Just blind bought Sandalwood from Trumpers because you two are always talking about it and WOW!!! That is an incredible fragrance for how much it costs. I paid around $40(£31-32) and it is so complex and mesmerizing.
Sampling Trumper Sandalwood as we speak.
Incredibly amazing! Intoxicating!!
Love you guys so much!🥰🐰🐴
I have been scouring UA-cam for reviews of Santal by Floris, after I tried a sample. There aren’t many. Then, by accident, I find a good review here. It makes me feel a lot better about my purchase. Thanks.
Love it. It was my first ‘expensive’ fragrance
I love it too and purchased a well priced sample pack of Floris containing Santal, JF, No. 89 and Elite all 15ml spray bottles.
It is thanks to Joe and Dan for bringing the house to my attention and I really trust their noses. I have also purchased the stunning Honey Oud and Bergamotto Di Positano from Floris.
I will be trying out Geo. F Trumper's colognes next 👍
@@ez_scents Funnily enough, I have Paisley and Sandalwood by Geo. F. Trumper - the fragrance, body wash and soap bar. Very nice.
I love Spanish Leather by Trumper's.
Many of these houses were quite new to me so I appreciate the effort you have made to bring them together and outline their qualities. I have Foris Honey Oud which is an absolute masterclass in gentleman's fragrance blending. I feel like I have to dress up to wear it. I also have Lush (Gorilla Fragrance) Cardamon Coffee. This stuff is unapologetically bonkers. For the first half hour after spraying its complete anarchy with the two principle notes in a flat out fist fight. Later, the coffee dies back and the Cardamon and spices take to centre stage as this juice moves to more of a body scent and it becomes lovely. Like a spicy, festive Christmas with mulled wine and mince pies.
Honey Oud is beautiful. Lush do some fairly crazy fragrances!
Totally agree about Trumper's Sandalwood Cologne, an all-time great fragrance. But chaps, Breath of God??? Really? I couldn't wash it off quickly enough! I would have to shout out to Cech & Speak No.88 EdT as opposed to the EdP. One of the greatest gentleman's fragrances of all time IMO.
I love No 88. I didn't know there was an EDT. Just cologne and EDP I think?
Floris Santal is THE best sandalwood I have come across. Amazing scent. That said, Geo. Trumper's sandalwood is in the mail. Excited to smell it.
Enjoy. The Trumper is more of an out and out sandalwood that the Floris
some time ago i discovered Floris and i became obsessed with their product line. I probably own more from their lineup than i do from any other house. fantastic stuff indeed. now if only they were still selling mahon leather.
I just discovered your channel the other day and enjoy your reviews! I was a signature scent type of guy until last fall. I'm learning and reviewing fragrances like you do is very helpful. I opted to start with the classics and really like history and fragrances from the House of Guerlain, however I realize that I'm late to the party. Therefore, I'm trying to learn as much as I can about how to find vintage fragrances. Also, I'm learning that, as you indicated in this review, the niche houses are where we find perfumers who are not driven solely by profit. Thank you for your reviews! I'll be sure to sample fragrances from the houses you featured in this and other reviews.
Thanks! You’re at the start of a great journey! Try and have the confidence to trust your nose wherever it leads you.
@@WaftsfromTheLoft Thank you! I am remembering fragrances and notes that I've smelled in the past and learning to appreciate new ones. For example, vetiver is a note that I've discovered and am learning to appreciate in it's many varieties. I'm looking forward to creating the spring section of my fragrance wardrobe.
Can we have a feature on floris perfumes,keep up the good work guys love your enthusiasm
In this line you should also mention Czech & Speake. The "Neroli" and the "Vetiver Vert" are super nice!
No 88 outstanding too
How have I only just found this channel?!
My Fav things British-as an American 1) The best Rock and Roll is British. 2) Fish and Chips are amazing. 3) Rachel Weisz 4) James Bond ... Daniel Craig...that's all I got.....oh and Jude Law is pretty great
I believe James Bond actually wore Trumpers Eucris hair dressing.I read somewhere but I can,t remember where.
Thank you for reviewing Beaufort London specially Coeur de Noir which my favourite perfume of all the perfumes that have across my nose I also love Vi Et Armis...smoky frags just drive insane !
OwnDepths CdN is certainly smokey! Thanks for watching!
