Amazing list mate and superbly described as always. We have such similar tastes, I own every one on this list and like them all! So glad that you are back!
You've always had sophisticated and classy tastes. Some of these a little too "mature" or "vintage" for my tastes. With your personality and the manner you carry yourself, these are most certainly you in a bottle. Enjoyed the video, Raj.
Good to see you back mate been watching your channel for over 10 years! You & dradoc were a big influence on me getting into fragrances back in the day! One of the best fragrance channels on youtube
Big lover of Paul smith myself and the discrete zebra logo. Excellent choices. Equipage is a personal favourite. Please please try Frederick Malle heaven can wait.non linear and inspired by it I think.
@@TheScentientMan great choices in this list, how refreshing it is to see lists where the bottles have massive dents in them!! I personally didn't like the Boucheron edp, the EDT is just much more brighter and more gentlemanly, I believe your edt bottle is the vintage.
wow, those are great choices. I have got some vintages versions of those. You might like the flanker Eau Sauvage extreme. Not sure how the recent version holds up.
Great video i also enjoy most of these ...3rd man is one of my favourites , and a great point about actually wearing your collection...easy to forget sometimes
Good to see you Raj! Haven't watched your channel i bet for couple of years totally I agree with Pour Monseiour. I love it although i think it doesn't last or my nose gets accustomed to it quickly
@@TheScentientMan nice. Ever tried fougere royale? been thinking about it as i hear people talk about it but never smelt it. have to order it online any thoughts?
@ahmed007Jaber it’s a very nice scent and the original fougere fragrance released. I did a video called “Barbershop fragrance battle | Houbigant vs Parfums MDCI”. Check it out.
@@TheScentientMan Raj. I got the royal but haven't tried it yet. tried boucheron and I am in love. what others would you recommend? would be really good to see a video about such hidden gems are you on linkedin by any chance?
@ahmed007Jaber great enjoy fougere royale. Try Eau Sauvage Extreme and the Parfum. Also Lalique pour homme. There’s one with the lion on it and another with a horse on the bottle. Both are good. No I’m not on LinkedIn but you can find me on Instagram. Just type my channel name.
Tom Ford Noir Edt (clear bottle) smells even better than the Noir Edp. It smells like the original but brighter and more cozy. Unfortunately that is also discontinued. If you like classic fragrances, check out, Duc De Vervins l'extreme. That one is highly rated under the radar gem.
Tom Ford Noir is not sold here for some reason. But the extreme version is...and that seems like a vastly different scent to me. I much prefer the standard noir. Most of the Chanel scent still smell high quality to me...I am not fully confident that they use better materials as the brand has a bad reputation for cutting corners in their other business segments...but I sometimes also think they have a long long time to perfect their accords that it smells fantastic tonally. I like and own Guerlain's Vetiver parfum, it seems like a very cozy cleaned up nutty vetiver. It's also the bland version of the EDT haha! Pour Monsieur EDT is one of my top 100s. I forgot how the EDP smells like...maybe I might do the same thing as you and get a bottle. I know someone who shared that there was something in the EDP base that made them queasy.
Justaddlight, what happened to EmmyEverAfter? She was one of my fave new reviewers and I saw you in her comments all the time. I know she had some health issues but i hope she's alright.
@@dookiekicks That's an excellent question. I certainly hope she's alright too. Her last IG post was in 2020 and 2021 for TikTok, but I can understand if other life events took precedence. Self-imposed social media obligations can sometimes be an unnecessary burden, and prioritization is an individual perogative. My love goes out to her wherever she is. ❤
Excellent choices Raj, throughly enjoy this video. I have been wearing a lot of classics this year. Things like Boucheron Jaipur, Hermes Rocabar, YSL Jazz & Rive Gauche etc. My find of the year has been Patrick, by Fragrances of Ireland. Have you tried that one mate? It's mossy fresh and soapy. Really top notch 👌
@TheScentientMan I'm sure you will love it. I was looking for a green/mossy fresh & soapy fragrance for soooo long. Patrick absolutely nails it. It's so good I purchased another bottle shortly after my first, so now I've got 2 and will hopefully never run out. Best thing is, you can get it for around £30 for 100ml 😉👌
That sounds like the retail price and it probably is worth it. However, in the past I’ve often seen Caron on discount websites but not as much nowadays.
Just grabbed myself a drink and ready to watch! The legend returns!!
brimming with charisma.. You should do this more often!
Thank you. I really need to be more consistent.
Amazing list mate and superbly described as always. We have such similar tastes, I own every one on this list and like them all! So glad that you are back!
Thanks a lot Greg. Hope you enjoyed your drink! I’m having a wee dram now.
He's back!
been wearing pour monsieur since i was 18 now im 63 and still love it..its class in a bottle.
Oh that's great to hear. Have you noticed many changes in the formula over time or would you say the modern version is as or almost as good?
