As a newbie, it's just so funny when I put on some Initio (I like all the purple bottles, but High-Frequency fits me best) and everybody says I smell better than anything they've ever smelled. It's a fragrance that has changed my life. I'm kissing hands and shaking babies, yada yada, the whole nine yards. The point I'm trying to make is that instead of spending $360 (full retail) and getting two or three fragrances, I would rather have just the one either from PDM or Initio, heck, even BVLGARI... So furthermore, I enjoy these niche scent videos, I would love to see you review more of them!
Great video, G.O.A.T.! I wanted to wear a Montale today... But TH Impact & Cost. Nat. Scent Int. arrived. So I wore them--each 1/2 the day. Don't care for either!😂. Montale something (jingly-jangly) tomorrow! 😂 😊👍
Man, this stuff is so hard. I love Musc Ravageur but haven't been wearing it much so far this season. Haltane is amazing, too. I just bought Cape Heartache after meeting Josh Meyer at an event at Etiket in Montreal. I begged him to send me samples of a Whiff Of Waffle Cone since it's a Salt & Straw exclusive and he did me one better. Sent me a full sized candle and book of Imaginary Authors matches along with the 14ml mini. It arrived on Christmas eve. I'll try to narrow it down. The following are the ones I've been wearing the most so far... 10.Goldfield & Banks Purple Suede 9.Lubin's Akkad 8.Parfums De Marly Layton 7.The Harmonist Magnetic Wood 6.Franck Boclet's Tobacco 5.Initio Parfums Oud For Greatness 4.Parfums De Marly Oajan 3.Carner Barcelona's Megalium 2.Liquides Imaginaires Desert Suave 1.By Kilian's Angel's Share
Just got a sample of Carved Oud along with Oud Wood to compare. I honestly don't find them to be that similar, but either way, I love Carved Oud. It's a perfectly blended, smooth, creamy, rich, slightly sweet, spicy woody scent that is incredibly alluring. I plan on buying a full bottle soon.
You won't regret the purchase. I recently wore it while out doing my Saturday errands and a young lady (mid 20s) told me I smelled crisp. I hope that means she liked it. LOL
Great video and list Ash!! I’ve been obsessed with Saharian Wind by Mancera. Perfect for any occasion and any season, but I think it works better in the cooler weather. Be well Ash!
Hey Ash, great selection yeah, here are some fragrances I’m wearing right now, initio oud for greatness , amouage interlude black Irish, Henry Jacques Oudh glam or, Boadicea the victorious blue sapphire, amouage overture men, xerjoff Alexandria II, Ormonde jayne nawab of Oudh, Thomas kosmala no 4 , mancera red tobacco, kilian back to black etc and have a wonderful week peace ✌️
Nice review Ash. I have been wearing black wood from rirana alot lately. I just love it and I do get a few compliments here and there. Could you Please do a top 10 projection niche fragrance video. I'm thinking like Sultan vetiver ect ect ect. Thanks and love the Channel
I love seeing Imaginary Authors on here, I love them, but In Love With Everything I think was a top 10 indie/niche release from this past year and no one talked about it. It's not going to be amazing until Summer, but it's fantastic. And weirdly enough, it layers wonderfully with City on Fire. Also, coffee wise, Maison Tahite Coffee Bomb is the best new coffee scent in a long time, no one talked about that one either.
I recently picked up two from independent fragrance house Sfumato - Arcanum and Mocha Valentino. Both beautiful winter fragrances. Both coffee and tobacco fragrances. Would love to hear your take on those or anything from the house.
Arabian Tonka by Montale is fire. Unfortunately it seems that Montale does not send free bottles to reviewers so no one is interested in mentioning them.
Just purchased Oud Curv and Haltane for winter. Ur opinion on Royal Tobacco from Amouge? Thinking about blind buying it since I haven’t been disappointed yet.
Wish you'd do more niche videos and off the radar/discontinued fragrances. Only really watch these types of videos and your extra gents scents channel nowadays
I feel like Halfeti is a winter holiday type fragrance. First time I tried it, I just thought it smelled a bit like a Christmas tree with some other wood.
Whats up ash , great video love your content. Serious question I hope you can steer me in the right direction. Where can I or where do you purchase fragrances online from oversea stores? There are so many niche I would like to get and found out that some can be cheaper if brought from overseas. I'm still looking for Dior parfum lol at a reasonable price. Any info would be great I highly appreciate it. Big fan stay blessed thanks
Depends what you’re looking for. Musc Ravageur is a lot more spicy. It has a lot of clove (so you have to love that note) it kinda smells like a musky/animalic cinnamon pastry with a bunch of clove on it. It’s not as mass appealing or easy to wear as Grand Soir, but it smells more unique and interesting. Grand Soir is just a very light and very vanillic amber. In the air you mostly get these sweet vanilla wafts with a hint of resinous feel, up close on the skin it smells a bit sweeter and more resinous. Honestly, they’re both incredible, some of my favourite scents of that style of all time. That being said, sample them first. Way too expensive to be blind buying, and whilst Grand Soir is safer than Musc Ravageur, neither of them are blind buy safe. So grab a couple of samples online first and see which one you like best. 👍🏻
@@SirSillageSniffington very insightful. I’ll test them side-by-side. I’ve always read they’re quite similar. Happy you mentioned some differences, wouldn’t mind owning both.
Great video and I enjoyed it and I like imaginary authors Cape heartache and by kilian Angel's Share and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day
@@dhakametro5914 cold area, no sunlight, no humidity or changes in temperature. I keep mine in the basement and no sunlight hits them. Don't keep it in your bathroom if you take showers in there.
Frags like Awake I don't like because they make me smell like I spilled coffee on myself. I love the coffee note but not when its the prominent note also because it's cheaper just to pour some coffee on myself.... ha. Just saying.
@@marinko1862 That sounds very odd. are you sure you’re not just going noseblind to the scent? Naxos always 100% lasts until 2 days later on my clothing.
You should shave off everything and leave the mustache. I think you'd look better, give it a shot. Ive been a huge fan for years. Keep up the great content.
I have been loving Haltane and Carlisle this season. Haltane really is an underrated gem in the community.

