The 6 Fragrances That TLTG Reviews HATES!

[@foreignexchange170]

Love a hate video from someone like you because of your genuine love for fragrance. You never really have anything negative to say lol. The way you casually delivered urinal cakes and apple juice is hilarious 😂😂😂

[@danielsuchow]

You should do a “best of this DNA” video. Like which barbershop. Which bubblegum. Which aquatic. Which blue etc.

[@buggaluggachug9570]

agreed!

[@TheChipster61]

I purchased Grey Flannel on a blind buy. It has been the absolute worst fragrance purchase of my life. I agree with you 1000%. It was sprayed once and hasn’t been touched since, and never will be.

[@MrBorndd]

But it has a place in your collection 😅

[@TheChipster61]

@@MrBorndd No, it went directly into the trash. It was that bad

[@Mr-ow3mk]

Agree super horrible smells better on skin when powdery but still horrible

[@Mr-ow3mk]

​@@TheChipster61matter fact I'm going to do the same when I get home idk why it's still in my home not even worth putting in the bathroom for sh#t spray

[@DevanteMcDaniel]

Yeah, it's definitely 🗑️🗑️🗑️

[@Shagwellsback]

Bro this is a great video its not about people wanting to hate on things it's more people like to hear your opinions on frags and we definitely can use a video like this here and there. I definitely enjoy your positive videos as well and I've bought SEVERAL frags because of your video on it! Most wanted intense and Invictus parfum is 2 of the latest I trusted your nose so purchased and sure enough exactly as you described and they are great! Thanks for the video buddy I been binge watching alot of your vids love your content bro!

[@greggraham9785]

ALL GAVE SOME AND SOME GAVE ALL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND SACRIFICE. HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY. SOTD BRIONI INTENSE

[@Hyperbole_Will_Destroy_Us_All]

I’m getting an outdoor life alert ad type vibe where an elderly gentleman is on the lawn with a sprinkler spraying him from your description of that grey flannel. Paints quite the picture.

[@FragranceInducedComa]

I wore Argos triumph of Bacchus tonight for church and sprayed my neck and it definitely stained my shirt. But it smells amazing. Bottle worthy for sure. I sprayed Adonis now. Love that one too

[@WilliamRodriguez-fbw]

I have decants of both looking forward to trying them

[@waterboy-315]

It’s so great seeing you out of your “comfort zone” , thanks for giving the “people” what they wanted , maybe if it does well you could do a yearly top 5 ?! , great stuff 👍🏻

[@FitxFresh]

I laughed out loud when you took out the grey flannel. It was one of my first blind buys from Ross when I was getting into fragrances. Immediately knew I’d never wear it

[@stayfreshproductions]

This was great man 😆👌🏾

[@willsalter8113]

This video is exactly why I say fragrance content is subjective. Of the 300 bottles in my collection Joop Homme is one of my most complimented ones. I’ve been wearing it for about 30 years now and I still love it. It has been reformulated so it’s not nearly as obnoxiously loud as it use to be but it’s still a breast and women still love it. It’s not to many times when I wear and I don’t get a compliment and or positive attention. Another excellent video and keep the content coming.

[@walkerck]

Grey Flannel was a revelation to me in the early 2000s. It hasn't been a go to for me in a very long time but I respect it.

[@YoTratoYTrato]

I love Joop Homme, then again I made it my signature when it first came out baaaack in the day, lol. Great review!

[@jd9119]

At least it doesn't smell like urinals.

[@MFleet2250]

I worked at Best Buy a long time ago. One of the managers’ signature scent was JOOP! Homme. I have PTSD from it lol. Sickeningly sweet. Smells horrible.

[@marshjj3788]

😂 I had a similar situation with a colleague and joop homme I just don't know how a guy would be happy wearing it

[@PRBBEUSMC]

Whoa “grey flannel!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Wow I’m stunned!!!!!!! I agree on the Joop. 😢

[@olliedawg83]

@@marshjj3788 lol, some people have fucked up noses

[@Girard-it2wt]

My dad used to wear grey flannel. Gave everybody in a 2 mile radius a headache and nausea. The ABSOLUTE worst. That bottle gave me nightmares

[@olliedawg83]

I made my father quit wearing brut.

