I wore ombre leather 3 days ago to a party and I can still smell it on the seat belt that I was wearing that night. The fragrance must have rubbed off my shirt onto the seat belt and I was getting wiffs of it while I was driving 3 days later! That is beast mode.
So glad to see you give L'Instant de Guerlain some love, it's one of my absolute favorites. I love Encre Noir and wear it often. And I just purchased Joop! Homme because so many reviewers don't like it, and even in its current formulation, I think it's wonderful! Greatt list, looking forward to picking up Altimir as well.
Antaeus is a beast. Not everyone will appreciate it so handle with care especially if you’re going to be in a confined space. Personally I love it but it has to be the right occasion - late night lounge with people you know is best bet.
Same for me. Seems like yesterday. I wore Antaeus and Kouros in the 80s. I loved Kouros back then. Very strong fragrance. Now I absolutely hate the stuff.
I do really appreciate the fact that you include different takes for long-lasting scents :) !! I didn’t expect that Bijan or Lapidus . You should do a segment for rarities 👌
2 powerhouses great for clubbing AND romantic date nights! Very versatile and l haven't met a woman whose eyes didn't roll back when she got a whiff of Ultra Male.
Nice list Steven. I have tried Encre Noir Sport, very nice an lighter than the one you showed. Azzaro Wanted by Night is delicious and truly long lasting, it remembers me Carolina Herrrera 212 VIP Black. Now Ombré Leather is my favorite from the list, the raspberry note with the leather is perfectly well blend. Warm regards and many thanks for your video, all the best Lazaro Broitman
Steven my friend YOU ROCK! I almost fell off my stool when you pulled out #4 Bijan! Took me wayyy back to 1993 in the US Navy (at 19 years old) aboard USS Cape Cod AD-43 my ship! My friend & fellow shipmate put me onto that frag & I fell in love with it then & been buying it every since! A CLASSIC & it will always remind me of an exciting time in my life!
Antaeus is the best of the bunch, hands down. I miss fragrances like that, Kouros, Jules... nowadays people just want to buy candies they can share with their girlfriends
Hi Steve, would you consider reviewing some of these discontinued perfumes: Gucci Rush Gucci Envy Carven Homme These are some of my favs which i used to wear in the 90s and early 2000s
I agree to the majority of the list but I surely would add these three picks: Givenchy Gentleman Edp, Armani Code Profumo and the beast himself Dior Homme Parfum ! ;)
Speaking on older fragrances....surprised you haven't reviewed Burberry EDT for men....I used to wear back in early 2000's lol....and my wife loves it still. Its cheap now, you should check it out if you haven't yet. Keep up the great content man. 🙏
Great list! I own Wanted by Night and definitely agree with your assessment of it. I’d love to find and try out Guerlain’s Lidge sometime. I don’t own Ombré Leather but I do know from a sample just how long it last. Thanks Steven!
Steven which one is more appealing encre noir or encre noir extreme??? I own a bunch of colones been collecting for years as well but never tried encre noir?
@@georgekontalexis8436 I own this and wore it the other day.It is smells a little boozy and spicey on my skin.But, not overbearing and there is a little sweetness to it.My wife really likes it so that's a plus.
the first ever fragrance i used to wear was joop homme, but that was before i REALLY started getting into fragrances like i am to this day, now i have 20+ bottles of designer fragrances that i love and will always buy more of when i run out
That's a beautiful list Steven thank you for sharing, it's nice to see Joop! Pour Homme as it was one of my first ever fragrances for a few years when I wore it as my signature scent and yes this still is a beast, even to the point where it gets too dense and cloiny for me, I prefer First Instinct from A&F that reminds me very much of this one. Required Ombre Leather myself recently but still needs to post a review of that on my Insta, for me easily one of the best leather fragrances on the market! and you gave me a few new ideas as well so thanks a lot. Maybe you can review the new Pegasus Exlusif if you haven't done that already ;) thanks again I love watching your reviews. What would you say is the beste Autumn fragrance from your line Navitus and how do you feel about TF Beau de Jour? Take care and stay safe.
I'm not a fan of all those powerhouses from the 80's like Kouros, Antaeus,Zino Davidoff, Santos de Cartier,Drakkar Noir etc but longevity was not an issue in the 80's. Now we consider 6-8 hours as good longevity.
Yeah you can find it for some good prices online on Facebook groups. But as far as legit stores , sephora is $50 off regular price so it's worth it. It's an amazing scent. The trick is to buy the sample pack for $72, ombre leather will come with it :)
Have you tried Joop! Le Bain? I love it so much. It’s unisex. I have recently ordered Wow Intense because I heard it’s awesome, but the Joop Femme I cant take it at all!
