I really like Bentley for Men Intense and Ferragamo F Black. For me they delivered.
Cedrat Boise is a gorgeous scent. For me, the opening is a bit lemony pledge but settles down nicely.
For me, it was Layton and detour noir. I got a sample of Layton and loved it, but I couldn't justify the price tag at the time. Got Detour Noir, and on my skin, I get that menthol smell. Something that the real deal never gave me. Started only spraying it on my clothes where it was much closer in smell.
Terre d’ Hermes edt blew my mind when I sampled at a Sephora. Truly a masterpiece
lasts longer on my skin than most edps
I just tried it and I love it. Need to try Parfum too
Parfum is even better. Terre D'Hermes definitely grew on me. Love the entire line.
@@CampCrystalLake unpopular opinion
@@maxiprenger1993 So what?
Im reallly liking how in these last videos, when you are calling out a note, you put a picture of what you are thinking of.
Cedrat Boise gets mad compliments. It's probably my wife's favorite fragrance I own.
Cedrat Boise killed my dog.
It smells like old person to me
@admirallightningbolt Davidoff Zino smells like old person. Cedrat Boise is mature and sophisticated.
Smells like an ash tray for an hour then sweetens up lol I have it but even my girl said I smell like smoke
Can’t do it. Something is in every single mancera that just doesn’t sit well with me
Man I remember trying Bentley intense and hating it at first. I thought it smelled like an old lady at first but after a while I started to crave it and now I love the stuff… I really like to layer it under Montblanc Individuel… it’s one of my favorites
Had a similar experience with missoni wave, smelled it in the bottle and it made me nauseous. Now I love it and it wears really well on my skin 👍😁
This happened to me too with Layton and Layton exclusif.. 7:59 I go back and forth with both and like both now.. I heard maceration with frags actually change it alittle or what not idk. Either way. It’s grown on me and I like it
Great video Ash! 🤘
Tried Cedrat, thought it was just ok. Instant crush i loved. Roja Elysium isnt all that to me either. Kinda soft. Oceana, same, there been more hyped frags that haven't wowed me, but cant remember at the moment
I blind bought Cedrat Boise and i was so disappointed. However it grew on me and now absolutely love it.
Ganymede is really a love it or hate it scent. Theres nothing wrong for others to be part of the hate because this is not mass appealing. But im willing to bet someone who doesnt like it will eventually dip their toes into niche quality perfumes and revisiting Ganymede will make them a believer especially with the best mineral note in perfumery
Bleu de Chanel EDP surpasses my expectations but Dior Sauvage EDT didn't meet my expectations.
Compared to Le Male Le Parfum, I prefer Prada Luna Rossa Black. The vanilla in Le Male Le Parfum is too harsh on my skin. Prada is so smooth. I also prefer Stronger With You and its flankers over spicebomb extreme.
CEDRAT BOISE - I did not appreciate this scent at first, it wasn't my jam! Now I absolutely love it, wearing it right now, it's one of very few frags I've had multiple people ask what I was wearing so they could buy it! It's a fantastic fragrance ❤
It grows on you. It's one of those weird ones you keep going back to even though parts of it didn't work for you. Pulls a lot of compliments too.
Haven’t tried the OG, but sampled Cedrat Boise intense. For me, on my skin, it is mainly a Smokey leather. Wasn’t the summer gem I was looking for. Always sample
It was the same for me with Cedrat Boise Intense, but OG Cedrat Boise smelled like it wasn't even related to Intense on my skin, lighter, brighter, fresher, different from what I expected, but amazing. Maybe get a sample of the OG, I wouldn't have tried the OG if I had only had Intense at first, but luckily I got both at the same time.
2:00 somehow it smells similar to Amouage Epic but with fraction of Epic’s price. Less monstrous than Amouage for sure, but I’m Loving it
Cedrat Boise I have heard so many times people being split about. I find it matters a lot what season you wear it. Sometimes it smells smokier and sometimes it smells sweeter. Sometimes more vanilla comes out and sometimes more general fruitiness comes out. It is really temperature dependent.
