Great video! It was my scent back in high school. 11th and 12th grade, 1991 and 1992. I was your typical kid, looking for attention from the ladies. It helped me get noticed, with compliments, but never got laid because I had no swagger...lol.
first time I spraye..i even didn't like it ..but now....It's beast..the opening is very strong but the drydown is even better...it's a very masculine and manly barbershop scent....just ordered another 2 bottles.. :)
Love that intro. This fragrance grew on me and now i really like it. 1 spray is all you need of this and that is under clothing on your stomach or chest. That helps make it much more wearable.
Thank you for the great review, Dan. I really appreciate how you always keep the reviewers in mind and give your honest opinion. Keep up the great work! Cheers from San Diego.
This scent has been in around my family since I remember, I love it. The most beautiful phase of it is the sweetness of the dry down, it will last forever if you applied on clothes.
Using Robert Oppenheimer in your video was a stroke of genius! LolThese 80s powerhouse fragrances are something else, i only have one, drakkar noir.Good job Dan!
do you think retro scents are making a comeback? I seem to see the mainstream brands reinventing their old scents like YSL Jazz, Dior Faranheit etc...If so, given its price, is this still worth a purchase for the purpose of it's potential sell on value?
This and Kouros was my dad’s go to when I was a kid. I can confirm that this was a hit with the ladies, I would say this greatly contributed to my dad’s running count when he was younger😂😂😂
Great review, brother. I have been using Lapidus cologne since I was introduced to it during my Senior year in high school back in the fall of 1992, and I continue to use it to this day.
Totally agree with the bathroom or gym locker room vibe of this fragrance; masculinity and dirty cleanliness... Very imginative and intelligent on your part.
I got a bottle of this in today and I have to say it was much better than I had expected it defiantly smells dated but i feel it is somewhat wearable. I'm 25 and I think I could wear this it is defiantly a powerhouse but even my girlfriend said it was alright she defiantly didn't mind it. I get like a fruity incense type of vibe from it. Next I'll have to try king kouros.
Love Lapidus Pour Homme. It is very 80's and I like what I think Lex said about it, it's like the love child of Kouros and Aventus. Mostly resembling Kouros.
I really love the unique picks you always review and the entertaining humor factor you put in always puts a smile on my face. You are one of the very few I trust for a blind buy. Thank you Mr smelly great as always
This was my first perfume, I remember my mom bought me this when I was 11 around 2003. I don’t know I didn’t really enjoy it back then as an 11 years old. Just bought it again last week, it brings back alot of childhood memories
Mr. Smelly - I'm very much looking forward to your upcoming powerhouse episode. I'll be preparing myself for the festivities with daily dousings of Montana Homme. No pitchforks, though, if it doesn't make your list. Kind regards!
Thanks for the review. Interesting take on the fragrance which appears to be well renowned for it's beast mode . Based on your assessment I have visions of a certain Lex, with his face half painted in blue, running towards you yelling something ( I don't think it is a Scottish greeting)!!! :-)
Thx for ur review.....i love kouros as a strong fragrance and will soon order Lapidus and Antaeus.....lemme know if u come across more such like scents....thx
Great review, thanks!! This is one of the few fragrances from the 80's that still survives in intensity in this "reformulated world of fragrances" ! Have you tried Oscar de la Renta's Pour Lui (1980) ? Let me know your opinion on it if you have please...Thanks again!
This fragrance is definitely not for everyone but I have to say the collector should definitely buy it, the nostalgic person should definitely buy it and you have extra testosterone levels you shhould definitely buy it. thanks for the video and yes other fragrances you mentioned gets close to this but i would say 70% max close specially kouros
Your comic timing is incredible. Thank you for being you. I’m buying this, Lomani Pour Homme, and Lagerfeld Bois De Vetiver for my next additions to my collection. Any thoughts on these ones?
"Oh yes... it's gonna get stankay!": Paul Rudd in Anchorman. A fitting description of this fave classic. I think it smells like (a totally fictional) German brothel. Absolutely dig it.
