My top cheapies that have great performance on my skin are: 1. Nautica Voyage 2. Perry Ellis 360 Red 3. Bvlgari Aqva Amara (expensive now tho) 4. Issey Miyake L'eau D'issey Pour Homme 5. Club de nuit intense man 6. D&G Light blue intense 7. Versace Dylan blue 8. John Varvatos Artisan Pure 9. Dunhill Icon 10. Lalique Encre Noire Sport 11. Carolina Herrera Chic for men 12. Mont Blanc Individuel Nice vid man, keep it up!
CH Chic is absolute crap. I mean at first test, it smelled good that i bought it, but within 2-3 days i grew sick of it. and its NOT a summer fragrance by any means btw
@@alcappacino To each their own man. It works great for me and remember that taste and performance on each person is different. Too bad it doesn't work for you but it does for me. Also it does have a freshness to it and it can be used during spring and summer. Maybe not in extremely hot days but it can be used.
9.0 is great. My wife also likes to wear it! From Paris To New York is a amazing clone of Dior Homme Cologne with good performance. Very easy to use everyday.
D&G Light Blue edt would be a great pick up too. It works so well for me it gets a lot of use during the summer. It’s appreciated by all who I come in contact with. I know it’s like aqua di Gio in popularity but in my social circles no one wears cologne.
Versace Man Eau Fraiche is awesome, wont say its cheap, but it performs great in the heat for a fresh scent!! Pretty much last on me for 8 hrs, and i live in florida now!!
Bvlgari man extreme, Salvatore ferregamo acqua essenziale Colonia, encre noir sport , zegna uomo and azzaro pour homme le eau are some other cheapies that perform very well in a summer day.
No.1 best value bar none summer fragrance Nautica Voyage. Actually prefer 8.0 to 9.0 (came together), which smells like a Lacoste clone. 9.0, I'd rather spray my Homme Intense.
Here's an idea for you . I purchased Naomi Goodsir Bois D'Ascese bottle full price. You have to let this develop for it to turn into a beautiful scent. To prove my point I sprayed this scent on both forearms. I had my wife take a sniff at one in 2 minutes and she didn't like it. I approached her with her other arm an hour later (she's too smart if it was the same arm she'd know) and asked her what she thought of that fragrance. She loved it. I told her it's the same scent. She couldn't believe it. I think doing a test over two different time frames is also interesting to see if a fragrance does change over time or it doesn't. And does it settle into something better than the original opening or is the dry down better. Is the fragrance worth and purchased for the opening blast or the dry down.
You're one of the best fragrance reviewers on all of UA-cam. Unlike another reviewer, you don't come across as some fake arrogant person, but a genuine guy. Good list too. My summer ones are Armani Profumo, Armani Essenza which to me is absolutely one of the best ones and D&G Light Blue Eau Intense. The first time I wore Light Blue Eau Intense, I went to the liquor store and the first words out of the girls mouth behind the register was, "What cologne are you wearing?" I told her D&G Light Blue Eau Intense. She had never smelled it before but she really liked it. I also forgot to add, I picked up Acqua Di Parma Fico Di Amalfi. That thing smells like sex in a bottle.
My comment was going to be that you're leaving out a slew of Zara options until you mentioned Zara. I think Zara 8.0 is even a better option for summer with nice performance. Orange Zest from their Midsummer Collection of a few years ago is also great but it's not available right now.
I just smelled St. Kitts for the first time today, and I have to say... I was unwillingly and disconcertingly impressed. Not majorly, but mildly... which was still too much. It honestly MIGHT be decent. Strictly out of self-respect I don't want to say it might even be GOOD, but... can that be true? It literally reminded me of something Guerlain would release.
I just got Karl lagerfeld bois de yuzu, I was eyeing it for a while and finally pulled the trigger it's super cheap and smells really nice it has yuzu, grapefruit, mint, rosemary and ginger, it's a really vibray composition which is completely ignored, for the most part Guerlain vetiver is also a cheapie btw , at least on notino Mr Burberry indigo is another great cheapie which is an amouage beach hut man rip off , it's 80% the same, more synthetic also more mass appealing so if you like beach hut man but can't afford it it's a passable alternative Also guerlain lhome ideal cologne is a cheapie , still, get it before the price skyrocket since it got discontinued
Mr. Miami Cuddles and there are no reviews on UA-cam but everyone was fawning over the vetiver one which honestly is not that impressive But this yuzu one definitely deserves some more spotlight
Versace pour Homme is great L’Aventure I seem to be growing bored of, also longevity isn’t the best Club nuit man first batch was amazing but unfortunately the reformulation killed it for me Artisan pure is a complete pass , longevity was non existent
Ck all / Guerlain homme edp /Guerlain eau boisé / Davidoff hot water / Guerlain l’homme idéal cologne . / Issey miyake :l’eau dissey pour homme intense.
I just picked up JV Artisan Pure 4.2 oz for 32$ with tax at TJ max so for anyone reading this definitely visit your Marshall’s and TJ max and see what they have
Always look forward to your videos J-ROYL ! I was just about to trade with someone for an Acqua Di Parma , and your helpfulness made me realize that I’d never wear it (too hot where I’m at) - as always , keep the great videos up ! Ps: if you could do a video on Creed Virgin Island that would be amazing
Can you make a video on best soaps to use with your fragrance? I just switched to Irish Spring and it's making all of my fragrances smell really spicy (in a bad way).
What do you think of Valentino Uomo Acqua? Is it suitable for summertime, and what are your thoughts if you have had an opportunity to try this fragrance out?
@@royalfragrance And did that perform well? Because I think it has really good scent, but I have to respray it maybe 3 times a day when I wear it. Where should I store fragrances?
@@royalfragrance I am! My hometown is by the sea. I lived ten years in Germany and I missed the sea a lot. Marine allowed me to carry a bit of the sea with me. Calone really works well on this one (although some people mention "is that melon"? I don't care :)
was gonna pick up zara 9.0 cause i see reviews saying its great for fall and winter...your the first reviewer i seen say its a summer cheapie...is it really good to wear during the warmer months?
Hey James, nice video. Do you have Carven L'eau Intense? Can you do a review on that. How different is it to GIT or Tres Nuit or Cool Water? Would love to hear your take.
I have carven leau intense.. and in my opinion it does not smell like cool water at all.. i find it very different and quite unique.. very good performance too. i never smell git n tre nuit so i cant compare it to those..
Hey good day from Spain , Zara just put on sale two new fragrances ; Sublime cedar and fresh Sandalwood for 19.95eur , could you make a review about and chek the similarity with Cedrat boise, nobody has been talking about both releases, thank you
they have a promo where if you buy 5 bottles you get free shipping. it usually takes 2 weeks to get to me. i usually add some cheapies like ferrari or armaf to get to the 5 bottle.
I purchased club de nuit intense in the spring. He’s right it does start harsh. Within an hour or two it mellows and smells great. More than two sprays though and I’m sneezing and getting that “is this way two powerful” vibe. A friend told me in the car it was too much like two hours after applying just that much, so I say use it conservatively, and it pe forms great
@@LongNguyen-cj7co I haveeen using Nautica Voyage for the last 10 years. I use to live in a tropical island all my life. This is one of the best freshies out there that isn't cloying and it is super versatile in high humidity and heat. I wear this on hot summer nights too. My top value fragrance for the tropics.
Ever smelled the 2009 LED summer edition L'eau D'ete? That stuff is like a unicorn from the line. Was kind of surprised at how prominent the kiwi note is in the new summer flankers. A nice touch, if it only lasted... And props for pronouncing Varvatos properly!
honest vibes bro.
My top cheapies that have great performance on my skin are:
1. Nautica Voyage
2. Perry Ellis 360 Red
3. Bvlgari Aqva Amara (expensive now tho)

