7 Discontinued Fragrances That I STILL WEAR - Best Discontinued Colognes

[@balazs7235]

Ash, you should definitely include more discontinued fragrances on this channel. I would love to see you review them even! They are a relic of the past and being only 2-3 years into fragrances, most of the crazy discontinued fragrances have long been gone, before I could try any of them. This channel would provide the perfect platform. Anyone that is subscribed, know what they can find here.

[@Cole-gq5cc]

Seconded on reviewing them.

[@kmw1175]

I agree. The number of discontinued fragrances will be huge as time goes by.

[@mind-of-neo]

I think whoever complains to you whenever you talk about discontinued fragrances just hasn't learned how to direct their anger. Imagine getting mad at the person who tells you something used to exist rather than the person/people who made it unavailable. Speaking of directing your anger, I feel like people need to express a lot more outrage at companies when they discontinue a product.

[@andya539]

It's probably mostly people who just want to watch top 10 lists to know what to buy to get compliments

[@Krimzyn__]

discontinued frags will always be endlessly interesting to me. Something is very alluring about how they were once readily available and are now hard to find or forgotten. Even if I most likely won't get to smell any of them, I really enjoy just at least knowing about them.

[@grudeman]

Nothing for me beats Calvin Klein crave! I got a gift set for Christmas 2002, I had many many bottles it was really cheap and such fresh beautiful smelling fragrance. When I think of it I can instantly smell it and it brings back great memories. I'd love to get my hands on a bottle but I won't pay the silly eBay prices.

[@billmark6418]

Play Intense was my signature scent for several years and it was a compliment monster for me. Nobody else really wore it so I always smelled unique.

[@wazzabanzook5028]

I still have a full 5ml mini bottle lol, will never use it

[@billmark6418]

@@wazzabanzook5028 Thank you but fortunately I bought some backup bottles before it was too late. That and I became obsessed with fragrance and have 200 to choose from now lol.

[@techforever1970]

Gucci Rush for Men. Sandalwood goodness. Gucci Pour Homme II. My absolute favourite scent. It brings me so much memories, but I rarely reach for it as it's so hard to find these days, but I LOVE IT. YvesSaintLaurent M7. Need I say more? I love this so much I went through half a bottle last year, despite it being so rare. I can't get enough.

[@zanep67]

I still got a full bottle of play intense, good stuff

[@blacklion2432]

Givenchy Play was the best fragrance I've ever smelled and it was a legit "compliment monster". I now have a much larger collection and experience but none lives up to givenchy play.

[@DPZ420]

i still have givenchy play and play intense. i dont wanna use play too much because i love the scent. would be nice to find something that fills the void the original play left.

[@blankmandastankman]

@@DPZ420 was ‘Play’ in the clear bottle?

[@DPZ420]

@@blankmandastankman yea. Play was clear and intense was in a tinted bottle.

[@abmvt]

You ever find a similar scent ? I ordered rochas man just to see Play intense was the ultamite PD

[@TonyThompson1981]

I like hearing about discontinued fragrances every now and then. I like finding out if on of mine has been discontinued. It kinda makes me feel like I have something special. lol

[@nawfalsalman3074]

Talking about discontinued fragrances is one of my favourite topics.

[@HansenSC]

I would love to get my hands on Gucci Envy but the price is absolutely insane! I don't have too many discontinued fragrances but the ones that I do have/wear are: 1. Bvlgari Pour Homme/Exrreme-still available at retail and discounter 2. Pure Havane 3. Pure Malt 4. Gucci Pour Homme II 5. Armani Eau Pour Homme (1984 formulation) 6. Guerlain L'homme Ideal Cologne

[@regismonkton]

I like to hear about discontinued fragrances. Some discontinued fragrances which I own, wear, and enjoy are: SJP "Stash", Abercrombie & Fitch "Fierce Intense", Prada "Amber Pour Homme", Mandarina Duck "Black Extreme", and more.

[@ayresjim]

My favorite discontinued fragrance that I still wear often is Armani Eau de Cedre. The cedar note is just one of many. It's a great scent and good thing it's pretty strong so I don't have to spray too much when I wear it!

