10 Fragrances You NEED A Backup Bottle Of IMMEDIATELY

[@dimitarapostolov9788]

I bought a bottle of SWY Absolutely 2 days ago and the batch code is from November 2023 (I live in Europe btw). Please guys, don't fall into these discontinuation rumours and don't buy backup bottles when you don't need to.

[@aspectpt9765]

It's harder to find in the Unites States.

[@g.d2450]

​@@ac.Freecn ysl y edt and pdm sedley says otherwise 😂... if it's been reformulated due to new restrictions then it's usually not for the better but like those previous two it's been due to poor performance and the reformulation has improved the scent or longevity

[@ac.Freecn]

@@g.d2450 Rarely

[@davidashurov5255]

​@@g.d2450There is a difference between batches and relaunches. New batches dont get advertised, relaunches so. When the new Y reformulations(the big ones) since 2022 were a thing, they had a whole marketing campaign basically saying its a whole new scent( which it was)

[@GucciButNotGuilty]

​@@g.d2450Literally the TWO exceptions

[@HighCountryEsq]

I would add Zino by Davidoff to your "Get a back-up bottle" list, I recieved an email from COTY confirming it has officially been discontinued. Its a shame they would discontinue such a classic fragrance.

[@The_Mavs_Are_Bums]

Gotta get a backup of brut before it gets reformulated or discontinued

[@umpus]

😂 Get an Old Spice while you're at it. They go hand in hand.

[@alanjbennett3733]

And a back up bottle of blue stratos or puig quorum 😂

[@phantomspaceman]

You better snag a bottle of Canu and Aramis while you're at it. Those two might get ruined.

[@oldschoolfunkster1]

I have a carton of High Karate for sale. I gave up on waiting for hordes of women to attack me from nowhere😒 Great as a gas octane booster.

[@famousibarra1]

Stay strong and don't overspend on backups. You wont use it!

[@Rolly_951]

I bought a backup bottle of 1 million lucky. I have a full 200ml and a 100ml. It's unique and compliment puller will not be around in a few years, so im set for a while

[@khnemura9]

If you can get a sample of PRIVE do so. It too is a compliment puller.

[@AdityaG01]

Same

[@Fragaddiction]

All of these are signature worthy, and it’s very natural that most people don’t want to run out of their regular go to.

[@jagy3174]

I don’t think you could wear swy absolutely for everything tho

[@DC360PSN]

Out of all the colognes I wear I always get compliments with blue de chanel, that is one I will always have in my collection

[@shmoopiebear]

I was glad to have gotten two bottles SWYA last year. It's very difficult to find. I've missed my chance to get a bottle of Profondo and am still looking for one. The Lalique Ombre Noire intrigues me. I'll have to put it on my Wish List. Great list!

[@Bozo825]

Prada Luna rossa black is my favourite cologne. So intoxicating. I spray it on even when I’m home alone, just to enjoy it myself.

[@khnemura9]

PLRB is an outstanding fragrance. I recently got a bottle of BRIONI as a blind buy and I can see myself getting a backup bottle of this!

[@bigbehr__]

Hugo Boss has really been stepping up their game recently. Definitely want to check out boss bottled pacific!

[@wakandaforever5732]

Yip, I’m looking forward to getting my nose on there up and coming Boss Bottled Triumph Elixir.

[@RS3NDIT]

boss has always been acceptable to me. The only thing I didn't like is at times they were uninspiring or just didn't last that long. Sometimes both haha, but I've never really understood the relatively widespread hate for Boss as a perfume brand.

[@peterneshwat7292]

I just finished AW2! It was awesome! Lalique forever! my favorite house. Second favorite, Guerlain.

[@mckain1026]

Prada lr Black is in my personal top 10. I do have two bottles. Love Love Love it.

[@Razye.]

You can still buy valentino uomo edt even off their website, maybe depends on your region

[@Alritealritealrite]

It's the 2021 with a different note breakdown

[@kevino73]

Thanks for highlighting Boss Bottled Pacific, Ash. I just scooped up a 200ml of it on FragBuy.

[@caric_fcb72]

i got a 100ml bottle and i flipping love it man.

[@javierlib]

Agreed, it's amazing even more so these high heat days, not an in your face kind or fragrance but still unique and enjoyable 😊

[@Nando.33.1]

I'm glad I still have OG Uomo. I need to get a backup for Guerlain Ideal edp, hopefully a first red label Guerlain Ideal Extreme 🙏

[@picanha694]

i remember getting my valentino uomo edt when it was 40 bucks on discounters. the smell is very similar to DHI but with the addition of chocolate hazelnut notes. now the price is crazy and its being reformulated on the newer bottles.

