two were $59.99 and the third was $31.99.
Great review. I saw both of these at burlington and thought about grabbing both of them. They had so much it was crazy. The usual wall for fragrance then 4 more tables full. Lol
Just purchased 100ml with 30 ml box set Calvin Klein Defy for $12.00 clearance at TJ Maxx. It was marked down and down and down lol. Surprised I got it for that price honestly :) I also picked up Perry Ellis 360 original 50 ml with 200 ml body wash for $4 :)
Seen Defy, the EDT and EDP, at Burlington and Marshalls. Hesitated to get it but now I'm ready to pull the trigger on getting it. I'll roll with the EDP. Also will pick up the new CK Summer in the orange box.
Just picked up Defy EDP. Luckily Burlington had just one left. Pleasant opening, sweet and peppery. Dry down is a light scent to me heavy on vetiver. Overall for the price I am happy with this. Sadly there were no CK One Summer 2022 in the orange boxes yet unless they were all snatched up already.
@@chrislebon5927 personally I think it’s pretty good I’d say about 4 sprays gets u 6 hours but it has a nice linger on your clothes . I would recommend no one smells like that get the EDP THO
@@Getstr8cash I agree but defy parfum is the best I never wanted any Calvin frags but I smelled that one n was like yoooo shit actually lasts I’m not gonna lie to y’all on here n waste ur money test it at macys see if u like it first , Tom ford is ighttttt tbh
I got some frags and got body wash as a gift. Was really amazed how this smells. I eill give it a go. And its CK. Btw, I am hooked on CK Euphoria. Its a light frag but for sead of summer... wow does it do wonders. Try it in this heat.
I recently purchased defy eau de toilette i love it to me smell really good I have to try the perfume version, I also recommend cr7 game on is really good I think you going to like it, have a good day brother take care
You know I won't be able to find the Defy edp now since you're touting it.😁. Have a sample of the edt and like it. Doesn't have the leather, opens with bergamot and lavender then vetiver then amber.
It seems all reviewers always choose EDP over EDT. Personally I prefer D&G the one EDT over EDP. Could you please do a video on EDT concentrations you prefer over their EDP/Parfum counterparts?
The One EDP is smoother but like you I prefer the EDT's scent profile. The EDT performs well for me as people can smell it on me hours after application.
@@brucereynolds1161 Agreed. IMO the one EDT is fresher which makes it more versatile year-round compared to the EDP. Neither have great longevity so I just reapply as needed.
Could the Defy EDP be unisex since you mentioned a sweetness to it? I lean towards mens or unisex frags since my body warms them up and women’s perfumes turn too sweet on me. I live in Alabama and everything feminine turned too cloying on me.
Bought a 6.7 oz bottle of Defy from TJ Maxx on clearance and it has a note that gives me a headache. I've smelled it in other colognes before and wish I knew what the note was because I can't stand it. Maybe the black pepper? It does not smell fresh at all to me.
@@cjay1964 it's easily worth the $15. Signature is better though. But they're also sorta similar. Kinda like Icon is for Summer and Signature is for Winter. Icon has a similarity with Mancera Bengal Oud
Saw the eau de toilette version at marshalls last night for the same $39 price tag, but in a 1.7 bottle....I recently bought the Parfum version at Burlington and it's ok....I think I like the toilette version better personally
I picked up a bottle of Ted Lapidus, excellent aroma and an Armarf fragrance Oud Al Layl wonderful juice..pour Homme Ted Lap ,got Armarf hunter too great recommendation very nice..thanks
Just picked up defy edp for 32$ for 100ml best calvin klein fragrance i have ever smelled. Not dissapointed at all. Beginners leather since its the only leather based fragrance ive smelled other than ben sherman signature. This is way better than that 😂😂😂
I think CK DEFY is in my top 3 favorite impulse Rack store grabs of all time. I wore it for last 3-4 days to work straight. I like a rotation of maybe 10 per season. per mood, cause I like buying stuff. It's addicting but $35 for a smaller bottle....Worth it. I normally can't do leather like in Ombre Ford etc...This is a wearable leather frag, call it generic, but it is the perfect do it all signtature scent type. Dolce K EDP is a signature scent type cause it's different than all the rest on the market. That's why these 2 do not get the love, plus bad past releases......Zegna Uomo still my favorite rack store find, special frag to me, #2 would be Polo Blue & Polo Deep Ocean, same frag basically. Reg polo more versatile. Polo gets overlooked.
Thanks for another great review Ross. I saw the CK Defy at my TJMAXX too but decided to go with the Toy Boy gift set. It’s a rarity to see this so I couldn’t pass it up. Also picked up a Korres Saffron Tobacco for $12. 👍🏽Ever heard of it?
Bro, great video. But next time you’re in Burlington try Jean Marc Paris Home Noir, I really think you’ll like it. If you haven’t tried it all already. #StepBrothers
I just can't buy that CR& Bottle, I am sure it is worth the $20 especially if you are a fan of Ronaldo.....Good cheapies under $20 been hard to find these days, used to be easier...Inflation cause new releases show up at rack stores in Florida quick. Macy's Backstage....Find some steals. Diesel Bad $20, All Dunhill frags cheap, new....Jaguar, some newer celeb frags, perry ellis and Polo...never know, like Nordstrom Rack but cheaper.....Nordstrom rack has Gucci Guilty Green the cologne version, Carbon, all Polo, Chromes, YSL Y, azzaro and coach type stuff..Givenhy....Been spending stupid money.