[@buggaluggachug9570]

this video was funny af. im down for a part 2! just realized its super rare to see you dislike a fragrance, almost didn't recognize you with these facial expressions 🤣

[@dduke777]

Very well put together. Agree on all accounts. I stayed away from oceanic once upon a time because of you lol. Thanks bro!

[@boss_vision65]

At least we have one thing in common...the despisal of Grey Flannel. Not only is it metallic and moldy, but its an instant headache inducer. Like literally. My dad used to wear it and it was the one I avoided it like the plague. Another scent that shares the profile and the headache inducing vibe, is the Tom Ford Noir Anthracite.

[@heavensentssmokingchannel9847]

Been subbed for a week, can’t wait to jump in on the live streams soon !

[@MrClark30]

I spray Cuba Prestige Black in my son's room after his bearded dragon takes a dump 😂

[@StefaanDik]

😂😂😂😂

[@kevinfessler6831]

I'm not sure why anyone would be "mad" or "upset" at a reviewers (or anyone's) dislike of a fragrances. It's all just preferences based on a person's personal pallet. There are certain scent profiles I can't stand, but would never criticize someone who loves them.

[@PRBBEUSMC]

Whoa grey flannel,😢😢😢😢😢😢 Absolutely stunned.

[@ahmadharris4627]

Ouch! Right out the gate you hate one of my faves of all time - Joop! Nostalgia. Albeit I’ve never smelled the edp, the OG just brings me back to the good ole days. lol.

[@Roy_Godiksen]

The original "Cool Water" is a legend, and blind buy worthy for most. And then this... 😔

[@Tristanw2001]

Great video, Ross ! I respect your opinions, and you keep it real! You aren't disrespectful at all, and if we all can't have different opinions, the world would be boring. If people would just agree to disagree and be respectful, this world would be in such better shape! I personally don't like Joop Homme it's just not for me. And I have grey flannel in my collection. I just haven't had the chance to wear it yet. I got it at a rack store. We shall see. Have a great day. God bless 😊

[@trustno1.]

I have a love-hate relationship with Joop. There are days when I love the scent and can't get enough of it. And then there are days when I can't stand it. I love cinnamon. Every year at Christmas, I need cinnamon-scented candles and cinnamon star cookies. That's probably why I like the scent during the cold season until today

[@mattgagnon5866]

Thank you Ross. I have smelled a lot over the last 5 years (750+) and I don't think I have ever smelled any of the 6. Not rushing out to get them now.

[@sincerelyme7423]

I admire your positivity. Very much so

[@omarg123ful]

I never understood why ppl get upset over fragrances 😅

[@moefeaux1442]

I'm approaching 70 in a few months and couldn't agree more with Joop and Grey Flannel. I haven't had the displeasure yet and now probably never will put my nose on the other 4 mentioned. I'd also include Versace The Dreamer with the first two, though Geoffrey Beene's Bowling Green and Aramis's New West are ones I've stockpiled and still rock to this day as two of my old school all time favorites but haven't smelled the blue GB one you mentioned. Being born and raised in NOLA, I appreciate the love of the Saints gear you exhibit. You couldn't pay me to watch basketball though, no Pelicans or NBA for me. Geaux Tigers! SOTD: Versace Green Jeans a discontinued hard to find banger while they continue to produce Blue Jeans amazes me. Have you ever smelled any of the 3 old school frags I've mentioned here (Bowling Green, new West or Green Jeans) any your thoughts if so? Enjoy your channel.

[@YouLookinAtMe-Bro]

Hey Ross, always look forward to your take on things. Just wondering if tou could possibly do a video on scents you didnt like at first, bit changed your mind after maceration. Excuse me for asking if you did already, and if so could you leave a link? B5r safe all

[@misterelom]

Not sure if I told this story on another one of your videos or not (pardon me if I'm repeating) but I bought Joop Homme back in the late 90s only because a girl I dated at the time knew I liked fragrances (I was super early in my journey) and mentioned it was her favorite. I still have a bottle now but never wear it. Not because of any past memories, but it just doesn't hit for me anymore. I hear people make the Individuel and Original Santal comparisons also, but neither are anywhere near as obnoxiously sweet or cloying like Joop.

