Awesome video and list Ash! Starwalker is actually my fave Mont Blanc, still. I bought a bottle years ago when I first heard about it on your channel (one of your older videos), and used it so much I actually used the whole bottle. Need a new one and I’m guessing i should get on that, based on this video. Lol. Be well! 👍
@@coreywilkins7899 Its a got a fresh aspect to it coupled with a tea note which I guess is the bamboo. Very refreshing & calming. Was my go to when I was on holiday in the Philippines for the high heat. Longevity is only average for me, but it's very affordable so I cant complain.
Does it smell dated at this point? I passed on it a number of times just based on the age of it thinking it might smell dated, but I know where I can get it on clearance so I might do that
I have Starwalker and I like it, but it doesn't last too long. More of an in the house scent, or in places where people may complain since it is light and enjoyable.
Black XS remains one of my favourite scents. I'm happy that it has dipped in popularity and isn't really talked about any more. It's been long enough that among those in their early 20's its almost unknown. Maybe Gents Scents could do a 'Fragrances worth reviving' video, highlighting those which have fallen from mainstream popularity, but are still strong options. Does anyone know for sure whether the repackaged version is the same formulation? The bottle I have from the late 2000's is in the same shape bottle as the 'Potion' version shown in the video. I've heard people say the repackaged version of the original Black XS isn't as strong. Have just checked out if 'Potion' is available here in the UK, there's a website selling 100ml for £35. I will certainly be considering it! Great recommendation from Gents Scents!
I recently found and bought an original formulation bottle of Black XS from 2014. Cost me 50AUD for 50ml which I was happy to pay. (Iv seen bottles on ebay going for 100+) Comparing it to my new 2020 bottle. The new one is 90% the same imo. The original has a slightly stronger strawberry kinda note on the opening. Both are ooook in terms of longevity which is strange because I swear when I had a bottle back in 2006 it used to last longer but maybe I was just a very heavy sprayer in my youth.
Hi sediment/floaters lol are quite prevalent in naturals, indie perfumes and it’s advisable to give a little shake prior to spraying it may block the sprayer 👍
I really like the starwalker and the starwalker extreme both are discontinued if you get a chance to pick one up you probably should. They both do get compliments from men as well as women.
How can some fragrances be around seemingly forever (4711, Eucris by Trumper, Eight and Bob, heck Old Spice and Brut etc.) And other fantastic and still largely sought after fragrances be discontinued??? .. with smaller niche producers/manufacturers many houses are missing out on sales that are being replaced by 'recreations' of discontinued fragrances... surely they must see this coming with so many clone houses out there?
Starwalker is a great casual daily scent. See it plenty at my local Marshall's still but now that it's discontinued, I'm getting a bit nervous about wearing it so much. Lol
@@CafeHueyLong yeah, I still see it all the time. I also see the intense version but I still prefer the original. I think they must've changed their minds bc having a 2-3yr supply seems a bit odd😅
XS potion reminds me of strawberry quality street (not sure if you have them in the US, little individual chocolate shells with a sweet creamy filling). Even though its quite sweet and a bit rich I find its really versatile.
I actually just retired her to the guest bedroom because I worked on changing the frag-room around. I’ve shot some videos that aren’t out yet though that still have the blue chair of power in them
Hey Ash I see three bottles of the black XS potion on eBay 2 listings are for $115 and I see a third listing for $103 I don't see any for 45 unless they took them all I've been looking for this fragrance forever and I was trying to pay decent prices without having over pay looks like I have to keep trying
My favorite discontinued are polo explorer which is like $150 on eBay. Nautica Regatta is another great discontinued for about $40-50 on eBay for 50 mils.
Valentino uomo intense is supposedly discontinued but there are so many better options out there that smell similar, kinda wish I didn't drop 100$ on a bottle.
I love Escada Sentiment, and used to wear it exclusively in 2003. But, as amazing as it smelled, it had HORRIBLE longevity. If it couldn't last, when it was brand new, do you really want a dead-stock bottle, that has been sitting in a warehouse somewhere for a decade?! I imagine that the longevity would be an absolute zero by now. What do you think?
