I keep passing ove Molecule 01 cause for the price it's like 😩 this much just to layer with. I know people like it on its own too but just wish it would drop to a more reasonable price. And now all the molecules are like +patchouli +something
Davidoff - Hot Water was a blind buy for me 10 years ago, and it's been my go to everyday fragrance during the fall/winter since! The only drawback is the longevity for most but for me it lasts 8+ hours, i can spray it before work and still smell it when coming home!
Love that you addressed Dolce G. The one. I thought it was just my bottle that was "weak". Smells great, but like you said, isn't very strong. Thank you.
Woooo!! Starlight got featuredd!! Probably one of my all time favs from Xerjoff. That cardamom is insaaaaaaaaanneeeeeeeee, and it smells like a million bucks overall! 🔥🔥 Edit: Ayyy, Ash agrees too! 🤘🤘🔥
Awesome list. The Azzaro frags and SWY are obvious winners in this category. I especially love Starlight, Coral Fantasy, and Hero EDP. Really looking forward to some cool days to rock these.
I recently blind bought mercedes benz club black and its everything I've heard it to be. However, I also recently blind bought liquid brun and I gotta say, (although not the same) they remind me of each other and every time I wanna wear something in that vanilla category, I reach for the liquid brun. It just has that something extra.
The Most Wanted is a tough choice, because the Intense version is a lot more versatile and I could see it being worn more often, but I like the smell of the Parfum more.
Re: "making sense to sample" - to minimize cost, get multiple samples from one retailer. The shipping cost of a single sample will be about the same as that of one order with ten (10) samples. Make a list of what you want to sample. When the sample list gets to 5+, find a retailer that covers your list.
That's exactly what I did. I wanted to try one million lucky so I found the site with that one for the cheapest price then researched a bunch and wound up with 9 different ones to try out and I'll buy a bottle of the ones I like the most. It comes tomorrow 😀
i really enjoyed this video, great selection! but honestly, i'm not sure about the whole blind buy idea. sometimes it feels like you're just throwing your money away on a whim. i think it’s better to test fragrances first, especially for fall when scents can be really personal. what do you all think?
Blind bought Prada L’Homme Intense and Stronger With You Absolutely (this one I got yesterday) and I absolutely love them! On the other hand, I blind bought a sample of Nasomatto Pardon, Les Indemodables Vanille Havane, Blonde Amber by Clive Christian and I absolutely hate them (I guess sampling might not be considered blind buying but I put them here anyway)
The only thing I will say with Stronger With You Absolutely is that I own Azzaro The Most Wanted EDP Intense and to my beginner nose, those 2 smell EXTREMELY similar to me which made me slightly disappointed because I felt like I got a redundant fragrance… but in terms of scent, it is AMAZING
Tuxedo, Xerjoff Alexandria II, Killian Black Phantom, Xerjoff Naxos, Killian Intoxicated, Vilhelm Chicago High, Mind Games French Defense, LV Ombre Nomade, Jo Malone Velvet Rose and Oud are my current fall/winter lineup.
I think Prada Luna Rosa Black is phenomenal. Rather being similar to Bulgari Man in Black it is what you'd get if you could take out juicy dose of spicebomb edt thats in Man in Black. What you end up with is a very much less complex, less spicy, less colorfull and less busy scent and yet one that comes as a complete package. It is warm, it is sweet, smooth amber and inviting vanilla. That can be enough if you do it right as Prada has done here.
All my Fragrances are Blind Buys, I rely on videos like these to make my decision because Japan has a very small amount of boutiques and beauty shops that sell fragrances, it's getting better but Japan before HATED fragrances unless it smelt clean like what you'd get from laundry detergent or body soap
I know a lot of people bash it but how was Replica Jazz Club not on their? That is by far my favorite fall/winter fragrance and I get nothing but compliments every time I wear it
There are two other months besides fall and winter. Not sure why the audience can’t understand that. Missoni Wave and CDN Milestones are great blind buys that can be all year daily scents.
Definitely one of my new favorites, it’s super smooth and sweet/spicy and the tobacco note is awesome- if you have a Sephora near you, I’d definitely try it out
Lucky is only available in the U.S. There was a time when it couldn't be found, and seemed discontinued. But it's been available in the U.S. for the last couple years of so
I have the following: 1. Aqua Di Gio Parfum (2023); 2. D&G Light Blue Intense; 3. Bleu De Chanel Parfum; 4. PDM Percival; 5. Spice Bomb Extreme; 6. Afnan Supreme Not Only Intense; 7. Al Haramain L adventure intense; 8. Loewe Cobalt 7; 9. Mancera Cedrat Boise Intense; 10. Chanel Platinum Egoiste; 11. Gisada Ambassador Intense; 12. Hawas (OG freshie). How would you round off my collection?
I used up my original bottle of The One EDP from 2015 about a year ago, and I just blind bought Mancera Hindu Kush. Is it just me or do these two smell really similar in the mid? Albeit I haven’t smelled The One in almost a year, and I’ve only used the Hindu Kush once.
@@yanisyns6427Dior homme intense smells the best of the group.. and uomo intense is better than all of them. Don’t shoot the messenger though just my opinion. If you like Dior homme intense, GET the Valentino over the Dior parfum and Prada lhomme intense.
I was wearing Azzaro TMW Parfum last Fall… early October… cool enough. Anyway… My ol man told me I smelled like a girl.. haha.. Too sweet for him. I still think it’s ok. The OG TMW is probably better… spicier.
I have probably 15 bottles of fragrances right now, and I'm only disappointed with Moschino Toy Boy. It gives me headaches and I can't sell it because no one wants it
I own LR Black and I really like it, but it has a weird 'aftersmell', once you smell LRB (and it's in your nose) all other fragrances smell completely different than normal. I don't have this with any other fragrances, anybody else experienced the same with LRB?
I live in the US more specifically CA, I’m able to find 1M Lucky at every Macy’s I go to and a couple of Sephora’s & Ulta’s… it’s also still available on their website Rabanne. However, it is harder to find on discounters. FragranceNet is your best bet at finding out of all discounters but even then they only offer the 50ml version from time to time. Hope this helps
I’ve bought all my frags based off all ash’s opinion that’s 12 for 12 so far
This content is goated. You asking the hive mind for input and then giving your educated opinion on it is great!
I blind buy all my fragrances. I never disappointed. Even if i am disappointed, i am not
They all eventually grow on me lol
Was disappointed in my Lattafa Oud for Glory blind buy… WAS. I love it. I’m gonna wear it all fall and winter. It matured nicely.
I layered Molecule 01 under The One the other day and it was blasting loudly off my skin for 7-8hrs. Amazing performance.
I’ve never had a major issue with The One EDP… or edt for that matter.
But point taken..
Me either @@houseadams4841

