Not in a million years am I going to justify the price tag for that Carolina Herrera while I can get a gem like Red Tobacco for about $80. Who cares about the opening when it only lasts no more than 10 minutes. ( I actually love the opening)
Mancera Red Tobacco in the UK is about £100, which is like 120 USD. Notino sells it for £111 for example. Why is the weird premium even existing ?! Especially when you know that Mancera is a French based brand and it’s a neighbouring country 🤬
Solid list. I’m gonna be ripping into Diors Tobacolor once the heat in AZ starts dying down. Just got back into the U.S. from my long vacation in Vietnam so I’ve been letting that bottle sit for more than a year now 😩
@@patrickstar7693 Very true. For me, anything over $150 is pushing it, but I'm sure it's like that for a lot us. In the end, we're all not exactly made of money, I'm sorry to say. 😞
Decants usually does it for me and if one really becomes my go-to I would make the splurge for a full bottle. But I haven't come across a frag like that in a while though.
I'm really looking forward to this fall because its the first time I feel comfortable wearing some richer scents. Taste evolves: Maison Margiela - Jazz Club, Tom Ford - Ombre Leather, John Varvatos - Dark Rebel & my Haltane Decant. The latter is awesome!
I know jazz club gets a lot of love but couldn’t get myself to like it. Ombre Leather however I have and love, as well as the Parfum. I’ve actually wore them in the summer too and they were great as long as it wasn’t 100°. But I think it will be even better in the Fall 🤙
Check Tobacco Rush by afnan People said it’s between the two Tobacco Oud by tom ford Mystery Tobacco by CH Hope u can review it soon Wanna hear your thoughts about it
The first time I smelled Haltane I was wearing Oud For Greatness. I immediately started laughing because the two are SO similar. Both great. I feel as though having both might be redundant tho.
Curious; The tobacco scent that never happened, where does the Galleria Parfums "Victorian Tobacco" fit into this? VT was the first of the three Galleria scents that I purchased, the other two being "Dream Woods," and "By The Yuzu Grove." I'd really like to see you discuss these more because I thought you had a pretty solid lineup, and they are still available. I guess there must have been some parting of ways, but these still stand out in my collection, and whatever your business status is, these lend superior credibility to you as a fragrance influencer.
It almost was the tobacco scent that never happened! Its definitely different that Victorian Tobacco. Tobacco Royal is more wearable and sweetened up a bit.
Waiting for my bottle of Haltane (went thru 3 samples) and am DEFINITELY getting the Carolina Herrera Mystery Tobacco. Star Light, Carved Oud and a new bottle of Side Effect in the next order after that. Need to restock some of my cool weather frags.
From you font of knowledge have you got any suggestions for anything similar to Marc jacobs bang just used my last bit and can’t get it any where in uk 🇬🇧 😂😂
Thameen Carved Oud is the biggest flop of all time. Weakest extrait ever made and barely smells like oud wood. Better yet you can barely smell it at all just like the current watered down oud wood.
Is it me or is Dior also going for Niche status with their Sauvage Elixir? 100 ml costs 210 euros if you buy retail I was able to cop it for a promo price of 145 euros from a french website (been searching for months)
I too have been keeping my eyes peeled for that one. L'eau D'issey Pour Homme was my favorite in my 8th grade- high school years 98 to 03. I was lucky enough to own the original formation which IMO the yuzu and whole scent in general had a slightly better, more unique scent profile. So I'm curious to see any yuzu based frags,, especially Mancera.
I love Mancera/Montale and it was my first and only niche houses starting with Cedrat Boise and now I have 15 bottles from them with Cedrat Boise Intense just shipped. 😊
I have Layton and it’s amazing. I also have Pegasus Exclusif and it’s incredible! I’ve heard the drydown of PE and LE are similar and possibly redundant. I haven’t smelled LE yet though. There’s my argument 😂
Whereabouts in the US are you from, Ash? I'm off to Slovakia in a couple of weeks and my autumn scent is going to be Russian Leather by Memo. If I'm asked what I'm wearing I'll be be telling them Ukrainian Leather.
I need to smell Haltane again. I considered it while looking at a PdM fall scent, but Pegasus Exclusif won.. I picked up PE and Carlisle. But now that I have those Haltane is back on the list to smell again haha Also, Starlight is high in my list to try! Just got Naxos and Zefiro and really like them both!
I used to smoke marboro light cigarrette, and i miss the smell of fresh opened pack of unburnt cigarrette in the box... do you know a fragrance that resembles that? Or something that is better but still reminds you of this fresh cig?
I hope we get a fall this year ,thats why I hesitate buying strong frags even though I love them .,its still 90 here in SC.I always like 1 mil.prive for fall Carlisle for fall ,I do desire a nice tabacco scent other than the one edp
I’ll be wearing Ganymede, Incident Diplomatique, OG Spicebomb and Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme. Actually I have a bunch of stuff that I could wear but Ganymede is the one I’m probably looking forward to wearing the most.
Late Harvest is one I thoroughly enjoy. It's definitely tobacco heavy as it reminds me of my cigar lounge when I'm not there, although I think it's closer to pipe tobacco than cigar tobacco. Great fragrance.
Hi ash. Between African Leather and Starlight, whats the better cardamom fragrance? :) Also, A Midsummer Dream is indeed an awesome fall scent even if the Brand considers it a freshie
Tough one, I like them both a lot. Starlight is more "sparkly" African leather is a little more warm sweet. Honestly it would probably be equal for me.
@@GentsScents thank you so much for replying. I tried voyage d hermes but its cardamom note is more on the green side. I do want a fragrance that smells like of LNDL's cardamom but from a niche house. Your reply helps me a lot. Id probably go for African Leather then :)
You're probably just mad because you can't afford any of them.. 😂 PDM makes some bangers! Layton, Pegasus Exclusif and Carlisle ring a bell? Oh yeah, Haltane. 🥴
Me : "ooooooh a top 10 niche fragrances for Fall list from Gents Scents, nice."
My wallet : "Noooooooo!"
lol

