I’m sure it’s easy to accommodate fragrance companies so you get “free” fragrances, but thank you for your integrity in sticking to your convictions. Found some fragrances I like thanks to you, but some have been more of a challenge (e.g., Encre Noire) for me. Regardless, I know you are genuine in your reviews. Arrigato!

Dude, Ashton you hold your values and principles and I really admire that man. Keep on the great content!!!
Great video. Love the honesty and transparency. Keep being you. Hate London Spice wasn't in that set. I'm curious about that one.
Thank you, as always, for your integrity and for keeping it real. This is one of the reasons I’ve been subbed to your channel for like 6 years. 🤘
The transparency and honest reviews is the main reason this is my top choice for fragrance reviews.
Great stuff. I know spraying on skin is asking a lot, but maybe your top 2 in the future? One on each hand? Just to get a bit of a feel. Niche+ frags always seem to take an unexpected turn on me after ditching the paper. Moreso than designers anyway. Hope FdB end up sending you the bottles! 😄 Few deserve it as much as you. The workhorse. 💪
Awesome video and I really appreciate your honest takes on fragrances! Eagerly waiting for your review of PDM's Haltane. Peace!
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
Much love to Ash for the honesty
Integrity. Transparency. GOAT.
Love how you keep it 100 and be straight up to these companies 🤝 keep pushing out awesome content
Hey AsH great video yeah above all I really like your honesty that’s why I like your reviews and have a wonderful weekend peace ✌️ 🇬🇧
You da man ash! Thanks for keeping it real!
Hey Ash, great one again! Have you ever done a video covering Oud, from the sublime to the ‘er’ animalic? From the office worthy to the best worn outdoors? Etc etc.
Can we take up a collection to buy Ash an air conditioner for his fragrance room? He's always glistening in these videos!😂🤣

I think you did a great job of this review, I’m surprised that theses companies don’t like your reviews, I love oud Jaune intense but it is fem and New York 5th ave 😍
Good looking out. I like the new Ash. Finally a trustworthy big name influencer. I've been waiting years for this.
The honesty… Thats why ure 🤴🏾 lol. I owned both New York Intense and Jubi 25, I’d say the old cream capped Jubi25 > New York Intense but vs the gold magnetic Jubis with its name printed on the bottle, New York Intense is far superior (and cheaper too!) and therefore the one to go for that type of scent. My fav of FdB is Baie Rose. Discontinued but you could still get them from Jovoy I think.. its fresh, talcumy, soapy, clean and last over 6hrs on me.
What I don't like about FDB is that they can't take constructive criticism. I commented on longevity of a £495 fragrance that I spent my hard earned money on and they deleted my comment and then blocked me. What kind of rogue company is this where you can't say anything unless it's positive about their brand. It's ridiculous. Thank you for keep it 100%. I rate this reviewer so much.
My favorite is New York 5th Avenue. That rose Caramel and vanilla is major key 🔑
This is how you do it..Honestly, No CNN Fake news here. So looking forward to you really doing a fragrance review on your top 2 or 3 here if they pass the smell test for you. I took it that you really like a couple of these, Alot. Thanks Ash
Sir ash love so much the house . To put thier review here hhhhh . Thank you
I'm a woman, and my #1 pick is Parisian. Like Vert Intense too. I also find Santal Complet not enough sandalwood. Awesome honest review Ash!

Great video, thank you. My favorite is Sahraa Oud followed my Oud Blue Intense and New York Intense. I think FDB's juice changed a little from the original bottles---different face plate. Not as “intense” now.The company denies they changed anything but they all deny it. It it would interesting to hear what you think of Krigler Perfume. They are very expensive and I don’t know if they give out samples. They recently increased their already outragious prices due to inflation I guess. Excellent fragrances but not sure they are worth the price.
Ahhh I wish they would have sent you Sahraa Oud, that one I love the most.
Been testing a handful of randomly selected samples from a shop in Hollywood. I landed on New York intense. As you said it is something you want to smell over and over again . Enjoying the base as I type. But think I need to get Parisian to test. Milano was in what I selected and you are spot on about it. Some will like it but it’s mercurial.
Also, especially for this channel don't worry about video length. I'm sure I'm not the only person here that would watch 30min content from you
Thanks for the honest review. I have 8 FDB and my wife has one (Siberian Rose). Siberian Rose is one of the best tuberose scents out there (better than Carnal Flower IMHO), but it is feminine leaning, as you say. Can't get enough of it (on her!). I love Oud Vert, Oud Bleu, Oud Noir, Oud Orange, and Santal Complet as well as Solstis and Secret Tryst. But i REALLY love Milano as well: Erba Pura and elegant suede. I did not like Parisian as much - I appreciate the quality but too mature and squeaky clean for me. Did not like Amber Intense, but did like Heritage, although Xerjoff Pikovaya Dama is better in this clean linen genre.
Hey Ash, would love to see you go in depth review on your main channel if FdB decides to send you some full size bottles 🤜👍.
I own Oud Bleu, Oud Vert, Oud Noir, and Heritage. The first three need to be tested on skin. Probably my favorite house. Stunners.
You videos keep me going. at work that is lol.😂
Parisian reminds me of Sweetie Aoud. Nice stuff.
Surprised they didn't send you Sahraa, lot of hype. But thanks for the honest review, can't wait to hear back when you test them some more, because they fetch a pretty penny, not blind buy worthy.
"Bathroom spray" made me laugh. I automatically thought of Sculpture by Nikos. I swear, Sculpture smells just like my elementary school bathroom.

