    Bought a 200ml bottle of D & G Light Blue Eau Intense a couple years ago due to all the hype. And it does smell great! But it gives me a dull headache each and every time that I wear it, so I rarely do.

    • @ytsux9259

      In my case, it's the JPG Le Male. When I smelled it in a department store, I loved it! Bought it home and wore it a few times, it gave me a headache EVERY TIME. At first I thought it was just unhealthy bad days, so I tried it about 10 times, headache EVERY TIME! I gave it away to a friend whose favorite fragrance is it. Other people seem to love it too. It's one of a very few fragrances that gives me a headache.

    @johnborges5938 2 года назад +15

    Blind buys are a cost of doing business for you, Ash, but for ordinary casual collectors, I've figured out after a few years that it's almost always a mistake. Except in cases where just I can't get a sample for less than a big portion of the cost of a bottle, I never blind-buy now. I have too many bottles of things I can't abide, and at least in my state, you can't even donate an unsealed bottle of cologne.

  • @bryanryan4504
    @bryanryan4504 Год назад

    I have had a few regrets in the past but for some reason, recently i have been coming around to appreciating and enjoying them. For various reasons.
    Epic man Amouage bought it due to the bottle. Most beautiful bottle ive ever seen. Nothing epic about it though, it smelled merely of scented water and cumin to my nose. I let it sit for a couple months, abd it was still the same. Almost a year later, the fragrance opened up it seemed and it is richer and has a balmy note i havent noticed before. It is a respectable fragrance now but still not one of my favorites but not a regret anymore.

  • @Jtdubbzz
    @Jtdubbzz Год назад

    I’m kinda surprised to hear Ash doesn’t like Fan Your Flames but also not surprised. Yes, the quality is definitely there and at first I was very impressed with it but after more wears and as I became more accustomed to the notes I realized I didn’t like it either. Mainly because of the toasted coconut and cedar combo. Very natural smelling but almost too toasted, there were a few times I wore it and it smelled more charred than toasted which was not a pleasant smell. Unfortunate.
    Kalan on the other hand I rather enjoy and it’s right up there with some of my most complimented fragrances, surprisingly. However, it’s very strong and bold, not one I reach for very often so getting through a 120mL bottle will be next to impossible for me. Autumn is the best time to wear it IMO so maybe I’ll put a dent in it this year!

    I'm new to the fragrance world but my first blind regret was Versace The Dreamer. I was so sure I would like it but when I tested it it just smelled like cold flowery cigarette ashes. Like walking into an old motel that used to allow smoking and had some kinda floral cleaning chemical sprayed inside. I don't think it's awful but it just smells so weird for me and definitely not my style.

    I agree on the Prada Eau Sport. I actually got that one by accident, not realizing there is a Sport (the one I wanted) and an Eau Sport which is different. It's a kind of a clean laundry scent but mine was so watered down, it was an instant skin sent and undetectable. I even wore it outdoors in the 85 degree heat and got about zero performance out of it. So in the trash it went.

    Hands down the worst thing I have ever sprayed on myself. I regretted doing it after the very first spray. I had ordered a split and was so excited for it to arrive, while I was waiting for it to arrive I went back to the website and ordered the last split that was available, thinking I was so smart. When the first package arrived with the first split, I opened it like an animal, I immediately put a spray on my wrist and, instantly regretted doing so. It oversprayed onto my coat. I ended up having to take my coat to the cleaners. When the second split arrived, I tossed it in the corner. It is still sitting there unopened, and will remain unopened, until the day I die.
