Sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot the password. I would love any tricks you can give me.
I really like this list! So many classics! A couple of my favorites from decades gone by: Polo (70’s), Drakkar Noir (80’s), Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme and Ck Eternity (90’s).
Just found this by trawling through your videos. You've become my most trusted reviewer along with Chris from FragMental. I have 75% of these picks and love the older style classics. Chanel PM, Egoiste, Guerlain's Heritage, HR and vetiver, Creed BDP and ADP Essenza are Staples. Lalique PH is a great affordable signature scent too. Thank you for doing all the homework so we can enjoy.
Égoiste is my all time favorite, would be great if your next fragrance would go into that direction. There isnt really anything like it out there. I guess the closest would be Trumpers Sandalwood...
From the eighties you have to put in Drakkar noir...it was king! It's smells fresh and unique...so much that candles and air fresheners imitate it. It was ahead of its time and still gets lots of compliments
Your collection in this video is a real class! Even though I don't own every single one of them, I know most and they're brilliant. However, it's not a Mr. Smelly's video without the trademark gunshot sprays. Where have they gone? lol.
Late late to acknowlege the great choices and presentation. Still have to smell the Givenchies and orig Dior Homme. Would add Envy for 90s - 2000. Also really like patreon recognized Armani Eau PH. And I'll shout out for Dunhill Icon. Excited to be pulling trigger on AdP Essenza soon. Cheers.
Great review Dan, happy you have hit your kick starter target will buy on release. Hope can you do your version on chanel pour monsieur with fantastic performance x
My father gave me what was left of his original Monsieur de Givenchy in the fat bottle and black cap, but I only came to appreciate it in the last 3 years. Magical the vintage juice is. Haven't tried the new version, but I've heard that it's lost some of its lustre. Nailed the value on those Guerlains too. Habit Rouge edt still has one of the longest lasting lemon notes I've ever encountered in a designer fragrance to date. 🍋🍋🍋
Would love to hear your views on the Eau Sauvage flankers (Extreme and Parfum) pre and post their recent reformulation. Must admit I have a vested interest in this, as I have the 2010 Extreme and 2015 Parfum, and wondering how they compare to their contemporary versions
Fantastic choices. My personal favorites are Chanel Egoiste and Monsieur de Givenchy. If anyone loves those two I mentioned please, please, please do your best to acquire the Concentree version of Egoiste and the Haute Concentration version of Monsieur de Givenchy....sublime depth and richness of the edt versions. Absolute olfactory Nirvana.
'Anyone recall "Phileas" by Nina Ricci, a short-lived fragrance from the early 1980s? It was my first 'serious' eau de toilette and I was very surprised when it was discontined. (The nearest thing I've been able to find since is "Yatagan" by Caron - itself a great, quite unusual fragrance.) "Green Irish Tweed" is another of my favourites.
Acqua Di Parma Essenza smells great, man. I got a decant and I enjoyed it, but it didn't last long on me as I was expecting. Hopefully they will create an eau de parfum version.
A rather naive question, I'm afraid. Why do perfume houses reformulate classic fragrances periodically? Is it simply because ingredient availability/price changes or is it something more?
I know one of the reasons is certain ingredients were banned. Over the years they've become more and more restrictive on what they deam safe or environmentally friendly. Overtime, many of the fragrances as we knew them in their original structure had to be changed.
@@chrisfairbarn9908 Many thanks, Mr Fairbarn. I suppose some of the ingredients (e.g., ambergris) are now either too costly or prohibited for conservation reasons. As you say, some other (synthetic) fixatives, etc., might have been found to be hazardous.
I recently decided I wanted to have some old favorites back in my collection, and the newest formulation of Kouros is definitely toned down. But fear not, it is still plenty powerful so no need to track down vintage bottles unless you're some kind of maniac. Incidentally, it's one of those fragrances I love though I've never once gotten a compliment on it from a member of the female sex.
My 2 favorites from 2010's are Parfum de Marly Carlisle and Zaharoff Signature Pour Homme. I am not sure when fragrances were realeased, but I know I would rank Fahrenheit as number one for it's decade. I was my go to somewhere around 1990 until 2000.
Great video and I enjoyed it and you should do more of these videos I have Dior homme reformation and it's my 10 out of ten and I like Dior Fahrenheit and Jean Paul gauliter la male and chanel egististe and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed night
Would agree for the most part but I would have put cool water instead of Fahrenheit and Paco rabanne Pour Homme instead of Givenchy gentlemen. Possibly another one instead of acqua di Parma Colonia essenza
