funny you mention luna rossa black, im wearing it right now, i got 1 unsolicited compliment today at work, went with my 6 spray routine at 9.00 am and i can still smell it... i got 2 backup bottles aswell, love it.
Idea for a video! Now that people are slowly heading back to the office, what about a not safe for work (NSFW 😂) fragrance list? Fragrances that, while amazing, may not be most welcome by people at the office. And then you could offer up an alternative that fits the overall scent profile/style of fragrance?
i have a question for yall who been for more than a decade on this fragance collecting hobby... how many years does it take for a fragance to change its color? does change of color stands for change of smell? i started buying fragances 3 years ago and im stacking up 3 pretty fast tbh, would love to hear your opinion.
Been in frag game heavy over 12 years. I have seen that frags with vanilla actually turn darker the most. Most of them go darker in a year or so. But if it's a big house like versace eros and they are mass produced, they are already aged well before they go on shelves. So those don't change color like that. Niche and smaller house change the most.
Ok. When your perfume bottle empty more then HALF.try not to sit on shelf much longer as OXYGEN MOLECULES in perfume bottle more then SAFE LEVEL. That will CONTERMINATE your perfume.🙂
Not all change. I have a bottle of D&G Homme that's about 15 years old and it's still the same slight off white colour, still smells incredible too. Yet I've got a bottle of Joop someone bought me a few years ago that I've never worn (I don't like it) that's gone from its usual pinky purple to a browny molasses colour. The oldest I have is some Paul Sebastian, that's at least 25 years old, maybe even more, and that's still the same colour as it still sells now. Same with some Aramis. These both got given to me by my grandfather, who's 87 now, and hasn't worn fragrances since he was in his 60's. Also gave me some Kenzo Bamboo, can't tell if that's changed colour though with it being a blue bottle. Doesn't seem darker that's for sure. Most of my frags are 3+ years old, with 20% or so newer than that, only the Joop has changed colour to my knowledge, but then many have coloured bottles so it'd be hard to give an accurate conclusion. All the ones in clear bottles are as they were bought, if any change has taken place it's so minimal I haven't noticed. Keep them out of light and in a cool area that doesn't fluctuate in temperature and you'll be grand. I've never taken extreme measures like some do with fridges and blacked out cupboards etc, and I've never had any issues, other than the Joop I don't like anyway. Still smells like Joop mind, just looks like Pepsi.
I adore Private Accord. I found a 50ml in the wild for $40 and snatched it up. Hermes' Eau Intense Vetiver is my favorite from the house. Really great smelling fragrance.
A fragrance I would have put in is Toy Boy from Moschino It has the smell of a fruits and rose with a real sharp fresh twist with a bit of spice. Plus it projects decent and is extremely long lasting. It is really something else plus not many people own it so it is even more unique.
I got two complements wearing Tom ford noir extreme today. Although I was told by one I smelled like Cotton candy. Which I can agree like a smoky cotton candy
Paco Rabanne "Black XS" of 2005th (the one you mentioned in this video) is different from 2018th version (in that wide bottle), imho of course, but does anyone smell that difference? 🤔
I dont get any coconut from Fusion Extreme. Its a pepper and incense bomb. I can highly recommend the original Fusion though, its so fresh and clean. Great all year round.
Hey Ash, here's a suggestion for new videos: why don't you make reviews of known fragrances that you haven't reviewed yet? For instance, I'd like to watch a review from you for: Grey Vetiver (Tom Ford), Noir Extreme (Tom Ford), Oajan (parfums de Marly) and Pegasus (Parfums de Marly). I believe that's a very nice way to make additional great content and probably using fragrances that you already have in your collection (it's also a pretty nice way to have new content during this shortage of new fragrance releases we're going through). Thanks and congratulations for the content, as always.
I'm working on a few reviews currently. Bleu Noir Parfum, Xerjoff Iommi and a couple others. I'm not the biggest fan of Pegasus but I do like Oajan a lot. Grey Vetiver would make a good review but I'd need a new bottle, mine is darn near empty and I don't have the box anymore. Next time I place an order somewhere I'll order another bottle and put it on the docket for a review.
@@balazs7235 haha, I was kind of joking. Really, I layer Cuir D'Arabie with Montale Black Musk or Black Aoud, depending on if I want more oud and rose or more leather. Both work insanely well. They are *NOT* date fragrances though. Cuir D'Arabie does get less challenging as it dries down though, the oud mellows, the leather gets less goaty, clean notes pop out.
@@jOr2187 I've had the most attention from Arabians Tonka and Oud Dream. The former is a very tonka heavy, rich, sweet scent. The latter is still sweet, but drier, calm oud, lots of spices, a bit like a grown up Spicebomb Extreme. Both project and last like crazy.
Bruh, take something called an 'iron' to the collar of that shirt! Goodness...BUT Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar tune.....YEAH BOII!! You know your Trance Ash!....Now get an iron..