Cedrat Boise and most of the Montale and Mancera frags just don't jive with my body chemistry. It turns to mothballs when it hits mid on my skin and it's the mid that people like the most
Got more leather on my skin
Yeah and also they it's a summer fragrance and tbh I don't get it lol
I pretty much love all of the fragrances listed in this video. 😂 I love Cedrat Boise. I will be wearing Red Tobacco in the colder months. Another love it or hate fragrance, I think. 😊
Nah, Red Tobacco is only for those special indoors summer occasions when you need to make a _lasting_ impression. :P
@@FrancisFjordCupola 😂🤣
I wear DHI to the toilet, in a train, on a house, and even with my eggs. This is my top 5 frags to wear everywhere. I get so many compliments each time. Thanks Ash, it's a must have.
Cedrat Boise was an instant no for me. Has this woods that overpowers everything else in the fragrance. Dont blind buy any
Cedrat Boise is one of those frags that smells different to yourself on skin than in the air. I was catching an amazing musk scent at work and realized it was the cedrat boise that had rubbed off on my work vest from the day before.
had the same thing happen to me! was smelling cedrat boise at work ONE DAY after i wore it and thought someone else was wearing it too 😂😂
Nice video. It would be nice if you could do a video about fragrances that are very similar so that we could try them and choose only one (e.g. Dior Homme Intense, Valentino Uomo Intense, and Givenchy Gentleman). So that we could avoid buying fragrances that could be consider somewhat redundant.
Add Narciso Rodriguez Bleu Noir Parfum to that list🔥
I’ve never tried Bentley Intense, but I’m a layering guy and I layered Bentley for Men Absolute (6 sprays) with Lattafa Woody Oud (3 sprays) and crazy compliments.
The first time i tried Mancera Cedrat Bosie i hated it. Came back a month later and im in love with it
I was expecting more of Spice bomb extreme and tried blind test with some friends that didin't like it too.
I 100% agree with everything the guy said about Mercedes Benz Club Black. That was a love at first sniff for me and probably my best blind buy purchase ever.
I like the original Mercedes Benz for Men. Loads of grapefruit & bergamot. I was wearing it yesterday. Fantastic longevity. I don't really worry about projection or sillage, as those aren't the reason I wear fragrances
Went in to Macy's to buy Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme. Didn't like the drydown, so I bought the OG Allure Homme Sport and love it. Terre D'Hermes EDT-loved my decant, but only like the bottle. I must have enjoyed the weaker atomizer on the decant
Same extreme has too much tonka bean. Og is better.
Bentley for Men Intense is extremely similar to Monsieur by Frederic Malle
It is fantastic for that price point; it is actually slightly more wearable than Monsieur to
I wore Bentley for men intense and a female coworker complimented me on it. I asked her to rate and she gave it an 8.5 out of 10. It isn’t my favorite but it fits my personality and I really like the dry down.
Isn't too strong for work?
@@miguelmatias2549 Not really. I imagine by the time I make it to work it has made its way into the drydown. This was 6 months ago and I would actually recommend Dua Jazz or Naxos for a masculine work fragrance. Dua Jazz is just like Jazzclub but in Extrait concentration and lasts longer.
@@PsychiatricParfums thanks for the recommendation. For work (depends on the conditions/temperature) I usually wear Dylan Blue or Armaf CDN Iconic (Bleu de Chanel clone)
9:08 this is a trip.. I just said something on here about how he new Ganymede extrait.. and here you are talking about Ganymede 😂
Overhyped fragrances that didn’t meet my expectations was Tom Ford Oud Wood. My co worker begged me to but that over Noir Extreme and I am so happy I didn’t listen. I tried to put it on and wear it whenever I seen it on the shelf and never could get with it. At first, I thought the same was true with Aventus but as I kept wearing, and with the cologne out I love it now. But oud wood….yea no thanks lol
Nearly everyone else loves AFNAN Turathi Blue but even after a longer time of wearing it, i personally don't like it. The opening is too harsh for me.
It's more like trying to make the bottle finally empty
Bentley intense is gorgeous. Addictive.
Cedrat Boise.... after 4 full wears It got me eczema on my skin and don't like the scent..... zero complements. May be I'll use as car freshener
Cedrat boise is top 3 comp getter for me easy.
I loved F black when I smelt it
I'm still deciding do i pull the trigger and get cedrat boise 50/50 some say it's awesome some say it smells like a cleaning solution 🤔
Recently bought Rasasi Hawas and I feel it may be over hyped. It’s suppose to be a powerhouse in projection and performance but it’s not the case for me smells nice and citrusy but as far as everything else it was just a let down couldn’t smell it after a while on my arms and wrists only inside of my collar where I sprayed it on my chest
I agree with that not powerful at all but, may increase as the bottle gets older.
