if you are on a budget and you want something similair to Lacoste white L12, then go for Swiss Arabian Pure instinct.. it costs you 50% less with way better performance..
More important than compliments is that a fragrance is non offensive particularly in social settings. The focus on compliments is silly since only a few compliments but what MOST people really think we'll never know and there is a reason why most people don't wear fragrances. In other words wear it for yourself but be mindful of not offending others who may not share your passion.
Anyone tried Armaf Hunter & Aura Fresh? They're compared to compared to Lacoste 12.12 & Versace Man Eau Fraiche. Wondering how close they are to the OG.
Much luv on the Lacoste plus the bottle is cool too, and don’t act like y’all don’t care bout the bottle cuz you know u do. Oh and eau fraîche is literally one of my favs!! Stuff just smells fresh and clean
@@richparkinson9647 I'm pretty sure it's because Kenneth Cole frags don't get much love from the frag community. Black, Black Bold, Copper Black and Blue are others I own and will always have them in my rotation. I have niche and high end designer discontinued stuff and will always find a spot for KC frags next to them
Yes, the Faconnable Regatta is great. Besides the smell, I appreciate the bottle itself, frozen glass combined with aluminium. For the price, it's an absolute banger.
Yeah that's the only real reason I've never bought a tester. I have trust issues that something won't arrive the same as it was shown in the online listing.
How's it working for you tho? I've been thinking of getting it in July for my summer vacation haha. Here in Serbia it's around 40 bucks for a tester bottle. (The retail bottle is currently not available in the Europe market, not quite sure why)
Nothing wrong with that, Escentric Molecules do not put caps on their fragrances, I have Molecule 01, 02 and Escentric 01 and none of them have a cap, they’re not testers.
Im glad you like the newer Polo Blue cause I know you really dislike the original. BUT, have you smelled polo blue sport (in the white bottle?). Its minty and the most different in the line. (Biased also cause my gf LOVES when I wear it)
Hey Ash: what year/edition was the YSL L'homme fragrance you were talking about....that was discontinued way back around 2013 but was much stronger/longer lasting than the new formula...? was it 2014/2012? i am looking on ebay for it but need to know.
some are saying the formula was one way from 2011-2013, then reformulated for 2014-2015, then 2016 on is the not so long lasting version.... do you agree?
He shouldn’t do one every day. Less is more. He’s still the best out there but wondering how long before he puts on a white suit and does some one armed push ups.
you mentioned light blue italian love. I really really want it but I cant find it anywhere online to buy it!! any tips? its getting harder and harder as time passes as well
Hey gents, any of you have fragrances you opt for on RAINY summer days? Sure, a nice aquatic feels great on a sunny scorcher. But smelling like water when it's wet out? Not so much. Would love to hear some input
Idk about other ppl but if I wear one of my fragrances I try to match it to the vibe of the day or event I’ll be attending, so yk you wear different fragrances depending on what your doing and so imagine if it’s raining it’s cloudy and dark outside and not shiny so maybe something dark perhaps
@Thomas Gonzalez I see what you're getting at, but prior to reading this I opted for Montblanc Explorer 😅 Has that fruity freshness but with a light woody spiciness to warm things up just a little bit. And, of course, it stopped raining as I got outside. Still wet and cloudy though and I feel like I made the right choice
I have the OG version of Y EDT, and I think it's better than the new formulation. Those aldehydes just make it pop. Plus it's more summery cuz it's not as dense as the new version.
@@kinoby6352 Nordstrom rack store currently has the 100mil bottle for $60. And last year they had them for $40 I guess they were making room for the new formulation.
hey scents, ash‘s friends here with gents
evil gents scents be like
La Coste Blanc is underrated (with respect to attraction).
I just purchased a bottle and got complements similar to YSL La Nuit De L'Homme. 👀👍
I bought a sample and wasn't mesmerised. Just floral, nothing great in it for me. Maybe sillage is gr8 to people who smell it
Can you do a video on fragrances that you once liked and now you don’t?
Lacoste L12.12 EDT? May as well splash water on it’ll last longer.
I love Polo Blue. I use in the Medical office everyday.
I just bought Lacoste L12 L12 and it smells phenomenal. Only problem is it doesn't last long at all.
Hunter Men by Armaf (brown bottle), is a clone that lasts longer.
No it does not. You can bathe in, not going yo matter. Wear it to the gym.
french panache l12l12 is the best. dunno if it's discontinued though
@@jordanrtty23 This! Finally copped Original Hunter and it's Lacoste Blanc with better performance.
Azzaro Chrome Sport is a nice cheapie for summer too.
Can you do a top ten fragrances to wear while watching fragrance videos
ahhahahhahahah .... I cant believe how they find ideas... it's repeating.
hahahaha I like that one😂
Light blue sun is incredible but in sunny heatwave weather something magical happens i swear i never liked it until i wore it in a heatwave
Same with polo ultra blue, only works under high heat
Coach platinum doesn’t get a lot of love in the community. I rarely see it mentioned, if ever. Definitely a summer banger
Yes love polo blue parfum
Just ordered Blue Ridge on a blind buy. Excited to try it, bro!
Blue Ridge and Terra Nova have both made their way into my rotation. Blue Ridge is a great buy!
Hi Ash. Love the content. Can you show your spray routine?
and a few spins
It's probably different from each fragrance/type of fragrance.
if you are on a budget and you want something similair to Lacoste white L12, then go for Swiss Arabian Pure instinct.. it costs you 50% less with way better performance..
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed night
Just got Jaguar pace its the perfect Spicy shower gel Scent you guys need to try it
Where is PDM Sedley ! I am heading now to the store to pick it up. I was really wait to hear it here hahaha
Sedley was in the summer list. Great fragrance. You'll go noseblind though.
My favorite is kinda old school.....ralph lauren..
Polo Sport
Which L1212 is the least sweet? Are they all the same sweet?
What about y edp intense it's so much fresher than the edt and the edp
I keep lacoste white in my gym bag. Been using it for years.
Great video Ash! Can’t argue any in this list. 🤘

