Love the Guilty Black mention. I’m a huge fan of that frag. Performance isn’t great but you can overspray and not choke someone out. Glad you mentioned it despite all of the hate it gets.
L'homme and L'homme L'eau from Prada are both amazing, but once I got Water Splash in, it was all over for me. Water Splash is absolutely INCREDIBLE. I know a lot of people say it's redundant and smells very similar to L'homme L'eau, but that's why I love it so much. It's L'homme L'eau with the powdery vibe dialed down just a tad, and a beautiful subtle citrus in the opening all the way through the drydown that is magical. It's the PERFECT spring/summer scent. And it's so cheap for what you get! 5.1oz for like, 60 bucks! Come on now, it's a steal!
Thanks for adding the chapters to your videos! it might be a small detail but it improves the quality of watching it a lot when someone wants to go back to a certain part in the video
Recently got Prada as a blind buy and it’s definitely a refined elegant smell! I absolutely love this smell and it lasts forever too. Lots of people compare it to like an luxury detergent and that’s definitely what I’m getting from smelling it.
You have the best fragrance review site on RUclips!...really enjoy your comments...I saw a post you did a couple of years ago on "fragrance addition" and it is so true...its so easy to get into the "I just gotta have it" mindset when in reality you only really need to have 2 fragrances...whether for work or play or date...all you need is a hot fragrance and a cold fragrance....10 scents is a hobby...100 scents is an addiction ....keep the great reviews coming!
Honestly, who am I to tell, but i think that 10 scents is the sweet spot. U got a date, an office, 1 or 2 special occassion niche, summer, spring, autumn, winter. U are covered for everything
@@kcnl2522 True, very true. But sometimes you got to get to around a hundred so that you can whittle it down to your favorite (correct one that works for you) for each specific time of year/occasion!
Ash, honestly I began my fragrance journey with you and Jeremy Fragrance haha. But you have evolved so much that now sometimes I stay just for the comedy. Keep it up dude love your content.
I love this list Ash. All your picks are definitely ones that I would be on board with. But finally and most joyously I am so glad that you mentioned one of my absolute favorites and I knew one that you had really liked in the past montblanc Starwalker. Such a killer killer scent. Thank you.

