[@nathanielwhitaker5330]

I have learned so much from watching your videos. I used to think find something you like and wear it all of the time. It never dawned on me that there were different scents for different seasons or that there is so much that goes into fragrances. I have been binge watching all of your videos. They are great and you do a great job of teaching and explaining. I appreciate what you do. Keep it up!

[@jeromehawkins656]

Easily one the best summer scent lists I’ve seen, and I’m on this ish every day! One the most honest, reliable and knowledgeable reviewers in the game. Thanks for doing what you do Ash!!! You got my collection goin HAM!!

[@starmorpheus]

@DaMarcus Lacy Ash single-handedly filled my collection with his recommendations.

[@joshuadoty3275]

Gotta tell ya... Your taste is the closest to mine of all the other reviewers. Really appreciate all the hard work you put in to helping others. Thank You!!!!!

Another great list Ashton. Thank you sir!

Needed this cuz I'm a relative newbie and here in the Philippines it's either always summer or always rainy 😂

Nautica Voyage.

[@genebattung3156]

Newbie here from ph as well bro, you gotta try mont blanc's legend spirit and individuel grabe super refreshing bro! Some also suggest the nautica voyage.

Wells it's dry season or wet season.

[@dimitrijlazarov4202]

Mont Blanc Starwalker for you at the Philippines!!!

I have over 100 fall and winter scents and only like 10 warm weather scents. Great list. I needed it.

[@0rokuSaki]

Same situation for me.

[@teodorminkov7104]

Another great video! Can't wait to try the Dolce and Gabbana one when it comes over in the country I live in!

[@BrendaR4a]

The way you describe the grapefruit in light blue reminds me of the grapefruit in my Chanel Chance eau tendre. Never thought I’d like grapefruit in fragrance but whaddya know? I do!

[@STAMPEDFRESH]

Light blue forever opening can come off like body odor if you put your nose close to the skin. But in the air it's amazing. And the dry down When the grapefruit note gets sweeter is INCREDIBLE. Amazing fragrance by D&G

[@JaysOnAnoterPlanet]

Bro ive noticed that

[@xaviergutierrez4382]

I'm in love with that Polo deep blue parfum, on my skin it is amazing 👏

[@TYLGOR93]

Great video man! I work in designer/luxury fragrances was pleasantly surprised to see Narciso Bleu Noir EDT Extreme make ur list, it really is overlooked. Im from South Africa we're getting D&G LB Forever next nonth and we're heading into Winter, but I bet you come father's day itll sell out like hotcakes.

[@ootakucheiroso5058]

Thanks man, eventhough i'm in South Hemiphere that's nice, using your Autumn recomendations 'cause it's not so cold yet, nice one, i'll e looking for this soon

[@MetricMod]

Great video as usual. I love Light Blue Forever. I do something pretty off meta with my Profundo as well. At night, I do a light spray of La Nuit De L’Homme (EDP only), let it dry and then do a regular spray of Profundo. The two DNA’s work really well together, but this only works in low heat evenings. It’s also an expensive night hack, but it’s interesting and if anyone here owns both, (I know you do Ash😂🤣) I suggest giving it a try. Thanks for the video, Ash.👊🏽

[@spursdynasty7378]

Great idea, definitely will try !

[@joseromo378]

The ones I’ve been using and abusing are acqua di gio profondo and dolce & Gabbana light blue Eau intense

[@hamdicherifmohammed5893]

U are the best fragrance reviewer far away. Enjoying watching ur videos.

[@Gbody_Klown]

I’ve been wearing light blue eau intense and I’ve gotten lots of compliments even from women under their breath I’ll definitely pick up forever

[@He-is-Center]

Acqua Di Gio Profondo is so fresh and harmonious

[@barygol]

A top10. Innovative stuff you create. Congrats

[@ZA-co9vj]

Great video Ash. Still the best in the business brother!

[@jingledubz3989]

Great viddy Ash! Great list too. Went out to a brewery with the fan and actually wore JV Artisan Pure...love that one. As for Light Blue Forever? Gotta get my freakin nose on that. Be well! 👍

It's over 70 here and I'm about to put on profondo .. great summer scent

The video I’ve been looking for, for a while

[@irfanhilmi1896]

Hi!! Maybe a note for future vids but I think we’d appreciate having time stamps. Like introduction to Honourable Mentions to the main topics. Thanks!!

[@greggraham9785]

Hello Ash, how are you? Great job on the list and video. Salvatore Ferragamo Acqua Essenziale Blu 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Chrome Aqua 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾!! I have been wanting to get my hands on Dolce and Gabbana light blue forever. Stay safe brother!

[@jimmythehand6491]

Had a chuckle with the comment about Southern Hemisphere winters. Though wheee I live in Australia we don’t really get winters so this video still works for me 😅

[@mrbutchie28]

Polo deep blue parfum isn't my favorite but I get tons of compliments when I wear it.