Mercedes Benz Club Black is a great hidden gem. My teenage son stole my first bottle so I had to get another
I blind bought Layton and Sauvage Exlir….zero regrets they are incredible and my two favorite gems!

Who else blind buys all their fragrances? 🙋
👋
Practically all 105, I like to live dangerously
Almost all lol
Its what keeps it exciting
I love the thrill. Some hits and some miss like horribly misses 😂
the accords for the most Wanted are INCORRECT!!!!!!
The One and Club Black are the best on that table.
Love that you addressed Dolce G. The one.
I thought it was just my bottle that was "weak". Smells great, but like you said, isn't very strong.
Thank you.
The one edp works in all 4 seasons ,it's a must have if you're 25 and older and into fragrances .
Woooo!! Starlight got featuredd!! Probably one of my all time favs from Xerjoff. That cardamom is insaaaaaaaaanneeeeeeeee, and it smells like a million bucks overall! 🔥🔥 Edit: Ayyy, Ash agrees too! 🤘🤘🔥
Been a favorite of mine since i got it, top tier blind buy
Been so interested in trying it since I saw the notes but I wanna test it first
I blind bought Jean Lowe Immortal, LV clone. Fantastic dupe.
Awesome list. The Azzaro frags and SWY are obvious winners in this category. I especially love Starlight, Coral Fantasy, and Hero EDP. Really looking forward to some cool days to rock these.
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
Can’t go wrong with red tobacco and Most Wanted!!!
Just blind bought Spiecebomb Extreme. Can't wait to smell it :)
I love it. After it drys down it is my favorite.
I have it as well, the dry down is magnificent
@@ScentBlast I’m gonna wear it a lot this winter. I also enjoy my one million royal and jpg le male elixir
@@nathanyoungblood6031 Stronger with you Absolutely is on my list next :)
@@ScentBlast I haven’t tried that one yet. Have you tried the one million royal?
Warren g reference 😭😭
I find Coral Fantasy and Intense to be pretty similar, however I also like the Intense a bit more. They are different, yet similar.
Super surprised Versace Eros Flame wasn’t on this
I recently blind bought JPG elixir/Azzaro MW edp / YSL Y / Naxos and so far zero regrets 😅
How does naxos compare to jpg elixir?
Pasha de Cartier - the booziness is perfect for fall/winter
Those little dances, i know all too well about that. It is both involuntary, untill noticed. Then it becomes voluntary😂