Oh come on Mr. Smelly. I've watched your videos for years and I can recall that you aren't that crazy about Azzaro, but you sure do like Polo (green). I'm quite surprised that it didn't make your list.
great review for me .older guy.dan..had some of these 70s 80s.my dads fav was givinchy.f getelman.class in a glass..i had kouros...paca rabane..my fav later on was channel.for men..stillgot a full bottle.went through about 6.every niw and then a xmas .i would get a bottle .out of frazers..(big dept.store in glasgow..)..keep the good work up ..will buy hour frag when its out ...take care..
@@MrSmelly1977 You thought about including it but you didn't! I fail, wrong on your part! An indispensable 1998 that can not be missing in the analogy of perfumery! He scored a before one later as he did opium pour homme de ysl!
Interesting vid. I thought i would be bored, as im not really into classic/vintage frags (apart from Fahrenheit, which is my all time fave frag), but i found myslef curious to know what many of these smelled like :)
Dior es 1964 must be on list , we shall see with baited breath . Yes it is ! 1966 though, my mistake. My dads signature from the early 80s great stuff. HR though , rose note doesn’t work for me, try as I might. For mid late 80s armarni pour homme amongst a sea of kouros
Great video Dan. Enjoyed this, quite a few scents from memory lane. I've been wearing Prada Luna Rossa Black today - a great replacement for Midnight in Paris. A bit "brighter" and more peppery in the opening but great performance and the dry down is, for me, sublime. Still have my original Midnight as well - but I'm a bit precious about that LOL. Still have a bit of Givenchy Gentleman come to that. Doh!
Would you say that Azzaro pour Homme is similar to Floris no 89? Cuz I remember that one being soapy and the girl working there said it's "barbershop" ish
U can't be serious about performance on the Reformulations on most all on this list? Note to the newbie: don't fall into this trap! If you want any of the frags here you better buy a vintage of them or not at all. Otherwise, prepare for a huge disappointment and a growing collection of useless, watered down bottles you'll never use (apart from as a bathroom spray perhaps). Imo every serious reviewer should make a very clear distinction between original/vintage and - mostly useless- Reformulations.
Best? subjective...popularity? the 80s were all about calvin klein, obsession and eternity, drakkar and fahrenheit were masterpieces. 90s is aqua di gio, cool water, and ck1. JPG was Cuba Gold in a gay bottle. I smell the Aventus dna everywhere now, its actually annoying, tons of clones and smell alikes, janitors, waiters, and gas station attendents, plumbers, uber drivers, the guy collecting the shopping carts at walmart, all rock it to work....lol.
Great video mate. Just to ask or even for a future video, is there money to be made by buying fragrances and keeping them predicting they will be sold out or reformulated and then to sell them on years later for a profit??
I agree with Dan here. There can be exceptions with frags that are raved about and then discontinued (Midnight in Paris being a good example) but they are the exception rather than the rule. Also they need to be stored carefully and hopefully last. I have some bottles that are 1980's vintage and some of them smell ok for about 3 minutes now. There are, indeed, more worthwhile investments.
@@Mouxbar you make a good point and midnight in Paris was example I would be making myself. Valentino uomo has been sold out only recently and discontinued . I was thinking of going to buy a few to store away. Also the new issey miyake pulse of the night
Uomo discontinued, sad news :-( A great frag which may be a possible target. Is it different enough from Dior Homme to attract a premium though? I don't know LOL. I guess the worse thing that can happen is you pick up a few bottles, the demand doesn't materialise and you end up with a few years of personal Uomo supply. No bad thing either way :-) Hope it works out.
@@MouxbarTo me you can't compare Valentino uomo intense to Dior Homme Intense haha. DHI is the king !! VUI is good tho . I don't own a full bottle of DHI . I'm afraid the reformulation isn't performance worthy of it's price. So what some people say
Gravitas Pour Homme by Naughton and Wilson Kickstarter link:
www.kickstarter.com/projects/mrsmelly1977/gravitas-pour-homme
Definitely on my order list from November.
Sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot the password. I would love any tricks you can give me.
@Isaiah Frank Instablaster =)
I actually have an original 70s bottle of Givenchy Gentleman and it is DIVINE.
God thanks for Habit Rouge and Pour Monsieur! My two favorites!
I really like this list! So many classics! A couple of my favorites from decades gone by: Polo (70’s), Drakkar Noir (80’s), Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme and Ck Eternity (90’s).
Long live Fahrenheit. Great list. I find your videos very comforting!