Great video as always! Some of my favorites that didn't make the cut are Mugler, Salvatore Ferragamo and Narciso Rodriguez. A part II would be really nice.
Hey Ash..thinking you may want to try Absinthe from Henri et Victoria (A Canadian Perfumer)...to me....have you ever put a Licorice and Lime NECCO Wafer Candy in your hand and taken a whiff? Sweet somewhat, Powdery, Anise goodness...fabulous...
They’re both fine Some people will prefer one or the other, unless you want to buy both, don’t bother constantly comparing and worrying if you got the “wrong” one
Thanks for the great video, quite useful for a novice. Any plans on continuously maintaining some formal top N lists? I think looking back at something like that, chronologically, in future could be quite valuable for everyone interested in the evolution of the market.
Dude all these RUclips fragrance reviewers all they do is upload top 10 lists. You got nothing to worry about here. For a novice I highly recommend you go to Ashley in Paris’ channel and The Fragrance Apprentice for reviews - for lists I would go to Demi Rawlings. For comedy go to Cubaknow. Cubaknow takes the first 3 spots as the “best fragrance youtuber” - and then there’s everybody else
I just found 1 Million Lucky 100ml in the wild for $56 CAD ($42 USA) and snatched it up. I wasn't really into it but since it's discontinued, I couldn't resist. It's super sweet and in the drydown reminds me of Azzaro's Naughty Leather and I love that one, so it's a win at the price I paid for it.
I wouldn't hesitate to skip over the YSL Y line altogether because between Bleu de Chanel EDP and Sauvage Elixir, you are more than covered in better blues. For YSL, I'd recommend to La Nuit de L'homme and La Nuit de L'homme Bleu Electrique.
Its such a tragedy that Prada discontinued L'homme Intense.. Personally I think its better then L'homme and more refined.. Has a classier edge to it that can be worn in normal and formal occasions.. Definitely need to get another bottle.
The leather in Intense gives it a nice edge. It's a bit darker, mysterious, sexier. I bought a 100ml tester from foreverlux on eBay for $50 a couple years ago. I loved it so much after that first sniff I immediately bought another 100ml. With 200ml I should bet set for life.
@@0rokuSaki I agree 100%.. Its a leather that somebody who is just getting into fragrances will enjoy. Gonna hurt when I gotta get a backup bottle tho. Putting out the money people want now for it.. Gonna leave a little dent in the wallet but I think its worth it.
hey, love ur videos they are very helpfull :) could you maybe make a review on "Orodion" its a brand from germany and many people say its a nice choice to go with if you have a budget of 100-150€/$
I think Gucci Guilty gets far more hate than is warranted. It's up there with Eros flame as one of my all time favorites. Tried black, didn't care for it as much. As least based on how it performed on my skin. Guilty pour homme might not have great projection if you're looking for something to wear on a night out, but man is it a great fragrance for just hanging out inside during the fall and winter.
people always recommend Y EDP so I tried it... I really dislike the smell.. so people have to bear in mind to test first even if everyone says it is great
I ordered another sample just because of Ash to maybe reevaluate. And no. I get the appeal but these ambroxan bombs are just not for me. Bleu de Chanel all the way.
@@Memfys I see what you mean.. I tried Dylan blue and really liked the smell.. then I bought it and first times I used the Ambroxan was diff.. but then after few times I liked.. but Y EDP I disliked since first time hahaha
There is absolutely no problem with getting Prada L'homme Intense here in Germany. Although at around Christmas time there was a shortage, prices skyrocketed and everybody said it is being discontinued. There is no sign for that now whatsoever. So no F from me to the Intense. I actually prefer it over the Luna Rossa Black :)
Just picked up two bottles of Versace Oud Noir. Love it, but the tester version I picked up smells a little... rougher? Less sweet and a little spicier in a bad way, but not enough to ruin it. I don’t know why.
@@miguelcardenas2413It’s strange: I should say that I like them both , but that the tester does smell slightly different as I described. It’s very slight though, so it could be anything from the tester’s age to a possible batch variation. All I know is that the sample I have and the non-tester bottle both smell the same. All in all, if you sample it and like it as I did, I recommend the actual bottle. But it could simply be anecdotal and unique to my situation.
Oh totally. I have watched about 50 youtube fragrance channels and his is EASILY the best all around channel. He's such a decent guy, knows his stuff, he's consistent & yeah, no BS as you say.
Ah man starwalker. I love and hate it. The scent is really nice, but the one I got had no performance, I tried it out a couple of times first, was gone after half an hour. Then I got angry at it and doused my skin and my clothes with half of the bottle. The scent was gone after maximum 2 hours.....
D&G: Intenso Versace: Pour homme/Signature Dior: Homme Sport 2021 & Eau Sauvage Cologne Prada: Luna Rossa & L'Homme Intense YSL: Y EDP...& L'Homme Le Parfum Gucci: Guilty & Gucci by Gucci Armani: Emporio Lui, ADG EDP Paco Rabanne: Pour homme Azzaro: Chrome Aqua Montblanc: Explorer & Legend Night
Great video and choices, Ash! Starwalker is my favorite Mont Blanc! I bought it based one of your olllllld videos in which you review it. I’ve owned it and loved it since then! Also, I’m a sucker for Versace The Dreamer, so I would put that in there too. 👍
I think I'ma get JPG Le Male Le Parfum, D&G light blue intense, PLR Black n Rasasi Hawas...when I get richer I'ma try PDM Layton n Tom Ford Noir extreme
Definitely for the last two, really like the note breakdown for everything, cardamom amber, that warmth... anything that is close to la Nuit de L'homme n d&g the one
AHSEE is a "must have" as is YSL La nuit de l'homme (the OG). I've also come to love Gucci Guilty EDP Pour Homme (all black bottle) ... You also missed the Boss line of frags. Honorable Mention: if you can find this one ---> YSL La Nuit De L’Homme Bleu Electrique'
Love me some eau sauvage edp(2012 but 2017 will work), Dior does drop the bangers tho. Homme Intense is possibly the greatest scent ever made so I can’t fault you for that one. I’d have them both. Don’t shout at me but I’d take 1 million over lucky too 😬

