@James Watts Oddly, I have Lalique's Encre Noir and also Encre Noir A L'Extreme and I've had several compliments from those. The other one that gets me tons of compliments is Guerlain's Santal Royal.
@James Watts Everyone around me complimented me when it comes to Encre Noire, which is more often that with other "compliment getting" fragrances. I don't think Encre Noire being divisive is actually true. I think it's because people who actually test it have problem with either cypress in the beginning or vetiver in the middle but when your coworkers actually smell the drydown (mix of clean wood and cypress) now that's heavenly.
Ash is one of the best reviewers, is honest, sarcastic, funny and a clown all at the same time 😂😂😂 that note break down for Valentino born in Roma was hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂
Gucci Guilty Black is a lovely fragrance👌🏽 only reason I don’t own a bottle is because I have at least 3 friends that own it and I don’t wanna hop on that bandwagon 😂
Guilty Black is the fragrance that my girlfriend picked out for me. I’ve bought many others since then (and I see now why people think this one is generic) but GGB is still one of her favorites out of all the others. Will I replace it? Probably. There’s something to be said for a fragrance you can wear any time anywhere.
Gucci guilty black has been in my collection from jump my babies 👶 momma kept my bottle when we split up til this day she still ask me if i still wear it 🤣🤣🤣 woman absolutely go bonkers over it!!! Nice review Ash and TY for keeping it 💯 ✌❤🙏
I agree the Gucci Guilty Black is sort of a different frag to my nose and it seems to contrast with my skin very well. I was literally followed by a woman walking out of the mall after I had passed her. She wanted to know what I was wearing 😆
i love guilty black and born in roma! the woody piney green feel i get from guilty black and the spicy sweet feel from born in roma are definitely 2 freshies that could be pulled off well in colder weather
Oh Lord, Gucci Envy. The scent that was hated into oblivion back in 1998 when it came out, and now it's super desired, and can set you back as much as 400$ if you want a bottle. I won't lie, I also want it, primarily from the bottle, but I'm also a fan of its complex pyramid, a nice contrast to modern streamlined fragrances.
I like born in roma. Smells similar to Invictus but still different enough to make it it's own. Received quite a few compliments. Appreciate you sharing!
bought Gucci guilty black as my first expensive fragrance, it won my nose over everything else at macys. didnt see many reviews on it afterwards. now that my collection includes over 20 fragrances, I have nothing else that smells quite like it. i relate it to Irish spring deodorant/ body wash. but it lasts for hours. smells so masculine. buyit!
Ash! I hope to see you at Scent Explorer 2021! It wouldn't be Scent Explorer without you! You rock my friend! Max the man has done it again! Love that guy!
I love the way Chrome smells. Smells futuristic. I don’t wear anymore cause everyone around me will know I’m wearing chrome. Another reason I don’t wear it cause a lot of older Latin dads rock this at parties all the times. Ladies please stop buying chrome for your dads bday 😬
Bad Boy Le Parfum is a masterpiece! I don’t care for Bad Boy EDT, in my opinion the EDT is terrible. I think people don’t realize that Le Parfum is a completely different scent.
I had gucci guilty and once I got a whiff of gucci guilty black I was hooked. I still buy this fragrance but Bleu de Chanel edp has replaced it as my #1
Used to wear Gucci Guilty Black about 7 years ago when I wasn't a collector and I remember loving it and getting compliments. Same with Lacoste L.12.12 White
I bought about 15 fragrances because of yours and others channel. My wife hates 90% of them. To this day, she has bought me 4 bottles of Gucci Guilty Black. I don't hate it, just wish my wife liked my other fragrances
I'm that "some people" who judges bottles like that Bad Boy and the people who buy them. I ain't no buyin' no bottles that look like a fricken lightening bolt, a big fricken gold bar, a robot, a trophy, or a little black teddy bear. And I ain't buyin' no fragrance with a name like "Halloween Man.....". Eau Sauvage EDT forever!! Guerlain Vetiver forever!! Bois du Portugal forever!!! Class. Sophistication. Elegance. Poetic license on the grammer.
@@999triple4 Visual aesthetics is important to me. Doesn't have anything to do with being a toy or not. That's why I like my Lalique fragrances. Artistic bottle presentation as well as artistic scent.
I couldn't believe when I did a smell test at work between Gucci Guilty, and Hypnotizing Fire by The Harmonist, and 5/5 women chose Gucci. It's so generic. Hypnotizing Fire is amazing.
