Another French fragrance that is inexpensive but sophisticated & well made is Coriandre by Jean Couturier. I seriously bought a bottle in the past year for $18. It’s a Chypre so not for everyone but I like it.
I enjoyed wearing Rochas "Moustache EDP" two days ago. It can be purchased for a good price. To this kind of list, I'd add: Paco Rabanne "Ultrared Man", Moschino "Toy Boy", and Dunhill "Icon". Have you tried "Ultrared Man"? I like it myself.
There is a reason why I have four bottles of Bentley for Men Intense. It's a great fragrance. Another great frag that smells expensive is Mercedes Club Black (which I know you already have).
I don't have any budget type fragrances. But I do have some inexpensive niche fragrances that smell more expensive than they really are, my favourite being the Attar Collection fragrances - I have about 5 of them.
Make sure if anyone else goes for Moustache, get the edp as wasn't mentioned in the video. The original and the edp have almost the same bottle but they smell completely different. The ysl tuxedo version is the edp. Food for thought
Michael Jordan Legend, a surprise cheapie and a recent pickup. The coffee/woods/lavender aroma is actually quite good and if you happen to own Molecule 01, layer it with this. Comes out as an amazing combo, like a stronger more lasting version of Rochas Man.
I'm not sure about the recent versions, but I bought Legend from Perfumania around 6 or 7 years ago, and I get pretty good performance from it. It's reminiscent of my more expensive Polo Red Extreme. Perfumania's Parlux subsidiary owned the rights to the Jordan line and I think I bought it for $10 back then.
I bought 4711 Wakening Woods of Scandinavia (longest name ever) about 2 months ago and LOVE it. Its a cousin to Chanel Paris-Edimburg and it lasts a long time on my skin. Great buy. Many of the 4711 colognes are fun, wearable and great price/value.
Thank you very much! So many interesting choices! My favorite inexpensive fragances: Grey Flannel - Geoffrey Beene & Lattafa Parfum Raghba - Wood Intense
Thank you for commenting on the unisex potential of the Bentley fragrance! I've been curious about that and wanting to pick up a boozy fragrance, so I might give it a try.
Big fan here of Perles de laliqu. used to be one of my signature scents 13-15 years ago & I only stopped using it back then because some batches started to smell a bit sour & salty.
Thank you for your videos. I’m new to exploring fragrance. I’ve been interested for about three months. So many fragrance channels primarily focus on expensive fragrances. As someone who wants to get into fragrances, spending hundreds of dollars on a scent seems scary. I’m so glad that you are highlighting inexpensive scents. I told my friend that I’m going to be queen of the dupes. (I recently ordered a discovery set from Oakcha.). Now, I can be queen of the cheapies, too. If I want to try the real deal, I’ll order a small decant. I recently watched your video of you with The Nose Knows. You two cracked me up.😆 It was so good to see how the two of you LOVE your cheapies. Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for the fantastic list of affordable fragrances, and for mentioning unisex/feminine leaning also. I enjoy the various Elizabeth & James fragrances for a reasonable buy.
I would add to your list: Cabotine by Grès. It’s a French pharmacy perfume that used to be a high end product but that somehow got downscaled at some point. I get so many compliments when I wear it. It’s fresh and floral, great as a summer scent.
Jaipur Homme is an amber spicy fragrance from Boucheron. It’s perfumed by Annick Menardo, and it’s beauty and price point make it arguably the best buy in all of perfumery. I have the EDP, but I’ve heard that the EDT is also excellent.
Anotheer great list. I'm making a promise to myself to finally dive into some of the 4711 fragrances this summer. They have so many that it can be a bit daunting to jump into the house. Thankfully, you and I seem to share similar tastes so I'll certainly be considering your picks from this video as well as some others from your longer 4711-focused video.
Hey Sebastian, Great video indeed, Thumbs up👍,did buy verde recently from Notino, great scent,do have LA Martina ,Bentely👍,Oud Vsnille, actually do have all line from F.Olivier house cheap and cool perfumes, wishing you a wonderful day and upcoming week, . Greetings from SWEDEN
Bentley for man intense smells absolutely horrible 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Why is it overhyped by these reviewers is beyong me. Its like they're all in competition to stay in the game lol
I wouldn't say horrible, but I don't get all the hype. I immediately sold the bottle I bought without any regrets other than maybe pawning it off to another sucker.
I'd like for you to stop by my perfume studio so I can show you what absolutely horrible smells like. Like literally a goat in heat at the barnyard captured in perfume form smells absolutely horrible. But Bentley For Men Intense is horrible? And the reason it's overhyped is that it freaking smells great. I mean if you don't like this stuff why bother watching fragrance reviews? I don't get it. And while we are at it what exactly do you consider amazing smelling? And what do you consider xpensive smelling?
why not talk about the projection and how many hrs they last?... maybe we might go for the original juice if the original juice last and projects better

Bentley for man intense is a solid fragrance.
ebony wood a cheapie from zara that actually smells good with decent lasting power!