Anyone know definitively if Boss Bottled Intense EDP is discontinued? This is one of my personal favorites and massive compliment getter so I'm wondering if I need to stock up on 5-10 bottles
I just got another 3.4 of Liz claiborne Candies from fragrancex for I think 25. The older I get more than collecting is the high of the find and the deal. Lol
He's done lots of content on Mancera. There's a Mancera ranking video you can have a look at. Cedrat Boise is one of his top 3 Manceras. Also there are plenty of youtubers who have reviewed Cedrat Boise. It's been reformulated now but it's still nice. If compared, Aventus is better. Cedrat Boise is better than CDNIM and Explorer but not by much. I would grab Explorer because of the price. Performance wise CDNIM EDP and Aventus are quite on par. Then Cedrat Boise and then Explorer. There you go.
They have mandarina duck black extreme for like 40 bucks on Fragrancebuy.ca if anybody is interested idk if this is common knowledge or not still runs for the double the price on eBay and in Facebook groups. I got 2 bottles
First, Ash Salute stop fronting and your collection second you need to show your fragrances that are totally discontinued fashion designers. Don’t hold back.
Man,I watch your videos for a while,cool content and decent reviews. But I must be very honest with you, this chair does not suit you,honestly. Just my personal opinion, no offence. Hello from UK 👍
Starwalker has a bamboo note that I can't get by and is way too floral smelling even though florals are not listed as a note. Not a blind buy even for $19.99. I tried to love it but simply could not.
@@coreywilkins7899 Is say it's not worth it. Save your $20 as the are better fragrances that are much better for the same price. Many people like Starwalker, but it's also outputting to many as well.
Bought starwalker literally 2 days ago, for the price i didn't expect much and thought it's worth a blind buy... i was pleasantly surprised 😁

Just picked up Starwalker at Burlington for like $9 for 1.7oz. Surprised at how nice it smells!
Starwalker is underrated & one of my favorites. Very versatile
It really is a clone of Versace
the bottle that i had only lasted an hour or so, so i gave it to a buddy whos favorite scent is versace man. says he loves it
I love it tooo but doesn't last
@@timnugent6178 I think Starwalker came out first.
Really dissapointing to see Starwalker here. It's a lovely scent. I'll grab a bottle or two now to hang on to.
What does it smell like? Longevity?

It seems to still be around.
Bought today vintage YSL M7 80/100 ml for 61$ and now watching video about discontinued fragrances… what a day, what a lovely day ✨
I have Starwalker and I like it, but it doesn't last too long. More of an in the house scent, or in places where people may complain since it is light and enjoyable.
I noticed the caption says mont blanc explorer when u were showing starwalker
I was sure you would include Montblanc Individual, but I agree Starwalker is also worthwhile. Great video as always, really like your content Ash!👍🥸

Man finally I see Black XS Potion in a video 👏👏 I wish that it would come back
I`m glad I have Starwalker in my collection.
Hi sediment/floaters lol are quite prevalent in naturals, indie perfumes and it’s advisable to give a little shake prior to spraying it may block the sprayer 👍
Great 📹 and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
Starwalker is one of my favorite gym scents.
Starwalker is a lovely fragrance
What does it smell like? I'm thinking about getting it
@@coreywilkins7899 strong Bamboo smell but very refreshing and clean and mega cheap
@@davidhenderson28 ok I'm not sure what bamboo fragrances smell like but thanks for your response
@@coreywilkins7899 it smells very very similar to Versace man eau fraiche.
@@MegaBasphemerofDeath I had Versace already so it might be redundant for me. Thanks for sharing
I loved Escada Sentiment. I love your idea(Escada name).I had it back in 2002.I owned two bottles. I have my Moon Sparkle from 2007.It's still new.
Awesome Ashton. Really looking forward to more of this kind of content. Show off that killer collection ✌
I picked up Vendetta, just now. Thanks for the info. Didn't know it existed
It’s really good if you like fragrances in that style. Pretty much overlooked nowadays
I really like the starwalker and the starwalker extreme both are discontinued if you get a chance to pick one up you probably should. They both do get compliments from men as well as women.
I've seen Starwalker every now and then at the Ross stores in my area.
I only ever see Presence and Individual
Still see it at Marshall's near me as well as individuel
Where?... which state? Here in Los Angeles California is difficult to get gems
@@GloriaaCristo2011 I'm in northern VA, near DC.
