Definitely not for a blind buy, I enjoy it quite a bit but the licorice and cardamom notes in it give it a bit of a fennel vibe which is not for everyone.
There's a problem with your sound. Too much bass. The overall is not well balanced. If you're trying to improve the bass of your videos and you are working on a DAW, it is better using a multi-band compressor than using an EQ. Just guessing what is the problem though.
I'd pass on just about every one of these fragrances. Rochas Moustache EDP is collecting dust in my collection, due to being my one & only blind buy I've done, and did not like it at all. Way too heavy on the pink pepper, not enjoyable.
I don't have Moustache but I do own Lattafa's Kismet. It is a marvelous scent profile. I say it every time, but Terra Nova is a classy scent. I'm a big fan of that one.
LOVE THE INTRO. You should do that for like 50 videos or one week which ever comes first! haha...Like Jeremey and his non stale spin...its not 2015 he read that book fredrikeklundny, the guy who does a karate kick whenever he sells real estate in New York, Im Sure he did the spin becuase the book and his spin came out same time...conspiracy?
Why does his microphone sound like he boosted the bass? Whenever I watch his videos, I always have to boost the low and middle notes so it's easier to listen.
I got Asad for $20 which is 90% elixir with great performance and quality juice. Why would someone spend $200 on a designer. Asad is infact bit fresher in the opening which I like better than Dior.
I love Montblanc Explorer. Although it may not be what got me interested in fragrances, it's one the one I started my collection with. Very versatile. You can wear it with a simple t-shirt all the way to a suit. Highly underrated for what you get for the price imo.
Tbh I don’t understand the hype about the explorer at all … I actually don’t smell it on me at all in just under like 2 hours maybe and when I do and when it’s most intense just after spraying I am actually repulsed by it … and it was a blind buy for me as everyone was raving about it for years up on here … but generally speaking I just love sweet, spicy, gourmand scents so maybe that’s why I find the expeller so off putting …
bro you gotta fix that EQ on the mic. Are you running the same EQ as when you had the RE-20? I have an SM7B and it shouldn't sound nearly as muddy as yours.
I have Moustache. I don't find it smooth. It's a blast of pink pepper. I mean if pepper spray is smooth then yeah. But I'm not sure. I don't hate it but it is one of the least worn scents i have.
I had been looking for Missoni Wave at my local discount stores. The only one I found was trying to sell a tester for 55 bucks. I ended up just ordering it online today. 🙃
Started my fragrance collection with Sauvage Elixir at the recommendation of the Dillard’s salesman, and I didn’t realize what an outlier it would be in terms of performance. The stuff is incredible. I’ve since added Aventus and Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum to the mix. Can’t wait to keep growing the collection.
Based on your current collection… it seems like more expensive frags don’t steer you away… definitely try Parfums de Marly Greenley… absolutely fell in love with it but would never fork out the cash at that $330 price point… however, maybe u would.
Hey Ash, just wanted to say I found your channel about 2 months ago when I was just looking into Frags and you have turned me into a "Frag-Head". Can't wait every day to see the next video!
I recommend you apply a High Pass Filter, maybe around 100Hz, on your microphone track when you are editing. It will remove the rumble generated by air or taps on the table. Thanks for the awesome content!
Not liking the new mic setup. Sound is too deep and requires me to turn up the volume. Not conducive when my wife is trying to sleep and I’m trying to absorb your knowledge!
Kind of disappointed by this video, felt like a "must own clones/cheapies", this top 10 didnt have any staples, any niche, any risky frag.. only hype. Some of those fragrances I ve even sold online, some dont even perform
Tommy Hilfiger Impact INTENSE should seriously make to this list. It's incredibly underrated for a fragrance that smells like niche. Also great layer to put PDM Carlisle on top.
I got my bottle of Moustache for 30 plus quid a few months ago. Nice smelly Prefer and own CDNIM edp over explorer. LR Black is much nicer than carbon. LHI is also top notch. Azarro WBN is a standout performing frag
Elixir is beast mode. It’s headache inducing strong. I might sell it……..but the same thing happened to me circa 2016 with Dior homme parfum early batch 2.0 once bottle. It was NUCLEAR STRENGTH. The strongest scent I’ve owned ever around 90 plus scents. I sold that one and nowadays it’s crazy expensive.
I wonder if Missoni Wave is a sponsored campaign. suddenly a lot of fragrance youtubers stgarted hyping it up, putting it in the thumbnail. I mean, I also bought but it still
Anybody smelled any of this guy's frags? Like the bottle style. But dayum, why he got to do us like that? He basically double charged the price tag on his scents. Like, for his astronomical prices, they better be great. And yeah, I have paid more than his cost for several bottles in my collection. But, they are either high end designer, or established niche companies with some real hype. Was dissapointed to see his costs. And, don't tell me he had to charge that due to how expensive it is to get his frags off the ground. Ain't no way it cost him more than 50 bucks a bottle to make that shii..
I just can’t get down with Moustache EDP. It was one of the first i started my collection with and it’s my least favorite purchase almost 50 bottles later, but I have not parted ways with my 4.2oz bottle yet in hopes it may grow on me. But it’s made me not even want Tuxedo
It's not bad, I quite like it. However, the lack of performance really puts me off so I hardly ever reach for it. It definitely didn't live up to the hype for me.
Would you still recommend Moustache now with The Tux available? Which scent profile do you prefer and smells higher quality. I know people say The Tux smells closer to Tuxedo but do you think it smells better/higher quality then moustache not taking that into consideration. Also which lasts longer between the two clones? With all these clones it becomes difficult to differentiate which is the superior fragrance clone. Like some people only rate it on the criteria of closeness rather then on the fragrance itself because it is a clone rather then overall. For instance Khamra which is not as close to angel share as kismet angel but I still think its the better scent quality wise (my personal opinion anyways). Is this the case with moustache or just get The Tux now if I had to have one?
Ash, as long as I've been following and watching, I don't think I've ever seen you say "never mind all the flankers, the original is the bomb". Have you ever thought that ? Have you ever been knocked over by an original, and the flankers just never swayed you from it ?
Usually when frags get popular, they get reformulated due to thier success. Companies know that people will still buy it even if it's a little weaker. YSL did this to La Nuit de L'homme. It happens often
@@angelosgkelias Sorry, I wasn't trying to be rude, I hope it wasn't reformulated.. The weird thing that I've noticed about 200ml bottles is that they always seem weaker. All of my 200ml bottles have been weaker than my 100ml bottles. I have a 200ml of La nuit de L'homme and a couple 100ml bottles and I really notice a difference. Same with my 200ml Sauvage, Dylan Blue, YSL L'HOMME and a few others. I have had others say the same thing. I have a 100ml of Y EDP, Le Parfum and Y Live and they seem to last 8+ hours for me?
Tried Savuage Elixir at the airport the one time, that Scent is real beast mode, one spray and I got heavy whiffs of it... it's a real beast mode frag now that's my type of scent, BEASTE MODE.... 🇿🇦

