Just recently picked up Le male elixer and i absolutely love it. Warm, sweet, sensual get those hints of vanilla a tad of tobacco, bits of lavender and its just so nice to wear and i say definitely worth the money only second to dior elixer only because dior lasts a bit longer stronger and its a different mature scent
Just smelt Le male elixir, I’m only fourteen and new to this hobby, and I just couldn’t get passed the honey in it. Thought I would like it bc of all the hype, but it let me down.
@user-kl9zw9uf4r Spend some time smelling many more fragrances. Give time for your sense of smell to mature. Your sense of taste with food and beverages will most likely change as well. Then, come back to this fragrance.
THAT Terra Nova is so fire honestly i got all of them yesterday and I'm extremely to type that all of these smells great you killed it mad i missed one but great job bro
I liked the video for including Rain Essence and Spicebomb Infrared EDP. Their ranking leaves a lot to be desired but its your list and your rules. Personally, i wouldnt rank clone fragrances over originals even if the latter is deemed boring or basic especially when the former is a known brand that makes copies which is definitely not original.
I brought this year, Luna Rossa Ocean EDP, YSL Myself, Zara Desert Sand at Sunset. and planning for Boss Bottled Elixir and Jean Lowe Immortal, Guerlain - L'homme Ideal Platine Prive, JPG - Le Male Elixir
Huzzah! Just picked up all four of your scents for $60 in the 15ml & 10ml size. The GENTSCENTS code gave me a whopping $0 off but I see why, as $60 for all 4 is already a heck of a deal. I'll be buying full bottles of the ones I like to support.
Hi There 🤗 Awesome Collection Indeed ❣️ My favourite designer fragrances of 2023 are # 3 Armani Acqua Dio Gio Parfum # 2 JPG Le Male Elixir # 1 Ralph's Lauren Club Elixir ❤ Also honourable mention to both Guerlain fragrances mentioned in this review 🙏 Both Are Fantastic 😍
Unlucky the Magnetic got announced late last year and did not make the top 10 last year and neither this year as is a 2022 release tehnically. I love Magnetic, imo it’s one of the best of the line.
I’d like to see 1 M royal in a better position. Already had it and finished the bottle so fast , cause I used it a lot. Blind buy for sure. Nice video 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
But still there is a hint of sweetness isn’t it? When I compare it directly to Sauvage, it is a little sweeter. Still focused on the spices though. Or it is just a feeling. But I‘m with you: I love it so much it was my christmas scent this year and I don‘t regret it🤓
Depends on what you can afford and whether or not you like Oud fragrances. Many people start their niche collection with Mancera or Montale because of the price.
Perfection for me is dulce diablo and narco oasis.... My old lady bought me a sample of both for Christmas only 2 ml of each but makes me want a bottle of ether
My bottle ALTHAÏR has definitely maturated since I got it. At first the scent was’t as dense, nor did it last that long. Now it’s borderline beastmode. I’ve even heard reviewers say that club black is stronger which is laughable, but they based the review on a sample.
Boss bottled elixir was my first blind buy I’ve ever regretted. Way too mature for my style. Invictus victory elixir is my favorite fragrance of the year.
definitely NOT a compliment beast as ash said lol i got a sample of it and had to wash it off with babywipes and sanitizing wipes. its probably something id wear when i get to being 55 years old. theres better options for us young guys than boss elixir. that was my worst blindbuy too, and that was just a sample
@@krispybowgod9656 @sumgi1537 that’s the same vibe I got is that this is something an old guy would wear. I just felt weird walking around smelling like that.
Mr. Gent Scent I do have a question for either yourself or the fragrance community. Still slightly new collecting etc but I just got got a new bottle for Xmas, it’s a Eau de cologne spray and if I’m not wrong, that’s not a super high concentration compared to like a EDT even and especially EDP..but in order from least concentration to most wouldn’t it be, Eau de Fraiche, then you have the cologne spray, then EDT & EDP etc?
Yes. There aren't many Eau de Fraiche Men's fragrances that I'm aware of. It would be more like a very light refresher. You are correct in the concentration order: Eau de Cologne Eau de Toilette Eau de Parfum Parfum and Extrait de Parfum are kind of used interchangeably, I think. Elixir doesn't really have an official concentration, but they are usually around EDP concentration. Just because a fragrance has a higher concentration doesn't mean it will be stronger. Sauvage EDT is stronger than EDP. Also, concentration isn't the only difference. When a fragrance line puts out a new flanker, they often change some notes. Hope this helps.
Can someone help give me advice, please? I'm looking for advice considering what fragrance/fragrances I should buy next. Personally, I have used many sweet fragrances because I'm 14 and these tend to smell great on my skin, some of these sweeter fragrances are Le Male Elixir and Invictus (I bought Invictus before learning everything about fragrances, however, I still do like the bubble gum-like smell to it). However, I have also worn other types of smells such as citrusy with Club De Nuit Intense Man, I enjoy the coconut smell of Le Beau Le Parfum being one of my favourites I have worn this summer (I live in Australia) and I also have Le Male Le Parfum, Bad Boy Cobalt EDP and Dior Sauvage (don't use this one too much, I think its too common and it was given to me as a gift). Additionally, I wouldn't like to spend more than AUD 250 ($170 USD, €154 Euros), as I have an income of around $100 per week. Additionally, I smelt Spicebomb Extreme and it didn't sit well on my skin being too harsh and spicy for my liking. I listed all my fragrances in this comment btw. TLDR - 14yo looking for advice for the fragrance he should buy next that's no more than AUD 250 ($170 USD, €154 Euros). Thank you :)
I just got Boss Bottled Elixir today after having sampled it a few times. It's by far my favorite designer release of 2023. Le Male Elixir is a close 2nd but I'll wait to get it in 2024 .
I enjoy Boss Bottled Elixir. It smells different and offere amazing performance. It's so potent 2 sprays is all you need hence I got the 50ml bottle. I admire how bold the perfumers were and came up with something that smells unique and nothing like the Boss Bottled line.
Luna Rossa EDT is horrible off my skin. Has a grandma with BO vibe unfortunately. However the EDP is completely different and one of my most complimented scents.
after smelling the new creed i was like hmmm smells like dior sauvage elixir and aventus. not worth 500 at all in my opinion especially if you have both the scents
I remember after Guerlain L’homme Ideal Cologne got discontinued, I went on a cruise and on of the islands I saw a 50ml bottle for $20… and I passed on it 🤦🏻♂️ What the f*ck was I thinking?
Althair to me, smells like an orange vanilla root beer float, definitely don’t really like it, it’s just kinda of a weird combination to think to myself and say “today I want to smell like an orange root beer float”
I cannot stress enough how Boss elixir was a complete let down and WAY overrated for my nose. I got caught in the hype and blind bought because I usually like Boss products. Not this one. DO NOT BLIND BUY.
My top 8 favorite of the year is, 1. JPG Elixir 2. PDM Altiar 3. LV Pacific Chill 4. Invictus Victory 5. million Royal 6. YSL Y Intense 7. Hugo Boss Elixir 8. Gucci Gulity Elixir and 3 I wanna try and possible buy is Valentino born in Roma Intense, Prda ocean Edp and Spicebomb Infrared Edp
I forgot Hugo Boss the scent magnetic but it would properly be number 9 but all in the top 10 are really nice smelling fragrance its really been a great year
lol I keep telling people just put your email into the notification for discounters. When the Jean Lowe frag gets in, they’ll let you know. Don’t buy it for resale

