I like Hollister Wave 2 so much I bought a back up bottle because I am going through it so fast. Some of my really cheap favs you didn’t mention are Cuba Gold $8, Penguin Premium $13, and Playboy London $8, good vid Ross.
In Germany weve got a brilliant Sauvage Clone called "Ulric de Varens - Star" for 3.95 Euro 60ml. You can get in every drugstore It smells fantastic, a little fresher but otherwise 100% identical. Cheaper would be criminal :D
One of the hardest Liz claiborn curves to find and is my favorite out of all of them is curve soul. I've been holding onto that bottle and spring sparingly for a couple of years, and it still smells amazing. It's definitely a nighttime going out perfume.
Ross, once again, excellent vid idea... Showing us you don't have to spend a lot of cash to smell good. The Hollister brand I love. My personal cheapy favorite in my collection is ASPEN by Coty. I wear it a lot out of the shower.
First... nice hat man.. I lived in Seattle for a few years growing up and was a huge Mariners fan.. still am to an extent. Great advice here in this video.
Wore Curve for years and still love it. Unfortunately it doesn't smell the same at all anymore. If you have an itch to wear Curve again, try Scentual Obsessions clone of it. It smells very close to the old formulation! Peace🌏
Lol I got several of those. Always enjoyed the curve and Lucky. Another couple good cheapie, Tim McGraw southern blend and Mambo. Great list! Thanks Ross
Another great video! Love hearing about all these good cheapies. Some cheapies that I own are actually some of my fave fragrances in my collection. Case in point...Bogart Pour Homme, and pretty much any Cremo fragrance. Be well, Ross!
Loved Curve back in the nineties. Awesome performance back then and a compliment magnet. It’s not made by Liz C. anymore. For years now made by Elizabeth Arden. Performance not so good anymore. But the smell is one of the best. If Curve had beastmode performance would be one of the bestselling of all time
I purchased blaze a few months back after the first video I ever watched from you. Also have a bottle of lucky you! Haven’t had curve since high school but I definitely need to purchase a bottle soon haha
Have you ever heard of Lomani Victoire Intense? It smells exactly like, if not better than, Paco Rabanne’s Invictus. It is a very close clone and lasts a good 6-7 hours on my skin. I used three sprays and thought it was WAY too strong. It’s super concentrated and has wonderful performance. The best part... I paid $12.99 for a 100mL bottle at TJ Maxx. Common Scents did a video on this one. You guys should definitely pick up this one if you see it.
I have Noir Rose by Tru Beauty and Nature. Found it in TJ Maxx for $13 too. It smells 95% close to like Mancera Roses Vanille. I saw the Amber Wood for $8 but I didn't like the scent of it.
Great video Ross. Not everyone can afford niche or designer fragrances. I have Curve and Lucky You and love how they smell. An old girlfriend of mine was crazy over Lucky You! 😋
I bought Fire and Tonic sport from Tru Fragrance at either tj MAXX or Marshall. It’s my absolute favorite cologne. It’s 12.99 and I’ve bought at least 4 bottles that I have given as gifts. I have to find them on EBay now for 3x the price. I have yet to see anyone online review it.
Man... I just bought spicebomb at TJ Maxx for $69.99, and it smells just soooo dang good, but Blaze smells really, really close that I can hardly tell the difference... thank you, Ross!! I think I'm going to buy more Blaze. If it wasn't for you, then I wouldn't have known such a thing existed.
i need to start collecting perfumes. 1 citrus ? 1 leather ? 1 irish ? 1 oud ? 1 sweet ? 1 abergris ? and others 1 OF EACH FOR ME TO KNOW WHAT IT REALLY SMELLS LIKE. THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH
GREAT LIST!! We need more of these! By the way, you're bang on about Blaze and Curve! I have big bottles of both and I love em! One last thing, if ya like Curve, ya GOTTA grab Bora Bora by Liz Claiborne! It's another über cheapie around the same price and scent profile as Curve but it's got a Kiwi note that is fantastic! Might just have to pick up that Dorall juice too! Thanks for the heads-up bro!
I tried it with a Abercrombie First Instinct flanker , First Instinct Together ! It great to throw at squirrels but i wouldn’t recommend wearing it ! Maybe the Hollister will be aight ! I had Lucky You in High school ! Now My lil pony aka Beverly Hills polo club ? I can’t
Just want to say I really like your reviews and channel. Always detailed reviews. How is performance on Bentley Azure? Heard it’s really nice for summer
I am looking for a cheap alternative of bvlgari aqva. It should have salty aquatic notes such as seaweed rather than notes like fresh fruit. I would apreciate if you could recommend a decent alternative.
Playboy Hollywood I owned but dont anymore. Playboy New York, London and VIP are better IMHO. Hollywood is inferior to Sean John Sean John and Bath and Body Works Noir. I own Curve as well but Curve Crush is better. As for a Sauvage clone, I get decent play out of Belcam's Primative Man. Not as super metallic as Sauvage.
Curve was my jam way way back in the day 😂 still a great one. Lucky You is a fantastic perfume especially when you layer it with John Varvatos Artisan Pure . Keep up the great work and as always stay clean my brotha.
