About the Hermes Voyage bottle: the design originates from an Edwardian Era travel bottle. Men had the coolest toiletry cases, usually fine leather, often sterling silver fittings - in a compartmentalized case with sections for cologne & shaving gear to corkscrews and cigar cutters. So every possible thing a happening dude would want as he travels the world aboard the luxury liner of his choice, in one case. Regarding the Hermes bottle, the chrome would have been sterling silver.
A couple of days ago I went to the department store to buy a fragance, I was looking to try Givency Gentleman Boisee and Reserve priveé, and some of the other ones that are popular amongst fragance youtubers, but when they got me Blue Noir Parfum to try, I inmediately loved it, it was like nothing elses I tried, including those famous hyped fragances, I just had to buy it.
Definitely agree I voted Narcisco Rodrigues Bleu noir a 10/10 as well! It’s my favorite Iris fragrance to date! Muuuuch more wearable than Dior homme intense!! And generally cheaper. Back up bottle worthy. I smell that this one won’t be around for long.. get it while you can!
Just recently got it and it's definitely growing on me. It's just now starting to not have that lipstick smell. Once I stop thinking about it that way, it smells wonderful.
The one Luminous Night tooks months for me to smell 😅. I blind bought it and I couldn't smell it at all. Thought I had a fake. But 3 months later I can now smell it and wow what a beautiful scent. Amazing
Finally got mine. Me and my wife both felt it smelled just like the One EDP with a slight bit of sweetness, but I must say after a week it's changed quite a bit. You may be onto something.
@@saulgoodmanandriese8658 It's a musk based fragrance like the rest of the line. The Iris & Suede really set it apart from the others to me. None of them are really sweet to me. They're just versatile fragrances. If you like Iris, you'll love it. If you enjoy the others, you'll enjoy the Parfum.
Preach it Ash! I adore Elixir. Eventhough I know a lot of people will say that Asad from Lataffa is a better stand in, but that’s far from true. I like spraying Asad around the house for the feeling of having that bubble of similarity. However, when I go out, it’s gotta be Elixir 100%
Muglar Cologne is great except performance is terrible which is why I typically only use it for the gym. I wish this frag would have a flanker that had great performance. Creed Vetiver is basically almost the same thing with better performance but 10 the price and performance is just a little bit better.
If you want luminous night and don't want to spend 100 buy duas one and only luminous it's actually stronger in smell and lasts longer, and I have both, trust me buy it.
@@nickl6362 I sometimes wonder if I spoke fluent Arabic could I find an easier time acquiring certain things, like fr if you were a businessman going through you could jack the prices so high on some Middle East limited editions.
Your comment made me laugh. It's funny and accurate. Been looking for some time in my country, but it's either way overpriced or impossible to get most of the time. And I don't feel like dropping niche pricing for a designer fragrance lol
Went to Sephora at the Mall of Dubai and Mall of the Emirates and confirmed with management that Luminous Night has been discontinued and is not available any longer at retail in Sephora. I did find it at Sephora in Bahrain and bought one of two remaining bottles in March of this year. Its now sold out in the middle east.
Had to get a decant of The One Luminous Night from Etsy cause you can't get the bottle anywhere. Absolutely love how it smells. Will definitely buy a bottle as soon as I can find one.
No designer fragrance encapsulates the essence of the ocean quite like Aqva Marine Pour Homme by Bvlgari. I've been living in a heat wave the last few days by Canadian standards, and Aqva Marine has kept me cool just by smelling like the beach
I'm really kicking myself for not buying mugler cologne back when the huge bottles were dirt cheap. Prices are high after the revamp and additions to the line.
@@Jack_Jake You can't say "Nahh" then respect other opinion at the same time. If you like lighter scent more floral, y edp is the answer. If you like a bit intense & still floral, y parfum is the answer. If you like intense & less aromatic, y intense is the answer.
He got most wanted parfum. Another fragrance to change it up, else snowflakes will complain it is always the same fragrances being talked about. But most wanted, most wanted parfum and wanted by night all smell like fire!
I tried with Luminous Night, I really did. But all I got from it was a weird, fuzzy, synthetic fragrance that I wish I'd never bothered going to the effort of getting. Overhype at it's finest.
Last video: Noir Extreme Parfum is the better than the original Noir Extreme... This video: Noir Extreme Original is a 10/10 🙄.... So does this mean Parfum is 11/10?
Smart lady. Nothing gets by you does it ? If he said TF noir extreme parfum, everyone would say: always the same fragrances. People that love complaining find something. Go watch Jeremy and leave this community if your only reason to watch these is to hate and be nitpicky...
Please stop calling it Acqua de Joe… I have NO Armani fragrances and still it grates me to hear you mangle that for whatever reason you do it… thank you
Too bad the clones are taking over these days ! Too bad for creativity and originality. But great for us, cos we get the taste of the original from the clones at just a fraction of the cost. ❤ For example Trecento Noir from Pendora. Now i wonder why i bought 3 bottles of TF Noir Extreme. I just cant make any difference. Just a tad bit richer smell from the TF for 6 times more money 😢
While I feel bad for you having discovered this a little late, I respect you for accepting reality for what it is. The amount of guys in these comments that continue trying argue why we should spend $700 on the OG BR540 induces a lot of eye rolls.
Not a fan of profondo, but I do agree that I personally don't like a lot of the elixir balsamic stuff coming out and my coworkers don't seem to like them either. I personally think this stuff will go away within the next few years and be fazed out. We'll see.
@@ThirtyThreeHipHop we've got an over sprayer of sausage elixir and YSL y parfum at work and it's a running joke. Everyone HATES them both. So maybe you're just smarter with the trigger. Haha. Glad you like it.
@@_WadeBuchanan_ OH Absolutely, I have my own office, so can be a bit experimental, but I only wear it to the office in below 60 degree weather, when I don't have meetings with others in tight quarters. I wear Y Parfum to the office alot of days too, but you have to really overdose on that one for it to actually be offensive. Like 12 Sprays. My current safe office go to fragrances are: Prada L'Homme Vetiver Sensual Y Parfum Detour Noir