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I get better longevity from ysl Y edp and Versace Eros edp than Ultramale. Must’ve been the sample I got since I don’t own a full bottle of ultramale yet. Any idea when the Navitus discovery set 1 will come back in stock?
Hey brotha. Been a minute. This is a new channel but I been a fan since you were reviewing in the living room in front your book shelf. Can I ask a question? Is there any pattern or reason for this new reorganization of the frags behind you. Looks lovely. But I don't see a trend. Maybe make a video about your collection or a general tour of you collection room. That would be awesome.
Hey Steven, I think that Joop is really strong, my brother used to wear it. The smell filled the place, it was nice but he used to over spray so it became overwhelming. I agree with you in that some substances are taken out of fragrances because they cause allergies. I"m just wondering why the price is that high for fragrances made of mostly synthetic ingredients Looking forward to your next video. Love from hot Hellas🇬🇷!
I found Wanted by Night to masculine for me ( at first) . By changing my application, by applying only 1 spray on the back of my neck and another behind 1 ear, I am not overwhelmed by it and now appreciate the fragrance and what it does. My Joop is an excellent air freshener lol. I must get Ultra Male after having a sample, soooo sweet!🍬🍐
Great list as always Sir. No Dior Homme Parfum?? It's probably the longest lasting designer that i own, 1 Million Absolutely gold, Black Orchid, Opium edp, Kouros, Shaghaf Oud and La Yuqawam are just behind (I don't talk about others that you mentioned already)
Antaeus FTW ! As a happy late 90s formulation, I can say that it is a 1-spray fragrances that has insane projection and stays forever :) BTW for me the only citrus that can actually be worn during summer and lasts forever is the Eau Sauvage 2017 PP by Dior
Steve can you share your Encre Noire batch code pls, mine doesn't last long. Do you have Chanel Sycomore, this one is way stronger than encre noire. What's your view?
Wanted by Night is KILLER! I have gifted to family members, and bought myself the 5oz bottle. Crazy good stuff. Drives my wife bonkers (in a happy way)
Its Autumn so Encre Noir A l' Extreme is my go to and this lasts and lasts like a beast on me, I do not have LIDGE but I have the reformulation L'instnat de Guerlain Pour Homme EDP 2015 made by the same perfumer which also lasts really really well on me.
@@hamzahbholat7816 ahh I will have to check, if you have issues with yours you will have to probably let it oxidise first aka get some oxygen in there and let it sit for a month or two.
@@CH-yp5by thanks for your information. I don't have it yet. Some are complaining about performance issues. I have experienced exactly like you said with other frags that don't perform. I use them a couple of sprays and let them sit for a month or longer.
Altimir is a great fragrance. It has a similarity to Million, but enough of its own characteristics to justify buying it. Cheap too if I remember correctly.
They ruined Angel Men. The last bottle I bought I returned because it barely lasted two hours. That Altamir sounds delicious. I might have to try that.
For me I think Paco rabanne ultraviolet purple one is still strong and long lasting over hear in the uk if your lucky enough like I was go one of the original ones and it covered where I slept and my Girlfriend said why have I spray my pillow and I said I didn't so that was be one of my top long lasting fragrance
i would have to disagree with the statement that fragrances are less performing now try Montale fragrances they are beasts they last a good 18 hrs and even then i have showered and can still smell them on me strongly. A beast of a fragrance house.
When you said, “if you took something of value from this video”, I was expecting you to follow up with, “please put it back right now”! If that we’re at all possible, I would have reached in and taken that Amouge bottle over your right shoulder!
Ombré Leather is the truth! I love the lasting scent. Reminds me of department stores during Christmas when I was a kid. LOL
I wore ombre leather 3 days ago to a party and I can still smell it on the seat belt that I was wearing that night. The fragrance must have rubbed off my shirt onto the seat belt and I was getting wiffs of it while I was driving 3 days later! That is beast mode.
Oh wow! I agree that the performance is amazing! Thank you for stopping by!
I was smitten by Azzaro Wanted by Night the second I smelled. Very pleased with it's performance and versatility.
I love Chanel Anteaus. It’s super masculine. I feel 50% more masculine when I wear it. It’s beastly, 2 sprays is all you need
Just love Anteus ❤, dark, classic, elegant, perfect for dress up occasions
This video found me getting well 😃
I couldn't be happier to hear that!
Get well soon!
Good to know Carlos 👍
Bff? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Get well soon Carlos
So glad to see you give L'Instant de Guerlain some love, it's one of my absolute favorites. I love Encre Noir and wear it often. And I just purchased Joop!

