My 10 HOLY GRAIL Fragrances - The Best Fragrances

[@KingOfAllBlunders]

Finally Ash making a list of his own chosing and ignoring the audience. I like his list better than "the colabs"

[@stephenweisser7357]

My top 5 in no order would be: Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille D&G Light Blue Intense Mancera Intense Cedrat Boise Dior Sauvage Elixir Tom Ford Neroli Portofino These fragrances just make me so excited to smell them. They lift my mood immediately. Incredible scents.

[@cloudcloudly]

Bleu, EDP. It just does it for me. I don't really care how popular it is. It's the first one I fell in love with because the grapefruit/critus. And I gravitate towards it at least once a week, sometimes two.

[@Rolly_951]

BDC fragrances are way too overrated. They do not smell that amazing to justify the price for it. They were the first blue fragrance so it got a snowball affect. Especially the Parfum version, so lame and generic scent i sold my bottle that was gifted to me.

[@cloudcloudly]

@@Rolly_951 Thanks for your opinion.

[@red2432]

@@Rolly_951 wrong

[@andrik5754]

@@Rolly_951agree with it being overpriced but it’s a great scent . I do however wish it lasted longer especially with the price tag going up a lot recently 😂

[@DavidBeast1000]

If you like grapefruit/citrusy, try D&G light blue forever and Italian love. Those two are amazing

[@ReynMan007]

Dylan Blue and the OG dolce and Gabbana started it all for me. Got few compliments wearing them since i got them and started my collection. Happy New Year Ash and Fam and to all my FragHeads bro and sis 🤙🏼

[@Rustyjamesman]

Versace dreamer was my first designer cologne purchase and it will always be a favorite of mine!

[@yehirosalazar62]

Ten fragrances that I really love, that when I smell them just think were made to me: -Bvlgari Man In Black. -Xerjoff Alexandria II. -Dior Homme Parfum. -Mancera Cedrat Boise. -Chanel Platinum Ēgoïste. -Parfums de Marly Herod. -Tom Ford Ombré Leather. -By Kilian Black Phantom. -Emporio Armani Stronger With You Intensely. -Nasomatto Pardon. 🔥🙌🏼🤙🏼

[@DJG281texas]

I find online a lot of people don’t like light blue forever. I love it. I still can’t find myself liking d&g light blue intense. It smells weird to me idk I feel light blue forever is much more unique and fresh smelling glad to see it in your tops.

[@blackcatchat]

I really like The Dreamer too. Lately I’ve seen some not so great reviews but I think it is great and for very little money.

[@ricardogarcia6453]

Men, love to se that… The Dreamer its a excellent go to fragance

[@YamatoSinji]

I haven't smelt the rest but i have one thing to say for tobacco oud...DiVine...this fragrance is a miracle. Smells money, masculine, smoke, whisky absolute masterpiece.

[@juhovalio5906]

My holy grails: 1: Xerjoff - Alexandria 2 2: Initio - Oud for greatness 3: YSL -Nuit de l'homme 4: Mancera - Oud lemon mint 5: Xerjoff - Starlight

Tom Ford Tobacco Oud, Dior Homme Intense, Amouage Memoir Man, Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche, Bond No.9 Bleecker Street, Versace The Dreamer, Monsillage Aviation Club, D&G Light Blue Forever Pour Homme, Nishane Sultan Vetiver and Boss Bottled Oud.

[@brandonabney6437]

I'm so very new to fragrances, but the ones I keep going back to are Khamrah, YSL EDP, and Armaf Craze.

[@7eddit]

Versace Dylan blue is for sure my best gym fragrance. It lasts for 2 hours + in the gym and even after coming back and washing my face and neck I can still smell it. It lasts ages on clothes and my friend who I go gym with it constantly getting whiffs of it. I definitely recommend it. The smell is amazing

[@victorb.94]

Same here. Dylan blue is an amazing gym fragrance. I recently got Jimmy Choo Man Aqua for the gym as well and it’s also great but Dylan blue is stronger.