Chrome Aqua is one of my top wears this summer - fresh citric summer vibe with a hint of ADG Profumo , Chrome Extreme is nice but in generic kind of way.
I really hate how almost every sweet fresh fragrance gets compared to invictus. It's annoying AF. There's thing that are no even remotely close that get compared to invictus.
I personally like Valentino Born in Roma, despite also owning Invictus Legend. Albeit they have a similar smell, I always get compliments at work from wearing Valentino more so then when I wear Invictus.
Hi Gents How about doing some videos regarding extravagant / luxury fragrances that money can't buy, like if you had a million dollars type of deal. Maybe there are collectors items that go for obscene amounts or fragrances that are in vaults or museums, even rumoured scents that never came to be.
I don’t own a single Gucci fragrance out of 120+ frags I have they lost me at discontinuing my all time fave Gucci pour homme II still heart broken lol
I bought Bad Boy when it 1st came out, I immediately loved it. I haven't met anyone where I live that hates it. Honestly I'm surprised it was on this list
Gucci guilt y is super popular Maybe cuz of the bottle and the brand ? Noy my favorite but id buy it a lot whem i first started getting into fragrances Its black and its clearly a male fragrance from the look and it is a designer fragrance so a safe bet for a begginer
I don’t get it with the love for Gucci Guilty Black. It’s very generic…I have it because it was a gift, but I rarely wear it. There’s way too many great fragrances or even clones that do better IMO
Hello Ash, how are you? As usual great job 👍🏾! Cynicism nobody does it better than you Lol 🤣 ( meant lovingly) You are a great reviewer. I'm digging the video and list. Stay safe brother
Born in Roma i bought and gave away to my brother cos very sweet and a little eggy on my skin. On him Last a long long time and pleasent when I smell on him, and many times he gets solicited compliments at work. :D for him works better than Dylan or Acqua atlantique that I have given as well.
Only one of these companies i've ever heard of is Gucci and I didn't know they made any fragrances lol. Certainly wouldn't even consider buying it just based on the brand. No way it wouldn't be overpriced.
dumping on a simple safe fragrance for being simple and safe isnt being sophisticated, its being an elitist. simple and safe have there place, and something that does it well is even better. okay im done defending the original gucci guilty lol
Switch the CH badboy with the prive Azzaro chrome was my go too so i dont hate it Tiffany & Co or whatever the fragrance called is fine All the rest i do hate and many newer ones everyone talks about Whether its you or jeremy or anyone else that makes these never ending cologne videos i wonder when ppl going to just pick what they like instead of what it seems like every fragrance guy rotation in every video.
What is the message that the “fragrance community” tries to put out? Don’t smell nice? Oh wow you smell like bacon farts,that must be some niche quality stuff u got there. Lol I just don’t get it??? Fragrances are supposed to smell pleasant,so why when they do they get bashed?
@@masonb9788 yea I get you…such a fine balance between trying to be creative and trying to be mass appealing to make the most money. I think the latter would win every time
@@karlsenula9495 hahah I’ll look into it. From the house of Pork,introducing bacon farts. A rich creamy fragrance that has a slightly sour opening,but dries down into something more musky. For those wanting to “stand out” from the crowd….
Perfect representation of the “frag comm” is what happened with Gucci guilty absolute. We want something bold and original! Alberto- okay here’s Guilty absolute. Not like that!!! We meant we want the same niche fragrances that everyone talks about redone slightly!!!
This is because the masses have really bad taste. That applies to just about everything, from food, art, music, clothes, etc, etc. That is the cold truth.
Gucci guilty black is unbelievable and criminally, criminally underrated in the community
I’ve never tried that but think Gucci Guilty Intense is really nice, yet is never talked about.
@@bassacoustic1549 it’s great fragrance bro
my fav from the line
@@bassacoustic1549 yeah, I have both and they smell great. Guilty black is more my cup of tea but guilty intense is def still a compliment puller
@@buckseyboy lol yea ok bud and Joe Biden is funnier then Jim Carey
Once a fragrance is discontinued after a few months it becomes an unsung masterpiece and a must-have.
Just like how everyone has that one "batch variation" that last forever and smells better than whatever bottle someone else has.
Could we get a video of the opposite? Fragrances that had a lot of hype that critics loved but didn't sell well.

