Beautiful ❤I think about CC number 1 for men and X for women

When Elon Musk announced he was moving twitter “X” from San Francisco to Texas, I immediately thought of you because it was through one of your videos years ago that you walked around and you showed us where that building was and I thank you for all your educational videos that you’ve ever put out!!!!

I would describe Bowling Green as related to Drakkar Noir (albeit with a lighter and less dense character) as well as Gillette Cool Wave aftershave and the green La Toja aftershave splash. It is more sophisticated than any of those, but somewhat comparable.

Hi Lanier, Seth here from Olympia. (I changed my CZcams name a little while ago.) Some fragrances that I think are consistent with this theme are Guerlain Vetiver, Dana (nowadays) Monsieur Musk, and Proraso Red (sandalwood) aftershave.

5:47 thought you were going to mention See No Evil, Hear No Evil (1989) for a second. Lol

Monsieur is the best for gentlemen. I also love Paco Rabanne. I like 1959, its my birth year.

Just ordered my first bottle. Been a fraghead for years but somehow always forgot this. Thank you Lanier for reminding me and as always a great video!

Those photos of yours are very impressive. Such a beautiful, noble face... I love your voice and the way you speak. You are very elegant, very classy.

What a lovely coincidence! When I decided to buy my first designers fragrance with my first salary back in 1993, I went to Chanel’s counter and asked for Egoiste. The sales lady told me that I should buy something more trendy and youthful like Cool Water but I said I didn’t want to smell like the rest. Then I went for something more appropriate for daytime and she offered me Eternity. I chose Chanel pour Monsieur instead and I was delighted with my choice. One day, many years afterwards,I learned from someone who deserves all my respect the following thing: Wear what you love and not what they tell you!❤

I wore it a lot back in the day. Initially, it was a gift from my maternal auntie Ena because she fell in love with the scent while shopping on base (McChord Air Force Base) back in the day. I had been wearing Grey Flannel for years, but this scent was lovely for spring and summer. I loved it and was saddened that it was discontinued. And bring back Kenzo Tokyo too!

Wonderful to hear your take on these classic gems from Ralph Lauren. I loved Safari for Men when it was first released, and it became a daily driver for me at the time. I think it's worth noting that the 1985 film, "Out of Africa" (with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford) based on the novel by Isak Dinesen/Karen Blixen - surely must have had stylistic and romantic influences on RL's Safari campaign.

Dear sir, can you find the Batchcode number under the bottle? cause down there is nothing. it's just under the box. I'm worried that my perfume not authentic...

You are best perfume presenter on you tube..bravo lanier xo

Hi dear. Very good review, as always . Could I know where have you found that book ? Thank you 😊

Can you please review Millesime 1849 by Creed, that was re-releazed in 2023. I am confident you will love it. It smells in between Chanel 5 and the Chypre Fulminare.

❤ Awesome review!🎉

Love your reviews! Have you done one for guerlain Jicky yet? That’s my favorite fragrance!

Just because some old lady was wearing it doesn’t mean it’s how it smells lol

Love the cocktail……bois des îles is devine…just trying it for the first time……❤ going to Paris in September….31 rue Cambon is where i gonna be ❤

Finally, a men’s fragrance channel that seems classy and not an “influencer” channel

Would love a video on the work of Bernard Chant. Like the Elizabeth Taylor video you did. Hes probably my favorite perfumer

Wonderful review sir, classy as always. This is a perfume I've been wearing non stop the last few weeks.

Great review! Nice to see you again, love from Brazil!

Another fun reference to Shalimar in a movie is from See No Evil, Hear No Evil (1989) starring Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder. The fabulous villainess is portrayed by Joan Severance (80s supermodel-turned-actress), and Richard Pryor's character, who is blind, identifies her by the Shalimar she wears. I adore Joan, so I blind bought a bottle of Shalimar so I could smell like her. And now every time my film group watches a Joan Severance film, I spritz a little Shalimar for the occasion.

Subbed! Great video

❤ Awesome!🎉

❤ AWESOME!🎉

Great memories. I love both chanel perfumes. Thank you.

when you get a chance, you may want to check your PMs at Fragrantica

In the genre of fragrances that you seem to prefer, I would check out Paul Sebastian Fine Cologne from 1979. A super cheapie with a lovely spicy old school scent . Very good longevity and sillage for such an inexpensive fragrance.

Polo green is a masterpiece! My favorite alongside Platinum Egoiste Dior Eau Sauvage Armani Pour Homme and Tuscany by Aramis

Great review Mr. Smith, I acquired this last year in May, I very much enjoy it even a bit more than my Roja Diaghilev

This is actually a lovely burst of peach. I truly appreciate this perfume. It's quite phenomenal.

The most cultural man in this community.

Such a great video idea- and lovely scent recommendations. Never visited the places except for Rome, but thank you for sharing the scented recommendations :)

Great theme!!!

Top 10 for life is very difficult, and it would change week to week. Too many would be left out that shouldn't be. But for now: I'd have to start with my 3 all time favorites before going to occassion-appropriate categories, so: 1. Ralph Lauren Polo Green 2. Dior Sauvage EDT 3. Creed Bois du Portugal Then I'd go to categories: 4. Most formal, elegant "scent for a King's coronation: Creed Royal Oud. 5. "Everyday scent": Creed Viking. 6. "Office scent": Creed Original Vetiver. 7. Freshie/Oceanic/Marine/Aquatic: Creed EROLFA. And since I'm a big fougere fan: 8. Guerlain Heritage. 9. YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme. 10. Tom Ford Beau de Jour. What can I say, Im a Creed lover. Too many left out though. Invasion Barbare. Terre d'Hermes. Guerlain Vetiver. Etc etc. But that's fir tiday.

Hello, I just subscribed to your youtube channel. Your content is really great, but you didn't optimize your video, if you optimize your video will rank. If you want I can help you to grow your channel as well as SEO ranking.

Lanier love your reviews God bless you.

Love your music. And Aramis of course.

What an opening for the show! The magicians of being Italian! Your valuation of these each fragrances wich we all are so familiar with is just what we all need now, nothing else than impressions of the moment! My all time favorite of these is absolutely the ADP's Colonia, became my signature of all these among and over so many other brands not listed here! Viva Italy, viva Lanier!😊

I’ve been enjoying two from Geo F Trumper; Sandalwood and Spanish Leather.

'Promo SM' 🙏

Beautiful! The recipient has changed meantime, I wonder if the content is the same..

I had to look up Nectarine in Paris after your lovely description. Sadly, it seems to have closed from the looks of Google street view. I wonder what happened with that waitress friend of yours...time flies by.

Lanier did you ever see the The Stud fragrance by Joan Collins, it was a tie in for the movie just prior to Dynasty by around three years

I Love Lanier, he is so classy, handsome, and cool. Thank you for this video and the others, respect.

Lanier, may I ask you please have you ever heard of a body spray and perfume called Limara? When I was 16 in 1985, I started to use these, as there was nothing really for young men. There was one called American Dream, and another called Yellow Moon, they don’t exist anymore, they were marketed at females but I always use female scents as I prefer them. You mentioned you worked at Macy’s that’s so cool. I Love the USA

I adore chypres but I need cold weather to fully enjoy them. Traditional chypres have felt out of favor because, at least in my opinion, because they need certain level of elegance and currently most people go so…poorly dressed that it doesn’t match with such masterpieces. I could never wear Paloma Picasso or Cabochard with sneakers and jogging pants for instance. It’s like the opposite, wearing a suit to a soccer match. Well, it’s summertime here in Costa Rica, and I will have to wait some months before I can enjoy the elegant embrace of my chypres.