[@funwithfragrances]

Ash I have the same problem I love discontinued fragrances and hate how much they are!!

[@carlosssv09]

I’m loving this second channel!!

[@louis_rask]

This is the perfect kinda content for the Extra channel - I'm not likely to buy any expensive discontinued frags myself, but I only got into all this a couple of years ago so I love to learn about the scents of past years

[@paulye5874]

Kenneth Cole New York and also Ralph Lauren Romance are 2 discontinued faves

[@johnsports32]

Gucci PH2 is my favorite discontinued scent. Still have half my bottle left but hardly wear it. Wish they’d bring it back.

[@MrPunkdrunk78]

Givenchy Play is still my favorite men’s fragrance to date. Polo Big Pony #3 being 2nd.

[@marktaylor4910]

Play, what a drop! Love it!

[@jesushernandez-eo8fq]

Nice one... keep bringing more discontinued 💯

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances if I can find some good prices on them and have a blessed day

[@Figgside24]

Play was my daily during my senior year in high school, I just finished the bottle last night. Guess I should keep the bottle as a keepsake.

[@Q_N-]

Didn’t know about Mitzah, I have a couple of Diors Privee line but only scents I love. Bought their sample set and only liked about 5 out of the 10 or so samples in the box

[@OlfactiveOverdose]

Love these type of vids keep em coming

[@ryanramirez329]

I have the Original Ck one summer 2004 (green bottle). It's my favorite Ck one summer ever!!

[@Klacoslav]

Hi Ash, as everyone here I like when you talk about discontinued fragrances. It is great to know what kind of scents we have lost over the years and I love that you try to find some similar scents we can try nowadays. Please, what do you do when you empty these discontinued bottles? Do you keep them just to be in the collection? Throw them out, sell them? Thanks a lot. Really enjoying the content on Extra Gents Scents.

[@chrismulligan1742]

I miss Play Intense. Used to wear it all winter.

[@chriscompton4349]

Loved Play. Was disappointed when I got back to the states and found the line was discontinued. Thought I was buying the new Dior Homme Sport on Fragrancenet but was disappointed when it was the 2017 sent to me... however, I was pleasantly surprised on the dry down when it started smelling like Play to me. Scentual Obsessions does have a clone of Play Intense called Playtime. I may try it.

[@Lahautz]

I own Play myself, love it. Only thing for me is the 4 hour performance...

[@josephmills4858]

I love hearing about discontinued Cologne

[@mlortiz06]

Dg masculine is one also dkny be delicious another good discontinued gem.

[@stevew1725]

Finally discontinued fragrances, seeing as about 75% of my collection is discontinued this was great to watch, out of my stash I’d be lost without Prada Luna Rossa Extreme, Armani code sport and M7 fresh

[@scentlessscents699]

Ash have you got your nose on the new sculpture parfum. Just happened to come across on fragrantica..Really appreciate you talking about discontinued but not forgotten fragrances.

[@ilovefragrances5968]

This is really weird because I was thinking today that it would be cool to do a vid of frags that people forgot about but that are still great

[@trancebruh3231]

I love when discontinued fragrances get hyped on KZbin because it creates an incentive for clone houses to attempt to bring them back. For example, even though I have a love/hate relationship with Parfums Vintage, their Midnight in Paris clone is lovely.

[@kingdevilfalls4256]

Thought for sure Pure Havane would be included

[@thelordyourtodd]

Kenzo Air and CK One Electric! I was still in high school when these were released. Was testing these both (as well as Givenchy Very Irresistible for Men), but ultimately settled with Electric. I treasured every usage of it. Fun times 😅

[@Hossman78]

Love the new channel man. Keep it up. 👍

[@demonwares]

I love discontinued fragrances too. I live in an area that only the Chanel and Dior's move fast so any discontinued from another brand, I'm able to get usually. I like to go hunting from time to time

[@The_Fuzz1]

Glad I have three bottles of Gucci Pour Homme II and two bottles of Envy. Both are phenomenal.

[@joaquinvidela7833]

I still have about 20ml of Hugo Boss Bottled Intense EDP, absolutely love it and it's a shame that they discontinued it :(

[@tauntonengine3]

Have Ricci Club by Nina Ricci from the early 90s. Only have a small amount left so i use it sparingly. Also Paul Sebastian VSOP. Love it but can't even find any info about it on line. Again only have a little bit left.

