[@TheEletronicFunky]

I love you're channel and content. You speak fact and enough to transcribe the message. Everyone else is played in a faster playback speed but you are a fast speaker

[@CascadeScents]

I try to come correct with what I know and I am glad that comes across for you. Thanks so much! =]

[@TheEletronicFunky]

@@CascadeScents 🫡🫡 you're very accurate and even playing your videos at 1.25 is too much

[@asparceproton1]

Shoutout to Bronson and 2 Chainz for being some fragrance savvy rappers

[@CascadeScents]

Bet! Great taste, both of them! =]

[@johntheo6751]

Aj tracy has one of the biggest collections ive ever seen

[@aaronsanders785]

2 Chainz wasn’t referring to layering scents but the fact that at Bond Boutiques they can mix a selection of their fragrances together in one bottle for a custom scent. That’s why his bottle was blank.

[@CascadeScents]

I am aware of the custom scent program but if that is the case here, I wish that was clarified more; otherwise I can really only go off of what he and GQ gives me. Thanks for stopping by! =]

[@aldoandre6600]

I hope you are doing well mate ! Haven’t seen your videos for the longest

[@gilltimmerman1333]

vince staples one of the funniest dudes out there lmao he always has hilarious one-liners

[@CascadeScents]

Bet! Great sense of humour. :P

[@DropBear_42]

Norf norf brudda

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day

[@CascadeScents]

Thank you as always, Michael. Cheers! 😀

[@michaelbullock8011]

You welcome keep up the good work GOD BLESS 🙏

[@Hititup2121]

Great video brio👍, G WATER FTW 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@CascadeScents]

Thank you as always, Chris. Woo! 🎉

[@The-Rainmaker]

I really enjoyed your analysis and how you break down your thoughts. You are far better than the other reviewers who end up all sounding the same. Stay authentic just like you are. Please do a review on female fragrances that smell good on men. I would love to hear an analysis through your lens.

[@judahnavidad8250]

I tested out Bvlgari Pour Homme Extreme at a fragrance outlet before I left LA. Was super surprised it was there, and no one was bothering to test it or trying to buy it. They had a lot of bottles last time I was there. Hopefully they’re still there when I go back in a few months cause that stuff smells incredible. If they still got stock I’ll hit you up Manny. Always respected Action Bronson, but because of this I’m a fan now

[@BreLovesFrags]

Absolutely love G Water 👏🏽👏🏽

[@CascadeScents]

G-Water FTW! =]

[@miomarsoto1393]

Please make more content like this!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nkosinathimkhonza2332]

Bvlgari pour homme soir was the very first fragrance I bought for myself when I started working 2015, and I never saw it again in stores. Dope fragrance!

[@CascadeScents]

No doubt! A former hidden gem to a tee. =]

[@SNOW_MAN_175]

That Inspired My Collection Today Too.

[@SNOW_MAN_175]

Didn’t know it got discontinued I gotta half bottle left fk.

[@shawnpirtle5591]

SOTD lil bro Fahrenheit Le Parfum,,awesome content

[@barstone4]

Bvglari pour homme extreme?!?!?! Action Bronson knows whats up. goated hidden gem

[@CascadeScents]

Totally! Definitely a hidden gem. Bronson FTW! =]

[@2ndAveScents]

Gypsy Water has an absolute fire opening, I wish it stayed that way longer because I think the dry down is really floral and takes a hard feminine turn which is still doable but so delicate smelling, need to layer it with something I think

[@Marley__007]

2 chainz also says Bond #9 was his favorite scent on his song Good Drank with Gucci Mane and Quavo.

[@CascadeScents]

Not sure if he was referring to B9 or Bond No. 9 as a whole. Solid track though! =]

[@STEAKnyfeCYRUS]

As far as Bond #9 scents go, Lafayette Street is the best

[@hershilparekh8654]

It’s fidi

[@STEAKnyfeCYRUS]

@@hershilparekh8654 FiDi stinks tho

[@jordanlouie_]

Bro Lhumaniste + a13 🤯 Wearing it rn and this combo is genius

[@CascadeScents]

Love to hear it! Woo! 😀🥂

[@tobyfarms]

Lol 2 Chaaaainnnzzzz. With the hidden name of the bottle. 🤣✌🏾

[@CascadeScents]

2 Chainz! :P

[@entothevee]

I hope you are well! It has been over nine months since an upload

[@steliosc.4686]

Interesting choices. And since this is the initials channel :) my favourite fragrances are: 1) C.B 2) O.W 3) A.C 4) N.R.F.H Edp 5) B.K by Ysl. Also the ozonic-oceanic kind of fragrances have a cheap vibe about them. That shower gel smell that I also find unattractive.

[@CascadeScents]

We all have different perceptions and taste, yes! Thanks for stopping by! =]

[@darnellstokes451]

That definitely not B9. That’s definitely FiDi By Bond No 9 that 2chainz has. It’s 🔥

[@marlonious7650]

2 Chainz is being super extra. He's hilarious 😂

[@CascadeScents]

No doubt. I still rate him, hahaha. 2 Chainz FTW! =]

[@gerardoespinosa1288]

A lot of bond salesman recommend to layer Greenwich w Lafayette

[@CascadeScents]

Thanks for the tip about Bond SAs. To be fair, I do agree with that combo potentially being a good layer job. =]

[@Rayallwayz]

Aventus mixed with br540 is a good combo. I'm not a fan of aventus on its own. Mixed with 540 is something I can wear. Chains sound like he wants to be the only one wearing a fragrance he like. I remember over 20 years ago. I was in high-school I bought aqua di gio when it was just released. Everyone asked me what you wearing. I told them. Fast forward 4 years. I started disliking it because every man in my city had it. Lol. I smelled it everywhere.