YSL L'Homme Bleu Électrique, hyped as a 10/10 fragrance. Blind bought it and it's just ok.
Prada L’homme Intense just came back in stock on FragranceX this morning for the first time in ages, alas I didn’t wait and snapped up 100ml of L’homme L’eau recently instead, and I still have a 50ml of original L’homme. I can’t justify another 150 bucks out the wallet for it, even though I’ve wanted it for ages and there’s no knowing when it will pop up again…
Intense Cerdrat Boise for me is a failure. For extrait...should be strong as vinegar but in 3h is gone. Smells amazing. but for the performance and the price...noope !
I need to get my nose on The Harmonist Hypnotizing Fire, I've been hearing 10/10 reviews and I dunno if I should pull the trigger.
I received my L'Homme Ideal edp yesterday and I was thrown off by how feminine it smelled on the very first spray. However, after 5 mins or so it turned into this smokey dark cherry-like masculine scent that I've never smelt before. It really is growing on me to be honest. I'd say you'd have to be over 30 to appreciate its' elegance. I'd say sample it first only because it's not that cheap ($90 is what I paid) unless you got the money. I am happy with my new cologne and I can't wait to wear it this coming fall. I also think this is the perfect scent for the holidays 🎅
I got it & I’m 27, it’s not about age but how mature your taste is in frags
@@Jack_Jake I agree. But generally speaking.
I can relate with this. It's really overrated. Most people just got it because it was pulling compliments, not that they actually liked it.
It's like a masculine version of La Petite Robe Noire.
@@290revolver290I think it totally lives up to the hype for me.
Parfums de Marly Layton .. smelled it cause of the hype Finally & it was Even better than the hype 🫡
I've only really "blind bought" two fragrances solely based on 'hype'.... Bentley for men Intense and Ferragamo F Black. I love both and both worth the hype!
Both my first fragrance 😅
Missoni Parfum smells waaaaaay better than Missoni wave to me lol
Totally agree. I only use Wave when heading to the gym or the beach. Parfum I like way more,..I feel that if they had tweaked it just a tiny bit, it would have been an absolute hit fragrance.
Same here. 👍
Paco Rabanne Ultra Red was disappointing for me. Having seen your review and recommendations on it I expected it to be long-lasting like angel man but sadly it doesn't last more than 2 hours off my skin. It just sits on my shelf now because I don't know what to do with it. So disappointed 😞.
Unrelated but a question for everyone. I'm new to this and just fell in love with light blue. I've got intense and the original should I go forever or sun next? Is the coconut noticeable in sun?
Dont blind buy neither, next time you are shopping at the mall spray one on and at the end of your shopping you will know if its for you. Summer Vibes is nice too.
Bentley Intense For Men = MASTERPIECE
Bentley for men intense is great BUT overhyped and is so unwieldy. The way the fragrance community has hyped it for years makes you think you could wear it every day but you absolutely cannot. Only special occasions and not for everybody. There are much better daily fragrances from Bentley like for men absolute.
Agree BFMI is a hype beast and I would say it's very well done but I definitely can't stand it either. Pretty well put.
I guess the scents need to breathe once opened. Some need to macerate with time.
I have given a handful of scents away because they were just not to my taste.
Especially even over time and repeated use.
Khamrah deserves the hype, i love it
It's special for sure.
I'd rather smell Khamrah in the air than AventAss, Baccarat Rude or Instant Flush a million times over 😂
Bleu elctrique for me.. Smells great, but I can't find the scenario for it where I won't reach for something else. I've had my bottle for a year, and I can say if I wore it more than twice. Maybe I need to try harder.
If you want to sell it let me know haha 😂
Exactly the same for me. My bottle remains full.
@@turdbglr if any of you two are ever selling it , let me know 👍🏻 you guys have a gem in your collections
@@Jack_JakeGivenchy Gentleman Reserve Privee is a fragrance that I rarely wear for the same reason,or for similar reasons.
Got a sample of Ganymede due to the hype. Smells like nothing I own and nothing I’d ever wanna own as well. So off putting to my nose but I do see why some would enjoy it, if that makes sense.
Armani AdG Profumo - didn't do anything for me . Like Bentley Intense, reminds me of an amped up version of the original CK Obsession
❤❤❤❤❤TERRE D' HERNES IS A MASTERPIECE❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Khamrah lived up to the hype. I need a backup.
