I think it's worth pointing out that different concentrations of "the same" fragrance, for example the EdT and EdP versions of Montblanc Legend, are almost never just the same formula at different concentrations.
When i got into fragrance collecting just a few months i was very confused about the concentrations. I understood the differences pretty easily like how an edt has less “oil” than edp or perfums but for a week i just assumed its the same fragrance just stronger. I now get why they have to tweak the formula its a lot easier to sell if you change it up rather than telling a normal shopper, “ yea that fragrance you have well we just made another one thats about 10% stronger.”
Ashley in Paris just did a video
For me I learned the terminology as I went along in this fragrance journey slowly but surely I figured out what they all were 😁
Me too
Same
What does a green fragrance mean?
@@rhondareynolds3931 or Bleau
@@rhondareynolds3931 has lots of “green notes” maybe notes like Aquatic and Herbal notes.
A video on the fragrance families would be really interesting, hope to see it soon!
LEYKIS 101 !!!
Do you mean like green, blue fragrances and so forth? 🤔
@@Olm9 yes, exactly that
@@diegolobianco1015 Great idea!! 👍
Fragrance families with some examples would be cool
Finally - a video on the vocabulary of frangrance terms! Brilliant idea!
I don’t really like the term clone as it makes a newbie think that it’s legitimately identical. When I was new to fragrances I thought wow, if CDNIM is a clone of Aventus it’s the same scent for far less money!
They should perhaps be referred to as something like “an interpretation”. But as all of us in the community know a clone doesn’t mean a literal clone, I guess it’s ok!
What is a green fragrance?
I’m a beginner for sure and I appreciate these videos! I love colognes and have been collecting different kinds through out the years ( about 50+) not a lot but didn’t know the terminology very well or knowing what fragrances to wear and when. Thanks again!
It’s about time someone is tackling this topic. I hope this becomes a series of videos 👍
This was an awesome video that does help a lot. Thank you. It would be cool if once a week or once a month you did a video like this to expand on the terminology as you were speaking of at the end of the video to help newbies like me.
Once again thank you this was awesome.
Finally a video that’s not like Jeremy Fragrance or Chaos Fragrances listpalooza pushing the same 20-30 designer fragrances. This is more like the old Ashton.
Yup I'm getting tired of hearing them talk about the same ones as well. Especially Creed Aventus. So tired of hearing about that one
@@Jdespo518 To me all the "Top 10 ____" lists are out of control. Sheesh
🤦🏾♂️
This helps alot. I had an idea of some terms but I can also say some of my ideas were wrong. Thank you. I enjoy your streams!
I would like to hear more about day vs night warm vs cold etc and when the fragrance works and when its a bad idea due to weather conditions. how do i know if it will become cloying in the heat? what about layering?
Would love to see a video on fragrance family. Thank you for this video!!
Useful recap of common fragrance terms.
Thank you.
Great info video and I enjoyed it and have a blessed night
Ty for taking the time to make this video.
Finally! Always wanted a vid like this.
I watched this knowing most of what you were talking about and still loved it.
Sometimes when you say "I'm going to flank" it means to come from behind. So I understand flanker as meaning "to come after".
Check the flank 😎
Well done! please do more teaching videos, they make the reviews even better knowing the terminology and background.
This was sorely needed for the inexperienced
definitely should do a video breakdown of the families.
Awesome video. Thank you for the clarification
yes, please. Do the fragrance categories in another video. would definitely watch that. :)
Learned the terminology pretty quick. Been collecting since last summer
I always heard frag heads use words like anosmic, olfactory, flankers, sillage, gourmand, green fragrance, blue fragrance, amber, animalic, etc...had to research what they all meant so this video is helpful for others
I haven’t even watched the video yet but I’m thanking you I literally just got into fragrances spring 21 and I was so lost at watching reviewers but thanks to fragrantica I learned most terms but I’d much rather had seen a quality video on it and many other things noobs should learn
Great video and info. Thanks
Very informative. Thank you
Thanks for this very useful video 👏🏻👏🏻
Great video Ash!
Solid video brother, thank you
I've been out of the fragrance game since 08 pretty much wearing Sean Jean Iam King edt, Lecoste Pour Homme edt, and Nautica Voyage. So I'm open to try new fragrances.
Dude, this T-shirt is absolutely killer, I need to get one of these ASAP!!!
Basics for you, educational for me.
I once made my decisions based upon the attractiveness and interaction with the young women working the counter. My tailor featured Royalle and Creed. The PYT's had Krizia, Lancome, whoever made Tuscany, YSL, JPG, Dior etc etc. Loved it at the time
LEYKIS 101 !!!
Congratulations young gentleman you are done very nice job. On such approachable way.
Greetings from Korea by the Bosnian man
Thanks for the terminology. 👍
Great video!
Great video and breakdown. I remember first time hearing the term "flanker"...I was like huh?! Lol....but learned most of these along the way.
The breakdown of different concentrations is important. A couple of coworkers and I were talking fragrances one day and one made a comment on how didn't want "toilet water" colognes cause they're fake. I had to explain to him that it isn't fake, it's just a lower concentration
first time I heard the term "flanker" → ... is he saying "this fragrance smells like more franker than the OG version" ??
Thanks for the video
I’m a beginner
Your reviews are an awesome guide ♥️
Please put out something for family/wheel in the future 🙏
I have 4 in my collection from watching your videos
Thank you for the knowledge 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Thank you for all of your help. I have just got into fragrances and went from 2 to 27 bottles in 5 months. I had only nautica competition blue bottle from the 90s and aqua di gio. Now I have all spicwbombs, all azzaro except tonic, tobacco vanille, and so much more because of u
Why? You realize they all expire. 1-3yr shelf life (then notes and performance will be very minimal and skin scents at best). Maybe for bottles idk, but doesn’t make sense to “collect” . Use em if you got em!
