    Major props for adding Grey Flannel to your list. It's a masterpiece. I still can't understand all the hate it gets. It's a clean, soapy, and austere fragrance which could have easily been part of Prada's Infusion line or something like that.

      I love Grey Flannel. I love fougères for there earthiness! They are instantly grounding and sober. These days they are an alpha persona though, or for the independent rebel type guy. He's not the conformist and remains sensible around b.s.

    Don't sleep on Grey Flannel. It is a timeless, classic, masculine scent that sets itself apart from today's overly floral male scents!

    Loving the Grey Flannel inclusion. You can pick it up for around $15, it is unlike anything else, and the dry down is incredible. Spot on about the iris, but also narcissus and violet leaf, and it simmers down into this warm but spicy cedar scent.

    All of a sudden I've got an urge to buy a bottle of Grey Flannel. My dad used it back in the 80s I guess, but I just never really bothered checking it out. It's dirt cheap though, you can find bottles for like less than $20 I think.
    There's a lot of good cheapies out there, you'd be surprised what you can pick up for just $30 or less.

    Another great video! Props to you for giving Grey Flannel a shout out! I absolutely agree that it’s a great scent that gets a bad rap. I knew, of course Encre Noire would be you’re number one. I enjoyed your story in the other video you mentioned when you used to wear it in class. Vetiver is one of my favorite notes and Encre Noire a gorgeous expression of the note in all of it’s iterations, a l’extreme, sport and the original of course. Bravo Mademoiselle Lorson! I’m curious to know your feelings on Chanel Sycamore both on it’s own and in comparison to Encre Noire. A few budget scents I really enjoy are Rasasi Daarej, PS Fine Cologne and Brut lol

      As a chef of French cuisine, I had to first master traditional methods and recipes before branching out, I can imagine a similar approach in your field, as well. I love classic perfume, being able to pick out all the wonderful citrus, spices and herbs, grounded by exotic woods and other tasteful fixatives, some of which transport me to lost loved ones and convey happy memories of my youth. Much like grandmas cooking, or the smell of the orchard in her backyard. For some reason Bal D’Afrique reminds me of my mother..

    In another youtube video titled "The worst fragrance reactions ever" by Gent Scents, in comment section a lot of people me tioned "Grey Flannel" as the worst when it comes to negative reaction. But I love that scent.
    I bought "Bentley Intense" after listening and reading so much praise about it. But to be honest I don't like it. At least not until now. I will give it more try.
    Same with "Davidoff Zino" until now I dont like it but will give it more time.

    Baldessarini Ambre used to be my go to romantic evening fragrance. I original bought a bottle in a fragrance kiosk in Berlin when it was first released (2007 i believe). My wife loved it. Wore it all the time when we were dating and to the wedding. They removed the oak moss which sunk the longevity and prices have gone up over the past three years. It was worth it when you could snag a bottle for like $30. But, I would save the money now and get maybe Halloween man x instead or even Armani code or a designer dupe of YSL La Nuit.

I feel Mr. Polge added sweetness to smooth it out a lot more while at the same time he kept it balanced enough that it’s not “too sweet”

However the extreme is much more rounded which some people prefer. I go back and forth as far as my favorite version. I think you can’t go wrong either way.