Did not live up to my expectations: Moustache: Smells like pepper bomb. Not big on patchouli. Eylsium: dead fishes. Missoni PH: NOT remotely BDC. Oud Wood: first smell was feces. Second smell was dark dry wood. Now i'm just meh on it.
Sometimes I wonder if I got a bad bottle or something. I have a Missoni Wave and a Bentley for Men Intense that just don't smell how people describe them.
I'm still not convinced Missoni Wave is worth the hype. Missoni Parfum Pour Homme is, though. My Bentley for Men Intense sample didn't impress me either. I think it's well done, it's just definitely not blind buy worthy and definitely not for me.
Elysium: absolute scrubber for me. Opens with grapefruit then quickly devolves into vetiver. It smells like a wet, musty sock. I’ve tried to make it work but I absolutely hate it. Would be willing to trade.
Seriously, it got so much unanimous hype that I considered a blind buy. Luckily I just happened to be buying a lot of samples that day so I tossed 5ml a sample of Elysium in my cart. It smells like I found it at Ross. Even if it cost $30, I’d still rather buy a random Armaf fragrance that I’ve never heard of and hope I get lucky
Whether you like the dna of BfMI or not you must admit that for the price it is very impressive. I personally love it.
Un Jardin sur le nil
Mancera Oud Lemon Mint
GIO Profondo

Missoni Wave is a cheapie banger! Let my friend tried it and sprayed him up, he had a 20 ft scent trail!🤣
Le male Le parfum is one of those fragrances that can cause diabetics to go into shock. The sweetness in that one is really pushing the line. Thankfully the line is really flexible.
CDNI opening is so metallic. I gave it away. The guy i gave it to loves the opening.
Choose only one,
Creed Original Santal vs Azzaro Wanted by Night
Keeping one thing as the number one priority,
Cinnamon?
If cinnamon is the number one priority, Wanted by Night; however, as much as I love Wanted by Night, overall Original Santal smells better IMO.
Missoni wave just did NOT do it for me.
I stuck with Versace pour homme
Encre noir extreme and eros flame were two I was disappointed in.
Bro! Prada L`Homme intense is BACK!!! I just got me one.. They told me that the ingredients were not available. I’m living in the middle east🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I wore Detour Noir all last week. My wife told me it smells horrible and I should stop immediately. I was so shocked.
Thats what you with cheap clones
That stuff is a compliment magnet for me. Wife is being a hater lol
@@gprince7953 it was so weird. I've had it for a while. She did initially say it smells like "Vicks", but people have spoke about the menthol, Eucalyptus opening with that and Layton, so I got that, but I was really shocked whith what she said. Makes me want a bottle of Layton to see what she says.
I get heavy menthol with Detour as well but don't mind it. I have a Layton sample and a detour bottle, and having worn them at the same time, one on each arm, they're very similar but perhaps Layton is more "well blended" as they say. I'm planning on ditching the Detour for a full bottle of Layton soon.
Ash, you nailed it when you said you expected the Encre Noir line to be heavily mentioned. Tried the OG and the Sport version and the two of them compete for the worst scent I’ve ever worn. Felt like I was wearing essence of mothballs.
I feel the same way about Encre Noire and its flankers. Mothballs outdoors...🤮
I put my EN in...the bottom drawer...the not wearable 😢
Try layering it with CDNIM. Makes it wearable.
@@nickkovalenko2891 layer Encre Noire with Club De Nuit Intense Man? I have to try that but which one goes on first or that doesnt matter? Only asking cause I dont layer my fragrances and dont even know if it makes a difference what goes on first...
I am surprised at the dislike of the EN line. I understand not liking the OG or Extreme as they are earthy. The Sport version is so easy to wear, fresh and clean. Makes this hobby interesting all the different opinions.
Ash, please review the new axe body sprays. It’s my favorite perfumery house.
You should send in your collection to get roasted 😂😂😂
@tommyf6576 yah I'd like 2 see what His reaction was 2 that request ? Axe , that is just 2 funny 😂
... are you joking, or... ? I mean, no offense but that's like asking a Michelin chef to review your gas station spicy chicken 'n swiss sandwich.
@@40KoopasWereHere in His defense , axe Phoenix smells awesome !!
Bentley for men intense is just horrible, inky chemical spray 😢. Just got this bottle today.
(Edit) tried this perfume again this morning and it’s grown on me, I like it. It’s a different vibe to what I have been used to but it’s not bad.