for the price of Absolu Aventus you can get Sauvage Elixir and Hacivat and layer them together... and it will smell better :D (and stronger)
That’s an interesting one 😮
I have both I’m going to give that a shot lol
@@6.2Savage tip : not one on top of another, but on different spots on the clothes / skin
You CAN and it will certainly smell different and have better performance but "better"?
I guess thats a matter of taste.
🤔I’m trying it!
Luna Rossa Ocean is amazing, and that touch of iris is so nice. If you enjoy iris fragrances, you gotta put your nose on it.
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day

Is Le Male Elixir getting the Bleu Electrique treatment from JPG? It is out of stock at a concerning amount of places right now.
I sure hope not. I need a backup bottle 😅

Great video Ash! I can’t justify Creed prices. Just can’t.

Unlucky the Magnetic got announced late last year and did not make the top 10 last year and neither this year as is a 2022 release tehnically. I love Magnetic, imo it’s one of the best of the line.
Althair and Le Male Elixir are gonna be battling for the top spot long term. Those were some home run releases. They landed in the 15th row
Hi, what's your opinion on Boss Bottled Elixir?
My son got the LR ocean EDT for Christmas and he loves it. It's pretty classy for a 10 year old
The dupe of Aventus Absolu is spot on for $33. I would even say it’s better because it’s an extrait. Usually out of stock but it’s a killer fragrance.
What is “the dupe” , does it have a name
@@Cooliewhistles Poseidon’s Absolu Elixer
I’d like to see 1 M royal in a better position. Already had it and finished the bottle so fast , cause I used it a lot. Blind buy for sure. Nice video 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Boss Bottled Elixir totally stole the show for me this year. They came at the Elixir idea from a totally new, NON-sweet direction.
But still there is a hint of sweetness isn’t it? When I compare it directly to Sauvage, it is a little sweeter. Still focused on the spices though. Or it is just a feeling. But I‘m with you: I love it so much it was my christmas scent this year and I don‘t regret it🤓
@@Tom-B when I compare it to basically every flanker called an Elixir, it ranks at the bottom of the list for sweetness.
@@wynonasbigbrowndragon6121 Yeah that’s right. But still… a little sweetness is there to my nose
Was thinking bout getting into niche should I get oud satin mood or oud for greatness first heard great things about both
Depends on what you can afford and whether or not you like Oud fragrances. Many people start their niche collection with Mancera or Montale because of the price.
But who am I to talk? My first 2 niche fragrances were Aventus and Green Irish Tweed 😂
Perfection for me is dulce diablo and narco oasis.... My old lady bought me a sample of both for Christmas only 2 ml of each but makes me want a bottle of ether