How about YSL Y EDP and Armani Code Profumo?
Awesome video btw, Steven! You get a like from me! 👍🙂
Antaeus is a beast. Not everyone will appreciate it so handle with care especially if you’re going to be in a confined space. Personally I love it but it has to be the right occasion - late night lounge with people you know is best bet.
First Bought Antaeus 35 yrs ago ....... bloody hell, I’m old when did that happen
Same for me. Seems like yesterday. I wore Antaeus and Kouros in the 80s. I loved Kouros back then. Very strong fragrance. Now I absolutely hate the stuff.
@@MG63 Same! Kouros, due to criminal reformulation, is very different to how great it was back in the 80’s.
found you bc of real men real style, you are such an honest and straightforward UA-camr, love your content
Antaeus, Bel Ami, Aramis, Tobacco Vanille, Dior Homme Parfum, Armani Code Profumo, One Milliion, Bogart One Man Show Gold
I have and love- Ombré Leather, Ultra Male 💝 I will be getting Azzaro Thank you as always Great video..👌🏼👏🏼
I do really appreciate the fact that you include different takes for long-lasting scents :) !! I didn’t expect that Bijan or Lapidus . You should do a segment for rarities 👌
Armani Code Profumo i must say is one of the most long lasting fragrances i came across.
The longest lasting bottles I own are Bentley for Men Intense and YSL Y EDP.
Forever
Great list! Wanted by night is good and i would add profumo
Joop is a super beast
Wanted by Night and Ultra Male are awesome. I wear WBN more often.
Thanks for watching!
2 powerhouses great for clubbing AND romantic date nights! Very versatile and l haven't met a woman whose eyes didn't roll back when she got a whiff of Ultra Male.

