EDT Ep.241: Givenchy Very Irresistible For Men Sealed Box
Can I buy one of ur polo green
This is the 2nd Fierce. The first bottle didn’t have a sticker of the man’s chest that’s visible inside the bottles shown in your video.
Can I please buy the polo green from you
Did maceration change it in any significant way?
Damn son your killing me with these prices hahaha , good on ya Steve a very happy holidays to you and yours buddy 🎄✌️🙏
Appreciate it. Same to you, happy holidays.
Thanks for the video today. I enjoy them very much. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
I seen the cap on that Fahrenheit 😍 I'm swooning
*saw
You're right about the 90s Drakkar. My fav era for it too. Great to see Trophee in that set. A steal for that Polo and the Armanis for sure. Incidentally I think I picked up my 50 mL HiM edt for something like $6 here in Canada when they were getting rid of them. 😂 Could've gotten HM for the same price and passed because I'm not a fan of the scent. The Viking cap does look sharp!
Wish I got more of the Hanae Mori fragrances, but five years ago, they were sitting there like cheapies. Right next to Jaguar for Men, Montblanc Individuel and Ferragamo F-Black. Never thought they would ever be more than $25.
For the price that was a steal. You should try to get the 2001 discontinue Victoria's secret very sexy for him.
I don't have any VS fragrances.
This one or the move live the moment are probably my favorites I have 10 from the brand
This one is slept on because of the marketing and packaging.
I stand corrected, I re smelled my bottles. Yes they both have civet, but the Duc de vervins is more like Gucci nobile(fougere). And the Lauder is like calandre (chypre) Paco Rabanne.
And actually... The deep vintage of Duc De Vervins by Houbigant smells identical to this, maybe slightly better. They are my two favorite fougeres. Only the vintage versions of both have the civet. All the small splash bottles of the Houbigant are vintage, and you wanna get the box that says "Claire fragrance incorporated Ridgefield NJ " . It will also say Houbigant as well.
@@JohnMiller1983-s3p I'd like to try the Houbigant. Thanks for the info.
I just scored 1.7 vintage bottle off mercari, woohoo! It doesn't have a cap so that's probably why no one was buying it. Yes the vintage had a gold cap, and underneath the bottle it just says "Lauder for men, made in USA" no "e" or no the reverse arrow symbols or no website etc. after watching your video I'm guessing all the Japanese writing probably had the website. Hence websites didn't exist until the 90s so that's a easy tell lol. All the splashes, and mini sprays like you have are vintage though. A bigger vintage spray is really rare...
Nice grab. I'd like to get a bigger bottle of the vintage.
The first formulation smells like drakkar noir with civet. Its one of my favorites. The reformulation in the late 80s, no civet and smells a little more like fresh laundry. Newer bottle labels had the website. Your juice looks darker, and has a long stem, that may be vintage. If you smell civet and it lasts for 14 hours its the vintage.
Ha! 1:22 - this looks exactly like what came in for me today minus the ombre leather :D Rare Carbon - pretty good, quite heavy, i think Ombre is fresher and sweeter Turathi Blue - really good, quite sweet, fresh and spicy
Rare Carbon seems like a twist of Ombre Leather and Tuscan Leather
Just as a heads up, be careful buying some of the vintage early 2k's bottles- this stuff was pretty expensive for a designer then and there were lots of fakes- that sucked- so it would make sense they would not have been used. Caveat emptor.
GREAT PERFECT STRONG MASTERPIECE,,,I BOUGHT 4 BOTTLES
Personally, the ambrette and musk combo is what I enjoy from TYGAR. Longevity 8hr on me. Collection worthy if you could buy at the $200 range.
My man got Tygar set at a cheaper rate than Turathi Blue 💀 What a steal
😆To be fair, it's the set with a 30ml bottle. But $13 for the 30ml in the end is pretty sweet.
Where can I find this one at 25 usd? Thanks!
@@VVillafranco I'm sorry, it doesn't exist outside of Japan for that price. This is a used bottle sold 2nd hand.
Ehhh Ehhhh I didn't know japanese were so dramatic I though only in animes 😂 That's impressive how societies are so different
Very different way of thinking! The contrasts are stark. See my other channel if you want more cultural stuff "StephenWorldwide".
These were my 2 go to fragrances in my early 20's as well as Paco Ranane Black XS
Got them both in one video!
I haven't had a bottle of this since the late 90s but bought a new bottle last week coz i needed it for a video. The new ones have 75008 on it. The smell on the new one is not like how I remember it so i'm on the hunt for a vintage...might jump onto mercari 😆 Thanks for the video 👍
Wow, new ones with 75008. Pretty much everything has been reformulated since 2010.