Bought The Tux from Maison Alhambra and was blown away by just how close it is to Tuxedo. If it is consistent with its current quality Moustache is redundant . I have moustache and there is a noticeable almost Middle Eastern incense note in its drydown that I never really loved but it remains an absolute classic

I was thinking the exact same. So it’s not just me.
Only young boys are told what they should buy or own. Men should find out by themselves.

LaTaffa "The Tux" is a vastly superior YSL Tuxedo clone than Moustache is, and its cheaper.
The TUX by maison Alhambra is better than Moustache when comparing both to Tuxedo
Moustache is a compliment monster and lasts 10+ hrs
@@Alexxf35 why its superior than moustache? Love moustache, and interested with the tux
@@kennyc2281 I just feel it is better blended and closer to YSL Tuxedo...and it's cheaper.

I’ve owned a few bottles and yet, even I underrate it.
Too bad it doesn't last too long, it quickly becomes unnoticeable and its very sad because it's such an incredible scent

Must say, you're forgetting that Mont Blanc Explorer, is a lot like Aventus but the real main note that separates it, is the Haitian Vetiver
Thoughts on allure homme original? The sweet peach in the opening is absolutely the best
I love it. It’s the second i love after eau extreme
chanel does not make any men's fragrances that aren't great....all of them, I love everyone of them, lol.

Not bad at all. You can also find great scents for way cheaper, too.
For example Bentley for Men Intense
Try niche fragrances to find gems and smell different
Enjoy your scents 🙂👍

It’s a shame DG the One is weaker. It’s probably my favorite fragrance I’ve ever smelled. Happen to be wearing it as I watched this actually
Its probably my favourite scent wise aswell. It would be insane if it was longer lasting

Every guy should own these 10??? Not realistic as many people don’t even have 10 frags in their entire collection.
You can see his tongue firmly planted in his cheek.
Bro it's not that serious, chill pill
Choose the ones that interest you the most 🙂
Liker other reviewers he is simply pimping out whatever the discounter he is sponsored by got in shock

No way I'm putting Prada Carbon over Ocean or L'homme Intense or Black. Especially when Carbon is a clone of Dior Sauvage.
Carbon performs better on my skin. Sauvage edt .. lasts 5 hrs max .. Carbon lasts 12 hrs .. Sauvage better scent ..
so much bass
Why does he keep bringing up Stronger With You Absolutely when you can barley even find it ?
The new Microphone has too much base. It's hard to listen to now...
Your sound system is dope🔥🔥🔥.
Where's Kouros ?
Tommy Hilfiger Impact INTENSE should seriously make to this list. It's incredibly underrated for a fragrance that smells like niche. Also great layer to put PDM Carlisle on top.
Recommending an Aventus clone, lol. There are only a thousand to choose from, Aventus is dust
Mistache is so over hyped. Was a blind buy for me. Not impressed. scent is ok and performance is terrible.
Please, try to pronounce the various Brands and Company names in the correct way.
You know I would appreciate it if you talked about the performance and projection.
He does...regularly...