I really enjoy this one.. I had it first time in 1992, at that time it smelled like old man to me, today i love it, it's a kind of a barbershop scent, with some sort of freshness.. it's really complex.. this and bogart pour homme, and you are good for the winter time, the next many years... Great video as always.. regards
Haha fucking loved this!👍 when I first smelt this it smelt like a mixture of crushed ants, blackcurrants and bits of real panther😆 quite avant garde for the average nose. When it dries down though it's glorious👌
5/10?! Jesus! I just got out on bail! now I'll have to come back up there! Haha! excellent review and thank GOD! when I reviewed this I was sitting thinking "I fucked that review up royally" but I'm so glad i'm not the only one who found it so confusing...the opening is so fucking true, first time I smelled Lapidus I had NO IDEA! what I was smelling. As much as I like Kouros, I have to say though, Lapidus does a tiny bit more for me than Kouros, that fruity part of just works so well, it's crazy!
Thanks Lex! That was a great right hook you threw! Yeah it's a wtf smell. But a good one. I will need to try it out more but it is definitely a really significant fragrance in powerhouse history.
Great work mate. Many years ago ( 1995) I asked a very cheeky lady friend of mine what she thought of the smell as I did not really like it at the time , she found it dirty and sexy in a very good way. I did not purchase it at the time but own it now. Love to wear it from time to time as does my 18 year old son, it's a masterpiece in my eyes and better than kouros.cheers
Great review! I'm pretty much with you on this one. I own and appreciate the scent, but just don't find that many occasions to wear it. If anyone wants to know if they'll like this, they could do worse than try Lord by Al Rehab. It's pretty much a clone of Lapidus, and a roll-on can be had for a couple of pounds on Ebay.
Very bloody good mate, i got this recently too based on good reviews etc, i do find it too mature smelling for me though, I'm 35 and could pull it off but it smells like something my dad would wear, certainly a very good frag though, it's one of those legends that i will keep hold of along with a few others that I don't use like azzaro p.h and antaeus, because im into this fragrance shit. I'm not a collector but you never know when a frag is gonna become rare as hell like M7 and quadruple in price.
Thanks Razscott. Totallt agree. More for the collector perhaps. But we might surprise ourselves if we wore this out and about! Funnily enough I bought Antaeus on a Faecebook group today. That I would wear more easily than this on a winter night.
this grey can be found nowadays..... on audi RS porsche for example This fragrance is a Bomb, few contemporary if not none could compete with it whether memo Tom Ford le Labo..... Nahhh this Pour Homme is a warrior extremly sensual very masculine, peaceful manly power vibe
staple in my collection since the 90s. i went to the mall a couple of weeks ago to check all the new stuff and I was wearing Lapidus, yeah every thing smell the same and some what feminine....
Bought this based on your newer video. Just wanted to say it (opening anyway) smells like Zoologist Hummingbird, which I wanted, but wasn't gonna pay for.
I love smothering myself with a good 8-10 sprays before going out. myself with about 8-10 sprays of lapidus pour homme and then head to the mall. I hear some people complain that someone bathed in it....but I
Great review as always, love the dry comic intro, just done my first frag review would love to get your view on it any creative criticism and tips would be nice all the best Mark
u should do review Guerlain Homme and david beckham instinct they say guerlain homme is mojito in a perfume with rum and mint .. sounds really exciting
Great video! It was my scent back in high school. 11th and 12th grade, 1991 and 1992. I was your typical kid, looking for attention from the ladies. It helped me get noticed, with compliments, but never got laid because I had no swagger...lol.
The young ones call it "rizz" (charisma) these days xD
It's ok. Nobody gets laid
Best ever review of Lapidus. Definitely, a must-have retro scent.
first time I spraye..i even didn't like it ..but now....It's beast..the opening is very strong but the drydown is even better...it's a very masculine and manly barbershop scent....just ordered another 2 bottles.. :)
Love that intro. This fragrance grew on me and now i really like it. 1 spray is all you need of this and that is under clothing on your stomach or chest. That helps make it much more wearable.
