Don't blind buy Elixir, especially at the price. Some will love it, some will not.

Correct. I personally don''t like it at all

[@aswi1722]

[@TheAnimePiper]

Definitely not for a blind buy, I enjoy it quite a bit but the licorice and cardamom notes in it give it a bit of a fennel vibe which is not for everyone.

[@jimlittle5769]

Couldn't agree more. I also would say dont blind buy Profumo. I did, and man I regret it.

[@fernie2583]

I agree 💯% 🤙🏽

I don't have Moustache but I do own Lattafa's Kismet. It is a marvelous scent profile. I say it every time, but Terra Nova is a classy scent. I'm a big fan of that one.

LaTaffa "The Tux" is a vastly superior YSL Tuxedo clone than Moustache is, and its cheaper.

[@wildsquirtle9685]

I love Montblanc Explorer. Although it may not be what got me interested in fragrances, it's one the one I started my collection with. Very versatile. You can wear it with a simple t-shirt all the way to a suit. Highly underrated for what you get for the price imo.

[@James7995]

I’ve owned a few bottles and yet, even I underrate it.

[@dragomirvalentin]

Too bad it doesn't last too long, it quickly becomes unnoticeable and its very sad because it's such an incredible scent

[@neznamtija8081]

Tbh I don’t understand the hype about the explorer at all … I actually don’t smell it on me at all in just under like 2 hours maybe and when I do and when it’s most intense just after spraying I am actually repulsed by it … and it was a blind buy for me as everyone was raving about it for years up on here … but generally speaking I just love sweet, spicy, gourmand scents so maybe that’s why I find the expeller so off putting …

Hey Ash, just wanted to say I found your channel about 2 months ago when I was just looking into Frags and you have turned me into a "Frag-Head". Can't wait every day to see the next video!

[@tdrb42]

Started my fragrance collection with Sauvage Elixir at the recommendation of the Dillard’s salesman, and I didn’t realize what an outlier it would be in terms of performance. The stuff is incredible. I’ve since added Aventus and Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum to the mix. Can’t wait to keep growing the collection.

[@MoahGentle]

Not bad at all. You can also find great scents for way cheaper, too. For example Bentley for Men Intense

[@anon420098]

Try niche fragrances to find gems and smell different

[@soccer90tem80]

Enjoy your scents 🙂👍

[@Memfys]

Great start, mate.

[@NicoGolf.]

Based on your current collection… it seems like more expensive frags don’t steer you away… definitely try Parfums de Marly Greenley… absolutely fell in love with it but would never fork out the cash at that $330 price point… however, maybe u would.

[@derred723]

I have Moustache. I don't find it smooth. It's a blast of pink pepper. I mean if pepper spray is smooth then yeah. But I'm not sure. I don't hate it but it is one of the least worn scents i have.

[@superchala]

I recommend you apply a High Pass Filter, maybe around 100Hz, on your microphone track when you are editing. It will remove the rumble generated by air or taps on the table. Thanks for the awesome content!

[@NTHunt]

Thank you! His audio quality has definitely changed in recent months. Its starting to sound like it has a slight echo

[@BestBrandsPerfume]

LOVE THE INTRO. You should do that for like 50 videos or one week which ever comes first! haha...Like Jeremey and his non stale spin...its not 2015 he read that book fredrikeklundny, the guy who does a karate kick whenever he sells real estate in New York, Im Sure he did the spin becuase the book and his spin came out same time...conspiracy?

I had been looking for Missoni Wave at my local discount stores. The only one I found was trying to sell a tester for 55 bucks. I ended up just ordering it online today. 🙃

[@miguelcardenas2413]

Saw it at tj maxx for 33 bucks .

[@snubbii9276]

I got my bottle of Moustache for 30 plus quid a few months ago. Nice smelly Prefer and own CDNIM edp over explorer. LR Black is much nicer than carbon. LHI is also top notch. Azarro WBN is a standout performing frag

[@Lou2cents]

Must say, you're forgetting that Mont Blanc Explorer, is a lot like Aventus but the real main note that separates it, is the Haitian Vetiver

[@d7r_tv]

Tommy Hilfiger Impact INTENSE should seriously make to this list. It's incredibly underrated for a fragrance that smells like niche. Also great layer to put PDM Carlisle on top.

[@michaelbullock8011]

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

[@SparklyBird]

Why does his microphone sound like he boosted the bass? Whenever I watch his videos, I always have to boost the low and middle notes so it's easier to listen.

[@tonyp333777]

Elixir is beast mode. It’s headache inducing strong. I might sell it……..but the same thing happened to me circa 2016 with Dior homme parfum early batch 2.0 once bottle. It was NUCLEAR STRENGTH. The strongest scent I’ve owned ever around 90 plus scents. I sold that one and nowadays it’s crazy expensive.

[@TheRealOne2294]

Yves Saint Laurent Live Y live edt. Given a lot pleasure a year a go I spend them it is really fantastic perfume and very uplifting too.

[@victormonterroza9471]

What room temperature should I store my cologne in?

