Wave 2 is daaaaashiiiiiiiiii. The best cheapy ever that I have ever purchased because of the projection and longevity. Give it some more wears, it’s a great compliment getter.
Hollister frags have always been dumb underrated. SoCal was my signature scent all throughout high school and my first year after. I stopped wearing it in favor of more designer fragrances, but I got nostalgic for it and decided to buy a bottle. It still holds up tbh
You know one thing that isn't talked about enough when it comes to Fragrances? That it doesn't matter if a Fragrance is cheap or expensive, the way a person carries themselves completely changes the way a Fragrance is viewed/expierenced/ and seen. If I'm dating a guy, and they are well groomed, good hygiene, etc. They could honestly wear axe for all I care. The way a person carries themselves makes even the cheapest fragrances, somehow nice, and enjoyable
I just picked up from the Burlington store's rack Hollister wave and already have Hollister wave 2 in my collection. Both of them are amazing fragrances. I also found London in the box by English Laundry. This one lasts a lot longer than the ones that pop up in the racks without the box
I say this every time someone mentions Cool Water Aquaman. Yes it's phenomenal. Best blind but I've made in awhile. But also, if you got a wife/girlfriend/lady or you just like great feminine fragrances, get Cool Water Mera. It also surprisingly great.
Great list of “bargain bin” type cheapies and your traditional “cheapie”... I wore MB Legend Spirit when it first came out, as I was a fan of the original Legend (still am..) For some reason I was passing up bottles of Spirit all the time at rack stores... I have Davidoff CW Wave, EL Cambridge Knight (Thanks Ross, I love that one and was actually able to find a full box presentation at a Nordstrom Rack a while back..)..etc... So figured why do I need it.... Why not?? I collect... so collect. Grabbed a 30ml on yellow tag for $15... Man, it still smells amazing. Great list... Keep em coming.
Bentley For Men Black Edition! It's an absolute beast! I have a large selection of fragrances and it is my favorite now. Azarro Legend Chrome has great projection too, I've gotten compliments with it. The Mercedes set is really good definitely over looked but worth buying.
Cpl weeks ago at Burlington I picked a Ed Hardy gift set of a 3.4 oz Love and Luck and a 3.4 oz Hearts and Daggers for 17.99!! Was proud of that pick up. 😎
@@user1fja98dnaiid it’s called “just me” it’s in a dark gradient cylinder bottle. You can find em for dirt cheap on eBay! It’s synthetic but fresher than Perry Ellis and lasts longer
Out of the 10 Cheapie Summer Fragrances. I have 3, 360 Red, First Instinct & coach. I really enjoy 360 Red and haven't worn Ambercombie & Fitch First Instinct together yet.
For me Jimmy Choo Ice definitely opens with the lemonade scent, but about 5 minutes after it smells strongly of laundry / laundry detergent. Which is t unpleasant but unexpected and very synthetic on my skin.
First off, I have lots of colognes but my all time favorite is the gold Curve. I continue to get compliments with too, Well hell, I usually get compliments with most my fragrances. Ive been using Curve since freshman year. Don’t judge me. Lmao.
Hello Ross, how are you? I'm digging the list and video. Perry Ellis 360 is amazing!! Have you tried Perry Ellis White 360? I am thinking Le Male maybe. Stay safe brother
Hey brother! Just wanna drop you a quick one to tell u that I went to TJs yesterday and grabbed A&F First Instinct Together and Hollister Wave 2, plus I grabbed Hugo Man Iced from Wally World all based on your suggestions. Together and Wave 2 are both great summer frags with Together being a real banger. However, Hugo Iced was a letdown for me. I paid too much for a 2.5oz bottle ($28) but I figured overpaying a bit would be worth it. I was wrong. Iced is weak as hell man! I was expecting a more sparkling citrus/mint fragrance, but after like 30 minutes, it's friggin gone off my skin! Now, I did have a thought about this. The bottle that I got was the one that looks like a cocktail shaker. The one that you reviewed was the flask type bottle. Do you think that Hugo Boss might have reformulated it, making it BETTER??? Interesting thought. At any rate, I DO appreciate your suggestion on the other two brother, I'm really enjoying them!
