Encre Noir was actually one of the first fragrance in my collection and I loved it from the first sniff.
Same here, and it really smells like black ink
I bought Bentley for men intense as a blind buy. All i get are complements, and get asked what fragrance do you have on today. A lot of people like it.
My blind buy mistake was wanted by night. Im still testing it but I'm not sold on it compared to it's flankers TMW. It's nice just too fruity for me. Before that I bought some cheapies at a rack store and those were also total mistakes. I rarely blind buy now and test things first unless it's really cheap and I don't mind it or just want to have the bottle.
Same fragrance for me ;-;
Funnily enough as a newbie to fragrances I love interlude especially the black iris flanker
That one in particular, to me, is not a safe blind buy AT ALL. Thankfully I only had a sample.
@@ThaFinestMusic I’m saving up for a full bottle. I’ve tried alts that are really close but I want the real deal too 😅
on the timeline of the video, the section for "Oud for Greatness" is marked as "Food for Greatness" =))) L M A O
wait, you don't eat your fragrances?
@@alexmurrell7197 noooo... who would do that?!!? you drink it
For BR540 it said Burrberry Rouge 540 😂😂😂
@@GeeMood well, Burberry has a br540 clone :))
Burberry 540 right on. Was Toy Boy bear 🐻 just there to keep you company. LOL Keep on doing what you do Ash as I can’t imagine coming up with new content in this hobby.
When you get more experienced with fragrances you learn what kind of notes you like/dislike the most and that makes it easier to blind buy fragrances. Myself for example, likes earthy tobacco, oriental spices kind of scents. I never smelled louis vuitton ombre nomade for example, but i do know if i want to, i can safely blind buy it. The notes give me a pretty accurate idea of how it would smell like.
I blind bought Wanted By Night. Unfortunately I get BO and potpourri. It is not beginner friendly.
it works great layered with other Fall fragrances (Azzaro The Most Wanted, Lattafa Khamrah, Boss Bottled Oud, Bvlgari Man In Black, etc.). Helps minimize the cumin/BO smell & offset it with other sweet/candy notes and stronger leather, tobacco, and woods.
Blind bought encre noir and wasnt disappointed. Its that dark vetiver but over the years my "taste" for fragrances had changed and i like it now. Got all encre noir flankers too except indigo. Blind bought azzaro wbn and certaintly enjoyed it. Probably I already know that I'm more into gourmand type of fragrances now. For some reason I'd take H24edt and Eau Givree any time any day of the day than Terre De Hermes. That one i sampled and didn't like it. If i have it, probably give it to my father. 😊
For some reason, I have not picked up Laliques Encre Noir yet! It’s been on my list forever!🤔
not a blind buy at all
I can agree since I own it that most will not like Bentley Intense. For me though it reminds me of all the times I went to the barber shop growing up and for that reason I actually like it because the scent is nostalgic to me. BUT it is not mass appealing and definitely not a date night scent, I only wear it for myself not to get compliments. The only time I'd wear it in a social setting is if I'm hanging with the boys, smoking a cigar while drinking a glass of whiskey, that kind of vibe.
Ash, the first fragrance I blind bought was Encre Noire at your suggestion 4 years ago when I began my fragrance journey. When first got it I did not like it at all. With time and as I experienced more fragrances I grew to love it and now its one of my favorites.
I blind bought Wanted By Night when it was on sale. I like it for the cold winter nights and holidays though almost unbearable for me through out the other 9 months.
With spring coming up can you compare some “Green” fragrances very interesting in seeing JPG Paradise garden vs PDM Greenly
Great video. So many if these were ones I either sampled first and was surprised or blind bought and regretted. Thought I'd love BR540 but it turns out that saffron is too strong for my liking.
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
Great video Ash! I actually love quite a few of these. However, I can see why they wouldn’t be safe blind buys. 🤘
I own Some of those fragrances, and I'm totally happy with them. I was at an airport recently and I had my Sniff to Dior Homme intense. I knew it. I feel I'm in Love more and more... It will be one of my next purchases!!! It's basically the Goat of Iris!!! Everyone can describe it in his own way, but it's just top 10 MUST HAVE/BUY!!! Terre d'hermes is not for everyone... I'll say it's for more experienced and sufisticated folks... Thanks for the video! But
Blind bought Encre Noir after my first 6 months, wow! Got everything else in that line within a month! Love that stuff. Although my first but was Savauge edp was my first and my second was Oud for Glory.
I blind bought Encre Noir as a fragrance noobie and it was love at the first smell
Same here but i bought the extreme flanker.