To me it has a harsh petrol note that I did not care for. Its actually much sharper than gasoline to my nose. Close to kerosene.
ADG profumo i bought it blindly as it is really hyped , but i didn’t like it and returned it(:
Dude I'm broke most of the time the peeps in Sephora shoo me. 😅 Swiss Arabian, Arabian Oud and Abdulsamad Alqureishi decimates my savings evertime they hild a sale in my place.😆
I love my cedrat boise then new batch aventus. Armaf cdnim limited edition smell exactly like aventus and better longetivity. Dior home intense is the best I have, in my opinion its far better then all my niche. Montale intense cafe few years ago hyped so much, and I copped but I think its not worth the hyped..
Sorry for bad english
F Black was hyped by Jeremy 😅
I have 8 fragances, and of those, Wanted By Night and Montblanc Explorer are the only blind buys, ironically, Explorer became my favourite and Wanted By Night the only one i dind't like, i gifted to a friend actually, my girlfriend didn't like so much also.
The only fragrance I have ever gotten that I hated initially, and still hate, is Versace l’homme.. besides that, I have come to appreciate everything else I have personally purchased
I initially hated club de nuit intense man edp, but a few months later I put it on again and it became my favorite lol
@@K4inan that is still one I want to try. But haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
@@Notsafefromkids It's just a more basic version of Dylan Blue.
I don't like neither Dior homme intense, sauvage edt, PDM layton, D&G light blue, mfk BR540, Tommy impact intense edp, or Armani code absolu etc...
I think ysl la nuit de l'homme and bleu de chanel smells ok, but are still way overhyped.
But there is some frags that actually deserves the hype like D&G the one edp, Xerjoff naxos, lira, and italica, YSL tuxedo, Versace Blue jeans, and man eau fraiche, widian London, and Creed aventus for example.
I remember using Dior Sauvage Edp for the first time, I thought 😱 Fa-ah what kind of fragrance it was, as if 2-3 different colognes or perfumes 🤢🤮 were mixed, and then Johnny Depp and so on. As time passed, I felt real power and masculinity, which greatly complemented my image, I remembered the Dior advertisement where Johnny at night in the desert in tattoos and wooden bracelets refuses him. I thought, "Yes, this is the way to go" 👍😎🖤🏴☠️💯
I'm always reminded of bus stops in Britain when I think of Johnny Depp and Sauvage together. Almost every bus stop advert of Depp prompting it got vandalised to say Sausage, and it made me laugh every single time I saw someone had done it.
And many call it that, by the way😅 Sausage 🤭💯
Prada Luna Rosa Black - I can barely smell anything after 5 sprays... idk what I am missing here
You been roped off
You can buy Prada lhomme intense on Prada’s website in USA for $130/100ml
I'm disappointed in SUITS ... I ordered it in 2024 but gives me a headache...maybe I need to trade
F black and bentley for men intense are the most overhyped..i sold my f black bottle the 2nd day after getting it..
I tossed F Black in trash after 1st wearing . First time ever done that !
I hate cedrat Boise... But I love cedrat essence
It was Cedrat Boise, Dunhill, and Bentley for me that I did not like when I got samples but they grew on me a bit after time but I’m still not a big fan
And aqua di gio Profumo is available again on armani beauty website again as of 7/19/23 in USA $174/4.23 OZ
I use my bottle of Prada lhomme intense to collect ambient dust while I wear the far superior original L’homme.
Describe how prada lhomme smells ?
cultural differences is perhaps the reason for extreme results. for example a north east asian might not like over powering fragrance as their body scent could be different from southern asia, south eastern asia, europe , oceanic, or america.
in my opinion, that is why frangrance which try to market in northeastern asian tends to wash down the concentration and the performance.
BMI?!...Heresy! I was not found of Davidoff Zino after hearing repeatedly how luxe and classy it was. I only get raisins and medical gauze from it..maybe a bad batch
Zino smelled like old fruit scented potpourri on my skin absolutely 😅
Zino should have been called Old Man.
The worst two hyped frags are toy boy and Bentley Intense in my humble opinion..lucky I didn't blind buy them.
What don’t you like about Bentley intense
I got a 5 ml missoni wave tester after seeing so much hype.. Was utterly disappointed.. It is so generic like a lot which came before it
Blue Atlas Atlantis smelled amazing but the performance was more disappointing than any scent I've ever owned.
