Summer is officially upon us and in this video I have 10
affordable choices for those of you that are on a budget. Let's go ;)
Alright guys this is the third iteration of the summer videos that I do for you, they're designer,
niche, and this is the affordable choices for people on a budget that want to smell
amazing this summer season. We're going to kick things right off with a 10th option here
from a company that hardly ever gets talked about here in the fragrance community for years, it was
one of the top fragrances that people always talked about in the summertime, warm
weather, I don't know if it's been discontinued, but it's still readily available out there, this is
from ED HARDY - LOVE AND LUCK. I used to find this at my local Macy's, it doesn't sell there
anymore, but like I said, I don't know if this has been discontinued, but both Ed Hardy and Christian
Audigier fragrances were very famous, we're talking maybe, seven, eight years ago, now people don't talk
about it. This here is 100ml that you can have for below $40 bucks, like all the fragrances on
this list, you're going to find everything here US$40 and below, some cheapies but definitely great
this stuff here is very similar to Milesime Imperial from Creed, so it's going to have that "Sean John"
Unforgivable kind of a vibe, which is going to be fruity, watermelon-like, a little bit salty, marine
vibe, very fruity, I think there's pineapple in here as well along with the watermelon,
and it dries down to this nice woodsy kind of sensual vibe, really good stuff, it's long lasting, for
the price you really can't beat it, Ed Hardy at the 10th spot, this is called Love and Luck.
At the 9th spot here this is another staple in my rotation for affordable choices, in the warm
weather this is a company that is known for really good affordable fragrances, another one not really talked
about much, I used to find this in all the discount websites for really US$30 bucks or below
now not so much, this one here is readily available for you, like all the fragrances on this list, I
try to make your life easier that's what we do here, this is TOMMY BAHAMA, and it's
called ST KITTS. This one here, get this guys, it's going to smell like if you combine
Tom Ford Private Blends Costa Azura with Versace Men Eau Fraiche
you're going to have that starfruit, carambola fruit here, it's fizzy, it's sparkly, almost like a tropical
cocktail, it smells really good, it's long-lasting, in fact Tommy Bahama is known for
really good performing scents and affordable rate, this one here is another one that's going to give you
very long-lasting power, it's going to give you a nice first impression, people are going to love
the way you smell, and it's going to linger guys, will give you a tremendous sillage here and it smells great
all the fragrance here will have that sparkl,y fizzy, fruity kind of a vibe
that you get with blue aquatic, tropical summer scents, this one here is no different
St Kitts from Tommy Bahama at the ninth spot. At the 8th spot this is my second favorite car
fragrance brand, the reason why I'm doing this at the 8th spot is because this particular fragrance
has been discontinued, it was very hard to find for many years, now it's actually readily available and
it's one of the reminiscent offerings of this collection here which is called The Essence
collection from FERRARI, this is going to be RADIANT BERGAMOT, a cheapie that smells
absolutely fantastic, what this reminds me of is
think about Aqua di Parma Colonia fragrances like Colonia Assoluta, Colonia Essenza, it's got that
very beautiful colonia vibe, which is very masculine, very uplifting, but it also combines
a gorgeous bergamot like the name implies, Radiant Bergamot, from the fragrance that you would
get from the Bergamot aroma in fragrances like Le Labo Bergamot 22.
that's how good this stuff is, it actually dries to a very nice green barbershop, woodsy kind
of a feel, it's extremely long-lasting, and the price is below $30 bucks guys for 400ml, a beautiful bottle
discontinued, get it while you can guys, Radiant Bergamot from Ferrari at the 8th spot,
At the seventh spot here, this particular fragrance kind like L'humaniste or Parfums de Marly
Galloway, so you know right off the bet that it's gonna smell amazing, it's gonna be inviting, it's gonna be
one of those kind of a fragrance very compelling, it's going to give you an edge, we're talking
LALIQUE WHITE, we all know Lalique produces great quality juices for incredible affordable prices
this one here is no different, this is not strong in performance, perhaps on the whole list here it's
going to be the lowest performing fragrance, which will give you like five to six hours
which is okay, if a fragrance gives me like three or four hours and I smell amazing, I love the way
I smell, the way I make people feel, that's okay, you can always reapply, this is cheap guys, we're
talking less than $20 bucks for a 125ml, this is 4.2ounce, you really can't beat it, you're gonna smell
incredible guys, Lalique White at the 7th spot, amazing for the summertime affordable scents.