Afnan 9pm. Got it yesterday 5 spray sore head and made me feel sick...its beyond sweet, and its eternal 17 hours no lie. I even could smell it after my shower. Definitely not a blind buy. Honestly im lucky the seller is taking a return snd replacing it with 9 am Dive. Hopefully thats safer.
I Blind Bought wanted by night and I absolutely love that fragrance
DHI and DHP are right at the top of my favorites list!
I've blind bought most of my colognes. I really don't have much of a choice. Dillards, Macys, Sephora...Ulta, Cosmetics Co Store and finally, Perfumania are my choices to "try before I buy" options. Sadly, none of the aforementioned carry any niche, "hidden gem" designer frags and definitely other than Montblanc, no clones like Lattafa or Al-Haramain etc.
So Ash, I have blind bought nearly eeeeeeverything in my humble collection. I started, not really collecting but accumulating, in Nov '23 and I've used you, Omar from School of Scent, ATH (he's great), Monika Colognes, Justin Copeland and Marcello, the niche collector. You all are my main sources, but I trust you and I take a gamble and hope for the best. If anything, I've bought a super early Christmas or birthday gift for one of my brother :)
Thanks for everything though.
There are many of legit decant selling sites online to sample from.
I was surprised at how Detour Noir was not masculine and definitely unisex. Your description of Moschino reminded me of it.
I’m curious if there is a masculine tobacco scent I could pair with it to sort of blend them together. But honestly I haven’t found a clone of anything that blows me away. I’m almost convinced that I’m just wasting money and should cut my losses.
My designers are an obvious step up. I should probably just stick to those houses and price ranges.
insurrection ll wild. You will like. It is cheap. Works for layering or on it's own. (Ebay) less than 30$ Great tobacco.
Bentley and Encre are both designed by the same perfumer! She's probably my favorite perfumer overall. But I agree, they aren't instant buys and you should try them out first (If you can).
100% true with the Spicebomb. It's great frag in terms of quality and parameters, that's for sure, but I just can't stand it. It irritates my nose and I have to wash it off asap. I tested all the Spicebomb line and only one flanker (Night Vision EDP) doen't repel me.
Phew, thought I was the only one that doesn’t like SB.
Wow...I'm exactly the opposite. Can't stand Night Vision and Extreme just dies as soon as it hits my skin. The OG is the best IMO.
I only really like the Infrared EDT. That's pretty much the fragrance I expected when I first saw that something named, "Spicebomb" existed.
Spicebomb Extreme was my first blind buy when I started getting into fragrances and while I do enjoy it, I only wear it during the holidays lol. It’s a bit much
Terre D'Hermes was an excellent blind buy for me, at first I actually did not like it, but it grew on me pretty quick, I bought it the same time I got the bulgari man in black, and I actually think they seem a little similar, but it seems like there's some more orange in the Hermes, it's really nice.
I sampled Spicebomb Extreme a couple weeks and youre right about that opening blast - I REFLEXIVELY recoiled, maybe even before it actually hit my skin! It was rough!
But after a few minutes it became bearable. After 30-45 minutes it was pretty nice and i might consider it in the future.
But yeah, that opening is a real doozy
I traded my bad boy le parfumf for Dior homme intense and guilty Gucci absolute. I love both! The Gucci is hard to wearbut I wear it just for myself. Out of all my collection my wife loves toy boy on my skin.
Yup, definitely agree on some of those.. I blind bought Encre Noir and it is collecting dust since then. Tested Bacarat Rouge and Interlude and didn't like those at all.
Eerie that I blind bought 9 of these and felt the same way about all except TF Noir Extreme but I still get it 💯
Wasn't quite sure about encre noire but it quickly grew on my great when it rains 🔥🔥🔥
i blind bought that noir extreme. bestt blind buys of my life ever
Great video as always Ash
I remember getting Dior homme intense early on for my collection because of the hype. I was no a fan of it at all. At the time I didn't smell to many fragrances mainly freshies and blue fragrances. After smelling a lot more things I came back to it and really enjoyed it.
Bros looking fire in that button up! Should make it the main look if I say so myself lol great video ❤
These are the kind of fragrances I look for. I don't like the run of the mill scent profiles. Thanks Ash!
I like DHI, I have a bottle. Hardly worn it though. Just can't find the right occasion to smell like lipstick!
Agreed 100%. I just made an Interlude video, and sure thing, loved by many, but not mass appealing 😂 Homme intense, Terre D’Hermes, not everyone is on board at all
I have all of these except for the nasamatto and the OG spice bomb but to be fair I actually like both of those as well as all the other ones on this list and my scent of the day is Xerjoff Naxos
I haven't seen Moschino in person anywhere to get a whiff, yet. So I'll definitely agree with you there.