[@wynonasbigbrowndragon6121]

It smells great, but I feel on my skin it would get a little too pungent while exercising. Glad it works for you though!

[@rodphilpot3784]

I smelled this on a guy in the grocery store and I have to go buy a bottle!

[@richardspurgeon8954]

Agree ,one of my fav blue frags

[@mgee1723]

I never liked when people wore cologne to the gym. Imo it is offensive

[@justinP90]

Love popping the cap and just smelling Marc Jacob’s Bang. The scent just oooozes from the atomizer. Don’t use it to often as I do no plan on paying eBay pricing lol.

Ash, thanks. Will always have DHI. It shines this time of year after holiday season. I have worn it for about 10 years and it continues to be complimented. When is the last time you wore it and why did you choose?

[@salemslotandmore8278]

Thanks for the List and Video 😀 Happy and a HEALTHY New Year !!!

[@iansamuelson3666]

It's awesome to see your channels growth. You have been instrumental in my fragrance journey. The visuals are a nice touch.

[@masonb9788]

I bought Dior Homme back in 2019 before the 2020 came out. Decided to add Intense earlier this year, and then Parfum more recently. I have to say, that having worn all three, DHI takes 3rd place. It's the most "safe" version of the three, the most easy going, and I do wear it more. But that's because I'm not concerned with running out of it, like I am with Orig. and Parfum. So, DHI definitely works as the "daily wear" version of the Dior Homme line for me. The other two for me are just more refined and sophisticated.

[@olliedawg83]

I finally got some of the parfum, and I can't stop spraying it on my clothes. It's all I want to wear. lol. I love it so much I already splurged on two backup bottles. First time I smelled the intense version, I wasn't very moved, so I gave away my travel spray. I now want to smell the intense again to see if my opinion has changed at all since I love the parfum so much.

[@ebj9510]

Suits does it for me firstly. Then Dylan blue and Profundo man those two together mad compliments..

[@jaybell2011]

Monsillage Route du Quai is one of my favourite scents. Perfect for spring/summer.

[@markiefraghead]

You should do a video on "back up bottlr worthy" if you haven't done it already. Only got two backup bottles of fragrances, and that is One Million Lucky and Chanel Sport Allure Eau Extremè

[@davefigore7843]

For me ... The Original Vintage Formula of Paco Rabanne Pour Homme. Definitely in Vintage Formulation ... Was my Signature Sent all through the 80's and 90's when I was in College and starting my Career.

[@bryanlynch3623]

My favorite fragrances I love to smell and wear Tobacco Vanille, Man in Black, Reserve Privee, Cedrat Boise, and Layton.

[@sorv5790]

Glad to see love for Memoir, that artemisia although divisive note is one of the best. Also, a great nod to Isabelle's work. Monsillage is a criminally unknown local indie brand. Trivia: Isabelle was in the same class at ISIPCA as Daniel Pescio who made Chameleon, one of my favorites from Zoologist. :)

[@paulvallandigham6701]

[@ternbug100]

Carolina Herrera Boy Boy Cobalt ELIXIR is my holy Grail (at the moment). I can't get enough of it. It smells surprisingly a lot like PR Invictus Elixir tho. I also purchased Invictus Elixir just because it's a different take on similar DNA...rich, earthy, slightly sweet, it is incredible!

[@Franvvard]

I just got into fragrances my top 5 is probably Baccarat 540 Extrait Jo Malone myrrh and tonka Azzaro the most wanted Giorgio Armani Armani code Mercedes Benz club black

Boss bottled oud i littttterallly just looked up since i sold my intense. I was on fragrantica looking at it as SOON as u pulled that out. Crazy timing. Nishane is the bomb.. i like ani , wulong, nefs, and ambre calabria. Only vetiver i like is tonkanand vetiver by hermescense

* PDM Haltane * PDM Carlisle * Boss Bottled Oud * Dior Sauvage EDP * PDM Sedley * Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Azraq * The Harmonist Hypnotizing Fire

[@992turbos]

I always thought holy grail referred to something hard to find, rare, etc. Its like your most wanted unicorn, the pinnacle you’re always trying to acquire, or maybe you already have but that phrase is usually attributed to something that is not easily obtained. Like a vintage bottle of Guerlain fragrance from the belle epoque or something, not department store fragrances still available to everyone lol.