It happens all the time, I could never understand the hate because this Frag is LOVED by women!
La nuit de l'homme for me, I hate it but everyone seems to love it! It smells like something my dad would have worn in the 90s!
Definitely my favorite! My nose is sensitive and easily offended and I love L'Homme.
I love gucci guilty black ..that is a compliment bomb 💣..I love it😅😅😅
Born In Roma is the Invictus clone that smells better than Invictus.
Agree
I can confirm, it was a gift so i couldn'd change it
i love guilty black and born in roma! the woody piney green feel i get from guilty black and the spicy sweet feel from born in roma are definitely 2 freshies that could be pulled off well in colder weather

The "Invictus" note breakdown for Born in Roma got me.
It's bad
I just bought Gucci Guilty Black and I like it soo much. I got so many compliments 😎🖤
I like born in roma. Smells similar to Invictus but still different enough to make it it's own. Received quite a few compliments. Appreciate you sharing!

I nearly died when I saw the note break down for Born in Roma being just invictus.☠️☠️☠️💀💀💀
It smells horrible. Like an old lady made out of candy
Ash! I hope to see you at Scent Explorer 2021! It wouldn't be Scent Explorer without you! You rock my friend! Max the man has done it again! Love that guy!
Didn't know this channel existed, let alone this niche of videos. UA-cam recommended it to me. Can't say I'm complaining at all.
I love the way Chrome smells.
Smells futuristic.
I don’t wear anymore cause everyone around me will know I’m wearing chrome. Another reason I don’t wear it cause a lot of older Latin dads rock this at parties all the times. Ladies please stop buying chrome for your dads bday 😬
Same reason I don’t wear it even tho it’s fire
Great video and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
Wow, a "The Critic" reference thumbnail. Wasn't expecting that haha
I wonder what percentage of his audience knows what the Critic is and made the connection?
@@jmarsh22 I only know from The Simpsons
@@jmarsh22 I was a kid when it came out but loved the show lol.
Born in roma gives me the most compliments
I watched this because I buy Guilty all the time. Most complimented fragrance I’ve ever worn.
I got Gucci Guilty Black in a monthly subscription to sample once and absolutely loved it, and received so many compliments!!!
@Gents Scents how do you think that this Gucci Stacks up against the polo (green) edt? Would love to hear your answer
Gucci Guilty Black is one of the greatest green ✅ cologne!
Bad boy EDP is worth the sample and try cause I like it a lot and gets me lots of compliments
Bad Boy Le Parfum is a masterpiece! I don’t care for Bad Boy EDT, in my opinion the EDT is terrible. I think people don’t realize that Le Parfum is a completely different scent.
You post a video right after i returned from shopping with among other things new fragrances and some to restock the shelf, oh hit me xD
I had gucci guilty and once I got a whiff of gucci guilty black I was hooked. I still buy this fragrance but Bleu de Chanel edp has replaced it as my #1
This is one of my favorite videos from Ash thus far. More fragrance bashing please!
You got it!
I have Gucci guilty intense EDT and it smells great 👍
Great lavender fragrance. So underrated and barely spoken about on UA-cam. Perfect for cold weather.
Gucci Guilty Black reminds me of basically an amped up Irish Spring soap. That's the vibe i get from it. How could anyone hate that?

I have the valentino yellow dream & get lots of compliments compared to alot of my other fragrances .
That Gucci guilty symbol looks like Batman.
Guilty black is a alright fragrance I like it
Love the channel Ash!
Acqua Di Gio Absolu is in the line of “Invictus” style as well, but it’s my favorite out of the line. Super compliment pulled too.

Hello, does anyone have experience of Bahoma London fragrances for men ? I think it's new. Anyone experience?
The thumbnails have been on point lately.
I bought Bad Boy when it 1st came out, I immediately loved it. I haven't met anyone where I live that hates it. Honestly I'm surprised it was on this list
Great video. Thanks bro
Gucci guilt y is super popular
Maybe cuz of the bottle and the brand ?
Noy my favorite but id buy it a lot whem i first started getting into fragrances
Its black and its clearly a male fragrance from the look and it is a designer fragrance so a safe bet for a begginer
The Gucci Guilty line, while mostly safe and versatile, they are compliment pullers
i like the Chrome haven´t tried the other once
Great take on these
Great topic,, aroma from heaven
You need to put on a fragrance stand up comedy show...
Got ma stimmy on hold waiting for u.
Gucci Guilty Black is my no-brainer office scent and it never fails me.

I'm gonna wear my Gucci Pour Homme 2 to do my food shopping !🤭
I have a bottle thats almost full.im going to spray it on right now just because..

I really like gucci black, valentino and bad boy. Oh man ^^

The original Tiffany for Men was an awesome fragrance, same can be said for the discontinued ladies fragrance.
I agree about the gucci but Gucci guilty absolute is amazing
Hate the sea salt note in perfumes. Dark perfumes all the way. Ali from London uk
Lol the note breakdown for Born in Roma
Chrome spray it on your fingers . And then apply across a small amount, Invictus on hot 🥵 summer day .
The opening on Roma is awesome!!
Guilty edp is still really great to me
I agree with you, but Unfortunately, inexplicably my wife love some of them...way?!!!!
dumping on a simple safe fragrance for being simple and safe isnt being sophisticated, its being an elitist. simple and safe have there place, and something that does it well is even better. okay im done defending the original gucci guilty lol
At this point ,the critics don't matter anymore.
Valentino & chrome never disappoints
Steven has always praised Gucci guilty black, I like it too.
Switch the CH badboy with the prive
Azzaro chrome was my go too so i dont hate it
Tiffany & Co or whatever the fragrance called is fine
All the rest i do hate and many newer ones everyone talks about