You've always had sophisticated and classy tastes. Some of these a little too "mature" or "vintage" for my tastes. With your personality and the manner you carry yourself, these are most certainly you in a bottle. Enjoyed the video, Raj.
Thanks a lot, Chad. Always a pleasure to hear from you.
Rive gauche intense! Most rare
A rare beast indeed. Got a haul video coming soon. Keep an eye out for it 👀.
I so happy that you came back!🎉
Thank you! Glad to be back.
Good to see you back on YT
Thanks mate. Good to be back.
You and Handsome Smells back in the same week - it’s like the good old days!! 😂 A great list there Raj! 👍🏻
Thanks Mark. Always a pleasure to hear from you. More videos coming soon.
So happy you're still on here! Looking great as well, Raj!
Thank you. Great to be back.
Good to see you back mate been watching your channel for over 10 years! You & dradoc were a big influence on me getting into fragrances back in the day! One of the best fragrance channels on youtube
Thanks for the support over such a long period of time. Really appreciate that. Dracdoc is a great guy. Met him in New York.
Great collection mate, love the way your taste has evoled over the years.
And is similar to mine nowadays.
Thanks mate. Appreciate you watching.
nice to see you again!
Great to be back. Thanks for the comment.
Big lover of Paul smith myself and the discrete zebra logo.
Excellent choices.
Equipage is a personal favourite.
Please please try Frederick Malle heaven can wait.non linear and inspired by it I think.
Thanks. Ok I'll try Heaven Can Wait. I've only sampled it on paper but will have to get it on skin.
First like and comment! Great timing, now watching with eagerness!
Thanks mate. Going to watch your new upload in a bit.
@@TheScentientMan great choices in this list, how refreshing it is to see lists where the bottles have massive dents in them!! I personally didn't like the Boucheron edp, the EDT is just much more brighter and more gentlemanly, I believe your edt bottle is the vintage.
Yeah it’s vintage but I’ve tried the modern version and it’s still good
Brilliant list!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great taste! Got a new subscriber here.
Welcome aboard. Thank you.
Great list man... Two of these I've always meant to get my nose on and just never have... Thanks for bringing them back to my attention... ^_^
Thanks man
wow, those are great choices. I have got some vintages versions of those. You might like the flanker Eau Sauvage extreme. Not sure how the recent version holds up.
Thanks for watching. I had a large sample of Extreme and liked it a lot. Think it was the modern version.
Great video i also enjoy most of these ...3rd man is one of my favourites , and a great point about actually wearing your collection...easy to forget sometimes
Thanks a lot for watching. Yeah 3rd man is a gem.
Great hearing what you’ve been wearing….. some real classics …… gotta try Caron pour homme…. Thanks for update
Thanks for watching. Nice to hear from you.
Brilliant, glad to see this video🎉
Glad you enjoyed it
Welcome back. Nice to see
Thanks. Nice to be back.
Good to see you Raj! Haven't watched your channel i bet for couple of years
totally I agree with Pour Monseiour. I love it although i think it doesn't last or my nose gets accustomed to it quickly
It’s a lovely scent but yes stays close to the skin. It actually lasts all day but projection is low. You just have to reapply after 5 or 6 hours.
@@TheScentientMan nice. Ever tried fougere royale? been thinking about it as i hear people talk about it but never smelt it. have to order it online
any thoughts?

Always great to hear from you. From your description the new Vetiver Parfum sounds good. I'll have to seek out a sample.
Rive Gauche 😍😍🔥🔥
A classic 🔥
Great dents Raj! I'm always torn about whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. 😄 We'll say good this time. 😆 Classic gems.
Big dents mean you're closer to buying a new bottle so let's say it's a good thing 😄

I love Chanel pour Monsieur, I've already used a bottle. Unfortunately, the parameters are very poor
Yeah the thing is it lasts on my skin all day but projection is low. I can put up with that though to be honest.
very demure, very mindful. very classy.
Thanks a lot
Thank you Raj.Lots of old frag. How about new hype L V Imagination etc.
I've tried a few LV frags but not many. Not really up-to-date with some of the newer releases but will get my nose on them.
Such a classy list! ✨I was wondering if is worth 90€ for a 120ml bottle of LE 3ÈME HOMME - Caron?
That sounds like the retail price and it probably is worth it. However, in the past I’ve often seen Caron on discount websites but not as much nowadays.
…so agree with Pour Monsieur…(new sub)
Thanks for the sub. Nice to have you on board.
You have great taste
Thank you 👍🏼
Jaipur EDP are the best of all lines 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Yeah. Need to get a bottle.
🍺
🍾
Good To See You.. How Is Your Dad?? I Love TF NOIR … Great At Night
He’s doing well. I’m sure we’ll do another video together soon.
The most British list ever? Quality and class.
Thank you!