@eaudetreasure tell me about it. I think the first big one was 2004ish. It's such a double edged sword coz ur trying to find a pre reform bottle but at the same time these days the age would have degraded the scent. But it's always so good when you can find a mint condition vintage
@RaffiDiranBassclef double edged sword so true. Original formula, but maybe off...
@@eaudetreasure apologies brother but one more question, is the cap on this OG bottle metal or plastic?
If you paid $100 then its not authentic. I have the 7.5ml 100 percent authentic purchased about 40 years ago, i would never sell it for anything less than a thousand. I also have a 45 year old Magie noire 😁
I wish I could know for sure if it's authentic. I'll be able to verify it later in the future. But the price, doesn't say whether a vintage fragrance is real or not. $100 for 7.5ml isn't cheap.
This is my favourite fragrance of all time
Where do you buy your bottles?
Cheers Steve wore this back in the day and had a pair of Gucci horse but loafers lol, good times and great nostalgia man , plus I don’t shy away from vintage aftershaves at the right price , but good god what a steal ya got , good luck finding replacement blades hahaha 😝 great find buddy 💪👊🤛
Same to you, thank you.
Good GAWD. I'm almost in tears at those prices. 🤣 Honestly didn't even know that Gucci had razors back then either. Another magnificent find. ⭐
It's an interesting one for sure.
Very nice Tfs
Thanks for watching!
Ive found the hard way that old bottles of aftershave usually turn BAD if theyre alcohol free or low on alcohol. When i saw the 57% vol i was crossing my fingers for ya lol. Glad its good! P.s. just got a bottle of r de cappuci last week, really enjoy it. Reminds me of eucris by geo f trumper.
This one stayed pretty good. Not fresh, but not bad either. The higher the alcohol content, the better it lasts, huh?
Stephen! Sell a few of your gems and upgrade your mike and backdrop brotha. Big fan of your channel.
Thanks so much for coming back. At this time, I won't do any upgrades because next year I'm likely moving. I need to keep this bare bones for now. Next year is a big transition year for me. I have enough content to keep the channel updated, but the vides will have the same format for now. Maybe, just maybe, I'll get a good lapel mic.
Annoying when u get a vintage and it has turned. People also dont know how to store fragrances.
@@NotstarvinMarvin Sellers should test spray an old fragrance and disclose the condition. Even if it's subjective.
@@eaudetreasure Most people dont know anything about fragrances. I've told my relatives plenty of times to not put fragrances in the shower or in front of windows etc.. Its a risk we take buying opened vintage bottles.
Hey :-) where i can get on of that? I love that one since inwas young♥️
@tyrael8236 Check ebay, or come to Japan!
Don't like this , i thought I was buying the original...and its not ANYTHING CLOSE to grey flannel which smells nice..in my opinion
@@davidetaylor2173 This is a light freshie, like Chanel PE.
Regarding the batch code, let's do some reasoning to see if we can't get to a satisfactory conclusion. So, first of all, your batch code indeed comes up as January of 2006, the fragrance was released in 2014 so we can exclude that option. The thing with these batch codes is that they tend to repeat those every 10 years, many brands do this. Seeing that you have a Puig version and that L'Oreal bought Valentino's fragrance department and the transfer became effective on January 1st 2019, I think we have all we need to conclude that this is a January 2016 batch. BTW, this fragrance was not reformulated until L'Oreal got their hands on it so no worries, 2014-2018 is all the same amazing juice! Love that hazelnut, such a great gourmet version of Dior Homme.
2016 sounds about right. It smells wonderful, a gourmand Dior Homme.
Awesome fine, I might need to get me a bottle of that Valentino Uomo.
Be warned, the current stuff is not that great, they took out the hazelnut and everything, which is what made it special, it is no longer gourmet. The first L'Oreal reformulation of Uomo and Uomo intense were not bad so that is still safe to pick up, the second ones (current stuff) are not worth the money. I personally prefer current formulations of Givenchy's and Dior's Iris fragrances now.
Look for the original version, even a partial bottle is worth a try.
You have to let D-U-A macerate a few months. Mine went from clear juice to golden. It's 95 Fierce. Same with Fierce Attar.
@@jdmb03 I'll meet my friend who has the bottle now, and see if it's better.
This is my favorite cologne from back in the day. The one I had came in a blue velvet sack. The fragrance was like a soapy fragrance from what I can remember unlike the alcohol smelling stuff from today. It was discontinued and then rereleased and discontinued again.The original was oily unlike the alcohol evaporating stuff from today.
I don't have one lying around now to test it. But as I remember, this was something like a soft fruity/floral fougere. Ahead of its time, for a mid-80's masculine.
