Bentley for Men Intense and Encre Noire were two of my firsts perfumes in my collection. I totally fell in love with the smell and I am still sniffing them and thinking how great they are😁
KEEPING the Boxes Recommended: I've learned the boxes come in handy when traveling, for gifting should you decide to give to a friend or relative who'd be happy to have even half a bottle. More pleasing to have original box which provides lots of details as well. Boxes are ideal for packing when or if you move your household and quite handy for storage. Not to mention the boxes (overall) are well made and look Great
It has a nice dark coffee and musk scent to me. And then the dry down still has that coffee smell with some sweeter notes. It also projects really well in the cold. I definitely would recommend if your into those types of scents.
12:00 Excellemt tip for Encre Noir! DO NOT blind buy it, moreover as a newb!!! My experience exactly. Got a blind buy and can say, it's VERY special smell for VERY rare occasions, aka almost never use. And I think it's smells great, but I hated it at start.
Only have a small collection and usually buy old school fragrances ... but I purchased Encre Noire Lalique for the Darkness factor. Wow ... Love it ... and love the price too. I'm over 50 and sampled the modern scents ... but most are just too sweet for me.
I agree with the line up. Turathi, rochas and cartier pasha are amazing. Just got my nebula today,smells great.Encre and bentley are great blind buys,both masterpieces.
Hey Ash, I agree with you that it would be awesome if these clone houses would start a line that clones discontinued fragrances. I know that there is a few out there that do just that. Although I know there are not many, I would be an awesome video if you could do a list of the ones that are out there. Thanks, Tre
Kilian's Straight To Heaven smells like money to me, after the dry down it smells like a stack of new bills to me, maybe it's because it costs a stack of bills 🤷😂

I’m all about the clone fragrances! Im just a regular guy from Delaware with a limited budget but I like that I can try an abundance of different scents for the price of maybe one fragrance… then if I really like something maybe I’ll pay homage and buy the OG
My choices….others too expensive. Afnan Turathi Blue, a clone of what…? FW Star Men Nebula clone of Mugler Pure Malt Zadig&Voltare This Is Him, a clone of anything Jean Lowe Immortal, a clone of Louis Vuitton L’Imensity FW Suits clone Dior Tuxedo Lalique Encre Noir …get the au extreme version Danny T
My experience with Encre Noir is that i will never buy anything ever again from the house. It smells like someone burnt an orange peal added hair spray bug spray and alcohol and put it into the bottle. JUST NASTY STUFF
The thing that I always resented about Jeremy Fragrance when it comes to clones and less expensive fragrances. He always says,you smell like a million bucks, but you won't feel like a million bucks, because you're not wearing the OG. Very snobbish mentality.
Hi Ash. Grandeur Elite Perfume House has a clone of LV Imagination called Soaked Sun Exclusif. Have you heard of this clone? I believe you will have a lot to say on first sniff. I think you should check it out. Thank you for the insight on all these fragrances.
I get compliments regularly when I wear turathi blue. I find it funny bc it’s one of the cheapest fragrances I own. Alpine sport by Maison Alhambra, same thing.
Dior Homme SPORT is phenomenal. I have Dior Homme edp, Dior Home Cologne (the super fresh one with White cap) also. By far SPORT is the most Awesome scent. Elegant and nicely fresh and long lasting.
That was a tamer reaction than my first response to Encre Noire , then again I did 6 sprays in a closed car, I now love it , and Bentley Intense, just bought my second bottle as my wife wears it quite a bit.
I'm going to have to try Eros Flame and CDNI PPP during the colder months, they're great during summer so I'll have to see how well they perform in cooler weather.
Encre Noir is THE most overhyped frag ever imho. I couldn't believe how horrible it was when I sampled it in a store. Really dark, inky vetiver and iso e super. Monotonous, cold grimness. Mercifully weak in projection. PLEASE sample before buying even a cheap bottle.
Encre noir is such a weird scent, i think the best way i can describe it, is cowboy. Its got a very peppery leathert scent too it, might even kinda smell like beef stew if you keep smelling it, not sure why.
All of these are bangers. Never heard of that Mugler clone, had Turathi Blue but wasn’t quite worth keeping for me, so now a friend is enjoying it. The rest tho…amazing stuff!
Regarding to your new mic: try the rode magnet and also das cap so you dont have any reflections anymore and that magnet is nice to but it on our shirt so the mic will not hang all the way down:) I use it on my channel and it works finde...but yes..your studio is awesome bro! :)
I dont know what the hype is about Mysterious Night from DG. It is literally one of the worst and most repugnant fragrances ive ever smelled. And its not like i've never smelled Rose-Oud combo before. This one is headache inducing and one of the few fragrances i've had to wash off. Lucky i only bought a decant.
Encre Noir- exactly what happened to me, this lady commented:”what’s that smell!?” I felt like I was in that ‘Anchor Man’ scene😂 Vetiver is not for everyone
Mr. Ash!! Need to see you review Camaro Homme Intense by Pendora/Paris Corner. It’s a clone of Dior Homme Intense. This is my new signature DNA, I can’t live without it now 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Encre Noir was one of the first two I bought and it got me hooked. Beautiful stuff if you love the smell of pine heartwood. Probably not going to click the same way for younger guys. Bentley Intense disgusts me.
Literally the first time im seeing someone give love to Dior Homme 2020. Everyone always praises the intense version but i think this version just smells soooo much better. The only thing bad about it is performance but the scent profile makes up for it imo.
I literally just picked up nebula yesterday at the oud store here in San Diego. Wow that is fire for sure. I’m surprised I don’t hear about it as much. Tho I do know now it’s discontinued
The majority of people ony need 4 fragrances, one for each season, any more could be considered as fragrance addiction! Dupes make economic sense and obviously people purchase more fragrances as they grow older or if some fragrances are discontinued etc. 👍
I ordered Star Man. I'm one of those few who hated the Mugler A*Men series because I couldn't stand something in the base of all of them... which I think was the patchouli when from what I could find in not in Star Man. For $25 it's a reasonable blind buy. These days I'm not buying many new frags because my collection is already big enough with niche and designers so occasionally I'll get these middle eastern clones because they are inexpensive and so far the ones you've recommended have been great.