Thanks cocktail Zombie. Agreed this is one where a single spray could be enough.
got this and bogart pour homme. If i had to assemble an army of fragrances these 2 will be at the front line
add one man show and the batallion will be complete !!!!
Ozzy dont listen to marlce one man show cologne is awful
I have 8 Bogarts in my new house collection. Does Lapidus House sell all beast mode colognes?
Thank you for the great review, Dan. I really appreciate how you always keep the reviewers in mind and give your honest opinion. Keep up the great work! Cheers from San Diego.
Thanks a lot Chris it means a lot!
This scent has been in around my family since I remember, I love it. The most beautiful phase of it is the sweetness of the dry down, it will last forever if you applied on clothes.
Thanks for watching my friend . I watch all your reviews and always enjoy them.
Using Robert Oppenheimer in your video was a stroke of genius! LolThese 80s powerhouse fragrances are something else, i only have one, drakkar noir.Good job Dan!
Thanks a lot! Drakkar Noir is a classic!
My signature fragrance since 1987
do you think retro scents are making a comeback? I seem to see the mainstream brands reinventing their old scents like YSL Jazz, Dior Faranheit etc...If so, given its price, is this still worth a purchase for the purpose of it's potential sell on value?
This and Kouros was my dad’s go to when I was a kid. I can confirm that this was a hit with the ladies, I would say this greatly contributed to my dad’s running count when he was younger😂😂😂
1987 BEAST!!!!! GREAT FRAGRANCE

Just pulled the trigger on a blind purchase, I love Antaeus and Kouros so I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised 😆
its my dad's favorite, i learned to love it,
Great review!!
I received a sample, tried it, and liked it quite a lot.
For sure it will be one of the fragrances I'll be going to buy soon.
Epic masterpiece, 97/100. Do. Not. Hesitate.
Lol! I nearly crapped my trousers after your intro. Thanks for the shout out buddy, another brilliant review.
Thanks a lot Misan. And thanks for the bottle. Very glad to have it!
Love Lapidus Pour Homme. It is very 80's and I like what I think Lex said about it, it's like the love child of Kouros and Aventus. Mostly resembling Kouros.
Yes Lex put it well there. More for Kouros fans than Aventus ones!
I really love the unique picks you always review and the entertaining humor factor you put in always puts a smile on my face. You are one of the very few I trust for a blind buy. Thank you Mr smelly great as always
Thank you Salman. I really appreciate that.
this one grew on me after a bit of time.. I actually love it now...
Is Lapidus Pour Homme the same as Lapidus Altamir (renamed or re-branded) ? Thank you. I just bought Altamir and I am enjoying the fragrance.
A descriptive review on lapidus! Pulling the trigger on this one soon!
This was my first perfume, I remember my mom bought me this when I was 11 around 2003. I don’t know I didn’t really enjoy it back then as an 11 years old. Just bought it again last week, it brings back alot of childhood memories
I was 15 at that time 😂.. i remember my dad put it on and i adore it.
my scent of the day its sooo good just love it the whole line is fantastic i have every one amazing
Solid and entertaining review as always... Appreciate the candor, I'm assuming this one has a Zero compliment factor
Mr. Smelly - I'm very much looking forward to your upcoming powerhouse episode. I'll be preparing myself for the festivities with daily dousings of Montana Homme. No pitchforks, though, if it doesn't make your list.
Kind regards!
Thanks a lot Kerino 1.
#1 LAPIDUS POUR HOMME & LAPIDUS POUR HOMME BLACK EXTREME
Lovin your reviews and humor Chief 💯
Great intro and editing. Just picked this one up. Interesting to say the least.
The fruity sweetness of the dry down is what I like the most about LPH.Greetings for Colombia.
Love your style & humor man!!!
Thanks a lot that means a lot as I love your reviews.