Nice!
While I'm sure most of these niche fragrances are decent, don't think I could ever justify the prices for some of them.
yea when it goes over the 200$ mark, you really have to think it trough. However, i hardly ever regreted it

Haltane is slowly becoming one of my top 5 favorite fragrances in my collection and my overall favorite from PDM.
Check Tobacco Rush by afnan
People said it’s between the two
Tobacco Oud by tom ford
Mystery Tobacco by CH
Hope u can review it soon
Wanna hear your thoughts about it
My No.1 this fall is Amouage Opus XIV Royal Tobacco. You've really gotta get your nose on this one, if you haven't already.
The first time I smelled Haltane I was wearing Oud For Greatness. I immediately started laughing because the two are SO similar. Both great. I feel as though having both might be redundant tho.
Which one you like better???
Curious; The tobacco scent that never happened, where does the Galleria Parfums "Victorian Tobacco" fit into this?

PDM couldn’t package Haltane in a 50 ml bottle? Come on!
I know, right? I settled with a decant but I really like it....Still not buying a full bottle though.
Just got a sample of Tobacco Royal... WOW! Didn't know you had a hand in it.

Tom ford tobacco oud … this is a must for a winter fall
Haltane has one of the ugliest bottles of all PDM.. That Gold one takes the cake though
Amber Kiso D. S. & DURGA😍 THANK YOU
When does Fabulous Yuzu from Mancera come out Ash? I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