Thanks for that interesting insight. You are probably one of the few who knew this. Again, thanks for sharing it.

Can’t wait for Dior Elixer Intense 😅
This comment was spot on. Just saw it. But nice job!! Very underrated 😂
Dior Sauvage Elixir Intense Eau Extreme 😂
My 10/10 is YSL Kouros 10 sprays lasts you 10 days !

I have a Dior Sauvage Elixir which I use in both seasons, and a Chanel Edition Blanche for both seasons as well! Jackpot! 😄
Allure Homme Edition Blanche is my favorite in the line. It may be out of production.
@@MrDanielWP It's not out of production. It's for sale on the Chanel site right now.
Bleu Noir Parfum is a 12 out of 10 for me. So incredible. One of the best work scents as well. People love it.
Is it sweet too? Because I like perfumes that have a sweet side

Luminous Knight is indeed off the chain lol. I love that one a lot!

Colognes don’t perform. Why is this so hard for everyone to accept ? Just spray more throughout the day
Chanel Edition Blanche is 10/10 for me. Especially for summer
Haven’t pulled the trigger yet because a lot of people are bashing the longevity 😱 ! Maybe time to give it a go this summer ☀️ !
@@Aoelx do it!! You won’t regret it perfect blend of vanilla and lemon
Lovely juice 🔥
@@AffyR ahh lemon fragrance smell like dishwashers to me
The bean edition is better
Very nice list, Ash! For me, the best one in Dior sauvage EDT ... I appreciate more EDT than Elixir ....
I thought I would give this Lalique Amber Noir a purchase as it’s £40 in uk.. and I’m so glad I did!! Definitely top shelf!!
If you want luminous night and don't want to spend 100 buy duas one and only luminous it's actually stronger in smell and lasts longer, and I have both, trust me buy it.
The One Luminous Night is the Where's Waldo fragrance of the frag community imo. Can't find it anywhere!!! Would love to have a bottle.
Amazon has one left...if you wanna pay that lol
Got mine while transferring through an airport in the middle east

@Roy exactly. It's proving to not be The One to look for right now 😆.