Azzaro Sport opening i think is terrible but its nice when it drys down when that nasty smell from opening goes away but not near as sweet or strong as First Instinct Together.
Great video Ross. Compared to ADG now PE 360 Red is alot better, and one from yrs ago I had was a Paris Hilton Just Me was great as well. Thanks for the video.
While I don’t own any of these frags, I have 2 in my cart at a discounters website. I might have to add Ed Hardy too as that’s the 2nd or 3rd time this week in heard about that scent.
Really want to get a bottle of Legend Spirit ive smelled it and i loved it on tester strip i just picked Aqva Atlantique instead but i might get that too lol i have alot of Mont Blanc stuff i like them. I wanna get Cool Water Wave n Aquaman too. 360 red i need to smell cause who doesn't love Acqua Di Gio. I have free wave 2 and jimmy choo man ice my fiance loves man ice. I also got Sean John Unforgivable which i do like alot lol. Im so addicted now 😂
Sean John 3AM is a great, cheap summer scent - most rack stores have the big bottles for $20. Also, Cremo Iced Citron & Driftwood (possibly a Wally World exclusive) has the same vibe as Jimmy Choo Man Ice & Dior Homme Cologne - also $20 for a 100 ml.
I have that iced citron I don’t really like it at all it’s too citrusy…I keep seeing 3am in rack stores but is really any good ? I know it’s gets a lot of hate on fragrantica
Hey what was that fragrance you said reminds your of going to Biloxi beach? I think you said it had a salty seaweed note or something like that. It was in one of your top 10 videos a while back
I got one bottle of aquaman and i loved it, gave it to my little brother as a gift. He fucking drank it. It was gone in 2 months. I bought that one online. He bought a bottle at a rack store and something about it was wrong. It was to apoint he gave that bottle because he thought he was burnt out with it. I have to get another bottle and give it a 3rd bottle and see what surprise awaits me. Needless tos ay I have mixed feelings about it.
Hi! Hey wich one is better for you, first instinct togheter or legend spirit? I mean about the smell, not as a clon of invictus aqua, greetings from Mexico
I FINALLY pulled the trigger on that Jimmy Choo Man Ice, & needless to say, I am soooo glad I did! I was shocked at the longevity I got! I actually got about 8 hours! As far as the First Instinct, I don't like it! I will try that Sean John, & Mont Blanc Legend. I HATE the Explorer, so I have stayed away from ALL Mont Blanc! 😂😂
Wave 2 is daaaaashiiiiiiiiii. The best cheapy ever that I have ever purchased because of the projection and longevity. Give it some more wears, it’s a great compliment getter.
Great host? ☑
Great audio? ☑
Great content? ☑
Great lighting? ☑..
This gentleman is sooo underrated
Hollister wave 2 shocked the hell out of me when I blind bought it at ROSS.
Just got it tonight. For 10$. I’m stoked.
I got it today. It was hard to pin point what it was. Then I recalled invictus aqua. It actually drys down exactly like kanye west whatever it takes.
@@notpartofdaplan9290 you like it? It’s good but i don’t think it’s my fav fresh cheapie.
For the price you cant go wrong.
Hollister frags have always been dumb underrated. SoCal was my signature scent all throughout high school and my first year after. I stopped wearing it in favor of more designer fragrances, but I got nostalgic for it and decided to buy a bottle. It still holds up tbh
I'm glad u talked about love and luck nobody ever talks about it.
Just subscribed, I find your reviews the best in the youtube fragrance community! I especially like the bargain shopping at rack stores