At the sixth spot guys this perhaps, let me see, no not perhaps, this is the most youthful
juvenile or playful, sweet kind of a scent here on this list, with this category here at the six
spot, you could have gone with a ton of different options, you could go with Dunhill Icon Racing, you
could go with Paco Rabanne Invictus Aqua, that is if you can find it for a good price, because
the price is skyrocketing on that, but needless to say, Rasasi Hawas is very similar to this profile as
well, but this is a newcomer because we know this particular brand produces really good quality
juices, just like I talked about before, and they're very highly concentrated, long-lasting, and we're
talking HALLOWEN MAN HERO, recently released, a brand new release, I did a first impression for
you guys which i'll pop it up here, this particular fragrance smells good, it lasts a long time, there's
no doubt about it, beautiful strong sprays and the price is incredible, you're talking I think
under $40 bucks for this, for a 100ml, it's good stuff just like Halloween Man X for
evening time, I would wear this for daytime, if you have events during the day that you want to smell
really refreshing, really appealing, really sweet, it's not as sweet as Paco Rabanne Invictus Acqua
it has the same kind of dna along with the same notes that that fragrance has, so if you like that
perhaps go with this one, I'd say this is a little spicier than Paco Rabanne Invictus Acqua but it's still
a great fragrance for compliment, it's refreshing for the summertime at an affordable price.
And even more affordable guys ,a great way to try fragrances without having to buy the bottle, or blind
buy like I do for you guys, so you don't have to, I give you guys the 411 and keep you in the know, go to
perfuum.com guys, it's a great way to do it, use my code max10, there's Max packs which I talk about my
top seasonal videos, you can utilize a discount on that max pack, on top of it you can use the
max10 for future discounts, you guys can always get a small decant of anything you want whether
affordable, high-end niche, you name it you can always get a decant of whatever size you want,
the sizes that are available on the site, smaller size for incredible prices, you can live with that
scent really wear it and see if it works with you before committing to high expensive, or even
affordable bottles, but you don't want to just pile up the bottles and not wear them, so perfuum.com is a
great way to try it before you buy it, check it out. At the fifth spot this particular fragrance
from a middle eastern brand, you guys know they also produce really high concentrated strong
juices for great affordable prices, we're talking Al Haramain, we're talking Armaf, we're talking
Rasasi, and the fragrance at hand here is from RASASI and this is going to be ENTEBAA, this fragrance here is
very similar to Silver Mountain Water from Creed, it's smells amazing, incredible for compliments, it's a
fruitier version of Silver Mountain Water, SMW has a kind of an inky vibe, which
kind of turns people off, this one does not have that inky vibe, in the beginning it's a little dark
and a little bit hard to take in, but as the fragrance develops it's gorgeous, this one
here takes away the inky vibe with more sweetness and fruitiness to it, great for summertime, spring,
if you like this type of a scent that's really fruity, really uplifting, definitely check this out.