[@jello022170]

Appreciate the vlog, Take care from Montréal, Québec 😀

[@wisam5053]

The light blue intense bottle is a frozen frosted light blue glass with beautiful roundess and it feels so nice, perfect looking for the beach or summer And now this light blue forever flanker is also a gorgeous bottle design - cant wait to get my nose on it (the juice not the bottle)

[@petterdrake72]

I love Lacoste Yellow & my nephew loves it too.

[@68vedat]

I own LB eau intense. But i want to try the LB forever. Which one is better smelling?

[@mmartinez9883]

L’Homme Le Parfum is fire. I’ve gotten plenty of compliments with it so far. I’d rather have a generic and mass appealing fragrance that I love and know will be received well by others than to be a snob and only want unique scents.

[@elvisii4220]

Is it really snobby to have unique scents? Lol

[@praneelsookun5531]

Do you wear fragrance for people or for yourself?

[@user-dx7yu1pm2i]

@@praneelsookun5531 it's both. You can wear a fragrance you love, but If someone or a few people tell you smell awful, I guarantee you'll stop wearing it.

[@ryanbriones4026]

Great list since its almost summer here in Sydney 🙂

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great list and I enjoyed it and I like Ysl lhomme le parfum and John Varvatos artisan pure and aqui de gio profundo and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day

[@robbielukas]

My most commented on fragrance ever was Issey Miyake original scent... But there's a sense I used to wear Aramis surface... I've kept the bottle for about 15 years hoping I can find something similar any suggestions... Just smelling the bottle is euphoric!!! I'm I'm currently wearing Vetiver by Guerlain... But I want the Aramis surface scent!!!! Help

[@makki8295]

Where I'm from it's always mostly summer Definitely keepin an eye out for some of these

[@zakariboubaha9459]

Between lb forever and lb intense, which one would win like

[@katyg3873]

The original Prada l’infusion d’homme or the replacement l’ infusion d’iris cedre is the perfect summer classy scent.

[@equalityfragrances1854]

Solid recommendations

[@krzysztofwojtanek511]

looking forward to fall 2021 review!!!!

[@jeremiahisrael8890]

Hey u have all them colognes won’t they get old and what’s the best way to store them so I can do mine

[@MDCigan]

The Ferragamo Acqua Essenziale Blu is interesting to me since both you and TLTG reviews are big on it... BUT some of the Fragrantica reviews say the performance is just abysmal like 30 min of longevity. What is the truth on performance?

[@cristianconstantin46]

Great list💯👌

[@atmontgomery93]

On the contrary, I tested Dior Homme Cologne earlier at the mall and I sprayed literally 1 small spray on my forearm and it’s actually preforming well. 6 hours later it’s still skin scent, but it was still projecting hours after I sprayed.

[@issa.abedal-rhman9279]

Should i get lightblue forever or intense??

[@christob5921]

Nice list!

[@JoshNieporte]

I'm a military guy and I sweat a lot in the summer. This video is VERY helpful.

[@bradleysmith7542]

Nice list. If I could ever find Varvatos Artisan at FragNet I’d get it, just nit paying retail for that one

[@arthurdelacruz6879]

I got mines at timax for 25 bucks

[@optiksnipegaming9720]

I need another fragrance in the same category of sauvage or Dylan blue. Any others in that category?

[@andrewmilian7856]

Would love to see a review of afternoon swim from you

[@timr1627]

I have SF Acqua Essenziale Colonia and I love it!

[@realdoomsdaybeast]

One of my favorite Lacoste fragrances is Lacoste Red, I know it's not talked about but i'm all about apple, although it's a more synthetic apple, apple anything and I'm buying, not great performance, close to the skin but imo it's just a great overall scent.

[@Daveyengland]

You must like Nautica Voyage, if you like apple?

[@realdoomsdaybeast]

@@Daveyengland I've somehow missed that one, it's so popular though the Lacoste is a bit more under the radar, it's also great for layering, for instance, Hugo Boss Intense, if you layer it with the Red, it will subdue the cinnamon slightly, the Red calms it down and they mix really well.Is the apple a strong note in the Voyage?

[@katyg3873]

Lacoste red is a perfect under the radar every day scent.

[@amosw766]

That southern hemisphere shoutout was enough to snag my subscription haha

[@snortchgortch4253]

Mugler Cologne, Light Blue, Light Blue Eau Intense, Artisan Pure, Kenneth Cole Blue, Starwalker, Perry Ellis Red, Versace Pour Homme for starters

[@zackquas2383]

Can you do a versatile/signature scent list

[@Snaxx26]

Is light blue forever better than light blue intense for men as summer fragrance?

[@YouGetSoAlone]

Light Blue Forever will be a blind buy. How soon should expect that on discounters?

