8 Trash Fragrances 

Aramis? C'mon one of the best sentence of all time

Wow, you surprised me with Aramis. I personally like it because it's a powerhouse scent.

Since you are being a lover & collector of vintage perfumes, It's ridiculus that you could comment the Origina Aramis Classic smell is 'old' . The Aramis lovers, only blame it on the weak reformuation. But they didnt hate this great scent till 2016. This scent opened the new path in the perfumery industry in golden days. Up to 2016, this was made by using the Original, majestic old formula and sold at the unbelievable low price !!! Really those are GOLDEN DAYS!!!

Dude you are absolutely NUTS! ARAMIS is the KING of men's fragrances! WOMEN absolutely love it! What is wrong with you man! ARAMIS is absolute 👑 KING!

I disagree about Sex Appeal. Its a bit basic but it grew in me and i got an unprompted complement from a damn fine woman. Aqua quorum however reminds me of the scent they use in cat litter.

You had a blast with this and I enjoyed watching the usually composed, professional K. This was fun. You’ve also encouraged me to do what I should’ve done last year; get rid of Vermeil. It’s horrible!!! Thanks, K!

Never had a bottle of Salvador Dali but more than a few people have said it has vibes of Kouros.

Great video, man! It's so rare to hear honest disgust for frags. Well done.

Salvador Dali pour homme ? Consider my feathers ruffled. 😂

This was very funny and entertaining. I love your reactions. Please do another one!!!

Jovan Sex appeal is actually my most complimented fragrance ever 😂 The story is this: My bottle was 5 yrs old and I kept it on my car for that long, we have very extreme weather conditions here in Chicago from frozen winters to super hot summers, one day before walking in to the supermarket where I worked I found the bottle and sprayed it a few times then walked in, the cashiers and manager went crazy, even customers were asking what I was wearing, I emptied the bottle in about 2 months and replaced it with a new fresh one but things were never the same, I guess the secret it to let it go bad in extreme weather conditions so the notes will explode in delicious aromas.

I’m so glad you made this video. About half of those fragrances were on my watchlist 💀 now I can remove them without any doubt

Interesting video Kelan. I was thinking of buying Quoram Aqua not now lol 😂. I do still dig Aramis though. Good fun video that made me smile.

Thanks for keeping it real tough on sells but hey might get a good deal… either way funny video to see honest approach to cologne experiences.. Thanks for the laughs

Lol. Shots fired, no prisoners taken. You had fun making this one, didn’t you? It shows. One of your best for sure.

That bottle of Dali pour homme reminds me of Little shop of horrors. 😂

Love this video Kelan! So nice to see a reviewer give their honest opinion on frags. Pretty much every other reviewer out there never says a bad thing about the frags they are reviewing. It makes me seriously question their reviews. Come on, they can't possibly like EVERY frag they try. What a breath of fresh air! Well done!!

I can definitely hear what you say about modern day Aramis, but it’s still a great fragrance. Aramis is by far one of men’s fragrance’s pillars! It’s my daily scent. I am going to reach out to you to see if you are interested in trying some vintage Aramis that I own. This will be my new side quest.

Omg I love it when you get all riled up 😂 I 100% in sync with your taste levels . you have never failed me .

Almost made me want a bottle of Dali just because it is so weird that it exists

I loved this video, your intensely felt sentiments were very amusing. I love everything about Dali btw., vive la differance! One of Thierry Wasser's first compositions, his best IMHO, everything else he did was a bit safe, Dali is a lot of things but safe is not one of them. Its one of the most polarising leather fragrances every made, right up there with Bandit, but unlike Bandit the "recoil" is internal, which means that it is aggressive in a cogent way, unlike Bandit which is just a straight up olifactory mugging. I have both and although I love and respect Bandit for its audacity and vigour I adore Dali for its depth and mystery, like an anonymous slap from a warm catcher's mitt, you're not wrong.

can't believe you hate an Aramis/ its one of my favorite

Your descriptions of these fragrances cracked me up! 😂😂

Ohhhh you hit me in the Jugular 😮 I love Aramis ! I have 5 bottles! But hey, you are right. It’s very very dry. I rarely wear it only because I can only do so, primarily in the winter. I live in Texas, so we only have about a 1 month winter. But I love this stuff. Reminds me of the past and my parents and grand parents.

Just proof that every nose is different ! I do like Aramis and Grey Flannel quite a bit, Sex Appeal isn't bad, but it's not great either. I like the opening of Aqua Quorum, but the dry-down is pretty meh.