This was a great list. I would add Givenchy Gentleman EDP. Thanks again!
Antaeus is the best of the bunch, hands down. I miss fragrances like that, Kouros, Jules... nowadays people just want to buy candies they can share with their girlfriends
Yes ... Jules was also really great!!! 😍😍😍
Antaeus gets an instant like from me 😍
Hi Steve, would you consider reviewing some of these discontinued perfumes:
Gucci Rush
Gucci Envy
Carven Homme
These are some of my favs which i used to wear in the 90s and early 2000s
I just got my ombre leather about hour ago, and its no joke, very powerful
Hi Steven.You picked out some of my favorites in this list.Thanks for the video.
I really love your videos, always learning more and more.... Thank you so much for such a excellent reviews and videos.💯💯💯
Greetings from Brazil! You are simply the best! Very nice video!
I agree to the majority of the list but I surely would add these three picks:
Givenchy Gentleman Edp,
Armani Code Profumo and the beast himself Dior Homme Parfum !
;)
Thank you for tuning in!

I thought Kouros would appear on the list.
I’m happy to see Antaeus on it, I love its castoreum.
Omg Kouros reminds me of a New York pissy subway smell in the 80’s. So glad I sprayed it home and not at work.
Nice video Steven, but no YSL Kouros in this top10 ? It's such a beast in terms of longevity!
Great list! I own Wanted by Night and definitely agree with your assessment of it. I’d love to find and try out Guerlain’s Lidge sometime. I don’t own Ombré Leather but I do know from a sample just how long it last. Thanks Steven!
Steven which one is more appealing encre noir or encre noir extreme??? I own a bunch of colones been collecting for years as well but never tried encre noir?
Great 📹 and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
What are your thoughts on Victor and Rolfs Spice bomb extreme?Does it also last long?Thinking of buying it.
This video did find me well.
Nice!
@@Redolessence Hi Steven could you please review trussardi uomo the red?

with 2 hours of projection..
its sad too see that companies just are after quick money grabs they use the same bottle with waterd down juice its a shame
good list. good review 👍🏻
Great review and very much needed!
Once again great list brother love the OG Amen and ultra male 👍
Awesome list Steven...love the videos! Now i have to but Ombre Leather 😉
You won’t regret it
That's an awesome list! I've heard great things about YSL opium pour homme. Have you smelled that before Steven?
Yeah, I own 2 of this collection.
Thanks Steven, great list.
Nice video Steven!
Antaeus is to die for! I think it's elegance is simply unsurpassable.
As always excellent video.
Ive been waiting since 2014 for you to update the list 😍
i’m conflicted, i want either A*Men or Azzaro Wanted by Night. I’m not sure which to get, any opinions?
Just bought a sample of ombre leather. I'm excited to smell it finally!!
1.7oz is 72$ at sephora right now. It's my favorite frag. I have 3 bottles lol People compliment me 10+ hours after applying 😳
@@fabianbotello4917 def picking it up if it smells good. Haven't seen it that cheap anywhere!
Yeah you can find it for some good prices online on Facebook groups. But as far as legit stores , sephora is $50 off regular price so it's worth it. It's an amazing scent. The trick is to buy the sample pack for $72, ombre leather will come with it :)
nice list. you should do one involving designer luxuries there are some beast in the genre (coromandel).

Ombre leather is fantastic. Certainly acquired taste but I love it.
Is the reformulated Ultra Male (Puig 2017-2020) still performing (smell/projection/scillege/longevity)?

What's good my man, hey I have been looking for a review on grand steel by Express no luck, have u heard of it, and if so do you recomend it?
Tom Ford Ombré Leather is solid. Spray at night and still smells in the morning.
Antaeus is amazing!
Thanks Steven! I still need to get my hands on Ultra Male.
Ombré Leather gets me a ton of compliments.
I'm really loving it.
Redolessence sometimes those ladies at the Macy’s counter hit one out of the park. Glad I listened to her recommendation.

Is carner barcelona el born still your fav smelling scent if not what is
Try Giorgio Beverly Hills For Men... It lasts like 24+ hours. No joke. AND it's been reformulated! I can't even imagine the original.
Nice list! Have you tried Catalyst by Halston? It’s surreally long lasting and bombastic. Sadly it’s discontinued, expensive, and hard to find.
Steve can you share your Encre Noire batch code pls, mine doesn't last long.
Do you have Chanel Sycomore, this one is way stronger than encre noire. What's your view?
Love Antaeus i was 18 when i first smelled it i am still using it i am 44 now.
Great Recommendations 💥💥👌🏽

I love joop vintage one I wore it in Jr high school 🏫 lol all the girls loved it and vintage cool water was bangers back then good old days
Altimir is a great fragrance. It has a similarity to Million, but enough of its own characteristics to justify buying it. Cheap too if I remember correctly.
Love Antaeus ... it was one of my first fragrances. Bought the splash because it was a little cheaper than the spray !!!.
It has been a long time since i have watched your flags. ☺️
Great list BUT you must watch the recent Guerlain tribute review from the Fragrance Apprentice, if you haven't already.
Good collection now I wanna buy them
I have wanted by night and angel man both are great and long lasting.
Great vid bud
Is there a Niche version of long lasting ones?
This is a great list
They ruined Angel Men. The last bottle I bought I returned because it barely lasted two hours. That Altamir sounds delicious. I might have to try that.
Great video bro
I love Tom Ford Ombre Leather
Personally I find Fleur Du Male, and Tea Rose, to be among the longest lasting fragrances I've tried.
I miss Fleur Du Male so much. It was one of my favorites.
@@NorthernLadMSP You can find it on ebay. Expensive, but the small bottles and samples are affordable and worth it for nostalgia.
Worth watching..