Found it at Fragrance Outlet. It's pretty nice but I don't want to smell like it.
Yeah, that oregano note with the original Interlude is a killer. You either love it or you don't. Thankfully, Interlude Black Iris smoothed it out and I daresay made it better than the original. Even the extrait (Interlude 53) is actually smoother than the original so while the price tag is really high, there's almost no reason to have the original Interlude anymore unless you love that harsh oregano note. 😅
This is a great video idea! Part 2 would be nice.
I don't know if I'd particularly say Homme Intense and Terre d'Hermes as cautious blind buys. Personally I'd take Eau Givree over the original just because I feel like Eau Givree is alot more versatile as far as seasonality go. Homme Intense on the surface sounds a bit challenging due to the iris, but having a more recent batch, for me the iris isn't such a strong prescence especially compared to Dior's history. Especially in winter I can use it whenever and not feel like its out of place.
Noir extreme was my first blind buy
I did not like it at first But it has grown on me and i like it alot ❤
Spice Bomb is my absolute Favorite
I blind bought Guilty Absolute when the discontinuation was announced. Hands down my best buy and favorite fragrance
That's a masterpiece 👍.
Love my Dior home intense and Parfum! Glad I have og bottles that last 15+hrs 😈
Yeap og is where its at..all ones they sell now wont even last 3 hrs , complete rip off
@@vaneh6982 have to scrub them off when I get home from work and if I want to use another scent later that evening
can you make a video about the best fruity exotic fragrances? (like a top 10 or something)
I use to own pacco rabanne one million and Sauvage. I blindbought baccarat Rouge 540 and Tom ford oud wood from Nordstrom. $800. First sniff off oud wood got me like what did i bought. I liked baccarat.
Lovely list Ash, got half of them, except the pricey ones. Am I wired?
I have baccarat rouge 540 edp it's my 2 bottle this time in 200 ml. I wear this summer or winter when I don't what I'm gonna wearing. And interlude I have the OG and Black iris it's not loud for me or chalenging. Maybe if you begin in fragrance 🌎
Terre- My wife and I spent the remainder of our mall trip trying to get it off my hand😂
Encre’ Noir- A female coworker said “what’s that smell!?” Gave it a co worker I’m not very fond of
Interlude- sampled and I’ve come to the conclusion that vetiver is just not for me 😂
I’ve been only collecting frags since august of last year and have and love most of these . But admittedly some I didn’t when I began
Hi , You never reviewed dior homme parfum in your channel…we would like to know your opinion about this parfum
Black Afgano is amazing
I blind-bought Dior Homme Intense, and I fell in love with it straight away. I immediately was like "It's the best thing I've ever smelt and probably will ever smell." This fragrance fits me perfectly.
Same its class in a bottle
I felt like it smelled like lipstick which I did not like
I layer it with montale chocolate greedy
what batch did you got? i looked at the newer batch and i noticed the juice is paler than the one everyone had and i thought Dior watered the down
@@raihanaziz_ I never had the previous version so I'm not able to compare, but my first DHI according to some batchcodes-checking website would be a 2021 version, and it's fine for me. Perhaps the previous version was even better and the next will be watered down (like everything in life so it seems), I guess I'll never know, but when I'll have 150 euros to spend, I'll definitely check out Dior Homme Parfum.
It just so happened that my second fragrance which I blind bought was encre niore I do really enjoy the scent, but definitely not something I'm commonly wearing.
I bought the Clone for OUD FOR GLORY, "OUD FOR GREATNESS" Thank Gawd I didn't blind buy the real thing. This was very harsh and tough to pull off. It basically grabbed me and threw me around the room.
Noir extreme???? Wow that’s crazy. That stuff is BEAUTIFUL
I bought rasasi hawas cause of the hype and while I do like the smell, it gives me a headache when I wear it
I layer Hawas with Dylan Blue, smells great 😂
Guerlain Vetiver is so clean, I don't see how anyone would be upset blind buying it. Of course, there is that lady at work. BTW, thanks for the insecticon clip. Brings me back to my childhood 👍
Hey Ash, I’d love to see a video about challenging fragrances that can work (i.e. Trex by zoologist)
Everyone said Dior Homme Intense was a beast and you need to buy it, but I found the Iris is way too cloying and headache inducing. Spicebomb Extreme is what everyone gave 10/10 on RUclips I liked it and bought a bottle, after 10 wears it wasn’t growing on me and it was too sweet I ended up giving my bottle to my nephew and bought the original Spicebomb and found it easier to wear and it always delivers.
