I found in my fragrance journey or lifestyle with about 70 fragrances since June, some niche, some designer and indie, and some very inexpensive fragrances that some of the very inexpensive fragrances under $40.00 are much much better than all the very expensive ones. I really love these reviews. Thank you. :)

Ahhhh my beloved Eau de Rochas Homme. Still have about a half bottle left - the vintage with the clear cap and 'homme' scribbled on the front - and it always gets me. Everytime I wear it, it reminds me of that young English chap wearing L'eau D'Issey having finally grown up. And we've discussed this before AC, but my Aug 2018 bottle of Bentley for men Intense has the same performance issues. I really do suspect there has been a reform because if you watch some of the older reviews, the bottle cap clicks into place. Mine doesn't. Big thumbs up for Versace Man too. Although somewhat ironically, I would find it irresitible on women. Really sexy, especially for Valentine's Day.

about the performance with the Bentley... it's a fragrance that sells very well, so they produce it on fast-forward.. so the maceration is not great on it... use it a few times so that air gets in and leave it a few months on the shelf.. you'll find it richer and with better performance afterwards

Great line up. I tried a Midnight in Paris decant and unfortunately this scent just didn't do anything for me. It seemed uncreative, overly simple although refined and had no punch whatsoever. I will be trying it again in the near future before I give my official review. Also as to Man in Black, I don't believe tobacco is officially listed by Bvlgari but we do often get unlisted notes or at least similar vibes to a known note or accord in certain scent creations. Anyhow, great list. Keep up the classy work AC! BTW I really enjoy Man in Black for sure and Icon as well! Cheers.

Very nice cheapies list. I purchased Bella Notte in March 2017 as part of my Spring Cheapies fling...completely blind-buy (I never heard of it) but I do like some of the Cerruti cheap so what the heck. I immediately liked it and posted that it was a very nice fresh-spicy fragrance with a bit of a masculine edge (for lack of a better term) and never did I equate it to LIDG or LIDGE. Well, I just put it on a short while ago and...yes, it reminded me of toned-down version of LIDG when it opened, but the LIDG vibe quickly subsided after 5-10 minutes. Still, it's a really nice men's woody-spicy-aromatic fragrance that folks should consider. Heck, it's only $20.

@@kennethhenderson5098 As far as unsolicited compliments from the younger gals...no! Hawas reigns supreme as my most complimented fragrance. I am really enjoying Parfums de Marly Layton (one of my newer additions) but, surprisingly, it only receives a small fraction of the number as Hawas...but I don't care because it's awesome. Not too many people are talking about it these days, but Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme comes closest to matching the number of unsolicited compliments that I receive with Hawas: However, Hawas is best received by the ladies from 16-30, while Eau Extreme is better suited for the ladies 25+ Allure Homme Eau Extreme is just an awesome, awesome, awesome fragrance if you don't already have a bottle, and if you're willing to part with $120 for a bottle. Sadly, I recently used my 5 Oz. bottle of the EDT (which would last for 7-8 hours)...but the newer EDP (part of Chanels revamped lineup) only lasts 3-4 hours on my skin. Also, the EDT was a bit brighter and crisper. I don't know if they still make the EDT...but I'm looking for another bottle.

I have tried Black Essenec and I own a bottle, I will review it soon. MIB is a better scent IMHO. HM is for young guys, although it was released 21 years ago. Awesome clubbing scent! I have done a full review , check it out.

Hi. Very good list thanks for that. There's one fragrance that had alot of hype and two years ago i purchased it midnight in Paris. Nice bottle but was very very disappointed in it. As you said doesn't last what so ever. I was very disappointed in that fragrance. I always start of hi, what was your name? 👍

Good evening my friend. Good video, there are some scents here that i'll definitely have to check out. As far as compliments go, the best reactions i've had are from the cheapest fragrance i own Now thats annoying! The scent is Club de Nuit Intense by Armaf. It cost £30 for 100ml. My first impression was Flash Lemon disinfectant (not good) but that calms down after 20 minutes and i get a compliment almost every time i wear it. And it lasts for hours. Check it out chum. Ciao for now.

@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews I have the 2017 bottle and wondered where the great performance was that all reviewers rave about! The same goes for CK Shock. I've written on numerous forums and in comments to videos that the reviews are pointless unless the reviewer mentions the batch code/bottle date of the fragrance they're reviewing. Too much has been reformulated into weaker scents, and the review will just frustrate the viewer if he buys a newer bottle. Secondly, too many newcomers aren't aware of batch codes and need to be educated about it. The industry certainly does everything they can to keep those bottle dates a secret with that archaic batch code structure.

I have all Dunhill Icons i.e. Icon, Absolute,Elite and Racing. These are good fragrances but not worth of what they are asking today. At Debenhams or Notino they are looking like £80 for 100 ml which is just ridiculous. New line is even more expensive. I tried Brithis leather and is good, but wouldn't pay the money od like €100 for 100 ml (I've seen some mad idiots selling this for €250 even), as you can get better frags for these money.

It’s so good that my wife always steals the bottle because she also receives numerous compliments... both formulations are good but it is more of a spring, fall and winter fragrance.