Im not sure if this theme of a vid has every been done but I think its a great one! Well done Dan.
Égoiste is my all time favorite, would be great if your next fragrance would go into that direction. There isnt really anything like it out there. I guess the closest would be Trumpers Sandalwood...

The intro alone was worth the view and the like... great as always...
Good luck to your perfume release...
Thanks a lot Carlo!
Absolutely fantastic video Dan! Your fluency goes from strength to strength. Remarkable sir. Wonderful picks in there too.
Love that list, so good frags for the collection. Maybe you forgot Chanel Antaeus. Top classy and masculine scent. Keep up the good work.
Nicely done, fantastic list...so many great ones! Egoiste is a classic. 70's? Jovan Musk, my first fragrance. 2020...Gravitas Pour Homme?
You always introduce creative picks amazing job Mr. Smelly
Thanks Adel.

Great list, Dan. I like most of those besides Kouros
Splendid descriptive and fluent review, top notch mate.
Thanks a lot Paul.
Does Kouros smell similar to Givenchy Gentleman?
+1 for Egoiste ❤❤❤

Interesting topic Smelly. You mentioned the House of Rasasi which is slept on. The list is accurate. Bravo
Thanks a lot Tys!
@@sambomcl I feel its an arabic niche that is yet to bloom. Thanks for your chip in
Great review Dan, happy you have hit your kick starter target will buy on release. Hope can you do your version on chanel pour monsieur with fantastic performance x
Nothing beats the classics! Especially when delivered with a dry British wit.... Lol great video Dan!
Thanks a lot Frank!
GREEN IRISH TWEED! ONE OF MY FAVORITES FROM THE EIGHTIES
My father gave me what was left of his original Monsieur de Givenchy in the fat bottle and black cap, but I only came to appreciate it in the last 3 years. Magical the vintage juice is.

Great unique topic mate ... thumbs up 👍
Thanks Mehdi!
You included my most loved frags..... egoiste.......and green irish tweed, Fahrenheit also.
Nice selection, Dan. Some really classy frags here. Guerlain's Habit Rouge is my favourite from your choices though.
Thanks Muddy.
So, you have sent a sample to the world's finest reviewer!
Fantastic choices. My personal favorites are Chanel Egoiste and Monsieur de Givenchy.

If you were going to cheat you should have mentioned these two fragrances:
Van Cleef & Arpels pour Homme (1978)
Chanel Antaeus (1981)
And Balenciaga Pour Homme?
Outstanding fragrances.