J-ROYL Forgot about Chrome Legend. My SOTD.
Great video. A couple of months back I blind bought Guerlain’s L’homme Ideal Cologne for just £16 and that’s a great summer cheapie imo.
First instinct, Nautica Voyage
Artisan pure lasts 8 hours on my skin. Great production and editing
Dude I’m glad your still dropping content

Hahaha
No.1 best value bar none summer fragrance Nautica Voyage.
Actually prefer 8.0 to 9.0 (came together), which smells like a Lacoste clone. 9.0, I'd rather spray my Homme Intense.
Bro nice vid set up. I say if u balance the magenta tone a bit to more neutral and perhaps remove the piece behind your head it would be better.
Creative review as always, My top summer cheapie will be Rasasi Hawas and PE Red .. Not my all summer category tho.
Armaf tres nuit is well worth buying!!!
Nice list, there are many fragrances here I haven't heard of

i just picked up a 1oz of versace pour homme for $25 at marshalls 🔥 perfect for summer
Me too! Mine was 29.99 but it was a blind buy and dang is it good. I'm shocked how good it is
I really like Versace Man and Man Eau Franche
Both are fantastic
James you seriously rock. Brilliant work as ever.
great list!
best editing presentation!

Mr Burberry indigo is another great cheapie which is an amouage beach hut man rip off , it's 80% the same, more synthetic also more mass appealing so if you like beach hut man but can't afford it it's a passable alternative

I love Artisan Pure & Versace Pour Homme !
I'm more of a fan of Al Haramain L'aventure over Armaf Tres Nuit
Thanks for sharing . . .
Versace pour Homme is great
L’Aventure I seem to be growing bored of, also longevity isn’t the best
Club nuit man first batch was amazing but unfortunately the reformulation killed it for me
Artisan pure is a complete pass , longevity was non existent
Great list and I enjoyed it and I like both of the Versace fragrances and I'm gonna try the other fragrances and have a blessed day
Yooo famma just passing thur don't forget le male. JPG all day 14 hours..
Cool list and video, Zara 9.0 I find is very close to Valentino Uomo (I own both) year round scent but not intense heat imo, cheers :)
I think zara 9.0 is better suited for winter because it doesn't last even for 30 mins on me during summer
Hey mate .. great list
Big ups from Montreal 👊
Here in Europe Zara 9.0 & 8.0 pack is 20€ and nautica voyage 100 ml is 15€, what should I get?

To my nose, Tres Nuit does not smell anything like GIT. If people want the tweed ☘️, they have to invest in the actual fragrance.
Anything? Like not even a bit? It's not an exact copy, but something is wrong if it doesn't remind you at least a bit of GIT...