@@SaintsCheat I like to collect. The 3-5 years is for average colognes/fragrances. For designers it’s at 100% potency (usage) for about 4-6 5-7 years due to the freshly used ingredients. With that said many fragrances actually better with age (especially those with heavier notes like oud wood) depending on designer and notes and if they don’t and the fragrances are ones that lose potency after that time frame they only drop 1 or 2 percent potency a year. My Lacoste bottle from 2006 I wore last night smells the exact same and lasted about 4-5 hours. So for me the nautica is more for collectors item that is worth a pretty penny right now and it’s a memorable scent from my childhood.
Very thoughtful Ash👍
I figured out most of this on my own but I did learn something new, and my gf learned a lot, Thx
Waiting for Part 2!!!
Great video, thanks!
Oooooo!!!!
Two vids in one day!!!
Let's go!!!
😎😎🤣😎😎
Love the graphics tee!
loved this, thanx
Great video informative
Great video very informative for beginners. Lets get that families video now.
What is a green fragrance?
Great vid, thanks!
Great video
Great video.👍
Greeting Ash - Please clarify/define the differences between an "indie" and "niche" fragrance. Thanks!...
This should be a series.
Thank you now I know👊🏽
Very important video.
one word i didnt learn until later on was the term "macerate". but i think it only refers to using clones, i dont think you have to macerate that bottle brought from frangrancex, macy, etc etc.
How do you read the concentration from the box?
I’m fairly new to the fragrance community. I’ve been envolved for about 2 years now and this is a great video. But wait, Parfum and Extrait de Parfum are the same thing?
Eau de cologne concentree - any idea where it stands in the scale?
Ash. Macy's brought back Di Gio Profumo!!! I know you said that Macy's not carrying it anymore was one of the bad signs that they might be discontinuing it, but now all departments stores seem to have it back in stock on the regular as well as the Armani site.
There was a little scare a few months back, that Profumo was axed.
Do you think that Profumo is officially back?!?!
This was cool but I need one for when fragrance reviewers talk about the scent, i.e. creamy, it smells green, etc.
You should make the fragrance family video
(Sillage) sounds exactly like an Arabic word ( سياج ) which means the walls around something so the sillage of the scent is the walls around him🌷
Thank u for the video, it is really helpfull.
Helpful video for noobs 😊I stopped noticing my Tom Ford Black Orchid perfume after a month but people still give me compliments from time to time.
You went nose blind 😂😅 it’s okay happens a lot but we still smell you I promise!
@@jeffhelmick8065 yes it’s a powerhouse winter fragrance!! This time I will get Armani code Parfum 2022 and Guerlain Homme ideal EDP
You definitely can make amber tincture/absolute though
By the way....Love the Zelda Shirt!!! One of my Favorite Games ever!...It was that or Pitfall from Atari!
flanker is when you want to sell the og performance & longevity (because they reformulated the og scent) at a higher price
Love the T shirt 😂
... I have no further questions, your honor!
You literally told me to look up the main thing I wanted to hear
What does a green fragrance mean?
“Someone holds up a fragrance and they go ‘this is a flanker’ “ 😂😂😂
You could also have touched on designer, niche and indie.
Is “ a signature scent “ a term ! I asked once at a cologne counter before if a men’s fragrance I can wear mostly in the summer or winter and she just said it’s a signature scent ! But I therefore thought ok I can wear it anytime I want ! Lol and so I bought it and then walked out 😅
Does projection and performance basically the same thing?
Performance is how long the scent sticks to your body, projection is how far the scent projects to others. Often these go hand in hand but there's exceptions
the only thing i get confused with is stuff like "eau de parfum intense" or "elixir". those random words they put infront or after the concentration... what do they mean? is it a secret code of some sort? no one knows......
Can anybody help me out. I've been searching and searching is there a cologne out that smells anything like Mary Kays Velocity for men. If so please proceed to educate me. Please and thank you
Legend of Zeeeelllllllddddddaaaaaaaa
Cologne concentration is one thing and Cologne formulation is another.
Cologne formulation are the fragrances with citrus and white flowers.
Niche v Designer?
Inspired by - about 96% of all perfumes. I have smelled over 500 perfumes and have collected them for a long time. A lot aaaaaaa lootttt perfumes smell alike. Especially around maybe a hand full very famous perfumes.
you have the talent to move to any genre and make it interesting, gentgaming?😳👌🏻
I asked if he was going to make a gaming channel too at some point! I’d love to see him tackle gaming topics, he’s obviously a gamer.
For myself it is a flanker too.
Great, now I don't have to take my friends to a private 1 hour lecture every single time
People were duscussing how Parfum is the best of any fragrance because it has the highest concentration thus it lasts the longest, but smells the same. So I chimed in to give my proper insight on why none of these are true and tell them to look up which one is the one you should by, depending on what you want.
A guy straight up was fighting me saying how untrue it us and Parfum will always be the best. Sent him videos and blogs but he knew better. Okay then.
So colognes are weaker than toilettes?
Generally speaking, yes. They last less long. Take curve for example. Super strong for an hour, but after 3 hours it's completely gone and you can't smell it anymore.
Zelda is the best series of games ever made period!!!!
👍👍👍
Goo.
👍🏾👍🏾
I wonder why 'toilet water'(edt) became a perfumery term
Flankers = sons/daughters > babies
Clone = different brand with similar/close smell
Lol it sounds like a course right now!
I don't know what's "indie" and is it the same as "niche" fragrance
ZELDA!!!!
What is an Attar..?
Arabic word for perfume. But in the west Attar means a perfume mostly 100% oil without any alcohol in it.