Chanel Egoiste is a masterpiece

But fear not, it is still plenty powerful so no need to track down vintage bottles unless you're some kind of maniac. Incidentally, it's one of those fragrances I love though I've never once gotten a compliment on it from a member of the female sex.
That's because it smells like feces. Some can't sense it, unfortunately, and that's the fans of it
Essenza is my happiest soapy wear
Many would thing Acqua di Gio might be found on a list like this? Solid choices.
Thanks Scott.
Fantastic list, thx, Have a great weekend.cheers
Superb list
My 2 favorites from 2010's are Parfum de Marly Carlisle and Zaharoff Signature Pour Homme. I am not sure when fragrances were realeased, but I know I would rank Fahrenheit as number one for it's decade. I was my go to somewhere around 1990 until 2000.
Thanks AH. I am curious to try the Zaharoff.
@@MrSmelly1977 Zaharoff is still offering a free sample. Here is the link: www.zaharoff.com/pages/reservations
Excellent list! I would also add hugo boss boss number one and chanel antaeus! Love the list!

All of those are available on the sponsors website so...makes sense he would do it this way.
My choices for 80s: Andron by Jovan and Aramis.
great review for me .older guy.dan..had some of these 70s 80s.my dads fav was givinchy.f getelman.class in a glass..i had kouros...paca rabane..my fav later on was channel.for men..stillgot a full bottle.went through about 6.every niw and then a xmas .i would get a bottle .out of frazers..(big dept.store in glasgow..)..keep the good work up ..will buy hour frag when its out ...take care..

Classics !!!!!! So very nice !!!! I still think farehiet stands the test of time !
And jaipur homme of boucheron 1998 !! Super fragance ! Topseller !
I did think about including that one.

Great intro Dan. Any Notino promo code for your followers?
Thanks Fran! No code I’m afraid!
Watching this video wearing chanel pour monsieur 💪
khorifa nasreddine i sprayed egoiste on me , i love this parfume,... i like pour monsieur also
Great list 👍, agree with most but not including Terre D’Hermes... come on!
Interesting vid. I thought i would be bored, as im not really into classic/vintage frags (apart from Fahrenheit, which is my all time fave frag), but i found myslef curious to know what many of these smelled like :)

Great contender for the list actually.
terre d hermes should be in place against dior homme
Oooh controversial. Terre d’Hermes definitely has a strong case for inclusion.

My wife hates Habit a Rouge sadly, it makes her sick to her stomach. It definitely has to be my chemistry.
Would you say that Azzaro pour Homme is similar to Floris no 89? Cuz I remember that one being soapy and the girl working there said it's "barbershop" ish
They are quite different. No89 is more floral and perhaps more soapy. Both are absolutely great.
How do you rate Ted Lapidus an 80s powerhouse
My choice for the 80's: Patou Pour Homme.
I'd love to try that. It is very rare now!
Sonny Crockett agrees.
If you can find it!
Fahrenheit’s the daddy
Great scent!
All the classics I knew were coming except? no Aqua Di Gio ????
D&g pour homme. The worlds best ever Fougère
That joke was priceless, do you write your jokes?
Thanks Michael. Some I make up myself. Some I steal! I stole this one.
@@MrSmelly1977 I think i can tell the jokes you write, they are such funny dry stories its one of my favorite parts of your channel!
@@MrSmelly1977 so the joke is a clone.
Missing Caron and Aramis?
That's becausr aramis sucks
Azzaro PH doesnt last at all. performace is really poor. fragrance is very good, but what use it could be if it does'nt last.
Really? You must have a bad batch, I have recent version and it's a beast lol, one of my favourites
Join my Private Members Club Here: bit.ly/2TUt0Kj for an extra video every week plus more.
Dior Eau Sauvage, yes!!!!! :)
Thanks Serge.
Interesting video no doubt but that Rolex Daytona panda
Captain Scentsible.........My wife told me to stop making things up!.........I wouldn’t mind but I’m not even married 😬
Hedione is also touted to be in aqua Di gio. Just as well cos it’s shite
Very near perfect list!!
Thank you!

Wonder who would win the proverbial "pissing contest" betwixt a couple of youtubers who have newly launched frags! #AskingForAFriend
I have never participated in such a contest but I’d like to think I’d be good at it.
