MY MOST WORN MEN'S FRAGRANCES | SCENT FOR DAILY LIFE

[@Spongelebob]

Fragrances, just like shaving and watches, can tend to become a hobby that gets out of hand quick 😅 My 3 favorites at the moment are Colonia Pura, Guilty Elixir and Royal Oud

[@johnbunton9177]

One of the last things I do before I leave the house for my morning walk, and to meet friends for coffee, is to put on some cologne. For me, wearing cologne is just as essential as wearing a pocket square with a suit jacket.

[@FSVR54]

Quorum!!! One of my all-time favorites and always in my rotation. Best value in perfumery! I buy it for $11 in general.

[@9er..]

Oh boy! Let the challenge begin…the wife and I JUST paid off both cars and all CC debt…Now I’m trying to hypnotize myself into not buying what I want when I want( your advice about learning from one’s past is ringing in me ears). Luckily during our last visit to Blighty we went semi crazy in Floris ( and elsewhere) and needless to say our Christmas will be quite fragrance filled.

[@macrocosmicorbit3982]

Kouros, Quorum, Lagerfeld Classic, Eau Sauvage parfum and Denim for me ...yes it's old mannish and I'm proud of it !!

[@sdb87149]

Bleu Parfum is top tier for sure 🔥 I sampled and now bought from yours and other’s recommendation. Truly the one of the most versatile scents IMO. Especially in my climate where we get all 4 seasons

[@Talon173]

For me i wear Dunhill Icon in the winter, Mancera Cedrat Boise in the summer and Creed Viking for special occasions. All 3 are great scents and get quite a few compliments

[@ccooper8785]

Good to hear your 10 scents worth...... (crickets)....🥵 I'll get my coat...

[@Fragman-Scoop]

Literally agree with your comments on BDC Parfum. Never a bad to wear it. Clean, fresh and classy. I have far too many fragrances if I was only allowed 1, I would happily wear BDC Parfum.

[@Roberto-xc5xy]

Great vid Ash. I would also suggest Tom Ford’s Tobacco Oud and Creed’s Bois du Portugal! Cheers

[@prestonradtke222]

I have that Chanel here in the United States… Though mines quite a bit costly, same size as yours was about 180 bucks. My go tos are the Chanel, by the fireplace, aqua Di gio and aqua de Parma Colonia Also, brickell makes a really good cologne that’s becoming one of my favorites

[@sdb87149]

Same here. Chanel regulates the market and pricing. No discounters can sell it and a lot of fakes on eBay. Only fragrance house I have bought full retail. Over $200 with sales tax for 100ml 😵

[@stuartbarnhill2795]

Enjoyed Sir, fantastic list, GOD BLESS

[@markwalsh6714]

Great video as always. Thankyou Ash

[@ravishingrick13]

Out of your selection I am only familiar with Guerlain's Habit Rouge and Chanel's Blue de Chanel. Habit Rouge is a complex, well blended and elegant scent, I absolutely adore it. It punches way above its weight considering its modest price and imho definitely outclasses many niche fragrances.

[@sdb87149]

Ash, I would love more fragrance content if you feel so inclined. Maybe another 10-20 of your best. Have you explored any Tom Ford? They are very pricey full retail but I quite like the Ombré leather (original, less sweet) and just bought a small bottle online. Maybe Oud Wood. There are several other hits as well you might enjoy I’m sure you know Czech and Speake as well, small niche house started on Jermyn Street

[@TheChapsGuide]

I do have some fragrance content coming soon.

[@CmdrBondUK-007]

A Few blasts from the past! I used to use Quorum back in the 80's as well, I might buy a bottle just for nostalgia's sake if nothing else. I quite agree that which scent you choose to wear will start your day on a positive note, literally and olfactory wise :)

[@bigvisk1125]

Some good ones there. You keep mentioning that Dunhill, I think I'll have to order that

[@ianf3536]

My benchmark on fragrance is whether I get a compliment from the Mrs. Are you prepared to disclose which is Mrs Ash’s favourite? Thanks for another great video!

[@TheChapsGuide]

She says…….. Chanel Bleu.

[@melvinmckinney9120]

My favorite fragrances are Aramis and Hugo Boss Number One . I also like Pinauld Clubman, Brut, English Leather, and British Sterling.

[@alekhidell7068]

I hope your top shave soaps are forthcoming, Ash :)

[@neilbaty284]

Another great video Ash, agree with all your choices, I have them all except for the Chanel and Eucris. Fancy the Eucris eau de toilette?! I got the Dunhill after seeing your reviews, the bottle is nearly empty now. I also have the original Dunhill for men, a classic French style fragrance. Keep up the excellent videos, always a highlight of the week 😀

[@douglassmith9338]

Ash & friends, don't know if you've tried Givenchy Gentleman (the 1974 original formulation), but I can recommend it for those who like the old-school masculine scents.

[@danielschaeffer1294]

I have a bottle on my dresser. I don’t use it all that often, because it strikes me as a rather formal evening scent. It’s what Bogart might have worn with Lauren Bacall on his arm.

