10 Fragrances I REGRET Buying - Blind Buy Fails

[@DemitriusMaximus]

Ultimate Video Request. 10 most Expensive/Popular Niche fragrances and their top two clones. Gonna be your most popular video to date. You welcome! 🎉

[@rileykcain]

That would like an hour+ long video

[@DemitriusMaximus]

@@rileykcain I am here for the long form video once in a while playing in the background.

I'm here for the long-form videos as well.

[@TreVader1378]

Yeah I'm down for that.

[@fabioolivo4100]

Agreed!!

[@b1uedestiny]

+10,000 points for wearing an Above & Beyond Shirt. First Ash throws out a Lunar Silver Star Story reference showing us he has great taste in video games and now he tells us he's got great taste in music as well? Best fragrance creator on YT for sure!

[@nanananananan-z6b]

Above and beyond shirt! Nice! Giving me high school 9th grade vibes when we used to pop ecstasy and listen to trance lol

[@soraninja]

I've never smelled CK defy EDT But the EDP is actually really lovely. Fresh spicy clean lovely

[@gilbertoflores7397]

​@@RBC0405defy is like an amalgamation of every blue fragrance, it doesn't do anything particularly well or have a high point which you would favor it over anything else out there. Most people would just say it's very boring. However, it's definitely a super safe dumb reach fragrance once the price drops to the 20-30 range. People would probably love it if it was much cheaper, it was usually in the 50-60 range for a long time. However, it's not bad by any means.

[@darrylwilliams5788]

I got Montblanc explorer blue 100ml for 9$ at Burlington coat factory late Summer, Smh never worn it

[@Alritealritealrite]

I have it, but I can't think of what it smells like. I'm going to pull it out tomorrow.

[@jingledubz3989]

Great video Ash. I don’t own any of these, which I guess at this point I am happy about. I blind bought Oud Touch by Franck Olivier years ago and immediately was not a fan. Tried a few times and it just got worse, so I sold it.

[@DannyBellTheAuthor]

It's okay, Ash, if you don't want to say Azzaro Wanted EDP is terrible because you don't want to hurt their feelings, I'll do it for you.

[@Q_N-]

💀I’m not a fan of “Wanted” either

[@Michael-Styles]

Joop Homme was a fail for me, I remember using it & wearing it years past. So I was like hmmm maybe I try it again nearly 20yrs later. Epic Fail & never again 😂

[@roryodonovan4210]

Smells like cough syrup

[@MattandErson30]

I had it in high school in the 90s and remember liking it and I bought a bottle about 6mo ago and just gave it to my nephew. Which he then gave to a friend. I'm pretty sure his friend threw it away.

[@spaztekwarrior]

Armaf Craze and Bentley For Men Intense. 🤮 I only bought them because they were being hyped by KZbinrs. Promptly gave them away.

[@ThePauloEmo]

I regret buying Bond No9 Manhattan. Incredibly cheap smelling

[@sameold5050]

A brand to avoid. Overpriced & often very ordinary.

[@eiichirose]

​@@sameold5050what about Bleecker St?

[@ThePauloEmo]

@@sameold5050 never bought anything from that brand ever since.

[@cerveshred]

​@eiichirose love bleecker street but I wouldn't pay more than 100 usd for any fragrance

[@willoraha1969]

Great video Ash Hopefully you continue to make more content like this Thank you 🙏

[@dualityofman1253]

Versace Eros and Wanted By Night were my biggest blind buy regrets. I did get a lot of compliments, but both were much too sweet for my liking. I prefer wearing fresher scents.

[@dadehalcyon9856]

That's surprising that they were blind buys. Those two are on almost every fragrance counter for free sampling, at least in the US.

[@shuffle5152000]

Also blind bought montblanc ultra blue, it smells nice and it’s probably the worst performance out of any of my fragrances. Not too mad tho cuz it was like 14$ I just added it to get free shipping lol

[@Powerule23]

Dolce & Gabbana The One EDP is my biggest regret. The leather and tobacco is just not for me.

[@cornbread83]

HUGE Above &. Beyond fan here. Going to a live Group Therapy show is on the bucket list. I blind bought Asad and totally regret it. Stuff is nasty. I gave it away to a friend.

[@SamWayne85]

Dude youre seriously funny man. Literally laughing out loud with the defy breakdown😂

[@fr2k11ster]

What the stars wear, maybe that would be interesting…another is maybe how to layer perfumes

[@osmathgreenle8986]

He would never layer...🤣

[@preiss0]

Hugo Boss - Pacific is my regret recently. . Smells very dated and oily. Not refreshing or coconutty.

[@michaelmetler6315]

I would love it if Poco Rabanne made 30mil robots. So I could build my droid army and finally destroy my enemies and conquer the universe!

[@2006gps]

ABOVE & BEYOND??? WOOOAW! Also GABRIEL & DRESDEN!!!

[@carlostomas1917]

I'll take thar lataffa private gold and Azzaro wanted if you don't want them. I have CK Defy edp and absolutely love it.

[@JoseEunjung]

I love the Calvin Klein Defy. It smells so fresh. I love it. I didn’t like the Eau De Parfum. The EDP was just not for me. Hated the coconut in it.