[@robotfowl]

🤣 I used to think I was the only one who despised Geoffrey Beene's Grey Flannel. Apt description.

[@soricivica11]

I love Joop...in a same time people advertising more sweeter fragrances..I always get compliments with it

[@Mysticlees]

Joop was something i wore in HS in the 90s. I remember it being way too sweet. Way too juvenile for a 40 something year old man

[@will.i.am_copeland]

Great vid!! It'd be cool to see a list of those frags that you really like that perhaps the Wife doesn't. I think we all have those; where WE absolutely love them, but our significant other can't stand it. Definitely have those with my Wife.

[@virtusleather]

grey flannel was a blind buy and instantly regretted. i keep it in the family van as an air freshener, in that way its not so bad 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@TrevynPlays]

What about Brut? I remember that as a kid it was cheap & kids would wear it but it was so strong & over powering 😂.

[@misterelom]

10:23 Dude, how did I know you were going to mention Grey Flannel 🤣🤣? I have a sample size I got with a Macy's purchase back in 07 that I only wore once, maybe twice. I can totally understand why people wouldn't like it. Wouldn't say I hate it but not a huge fan either and can't picture a scenario where I'd want to wear it.

[@jimmoberly308]

Man, wore Joop Homme and Grey Flannel many, many, many years ago. Not 75, but 63. Bought a bottle of Joop a couple years ago for old times sake. One spray is enough for me. Thought about the Grey Flannel too. Never tried the Eau or Bowling Green from Beene. Side note, love that Tommy Vibrant Summer.

[@Parallax62]

100% Joop & Grey Nasty Flannel I feel like yacking every time my nose comes across them! The rest I dunno and don't want to. Thanks Ross for the heads up.

[@MegaNassu]

Before watching the whole video, I thought, I don’t have a single one I hate, until I saw Cuba Black: the only fragrance I have ever smelled that has something that wakes up my puking reflex. Otherwise I agree that some Cuba fragrances are great, Royal Fortune being my favorite. For me, a fragrance that is guite unpleasant, is Santal 33.

[@timlacour3786]

It stunk back then too..and Grey Flannel was my scent at 15. Not now

[@soakedbearrd]

I don’t think the point is that haters want hate videos, moreso I think, people are weary of fragrance promoters, and when you have a reviewer always like or better put never really dislike any of the fragrances he/she reviews, you start to wonder. I’m speaking in general here. So videos like this are welcomed once in a while. Here are some of my worst buys: Lattafa - Shaari Paco rabbanne - Phantom Swiss Arabian - Shaghaf Oud Franck O - Oud vanilla Reye traditions - insurrection John V - vintage

[@sophisticatedgrizzly01]

Grey Flannel smells like a serial killer starter kit 😮

[@JustANumber0123]

Oh yeah Joop Homme I remember having that fragrance back in 1995 when I was a freshman in HighSchool. Stuff was potent 😂

[@AkizaNoir]

I had Joop Homme for years and I wore it once… to me it’s just a straight up cough syrup smell lol

[@ronaldclayton4232]

Joop was good up till about 96 or 97 but it was never something I wore very much.Back in the mid-late 90's Calvin Klein was the big thing for about 2 years all I wore was Escape, Eternity and CK one.

[@comrademax57]

Joop Homme was my teenage scent back in the day, haven't smelled it in years but I was surprised that everyone seems to hate it (and some love it).

[@scottthompson4193]

I still love it along with all the flankers

[@rcpilot2007]

Totally agree with you on Joop. I love Individual.

[@coreykneedler4110]

I recently bought Ajman Verde and I absolutely hate it. I love me some greenies, but shoooooot that drydown on Verde literally makes me sick to my stomach for some reason!

[@MarcusjMalloy]

I had to think Urinal Cakes? 🤔 ahh blue pi55 blocks 😂 for me, I took a bottle of CK Be into work & the staff thought I had swapped it with window cleaner haha, unsure if the bottle went off, but I always got that cleaner smell from that 😖🤙🏻

[@briankelsey4232]

LOL, listening to you do a note breakdown and drawing the visuals of what you are saying... best laugh i had today! thanks!! i have CW oceanic and yeah not great, dont wear it! one of the worst i remember my dad wore (sad to say!) and is still around... Brut! man that smelled like a park outhouse to me!