I'm wearing Armaf Hunter right now and it does remind me of L12.12, less of Eu fraiche. It does its own thing aswell, and I enjoy it.
@@K4inan The Aura Fresh is compared to Man Eau Fraiche. Thanks for your comment - I'm ordering it today!
Thank you, I'm just gonna buy Polo Blue Parf.
Much luv on the Lacoste plus the bottle is cool too, and don’t act like y’all don’t care bout the bottle cuz you know u do. Oh and eau fraîche is literally one of my favs!! Stuff just smells fresh and clean
Can you make a video of top 10 best presentations?
L12.12 white is legit. Love that stuff.
Doesn't really perform well though :(
Standalone vid on your frag ingredients and aromachemical tests please! One for the extra channel
We love your channel ❤
Great selection, I could have sworn by most of those scents.
Polo Blue / great scent - wish performance was better
Could you do a review of the Al Qiam gold and Al Qiam Silver of Lattafa
Faconnable Regatta and Kenneth Cole Mankind are some of my faves right now 🔥
I absolutely love Mankind. I don't understand why it doesn't get any sort of love/respect from anyone.

What a wallybrain
Missoni wave 🎉🎉
By the way was the winner announced for the last giveaway? I'm sure i didn't win, but I never saw the post. Any help guys?
I’m still sad my Tester of Missoni Wave did not come with a cap 😢
Yeah that's the only real reason I've never bought a tester. I have trust issues that something won't arrive the same as it was shown in the online listing.
How's it working for you tho? I've been thinking of getting it in July for my summer vacation haha.

Where did you get Missoni wave? I can’t seem to find it in stock
Nothing wrong with that, Escentric Molecules do not put caps on their fragrances, I have Molecule 01, 02 and Escentric 01 and none of them have a cap, they’re not testers.
Not sure why it gets ignored and hated on but leMale in the Navy is a banger
I've been enjoying rose fragrance this summer
Which one?
@@shahar2235 mostly tobacco rose by papillon and zino davidoff vintage ♥️
Oud satin mood the rose smells amazing in the heat
@@andrewpayne3298 would you say they are masculine or at least appropriate for a man to wear
@shahar2235 definitely I'm a man and I rock them tobacco rose smells amazing on me
Magnetic cap!
Could you test the Mark Gebauer fragrances? They seem great
Solid recommendations thanks Ash.
Scents for Gents🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Im glad you like the newer Polo Blue cause I know you really dislike the original. BUT, have you smelled polo blue sport (in the white bottle?). Its minty and the most different in the line. (Biased also cause my gf LOVES when I wear it)
Bro I’ve been wondering about this. I hate regular Polo Blue.
we need a top for the youngers ones
Younger folks can wear any of these with no problem.

Didn’t we have this video a few days ago?
He's getting very repetitive
He does a video every day, repetition is inevitable. If its too repetitive for you, prob shouldn't watch all of them
@@louis_rask exactly i don't. They're losing value
He shouldn’t do one every day. Less is more. He’s still the best out there but wondering how long before he puts on a white suit and does some one armed push ups.

I agree! I love the old one, but can't find it anywhere unfortunately. Was the packaging black or light blue?

@@mikewhite8848 Can you send me the link please? Are you 100% sure it’s the old version ?
i had to buy a backup bottle, the aldehydes are the bomb!!
I get strong Eros vibes from JPG In the navy.
Ash you never came back to the Issye Miyake Vetiver
Got to check that le male on board 😊
L 12 is great but lasts 39 minutes for me
It lasts 51 minutes on me. It must be the old batch
try Armaf Hunter EDP, it smells almost the same and has a very solid staying power. However, I like the original a bit more.
Versace fresh is not that great I have a bottle
Never been first
Jesus loves yall❤
Take us throw all your discontinued fragrances in one or two videos.
Through*
@@akuma4u Of course. Thanks!
Man I can’t stand Polo Blue. I can’t tell any of the top notes and heart notes, just that overlay sour musk smell. Just me and my nose.
👍👍👍👍
dolce gabbana smells like egg, don't recommend it
You should try smelling triethylamine and acetic anhydride. Put the 2 together 😂😂😂