Great video man, had me cracking up 😂 because its all true!

what to say ..........ARAMIS is one of my favourites and along with QUORUM (this is my most beloved ever fragrance); both fragrances are my most used around the year ................. well, all choices and noses are different ............ what I may love, somebody else will hate............ that's life.

Amusing video. Your question as to whether the Jovan was still around caused me to look, not that I'm interested. A lot of places are selling it. Shipping may cost more than the bottle.

The fragrance I absolutely loathe is Gray Flannel.

Aramis was on my Try List. I almost Blind Bought it one Time. I wanted to smell it because it's been out for so long.

Nice video, Only the brave by Diesel is the worst scent I've bought. Can't believe that three perfumers worked on it and thought it was fine.

Hello scents of south Jersey could you do a video on the longest lasting/projecting fragrances ?

How come colt didn't make the list! Lol btw Aramis is great! Lol

Great video! Yeah, there are a lot of clunkers out there in the men's fragrance market. I have Vermeil, and yes, it sits there till I forget what it smells like, the I spray a few spritzes and yup, its so strong it almost smells like musty syrup. Jovan I always thought was a joke (anything that list itself as "sexy" is trying too hard), so I never bought it. Never bought the clone one but I have the one that smells like Rive Gauche (not bad). As far as "Faconnable" goes, an interesting story, I worked on their NYC "headquarters" in Rockefeller Center, it was the smallest space I've ever seen for an "international" luxury branded company (and this is before "Wework" came up with dirt cheap and affordable tiny shared offices so anyone could have a NYC address on their letterhead). So yes there is a pretentiousness with the popcorn tin and I wanted to like the cologne (it's not horrible) but it doesn't quite pass the finish line. The original Cerruti I love so I will trust you on this one. The Quorum one looks janky (the box and bottle) the OG is fine. Aramis, however, I sort of disagree with you on. To be fair, it's probably a bit out of fashion, but it is in the same vein as Tabac (Tabac being a little less aggressive). Aramis is a cologne for the winter or fall and to be sprayed sparingly (not something to be bathed in like Brut). It is made well and is Iconic (in my opinion) just really (nowadays) not a go to, dumb reach scent. Yes, definitely "old man" scent, ironically, most of the flankers are good. The Dali scent, I agree the design is foppish as all hell, just ridiculous. The smell doesn't bother me as much but it is very dark...Again, thank you for the video, I'm sure this will help people not to blind buy these things online....

I was surprised by Aqua Quorum making this list. Smells just like Polo Sport. I had a tester bottle and my friend asked to have it, he really liked it. I'll take yours off your hands 😀

Ok, I do like the honest review....but Aramis, honestly, I've never had anything but compliments when I wear it. To each their own but Aramis is a banger of a fragrance for me.

I have to disagree with you on facconable. I think it’s a phenomenal fragrance but again everyone has their own taste. Far as aramis goes I can understand that cause it’s a love hate fragrance .

If you hate the current Aramis you would have really hated it when it was an all day beast. It’s a shadow of the Aramis I wore in the mid to late 70s. It lasts about 30 minutes on my skin before totally dissipating now. It’s total trash and I barely spray it any longer.

Bvlgari Aqua Marine is the worst for me 🌊 Amara is my favourite cologne of all time, so I figured Marine would be a brighter ginger/grapefruit version of it. All the reviews said it was the best Aqua flanker. Everything sounded so perfect. It just smells like an “ocean breeze” super-synthetic bath and bodywork’s candle. The first time I bought it I returned it because I thought it was a fake lol.

Your videos are always good and entertaining. You crushed me with the Aramis. That is my favorite but everyone is entitled to an opinion. Also thanks to your page I have discovered some good scents and one of them Acqua Di Parma. Keep the reviews coming.

Thanks for the reviews. I agree about Aramis. I never cared for it, and it’s not aging well. Something that is even older, that is classic to old-fashioned, is Guerlain’s Habit Rouge. Lastly, just did a test of Poivre Samarcande by Hermes. Remarkable at all stages, and is beautifully crafted. Unfortunately, $340 bucks a pop.

I just recently got your channel. Enjoy all your classic suggestions. Even the ones to avoid

Dali himself has designed the bottle. This is one of my favourite fragrances. It smells so natural, like a bundle of herbs from a meadow.

Aramis is fabulous!! Maybe you have a bad bottle?? Idk.

I love it when a content creator pulls no punches. Sadly, it doesn't happen that often nowadays. Good fun, even though you demolished a couple of fragrances I really like 😂

Haven't been to your channel in a while (or at least not commented). Good video 😂

Aramis is my "go to church" scent. Great for formal occasions.