Great haul! I Found Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo at my local Burlington last night for $40
Ahhhh are you in Texas? I also found uomo at my Burlington but I had to turn it down I hope we’re not talking about the same Burlington
@@codyburgett7962 Yes I'm in Texas! It's the same Burlington and I'm glad I picked it up its really good for $40

Hello Ross, how are you? I'm digging the video and first impressions. I have passed CK Defy several times but now I will check it out. Stay safe

Gotta keep an eye out for this one at my local rack stores. Thanks for the review!
Dude I found an 8oz Polo Cologne Intense at Ross the other day for $50 😳 Super nice dumb reach and the price absolutely can not be beat.
How does it smell? I've been hesitant on buying it. I've seen them around. And what's the longevity?
@@mohammed242 Smells safe, green, and slightly citrusy. Performance is mediocre but you can spray away with that 8oz bottle for cheap!
Just picked this up today! 100ML, $50! Loving this scent so far.
Great review. I saw both of these at burlington and thought about grabbing both of them. They had so much it was crazy. The usual wall for fragrance then 4 more tables full. Lol
Same here!! But after the holidays it's gonna thin out like a Texans home game!

Love these videos nice hail you got man! You should do a top 5 of the best fragrances you’ve picked up from rack stores 😁
Banana republic vintage green 78 is actually really good.

The Defy EDT is my favourite. Will try the Parfum version.
Nice video as always! The music at the beginning reminded me of a Nintendo 64 game lol
Lol. Sounded like sim city to me! I wonder if ross did that on purpose to see a reaction? 😋
Great haul video and I enjoyed it and can you do full reviews when you test them out and have a blessed day
Maaan I'm waiting on the CK One Summer Daze to hit MY rack stores!!
I think I'm going to hunt down the CK Defy edp. Sounds like something I will enjoy.
Ok....I will give Defy EDP a test @ macy's counter. Sounds pretty good.
what happened to the curve cologne?
Defy edt opening is similar to ysl edt but the dry down goes in a different direction. I need to try the edp.
The pepper mixed with vetiver will smell smoky.
I have that blue CR7 and keep it in my gym bag. Makes a good gym or after shower frag..I get lots of tonka from it
Great Haul! I would of loved to hear your opinion on the Curve Forest Wood. Do men still wear Curve?
I'm sure some do
Good hunts 👍
Need to get Sauvage Dior. So which concentration would you recommend.. Iam 35 years .
Are most Banana Republic fragrances good? I noticed that you actually thumbed up all of them in the video
The 4 I have are solid. Not beasts but good buys.
Black Walnut Legend isn't worth it IMO. Very weak performance and scent.
Tobacco and Tonka Bean is awesome!!
I have 4 and they are excellent.
Guess Seductive Homme edt is a good bang for buck fragrance smells good to i get compliments all the time wearing it out.
Defy edp came out like 3 months ago that's the reason why I told u to hit the Burlington to grab the defy