Tell me about Pure XS by Paco Rabanne. I got the 100ml bottle blindbuy and not for me really. My girlfriend said if I continue wearing this she will measure a 2 meter distance with a stick😂😂
XS night is the frikkn bomb !!
Agree 100% with your gf - smells like stinky tree sap to me - wretched stuff. It's one of the few colognes I've wanted to scrub off my body ASAP. Luckily, I got a small sample and didn't blind buy.
I blind bought PDM Sedley, disappointed to say the least. My wife didn’t like it either
That's too bad man. I got it in the mail, sprayed it on, walked into my wife's office and she was like 'Wow, that's fantastic. What is it? I haven't smelled that one before'. True story.
Bentley Intense - I'm ambivalent on that one, I don't dislike it, but I don't like it either. It's just there. I do agree it's high quality though, especially for the £15 I paid.
CDNIM - Not a fan, but I don't like Aventus either so I don't like any of the Aventus 'tributes.'
Detour Noir - No idea, I've never smelt it, I do like Leyton though.
Dior Homme Intense and Parfum - DHI is a masterpiece, Parfum, I can take or leave, I'd always pick Intense over it.
Cedrat Boise and CBI - The former is great for a niche starter, the latter I prefer but after my bottle is gone I won't buy it again.
F Black - No idea, haven't even tested it, one bad Ferragamo put me off the house forever and it's not a brand I see anyway, I'd have to search for it.
Missoni Wave - Smells really cheap to me, had a tester, didn't even use up the 2ml.
Ganymede - Hadn't heard of it until this video.
Stronger With You Absolutely - I only like Leather in that line.
Mercedes Benz Club Black - Reminds me of By The Fireplace, which I have, so I've never owned MBCB.
Terre D'Hermes - Masterpiece. Was my signature scent for a long time until it got really popular. I prefer the Parfum version over the EDT though, I know most are vice versa.
Versace Dylan Blue - I don't like it, I don't like any Versace fragrances, something in them disagrees with me. Eros Flame is OK.
Acqua Di Gio Profumo - I prefer Profundo, but all the ACD are legendary.
L'Homme - Reminds me of YSL Y Parfum, which I have, so I don't own the Guerlain, I don't like having too many things that resemble others.
Wanted By Night - I detest it, it's cheap and nasty smelling to my nose, definitely one that I bought purely because of all the hype and I was hugely disappointed with how much I hated it.
Prada L'Homme Intense - For me their best, although I do love Luna Rossa Carbon too.
Le Male Le Parfum - I don't like it, reminds me of daft young lads in the early 00's, one of which was me, too similar to the original. Ultramale, now that I like, it's far enough removed from the teeny smelling Le Male for me to enjoy. Le Male and LMLP in my mind are there with Joop as babies first fragrance.
I finally got SBOY by Draco (after it floated around in DHL's system for over 3 weeks 🙄). Bought this as a blind buy because of CurlyFragrance's rave reviews. Honestly, this stuff smells like Johnson's baby powder. It straight-up smells like I successfully changed a diaper and now baby is happy, I dunno. Maybe I need to give it some more wears, my nose isn't all that refined.
On the flip-side of that, blind-bought "Via Cavour 1" by Xerjoff because of Eau d'Erica's rave reviews. I wore it on my first date. Now I have a girlfriend and I have to buy a new shirt because she stole mine
That’s why blind buys are a hit or miss.. I consider getting a sample of sboy too. Try it in different weather and see if you like it more or not or maybe someone compliments you on it.
I've got a lot of compliments from women wearing sboy by draco. The price was pretty high but if you're looking for compliments it'll work for you.
Some of Curlys hyped ones are just enjoyed by Curly 😂 i wouldn't like smelling like a diaper either 🤣 I had an unfortunate effect from narciso rodriguez bleu noir edp that she hyped up on my skin it turns into a female sweat body odour smell, obviously she's a woman and probably doesn't get this effect, the bleu noir extreme edt is fresher and don't turn to female sweat body odour smell it's a better one for me but she still recommends the edp i think she wants us men smelling like female and baby diapers 🤣
i´m a hit or miss if i dont like it the first time i wont like the 2,3,4,5 time
I used Versace Man eau fraiche, I still think it’s a crazy fresh stuff, but trust me, Armaf Aura fresh got me more reaction and compliments and more long lasting than the Versace Eau Fraiche 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
