10 Expensive Fragrances That Are Worth EVERY PENNY

I’ve been sampling decants of niche fragrances lately. At that price point, blind buying just is not a smart move. Sometimes you’ll find that you just straight up do not enjoy a fragrance. (For me it was Interlude Man and Initio Side Effect). And other times, you might really enjoy a fragrance but you find the performance lacking for the price. (Looking at you Herod and current batches of Layton). Out of the samples I recently received, I think I’m going to purchase Haltane. But long story short….don’t blind buy expensive niche fragrances. Spend some money and get some decants so you can spend some time with them first before deciding that you want to buy them.

I recently picked Naxos for €205. Worth every penny.

Been a while since I watched your channel. Only discovered your new barman’ format a few days ago. Really like it! Relaxed, informative, cool!

Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day

Decant to me is the way to go for highly expensive perfumes. We know there would be new perfumes every year and most times you won’t be able to wear all what you currently have. I have PDM,Initio and some decants from FragranceNet. And most of my full bottles are like around 150 and below. I will keep it this way because it saves me money kind of and tend to have so much choices regardless of size wise.

yeah naxos is my first niche frag bought it 2 months ago the store was closing down they were up for 158 dollars so glad i bought it

Dior sauvage elixir is my most expensive cologne in my collection 150+ tax retail for 60 ml worth every penny going on almost 3 years still got a little less than half of juice left super strong only need a couple sprays. Amazing fragrance 💯

I like this video Ash . I like that you pointed out that value and expensiveness are subjective.

For me it has to be Aventus Cologne. My favorite warm weather scent I’ve ever smelled by far, I of course got it on discount but still the most expensive bottle I own. Still loving it

The only fragrance I’ve ever paid absolute full retail is Celine Bois Dormant. I bought the full size 4.2 oz bottle because I know that that particular frag wears like a skin scent. I think many people would be disappointed paying full retail but for me as a collector is something I “needed” and I absolutely love the way it smells. Other high end frags I feel are worth paying full price if you couldn’t find them at a discounter would be Chanel sycamore Creed royal oud MDCI invasion Barbare Tom ford beau du jour Bvlgari Ohnek Obviously these frags run a more mature demographic but I feel for high end event even for weddings funeral’s basically any place that demands you wear a suit and tie these are all a cut above many others in high end perfumery. Now I know you can find most of these at a discount but if you couldn’t and the above mentioned are to your style I’d say buy with confidence

Of course most people thought they made the right move. Nobody likes to admit they made a mistake 😂

Nice video! My best buy that worthed much more i spent was Amouage Jubilation Man for 170 Euros (around 180 USD) which i very much enjoy

Excellent vid Ash!

I purchased Oud for Greatness which is by far the most expensive perfume I've ever had. And, everyday I smell the cap even on the days I don't wear it just because I can't get enough of it. My wife absolutely loves it on me.

Great video, Ash! 🤘

Recently bought Dior parfum. $184, for me that is a lot. Worth it due to how hard it is to find in the "states". I have a decant and tried several times to purchase when it popped up online. Never quick enough when i saw the email. Always sold out. Finally scored.

I love pdm greenly. Its one of my daily driver. Especially in florida when its hot almost yesr round.

I have a new batch (5 months old) naxos, i bought it for 190$, unopened full box. I love it. And on my skin, thsi new batch still long lasting. A bit more citrusy then the old batches.

Great video! Which is the best discounter for PDM for myself in the UK?

They should make a YSL L’homme Elixir(that smells like the edt)