Prada Luna Rosa black has been out of stock on several sites...like the link above
Tom Ford?
Where is Chanel?

There are so much more huge designer brands. Looking forward to see part 2 (and 3 and 4 ..😉).
Again great video. I really enjoyed that one.

Agreed.
Legend Spirit and Explorer are my favorite from Mont Blanc.

@@elijahthomson883 same here man 🦯
Agree completely about Starwalker. Mellow and so pleasant.
Most definitely a go to
Love Prada lhomme. Can wear it for almost anything. Great without being overpowering or divisive
This is one of my favorite videos. It made me think about gaps in my collection and led to some purchases.

Thanks!

Great video as always! Some of my favorites that didn't make the cut are Mugler, Salvatore Ferragamo and Narciso Rodriguez. A part II would be really nice.
Paco Rabanne Invictus Platinum is available at Dillards and Ulta.
What’s your favorite from the Givenchy Gentleman line?
Great video and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
Prada l'homme is definitely one of my favorite designer fragrances marketed to men. i love iris 💙

Longevity is amazing

I got Seven bottles in the box. Prada L Homme Intense. 2 are 5.0ml
I wonder why RUclipsrs always mention Sauvage as one of Dior's best fragrances but never mention Eau Sauvage Parfum. That one is infinitely better.
Sauvage EDT better Than EDP?
I finally bought one and I got the EDP, I see lots of EDT praise. 🤔
They’re both fine
Some people will prefer one or the other, unless you want to buy both, don’t bother constantly comparing and worrying if you got the “wrong” one

Should I still buy "Dior Homme Intense" even tho it's reformulated?
Nice list, may I switch your Invictus Aqua for Black XS?
Hope to see this kind of video soon with another brands. You know JPG is missing the list
Prada l'homme is actually totally available in Europe. I really dont think its getting discontinued.
Prada l'homme intense is also still available and so is bleu electrique
@@user-rj3qc2kx1i yup and prada luna Rossa black
Excellent idea!!! Cant wait to see more!

Epic video, super useful, love it!
Where can I sample/smell the emporia Armani stronger with you flankers? They never have them at Nordstrom/Macy’s or Sephora
Do you think hermes would release h24 flankers?
Stronger with you is definitely inspires by wanted by night.

Versace Eros Edt i really dont get the hype lasts for 2 hours. Wont be going back.
Is it true one million lucky will be discontinued? :(
Bleu de CHANEL 'parfum' also, such a awesome fragrance
Very nice list bro 👌
Please do a review of Polo Earth if you're able to.
Great selection
Had enyone tried American Eagle Real? It’s from like 2006 but for some reason it got me better lady’s reactions then ones that cost 150$ and over
Awesome review.
Great video again. I'd be very interested in hearing your recommendations on fragrances with incense.

I'm surprised you picked Eros over Dylan Blue. If I remember right you like iris, though, and Eros has that powdery note... So it sorta makes sense.
It’s nice when you already own all the recommendations.

No way 1 Million Privé isn't included, it's by far the best Paco Rabanne has made, shame its discontinued
No givenchy gentleman 😞
Dior Sauvage edt I always thought was boring and nothing special until the Parfum and to a lesser extent the Elixir.
One Million Elixir... coolwater intense... Sauvage Elixir... Versace oud noir EDP...