Funny i watched this video and i picked up Mont Blanc Starwalker today at TJ Maxx for 20$.
Thanks Ashton.. I just bought two more fragrances I'll never go through because of your vids!!! Lol 😆
An aftershave I love and miss wearing is L'instant De Guerlain pour homme eau extreme! Was one of my all time favourites, such a unique smell.
Starwalker is fantastic! Its way better than cheap deodorant smelling Explorer.
I like neither. Starwalker has a bamboo note that I can't get by and is way too floral.
@@RodT87 I find bamboo in Starwalker as watery and refreshing note. Well to each his own. 😊
Chilllll Starwalker is my hidden gem ssshhhh

I guess they changed their mind because Starwalker is still around. Or maybe there is still just a big supply.
@@CafeHueyLong yeah, I still see it all the time. I also see the intense version but I still prefer the original. I think they must've changed their minds bc having a 2-3yr supply seems a bit odd😅
I love black xs potion! One I always keep a back up bottle of!
XS potion reminds me of strawberry quality street (not sure if you have them in the US, little individual chocolate shells with a sweet creamy filling). Even though its quite sweet and a bit rich I find its really versatile.
I still can't get over the Dr. Evil chair...
That sounds like you have major issues. It is just a chair after all.
I actually just retired her to the guest bedroom because I worked on changing the frag-room around. I’ve shot some videos that aren’t out yet though that still have the blue chair of power in them
Is Mont Blanc Starwalker really discontinued? Buy l because this video is over 3 years old and I can still pick this up pretty easily for about $25
Hey Ash I see three bottles of the black XS potion on eBay 2 listings are for $115 and I see a third listing for $103 I don't see any for 45 unless they took them all I've been looking for this fragrance forever and I was trying to pay decent prices without having over pay looks like I have to keep trying
I will like to see a video how to spend your $1,400 stimulus check on fragrance.😬
I'm a buyer also when I get mines lol
Haha, put that money to good use
@@GentsScents it's hygiene 😬🤣
@@kevinroman3360 plus if you get a cheap enough fragrance there's enough alcohol to be used as sanitizer...so it's a pandemic protective equipment
Too late🤮
Hey scents, friends here with ash gents
My favorite discontinued are polo explorer which is like $150 on eBay. Nautica Regatta is another great discontinued for about $40-50 on eBay for 50 mils.
starwalker is still available at my local sephora🤣
I Loved Discontinued Fragrances, But I Choosed Bvlgari BLV Pour Homme.
Thanks for the update.
I love and have Escada Pour Homme and Valentino Vendetta!
YSL Kouros is discontinued in the States (if nowhere else), so unfortunately you can add that too
Hi there, Max Forti!
Best news I’ve heard all day
@@ThePauloEmo Did he mention it? I didn’t know, I just heard from someone that emailed YSL
@@balazs7235 I don't think so, man. But he's the one who's crying discontinued on everything, so I made a little joke 😉
@@ThePauloEmo Oh right haha!
I got the joke but as you’ve said it, he does cry discontinued on every fragrance!
Valentino uomo intense is supposedly discontinued but there are so many better options out there that smell similar, kinda wish I didn't drop 100$ on a bottle.
I think I saw a place at the mall selling Exceptionnel for around $45. Worth it?
do you own a bottle of v&r antidote? what do think about this one?
I love Escada Sentiment, and used to wear it exclusively in 2003. But, as amazing as it smelled, it had HORRIBLE longevity. If it couldn't last, when it was brand new, do you really want a dead-stock bottle, that has been sitting in a warehouse somewhere for a decade?! I imagine that the longevity would be an absolute zero by now. What do you think?
Speaking of discontinued fragrances, yesterday I pick up a bottle of dior aqua fahrenheit ($95) and ysl m7 fresh ($155). Love em
Now those are fantastic pick ups!
starwalker blends well with versace pour homme or eau fraiche
Anyone know definitively if Boss Bottled Intense EDP is discontinued? This is one of my personal favorites and massive compliment getter so I'm wondering if I need to stock up on 5-10 bottles
10??? Why not add some variety to ur collection instead
I've got vendetta, awesome
My only fragrance with floaters is CK Euphoria, I don't reach for it often so they have all settled to the bottom
I just got another 3.4 of Liz claiborne Candies from fragrancex for I think 25. The older I get more than collecting is the high of the find and the deal. Lol
So nobodys gonna mention that he wrote MontBlanc Explorer instead of Starwalker? lol, all the same great video..