[@dqyler]

Of these I've got.... Explorer - great scent, great pice, I enjoy this much more than other aventus clones, like CDNIM, Supremacy etc. Sauvage Elixir - Beast mode, masculine & spicy, super quality. Missoni Wave - super freshy, wear this to the gym, great quality for price, great atomizer & magnetic cap. SWY intensely, nicer opening than intensely, similar drydown to my nose, great autumn & winter frag. Y EDP - my least favorite of all these, I don't hate it but I do find it really boring, not a lot of character. Great video dude

[@angelosgkelias]

Recently got a 200ml bottle of YSL Y EDP and it feels weaker. Is there a possiblity that it has been reformulated?

[@michaelmorrison3404]

Usually when frags get popular, they get reformulated due to thier success. Companies know that people will still buy it even if it's a little weaker. YSL did this to La Nuit de L'homme. It happens often

[@angelosgkelias]

@@michaelmorrison3404 Yeah, I know. Just looking to confirm it from a trustworthy source. I could have phrased it better tbh.

[@michaelmorrison3404]

@@angelosgkelias Sorry, I wasn't trying to be rude, I hope it wasn't reformulated.. The weird thing that I've noticed about 200ml bottles is that they always seem weaker. All of my 200ml bottles have been weaker than my 100ml bottles. I have a 200ml of La nuit de L'homme and a couple 100ml bottles and I really notice a difference. Same with my 200ml Sauvage, Dylan Blue, YSL L'HOMME and a few others. I have had others say the same thing. I have a 100ml of Y EDP, Le Parfum and Y Live and they seem to last 8+ hours for me?

[@LBSure]

Y Live has gotten me a few compliments. I understand what you’re saying. Smelling it off myself I don’t get it, but apparently it works.

[@victorkimotho6352]

Bought The Tux from Maison Alhambra and was blown away by just how close it is to Tuxedo. If it is consistent with its current quality Moustache is redundant . I have moustache and there is a noticeable almost Middle Eastern incense note in its drydown that I never really loved but it remains an absolute classic

[@kennyc2281]

Should we still go for montblanc explorer when we have cdnim which is more stronger and cheaper?

[@christopherdsuza7531]

Would you still recommend Moustache now with The Tux available? Which scent profile do you prefer and smells higher quality. I know people say The Tux smells closer to Tuxedo but do you think it smells better/higher quality then moustache not taking that into consideration. Also which lasts longer between the two clones? With all these clones it becomes difficult to differentiate which is the superior fragrance clone. Like some people only rate it on the criteria of closeness rather then on the fragrance itself because it is a clone rather then overall. For instance Khamra which is not as close to angel share as kismet angel but I still think its the better scent quality wise (my personal opinion anyways). Is this the case with moustache or just get The Tux now if I had to have one?

[@hryrx489]

Seems like Mustache is paying out all the youtubers now

[@Principemostprincipe]

IMO if you have YSL Y do not get Prada Carbon, its redundant. Also Rochas Moustache EDP lacks performans unfortunately

[@condrykgakishi6139]

Tried Savuage Elixir at the airport the one time, that Scent is real beast mode, one spray and I got heavy whiffs of it... it's a real beast mode frag now that's my type of scent, BEASTE MODE.... 🇿🇦

[@detsportsfan18]

I'd pass on just about every one of these fragrances. Rochas Moustache EDP is collecting dust in my collection, due to being my one & only blind buy I've done, and did not like it at all. Way too heavy on the pink pepper, not enjoyable.

Tom Ford Grey Vetiver is introductory vetiver. If you want to try vetiver, try this. Should this not be to your liking, vetiver may not be for you.

I just can’t get down with Moustache EDP. It was one of the first i started my collection with and it’s my least favorite purchase almost 50 bottles later, but I have not parted ways with my 4.2oz bottle yet in hopes it may grow on me. But it’s made me not even want Tuxedo

[@plowerrr3]

I agree with you. I don’t understand the hype.

[@Memfys]

It's not bad, I quite like it. However, the lack of performance really puts me off so I hardly ever reach for it. It definitely didn't live up to the hype for me.

Surprised to see the negative comments about Moustache EDP. I blind bought it and I really love it. And it seems to smell better every time too. A bit spicy, warm, ambery, classy and a hint of sweetness. Smells like a guy in his mid twenties who is still youthful but has moved past his days of parties and lack of responsibility, and is becoming a true gentleman.

There's a problem with your sound. Too much bass. The overall is not well balanced. If you're trying to improve the bass of your videos and you are working on a DAW, it is better using a multi-band compressor than using an EQ. Just guessing what is the problem though.

Anybody smelled any of this guy's frags? Like the bottle style. But dayum, why he got to do us like that? He basically double charged the price tag on his scents. Like, for his astronomical prices, they better be great. And yeah, I have paid more than his cost for several bottles in my collection. But, they are either high end designer, or established niche companies with some real hype. Was dissapointed to see his costs. And, don't tell me he had to charge that due to how expensive it is to get his frags off the ground. Ain't no way it cost him more than 50 bucks a bottle to make that shii..