[@Snedz496]

The annoying thing about that is, I nearly bought this back in 2017-18 but changed my mind lol now I regret it

[@937-b3o]

Profondo is going to change for sure, just like Profumo. The new one is OK but I got the old one while I could.

[@Blue_3rd]

Thanks for another interesting video. I have been trying to get another bottle of Profondo for a couple of months with no luck. They haven’t changed the bottle but the fragrance has completely changed. I got into Profondo when the original Bleau de Channel changed its recipe, I used to love that one. I recently discovered Loewe 7 Cobalt, which is similar to the original BDC and smells amazing - well worth a try. Cheers from Europe!

[@LA-st6dq]

AdG Profondo is also getting a Parfum probably around March. Unfortunatly they change the wooden cap of the AdG EdP to the new regular cap and that awkward gradient🙄

[@slikjmuzik]

I LOVE Valentino Uomo. Always buy a huge 5oz bottle.

[@cre810sion]

Ash, since you stated you have no ill will towards Galleria Parfums, I have to say that you masterfully directed that line. The quality of the entire line is superb. I have backup bottles of Yuzu Grove, Shades of Seduction, Cognac Cafe, and Dream Woods (several of that particular one- It is a masterpiece).... Jet Black and West Loop are very nice, but if I'm being truthful, I hold Galleria in high regards. I don't know what they're using in the UAE, but the materials are legit. Keep up the great content!!

[@alanjbennett3733]

Ha the bottle of Gucci Envy next to your plaque absolute GOAT Of all fragrances. Was once one of my favourites.... Bring it back gucci

[@Kai0nTheMoon]

When you had mentioned the Maison Alhambra TF clone line was being discontinued because of a lawsuit or something, I went and ordered up a lot of various bottles thinking I could make a buck or two at my shop. Not only are they still around though, but they're selling on Amazon for about 25% less than I paid last year and I'm stuck with enough Bright Peach to drown a horse. Just a rumor, I suppose.

[@MrEvans1]

Lol

[@snubbii9276]

I have 3 of these and it will sad when they finally go BUT once you get past 10 bottles and also like me have clone frags as backups it works out to be years worth of sprays. Basically whejh its gone its gone, plenty more scents of differing varieties to transition onto

[@plushprince1020]

I bought 3 bottles of Philosophy Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere for my wife. I love that scent

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day

[@detsportsfan18]

Only backups for me are Elysium, Prada L'Homme, and Office For Men.

[@voodoo.-]

Can you do a best for spring/ summer for younger guys video. Need new warm weather scents

[@henkiehenkie3973]

I should have bought a back up bottle of D&G light blue Italian love. I cannot find it anywhere at the moment

[@billybattle]

I’m gonna give the new Profondo a chance before buying a backup. Maybe it will improve on it in some way despite my doubts.

[@Snedz496]

Unpopular Opinion but Dolce & Gabanna The One Grey. It smells amazing and a fresher take on The One dna. This one is overlooked and I feel like it will just disappear one day and will become sought after. I'm calling it now lol

[@raulsaavedra709]

The fragrances I have back ups of are not only some that I particularly like, but that I consider amazing value for the money. Those are so far: -Encre Noire -Burberry London -Davidoff Zino -Bentley for Men Absolute -Zara Warm Black -The Body Shop White Musk for Men (discontinued) -Mugler Cologne (discontinued) Planning to add Zara Antique Brown to that list.

[@DA-db9bi]

Encre noire is TERRIBLE

[@maximos2448]

Surprised no one mentioned bottled the scent private accord, its been difficult to find

[@JennaMugler]

Profondo and Prada Luna black are my two absolute favorites ❤

[@jamesbaird1342]

I own a couple of those . With a rotating collection however my backup bots. are more just to fight inflation. I've 2 of The Dreamer, Farenhiet and Savage. I bought Mis. Wave for a wedding summer of 2022. Probably still have 95 percent.

[@dimitarapostolov9788]

Bleu de Chanel in Europe started to show up in bottles that now say Eau de Toilette on them, so for sure it's not discontinued

[@Gungrave123]

who tf would think that the 2nd best selling fragrance in the world would be discontinued?