[@Diltiazem1980]

My fave discontinued scent is Davidoff Goodlife. Still have half a bottle, but been using it very sparsely. Tried Alexandria’s version… close but no cigar.

[@scentlessscents699]

Versace man was a good one and that recently discontinued ysl blue electric. lol

[@danishperfumelover5943]

Wauw haven’t seen CK One Electric for quite some time. It’s the best CK One flanker ever released in my opinion and I went through a few bottles while it was available. Hope it will come back someday 🤗

[@RoC937]

Armani Eau de Cedre is the bomb too

[@Handstyles]

I love what you are doing with this extra channel! And you like Korean movies? "I saw the devil" is one of my favorite crime thrillers/revenge movies! It is just so raw and doesnt shy away from anything. And it has a nice moral ambiguity to it.

[@donnielandry803]

Love that you did this video Ash because I love old frags from my youth! I recently started acquiring some old nostalgic frags I’ve missed for many years ! About to get CK truth that’s a great one . Got Hugo boss in motion recently but it’s not like remember :(. Still collecting some others but about have Armani mania which is my all time fav Armani frag a true gem!! Always got amazing complements . Anyways do more vids like this brother thanks !!

[@scentlessscents699]

My favorite discontinued stunning fragrances....

[@chuckgt7715]

Wife bought me givenchy play like 10 years ago, so disappointed they discontinued it

[@masonb9788]

Polo Supreme Trio. Halston Man Amber. Mugler Pure Coffee. JV Dark Rebel.

[@ryanbriones4026]

Mine's prada l'homme intense, attitude by Armani essence pure by st Dupont, dior homme eau , midnight in Paris by vancleef and arpels, and pure havane by mugler

[@K1200R]

Really surprised you didn't have YSL L'homme Ultime on this list! One of my absolute favorite fragrances. And it's discontinued lol

[@victorashul]

I love my Canali Black Diamond, but I don't wear it that often because I onlt have about 10ml of it left

[@AirPowered]

Kenzo Air is the one I miss the most, it’s so good!

[@riseuplight]

Thanks Ash

[@mikhailmattis893]

I have Givenchy play and ay intense aswell, and there both hanging on for life. I don't think I'll use them again. Just to keep the bottles in my collection in the OG section.

[@scentlessscents699]

This is enjoyable!

[@Waynegriggs842]

Calvin Klein Crave. Dua has a dupe that smells almost identical, but is missing the fresh linen element. Still very good tho.

[@mohd_allearz8403]

I did the same with AdG Essenza.... in 2021.... I deeply feel your pain. I can't believe I came across a 50ml unopened bottle at a local shop and didnt grab it

[@James7995]

I can’t remember the names, but there was a Benetton frag I loved in college. And my parents brought me a bottle back from France of something by Hermes in the 90’s. Wish I new the name, I loved it.

[@lipstickzombie4981]

Does the Benetton have a weirdly shaped bottle? It might be Tribu.

[@stonecold2044]

Try Nikos Sculpture EDP new release

[@jorgelara1278]

Armani Code Sport, still have some in an old bottle but I’d like to find a fragrance similar to it so I can save the little I have left

[@turboshazed7370]

So minty

[@justintimefr]

I kept Givenchy Play for many years because I didn't like it at first. Oh how I am glad I kept it now 😂

[@1994rastaboy]

I've seen Givenchy play in the store few months ago, should've tried it 😑

[@blankmandastankman]

I don’t see V&R ‘Antidote’ mentioned a lot when discontinued fragrances are the topic

[@avcorals]

Any recommendations for Givanchy play intense replacements? Used to be an amazing pick for me but now a bottle on eBay goes for like $500 sadly.

[@xxflamezxx1able]

I got play intense and pure Havane, I don’t really like play intense all that much but I never really knew what to do with it

[@edgardozara97]

Same reason i got in the mood for love. Thats the lone reason i got this perfume

[@rajraut8885]

What is nearest to kenzo air

[@masonb9788]

Anyone know that actual situation with Gucci Guilty Absolute? It’s showing up again. Maybe not discontinued?