Tried Lush on your superb video recommendation and I couldn’t get a feel for breath of god but maybe I should have given it longer. While I was in the shop though I tried Rentless and it’s a really classy fragrance. It’s patchouli based and is quite sweet but not your normal sickly sweet smell, there’s a slight boozy quality which I love. You guys should try Tank Battle. Very very challenging fragrance which I’d be interested to get your thoughts on if you do anything on Lush again. Based on the inside of a water tank and your first impression is it’s too much but after 10 to 20 mins it settles and it’s challenging but in a good way. Not describing it too well but give it try people

Hello ,
I just want to ask about a perfume which was available in the nineties, I can’t remember it’s name, but I recall its package, the package had windmill with British rural home , if you have any idea about such description, please notify me
Have you guys reviewed Milano Cento and if not, will you?
Not yet, but it's on our radar.
Great video. Have you guys tried anything from Laboratory Perfumes? Gorse and Tonka are pretty good. Atlas is okay. I'm interested in trying Samphire from them...
lrbrugby samphire is great, has a fresh juniper vibe to it
Please tell me how Santal is compared to Green Irish tweed .. can It replace it, because the price differ a lot?
It's completely different in terms of smell, but I suppose it could be worn for similar occasions. In simple terms, Santal is slightly brighter, and more summery.
Floris Santal is pretty similar to the great but discontinued Gucci Envy for Men. But it veers just a bit greener.
You guys should have a go at Opus X by Amouage. Great vids by the way!
MrKjellqvist thanks! I love Amouage, I’ve got 8 full bottles, by the only library collection I own is opus vi. Is opus x the Rose?
Wafts from The Loft yes that would be the crazy 🌹
James Bond did not wear a Eucris fragrance. In one s ene there was a bottle of a Eucris HAIR CARE product next to the sink. Nor did Bond wear Floris No. 89, although his creator, Ian Flemming certainly did. In fact, James Bond didn't wear any fragrance in any of the novels nor any of the movies.
Breath of God or Sandalwood Geo F trumper, wich is better?
They are VERY different! Sandalwood is much ‘easier’ to wear
@@WaftsfromTheLoft Yeah maybe a better question was Floris Santal or Sandalwood, is the diffence big or is it just in freshness, Santal being a fresh option of Sandalwood and Geo f Trumpers creamier
They are also very different (though closer than BOG). The Floris is, as you suggest, fresher, the grass quality combines with cardamom and clove for something quite uplifting. I tend to think of it as a warm weather fragrance. The Trumper is more potent, and the sandalwood in it much more dominant; thick and creamy.
@@WaftsfromTheLoft Thank you for replying, love watching your vids! I have just one more question, when you would pick one, Caron third man or Floris Santal, as a better fragrance overall, in your opinion. Thanks, you have a new fan from Croatia! Peace
@@CroElectroStile The Floris feels a 'little' more modern, whereas 3eme homme is a little more classic. But, you can pick the Caron up for quite a bit cheaper. Personally, I would pick the Caron.
Floris nº 89
First time I smelled breath of god it was a no, the opening is wonky, hours later smelled again its wonderful deep warm so went back to the shop and bought the 100ml bottle
Great video, as always. You guys are certainly a refined and knowledgeable duo! I have a huge soft spot for both 4160 Tuesdays and Papillon artisan Perfumes. Anubis is a favourite of mine and is quite possibly Liz's magnum opus. Just out of curiosity, how come you guys didn't mention Atkinsons?
LucidScents thanks! I think I still prefer tobacco Rose to Anubis, and possibly Salome, although I do find it hard to find occasion to wear the latter! We did miss some out, Penhaligon’s being the other obvious one. We thought the video would be long enough as it is and, all things considered, these are the houses we most wanted to include. Thanks for watching!
longevity sir

The British make awful food but fantastic purfum
Ha! It has gotten a lot better!
Ormonde Jayne..? 🤨
I TAKE IT THESE GUYS DONT LIVE IN CENTRAL LONDON..
Jo does.
Best of British? No Czech & Speake, no Penhaligon’s? .. c’mon guys what happened here?
Ivor the Engine we mentored Penhaligon’s but as we’ve said in other videos, we think they’ve gone wayward recently. C&S have some good offerings but we felt they just weren’t as good as the houses we’ve mentioned. Just our opinion.
Wafts from The Loft lost all credibility for me I’m afraid ..
I love Penhaligon's fragrances 😍 I have Amaranthine (with a banana leaves) Vaara, Peoneve, Malabah I had Tralala, Iris Prima, Gardenia, Bluebell and a lot others
I like very much this brand :)
Honest question. How can you have the best of British without discussing Roja? Most definitely the first brand I think of.
@@WaftsfromTheLoftI agree about C & S. No 88 and Neroli both stunning but everything else overpriced and under standard.