[@samkocat7380]

Great list

[@vazquez7871]

I like rocking Dior homme cologne in the winter🍋🏂❄️🥶

[@milsonroymacaulay4608]

Thanks Ash for these interesting lists. However, I live in tropical West Africa where the weather is warm virtually all year round. Does it mean I can never wear your cold weather fragrances? I'd like to try the AdG Profundo and the D&G Light Blue Forever, though.

[@blondemonk7860]

Personally I can't stand winter fragrances in hot weather, but love them in cold. You can try them but I dont think you will like winter fragrances since its probably really hot over there, I would suggest you to stick with summer fragrances

[@blondemonk7860]

Light blue intense is great for hot summer days and I didnt try lb forever but that one is probably great too for really hot weather because they say it smells sour which makes it more refreshing compared to sweet

[@milsonroymacaulay4608]

@@blondemonk7860 Thanks BlondeMonk.

[@A7mad.]

the best summer fragrance for me is nishane colognese , pure ingredients and long lasting

[@TheArchetypeGamer]

I wear polo deep blue I smell nothing generic about it, it's aquatic fresh and a little musky smells great on my skin. I got a sample a year ago didn't like it at first, got it in a 3 pack of blue, blue parfum and deep blue parfum. I smelled it fresh form the bottle and not a sample. The blend is my body's skin this works well and I enjoy the every note from this fragrance.

[@CesarGalanYT]

Ashton, you should give a try to Zara Vibrant Leather Cologne. It’s almost identical to Dior Homme Cologne, but it lasts a lot longer. And less than half the price.

[@CesarGalanYT]

@@peterfieldsfields532 lasts longer than Dior.

[@akemitsu]

How does layton for Marly work for summer?

[@chasepotter2376]

Personally, I don’t think the Profondo smells very much like traditional Auqua Di Gio. I’m like a wiz with guessing fragrances and I don’t think I would’ve guessed this was by Georgio Armani when I first smelled it. Edit: to be honest, I remember like a year ago I replied to a comment saying that it smelt just like Sauvage, and I completely disagreed at the time and said it smelt nothing like it. However, after wearing it down several times, I actually kind of agree. It has a Sauvage like scent to it. Just a bit softer and maybe sweeter.

[@ghoney925]

Absolutely fantastic list. My top 10 for this summer 10 - Ultra Zest (TM) 9 - L’homme (YSL) - this is always on my summer list 8 - Percival (PDM) - maybe more of a spring one but works great on me in summer too 7 - Acqua Di Gio Profumo (GA) 6 - Bleu De Chanel EDP 5 - Light Blue Forever (D&G) 4 - Eau De Soleil Blanc (TF) - this one reminds me of the beach so much 3 - Hacivat (Nishane) 2 - Green Irish Tweed (always) 1 - Allure Homme Edition Blanche (Chanel).

Profundo and polo deep blue smell very similar to me

[@gautamsrawat1986]

Does dolce gabbna light blue forever has same fish smelling dry down like light blue eau intense??

[@ManettiAngelo]

very nice list - though at first, you did not like D&G Forever so much.... fascinating change.

[@infinitewriter8135]

ACQUA essenzialel Blu is a beast mode beauty of a fragrance, I get mega complements while staying fresh all day, I just bought an oldie which is cool water and it sets my skin on fire with freshness these days.💯

[@samellison5063]

It's interesting: I feel like you've been coming around on some stuff lately. You mentioned that Green Wood was "just ok" in the past. Same with L'Homme Le Parfum (which you mentioned). It's been in other videos, too. Like you said: Tastes change. Go figure.

Profondo smells like Voyage... side by side one on each wrist all day long I slightly prefer Nautica Voyage.

What is the durability of D&G Light Blue Forever? I want to cop one but I really don't know if it can last me half a day atleast. I got myself the Mont Blanc Explorer Ultra Blue (I didn't watch any reviews, big L) and it's durability is kinda bad imo.

Mercedes Benz Cologne used to be an excellent alternative to DHC or Jimmy Choo Man Ice, so hard to find now.

[@Guinea54]

I don't know man, maybe it's my nose but I just got a sample of profondo.. I think its great i really like it, but I don't get that much of the original ADG dna.. I feel like it's covered up by the sweetness and almost bleu de chanel character.. To my nose Profondo is Armani's modern blue fragrance. It has a little sweetness like Dylan blue, and also reminds me of bleu de chanel without the vetiver or incense. I would say profumo has more of the original ADG dna

[@LG-su6iq]

CHECK your bottle of D&G forever!!!...I got mine from Macy's and the bottle was leaking from the atomizer. Tried to exchange it for a new bottle and the other bottle they gave me had the same issue so I ended up returning the bottle completely.

[@ResplendentRaider]

My wife is a musk lover so i got her one of the Narsico’s fragrances. So how versatile is the one you mentioned?

I have it and it has the same versatility level as Bleu de Chanel EDT. It's very similar in all aspects.
