Good to still see you're around! I remember the days when you started along with Tim (swetcoff), Dan (mymickers rip buddy), and I believe Guinea54 (can't remember or know his name but dude was hilarious!). There were a few others, but man how fast has time flown!

Happy New Year Robes! Man is it great to see your videos popping up in my feed again! The OG and the nose we all trust 😊 Love that Fahrenheit was on your list. I am absolutely shocked that JPG le male wasn't number one or even on the list.
This is one great and versatile list from our guru.

I have a 100ml YSL La Nuit De L'homme edt 2013 batch which I bought for $25 which is 80% full. I have two 2oz bottles which I use but save the 2013 for special occasions
I watched your videos way back!, and you have a wealth of knowledge in this field, and is great to get someone who is in it for the right reasons, credit to you Sir, I used to do this on youtube a while back I loved making videos but like yourself I loved this hobbie , I use to eat sleep ect thinking about fragrances, I tried doing things my own way that was differant to others I did not always do top tens to hit that algorithms, but tried thinking outside the box to be differant, although I never had loads of subscribers but I enjoyed what I was doing, so please doing what you love and I will continue to watch your videos all the best.
I appreciate a video like this. I've been at it for a couple years, but I've matured in my collecting. At first I bought just a bunch of cheapies and and Once I have grown to love peppered in there. Out of about 200 I have maybe 20 that I reach for all the time. Right now I'm focusing more on the Iconic And timeless classics and ones that I just completely love.
Oh man these 20 could easily be converted to my top 10 all time :) This choice says something, awesome awesome taste. Those are fragrances that really put smile on my face
I got Body Kouros , Angel Man , L'Instant Guerlain , Lolita Lompicka , CK Shock because of you all great suggestions . I even warmed up to Burberry London for holidays . I never liked gourmands . Alot has changed , I even went deep into classics . Happy New Years Marc may this year be th best one yet
La unit l’homme to me is the best cologne of all time. Do you think they’ll reformulate it back to the original and give it great performance again?? To me this is the definition of a masterpiece. Thanks for the video.
Fantastic old school list, yet still allrelevant today. Just a testament to how these scents have held up over time - there's a reason brands like Bond have re-released the classics, and it certainly wasn't because of lack of demand for it. Also a reason scents like GIT continue to be stalwarts for Creed, despite the outrageous price these days. Wishing you a HNY for 2023, it's amazing to be seeing your videos once again, certainly brings me and a lot of others much joy. Wishing you a tremendous 2023 and beyond!
I always wondered how reviewers like you with an endless collection find time to wear stuff you actually love (with all the testing you’re also doing). Thanks for sharing and wishing you a happy healthy new year sir.
it's a task to juggle the reviewed items Vs my own wants. I try to take the time to enjoy my fragrances which is a good reason I'm not so consistent with videos.
My top scents for 2022 were Parfums de Marly Layton, Kilian Straight to Heaven, Acqua di Parma Note di Colonia II, Matiere Premiere Cologne Cedrat, Xerjoff Richwood, Amouage Reflection 45, Amouage Jubilation XXV, Kajal Homme, LV Orage, Issey Miyake Noire Ambre, Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu, F&M Amber Absolutely, MFK Grand Soir, MFK Amyris Homme, Boss Bottled Oud, Moresque White Duke, Widian London, Bvlgari Le Gemme Gyan, LV L'Immensite, LV Imagination
The OG LNDL! I miss that scent too. Honestly haven't sprayed my 2015 bottle in a good year. 😔 Interestingly enough, I was out at the shops yesterday and I smelled Fahrenheit edt on someone for the first time ever. 😄 So glad to see that some guys still wear it. But yeah, surprisingly few freshies in the bunch! Appreciate you sharing Marc!
Great video and nice to see you still wearing some of the classics. Have you had a chance to sample Dior Homme Parfum, any thoughts? My top this year have been: Dior Homme Original, Dior Ambre Nuit, Guerlain Ideal Cologne, Floris Honey Oud, Molecule 02.
Marc, great list. I own & love Amber Kiso by DS&Durga. I agree with you saying it is the best from the brand. DS&Durga has a lot of great fragrances but Amber Kiso is the best. I need to try Mango Skin by Vilhelm Parfumerie. I have tried many of their offerings but not Mango Skin. Happy New Year.
I'm 2 years late but i'll still give you my list lol, 10, amouage interlude 9, unique luxury kutay 8, mm by the fireplace 7, initio side effect 6, killian angel share 5, stronger with you intensely 4, dior homme intense 3, dior oud ispahan 2, ysl babycat 1, nishane ani
Very nice list, Marc) 18 fragrances are my favourites too and also I discovered a new name for myself (and thank you for that) - Amber Kiso which I definitely must find and try 😄. And I want to make one little comment about Ciel de Gum: the pronunciation for Gum is like in the word "good" (it's abbreviation for General Universal Store situated in Moscow city centre near the Red Square).
and you make me remember that i gotta use more often my old bottle of la nuite de l'homme (i didnt know the old formulation costs so much on ebay, mine is not for sell too hehe) and of course a*men. Happy to see you bring back this old school fragrances. Happy new year mark
Appreciate the video Marc. For the future lists could you please give us a short summary of what each of these smell like as you name them, since I know you take your time with releasing reviews on them lol
I can’t believe amen is there . I don’t know if mine has gone bad but I feel different to it . When I first got it for Xmas it had me crazy. Dior is n1 . Chanel is not slipping in my humble opinion . I mean égoïste eg and Chanel bleue parfum are masterpieces
L’homme Parfum Intense / L’Intense (depending on when the bottle is as bought..) is one of the most underrated fragrances available… One of my favorites… one of those fragrances that has mass appeal and some unique facets.
I love how the OG Fahrenheit takes center stage again. I mean we have to give it up to this guy. He was the original of everything else! And WHAT an original he was.
This really did feel like an old school list, very throw-back. YSL L'homme Parfum Intense, it got some flack when it was released, not one bit of hype, but I loved it, bought a giant 200 mL bottle. For me, it's still one of my top go-tos when I'm chilling with friends on the weekends. Some of my top scents in 2022 year: Acqua di Gio Profumo by Armani Code Profumo by Armani Man in Black by Bvlgari Ferragamo F Black by Ferragamo Gentlemen EDP by Givenchy Layton Exclusif by PdM Bleu de Chanel Parfum Le Male eau Fraiche Andre by JPG Aqva Marine by Bvlgari Jil Sander for Men by Jil Sander Uomo Signature by Ferragamo among others...
Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit smells exactly like raisin made bread . I used to want to hate it . I gave my bottle away 2015 but its incredible truth be told
My most worn were Xerjoff golden green Pdm carlisle Roberto cavalli uomo silver Ormonde jayne evernia Ormonde jayne man Nishane hacivat Rochas L'Homme Merchant of Venice le fenice Amouage enclave Amouage opus 5
In what way? Just to inform you I am french Canadian so it's not an attempt, I will utilize my native language when I can. Je suis francais, bon merci.