Perry ellis 360 red is what I'm wearing today got a complement the other day like 2 to 3 hours in. Oh and always love your videos.
That one is a beast I get compliments at least 10 hours later
360 red is certainly the best in this list. It's so sexy and lasts atleast 5 to 6 hours on my skin which is pretty good for how cheap it is
Making me feel the need to go to the racks today.
Just picked up Wave 2 at Marshalls.
100ml for $18.
Really good cheapie..Thanks for recommending..
Great list of “bargain bin” type cheapies and your traditional “cheapie”...

I have 7 on this video, 6 based on your reviews. All recommendations are very good IMO.
Gonna buy 360 Red in a week or so. I'm excited as I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Acqua Di Gio
Down to earth and honest reviews. My frag collection is probably at 50+ as a result of watching your channel. Keep cranking my friend@
Just bought Love & Luck and I love it.
Hey ross! I have the Hollister wave 2 it's a great scent.
Guys, skip Perry Ellis red and get “Paris Hilton just me”.. less spicy, maybe a touch sweeter, but still fresh and more compliments with that one.
@@user1fja98dnaiid it’s called “just me” it’s in a dark gradient cylinder bottle. You can find em for dirt cheap on eBay! It’s synthetic but fresher than Perry Ellis and lasts longer

11:40 💪🏼
Smell great on a budget. My man
The only one on the list i didn't like was Perry Ellis Red 360. The scent was fine. But I got horrible headaches every time I wore it lol
Can't over spray that one all you need is 3 sprays to do the job maybe less
For me Jimmy Choo Ice definitely opens with the lemonade scent, but about 5 minutes after it smells strongly of laundry / laundry detergent. Which is t unpleasant but unexpected and very synthetic on my skin.
Im a cool water fan boy, I like them all. Im currently wearing cool water wave.
Thanks for the choices, so glad i subscribed to your channel 3 months ago. Definitely will be on the look out for Chrome Azzaro Sport and The Wave
Appreciate ya, Ross.
You can get a 1.7oz only the brave on eBay for only $20! It’s so good for a cheapie
Tuned in now … here we go 💪🏾
Franck Olivier blue touch smells just like acqua di gio in my opinion and doesn’t get talked about much
Thanks man, my Friday routine now is rummaging through the rack stories with my lady!
Good times isn’t it? She looks at her things we check the frags hoping for some gems
@@tokenblack7983 she's right there with me checking out the chick frags!

Jimmy Choo Man Ice is very nice.
Great List I still need to grab a few of these
Mont Blanc Legend Spirit is ah "LEGEND"💪💪💪💪"THUMBS UP"🥊🔔
everyday i always watch your videos...

Legend Spirit is one of my favorites.
to counter that, Jimmy Choo man Ice just doesn't work at all for me. No projection whatsoever, and can barely smell it on my skin.
Azzaro sport has a better dry down than Versece; I get coconut in the end.
Azzaro sport, if you can't find first instinct together, lovely aroma
Azzaro Sport opening i think is terrible but its nice when it drys down when that nasty smell from opening goes away but not near as sweet or strong as First Instinct Together.
Azzaro Sport is a hidden gem get plenty of compliments when I wear it
Hey i came across 4.2 oz for 20$ Tommy Summer the other day at tjmaxx. I Cant remember if youve ever reviewed, it but i think youd really like it.
I need to pull the trigger on Diesel Only The Brave. Had it sitting in my eBay watch list for a few weeks now.
Luv the T-shirt Ross. 💜
I wish Hollister Jake would pop up at a rack store ! 😒
Enjoyed watching thank you
Great video.. aroma from heaven
Very nice fragrances. Some of them are my favourites. Perry Ellis also used to come in a apple green bottle and juice 👍👍👍
Have you tried the new Tommy Hilfiger Summer 2021? Great smell and lasts rather long on my skin.
I have not
I have 7 out of the 10
Great video Ross. Compared to ADG now PE 360 Red is alot better, and one from yrs ago I had was a Paris Hilton Just Me was great as well. Thanks for the video.
You the man!
Can you make a review or comparison of Millennials Dinamico and first instict together
While I don’t own any of these frags, I have 2 in my cart at a discounters website. I might have to add Ed Hardy too as that’s the 2nd or 3rd time this week in heard about that scent.
Don't do performance is trash get Armaf Club De Nuit Milestone