Thanks for the review. Interesting take on the fragrance which appears to be well renowned for it's beast mode . Based on your assessment I have visions of a certain Lex, with his face half painted in blue, running towards you yelling something ( I don't think it is a Scottish greeting)!!! :-)
A scary thought! Thanks flash.
Thx for ur review.....i love kouros as a strong fragrance and will soon order Lapidus and Antaeus.....lemme know if u come across more such like scents....thx

Thanks Double Trouble! I will take that as I compiment!
My bottle came in today. Love it. Manly scent for men.
I really enjoy this one.. I had it first time in 1992, at that time it smelled like old man to me, today i love it, it's a kind of a barbershop scent, with some sort of freshness.. it's really complex.. this and bogart pour homme, and you are good for the winter time, the next many years... Great video as always.. regards
Thanks a lot. It is certainly complex and hard to make out at first.
Love the video clips. Just ordered this, think I've gotta try it.
This Fragrance is mad, never wear it to the office like I did as it projects a good few meters choking everyone
Thanks Mosh it is beastly!
This cologne is a Masterpiece.....
Haha fucking loved this!👍 when I first smelt this it smelt like a mixture of crushed ants, blackcurrants and bits of real panther😆 quite avant garde for the average nose. When it dries down though it's glorious👌
Great description thanks Ben!
Hehe, how do crushed ants and panther smell? Guess I have to crush some ants and go to the zoon to find out.
one of the true killer scents. most complimented.
5/10?! Jesus! I just got out on bail! now I'll have to come back up there!
Haha! excellent review and thank GOD! when I reviewed this I was sitting thinking "I fucked that review up royally" but I'm so glad i'm not the only one who found it so confusing...the opening is so fucking true, first time I smelled Lapidus I had NO IDEA! what I was smelling.

Oh don't worry about it! my latest video has me sorting it out with the lawyer!
Probably just a litter pick or something! or a fine.....ugh!
Lex Ellis box design, see cocteau Twins record albums. "Head over heels" lex being a Scot you'll understand Liz Frazer.
Haha. I died at the interview with ‘Martin Gras’. Great video.
For me Lapidus Pour Homme is one of the best of all time.
How's the performance in 2024 ?
Just blind bought it...and waiting for delivery.
Awesome intro lol. Great review as always my friend:).
Thanks a lot. Much appreciated. Was just watching your old review of Invasion Barbare this morning!
Oh cool, hope you liked it. I appreciate you watching my vids:)
Great work mate. Many years ago ( 1995) I asked a very cheeky lady friend of mine what she thought of the smell as I did not really like it at the time , she found it dirty and sexy in a very good way.

Thanks Razscott. Totallt agree. More for the collector perhaps. But we might surprise ourselves if we wore this out and about! Funnily enough I bought Antaeus on a Faecebook group today. That I would wear more easily than this on a winter night.
I look forward to your intros in every video these days... :)
Thanks Samrat. Much appreciated.
this grey can be found nowadays..... on audi RS porsche for example This fragrance is a Bomb, few contemporary if not none could compete with it whether memo Tom Ford le Labo..... Nahhh this Pour Homme is a warrior extremly sensual very masculine, peaceful manly power vibe
I love Lapidus !
Nice Review❤ how similar is al-rehab lord?
Smells like an OG animalic chypre with sweetness on top. Smelled a clone of it today. Quite interesting
staple in my collection since the 90s. i went to the mall a couple of weeks ago to check all the new stuff and I was wearing Lapidus, yeah every thing smell the same and some what feminine....
Good to know. Yes this would teach some of the new releases nowadays a thing or two!
looking forward to try this one, thanks.
Thanks Mohammed. It is a very interesting fragrance.
In the late eighties my dad's were Kouros , YSL pour homm, Givenchy 2 Monsieur and this LPH
I got mine a few months ago, it doesn't perform 'beastly' on my skin,but overall it's a great honey-tobacco scent
wich year is your bottle ?