[@rennevirtanen5639]

Nice choice of a t-shirt, Ash 😁

[@jessethewalrus]

I'm glad you feel the same about Erba Pura. I can't stand the stuff..

[@scottw2943]

My regretful blind buys were Rasasi Hawas and Mancera Kumkat wood. My only two fragrances I never wear.

[@toddhatch6826]

Would love to take your Hawas off your hands. It's my favorite!!

[@jmn5387]

i'll gladly take hawas from you😂

[@normfernandez7724]

My biggest regret - Azzure Oud. Horrific. The rotten spoiled nasty soured fruit smell is horrific and just never goes away. Great vid Ash. It is just as important to know what NOT to buy than your great vids on what we need to buy!

[@AytugArtun]

I swear I regretted buying literally all those clones. Every single one of those lattafas, armafs, afnans etc. So if you can distinguish quality difference, I recommend not to bother with the clones.

[@finparkour]

Hey Ash! Could you do a top 10 video of most unique/interesting niche fragrances? Like one where wearability isn't a factor, but instead focusing on the more "intresting ones" PS: Thanks for the awesome content you put out for us!

[@Musawirrrr]

Can you suggest me: I have Tobacco Vanille clone. Should I go for Spicebomb Clone though I don't want similar smelling kind of perfume? Both are Tobacco + Vanilla based.

[@jts4248]

No just buy spicebomb

[@SirSillageSniffington]

I don’t think they’re all THAT similar (especially if you’re talking about the original Spicebomb), but they obviously are in a similar “family” of scent so if you want something truly different, try something else like a fougere or aquatic or freshie etc…

[@danielhenry177]

If you want cheap, just look for Cremo Spice and Black Vanilla. I prefer By the Fireplace for that smokiness, so I love Lataffa Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud

[@osmathgreenle8986]

Yes, Cremo Spice and Black Vanilla, immediately thought SB Extreme on 1st spray. Fun fact, wore SB Ex Tues and Wed went to spray TF Noir Extreme and I got SB Ex 🫤 so I put it right back on the shelf.

[@tonyghicks01]

I really regret my recent blind buys of Boss Elixir and Brioni EDP Intense...

[@MuzikM_85]

Boss Bottled Elixir? Really?

[@tonyghicks01]

@muzim8931 yeah... it's pleasant, better than any other boss... but to me, nowhere near the hope. Probably because I like stronger oud/rose.. this is, not surprising, very 'designer' and smooth. I guess I expected different/more after the hype

[@shmoopiebear]

I have never heard of any of these. And I thank whatever diety for this.

[@BreeZieDoesiT]

Hey Gents. I heard the ombre nomad clone from Montagne was the juice. Can you by any chance confirm. Cheers

[@lorddarius]

i blind bought mancera red tobacco and cedrat boise. hated both but at least my bro liked the red tobacco

[@pkj77]

i like the Defy EDT, cant find Parfum only the Eau de Parfum

[@AlejandroParedesBobadilla]

I bought explorer ultra blue in a macy's backstage store, used twice, dont grew on me, then I gifted to my dad and he like it, guess this is how the world works

[@conorsmedia]

I never comment, but montblanc ultra blue is a sports fragrance? It’s pepper. Open up a bottle of pepper and that’s what this fragrance is. Anyone who says otherwise is nose blind. It’s 100% pure pepper

[@stephenstepp6150]

I don't have any of these, and I think I'll keep it that way, haha!

[@quintonlewis587]

That Xerjoff bottle looks like a Thumb Thumb from Spy Kids😂😂

[@P0rn0ralle84]

Some Rasasis years ago i regret and some vintages that where spoiled 😢

[@mrjavascript]

recently got the MB Explorer Blue from a discounter. nothing special, but a great scent to wear to the gym for the price

[@dfernandez3482]

My latest and greatest blind buy fail is Maahir Legacy. Its not that bad but i dont like it much. I have another fragrance that smells like it named Bullet Gold by Bharara Beauty If Maahir Legacy really is a clone of Sedley then i don't think I'd like Sedley at all 🤔

[@MUR47_k]

do you have any websites for the uk

[@fashionandfrags]

Biggest regret... Amber and leather aka ombre leather clone. On skin it's just too pungent and almost has a skunk scent. On clothing, it's still not great, but it has slightly grown on me. I still get nervous whenever I try it out in public which is rare.

[@1memph]

Ultra Blue is straight. Found a 100 Ml at TJ Maxx for $40.

[@Rapthe1]

Can you please review FA Paris line's - The Shadow Extrait Perfume By Fragrance World ?

[@Dankemp07]

Will my fragrances go bad if I leave them on display out of the box?

[@Q_N-]

Like any item containing alcohol, so long as you keep it away from sunlight and drastic temperature shifts. You should be fine. Even with the date being long expired, it’ll still smell amazing!

Wow literally recommended by most YT Frag heads!? I've never smelled it. What was bad about it? The note break down looks lovely

[@detsportsfan18]

@@soraninja It's definitely overhyped, it seems. Way too strong on the pink pepper note to be very off-putting. Mine has been collecting dust for the last year or so.

Originally reminded me of the plastic smell of a summertime inflatable pool toy. Only paid $40 for the 100mL at the time) * Alfa Romeo Red (smelled like decaying fruit rinds. Haven't re-tried since)