I just got a Defy Set with Edp 3.3oz and Edt 1.0oz for only $20.00 at Clearance (Marshalls) 🎉
Hey Ross your buddy at kingdom has 3 new Afnan releases they are extraits any chance you might review them?
Found SF Uomo Signature 30ml at Burlingtons for $20 and gifting it to my bro for Christmas.
Hello this is Latonya love your Channel I am always watching your videos
NIce vid man!
Could the Defy EDP be unisex since you mentioned a sweetness to it? I lean towards mens or unisex frags since my body warms them up and women’s perfumes turn too sweet on me. I live in Alabama and everything feminine turned too cloying on me.
I’m gonna head out to check my rack stores, they’ve literally had nothing all damn year, but maybe for the holidays they’ll get a thing or 2 in.
Oh yes! Marshalls and Burlington are stocked up real nice!!!
Bought a 6.7 oz bottle of Defy from TJ Maxx on clearance and it has a note that gives me a headache. I've smelled it in other colognes before and wish I knew what the note was because I can't stand it. Maybe the black pepper? It does not smell fresh at all to me.
Just realized mine is the EDT not EDP. I see people comparing it to YSL Y so I'm glad I never spent the money on Y if they are similar.
Calvin Klein EDT is much brighter citrus, I personally would skip it. The EDP is the winner hands down. I bought both and only use the EDP
I have the Defy Defy EDT and may be in the minority, but I like it.
Got a sample of the edt with other samples and I like it too. Hope to find the edp out there to try.
@@jimmoberly308 edt to me is better....but the parfum is worth getting....but I enjoy the edt a whole lot more
I own the edt as well. It’s one of my favs. Safe, clean and fresh smell
Just bought CK Defy edp yesterday and felt the same about it. Love these videos! Thanks!
Should have grabbed that OP black. Smells like YSL LNDL on the opening then dries to its own thing. It's a great scent for the price.
Can you do a full review of defy edp?
I liked the defy EDP version
If you have a chance,get your nose on CALAJ Perfumes Urushi!! It’s definitely on point
The stores was pushing that CK earlier this year !! The line up is 6- 7 rating
I get a strong leather orange from montblanc explorer, similar?
Hopefully you haven't missed your chance to pick up Ben Sherman Icon and Signature. Best $25 you can spend on fragrances.
I was looking at Icon just last night!!!
@@cjay1964 it's easily worth the $15. Signature is better though. But they're also sorta similar. Kinda like Icon is for Summer and Signature is for Winter. Icon has a similarity with Mancera Bengal Oud
Saw the eau de toilette version at marshalls last night for the same $39 price tag, but in a 1.7 bottle....I recently bought the Parfum version at Burlington and it's ok....I think I like the toilette version better personally
Hey ross the best one in the cristiano ronaldo fragrances imo is legacy private edition
I picked up a bottle of Ted Lapidus, excellent aroma and an Armarf fragrance Oud Al Layl wonderful juice..pour Homme Ted Lap ,got Armarf hunter too great recommendation very nice..thanks
Just picked up defy edp for 32$ for 100ml best calvin klein fragrance i have ever smelled. Not dissapointed at all. Beginners leather since its the only leather based fragrance ive smelled other than ben sherman signature. This is way better than that 😂😂😂
I just picked up the OG Aqua Essenziale. Do you have all 3? I want colonia next
I sure do
How long does it last?

I tought u picked up that curve was curious how that one smelled 😜.. I might check out that defy once the price goes down
Play it cool sounds like something I might wear to the gym. Now I need a gym membership lol
Hey Ross that background music was giving Nintendo pause screen
Boy, i stay in this aisle 😂
Ps, the "doogie howser" beat, is jammin.
'83
At fragrantica, the Defy is compared to the Replica Sailing Day.
I find that very odd
Ck defy to me smells like La nuit D’lhomme but the dry down changes
CK defy 100 ml EDP 40$ waaaaaaaaaaw only in USA!!!
damn someone made 🔥🔥 on the track
All the other c rinaldo are excellent
Ross, Defy EDT kind of smells like Y EDP.
Nice haul love the video Ross stay motivated dream big 1 mill on the way 👌
Our Burlington is very disappointing. No defy no cr7 no oud mosaic which I been looking for forever.