*MY (4) COST-EFFECTIVE COMPLIMENT MAGNETS SUMMER 2021*
- Rochas LHomme
- Rasasi Hawas EDP
- Versace Pour Homme
- Armaf Tres Nuit
*HONORABLE MENTIONS*
- Versace Fraiche and/or MontBlanc Starwalker
- Armani Code Colonia
rasasi hawas cost at around 80usd even on discounters certainly not a cheapie but it do smells good
I'm really digging Rochas l'homme it's a killer fragrance
@@yobome23 gotcha thanks for that. I surely don’t remember paying $80 though.
@@curtisallanharms248 yea it’s one of the more rich and complex of the blues for sure. that juniper note opening is amazing
@@MikeyBizzle4Shizzle yeah man for sure
Jimmy Choo man ice is the bomb church/office scent.soft but smooth💨💨💨💨💨💨
I still own a bottle of that love luck it’s great
Remember the Ed Hardy hats 🤦♂️ lol.
Sean John 3AM is a great, cheap summer scent - most rack stores have the big bottles for $20. Also, Cremo Iced Citron & Driftwood (possibly a Wally World exclusive) has the same vibe as Jimmy Choo Man Ice & Dior Homme Cologne - also $20 for a 100 ml.

@@dabaddestdj2010 it's worth it for the atomizer alone. I see 1.7oz for 15$...Not a waste of money.
Let me say this I gotten first instinct together and Hollister free wave 2 In 2024
Ross da boss 👍👍
Hey what was that fragrance you said reminds your of going to Biloxi beach? I think you said it had a salty seaweed note or something like that. It was in one of your top 10 videos a while back
These videos are TOPs
boss bottled tonic and unlimited lets consider them honorable mentions.
Just Bought Perry Ellis red and white
200ml of legend spirit for $50 online.
Yesterday I saw montblanc Skywalker & mont blanc individuel are those any good?
Nice
Original Hollister Wave any good?
I think so
@@TLTGReviews I'll give it a go next time I see it. Thanks Ross
Awesome vid
Ross try Ed Hardy Hearts and Daggers, I think that's their best summer frag
I have 2 bottles of it
Hey man, can you do a review on Saint Hilaire Abre chic? I own a bottle and to me it smells similar to DHI or VUI. Love your contents. Thx
I have never tried it. I'm glad that you enjoy it though
@@TLTGReviews its under 20 so I think it's a pretty good deal. Really appreciate the reply.

Both are great
I need something for a daytime barbecue probably gonna be hot outside any suggestions good friend👍🏽
Versace Pour Homme
Yep, Versace Pour Homme (sometimes listed as Versace Signature) is a great scent for any summertime event, especially bbq’s.
Thank you both going to grab some to night
good video 📹👍
great video
Not sure but I heard LIFE by Nautica is a good comparison for aqua di Profumo OR profundo
I'm not sure
You are so enjoyable. :)
Any thoughts on penguin icy blue ?
Basic fresh woody aquatic. It has been in many of my rotation videos as an out of the shower scent
Is love and luck better than armaf milestone, it’s also another milesiam imperial clone
Don't own Milestone
No.
If i could add i would say dullhill icon... If you on some grow and sexy vibe.. Banger
Have u tried icon Ross???
I bought the Jimmy choo and I couldnt stand it took it right back smelled moth ballish
First time I've heard that. That's unfortunate
I also bought first instinct and loved went back next day and bought a second bottle
That's my jam
I FINALLY pulled the trigger on that Jimmy Choo Man Ice, & needless to say, I am soooo glad I did! I was shocked at the longevity I got! I actually got about 8 hours!