[@davidashurov5255]

Bleu de Chanel first came to market in an EdT concentration in 2010, the EdP in 2014 and parfum in 2018....

[@DA-db9bi]

Where in Europe? I believe you can find them everywhere here in the United States.

[@slhines7]

I've noticed how the scent notes of Valentino Uomo EDT changed, even on their own website under the discontinued fragrances section. That's why I opted to not even buy it while "it" is still available.

[@ghost-carnage8964]

Always buy a backup of your favorite fragrances, and have a decent collection of ones you really love. That way you wont blow through certain ones everyday if you are a person who wears frag everyday.

[@Mr.CellophaneHart]

The skill in that opening, whooowee son! A star is born!

[@goneghosted]

Luna Rossa Black man…that’s all I have to say….it’s peak fragrance.

[@jts4248]

I don't understand why they would pull the plug on stronger with absolutely. I'm glad I have a full bottle

[@sorv5790]

So true, though. It shocked me the actual retail price of Lalique fragrances compared to discounters. I didn't realize how much time it takes for us in North-America to get them compared to their European release date. I'm moving to Europe! (lol)

[@RustyTridents]

Considering the price has increased on the BDC line twice in the last year, feel like it does make sense quite a bit

[@rd5469]

Bottled Pacific is on Joma 100ml $60

[@jonipalosaari5443]

Cool shirt Ash. Great vid once again. Kalevala!

[@djxgamingx3200]

Can you review bad boy cobalt elixer? I tested it on Macy's and the dry down smells very similar to invictus elixer.

[@CaseyMartin]

Based on this video, I recently looked up Boss Bottled Pacific on eBay and somehow found one a huge 6.7 one for $73 (plus tax of course). So I risked a blind buy and am so glad I did. Smells great to me! Definitely has a coconutty vibe, but not in an sort of obnoxious way. This might make sense only if you’ve smelled both, but I could describe it as the “opposite” of something like Luna Rosa Carbon. Haha, obviously I’m no Ash in the description department. Anyway, Pacific is yummy. K bye!

[@classicgator2434]

Azzaro Wanted by Night is no longer being made so definitely get yourself a bottle of that

[@GodIsWithUs4LIFE]

Can you please do a review about diptyque benjoin boheme if you have the fragrance in your collection? Thank you!

[@misskamisahketak8524]

valentino uomo edt already discontinue right? new version EDT no more choco or coffee note

[@jdubb2400]

I just got a new bottle and they changed the atomizer which has a cap now. Also they put spikes around the neck of the bottle and the smell leans really feminine 😢

[@nicholassua]

Valentino Uomo EDT is really solid and it is very saddd as it is now discontinued... what a masterpiece but dont worry.. have a look at Narciso Rodriguez Bleu Noir parfum.. totally the same and cheaper

[@marzioneto]

they just changed the bottle, and launched this week Acqua di Gio Profondo Parfum, with the bottle following the brand's new aesthetic

[@BrianK_70]

I'd heard a rumor of Profondo Parfum but have not seen anything official. Is it real and has it actually released?

[@rickytomatoes]

No, any Valentino Uomo you purchase will be the later batches (2021) and have that waxy, makeup bag type of iris. No coffee or chocolate.

[@McCarthyRay]

Just a heads up, but I picked up a 100ml of Polo Earth for $32 on clearance at TJMaxx. Yeah, it doesn’t have the best performance, but I love that honeysuckle scent. I think this fragrance is definitely getting phased out.

[@amirulaiman2296]

One of these days, I'm gonna stop commenting on this channel. Because Ash never responds to them. Anyhoo, I will be getting a backup bottle of Roberto Cavalli uomo. It is an absolute gem of a fragrance. I also love Silver Uomo, but it's getting harder to find.

[@85rockhound]

I have my back-up bottles of Aqua di Gio Profumo. Not a fan of the new Parfum.

They are crazy to keep Boss Bottled Pacific a limited release

[@Furnabulax1]

this was me with a few fragrances: 1) Light Blue Forever. it was so hard to find in general, so i bought 2 100mls to have enough to last 2) Le Beau Le Parfum i need a second bottle of if i can find it and have the cash, bc i like the scent so far, but ik i need 200mls of it if im gonna wear it a lot going forward. (smfh JPG shoulda made a 200 of it too, like Le Male Le Parfum...) 3) Khamrah and Black Origami by Lattafa bc i dont know if there would ever be a lawsuit against Lattafa like that fiasco with TF suing them for infringement. Got 2 100 mls of them.
