PARFUMS VINTAGE SUMMER BOTTLED - A WORTHWHILE SUMMER BANGER FRAGRANCE?

[@jpizz88]

Their prices are becoming obscene and that’s coming from a PV Intense fan.

[@AH-yu2pi]

jpizz88...you misspelled friggin' you wrote becoming.

[@kc8767]

Leaky bottles and bad costumer service too.

[@regalkismet]

The bottles don't actually leak, what happens is the atomizer nozzle dips below the collar when you spray it, blocking the spray and subsequently allowing juice to run under and over the collar and down the bottle. The owner is well aware of this as I sent him an email....his response was to not push the atomizer down all the way....wow...yep that's what he said...that's the mentality your dealing with...I love their products but they don't care about their loyal fan base.

[@AH-yu2pi]

"allowing juice to run under and over the collar and down the bottle" = leaking

[@regalkismet]

@@AH-yu2pi that's intelligent.

[@Fresh_Indeed]

yeah I had a really bad leaking problem with my bottle of pineapple vintage intense and rush of unicorns. I mailed them with the issue and they basically told me he same. I refuse to buy from them for that plus their prices are absurd for clones

[@PROD.MONKSS]

Finally an honest video about some parfums vintage thank you ash

[@regalkismet]

I agree, their prices are now at the gouging people mark, I'm a huge fan of alot of their frags and own probably 20 bottles of their products including back up bottles. I probably won't be buying anymore as they have lost touch and are just taking advantage of their loyal fan base.

[@capttrips8057]

My parfum vintage bottle leaks in the exact same place, maybe they should look at the quality of their bottles.

[@dadwithtwins1585]

I stopped buying from them once one of my atomizers broke and I had to decant the rest. My other two bottle leak fragrance when sprayed but haven’t broke yet.

[@sergemunitz1153]

Frapin's original is such a beautiful scent, even in spite of more modest performance, I will always prefer it over any clone :( Got my Frapin on NoseParis for under $120...

[@nunyabidniz3262]

Ashton is pretty much on point. I have Summer Bottled Intense - I love it. However, it doesn't smell as natural as FL. In the air, smells identical, on the skin, it smells more synthetic. PV is going too far with the prices; had I known I could get FL at the price Ashton suggested, I would've got the OG.

[@CK1da]

Really like this vid a lot. Thurough breakdown and comparison of the 2 frags and honest discussion about the cost and value. Its pretty insane the PV prices in general. Especially as u said if getting the originals from discounters. Thanks a lot and great job Ash. - Colin

[@antonioloffredo1543]

I love Frapin L'humaniste!

[@UnknownChap]

I'm so sick of winter, summer anything gets my attention 😍

[@guitarkyle]

I really like how the PV bottles look but I do not own a single one because of the price. When most of them are close to $100 for a 50ml, it's just a big turn off to me for a clone house. I think their samples are also overpriced so I don't own any samples either. Honestly I don't think I'll ever own one unless I buy a used/partial from a FB group or if they ever show up at discounters.

[@jingledubz3989]

Thanks as usual for your honesty Ash. Haven’t smelled this one, guess I don’t need to. You rock, Ash. 👊👍

[@cedenoanthony45]

Great review Ashton, appreciate your honesty and being transparent on this one

[@marh4651]

Thank you for the awesome video! Please do more videos in the near future on Parfums vintage fragrances!

[@dajuice7030]

So I have tried Summer Bottle Intense and got great performance out of it and am planning on buy it this coming summer. I am not contented to PV in anyway but do really like there offering. I will say the prices are becoming an issue. Which you pointed out but compared to Dua it’s better and PVI has better quality then Alexandria personally. Now about “clones” you guys know most “niche” house will clone whatever is the new thing. These people who say “I don’t buy clones” but then have a collect of Mancera, PdM, Xerjoff ,Roja and the list goes on and on and on....All of which release fragrance that you can tell is based off of something else. Even Creed has done it. Why do you think site like Fragrantica had the “smells like” section? I don’t see anyone saying these houses are overpriced clones houses. Just my two scents. These “niche” are just doing the same thing but now people get made because the Dua, PVI of the world are up front about it.

[@mypointofview5638]

Cos they do it better?

[@kyiri21]

Parfums Vintage:Hey Ashton we'd like for you to give your honest take on our fragrance Ash:So you've chosen death I swear on the King of England it's MY comment

[@HI-nx7lh]

I need long lasting fragrance list for hotter days!!!

[@alp1287]

I think this is the real meaning of "I'll give you my honest review" that most fragrance KZbin channels lack these days. Thanks, Ash.

[@ColbyNye]

Great honest review - thanks for sharing! I have a couple PV frags, but refuse to ever buy a bottle again, because of the outrageous prices they ask for clones. Not to mention the shoddy, leaky sprayers

[@ronshull18]

I have Humaniste,and I love it,but you must spray,spray,and spray some more.Be sure to spray your clothes as well.

[@poeticdesigns8893]

For the cost you would expect a bottle that doesn't leak.

[@nightprize]

I've owned a bunch of PV fragrances and none of them have been better than the original. I've ended up buying the original scent 95% of the time and got rid of my PV. Not because they're bad fragrances but they just tend to miss the mark in most cases. These clone houses are getting a bit out of hand with their pricing too. DUA is like $60 per oz? The point of buying a clone is to pay dramatically less than the original while still getting a similar vibe. I'd rather buy a decant of the real thing than pay high prices for a knock off.