[@amirulnazmi5741]

Holy grail can be any fragrance to your liking

[@GDMetellus8]

You all have to put your nose on The Harmonist - Hypnotizing Fire. That's my favorite fragrance in my 80 bottle collection.

[@nizzlemania836]

That Ralph’s club parfum is stunning. One of my top frags

[@DannyBellTheAuthor]

So, my defense of Purple Label vs Bleecker Street is this: Purple Label was first, and in my opinion, better. The biggest flaw with the fragrance is the atomizer. It sprays just the tiniest amount and then people complain about longevity and projection, and these are problems I've always solved by going heavy on the trigger. I've found that it's impossible to over spray. Side note: Light Blue Forever is a 10 out of 10.

[@suavemasky]

Lol, if you own both, you'll surely know that purple label is just a designer quality compared to Bleeker Street

[@flightgravity7483]

@@suavemaskyThat doesn’t negate the fact that he likes Purple Label better. I also prefer it over Bleeker St.

[@plausible.deaniability]

i use versace the dreamer as more of an air freshner in my bedroom than cologne

I just always assumed Drakkar Noir was number 1 on every list and didn’t require mentioning…

[@MartinSmith]

I would include RL RALPH'S CLUB....classy, elegant fits my mood and my style 👍👌

[@HDmanzano1995]

“The Scent” line from Hugo Boss is way better than it’s given credit for. Every time I smell something from that line it surprises me by being better than I expect. I need to get my nose on Magnetic still.

[@TheJaJe.]

Boss bottle elixir is the best

[@beebot]

Nice to see what you enjoy Ash. Quite different from my picks, I'm not one for sweet fragrances. For me, the Nishane Vetiver would be my definite pick from this selection. I've been enjoying Hermés Eau Givrée quite a bit over D&G's Light Blue, their Citon Noire is also fabulous for that fresh-citrus rind.

[@Furnabulax1]

Light Blue Forever was hard for me to find, but i was able to get 2 bottles (100 mL) and i plan to wear it this summer. i also had a hard time finding Le Male Le Parfum in 200 mL (i buy the largest size to save money), but i was able to get it at Macy's. i paid i think $25 more than FragranceNet at the time, but got a bottle of their Le Male Elixir Body wash and a messenger bag, which i would say makes it worth it.

[@franbueno98]

i don't recommend you to ALWAYS buy 200ml because sometimes they make it less stronger than the 100ml bottle. And also if you take too long to consume it the air on the bottle will deteriorate the fragrance.

[@thomasglover7937]

Finally… a gent scents list without JPG Le Male Elixir!

I have Memoir man and I like the smell but my issue with it, is how flat it lays on the skin. It has zero lift so have to get in super close to smell it. Might just be how it works on my skin.

So real quick if you’ve ever been to bath and body works and go to the car scents sections well it’s this one fragrance called Cactus Blossom that’s amazing and super unique. If you can one day smell it and tell me a fragrance that’s close to it so I can find it since you have a vast knowledge of smells in your head and you’ve come across. Thanks

I would really love a full review of Thomas de Monaco grand beau. Even if it's on your second channel. I actually ended up buying grand beau as my first full size niche when I got your sample set with twisted lilly. but I find that the reviews on KZbin don't have the same chrasmia as you.

Yes - Tobacco oud. Japan Noir hands down is my fave TF. Then Beau de Jour. Dior Homme (would take tobacolor or amber nuit instead) Allure homme sport (would take boy or coromandel instead) Sultan vetiver. My fave from Nishane No - anything from Mancera, Montale or D&G. Too sweet. Overrated. There’s better out there. Memoir (I would take jubilation 25 or reflection) Versace dreamer