Dats right cawksacka go back to New Jersey, Aramis is a classic, strong and masculine, not like da Parade float, English Leather.

Forever more I shall pronounce Faconnable in the southern style as it really made me laugh (even though I am in the UK)...I do have a miniature of it which I don't think I have ever smelt, so you have probably done me a favour there, Kelan! I do like Aqua Quorum, so that's a contentious one, bit the Dali one is really bad, I agree! I got a half full bottle as part of a job lot a little while ago and thought that it looked interesting, until I smelt it and for the first time ever, I literally binned a fragrance! In the trash it went without even a spray, it was so vomit-inducing!

This was an amazing video😂❤

Black fragrances are tough for me, i wonder what goes into them for them to get that designation, i seem to akways being giving them a hard pass, no matter the brand.

I only had experience with the Aramis. Bought it because everyone said it was a classic. I got a cinnamon with like a wet log, and dry spices vibe. Was a pretty lame dive for me too. And I'm one who really appreciates the classics very much. Thanks for the video Kelan.👍

I got complements wearing facconnable.. for $20 it's underrated....

lmao that Salvador Dali at the end caught me completely off guard. Thought it's gonna be at least Zino or Grey Flannel 🤣 (which I love both btw) also Aramis smells so old school even the current batches are 60 years old 😂

I think aramis is a great classic men scent, so I was suprised you didnt like it. In my opinion its very nice, very wearable fragrance considering that it is from the 70s.

I get more compliments on "Sex Appeal" than any other fragrance! My fave!

Not Dali! That's one of my fav classics lmao. Agree about Aramis though, was very underwhelmed by it. I don't get the vintage hype around that one

Gotta disagree on Aramis bro. That shit is the OG. Very first fragrance I ever owned. Got it as a stocking stuffer back in 83 and the ladies loved it. Aramis is the shit!

What I like about this channel is the fact I look forward to seeing a video at least once a week. I've been subbed to other fragrance review channels and my homepage gets spammed with 1 or 2 videos everyday. Some reviewers have an addiction and it really annoys me. I end up unsubbing eventually.

I saw that Aramis, and im like "nOoOoOoO!" lmao

As there was no lapidus or kouros in the list, you are my friend 😅😂

I agree on Aramis,it's VERY outdated even for us who are into retro perfumes,but Zino is one of the best ever!

I was expecting Giorgio Beverly Hills Red For Men to make this list! For me, Versace Blue Jeans sucks. I tried several times to wear it out and learn to like it, but I can't. Smells like laundry detergent to me.

"im sure very rare" lmfao. great vid

Some other ones I hate are: Encre Noir and Dolce and Gabbana K. CRAP

Man… Glad I didn’t buy the Facconable either.. Haha

Interisting, every men have their own point of views. I addore some of them. But agree some. Very good review. Other should share too.. Thanks

I've spent this Christmas feeling as rough as dog's toothbrush. This video appeared in my feed and had me laughing out loud. You certainly didn''t hold back. I find it interesting that for the scents I didn't know, the reviews on Fragrantica are either hugely in favour, or hugely split. No real outright hatred of the scents. The big surprise for me was that Grey Flannel wasn't in there. I really expected it to feature high up given your review. For me, I agree with Aramis, but probably the worst scent is Jean-Paul Gaultier Le Male. The smell of it makes my stomach roll over. It's like rotting flowers and BO. Yet people love it. I can't bear to be near someone wearing it. Thanks for the laugh.

Jovan Sex Appeal was pretty much da shit for most Dudes when I was in high school cause it was cheap & easy to get. My Aunt was involved with Avon ... So I got Avon mens stuff which some were Good. Tried the OG Aramis in the 80's ... I found it too sweet for me back then ... but not like the bubble gum candy sweetness like some of the stuff today ... just old-school sweet. The only one you listed that I liked was Vermile. Yeah its Strong hardcore type of sent ... but it worked with my chemistry. I still wear it when I'm out having cigars at the cigar shops.

:) Love the review. I haven't tried all of these, I own Sex Appeal only because I remember it as a kid and its just funny. I tried Faconnable, saying it smells like bug spray in correct. In fact that might be an insult to bug spray....absolutely the WORST fragrance I have tried.

I got one called Reporter,it was just like Salvador Dali le Soleil and Lacrosse,all three are kind of boring to me

I would put Versace Blue jeans on the list as well! It’s a mess of chemicals that smells horrible, like a bathroom sanitizer.