[@paulcoverdale8312]

Hey Ross, I’m suprise there still on the shelves.😂😂😂😂😂 David off started in the 70s! Nice to see you doin the money wasters.🙏🙏👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@Roaddawg68]

The original Joop back in the early 90s smelled different, now it sucks its not the same or maybe it is me, or maybe they reformulated it but i am not sure.

[@ansac3000]

I agree with the grey flannel....it would make a great bear spray.

[@blackerdays]

Thanks for this. It was fun! I agree fully on grey flannel. Have it also a point of reference maybe wore it 2-3 times MAYBE. I used to wear Joop when it first came out. I can’t remember what it smells like. I gotta get a small decant to remember. I still wear from that time period Curve for men and I still absolutely love Hugo by Hugo Boss.

[@mjhilll]

finally some light and shade, i thought that you were working on comission, vid shows integrity. House of Sillage plz, don't know why no one reviews them. please explain

[@YouLookinAtMe-Bro]

I haven't tried Joop homme YET, but since it's such a beast... would it be a good sweet base for layering? That was a pretty funny video though!😂

[@olliedawg83]

it's good for nothing...lol...trust

[@wyattc.4455]

Walked past a lady who was wearing a fragrance I’d smelled times before and really dislike. Asked the lady what she was wearing and it Cashmere and woods I think she said. Good gosh it’s so strong and “grandma” ish. She asked why I asked and I told her I liked it because I didn’t have the heart to make her self conscious about something she likes. Anyway, terrible to me.

[@adamlogan9500]

I like cuba black. Smells like Irish spring and I love Irish spring

[@Kenoji8]

DUDE, I DON'T LIKE GREY FLANNEL EITHER!!!! I grew up as a kid and it was in the little fragrance gift boxes that I would sometimes get for Christmas and I NEVER wore it (along with some others). I couldn't understand the appeal at all. But the thing that a lot of people don't understand is that when you have had your nose on higher quality scents that have a lot more depth and passion, the basic stuff becomes...boring. And when you go back to some things, they just smell so generic that you don't want to really indulge in them. So yes, GF may be awesome to some people...but have they tried a Gravitas Pour Homme or maybe an Original Santal as alternatives to classic scents? If they tried more, they'd probably go back and say, "Hell no."

[@Andre-up2kd]

Hey Ross, ever tried any fragrances from AMANZADA PERFUMES -COLLAB?? I'm driving into the house and what good offerings they have..

[@lowellgood7834]

As soon as you said "75 years old at heart", I knew it was going to be Grey Flannel. Bought a bottle one time and quickly gave it away. Awful.

[@eddies8502]

Fun Video Ross. I don’t understand why people get so offended if you cant stand something they like. That’s not just fragrances. I can’t stand country music I think it sucks but I don’t mind if someone likes it. I don’t expect everyone to like what I like. It’s so weird to me.

[@bizzieone]

Joop! isn't bad. Cheap? Sure. It's not amazing, but i actually wear it a couple of times every fall/winter. I don't know about any of the others

[@daviddoran8397]

Hi Ross. So funny, but two of my least favorite of all time are in your hate list. Joop Homme, and Grey Flannel.

[@haitang]

Seriously it's a birth right to hate too. Freedom of speech and expression us suppressed subconsciously nowadays.

[@Ajack1710]

Grey flannel was my jam back in the days

[@ryanhood999]

My Stepdad kept a bottle of JOOP! in his car😂 and would stank up the place with that stuff…😅

[@OSoU812]

I liked Joop. It was also 1990 and I was in Germany...😊

[@michaelcovington2623]

Hey just out of curiosity how do you feel about Tom Ford Cafe Rose

[@TLTGReviews]

I haven't tried it, actually

[@LithiumBG]

Phew, I was afraid you're gonna include Versace The Dreamer here (I think I've heard you mentioning it's not your thing)😅 That Prestige Black is a famous player in your rack store hunt videos for quite some time now😁 I have not tried the original Joop Homme, but I have the same reaction with the EDP. It just sickens me.

[@ChristopherCologneASMR]

I hated joop homme when I first got it, but it grew on me. My bottle has changed smell though. Moschino toy boy smells like dill pickles and salty pine sol... I hate oceanic edition too... ive realized I really don't like anything with a driftwood note.