I'm glad I sampled Encre Noir. To me it's 95% vetiver, and 5% cypress. I wasn't a big fan. Sport is much better but still not for me.
Well....I have 10 out of 15 of these. But I love ALL of them! 😁
I blind bought Bentley For Men Absolute, but that pink pepper note was too much for me and i have it going to waste in my drawer.
Are the chapter names named automatically?
Can you turn that feature of please?
Burberry rouge ? Tres dames? Food for greatness?
Everyone talks about Oud For Greatness, has anyone ever heard of Initio Prives Musk Therapy?
"Food for Greatness" shown while hovering over the "Oud for Greatness" segment.
Was that auto generated by RUclips?
It's funny you mention Rouge 540. Got a sample today, am currently wearing it, and I am so incredibly disappointed in it
btw, as a beginner, most fragrances dont smell as most beginners imagine when they watch videos, for example, the most wanted and most wanted parfum, i was expecting much sweetness as all the videos have said, but it wasnt as much as i expected, etc
hence why i prefer to go to a store, if possible, and test it first before buying. Even then, cant find any Parfums de Marly around my area.
apart from Toy Boy, I love all the other mentioned
Of all the blind buy fragrances I bought, WBN is the least liked. The cinnamon n sweetness is just too much. Jeremy’s Unisex is very similar but softer n more elegant.
I blind bought Asad and Detour Noir based on your recommendation, did not like either of them. Detour noir was a real let down simply because I did not know that Layton would smell kinda bad. Asad was okay, it's just too middle eastern in scent, with all the spices, it doesn't smell pleasant.
I wish i was his friend because then i would just Ask him if i could come over and try some fragrences i want i would basically use him as a huuuge fragrance store he seems chill too
Loved Encre Noire ... My body chemistry did Not. The dry down was not very ... Nice
Bentley For Men could be a better option than Bentley Intense ... scent wise. Not as overwhelming.
My best blind buy ever is Rasasi Hawas
Now I’m debating on blind buying the Ice flanker
Yeah they really got me with encre noire 😂
Could you make a same video as this one but like more safe blind buys
first pick and I already couldn't agree more
I think the Azzaro doesn't fit into the list, it‘s mass pleasing in my opinion, but instead of it, you should have put ombre nomade in.
Noir Extreme is the best fragrance in the presentation
Gucci Absolute smells like barbershop leather seats. Gives me childhood memories, going to the barbers. It’s a W for me. 😂😅
I just blind bought some Encre Noire. LOL We'll see when it gets here.
I hope I have Terre D'Hermes on if I find myself in a hostage situation. Just to see if it works as well as it usually does. Lol.
Shout out to Black AFagna 🤣 Very "full and so rrrrich?" - Ted Hendricks
I"m of the opinion that no fragrances are safe blind buys. You should test everything first.
blind buy for me was afro leather. nasty smell scared to put it on will do so maybe surprised on skin.
Guerlain Vetiver is one of my most complimented fragrances. It smells so sophisticated!
I actually blind bought absolute and encre noire. Love them both, but GG Absolute is definitely a little difficult to wear out - also something you want to spray a LONG time before you go for a workout because it smells absolutely disgusting when it mixes with sweat and BO. Made that mistake once, never making it ever again. Encre noire is actually quite nice IMO, I go light on the sprays (usually 2 sprays) and I would say it's a pretty versatile fragrance.
I've been considering the OG spicebomb actually, it looks like what I want from the spicebomb variants but never get - literally just a spice bomb lol.
Completely agree with the list (although it is far from complete). Having over 100 perfumes in my collection and having tried over 1000, I still can't stand half of this list. Encre Noire, Terre, Bentley Intense, Interlude and Black Afgano are complete gross 🥴🤢🤮
I blind bought the original interlude over the interlude 53 or the black iris based on your reviews about them aside from a couple of other channels. It’s true, for a beginner it’s not safe but if you are looking to expand your fragrance game beyond the usual favorites.. this one is FKN TiTz …the incense is strong but this lasts and lasts.. in a great way. Love it.
Mother sister and gf hate terre de Hermes parfum. Sad bc I like it
So far. The only note I can't handle is Violet.
I regretted buying Dior Homme Parfum😢
Well, I almost bought Angel's Share and Khamrah. Both are way overhyped.
What I learned from this video is that Transformers and Decepticons have stomachs. Who knew?
First clue that "Vintage" by John Varvatos is for mature adults and not for the young -
it is called "Vintage" !
