    I’ll stand up for Prada l’homme! Not exactly exciting, but I could argue it is unique! Not an overplayed DNA like many other designers. Perfect for smelling clean and most people will appreciate it!

    • @geletrode
      @geletrode 2 года назад +3

      Yeah its one of my favorites. I really like the not safe stuff as well but this to me isnt just soapy, its sweet clean iris and i gd love it. the powder doesnt bother me but i can see some people hating that, girls or guys so keep that in mind.

    • @lihanou
      @lihanou 2 года назад +4

      @@geletrode I have it and love it BECAUSE it is safe, and I wear it to the office. I get too much reaction with Dior Sauvage - everyone comes to me and sniffs "you smell nice".

      @StillJaded00 2 года назад +4

      I think the fragrance community gets wrapped up in complex and exciting, but forget that doesn’t always mean a well done fragrance. L’homme is “simple” but it’s perfectly done in its class, like perfect form.

    Courtney is amazing at identifying the notes on all of these videos. Very impressive. Also the production design and the attention to detail on this channel is leagues ahead of every single fragrance RUclips channel out there right now. Do the 2 of you work in the fragrance industry or the news/tv business?? It's just a very tight, professional production. Very impressive.🤘🏼

    Bought the dreamer as my first fragrance. I didn’t like it in the start, but oh booooy... Few months later, after trying tens of fragrances, I fell in love with the dreamer. It smells absolutely amazing, but I can see that it isn’t for everyone. It’s a big pity that the sillage is only average.

    Definitely care about your thoughts, Teddy. As a man who has been on a fragrance journey as long as you have and developed an appreciation for more complex notes, for me it's important to hear your thoughts. Having you both give your thoughts covers more bases.
    I remember at an airport years ago I was sprayed with a Dunhill fragrance in a green bottle, it must have been Racing but it lasted for ages and smelt great to my nose. I never bought it but always have remembered... Would you still go with Icon over Icon Racing? Or different Icons for different situations?

  • @delanoscott7856

    • @boixgenius
      @boixgenius 2 года назад

      Maybe because this is for men's fragrance and typically men who wear these scents want a woman's opinion rather than a man's? I obviously don't agree with that mindset because I'm not a man lol but i could definitely understand his thought process

    Great list btw!

    Hey teddy. I think Bvlgari’s man Wood neroli makes for a great spring scent as it has that classic Eau de cologne DNA on top of a slightly sweet woody fragrance. Makes perfect sense for summer as well, one of my favourites of recent times.

    • @FRD-HDD

    Never heard of The Dreamer before. Was at Ross the other day and saw it. Looked up the notes and blind bought it. For only $30 it was a steal. Love it. Wish I knew it before it was reformulated. Maybe they will come out with The Dreamer Extreme (or The Extreme Dreamer). lol

  • @pmrp12
    @pmrp12 2 года назад +2

    Loving the videos from you two! And of course we value your opinion, Teddy! Happy you finally got Courtney on the Vetiver train ;)
    Terre d’Hermes is a modern masterpiece. And you got me back onto Encre Noire Sport-it’s a deft combination of aquatics and woods (and that’s saying something coming from a Florida guy in a polo!). Finally, I’m totally with you on the banal Prada L’homme-Amber pour Homme is way more interesting for a fresh soapie!

    @golfbuddy1969 2 года назад

    If I had to wear only 5 for life, Prada LHomme would be one. But you have to spray it aggressively…and it isn’t so safe anymore. A guaranteed compliment if you spray enough. It makes me smile every time I spray it.

    Our guy who mans the men's fragrance counter at our local Dillards in Waco has a small vented shaker of coffee beans to "clear your nose" after each smell. He tells me it 'resets' the brain for each test.
    And how about the person's chemistry affecting the impact on the sampling nose?
    "The olfactory nerves are the only cranial nerves that are directly attached to the cerebrum without stopping at the thalamus." Wikipedia
    I'm sure you have read or heard of the famous "T shirt" studies.
    When I was young, many moons ago, I use to wear Old Spice and get girls to talk about their fathers and their childhoods.
    I called my approach "The Un-line" like the "un-Cola"
    Worked often enough but I discovered not all girls had happy childhoods.

    Versace’s The Dreamer was strong and powerful many years ago before reformulation. Now it is weak and soft. They need to do an EDP or Parfum version and restore this Masterpiece backs to its former power and glory.

  • @CapMIam
    @CapMIam 2 года назад

    Great video and Teddy's picks are surprising but understandable. Top 2 picks would be Cartier's Declaration d'un Soir & Hermes Terre d'Hermes, staples in my collection (I also have the Vetiver version of Terre). I find that Cartier's Eau de Cartier is a more sophisticated & subdued take off Issey Miyake's flagship EDT with yuzu notes (even with reformulation, it's a cloyingly assault on the nose). Would gladly give up the 4 Issey fragrances in my possession to trade for Ambre Noir from the same house and on my wishlist the next time I find myself in Japan (a unicorn in N America unless you want to turn to eBay).

  • @zazen1986
    @zazen1986 2 года назад

    Funny, I also love the TF one and I too first smelled it at a Sephora! Also, my wife doesn’t love it as much as I do, I think it just appeals to some sort of masculine archetype in my head. I also have and love the Declaration D’un Soir, and use it a lot in the fall because there is a dark-earthiness underneath the rose that gets brought out in wet/cool weather. Also a good replacement for when I want Toy Boy vibes but I also want to feel more “professional.” You should definitely check out Givenchy Gentleman Cologne (white bottle), has stuff that you’d seem to like, it just doesn’t last very long. Has iris BUT not powdery, more like “boiled carrot.” Sounds weird, but it’s super light and fresh.

  • @delroycreary1230

You got a lot of classics, love to see some brand new stuff as the channel grows and yes Teddy, i like to hear both yours and Courtney's opinions.

    An idea for you guys (though you may laugh). You could go over Bath and Body works fragrances. I'm in college and they're cheap so I like to use these daily and others like Jazz Club for going out. They're also nice because they have soaps and deodorants in the same scents (though as far as colognes obviously not up to par to what you normally review)