[@colinnotyou0k78]

I'd love to go to Fragrance Buy, but sadly they don't seem to sell outside America or Canada :(

[@kmw1175]

I received a sample of Givenchy Play many years ago when buying a fragrance. I thought it was so boring back then (plus poor performance). Haha. That’s the sort of fragrance that I will never understand if someone pays a premium nowadays to get it.

[@alejandrocastillo5771]

Awesome video Ash as always. I know how people might feel about clones, dupes, or inspirations houses. For the most part I feel the same way but in case like these were the fragrances are discontinued how do you feel about trying something like "Covet" from Dua Brand? I have it but difficult to make a comparison since I didn't have a chance to smell the original envy. Eventhough the price is not cheap $55 for 30ml, would it be worth buying it?

[@mattybryan2011]

Got my Gucci Envy, Gucci Pour Homme II, D&G Pour Homme (silver sticker), Armani Eau Pour Homme original & YSL M7 original in rotation, but not frequently. These are fragrances that I have owned for 20-25 years now, so they are slowly being used up. That makes me sad.

[@bigdawg887]

Hey Ash, what about Hermes h24 edp?

[@Cole-gq5cc]

I have no problems with discontinued fragrances, and I’m not sure who would. FOMO is something, sure, but I think it’s a ridiculous concept that if you watch a review you NEED to buy the thing being reviewed. A lot of discontinued fragrances are hyped up beyond belief, and I think a lot of people (myself included) would love to hear your objective take on them.

[@sicariussees3963]

Now you need Gents Scents after dark, maybe sitting in a big leather chair, cigar, smoking jacket and a glass of brandy telling scary fragrance tales.

[@WeJammin]

Armani code ice is a nice discontinued fragrance I still wear

[@chrisneal7367]

Armani Attitude, RIP. Love that fragrance so much and now it’s $300+

[@cameronpaisley9183]

Absolutely criminal to discontinue the Play line

[@blacklion2432]

Does anyone know a clone or inspired fragrance similar of Givenchy play?

[@a_2010x]

I believe you can still buy Mitzah across the pond. No?

[@mohd_allearz8403]

Play was one of my signature scents back in 09 or 10. Got the bottle only because of Justin Timberlake

[@James7995]

Is there a fragrance museum? I’d pay money to go experience retired scents.

[@ericgeneric135]

Shout out to Wong Kar-Wai!

[@puertoricanpapi2011]

That Kenzo Air bottle look like an ice pack 😂

[@crow337]

It’s funny, I bought Xerjoff’s “More Than Words” because of the song. So I get it 😂

[@laurisuurmaa2752]

Me: Guerlain L'homme Ideal Cologne, Mugler Pure Malt, Mercedes Benz Cologne, La Collection YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme, Versace Oud Noir.

[@loganperry6407]

Just the name Mugler sends me into a depression. Such a shame they discontinued so many gems.

[@BushidoBrown76]

FOMO The most sought after top note. I’m not sure that something being discontinued makes it a masterpiece. I do wish they would bring back DKNY Unleaded/Fuel.

[@renegadebrad7448]

Gucci envy the GOAT i wore it today and i felt like a king, not going to be wearing it tomorrow though its sacred juice i must preserve the Kings sacred juice 😂

[@Kishi10]

Man givenchy play was my favorite scent growing up cause I wanted to get girls like Justin Timberlake 😂😂

[@adammayday6486]

Tobacco vanille has been discontinued.

[@jackchatham3947]

Not a fragrance expert by any means. Total newb to be honest. Have some old colognes given to me for Christmas and birthdays. Gucci pour homme and D&G The One Gentleman I understand are discontinued, not sure of their desirability on the collectable market

[@matthewneufer1758]

Gucci gang gang

[@thefragrancevol753]

Your interest in discontinued fragrances has seemed to have rubbed off on me. I seem to always find myself looking for newly discontinued fragrances. Like, it would not be out of the ordinary to see 50% of the fragrances in one of my hauls being newly discontinued

[@rubenquintero7322]

Ash, if you had to start over your colección from 0, wish will be your first 10 fragrances to start with
