I own Hawas, Bade'e al Oud Honor & Glory, Gary's Den, Dylan Blue, & Parfum Pour Homme -- all great fragrances with above-average performance. Been eyeballin' Acqua Essenziale Blu for about a week now, and will add to the arsenal soon! I have a few other fragrances and shoes I need to cop first.
Acqua Essenziale Blu and Dylan Blue are both great. Not cloning each other for sure but both are blue and both created by Alberto Morillas, hence the similarity.
Aqcua Essenziale Blu is probably one of my favorites...bought it years back on your recommendation!!! So glad I did!!!!!! Drakkar Intense is no slouch either, smells SO good!!
I have a good amount of niche and high end designer fragrances but whenever I’ve worn honor and glory it always sparks a conversation that stuff is so good.
I've only worn Honor & Glory a handful of times the past few months, but have to admit it's kinda of a guilty pleasure fragrance for me. It really does smell like a pineapple cake with a bit of cinnamon sprinkled on it.
Supremacy Not Only Intense is definitely a beast on my skin! It does disappear to my nose but hours in to it I have gotten compliments! Here I thought It vanished lol keep up the hard work Ross! 💪🏼
Probably the most solid list on this topic. I have 7/10 of these. Never tried Honor and Glory, Joop Le Parfum, and Garys den (I have a few Dior homme clones already) Keep it up brother!
Dylan blue, that damn pachouli note enthralls me, so damn good. My next frag I buy will be FG aqua blue if you say it smells even a little like Dylan blue I know it will be a hitter
Dylan blue is amazing and Bade al oud and glory is 🔥 nice review and choice's of top ten love the video Ross stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
Have you ever tried Dumont Nitro Red? It’s a cheapie for like $35 that I am almost sure you would enjoy if you haven’t tried it yet. Very good compliment factor
I always watch your videos, because I like the way you explain how fragrances smell, and I have found that your taste and mine are similar. Actually, you are the reason why I have fragrances like "Missoni Wave" and others. But you asked us to tell you which of those you presented here have been a disappointment, and that (for me) is Rasasi "Hawas". It is not that I consider it unpleasant, but it isn't. what I was expecting it to be, so I sold it to a friend for halve the price I paid.
Ross, I've got a recommendation for ya brotha. Choco Musk EDP by Al-Rehab. One of the best vanilla/chocolate scents ive smelled. Also, It's under $10 for 50 ml on Amazon! I get great performance & longevity. I don't need Chocolate Greedy anymore. This stuff SLAPS!
Been enjoying the khair pistachio you recomended..and had to go full sized on the lemon dulci you were enjoying, got another kayali inspired on the way now from paris corner december vanilla have you tried that yet?? Want to see if i can rock that while i was ordering coffee eternal.. thanks for the experience brother!!!
I have a question about testers. I have seen them for great prices and seen descriptions saying they are authentic and are both used and unused in the same description. So which is it? If they have been sitting out on a counter as a tester then how much is allowed to have been sprayed out and they are allowed to still sell it to you? I was in a store the other day looking to buy some new fragrances and they had bottles sitting out labeled as a tester and they were completely empty. If it's unused but just doesn't have a full presentation or a cap I'm OK with buying them although I do prefer a cap but with the exception of zaharoff and that black phantom I don't really care about presentation. Thanks for any input.
Hi Ross, I have Armaf Iconic , ...do you think Missoni EDP is better / comparable ? Also I think it's finally time for me to pull of the trigger for Acqua Essenziale Blue ( I hope it would be something I would like to Sauvage to be > more powdery , more smooth , less spicy )
But, broooo...I had my sister, my girl, and HER sister, and they couldn't smell it either. Was totally gone in 15 minutes after dousing my arm with it. I dug my nose into my skin....nothing. 😂😂
Dylan blue no joke
True story i just got a 200ml for under £60 not sure what that is in $ they had 200s on eros parfum and flame edp so grabbed all 3
@@Millerman84where is that in the UK mate 😊
@Millerman84 you can get a 6.7 oz for like $75-$80. Awesome deal for what you're getting. Every man should have a bottle in my opinion 👍 love it
Huh?
And the gift set with the after shave lotion lets you moisten up and double up on the scent
Salvatore ferragamo aqua essenziale blu hands down better than Dylan blue! I have both love both but salvatore just grabs my attention!

Joop is my og scent. Started wearing it 25 years ago and still using it today. Very unique smell.