Need to try it finally! Please do A TL pour homme sport review
they say some people have that it factor u just dont know why .. i cant seem to get enough reviews from jeremy and mrsmelly lol
Thanks for the great compliment.
Very well described my friend! Enjoyed this.
Thanks very much Kologne I appreciate you watching.
Great review Dan, loved the black eye from Lex! Fuck...I best get this soon lest he come knocking at my door!
Thanks a lot Steven. Yes it was quite a shock when he turned up!
Bought this based on your newer video. Just wanted to say it (opening anyway) smells like Zoologist Hummingbird, which I wanted, but wasn't gonna pay for.
My favorite ever!!!!
my God you get funnier and funnier.... great review my friend
Thanks a lot! Loving your videos too.
Cheers! wish I could be as entertaining as you
hi...i love Ted Lapidus....i love ALTAMIR TL...THX. VERY VINTAGE. LOVE VINTAGE STYLE. Blessed!
Great review, I remember my father gave it to me when I was 10 or 12, I don't even remember how it smells now haha!
Lucky you! My Dad had Givenchy Gentleman. Another powerhouse! Thanks Demonwares.
It smells like 79 years old mafia boss but is great
Great as always, try f black by Salvatore ferragamo, i think it will fit you perfectly
p.s. who is the idiot who disliked, wish him bad projection!!!
Thanks T. I have a sample of F black. Maybe I will mention it in a video soon.
May the disliker's sillage be weak!
All this kind of bottles are a beast of the beast, example Balenciaga homme
Great review!! I enjoy the scent itself,but it is way too cloying that it gives me a headache.I gave it to my father.
Thanks Vincent. Yes it is potentially overpowering!
so Lex came down from Scotland to give you a shiner? that's what I call dedication :)
ha ha yes I deserved it Tal!
I love this fragrance on a man!!
love the robert oppenheimer clip
Thanks a lot Mark.
I love smothering myself with a good 8-10 sprays before going out.
myself with about 8-10 sprays of lapidus pour homme and then head to the mall. I hear some people complain that someone bathed in it....but I
hey Dan what's the uk fragrance facebook page called?
Hi Steven. Just tries to add you on facebook.
Great review as always, love the dry comic intro, just done my first frag review would love to get your view on it any creative criticism and tips would be nice all the best Mark
Thanks I am checking it out now.
I want people to know I'm coming lol I can't not blind buy this, it's no where in my country....I also have my eyes on Bogart pour homme as well.😆
Oppenheimer signature scent.
I only get maybe half hour good projection then it dies. Probably reformulated like all the rest. Such a shame one cant enjoy cologne anymore
Extremely complex scent, it's totally different later in the day, or after working hard.
Great review. I trust in you mr. S. Your the best and I don't believe your exwife.
Thanks very much. To be fair she has a point!
u should do review Guerlain Homme and david beckham instinct
they say guerlain homme is mojito in a perfume with rum and mint .. sounds really exciting
Thanks I will try and check those out.
You're lucky Lex didn't give you a Glasgow smile.
Hahahaha😝
thank u.
epic intro mr smelly. just luvv ur videos
Not for blind purchase girls under 30 years old can hate this perfume not apply more than 2 spray
Just decant this and mix it with pineapple and vanilla and it is a top contender. YOUR WELCOME!
I get Rosewater. Canadian gum brand Thrills. Irish spring. It's a pleasant smell, I literally think a woman could get away with wearing this.
Interestingly, before I gave this a thumbs-up, the 'like count' was 666.
Anyone knows where I can get a vintage bottle of this? Or if the current still performs pretty solid?
It'solid, got the latest one and it stays on me around 9 hours.
Nice funny vid! This is a real classic masterpiece for sure!
Thanks a lot. Certainly a benchmark fragrance of its kind.
Smell like cementery or Dracula perfum jaja but is great
i have a vintage bottles its stronger than bottle of kouros i have !!! its like super beast
Oh god if there is a stronger vintage version I am not sure I dare try it!
Yes it's super beast😂😂😂😂
