I got Zanzibar for like $23 a few months ago and I’m not mad at all. I’ve learned they all come down especially Middle Eastern. Just don’t get caught in the hype. You’ve lived this long without so a few months won’t hurt you.
You lack laser focus and are easily annoyed and distracted if this bothers you. Imagine everything in your daily life that gets on your nerves. Chill out
Does it get stronger? I sprayed some on at a store before I went out for dinner and I could hardly smell it unless I stuck my nose into my wrist then it was gone after dinner.
@@umpus it's not just stronger, but it smells different as well. The Mirabel note on the top adds such an addictive sweet scent. Plus it depends where you spray it, because when I spray it on my chest and back of my neck (I use like 2-3 sprays MAX) it projects pretty well not like a beast, but the longevity is beast level, it lasted 9-10 hours on me (the projection drops down by the 4th hour tho, but it still has the skin scent, even after a shower I could get hints of it on my skin)
@@Alritealritealritewell in my opinion it smells alot better than the EDT, but if you have the EDT already there is no point spending soooo much on the parfum, because you'll probably end up not using one or the other. It's probably better to opt for another type of fragrance. But if money isn't a factor I'd definitely get it in a heartbeat.
Ive been wearing the H24 this summer. Absolutely true the drydown changes radically and it doesn't't last much. Im happy with the buy but I don't think ill wear it next summer. Ive been using Lattafa asad Zanzibar too and it will definitely be my go to next summer
Hey Ash!!! Thanks again. I love having a mentor at 71 years old. I just tried Barrett Fragrances, and I noticed that none of my most respected UA-camrs mention them. If you think they are worthy, can you do a video on them. Granted I have a very old nose, but I have watched every one of your videos going back years, ergo I must be a fragrance genius...lol. I received five samples of Barrett, and I think they are def worthy of a GS video. Thanking you in advance! Your humble servant...Larry
@@grandis_ There’s a a huge difference between a bad fragrance and an overpriced. Is Erba Pura bad? No is it overpriced for what it is? Yes. This is the same thing. I personally prefer Y Elixir to Y EDP but not enough to justify the price difference. If it was at that same price point as Y EDP, it’d be a decent deal, but it just isn’t worth it at the actual price it’s at. But personally I don’t believe it’s a “bad” fragrance at all.
I got Asad Zanzibar and mine to me smelled like wet cement. I don’t know if I got a bad batch or something. It honestly grosses me out. I want to buy another one to see if it was a fluke or does this really smell like this.
Wow i just thinking we need this kind of video and Pow, you already made it, though it seems like its pre-recorded a week or 2 ago, still an amazing video...... What score would you give 2024 overall? Like a c+, b- range? 7.8-8.2
Wearing Zanzibar today. Still getting used to it. I feel like the coconut used smells a little like coconut milk that is starting to slightly go sour. Rest of the notes are nice!
Keep the movie clips and cut aways, there are many fragrance channels, and not many of them entertain. Keep trying the new stuff, it got me to stick around
As a working adult and parent, i appreciate the entertainment value to go along with the information 💪🏿💪🏿 dont let these Karens stop you from using memes or b roll
I own JPGPG and fresh out of the box, tbh I didn't like it at all. The fruity fig accord came across way to synthetic for my liking. But interestingly after letting it set a few weeks, the fig note seemed to develop into more an amazing peppery aspect witch I love. And the overall synthetic vibe has toned way down. It has become my fav in my collection. It's current ranking is well deserved.
H24 Hermes vives blew me away in the store but I waited to pull the trigger for the very reason ash is mentioning…I wanted to make sure the dry down “kept the same energy” as the kids say. It did not…the same energy was not kept. Its a shame bc its so unique and interesting in the opening
Hey, I don’t know if anyone can help me but I was curious what this meant. I purchased cedrat boise from fragrance buy and on the invoice it said “DC batch.” What does DC batch mean I couldn’t find much online.
Personal preference maybe, but the editing style in this one was not for me. The overuse of meme clips felt a little unprofessional compared to your usual standards. I felt it took away from your clean presentation. But hey, maybe this is what people like.
@@tcompound327stop being hostile, he just said it's his own personal preference and shared this respectfully. You are nobody to say that anybody should or should not watch someone's video
@@chicos2993 not being hostile. I’m sharing my opinion just like he did to gent scents. If my opinion is to stop complaining and just don’t watch then that’s my opinion.
I agree. I noticed that he hasn’t used any memes in a while until now in this video. I don’t think his choice of memes here were funny at all 😅 they can be a bit off putting if they’re not kept at a minimal use. At the end of the day Ash is still number one for me 🤙🏻
Is FragerenceNet legit?? I see what you’ve been posting for codes but I’m just searching around and I don’t want to get fake fragrances 😭. I was looking at Walmart and there’s some ok prices, but I see that they have third parties now. I’m not even sure if it’s safe to buy them in store but I just wanna be more educated on these things 😅. Some help me out a little please 😂
Sometimes "bad" atomizers aren't that bad. Those overly pressurized ones create such a fine mist, I feel like I barely get anything on me. Dior seems to have the perfect balanced atomizers. And I just got Paradise Garden, and I just don't think that Le Beau line is for me. Something about it just doesn't appeal for some reason, sadly...
Please don't hate me on this comment. But, so far this year. It's been ridiculously average. Infact compared to last year & 2022 mens fragrance. It's been a big disappointment. Like nothing has been ground breaking, far to many repetitive flankers. I just feel that it hasn't really hit us with something with hero category to it.
I think it's time for you to do a video about maceration vs. maturation. Help clear up the confusion that continues to spread throughout the fragrance community.
It’s a dice roll honestly. I personally wouldn’t as I’ve read some Reddit posts in the past about people receiving fakes from the vendors selling through Walmart. I snagged mine off of Amazon a few months back it’s 100% authentic. The seller was selling Le Beau Le Parfum along with Paradise garden for a very fair price considering its scarcity- hope that helps 🙏
Bashing Lattafa for 50/60/70 $ pricing (more likely those affiliate sites of yours, Ash, priced it high due to hype and demand) for a 100ml Asad Zanzibar, while the designer 50 ml's go for double or more than that?! I guarantee that not one of them justifies the price with the cost of materials and production. They're even using rehashed fragrances, the ones that weren't picked for another brief. Oh, but the QuAliTy. F*** off.
So the Hermes Herbes Vives is the biggest let down fragrance of my collection. The scent itself is incredible but it lasts maybe.... MAYBE ten minutes. You cant smell anything at all after ten minutes. Biggest let down and disappointment ever. Do NOT blind buy that cologne. Try it first.
Coral fantasy is a gem.
100% agree but it’s a 1 event scent since after your date or whatever the scent is gone

im so glad that scandal absolu made it into the list. its easily my favourite scent so far. it just smells soooo addictive.
Does it get stronger? I sprayed some on at a store before I went out for dinner and I could hardly smell it unless I stuck my nose into my wrist then it was gone after dinner.
Is it redundant to the edt ?

Dont even like this one, there are a lot of better fragrances in this type that it feels kinda useless, as does the whole scandal line tbh

not worth the price

I did not like Zanzibar when I first got it, and when I did go back to it, yes it was alot better
I like the H24
Here in Québec city Canada we still don't have Paradise garden
I live in the states and can't find it anywhere (retail stores).
got it from shoppers online a few weeks back..try there Not sure about Quebec shipping though.