I did find it at Sephora in Bahrain and bought one of two remaining bottles in March of this year. Its now sold out in the middle east.
I have three bottles of luminous night. Picked up from donatella perfumes in Florida.
I don't think any of these are close to a 10 but to each their own my friend
I think I'd have to include L'eau D'Issey Pour Homme Noir Ambre in this list. And of course, DHP.
no bleu de chanel parfum?😢
redundant to get the narciso parfum if you have valentino uomo intense already?
Can Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense get an honorable mention?!?
Dior Homme Intense is 10/10
Yea, but dior homme parfum is 11/10.
Only people on the internet like that stuff
Dior homme parfum is the real 10/10
@@wishawlad3635 if it was a 10/10 dior would make it available in stores everywhere
Very lipsticky, it did not appeal to me. I have the DH parfum for sale. Brand new in the sealed box.
Ash you're the goatttt i love you
Had to get a decant of The One Luminous Night from Etsy cause you can't get the bottle anywhere. Absolutely love how it smells. Will definitely buy a bottle as soon as I can find one.
In Europe it's only sold at airport duty free shops so keep your eyes peeled if you have a vacation coming up
Ebay is where I bought mine
Donatella perfumes have it $100. Legit place
Frag buy has it on their site occasionally. Doesn't stay available long, but it shows up. That's how I got it.
No designer fragrance encapsulates the essence of the ocean quite like Aqva Marine Pour Homme by Bvlgari. I've been living in a heat wave the last few days by Canadian standards, and Aqva Marine has kept me cool just by smelling like the beach
Excellent 🎉🎉🎉🎉i know profondo is in there somewhere 😂😂🎉🎉
Imo, Bleu de Chanel Edp is a 10/10. Wish the longevity was a bit longer though.
Completely agree. 10 out of 10 smell but wished it lasted longer.
Compliments will be rolling in guys
Y edp or y edp intense?
I'm really kicking myself for not buying mugler cologne back when the huge bottles were dirt cheap. Prices are high after the revamp and additions to the line.
Ive tried Noir Extreme in Sephora on a few occasions. I get it, but haven't been blown away. Maybe its just being in Sephora 😂
Awesome picks, all, of course, G.O.A.T.! Also however, none better than Victorian Tobacco, IMO.
What does Elixir mean?
Ombre noir is a masterpiece .
YSL Y le Parfum, Eau de Parfum Is my favorite Y by a mile.
Ash, you seem to be a bit more forgiving with that $145 Hermes falling apart, than the $20 Armafs, Lattafas. :D Great content as always.
Would u recommend i wait for the new Parfum or get Profondo
Parfum, IMO.
@@LibertyNotLicense ive been debating getting man eau fraiche too.. but i do want an ADG
Dont like profondo, it has a strong isopropyl alcohol smell that lingers for a while. Profumo still the best of ADG for me.
My favorite as well.Profumo!!
Agreed
I picked up st Kitts the purple bottle
Great video Ash, and as usual, great choices! 🤘
10/10 niche fragrances next!!@
One luminous night . I have 3 bottles of that juice
I get that a lot of people get NR Bleu Noir Parfum for the iris but I’m an EDP man myself.
Would say that the EDP is slightly better than Parfum? Been on the fence between those two
@@Anonymous-pw7bo If you’re an iris nut go with the Parfum. I personally can take it or leave it. I have the EDP.
I prefer EDT Extreme.
The 1 luminous night is the only d&g flanker i cant get in uk :(
I don't think that you're missing much. I have them all and prefer EDP, Gentlemen, and Grey to it.
I think the hermes bottle is a pencil sharpener of old
I think ysl y parfum is far better. Less synthetic and harsh smelling
Great job Ash
The next fragrance from Ash: Blue Steel :)
The One Luminous Night is truly exceptional. Bought my bottle at FragranceBuy.
Elixer is too sweet to me, the Parfum is the best of them all imo. But id never turn any of them down!
Ysl LE Parfum is even better than y edp. It's more refined and smooth imo its 11/ 10
Nah The EDP is better but that is your opinion & mine
@@Jack_Jake
You can't say "Nahh" then respect other opinion at the same time.
If you like lighter scent more floral, y edp is the answer.
If you like a bit intense & still floral, y parfum is the answer.
If you like intense & less aromatic, y intense is the answer.
@@apair4002 I actually can it’s very common to disagree yet respect someone’s opinion.
The best lalique is still hommage a l'homme Voyageur. Sadly discontinued.
Para mi también Encre Noire a l'extreme y Moschino Toy Boy son un 10/10. Hay muchos 👃🇨🇱
Sauvage and any other of its flankers, including Elixir= Smell like any other bro at the club. So overplayed.
If you want to smell unique, rub animal feces on you and go to the club, no one will smell like you!
The one luminous night is a bath and body midnight pomegranate clone. You're welcome.
Voyage? Nautica?
Gimme my sail bottle over that flippity hippity hip hop bottle any day.
Where is Azzarro Wanted by Night?
He got most wanted parfum. Another fragrance to change it up, else snowflakes will complain it is always the same fragrances being talked about. But most wanted, most wanted parfum and wanted by night all smell like fire!
I have all 3. Mysterious, Luminous and Royal. Your early morning FOMO won’t work on me brother.
Dior Savauge elixir is literally the worst scent I’ve ever smelled. I returned that to Jomas Shop the same day. My wife couldn’t stand it either.
i want dior sauvage but the thing is that everyone has it
I tried with Luminous Night, I really did. But all I got from it was a weird, fuzzy, synthetic fragrance that I wish I'd never bothered going to the effort of getting. Overhype at it's finest.
For you maybe. I think it's awesome.
I've been tracking Luminous Night for a while now.
How did I guess Sauvage Elixir would be first?

Because you watched it first? Or maybe you think this every video you watch. Eventually you would be right. Even a broken clock is right twice a day!