Do a video of 10 fragrances that smell great after you get done showering
Do you iwn Dolce and Gahanna bye? The blk and white striped bottle?
❤starwalker
Lol already bought Issey Miyake Oceanic Expedition 🌊 a limited edition from 2015 😅
Day 3 of asking for a Mancera Cedrat Boise review
He's done lots of content on Mancera. There's a Mancera ranking video you can have a look at. Cedrat Boise is one of his top 3 Manceras.

@@atonyt3762 I got aventus and Explorer. I guess I'll get CDIMN and forget about cederat boise.
@@coreywilkins7899 you really need CDNIM after you bought Aventus & Explorer? But why? 😕
(Cedrat way better than CDNIM & Explorer, in my opinion)
@@sandromateush9650 I buy everything Aventus related. But I hear you, thanks for sharing
Can you do top Guerlain and / or Dior?
My Joop! Homme has floating bits and it's about 5 years old
I've got the particulate material in one bottle that I own, B*men
Starwalker or explorer? On the vid text is says explorer but he says starwalker
Starwalker
R.I.P. Black XS potion since Jeremy featured it on his channel. Only ones available now are from scalpers charging $80
Please feature the ff discontinued fraga that I LOVE! > YSL Jazz(white&black bottle); Armani Mania; Givenchy XYRUS and Kenneth Cole New York
Mandarina duck black extreme is on fragrancebuy.ca speaking of discontinued fragrances
👀🤭🙌🏽
Amazing video
Surprised Montblanc Individuel isn’t on the list. Nor Boss Bottled Intense
They have mandarina duck black extreme for like 40 bucks on Fragrancebuy.ca if anybody is interested idk if this is common knowledge or not still runs for the double the price on eBay and in Facebook groups. I got 2 bottles
Fantastic Fragrance as well, worth the hype!
Gucci Rush &Gucci Pour Homme
From Jeremy fragrance here .. the only 2 channels make sense.
When will u upload fans collection reaction video??
First, Ash Salute stop fronting and your collection second you need to show your fragrances that are totally discontinued fashion designers. Don’t hold back.
montblanc be like, a starwalker eau de parfum? nahhh beter go with explorer ultra blue ......
I don't think Starwalker is discontinued. It's one of their best fragrances.
I mean it’s not even on their website anymore. It’s dead just like Individual and Presence
@@flightgravity7483 literally bought starwalker 2oz at Marshall's for $20 today 2022 Christmas.
Ball Man on blue throne
That Black Potion loosk liek Black xs
I have a bottle of valentino v if you are interested ash.
Uff i was so happy that noone knew what potion is...dude do u really need to reveal all the secrets? ;)
The Black XS line gets little love, I had to give it some
First one sounding kinda sus
I know it’s not the poster’s fault, but the ads are getting ridiculous. 2 stoppages within the first 4.5 minutes. Absurd.
I didn't get any. but well I have the youtube premium subscription
Not after this video
Made me have to buy a bottle of xs potion just now lol.
>Montblanc Starwalker
>the captions say Explorer
🤔
dropping a like for that scent pun
gents hey, ash scents here with friends
hmmmm interesting .. get that take a look then :)
Explorer is discontinued? Whaaat
Lol no, Starwalker is.
Hello
Man,I watch your videos for a while,cool content and decent reviews. But I must be very honest with you, this chair does not suit you,honestly. Just my personal opinion, no offence. Hello from UK 👍
The only one that I have owned is Starwalker. Not a fan. The others I can't talk about.
I agree. Just didn't like that bamboo or whatever. It just doesn't agree with my nose.
@@RodT87 yeah I have heard others that really like it. I may be in the minority but there is something about Starwalker that I just can't stand.
hey scents ash here with gents friends
10 fragrances that smell great after sweating
Montblanc explorer 🤣
Until this video went up
They should still be affordable, outside of Vendetta you can still usually find them at discounters for a decent price.