Honey Aoud and Aoud Lemon Mint are my favourite here’s….. thanks for the great content as always
Honey aoud is way too strong
@@sakke877 u can smell aoud honey from space loool
Yes finally cafe del mar woah 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Also la isla blanca is a Banger
Fusion D’Issey and Savage EdT are my faves with the most compliments.
Black XS doesn’t get the respect it deserves. Amazing for the price.
I got a lot of unique compliments on Lacoste Blanc now that it’s warm weather.
Same! Just picked up the 200ml bottle. Even other men stop and ask me about it.
@@burtjones7960 Which? Blanc or Blanc eau fraiche?
@@EVsSuck777 Blanc

Do you get that coconut note from the original?
I love the intro today Ash
I thought spicebomb night vision was going to be here, but yes, the designer list is really cool!
The EDT smells ridiculously similar to invictus to my nose. haven't smelled the EDP yet though.
What a coincidence. Just picked up Prada LR Black from my local retail shop. Hard to find online discounted.
1:27 absolutely true, I added alcohol to my kindergarten class, didn’t end well

Aoud Lemonn Mint is amazing
I like to go on dates wearing Montale Aoud Cuir D'Arabie (think barnyard with musty goat leather) layered with YSL Kouros.
The first part of it sounds amazing, but Kouros. Is the Kouros smell really noticable?
@@balazs7235 haha, I was kind of joking. Really, I layer Cuir D'Arabie with Montale Black Musk or Black Aoud, depending on if I want more oud and rose or more leather. Both work insanely well.

@@jeffwatkins72 what about black oud? What's your experience? Thanks for answering
You should do a top 29 list of ur personal fav fragrances
Hello Ash, friend here, watching Gents scents
Prada Luna Rosa Black 50ml are at Fragranceenet at the moment.
Ash how do you flip the same 20-30 fragrances into 1000s of videos? Been beaten to death and I'm always amazed by how you do it.
He rarely ever featured the ones in this video
The song is energy 52- Cafe del Mar
Aoud Lemon Mint surprised me
Bruh, take something called an 'iron' to the collar of that shirt! Goodness...BUT Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar tune.....YEAH BOII!! You know your Trance Ash!....Now get an iron..
Amazing list. Most of the frags here I haven’t owned yet. Lookin forward to sampling them
Anyone knows if Prada black is discontinued, been trying to get my hand on a bottle but seemed to have ran out.
I saw a couple of Prada black bottles at my Macys but if it’s discontinued then it might be at discounters. Smells great though
Trance & fragrance the best combination
hahaha cafe del amr and budda bar were the best chill out compilation albums
Thanks!
I’m pretty sure Prada black is now discontinued from what I’ve heard just bought 2 100ml bottles it’s intoxicating
Hey Ashmeister. How about a top Diptyques bruh? Whaddya say?
Waiting on a compliment from my La Tsarine. 😂
Performance on the issey mentioned on the list ?
Can someone please explain to me what, "solar notes" means or what it's supposed to smell like?
like the sun
Ash, can you please review Chanel allure homme sport cologne?
Paco Rabanne needs to come out with another XS flanker line... INXS like the band... bring back a cool retro vibe.
Luna Rossa black is rumored to be discontinued =(
Gents scents, could you please tell me the best clones for amouage interlude black iris and acqua di gio essenza;
Thanks
Doesn't boss the scent private accord smell like axe dark temptation????????
Anyone bought fusion issey? Performance?
Dude ... Here is fun idea than nobody has ever done... " Top 10 fragrances for construction workers! "
Fumé del Back Pain by Gucci Doctor Appointment Parfum
It's crazy I have Oud Touch And Oud For Glory And There unique to me but no one I been around like Oud
Private Accord👍
Lemon and mint go together like orange juice and toothpaste
“ah-OOD lemon mint”
Haven’t found a Montale, or Mancera that didn’t smell like chemical trash. I don’t see the hype on them.
Maybe, because there's no real worthy clones, Bleu De Chanel could have been on this video, right?
Black XS literally smells like strawberries! Love it though
don't mind peeps but PRADA luna rossa black smells like church to me :/
Just call Jeremy. He will take you to Ibiza.
Forever

Sorry but I bought aoud lemon mint it’s trash . Weak performance and very overhyped à very cheap smelling fragrance
First!!!!!!!
Actually not rip
Sorry but Aoud Lemon Mint is not complement getting. It’s vile. I have a BIG collection and this was probably my most disappointing blind buy ever! 🤢
Facts I hate that stuff I blind bought as well and returned it almost immediately!
44th!!!
Hey dude great content as always. Have you tried any fragrances from Goutal? I’ve just picked up my first Nuit etoilee and it’s fantastic and I hear the others are too. Check them out if not already!
I can’t seem to find Luna Rossa Black anywhere, not sure if it’s discontinued in Canada. Does anyone know?
I’ve got the same problem, I keep seeing reviewers include it in their videos but I haven’t seen it available anywhere. I found it on display for testing at a sephora this weekend but there weren’t any available to purchase, it smells rlly nice tho.
On Reddit they were saying it's was discontinued