That will be in part 2! 😀
As a woman I have the club black and it’s ☄️☄️☄️ had to grab it on eBay for £70 but worth every penny
Mercedes Club Black is feminine but Bentley for Men Intense is in my top 5 fragrances, its so niche and boozy
Which batch do you got brother?Are the latest batches reformulated and are they lacking in performance?
I don't have any budget type fragrances. But I do have some inexpensive niche fragrances that smell more expensive than they really are, my favourite being the Attar Collection fragrances - I have about 5 of them.

YES
I’m starting to carefully stretch my dollars so thank you for this ❤️❤️❤️
Frag-Mental just put out a cheap fragrances that smell expensive video today. You should check it out! 😊

I can see this comparison!!
Thank you very much! So many interesting choices!
My favorite inexpensive fragances:

Gonna have to check out Sunny Seaside of Zanzibar. And Coconut Water & Yuzu since it gets compared with Virgin Island Water. 🥥
Wow, another cheap fragrances that smell expensive video released today! I am so happy! Frag-Mental just released the same kind of video today.
I have Perles de Lalique.. to me, it's a great dressed-up summer scent
One you should try is Ajmal Wisal Dhabab it's unlike any fragrance I've smelled.
Yay for La Martina Maserati! 🤍🌿
I’d add moschino toy boy to this list as well!!

Shaghaf Oud honorable mention. Complements whenever I wear it.
By Alvarez Gomez (Spanish brand): Barberia Agua de Colonia Concentrada. A great fresh cheapie which has a similarity with PdM Sedley.
Seb, you mentioned recently that the green note will be trending this year. How about a line up of fragrances that are best in green notes?
That Joop is excellent and costs very little.
I would add to your list: Cabotine by Grès. It’s a French pharmacy perfume that used to be a high end product but that somehow got downscaled at some point. I get so many compliments when I wear it. It’s fresh and floral, great as a summer scent.
Just purchased this -- I look forward to it!!
Jaipur Homme is an amber spicy fragrance from Boucheron. It’s perfumed by Annick Menardo, and it’s beauty and price point make it arguably the best buy in all of perfumery. I have the EDP, but I’ve heard that the EDT is also excellent.
great list! Victorinox, Lalique, Bentley for Men are awesome for their price. I would add Berdoues (and for women La Coste pour Femme or Shiseido Zen)
Interesting selection!
I do own Perles de Lalique. Thanks for the video Sebastian.

Definitely try the Wakening Woods of Scandinavia - it’s pretty incredible!
I found a Tuxedo dupe in TJ Maxx for $16, the bottle also looks similar. It makes a good car scent since I have leather seats 😃
What is it? And how close to the original?
The Rochas Moustache is terrific. A juicy, fruity, sexy, masculine smell and it lasts several hours with a few sprays (on me, anyway).
Great video and I enjoyed it and I like Bentley for men intense and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed night
la vanila - vanilla/coconut! one of my favorite scents and it's affordable! 1.7oz is about $40-50
Just found your channel, lucky me! Keep up the great work.
Patchouli Reminiscence
CK one Shock is an excellent cheapie highly complimented
Thank you for all the great alternatives! 💙💙
I do enjoy Ebony Wood by Zara

My picks - LIDGE and Cartier Declaration
Has anyone cloned OG Lidge yet?
I've had my Bentley for Men Intense for about 6 years now and I can't detect this expensive smell that people speak of.
I sold the bottle I bought immediately after. I don't see all the hype either.
Thanks Sebastian 2-22-2023❤
You’re welcome.
Thank you❤
Tendre Madeline, you mentioned reminds you of a Xerjoff...which one?
LIRA
I love Bentley Intense but it's not a safe blind buy. My wife hates it.
Excellent
What do you think of the Henry Rose brand?
It didn't really excite me when I sampled them in a store in NYC late 2019. But I haven't smelled anything after that. Will have to see.
lalique is luxury in my country
Amazingggg❤❤
"Black Steel" mmmm reminds me of Folsom street fair
LOL
Oh, goodness! I Googled this just to see. I blushed 😂.
Nothing like patchouli!
Bentley Infinite Intense
Bentley Absolute
Lalique the Lion
Dunhill Century
Are fragranceX and fragrancenet trustworthy and reliable?
I buy from them all the time I haven’t really had a major problem with them suffer leakage in wrong Fragrances sent
Aramis. Stetson.
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Can woman pull out Bentley for men intense? I wouldn't say so
Yes, I like to wear it at winter. And on my winter jogging 😂.
We need a pure female version of this video. I usually have a hard time with likeing male perfumes on me.
👍
🌹
Hi. Please use a better background 😅
Hi please stop complaining!
Does unisex = non-binary??
What type of question is that?? This is about fragrances, NOT PROPAGANDA!!
It looks like almost every man’s fragrance can be wearable by woman’s this days…😅
I think il just stick with Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent.

@Moe Feaux thank you. Bentley for man intense it's an overhyped fragrance. I bought it twice and both times i gave it to someone else
