FRENCH LOVER is sooo amazing. For as natural as it smells, it has great performance. No rough edges at all. It's a masterful composition. For me, it's the best Spring scent you can wear. LOVE IT!
Nobody does a masculine like Pierre Bordoun, who composed French Lover. With a resume that includes Kourous, cool water, montblanc individuelle, MDCI parfumes amber topkapi, I wish he does more.
So I bought the discovery set that had six masculine scents. Of course I really like Monsieur, but I actually like the smell of French Lover more. But my sample of French Lover had very poor performance, like a skin scent within an 2 hours. I'd be interested in seeing a follow up on that scent in particular.
I have full bottle of Promise and Portrait of a Lady and decants of The Moon, Carnal Flower, Irish Poudre, Musc Ravageur and Monsieur... Promise and POAL I absolutely love! Next target is Carnal Flower, The Moon and Musc Ravageur!
I’ve really loved the few fragrances I’ve gotten to smell and sample from this house. Music for a While is probably one of my favorites. Would love to hear more of your thoughts on more of this house for sure
Awesome takes, Ashton! Would love to hear your thoughts on more Frederic Malle. So glad to see you and Eugene connect-love both your channels. I’m getting a FM sample set soon. How would you rank Vetiver Extraordinarie vs Sultan Vetiver vs Sycomore vs Incident Diplomatique? As for French Lover-would you compare it to anything else?
I'm a long time fan of yours and I've discovered Eugene over the past year. I'm so happy you decided on this review... And with, by all accounts, having such an amazing collection I would really enjoy you exploring your collection with us... Indie,niche, expensive, cheap, rarely talked about gems. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying if you went " off road" with your reviews I would certainly follow. Thanks for the consistently great content Ashton
Not at the start but closer at the drydown, since FL is very green initially, and SW not so much. They are both spicy and woody, but SW is more safer and a lot less green. They to me have some resemblance, SW is more pleasing and smooth, while FL is more green, rooty and more rough around the edges. The longer it goes, the closer they get to each other. The drydown to me is pretty close if i am honest, since it is mainly spices and woods for both of them.
Very impressive how Ash describes the fragrances! When you spoke about vetiver, my das thinks that vetiver smells old 😂 Could you make a Video about vetiver fragrances?
French lover is great. Carnal Flower however is one of my top 3 scents of all time, so try that if u dont know it. What a fantastic house FM is and Ropion is a personal hero. FYI, the WC boxer Tyson Fury wears FM Portrait of a Lady.
French Lover is my big purchase for the year. I havent really smelled majority of the malles. The only ones I have tried aside from French Lover are POAL, bigarade concentree, carnal flower, superstition, and lys mediteranee. Bigarade for me has too much of a similarity to TDH eau tres fraiche.
FM as a brand is fantastic, my faves are Vetiver Extraordinaire, Cologne Indelebile and L’Eau D’Hiver Also try Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier another great house.
VetiverEx one of my go-to spring vetivers for quite some time. Interestingly enough, Portrait of a Lady gets so much talk but I always preferred French Lover to that one. Promise still my favourite to wear from the line though. Wait till we get to a sample of The Night.... got TP? 🧻🧻🧻
I wouldn’t be buying anything from any of the Grey Market sellers- read reviews of these sites- sketchy. You can buy these scents in 10/30/50/100ml sizes, the 10ml/30ml bottles are more affordable.

How about summer?
It's an all year frag

I’m a big fm fan for me the two best are musc ravageur & gerranium pour monsieur
Among Frederic Malle collection, I love Musc Ravageur and French Lover the best. I think they're not that polarizing for niche scents, either.
French Lover is probably the sexiest fragrance I've ever smelled on a guy.
French Lover was definitely on my radar - after seeing your reaction, I think I'm sold.
Me too,I just ordered a bottle this morning!! Ash, if you're listening, we'd love to see a full review on French Lover, please!!
It's amazing. I had a sample of it. It's beautiful.
You seem taken back by the high quality and complexity. Great reviews!
Thanks Ashton! I always enjoy your content. Hope all is well with you and Chelsey. Stay safe and take care, Ginny 😘😘😘
Dries Van Noten I didn't know he had Perfumes
I'm from Belgium and he's a great designer here
I love French lover. Not lots of people mention it.
I’ve had few bottles of FL but this is a scent that sticks close to my skin, not much projection. It is a beautiful scent
I’m sold on French lover. You’ve convinced me lol💯
I'm getting french lover for sure.. 1. Because you said it's fantastic and 2. Because I smelled musc ravageur and thought it was freaking amazing
I’ve really loved the few fragrances I’ve gotten to smell and sample from this house. Music for a While is probably one of my favorites. Would love to hear more of your thoughts on more of this house for sure
I love French lover myself. My first fm
Musc Ravageur is by far the best FM fragrance.
Dries van Noten is my cold weather signature. My niece really likes it, says that I smell like cookies and milk👌
Please do a review on the new Pineapple Vintage Intense The One
Awesome takes, Ashton! Would love to hear your thoughts on more Frederic Malle. So glad to see you and Eugene connect-love both your channels.

