I have a QUORUM EDT spray that says "Eau De Toilette for men" in the front and just "PUIG" at the bottom of the bottle, at the back says "test bottle, not for sale" ............... it definitely has a lot of Oakmoss, tobacco, and woods in this bottle. QUORUM is the most beloved, and worn fragrance among my favorites colognes.
First of all thank you. Second, where have you been? I still get youtube recommending your videos to me, I watch them thinking 'all of these fragrances have now gone UP in value' 🤣
@@RaffiDiranBassclef Actually I am working on a video... I mean It's only been like 4 years since I made one... LOL!!! Obviously it won't be anything ground breaking but I am planning on finally coming back and making some videos again... Glad to know I am missed... ^_^
I ordered Bijan for men. I really liked and was wearing it proudly. Until one day while driving my daughter in the car she kept asking what smelled like rotten radishes? At first I couldn’t figure out what she was talking about then I realized it was my cologne and she agreed. Now I can’t get that thought out of my head 🤣🤣
And just where is Oscar De La Renta Pour Lui??? Haha that is an awesome frag and the reform is respectable given the ingredients that in it that couldn't make the cut!! And Paul Sebastian Fine cologne should have had a shout out !, Really enjoyed this line up! great choices! I couldn't agree more with you on Giorgio. That open is almost to much!
I wanted to include it but the last bottle of pour lui i had suffered from really poor longevity and had a 'thin' feeling, i haven't bought it again since. PS fine cologne I haven't actually tried yet, but will have to get my nose on it, thank you 🙏
@@RaffiDiranBassclefI like modern bottles of pour Lui but haven't smelled a vintage. I have a newer one and a mid-range one. Love it. Now I want to track down a vintage
Last but not least that Super Fragrances is just that. Freaking super. Is that really how you pronounce the house? You sounded convincing 🤔. Great video ✌🏻
LOVE the robot pickup lines, Raffi! I had a year 2 bottle of Fahrenheit in college that I have a vague memory of packing away a half used 100 oz bottle but that I haven't seen in over 30 years - I still maintain a glimmer of hope that it's been sitting in a box somewhere in my parents house and that we'll be reunited some time soon. It was my first "heavy hitter" fragrance, after getting through high school on Brut then Drakkar Noir. Really wish I'd had the foresight to save a splash bottle of vintage DN. Vintage Azzaro PH remains at the top of my wish list. Santos IS the truth. I have a Concentree that I save for cool weather and I use a current-formulation bottle of the EDT like an Eau in warm weather. You did inspire me to get an Anucci backup bottle, and a good thing as the stock seems to be drying up at my usual grey market sites.
Good choices....I love love love Giorgio to this day. It may be a little dated to some, but it's so different from all the new stuff out there, it feels special/unique. By the way, 'hey baby, do you like my sideburns?' is still my signature pick-up line...all kinds of action with that line.
Excellent! Jacomo de Jacomo was my signature scent in the late 80s when I was 18 to 21 y/o. Had been wearing Drakaar but so was everyone else so I found this. Totally defined that era for me. Women loved it and would want to wear my shirt the next day to keep smelling it. Soon my male friends saw the light and one by one they started wearing it too. The modern reform is not nearly as smooth and sexy as original. More of a clove bomb now without the nuances that made the vintage so amazing.
Agree, I had a small sample of the original it was way smoother and you didn't need to wait to get to the mids to try and enjoy it. I really do wonder if the cheapening of a classic by reformulation is worth it financially because it's putting nails into the coffin of the product that many would still gladly pay the right amount of money for if they were getting the quality juice, I guess we'll never know 🤷♂️
Pareelooys, Raffi. Nice suggestions and looking forward to sniffing these. I have to strongly recommend Balenciaga Pour Homme. Fabulous masterpiece. Prices getting higher but smaller bottles are still reasonable in the usual sites. Great video as always.
Pareelooys!! I've been hesitent to grab them in the past, the prices are super high, and the old school Balenciagas don't come up very often...one day 🤣
Indeed. Prices are high but only getting higher. Worth it to even get those small 30 ml bottles as they are not as high in price when available. It will happen one day, akhper.

You are a BAAAAADDDD ass! Thanks for the recs. I will look for the Aigner. I’ve also ordered the Anucci.
Dude I love your videos... They are not only very informative but so G'damn entertaining... Top notch as always my good man...

Lmao the farkle, awesome stuff Raff, gotta play that robot voice over the mic at a supermarket lol
Thanks Gaz and thanks for the Bijan. It's been superb with the recent weather we've had, crisp, cold but sunny
Great video greetings from Melbourne Australia
Thank you my fellow Melbournian 🙏

1:28 - 😂
Definitely gonna check out some of these. Great video Raffi.
Thanks LV! Happy hunting!
Farkle, the look regarly used on The bold and beautiful.
YES!!

Thanks Jonathan, yes Aigner is pronounced 'En-Yay'
I was accidentally gifted the Bijan as a kid. Never liked it until I turned 35. True story!
Groovy list.
Some I have, owned and some I've had my eye on.
Yes, the vintage Quorum is far superior but, I do love the modern formulation.
oh yes, the modern reform is perfect if you want more of a clean soapy vibe
LOVE the robot pickup lines, Raffi!

I have maybe 35ml left of a fahrenheit from the early 90s, still fantastic! Robots have no shame so it's only right they do those pickup lines 🤣