My favourite house, I own 8 of theirs. But 100% agree there are also some I don't. Mine are. Orange, Vert, Rouge, Bleu, Cannabis Blue, Violet, Sahara and London.
Had to watch this one after the blacklisted video
If FdB actually keeps communications up after the bad reviews and doesn’t ghost you, that says something. I’ll say Sahraa was amazing when I tried it and might be worth $250-300. Not $900.

Was there a bad review here? No one is going to like everything from a single house, that just comes down to personal preference.
Oud blu intense is fire had a sample must grab
I greatly appreciate the transparency. I wish companies prioritized their integrity above profits.
Was wondering if you’ve done/would do a review of fragrance du bois minuit et demi…. I’ve been thinking on snagging it but the reviews are a complete mix
New York Intense is the only one I know of so it makes sense that you liked that one. I'd like to know what you get off of skin.
I have London Oud & Oud Vert Intense ! Cavort & Secret Tryst are nice…
I love London Spice and Secret Tryst. Liked Cavort and Minuit et demi. They're a little overpriced in my opinion but definitely a solid house.

FdB for me at the moment is def over priced for what they offer. I have an Oud Bleu Intense decant which apparently is totally amazing. But, to me, it just came off very soapy and just meh to be honest. For my nose I've smelt much better that cost much much less.
My favorite is NY INTENSE!!
I ordered their discovery set a while back and they cancelled it saying it was out of stock. Maybe I'll try it again
Milano my love
Haha this makes you realize how much Demi Rawling Dck rides these companies, this is genuine.

FDB make some nice scents, but definitely not worth the price. Prices are high - x2 creed, 6x Mancera - and cant justify cost of production or retain a history
I’d recommend spending some time with these fragrances, especially Amber Intense, Parisian, or Sahraa (not in the sample set). I honestly think these take some time to understand. They aren’t mass-appealing - nor are they meant to be - but some of them are complex and fantastic scents.
Ambrose was your favorite but didn't make it to the end?
I don’t know about anyone else but I like long videos. I don’t have to change it right away…so don’t sweat it.
I've got cannabis blue and orange oud intense, I wear neither.
0:55 nice
I’m looking forward to trying something’s from this house but they are pricey
5th avenue smells like baby powder in a bad way lolol got samples from a perfume thing in italy
I am curious why you didn't go through the notes?
Sahara is where it’s at!

Overpriced trash with almost zero oud. There are dozens of rose oud fragrances that are infinitely better.
I've tried 2 of their discovery sets. They all smell high class but at the same time smell similar to fragrances that already exist. Polished clones IMO. Way over-priced too. I do however like Sahraa the most, but it costs at least double what I think it's worth.
I just wanna know why amber intense is half a £1000 😢…. I got a sample of it and love the scent so much but so expensive 😅

Hi Ash. You're are a great reviewer but you didn't it right this time. FDB's perfumes cannot be reviewed in this rush way. You need to review them properly and wait until they dry down. You didn't do them justice dear!
But whys so poor taste in presentation. They look like $1.99 frags with theese logo and fonts, fake gold and stones, it's like they inteded to appeal for someone with no taste. You can tell just from photos that the quality of the glass is on the lowest level.
Ash we trust your nose ! So take that fragrance company's 😝👨🏻🔬.
Yeah.. you ain't gettin them free bottles 🤣 the brand is overpriced trash anyway