I wish you had reviewed "Portrait of a Lady" next.
Everybody and their cat has reviewed that one. Yeah it’s a beautiful fragrance. We ALL know. I own it. End of story
@@Puddycat00 I disagree, I don't know it, and would love to hear Ashton talk about it and review it.
@@aaronstein947 lol literally every youtuber has reviewed it for real.. lol
Portrait of a Lady? Here's my review:
Strong, synthetic, "plasticky" smelling rose. Smells like a brand new plastic beach ball smeared with rose oil.
I need some feedback on Musc Ravageur Ashton!!
Yes more please, there are some amazing Malle fragrances
Great first impressions and can't wait to see full reviews on these fragrances and have a blessed day
French Lover (also called Bois D'orage) is one of my top 5 all-time
I love Malle! Great video bro

Great video. Follow up please. I have outrageous by Frederic it’s an amazing summer scent
LOVED this video Ash ! Cheers from Italy ! :)
French lover is my every day. Love it just as much as the first time I laid nostrils on it.
DAVIDOFF COOL WATER AQUAMAN !!! get on it
Not a lot of people have left reviews on Replica perfumes why?
Sotd vetiver extraordinaire, wonderful fragrance
No musc ravageur! Wow I'm amazed
Does french lover have Any resemblance to spice&wood from creed?
walid1974 kind of but more green notes

Yes its a better version of spice & wood done by the same perfumer for a different house 👌 I'd take french love any day of the week over S&W
Very impressive how Ash describes the fragrances!
When you spoke about vetiver, my das thinks that vetiver smells old 😂
Could you make a Video about vetiver fragrances?
Right on time Ash! I’m in the process of testing some Frederic Malle myself and it’s great to hear your thoughts.
Can't wait for the follow up
French lover is great. Carnal Flower however is one of my top 3 scents of all time, so try that if u dont know it. What a fantastic house FM is and Ropion is a personal hero.
FYI, the WC boxer Tyson Fury wears FM Portrait of a Lady.
Ash try please another samples by Frederic Malle, we are waiting for it!
Thanks for the review☺ There's one fragrance from Frédéric Malle with super performance : Monsieur
Yes!! I was waiting for that! Lol both of these are awesome
Love French Lover btw, got me 100ml recently
I love this house... Musc Ravageur is spectacular
Dries Van Noten is very nice. I have all u mentioned except the vetiver one. Not a fan of vetiver,
Anyone who haven’t smelled Musc Ravgeur...and love vanilla..DOO IT. *Its life changing.*
Just ordered yesterday french lover. Glad to see you liked it also!
whoop whoop, Eugene fan here!

More! Thanks!
Great viddy Ash! Would love to hear more about these, and you have definitely peaked my interest here. Be well and stay safe! 💪👍
Great video! Would love to hear your thoughts on some other FM fragrances like Musc Ravageur :)
This is great stuff-big fan of Frederic Malle. Would love to hear your take on Bigarade Concentre, Dan te bras, Cologne Indelible, and L'Eau d'Hiver.
I need to try more fm . I always want to find one fragrance from every house that i might get one day ! Love this
I love Portrait of a Lady.
it seems that you have started with lighter FM, the hefty one still coming. Loved your input and wish to do more of FM
Go with Portrait of a Lady is just savage
It's too feminine for me honestly :( wish I liked it
More FM samples!!
can you do a review on moon fever by Memo Paris, sounds very nice
I miss THIS guy
Ash pls do your personal top 10 vetiver fragrance list
Now were talking 👌
Please do work through the rest!
Dries van Noten has to be one of the classiest vanilla's. Wouldn't mind a bottle someday
Une rose is a natural smelling rose,but it's expensive.thanks for the video Ash 👍
Why don’t you shut off the camera and come back a few hours later and do the dry down review in the same video?
Try Promise. Masterpiece imo
For whatever reason, French Lover smells like dill pickles to me. Not for me, but appreciate the video exploring these scents.
I didn’t like French lover. I DO love Monsieur, that is masculine patchouli in a bottle
Portrait of a lady and carnal flower!
When Gents Scents talks about niche fragrances >>>>
💺💺💺💺💺💺💺 #wackpack here's your front row seats

Where's the clap? :)
Seriously! Every Fu*kin video 🙄🤷♂️

You can actually just shave it off you know.

You can buy these scents in 10/30/50/100ml sizes, the 10ml/30ml bottles are more affordable.
Really interesting to see your take, I love all of these lol. Shout out to EUGENE #whackpack
Say “folded into,” one more time 😫💦