Like I said, it's similar to Silver Mountain Water and you can't go wrong for a great affordable price,
Entebaa from Rasasi. At the fourth spot this comes from my favorite car fragrance brand,
Ferrari is my second favorite, this is my favorite and you know that's going to be BENTLEY
but no it's not Silverlake, it's actually going to be AZURE, this is very tropical,
you think about the mediterranean coast, you think about the Amalfi coast, lemons, limes, bergamots,
pineapple, there's a gorgeous fruity pineapple here, it's very fruity, it's long-lasting, it's what
I love about this, this particular house Bentley does it very well, this one here is very affordable,
it reminds me of Givenchy Insensé Ultramarine which is a discontinued fragrance, this is what I get
here, in the base you have this ambergris, white musk, that's very sensual and extremely inviting,
guys check this out, in fact check out the whole Bentley collection, you're not going to disappoint,
they have something for everyone, the whole spectrum from light and refreshing like this
to the other end of the spectrum, like the heavier leather kind of a scent, with men
and men intense, guys check them out you're going to love them. If you guys want to go straight to

fork up the big dough and get it retail, guys check out fragrancebuy.ca, you know it's the best

The last three here are going to be incredible, all 10 here are amazing, but maybe you're just
looking for one or two scents to grab to have for the summer time for the next few months, check
these three out for sure guys, this one here, what if i told you you could smell like Aventus for $35
or less, right about 35ish kind of a price point for 100 ml of this stuff here, from AL HARAMAIN
this is called L'AVENTURE, this is one of the best clones of Aventus out there,
for a great price, I could have talked about Armaf de Nuit Intense which also smells like Aventus,
but I have to tell you guys, it is cheaper than this, but it has been heavily reformulated, so
it's very weak these days, unless you find an older bottle, or I could also talk about Montblanc Explorer
which is very similar to Aventus but it's heavy on the bergamot, not as much pineapple, but if you
want a very fruity long-lasting pineapple guys, L'aventure is your way to go, this stuff is
amazing, it smells so good what this will be my freaking scent
of the day today, I'm gonna tell you, you're gonna smell very similar to Aventus for the
unknown nose out there they're gonna know you smell great, and even if somebody knows Aventus
and they smell this on you, they're gonna think you're wearing Aventus, that's how good this stuff is,
it's long-lasting, it smells amazing, Al Haramain does it well guys, check it out, at third spot.
All right, the last two options are going to be for those of you that
always ask me "hey Max, how about summer nights, can you give me some options that are great for
summer nights", if I'm going off on dinners, if I'm going out on dates, I want to smell good, I want to
smell sophisticated, yet refreshing. I got you cover guys, I got two choices here that are incredible,
this one here at the second spot I love it and you should most definitely
check it out if you're looking for a great evening scent to smell great this summer, this is
BLEU NOIR FOR HIM from NARCISO RODRIGUEZ, this my friends is going to be as if you mixed Terre D'Hermes with
Bal D'Afrique from Byredo. It has a gorgeous beautiful sprayer, it has vetiver notes, it's earthy,
it's creamy, it's sweet, it's backed up by amazing fruity kind of nuances, if I'm not mistaken there's
pineapple in here as well, so it's fruity, it's got a beautiful vetiver laced with fruits and some musks,
I'm gonna tell you guys, Narciso Rodriguez is one of the most underrated
masculine brands out there, when it comes to the For Him Collection, it's great, I think everything
I've yet to smell something from this collection that's not long-lasting and amazing
smelling, so Bleu Noir from Narciso Rodriguez for him collection, amazing for summer nights, now guys
brace yourselves, this one here will blow your mind, you guys are always asking for great summer nights,
this is an incredible one from, well, let's just say this is from Azzaro, but no it's not going to be
from the Essencial blends collection that I talked to you guys a couple years ago, we
heavily talked about Ginger, the Wild Mint one, those are great too don't get me wrong, but
this one here is something special that I hardly ever talk about, it's one of my secrets, the perfumer
here is Annick Ménardo which is a master perfumer, this stuff here is complex, it smells incredible,
it's gonna get you noticed, if you want something amazing for dates, summer nights guys,
check this out, this is going to be AZZARO VISIT, now this here, a discontinued fragrance from 2003,
is still available, you can still get this guy, so you know, don't snooze because it's still
out there, perhaps not for long, it smells so good, it's got this coconut, pineapple kind of a
vibe up top, which is like creamy, almost like a pina colada, but then it develops this very
sensual, romantic kind of summer nights vibe, you have the fruitiness,
you have the citruses up top, you have some musks in here, and you also have this gorgeous woody base
which has a little bit of vetiver, a little bit of cedar, it just smells amazing, you guys know
Annick Ménardo does not joke around. Visit from Azzaro for $22 bucks for 100ml, this is criminally
underrated guys, amazing, the number one for summer this year, check it out. Alright guys thanks for