Xerjoff guy this winter, enjoying iommi, starlight, alexandria ll, golden dallah, mamluk, and of course naxos.
PDM Carlisle is my scent of the day and it’s a beautiful winter fragrance 💪🏼
Great video and list Ash!! I’ve been obsessed with Saharian Wind by Mancera. Perfect for any occasion and any season, but I think it works better in the cooler weather. Be well Ash!
Been wearing Xerjoff Starlight and Uden a lot. PDM Oajan is up there, too

Finally!!! Someone talking about Akro Awake!! Hands down the most hyper-realistic coffee in a frag I've ever smelled. It's just addictive.
facts
Roja frags are nice, but just like Creed they're of a quality of half the price.
Nice review Ash. I have been wearing black wood from rirana alot lately. I just love it and I do get a few compliments here and there. Could you Please do a top 10 projection niche fragrance video. I'm thinking like Sultan vetiver ect ect ect. Thanks and love the Channel
Great choices bro!
For me, it's been Jouney Man, Naxos and a bit less A City On Fire. They are all great in their own way.
I can say that angels share is my fav of all niche it was love at first sniff 😅

Have you tried Follow and the new Followed from Kerosene for coffee fragrances?

Yessirr 👍🏽

I have Cape Heartache and like it okay. I just never really feel the need to reach for it.
I feel like Halfeti is a winter holiday type fragrance. First time I tried it, I just thought it smelled a bit like a Christmas tree with some other wood.
Anyone know a discount website that sells givenchy gentleman reserve privee, having a hard time finding a website where it’s not sold out
If you have interest in my bottle, (used less than 20 sprays), message me on IG....same name.
Kerosene followed is unreal

Interested in that roja one but definitely wont be getting it from twisted lily its way cheaper everywhere else
can you wear layton as a 20 yr old?
What brand is your shirt from???
hi sir Haltane perfume how much
Caught up; should I get Musc Ravageur or Grand Soir, or both? 😅
Depends what you’re looking for.
Musc Ravageur is a lot more spicy. It has a lot of clove (so you have to love that note) it kinda smells like a musky/animalic cinnamon pastry with a bunch of clove on it. It’s not as mass appealing or easy to wear as Grand Soir, but it smells more unique and interesting.
Grand Soir is just a very light and very vanillic amber. In the air you mostly get these sweet vanilla wafts with a hint of resinous feel, up close on the skin it smells a bit sweeter and more resinous.
Honestly, they’re both incredible, some of my favourite scents of that style of all time. That being said, sample them first. Way too expensive to be blind buying, and whilst Grand Soir is safer than Musc Ravageur, neither of them are blind buy safe.

In regards to my collection, for daytime winter use, I like Layton, Side Effect, and Ombre Leather.
Great video
Thanks!
Does this 53 Interlude have that very proment note of oregano ? I just couldn't get along with that note.
Aoud Exclusif By Mancera 🔥🔥🔥
Angles' Share 🔥- I've got a nice scent memory tied to it, I wore it to a Joji concert. Every time I smell it I hear, "eAY BoSs" 😭
Habe you seen an alien pleas?
Calvin Klein euphoria amber gold
Niche and indie,my jam.
Does perfume expire?
If kept correctly it shouldn't.
@@63Jax how can keep correctly?
@@dhakametro5914 cold area, no sunlight, no humidity or changes in temperature. I keep mine in the basement and no sunlight hits them. Don't keep it in your bathroom if you take showers in there.
@@jimlittle5769 thank you 😊
Anyone a fan of Xerjoff Ivory Route?

Let me know how much the dry cleaning cost.😂
I'd be a happy man if I was only allowed to wear Musc Ravageuer for the rest of my life.
Angel's Share = Great Scent!
As impressive as these new releases are, I’ve just been using the older releases. Top of my most used is Tuscan Leather, Naxos and the KING! Carlisle
Naxos does not last on me😭. Like few hours only
No pr9jection at all,maybe because its 2022 batch
I see you have a sweet tooth.
@@marinko1862 That sounds very odd. are you sure you’re not just going noseblind to the scent? Naxos always 100% lasts until 2 days later on my clothing.
@@memento_mori_22 Tuscan Leather is more on the Amber/leathery side. Sweetness isn’t really it’s main accord. Carlisle and Naxos on the other hand 👍
Please. Review. Fragrance world . People say that awesome
👍👍👍
No here it’s also axe