Aqcua Essenziale Blu is probably one of my favorites...bought it years back on your recommendation!!! So glad I did!!!!!! Drakkar Intense is no slouch either, smells SO good!!
I 100% bought Acqua essenziale blu off of your reviews and recommendations and it's one of the best in my collection! Thank you my man!!
Drakkar Intense! Wohoo! Classic, my jam too!
@michaelblake244 bro thank you for that info.. I'm gonna buy it.. I love beastly fragrances 👌🏿
Bought Essenziale Blu based on your recommendation over two years ago. So glad I did. I get a compliment every time I wear it. Thank you!
Just order Dylan blue , explorer platinum, artisan acqua, and xx artisan .. should be all set for the warmer weather that’s on the way
I have a good amount of niche and high end designer fragrances but whenever I’ve worn honor and glory it always sparks a conversation that stuff is so good.
Thinking of picking up the Acqua Essenziale Blu...
I did. It's very good. Probably gonna pick up a spare.
I've only worn Honor & Glory a handful of times the past few months, but have to admit it's kinda of a guilty pleasure fragrance for me. It really does smell like a pineapple cake with a bit of cinnamon sprinkled on it.
I picked up aqua essenziale blu last week, and it's arriving tomorrow afternoon. Looking forward to seeing what all the hype is about.
Except Gary's den and bade al oud I own all other colognes. And my favorite is Essenziale Blu
I bought the Dylan Blue on your recommendation. It does not disappoint and is amazing. It is currently my office scent.
Great video Ross!!! Bought several of these based on your recommendations and all have been great! I wore Acqua Essenziale Blue today! Love it!
Supremacy Not Only Intense is definitely a beast on my skin! It does disappear to my nose but hours in to it I have gotten compliments! Here I thought It vanished lol keep up the hard work Ross! 💪🏼
I like Missoni Pour Homme more than Missoni wave. If i could only keep one cheapie it’d be Missoni Pour Homme.
Probably the most solid list on this topic. I have 7/10 of these. Never tried Honor and Glory, Joop Le Parfum, and Garys den (I have a few Dior homme clones already) Keep it up brother!
Just bought AEB for $23. Will be here in a few days. Can’t wait to try it out.
Just Ordered the Gary’s Den. Cant wait. Never smelled DHP before
Great video TLTG
Funny you should mention it, 'cos I've got a bottle of Joop! Homme Le Parfum on the way since I've managed to pick it up for £30!
This was an incredible video Ross! Definitely going to purchase Missioni Parfum Pour Homme.
Definitely want to purchase Afnan 9am Dive as well
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
Way underrated are Rasasi Fattan(Terre d'hermes clone) and La Yuqawam(Tom Ford tuscan leather). And for Guerlain fans- Supreme L'homme
Love this list! Keep it up.
I just received my bottle of afnan not only intense and i have to say i thought it would be more smokey or woody. It smells beautiful nonetheless
Dylan blue, that damn pachouli note enthralls me, so damn good. My next frag I buy will be FG aqua blue if you say it smells even a little like Dylan blue I know it will be a hitter
Rasasi Hawas smells the same as Dunhill Icon Racing?
Im so late to
The party with that afnan that is my next purchase
Good morning Ross sotd armaf not only intense 👍🔥💯 good video today.
Great video Ross!!!!
I would add Afnan Turathi Blue to the list
Dylan blue is amazing and Bade al oud and glory is 🔥 nice review and choice's of top ten love the video Ross stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
GREAT CLASSIC LIST!!
Have you ever tried Dumont Nitro Red? It’s a cheapie for like $35 that I am almost sure you would enjoy if you haven’t tried it yet. Very good compliment factor
Great job Ross
I honestly prefer Missoni over bleu de chanel but I’ve never smelled the parfum.
Narciso rodriguez pour homme in the grey bottle simple yet sophisticated manly scent Ross get ur nose on it!

NICELY done Ross, keep up the good work. SOTD RASASI DAAREJ
“If you think this stuff is weak, your nose is wearing out sir!” Hilarious😂
Idk if you have tried it but Vintage Radio is a 🔥 clone of Paragon! It’s so freaking good man
Versace Dylan Blue is the compliment king.
Beasts for me that i love
Valentino born in roma intense
1 million lucky
And prob the best of all lataffa maahir legacy

I had to try rasasi hawas I have the deereq and it's sexy scent profile on me

Want to see if i can rock that while i was ordering coffee eternal.. thanks for the experience brother!!!
I think my favorite fresh DNA is the DHC/JCI/MBC one. Do you think if they make a higher concentration of DHC, it’ll still be as enjoyable ?

What do you think about Montblanc Legend spirit or Afnan Turathi blue for summer?
How many sprays of Dylan Blue do you recommend? I've seen that you need 6 sprays on the neck to have a good effect
LOL My SOTD is actually Joop Le Parfum.
Nitro Red is my new favorite Invictus type fragrance and it’s a beast 😤🔥
Drakkar Intense doesn’t last more than 4 hours max (tested with different friends). Batch from 2023
Good to know. That's not my experience.
I didn't like that one. Something in the drydown smells off. Tossed mine.
Still cold in my neck of the woods so can still get away with Halloween Man X
But, broooo...I had my sister, my girl, and HER sister, and they couldn't smell it either. Was totally gone in 15 minutes after dousing my arm with it. I dug my nose into my skin....nothing. 😂😂
😂 stop it Will
Joope good money, you can walk through a car wash and still smell it
Dry down of Dylan Blue smells like eggs on my skin
I tried Gary’s den, eh, not my thing. My wife didn’t like it either.