[@jimmydigital]

Yeah I keep meaning to get a bottle. I follow MrSmelly1977 and he recommends it quite a bit

[@WernerAlbrecht-r6f]

Hallo Ash, I'm from germany and a follower of your channel . In one of your earlier editions about fragrances, somebody wrote in the comments about a scent called "encre noir" it's from 2006 by lalique, a swiss company. So, this is really a top hit that you should try. I never smelled anything like it. Very inexpensive too, but in very attraktive bottle.😊

[@TheChapsGuide]

I’ve recently purchased a bottle. It’s good!

[@WernerAlbrecht-r6f]

😂👍

[@michaeltaylor2402]

Great Video thanks for the recommendations.my favourite is Ombré Leather from Tom Ford it’s a Banger of a scent

[@MM-gi3qj]

Useful information by somebody who appreciates the past.

[@stuartwright9148]

Great video Ash, could I respectfully suggest a brand to try; Parfums de Marly. Fantastic fragrances and they supply samples, I recommend Layton, Haltaine and Sedley. They are a touch more expensive but will take your collection to another level.

[@nealefrancis9094]

Blue parfum was 2018 by Olivier polge after he took over from his dad jaques who created original in 2010 and flanker bleu edp in 2014

[@krismawyer55]

I believe I saw your older videos either just before or just after I got hooked on Tabac and Edition. But it does seem absurd not to keep a couple bottles of those in reserve. Oh when a North American summer just won't end the frigid dew upon the Autumn moss bottled therein with the sweet woody citrus does help one to hang in there until the sane weather months arrive! 😂 Therefore 1) I keep meaning to compare the legendary chypres eg. Dunhill Edition, Eau sauvage, Oscar for Men, Versace L'homme, Azzaro pour homme l'eau, etc. So if you ever deem this review task worthy of your time I will be thrilled. I may be better able to diversify when the cooler months arrive. 2)Thanks for the Eucris tip! It sounds fascinating and I'd never heard of it although the Trumper sandalwood has been on my radar. 3) I believe that the universe would benefit from a partner video with yourself and MrSmelly1977-you sit at a table next to each other casting hostile and defensive glances at each other having a fragrance review battle...What?! YOU don't get to have Houbigant Royal Fougere on YOUR list! EVERYONE KNOWS that's one MY top ten BUDDY! I said good day sir!" Anyways warmest regards best wishes cheers and thank you for all of the lovely videos!

[@Kennybooy9]

I have 2 go-to fragrances that you should try. Both are CHANEL. Each a little more costly. But that’s CHANEL. I think that you should try if simply to comment that you have tried. 1. Le Lion. one of COCO’s original 1 to 8 fragrances from which #5 was chosen. . Powerful-carnal- leather, tobacco and vanilla notes. 2. Boy.. Coco referred to her man friend Arthur Capel as Boy. He tragically died in a car crash in 1919. They would have married. This fragrance she created in 1920 as testament to him. Both are CHANEL incredible

[@stephengoodwin6403]

Abso;utely grand choices.Though I agree,I have,for the past few days,been wearing Alain Delon Samourai,in honor of the late actor

[@antonioraffa123]

As a cheaper alternative to Eucris I can recommend Drakkar Noir.

[@paulo-magum3621]

I like your style- Maybe you should try Cacharel pour homme and Loewe essencia- or Musgo real from Claus porto

[@melvinmckinney9120]

Great video Ash. My go to scents are Brut , Aramis and Hugo Boss Number One

[@professionalpookie]

[@haourss]

Spotted the Tabac bottle right away. (For fun, pairing fragrance and watch type is worth little attention. Well, the Halston eau du toilette would go with Hamilton Khaki on a steel bracelet. The Tabac goes with a Roamer Searock no question. Not sure what fits the Cartier Santos though) Cheers.

[@Olyfrun]

Well, out of these, it has to be the Bleu! Not my own favourite scent, but I think it matches the Cartier Santos (which I am fond of) just perfectly

[@John_in_da_UP]

Since I'm about 20 years your senior, my coming of age fragrances included Jade East and Hai Karate. Not the height of sophistication but just how worldly can a 15 year old boy be? Bleu by Chanel is my fragrance of choice now.

[@YakubibnEsau]

I like Lalique Encre Noir and L’Insoumis. Great scents for the money!

[@saulgoo2334]

After watching your reviews I thought I’d love Quorum silver, but I ended up LOVING original Quorum instead.

[@alangee2200]

Armanis any day !

[@PotsdamSenior]

I tried a few over the years, but I'm back to Tabac. I don't need anything else.

[@SureShot_2]

I like Stetsons

[@jimsmith7381]

Gotta agree about Chanel they never miss for me and if i had to pick one frag for life BDC would be a big contender. Got the best compliment I’ve ever had with floris 89 female colleague who knows nothing about the bond connection said “that’s how i imagine James Bond would smell”

[@w.adammandelbaum1805]

Much wisdom here. Some inexpensive goodies...warm weather, 4711. Business, quorum, preferred stock. Naughty nights, Cuba, or lower down the scale, English leather black. No honor in overpaying for fancy marketing and packaging. As usual, great outfit, jacket has 60s lapels...vintage?