[@TheUndeclaredNation]

where you been brah?

[@lerroyoriema5121]

It irks me too when people misuse adjectives like calling any fragrance they don’t like “strong”, or any food they like “sweet” lol

[@CascadeScents]

I don’t blame people for not knowing how to articulate because I don’t expect more casual enthusiasts to be as educated. But yeah, it’s still a little bit of a nuisance. :P

[@IntrigueAvenue]

You look familiar; did you used to have a UFC / MMA predictions youtube channel?

[@Aaron-us5iu]

I got a feminine fragrance that is from a big designer that is definitely targeting ladies and I wear it and get compliments if you like something wear it if you don’t, don’t 😂

[@-GIANT-]

Scented Moments!

[@CascadeScents]

That's my guy! =]

[@Aaron-us5iu]

BR 540 with aventus I think the 540 will come off stronger but the skin chemistry thing is definitely minimal especially from a synthetic, linear scent

[@jeremycrowe4693]

dude was wearing blue latex gloves to hold a bottle of cologne

[@Kenniscent]

I love bond no 9 but only a select few , overall some of their stuff it’s pretty rank .. fidi, bleeker st , and the I love ny for Father’s Day are great but I’ve also dumped a good bit of money on a few that didn’t agree with me

[@alanjmcq]

Interesting

[@SmooveSmellz]

Baccarat 540 rouge goes amazing with creed aventus lol

[@Streez-00]

Rouge disappointed me

[@kylemasters-elitepov914]

Car wash or vigil LMAO XD

[@CascadeScents]

Bro, I know, right, hahaha. 🤣

[@carasparks8500]

It looks like the black bottle that 2 chainz has

[@Plump_Nick]

What do you think is the most niche fragrance on this series so far?

[@CascadeScents]

It goes without saying, there have been a ton of niche fragrances and brands already featured here... So if I had to pick between the more "fringe" choices to answer your question, I'd say Emmitt Smith's Arabian Oud or Tyson Fury's Clive Christian. Thanks for asking! =]

[@Christian-wu3mp]

You’re getting handsomer in the latest vids

[@user-Cosmicplayhouse_]

😂 Action is one character

[@Mucgamon191]

Dude why have u stopped making videos

[@jarridsteel6229]

I wore Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Extreme as my SOTD and I'm rocking a great cheapie as my SOTN, Cremo's Bourbon & Oak. 2 Chainz is probably just repeating what the sales girl at the store told him to sell him on it. LOL I've tried to explain that same thing to about cologne/perfume to guys at my church and office for a long time. When they ask, I tell them I wear perfume and you can see the braincrack happening to them. It's actually really funny how tied into gender norms they are when speaking of the subject. Even when I give them samples and explain it's perfume, they tell me after they've used it, "thanks for that cologne, bro." LOL

[@CascadeScents]

Some people feel like they have to live and die by gender norms, yeah. What can ya do, ugh. :P

[@Sean-fu3oi]

I think you’re due a new one of these 😅

[@rileygibson1511]

Come back bro

[@BrianLimoa]

Rest in Peace brother

[@y8shiboi380]

Is he really dead

[@Albert-xl3nx]

he died?

[@erikanderson1720]

"Splaaaasssssssshhhhhhhh... by Baklava"

[@CascadeScents]

Classic clip, hahaha.

[@christinescott3992]

It definitely smells different per person.

[@andrewlowley8689]

Action bronson prolly uses Tommy or happy still lol

[@zalejackson]

vINCE ISTHE MAN

[@CascadeScents]

Vince FTW! =]

[@duplomacette]

TF you at, bruh?

[@superproducercbiz]

Car wash or vigil.

[@Richard-Reloaded]

Did he die?

[@vindicator75]

First. Outing 2 chainz. Lol. Can I call ball d'afrique D Freak?Axe and Old spice racist. Lol

[@CascadeScents]

The Freak is a fun one, yeah! 😂

[@InscentiveAdvice]

Aw I didn't know u had fish n wow u lost some weight

[@davidphillips1254]

Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. The kingdom of heaven is likened to a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearls of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

[@FermentedGrumpyGrapeSqueezit]

Your mother does the gargle and go

[@Jackson-ll4bt]

king waffler waffle house is calling go flip those waffles dorky

[@CascadeScents]

Thanks for stopping by! =]

[@kevinborja7819]

Bro comments on everything 😂 this could’ve been a 5-7min video had he only focused on the actual scents and not every stuff the guests are saying

[@CascadeScents]

Breaking the scents down is one thing, but there are a ton of reviews on a lot of these already. So my videos are more or less about unpacking and critiquing the comments of the celebs regarding scent [which isn't the easiest thing for them to articulate to begin with]. Mind you, if you know how to unpack all of this yourself, that's one thing; but these videos are more or less for others who want and/or are open to this level of context. Hope that clarifies things! Thanks for stopping by. =]

[@FermentedGrumpyGrapeSqueezit]

Yea like how your mom gargles me when I'm wearing bond b-nizine

[@klauslispector]

This video was too much 💀💀