🥺🥺🥺🥺you pissed on aramis🥺🥺🥺 it’s one of my favorite fall fragrances, but yeah i understand what you say cause it’s strong, I actually wouldn’t try an original cause the re formulation is strong enough🙈🙈🙈

Man... you talking bad about Dali, it was too looollll

Damn I thought grey flannel was gonna be #1

Love Dali and Aramis. And there are far worse out there than Facconable but agree on all the rest.

so, im also not a big fan of aramis lol....i dont hate it, but im not big on grassy stuff and i mainly get grass from aramis. i def dont like it for myself wear wise, and i have to admit i dont really get the hype. one of the few times where i dont think oakmoss or any other "banned" ingredients in the vintage really do anything to help. the vintage is smoother, you can see a difference but i just dont like smelling like grass. P.s. i draw a big distinction between grass and vetiver, which as far as the latter i usually enjoy. but yeah, just grass in aramis to me. not a fan of the price, but clive christian x to me was an attempt to "fix" aramis. hey man btw i just grabbed a bottle of chypre siam and a bottle of targhee forest (newest fragrance released) from rogue perfumery...you should DEFINETELY check them out, although i feel like you may have mentioned chypre siam in the past. that one is super unique and old school, and the targhee forest is what you imagine bois du portugal will smell like before you get it these days and feel ripped off lol.

Didn't Uncle Philly wear Aramis

The Raffi Diran Bassclef channel is a great advocate for Faconnable by Faconnable… I even got a sample on his recommendation!

Bitch boy 🤣 The Puig quip had me in stitches, but the fat gym teacher reference was a spit take. 😂 Melted gum and piss! 🤣🤣omfg I love these kinds of vids. Haven't seen anything this entertaining in a long time. Thank you Kelan!!

Cerruti Black is Scentland's ultimate Christmas scent too ...oh man 😂

You're so right about Aramis. I have a bottle and there is so much I have to get past to wear it. i even went to check it out in the shops after I scored a bottle to see if what I had was perhaps off. But no, it really does just smell like a mouldy corpse in the corner of a forgotten florist's. Incredible how popular this was, but then again it was in an era of no deoderant and chain smoking so I guess if those were wahat made up the prevailing base note then this would merge well with that and introduce something halfway pleasant to the mix. We forget that fragrance was up until very recently very much an exercise in masking stench. And the best way to do that is to MERGE with it, hence the civet and other stinks in some of the best perfumes. Dali for women is a classic example of this, seriously pissy, and lets me honest, patchouli aint pretty. I find nothing worse than toilet sprays which are things like strawberries and cream. And then SH*T. Yikes. The same with perfume, laying something super pretty on top of a nylon shirt at four o clock on a summer afternoon is gag worthy.

This was hilarious 😂 I wish more frag reviewers would do "cr4p on" vids like this. It would show that they're not grifters. -and most are definitely grifters.

Vermeil is my first old school/mature fragrance, people use to hate when I put it on, it was a little off putting but I loved it made me feel mature. I don’t have a taste for it anymore though after trying other fragrances in the same category

Loved it!

Love the honesty. Shouldn’t be afraid to have your own opinion. Great video, man. Boss Number One would be on this list for me. Current offering. Can’t speak about vintage bottles. I bought a bottle almost a year ago and have worn it twice and just can’t get into it. Thought I’d like it. Nope. Just smells like piss to me.

You labeled your video wrong. It should have been 'How to not selling anything on my Mercari page' 😅 But seriously, this shit is hilarious, I feel sorry for anyone who got on your bad side in HS - savage!

I would add all the Open flankers and anything "black"

Salvador Dali bad ? Oh c' mon . It' s a great fragrance

You may not like them, but say TRASH .... for iconic fragrances

English Leather Black is so bad it didn’t even make this list

I couldn't agree with you more about acua Quorum it's absolutely disgusting 🤢 I can't forgive myself for buying it, that's how bad it is.

The worst is Polo Green! I do like Aramis. Great reviews!

You aren't a fan of the entire mugler a*men line? Or just the original?

I would add Marbert Gentleman to the unholy trinity with Zino and Dali PH xd, Gentleman is a glass of powdery piss with some kind of berries for decoration

Just smelled Dali yesterday for the first time. long story short. I picked up Monsieur Musk instead lol. Your inside a baseball glove comment is pretty accurate!!! An acquired taste for sure. LOL. Great video!!

Savage! ⚔️ For me, it’s Acqua di Gio and all its flankers. Headache inducing citrus roach spray.

hilarious, keep m coming

Man just insulted Mugler. Shots fired.

Eyyyy, pannetone is no tinned popcorn😂