Boss bottled elixir was my first blind buy I’ve ever regretted. Way too mature for my style. Invictus victory elixir is my favorite fragrance of the year.
Same. Same…. It’s not only the scent being too Smokey but it’s the power. Even 1 spray is crazy potent
definitely NOT a compliment beast as ash said lol

@@sumgi1537 the fact ash is saying it has huge mass appeal really has me questioning if his nose even works after smelling fragrances 24/7 for years.
@@krispybowgod9656 @sumgi1537 that’s the same vibe I got is that this is something an old guy would wear. I just felt weird walking around smelling like that.
@@krispybowgod9656 thought that was just me when he said that lol
Bvlgari Man Rain Essence is the opposite of mediocre.
Yes it is simple, but really awesome. One of my favourite in the line.
Gray vetiver is perfect
Le Male Elixir completely deserves the number 1 spot, best designer release in the last couple years!
Overrated
Why do you think that?
Edgewater: The Honeycomb (Zoo), West Loop: Union Station...(coordinates) is this right?
Where is Cartier Pasha Noir Absolu??
I honestly think it's much better than le male elixir
I like Rain Essence
It is really great, don't worry about what Ash says.
Great job
I prefer bad boy extreme to victory elixir. Very similar though.
Mr. Gent Scent I do have a question for either yourself or the fragrance community.

Yes. There aren't many Eau de Fraiche Men's fragrances that I'm aware of. It would be more like a very light refresher. You are correct in the concentration order:
Eau de Cologne
Eau de Toilette
Eau de Parfum
Parfum and Extrait de Parfum are kind of used interchangeably, I think.
Elixir doesn't really have an official concentration, but they are usually around EDP concentration.
Just because a fragrance has a higher concentration doesn't mean it will be stronger.
Sauvage EDT is stronger than EDP.

I must have a weird sense of smell. I prefer Luna Rossa Ocean EDP to Sauvage EDP and Bleu de Chanel EDP.
Jean Lowe Immortal has a new competitor. Fragrance World Jacque Yves L'Infinite'.
You did Joop! Homme Le Parfum by Joop! justice. Still, I am sad that I am not seeing it, because of being 2022, of course.
Luna Rossa EDT is horrible off my skin. Has a grandma with BO vibe unfortunately. However the EDP is completely different and one of my most complimented scents.
Lol num 1 I bought it when it was released
But i like the Le male edp black one
Does FragFlex Ship to the US?
Yes.
How is Luna Rossa Ocean a new 2023 fragrance? That came out in 2020-21 or so
The edp version
Awesome video Ash
How come your fragrance is not in this list?
Name a few of the best places to buy for international buyers, especially from mother Africa. Very easy to get ripped off here in the third world.
When do you think the giveaway winner for Edgewater will be announced?
Boss Bottled Elixir should be higher, I would say top 5 instead of Althair.
after smelling the new creed i was like hmmm smells like dior sauvage elixir and aventus. not worth 500 at all in my opinion especially if you have both the scents

Infrared Edp is actually the opposite. More of a mature take on the edt dna.
I’m a sucker for myslf man, idk it just freaking works
Conceited much?
Little joke there...Myslf is nice!
I just got my first cologne for Christmas it was Versace Eros eau 😁
Eau de toilette or eau de parfum?
Gucci Guilty Elixir came and shat on everything at the end of the year.
Not boss bottled elixir 😂😂
Althair to me, smells like an orange vanilla root beer float, definitely don’t really like it, it’s just kinda of a weird combination to think to myself and say “today I want to smell like an orange root beer float”
I’m shocked that Gucci Guilty Elixir is not on the list anywhere
Time stamps please!
Ash why don't you ever show your full fragrance collection in a video and talk about it? Is it an I.R.S. situation 😉??
Wow
Hi ash
Shout out to this guy for talking about the same fragrances day after day and still getting views!!!!
Le Male Gold is crazy gone this Christmas none could be found ...crazy
I bought one 125 ml😊
U all fell for fragcomm hype
Guccis version of le male elixir is better
Is it me or is frag flex more expensive
wow those bottles are dangerously hanging around the edge of the table.
😂😂
Fragflex prices are too high
Clone will always smell cheap and synthetic, rather buy original’s decent.
I cannot stress enough how Boss elixir was a complete let down and WAY overrated for my nose. I got caught in the hype and blind bought because I usually like Boss products. Not this one. DO NOT BLIND BUY.
Gentleman society love the vetiver and vanilla I think it better than the other Gentleman’s but I can’t stand wearing Iris
Althair had to macerate like a clone 😂
I hate 90% of Tom Ford stuff. Maybe Im a lunatic?
What I'm always looking for....a mediocre fragrance 😂
I like Le Male Le Parfum more rhan than Le Male Elixir.
new batch literally smells like a citrus abomination, nothing like imagination
That line up looks terrible . Hopefully the content can redeem that thumbnail 😂 just keeping it a buck 💯 Chuck
Keep shamelessly promoting you ctreavily directed fragrances,Ash 😊