[@hoozat007]

My go-to winter fragrance is Fahrenheit by Dior. I never hear it mentioned in any of these review videos… is it not popular? Or considered bad?

[@troecurov3]

I like it very much. I know it from 90s, and for me is that cucumber and petrol beautiful concoction...

[@danielschaeffer1294]

It’s a love it or hate it fragrance. Personally I can’t stand it.

[@soyELkuko]

Fahrenheit is considered "old school". It is also a polarizing fragrance. Very masculine and as mentioned before, not mass appealing. Where Dior Savauge is very mass appealing but I don't find it as masculine as Fahrenheit. Fahrenheit le Parfum is more accepting and smoother than the OG.

[@hoozat007]

Interesting. I tried a sample of Sauvage just 10 minutes before reading your comment. I’m wearing it on my arm right now and will pass it by my wife to get her opinion.

[@soyELkuko]

@@hoozat007 it is the no 1 selling men's cologne since the EDT came out. Followed by Bleu de chanel.

[@nameiskarim]

Woah Ash, you’ve actually scared me with that Eucris description. I don’t know whether to buy it or stay far away from it.

[@TheChapsGuide]

It’s a beast - a magnificent beast!!

[@stephenoliver1437]

Aqua de Parma colonia cary grant favorite

[@TroyTempest1]

He said it smelled like money……….old money.

[@MM-gi3qj]

Please make a video of very old fragrances

[@EvanderHolyfieldsLeftEar]

Hello Ash! How long do fragrances last? If you have a couple of hundred scents, aren’t you worried most of it will go to waste, or are you selecting fragrances with a long shelf life?

[@TheChapsGuide]

If stored correctly, out of UV light and at an ambient temperature, fragrances can last many years. I keep all mine in a dresser drawer in my bedroom and have many which are well over 10-years old, and have lost no potency.

[@EvanderHolyfieldsLeftEar]

@@TheChapsGuide oh wow! Thanks. I’ve been slowly growing a collection of fragrances, and this new information makes me feel less guilty about getting a few more.

[@richardsmegma5081]

Surprised you don't mention Eau Sauvage by Christian Dior (the original, not the Johnny Depp fronted one).

[@jimmydigital]

The reformulation has spoiled it

[@Eau_Yah]

Hello thanks for the nice fragrance video. Would you please share your thoughts on Dior Eau Sauvage? Thank you old chap!

[@TheChapsGuide]

Expensive, a little weak, but a citrus classic.

[@alangee2200]

Hi Ash !

[@stevelee7963]

Here's a question Ash, do you think the bottle design/ Artwork/ Packaging has any influence on you? I think we all like to think it doesn't but there is a reason why they spend so much on its design. I recently visited the perfume Museum in the South of France (Grasse) , they have a whole section on design and artwork of bottles. Well worth a visit for any chap knocking around the Côte d'Azur.

[@TheChapsGuide]

It doesn’t impact me much, but I know it affects many other people.

[@tonybaloney4195]

The chap is very smart

[@jimmydigital]

Lynx Africa

[@jt.8144]

BLEU DE CHANEL. that i own.

[@HonestGeorgeThePeoplesFriend]

Where do you store “hundreds” of cologne bottles?! 😮😬

[@TheChapsGuide]

In drawers in a spare room. No exposure to Av light or heat and they will last for many, many years.

[@rdcwild3023]

I thought you said Antaeus was a go-to for you?

[@TheChapsGuide]

I do like Antaeus.

[@Agerskiold]

I had Bleu Chanel edt back in 2010. I loved it/them and still do. This sent me out on a fragrance journey I’ve been on since ❤👌

[@e-remes7029]

Good evening Ash, Chaps I'm still not one for smells. I have just the 1, Floris No.89 I am still amused by your description of Eucharist.😂😂😂 🫡

[@Yaris510]

"My next fragrance, when I want to feel a little more seductive..." Okay, but remember: the French are allergic to the letter 'h', so that the 'h', preceding a vowel, is always silent; likewise, the final consonant of a noun in French is always silent, *unless* it is succeeded by a vowel. Thus, the correct pronunciation of 'habit rouge' is (more or less) 'abbey rouge'.

[@TheChapsGuide]

I’m not French, hence I pronounce it Habit Rouge.

[@Yaris510]

@@TheChapsGuide Ah, but I always feel that us chaps should make an effort to pronounce foreign words correctly - i.e., in the way that native speakers pronounce them. Just trying to be helpful.

[@danielschaeffer1294]

Keith Richards used to get irritated that the groupies used to flock around Jagger exclusively. Then he discovered Habit Rouge and the situation changed.

[@whankerNJ]

Gen X= Quorum!

[@adambb71]

For me, this has been getting out of hand for years. I've turned into a hoarder of fragrance and shave soaps/creams etc.

[@teenoso4069]

A couple hundred frags is a definitely embarrassing.

[@SimonTBam]

Habit is pronounced 'Habee', and Puig is pronounced 'Pweeg'.

[@gorgeousgeorge3947]

There is nothing that approaches the subtle malevolence of Eucris. Gravediggers, mafioso and defence barristers wear this fragrance.

[@spleenful]

Looks like an old man selection)