How many different tobaccos can you wear?
Do you have a fall fragrances for the office video?
I only have 1 niche fragrance in my collection, and guess what that is? Mancera Cedrat Boise
I need more nicheeee! 😭
I love Mancera/Montale and it was my first and only niche houses starting with Cedrat Boise and now I have 15 bottles from them with Cedrat Boise Intense just shipped. 😊
@@fragitude I feel like this is most people first niche fragrance tbh
Thats a great first niche though
@@GentsScents It is. I really enjoy it
Ash when will you start doing livestreams I think that would be a great idea we can ask questions in realtime 😊
Soon!
Layton Exclusif is literally the best colder weather frag, no arguments will be accepted.
I have Layton and it’s amazing. I also have Pegasus Exclusif and it’s incredible! I’ve heard the drydown of PE and LE are similar and possibly redundant. I haven’t smelled LE yet though.
There’s my argument 😂
Give the people what they want, man. Pull back the curtain on Navitus/Galleria/Hayan Merchant. You'll get a lot of respect and views.
Widian London is AMAZING
Whereabouts in the US are you from, Ash? I'm off to Slovakia in a couple of weeks and my autumn scent is going to be Russian Leather by Memo. If I'm asked what I'm wearing I'll be be telling them Ukrainian Leather.
I am not sure he will see this, but I may be wrong...I think he is in Tennessee.
@@tbiz8459 Thanks for that.
Yes TN.
Best smelling state in the United States: The Volunteer State
@@GentsScents Cheers from Nottingham, U.K.
Is that Widian London or New York? Your graphics show NY
Its supposed to be London
I bought Dior homme parfum, Dior Fahrenheit parfum, and plum japonais for this fall. I know they’re not niche but the quality is awesome!
Fall: Tom Ford Black Orchid.......CH Prive.....Harraman oude 36..........Layton....Pegasus
Dior Sauvage Very Cool Spray seems to be discontinued unfortunately FYI
🤣🤣
Day 31 of asking Ash to review Milton Lloyd fragrances
Well well well, tobacco Royal has become one of my favorite fragrances period, Nice work!!
Why did you hold up a bottle of widian New York? I thought you said it was London?
Nice to finally see a list without one fragrance an average guy could afford....
Looking forward to sampling the Thameen carved oud👍
I've thought the green behind you was Haltane, unless you have more than 1🙂
All you need is PDM Herod. Pure perfection. Period. Cheerio.
for me haltane is very very similar to oud for greatness Just a bit more mass appealing
I thought you completely ripped scentsplit???
Enjoyed the list, be safe and BLESSED
I need to sample starlight & carved Oud
I need to smell Haltane again. I considered it while looking at a PdM fall scent, but Pegasus Exclusif won.. I picked up PE and Carlisle. But now that I have those Haltane is back on the list to smell again haha
Also, Starlight is high in my list to try! Just got Naxos and Zefiro and really like them both!
Wow that escalated quickly, just ordered Haltane 😂
sporting Viking and Kalan this autumn
Nice list! You're gonna love Carved Oud and you're gonna be glad that you picked it up
Great to see an old brief finally come to life! My eyes light up whenever I see green juice. 😍
Vilhelm black citrus is 🔥🔥🔥
The fort and mantle sounds most intriguing.
Widian London is actually my SOTD. I bought it and Thameen Carved oud after your review. And both are terrific.
Solid!
I used to smoke marboro light cigarrette, and i miss the smell of fresh opened pack of unburnt cigarrette in the box... do you know a fragrance that resembles that? Or something that is better but still reminds you of this fresh cig?
Versace the dreamer
I will 100% try tobacco royal. I’ve been wanting to try precious liquid for a while now! Hope it supports you if I buy it!
Hope you like it!!
I hope we get a fall this year ,thats why I hesitate buying strong frags even though I love them .,its still 90 here in SC.I always like 1 mil.prive for fall Carlisle for fall ,I do desire a nice tabacco scent other than the one edp
I guess you live in the more southern part of SC?
@@GentsScents outside Columbia, dead center no breeze its a humid armpit. Im from Chicago its a 360 here.
💯💯💯👍👍👍
I know I said this before but I really wish you'd talk about private designer fragrances
Such as TF’s private blends etc?
Is there much of that out there?
@@JaimetheNomad Like Chanel's, Dior's, YSL, Prada, and many other houses
Why I can't find Precious liquid tobacco royal on fragrantica ?
Richard probably didn't submit it to be on there
Trust me when I say buy the $140 sampler set and try Tobacco Royal, oud symphony, amber suede…. 110% worth the money
Showed a picture of Widian New York when speaking on Widian London 😜
Great list, Ash!
You are correct, wrong picture.
Ash, what’s the best way to try out niche fragrances?
Sample some from your preferred decant place. Scentsplit is mine.
@@GentsScents thanks man I appreciate the feedback! love your channel. best wishes!
I'm looking into busting my Gucci intense oud!
I'm nominating Mancera Aoud Exclusif into the list.
I’ll be wearing Ganymede, Incident Diplomatique, OG Spicebomb and Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme. Actually I have a bunch of stuff that I could wear but Ganymede is the one I’m probably looking forward to wearing the most.
Ganymede is dope
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
Thank you! You too!