was my wedding scent in 2012
@@wazzabanzook5028 that was one of the best years for it. So disappointing that they could ruin this “masterpiece” of a cologne.
@MALINOIS77 glad I still have the bottle with about 70% , I use it like 3 times a year , too scared to finish it, I usually just sniff the nozzle 🤣
@@wazzabanzook5028 hahahaha!!! I would too.
I think once scents get reformulated, I don't think there's much of chance to return to glory as you say.
Great list 👌 thanks for sharing Marc!
Thanks for watching!

L’Homme Intense is really great. It’s discontinued and only have a small amount left so I use it sparingly
DHI rules... hell yeah :)

Happy new year Marc , classic Robes list , you haven’t changed at all 😂 surprised not to se Le Male 😂 all the best.
Happy new year! Not sure if me not changing at all is a good thing or not lol

Thank you for stopping by as usual! Come to think of it, I haven't smelled Fahrenheit on another person in a good while too.
Fahrenheit smells like straight up gasoline, not sure how anyone likes it.

I do own DHP and love it, I don't wear it as much as DHI but I think it's just as good. Beautiful top list!
Marc, great list. I own & love Amber Kiso by DS&Durga. I agree with you saying it is the best from the brand. DS&Durga has a lot of great fragrances but Amber Kiso is the best. I need to try Mango Skin by Vilhelm Parfumerie. I have tried many of their offerings but not Mango Skin. Happy New Year.

Crazy coincidence. I'm wearing my 2014 DHI today
You smell great!
A-Men is still one of my all time favorite fragrances!🔥🔥🔥
💯
I could be wrong, but I believe the YSL Parfum Intense is simply renamed L’homme L’intense. I absolutely love it. Great choice and Happy New Year!
Thanks for sharing!! It was renamed but also has been out of stock for over a year on the YSL site here in Canada.
@@robes08 ahh sad to see, hopefully it’s available at discounters or something along those lines. I’ll need another bottle some day.
This really did feel like an old school list, very throw-back.

Brought me back to the ollllllld days with this list. Shout out to Hiro 😂
Shout out to my Canadian brother!
Wouldn’t the juice for that OG YSL LNDL be completely out of date and spoilt by now?
not at all. I have some scents from the 90's still in great shape!
Only in hot lit up storage
Doir Homme Intense is my number one of all time
Very solid choice
Top list. Top 2022 : Tom Of Finland Etat libre d’Orange, Hermes Basilic pourpre, Memory Hotel Bohemian Soul. Prada Cargo de Nuit.
Some pretty solid scents there!
The biggest surprise was no Le Male or Le Male flankers!
True, I don't wear it as much as I used to.