[@christophercooper149]

I'm almost always against clones because of the morals behind it, but when PV is probably the one I dislike the most.

[@nucomers1]

Well I hope you don't buy from discounters or online community's.

[@nucomers1]

And I hope you don't sale online.

[@christophercooper149]

@@nucomers1 Yeah I don't. Despite my crying wallet I have always gone straight to the store of the respective brand so that the perfumery can get 100% of proceeds. Only in some cases would I consider buying it second hand / grey market. Such cases would be when I consider the fragrance house to be severely overcharging, like with Creed and their exclusive line.

[@dmarcus1260]

I'm surprised you still haven't reviewed any fragrances from Happyland Studio. Hopefully you will in the near future.

[@budigunawan5624]

I never have a niche fragrance. Just own one or two over $100 fragrance. For summer scents I usually go for blue fragrances or citrus fragrances since I live in the tropics.

[@adrianobello7452]

L'humaniste is one of my top summer fragrances of all time. Love it . Not a clone fan, but Thanks for the review

[@louiscaeiroramos8051]

For sure you can better purchase either the original Frapin, or you buy Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche.

[@bearclaws2934]

Still waiting for the day when these PV products are available in the US

[@ericxplackis]

Bear Claws - Huh?

[@94nolo]

But... They are...

[@bearclaws2934]

Where? Im talking about official Parfums Vintage seller here in the US

[@bearclaws2934]

or even 3rd party retailer here in the US

[@Dylan-zm3ht]

Have you heard of something called ordering online?

[@mattb42]

I went on a hot streak and bought a few of their bottles in a month but now Im not that interested. The only one that I will keep buying for sure is the aqua intense. That one reminds me of the invictus aqua 2016 and performs real well. But I have had leaks with their bottles too :(

[@rmkenya125]

Parfums Vintage Emperor Maximus? Any thoughts on this one?

[@JezzaN1]

Not a fan IMO. The original Emperor EDP is significantly better and less synthetic smelling.

[@mikelykan.9416]

Emporer Extract or Emporer Napoleon are better imo.

[@casket-crew]

I have two different fragrances from PV, both have sprayer problems including the leaking you've shown here. I tried contacting them over a year ago and never received a response.

[@michaelbullock8011]

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

[@ericthered1140]

Please review an Armaf house thats similar to this one. Club de Nuit was a perfect clone and more inexpensive....💯

[@MelHoy]

I could use some summer in a bottle right now! I'm up in Canada 🇨🇦❄

[@mrtacomandude]

This house has never interested me. I’m not normally the person to dislike a clone house, but it just seems so overpriced for what you get. I’ve smelled their millesime imperial clone and I though Unforgivable was miles better. One is ~$35 for 100ml and the other is way more expensive. I think that one experience kinda ruined the whole thing for me...

[@davidsharingan100]

You should try Armaf Milestone, I've heard its a better clone of MI than SJ Unforgivable

[@kob9777]

As someone who does buy clones (Dua recently have really got me) I can say that I own every original fragrance or a decant at least and the only reason I look for a clone is due to the original house having terrible performance on my skin. So example Creed VIW which I love so, so much, or BR540. Two of my fav scents but they literally get 30-60mins of projection and are gone (and i have checked it is not me going anosmic). They become a hard skin cent. So that is where I can really appreciate a clone house and would even pay close to the original frag price for the same DNA if it performs 5x more in terms of projects for 3-4hrs instead of 30mins. Where I cannot defend a clone house charging close to the original price is when the projection/performance is almost the same as the origianl... in that case what is the point of a clone house. You have to have a USP - super cheap, or projects 5x longer etc. But if I only get 1.5x more projection then I might as well stay with the original and at least i have the small ego boost when I pull it out after 60mins to top it up of knowing it the original house that I am re-applying:)

[@deniz9193]

Thank you for the Video. I never understood why anyone buys PV i eather buy the Original or a clone thats cheap

[@MP-ej9pw]

I just passed on this one. I liked the scent, but couldn't get over the price,

[@cosengvonhandyladenbesitze9498]

Hey could you rewiev Ani from nishane? I want to buy it but its not available offline where I live.

[@GodsServant543]

50 ml for 95 dollars equals 180 dollars for 100ml. Not a big difference. The only disappointment with me is the potential bottle issues. Their emperor line is significantly cheaper than aventus and while there may be a quality difference the longevity doesn’t compare. (New batches anyway)

This was a flop for me(intense version). Really disappointing. Smells nothing like the the original to my nose. It doesn't smell bad but compared to how they've cloned everything else, theres no comparison. I get a herbal/ citrus air freshener vibe with a slight note of spice in the background.

[@francisorig1767]

Hi what’s the best Parfums de Marly scent for all around use for all season ? I was looking at Layton and Carlisle

[@m1ghty124]

Carlisle is by no way a all around season scent (just winter and fall), Layton is a all around use scent.

A Fragrance with "bottled" that is not huge boss. That kind of reminds me of Boss line, specifically Boss the scent parfume. I hope someday there is a review and if at all possible, a huge boss wife rating would be greatly appreciated too.