just tried goldfield and banks silky woods. reminds me of it but possibly even better... worth a try if you like club black
can you show off your collection of colognes i love your videos i used to watch them in spanish a lot

Yooo sick Coffee World t-shirt!! I love Alan Wake
Holy cow, the atomizer on your MB Club Black looks like the greatest atomizer in the world compared to mine!

Hi Ash, c
Can you make a video about the best coffee scent?
Intense cafe, golden moka, la tacita de cafe. You're welcome.

With great power comes great versatility
Mercedes Benz Sign is one of my favorite fragrances
don't see this mentioned anywhere but for my nose luna rossa black and Armani - Eau De Nuit are extremely similar, love that dnk
Can’t get over the odd shampoo type smell I get off of the one EDP. Nobody else seems to smell it when I bring it up though.
My best blind buy thus far has been Mancera Intense Cedrat Boise closely followed by Aoud Lemon Mint. Worst? Soliel D'Talie.
Some great frags in there!
The Warren G regulator reference was Gold 🔥
Tuxedo, Xerjoff Alexandria II, Killian Black Phantom, Xerjoff Naxos, Killian Intoxicated, Vilhelm Chicago High, Mind Games French Defense, LV Ombre Nomade, Jo Malone Velvet Rose and Oud are my current fall/winter lineup.
That’s a really fun rotation 👍😊
You getting money to have those, lol I like it.
Niche niche and more niche! Way too expensive for the vast majority of people
Also guess red currant and balsam
I like being surprised..if it doesn't perform it gets sent to the rest room.. RASASI yumn and Ibreeze were blind buys I enjoy..
Tight
Banger List Right here!! 🙌🤙🤙
I've always got great performance from the One EDP.

It’s hard to go wrong with xerjoff butbto blind buy one is a huge gamble lol. Expensive fragrance to blind buy, but xerjoff won’t do you wrong
I blind buy all my frags, gotta risk it for a biscuit. Only one duff one and that was MB EUB.
Thank you Ash.
Blind bought Prada L'Homme Intense. Just sent it back today. It made me sad...like a funeral
Yup. Nothing like the OG.
Santos de Cartier a real hidden gem
I blind bought iver 85 fragrance in last 2 years and probably missed on 10 which become xmas gifts.
I read thumbnail as Mus Towns - and thought where’s that?
You should review ‘I am the King’
There are two other months besides fall and winter. Not sure why the audience can’t understand that.
Missoni Wave and CDN Milestones are great blind buys that can be all year daily scents.
Months?
I’m about to blind buy coral fantasy
Don't unless you like fragrances that are at least 50% harsh, polarizing tobacco. It's not super youthful either...
To me it smells like the apple cinnamon air fresheners. The glade ones.
Go for it, it’s definitely worth it!
To me it smells like fresh cut wood.
Definitely one of my new favorites, it’s super smooth and sweet/spicy and the tobacco note is awesome- if you have a Sephora near you, I’d definitely try it out
what about spicebomb extream???
Not until now but going to give it a go based on this. See how I get on?
Is Burberry London unisex?
14:08 is that a shot towards Chaos’ new decant business 😂
Glazed chestnut as a scent note.
Have you ever smelled a glazed chestnut?
1:09 love red tabbaco
Jpg le male elixir is such an underrated fall slammer
Benz Club Black is my GOAT
Wait. One Million Lucky isn’t discontinued??????
Not too sure exactly, some frag creators say it is & others say it isn’t
Maybe on discounters… but it’s still available at Macy’s and their website Rabanne. Some Sephora’s and Ulta’s too

I got 5 of them, that means you got taste ;)

Probably. Literally like 90+% the same.
I was wearing Azzaro TMW Parfum last Fall… early October… cool enough. Anyway…
My ol man told me I smelled like a girl.. haha..