[@mastagrey]

i know a lot that hates grey flannel, but i love that one, it smells good on me, i get compliments even from those who hates it when i tell them im wearing grey flannel they just couldnt believe it hahaha 🤣

[@myhudzaifah]

I'm glad you dont mention ELDO Secretion Magnifiques

[@wyattc.4455]

Lalique’s Encre Noire was my 3rd fragrance in my journey and good lord was it terrible the first time I smelled it. Grew on me since then. Still got rid of it though 😂 No reason to smell like some wet moss next to a tree for me.

[@olliedawg83]

agreed, pretty gross

[@jrmunroe4024]

I have gray flannel, and I like this one. It is stinky but for some reason I love it. My daughter absolutely hates it and thinks it smells like a wet dog blanket LOL but I do enjoy this one maybe I am like a dog that rolls in stinky stuff LOL

[@bellantwain21]

I never tried joop I heard bad reviews about that one love the video Ross stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way Happy memorial Day

[@adamjones5931]

My wife's father uses Joop! Homme as his signature scent. I can't be anywhere near him without being reminded of a locker room full of 14 year old boys, cos I wore the fuck out of it when I was at school - we all did.

[@DrugFreeDansby]

It’s that oceanic that didn’t make the cut!!! I was looking at the EDT I think. Next up is Club de nuit iconic for me. Blind buy

[@pkj77]

i love all the cool water but the oceanic edition haven´t tested that much, i just got the gray flannel i like it not the greatest but okay...i have no idea what the rest you mention smells like cant get them here where i live

[@brmo8589]

Totally agree with Joop and grey flannel! One that I hate that everyone loves is Kajal Lamar That one smelled like a chemical mess to me. I also don’t like original cool water not because it’s bad, but because it reminds me of high school in the 90s smoking weed, listening to snoop dog, and spraying a shit ton of cool water to try and cover up the smell lol!!

[@funkytmf]

Hey brother question between haramain amber gold edition and bharara king which you think is the better option? and thank you!

[@TLTGReviews]

Never tried either

[@funkytmf]

@TLTGReviews well you have two new ones to try then hahahaha

[@Oshianis]

Smelled Joop! Homme recently at tj maxx... it was horrible. And I accidentally sprayed it on my fingers and could smell it for like the next 3 hours. Almost died.

[@chrisballard5743]

Am i weird for saying out of all your videos i probably enjoyed this one the most 😂. As Darth Vader said, embrace the hate. But honestly, i know Joop Homme gets hated on now, but trust me in the late 90s early 2000s it was 🔥🔥. And the women absolutely loved it. It was the first fragrance along with Eternity for men i smelled on someone else and said i have to have that. But now its the laughing stock of the fragrance community. But i get it, everybody's taste is different, and this is a subjective hobby, and the new ones may smell like s@#$. But man, was that thing like a magnet for women back in the day.

[@Jeremy_Scents79]

Grey Flannel is terrible. I agree the first time I smelled it I thought to myself who would actually wear this

[@sactasticvoyage4449]

After 4 plus years, I'm still surprised you kept Cuba Prestige black, especially knowing how much you hate it.

[@FragsInHand]

Hey Ross great video my man. I knew you didn't like oceanic edition and the cigar ones lol I mentioned I wore oceanic edition the other day when I wore it out the shower on a livestream and you said you hated it lol all good I don't wear it much lol good thing I go nose blind quick eh lol

[@mluna6702]

I'll get it out of the way - I can't believe you would say something negative about a fragrance. It's all subjective. There, now nobody has to do it.

[@silverbacksillage6812]

Great job Ross

[@Mattheo76]

The Joop is a compliment monster and unique. Women love that shit. For myself a nogo is Nishane Fan your Flames or TF Oud Wood and Encre Noir by Lalique.

[@desuschryst382]

I can see it wit Oud Wood. Smells like Comet.

[@billybatts4061]

I think it's sad you feel you have to explain to people that this is all subjective and we're all not going to like the same things. I don't understand why people get so offended by someone's opinion of a fragrance, good or bad. It's wild to me 😂

[@TLTGReviews]

It's the space that I operate in unfortunately