Tengo una botella (batch 7262) 2007 con popote blanco y de caja gruesa, pero, veo que tienes quizá un batch 2004, aunque el liquido de mi botella es aun más amarillento. 👍
I absolutely loved this cologne. It's my all-time favorite. I got it as a gift when I was 25 and then bought another bottle in 1997. I do see them on e-bay for a lot of money and am weary about buying a bottle as I thought that cologne loses its potency after a few years. I have on two separate occasions ordered a replica online. Although they are pretty good but of course not the exact same. Baryshnikov sport can still be bought as I have that one. Would love to see this cologne remade and back on the market.
It's a beauty, for sure. Since the company doesn't exist, it will never come back. And since it's unknown, I don't think a good clone will be produced. Luckily, I found enough bottles to enjoy this into the future. The scent keeps over time, not sure about the performance. The Sport version I also have, something like Armani ADG.
Cheers Steve, A.D. is a great fragrance, Iquitos is probably more popular with the vintage collectors. Price points outside Japan are big for both these fragrances, a fragrance called Hommage was released in honor of his passing in 2024, by Lalique. Cheers great price for sure Steven 💪👊🤛
I've never seen Iquitos sold here, that's a unicorn for me.
@ it was one of the fragrances put forward to become Dior Poison, however it didn’t make the Final Cut , however Alain purchased it and produced it as a masculine offering and it’s today a beloved classic vintage in the community 👍
Interesting find.
Thanks, this one isn't so common here. Once a month it pops up.
Heck yeah a good find. And now that Alain has passed away the value is only going to skyrocket. Nice one Steven!
Thanks a lot. I'll try to get a big spray bottle if I find it.
I recently found Bvlgari Blv Notte Pour Homme after searching for it for years. I got the 3.4oz bottle. I ended up paying $150 with tax but worth it because its no longer available. I fell in love with Blv Notte Pour Homme when it was released back 2004.
I've been wearing this recently since I found a few more bottles on the cheap. $150 for a new 100 ml is a good price for this.
So I have been getting into House of Sillage and the trend number nine was sent to me as a gift with purchase, and it smells exactly like the rule 925 stores
I will check that out. Very interested. Thanks for the info.
Awesome fragrance I'm on my second vintage bottle recently purchased one for a very good price it a 1998 release year bottle.
The sticker and batch code on the bottom of the vintages is different from the moderns. I'm wondering if there is a big difference in scent and performance?
my friend it is a counterfit bottle and not authentic, u got scammed, caps like this come only on 2010-2011 batches, but the sprayer from the bottle is from 2015 at least. thats why the cap sitts so wanky, its not made for that kind of sprayers. Its a refilled bottle. the bottle did not change collour because its a refill, i have a 15x01 and its greenish juice. and u can clearly see that it is green. if it would be real 30ml are worth around 250-300 Euros. erwin creedn did also not made the scent or hernault, its all a hoax, they never were parfumers in the first place, creed is made on a pile of lies lmao. the only man who created it is pierre. also how u describe the 15x01 is complete wrong, it is a dark gothic batch, earthy and dense, more on the currant side, really dark and nothing bright or citrusy/woody. sorry for your loss, i hope u did not pay much because its more than easy to open this bottles and refill them.
Thanks for the info.
They pop up where? I need the blue fresh one.
I'm living in Japan and they pop up in some online shops and vintage stores here. The fresh blue one, rarer than the original. The summer version comes around now and then.
@eaudetreasure is there a specific website? A legit one?
I just discovered for myself that Aqva Marine has two different reformulation. One smell like seaweed and the other smell citrusy. I own the citrusy one which actually smells very attractive, but I could see why they would want to discontinued the seaweed one; it smells too seaweed. Who in the hell wants to smell like seaweed in the office? The question is, what are they going to do with the citrusy reformulation? Are they going to put in a different bottle, or is that one also being discontinued?
I have smelled the "seaweed" one and I have also smelled the less seaweed one. What you're calling more citrus, I find it more floral. I always thought it was the same formula, but the bottle just changed over time. Maybe it is two distinct formulas. I changed my opinion over time, and I like all versions much more now. I agree the office is not the place, but outdoors in the summer is the right place. So far, the regular Aqua and Marine are still for sale. But, who knows for how long?
Bought one because of you. 😂 love the smell!
It's a classic!
Just a heads up, i have a batch from 2023 F001397. Its incredibly heavy and dense on the smoke, its like there was a layer of ash over all the other accords. Very dense musk, and a super bright and poppy pineaple that pokes through, but is still covered in smoke.
That's cool to hear the newer batches have different nuances and you found this one to be very smokey.
@eaudetreasure I will say that when I first got it about 4 months ago, it was nothing like that. It was very light and airy, whispy, and did not last. Glad to say it's definitely macerated. Can't wait to see what it's like in a year.
