I switched things up for my current rotation. Sunday-tom ford tuscan leather Monday bond no 9 Lafayette st Tuesday fragrance world celestial Wed fragrance world Starman ( original) Thursday boss bottled nights Friday tru fragrance solar stone (am) tom ford ombre leather (pm) Saturday gurlaine l'homme ideal extreme. As bonus i saw a bottle of demeter thunderstorm in the store. I expected it to be some light summer citrus scent...no not at all. It quite literly smells like ozone rain, wet dirt and concrete. Photo realistic rainstorm scent. Im not gonna say its not wearable but i doubt people will think you smell good wearing it...i bought it to wear when im by myself on the weekend to wear when im sick of winter and want to smell like a summer storm. If you want a very realistic rainstorm scent demeter thunderstorm.
@gerardgeorge a lot of demeter fragrances are realistic and artistic. I tried thunderstorm, petrichor, and one called tomato. They all smell exactly as advertised but that sent of wet ground ozone, and rain on the wind sold me on thunderstorm
Love the set up! Gotta get your collection in the back possibly! My weekly wears S: YSL Y EDP M: Spicebomb extreme T: Prada Black W: Ferragamo UOMO Signature Th: Dior Homme Intense F: Dior Homme Original S: Dior Homme 2020 lol
Margiella needs to up their concentration from edt to parfum or extrait. Because they produce some lovely, unique smells. However, they don't last long for the most part. I would buy an extrait version of Jazz Club and BTFP on launch day.
Parfum is not a bad scent it’s just if you fell into the hype of it being a replacement for Profumo it was a let down. On its own I can see why people like it.
Gerard, first I think you are the only fragrance reviewer that pronounces Acqua Di Gio correct. I had an Italian business partner until I retired and he would laugh at everyone who mispronounced Gio (Joe) secondly Profumo and been replaced by Parfum. I bought the other day as I am a fan of the Code, and the Gio lines. Good news is Pafum is very similar but a hair smoother. If you look at the note breakdown they are 90% similar they just slightly tweaked in the base. Also they are going to refillable bottles, I guess this is there green thing, but have eliminated the magnetic caps, darn you Armani. And the biggest complaint is with the new refillable bottle some have leaked but most retail/suppliers have replaced the leakers.
Finally. A youtube fragrance reviewer that knows his Profumo. The new one isn't even close. I own both, and am always shaking my head at these (seemingly huge channels) where they say that the new parfum is a replacement. It absolutely is NOT. Thank you GG for the real.
Hey Gerard. Sounds like you have what I just got over.At least you didn't get it during the holidays like I did. Anyway, last week I went with: Escada Sentiment, Hanai Mori EDP, Barrett Frag, Fields of Valhalla, Pasha EDP, M. Alhambra Crafted Oud, Orlov Red Shield, Elie Saab #9 Ambre. Hope you feel better soon.
My man! will have to wear Asad again some time this week. my weekly wears valentino uomo intense givenchy gentleman reservee privee sauvage elixir rochas l'homme (doesnt last long) Zara virtuous oud (doesnt last long) Guerlain l'homme ideal edp Bentley man Absolute (basically u will smell like papyrus)
Great Rotation Gerard! Profumo is my favorite fragrance! My weekly wears: Sunday-Aspen by Coty Monday (day)- Cartier Declaration d’Un Soir (night) - Pasha de Cartier Parfum Tuesday - Brioni EDP Intense Wednesday - Hermes Bel Ami Thursday - Cremo Vintage Suede Friday - Lauder for Men Saturday (day) - Polo Green for Men (Night) - Cremo Spice & Black Vanilla
Tuesday: ADG Profumo Wednesday: Gentle Fluidity Silver Thursday: Ralph's Club edp Friday: Dua's Drowning in Supernova Saturday: Dua's Vanilla and Cognac Sunday: Versace Oud Noir Had a great week. Can't confirm if Profumo and The Parfum are similar. Just didn't feel the need to try the Parfum becuase Profumo has been doing that job.
I couldn't find your weekly wears video with uomo signature. a lot of talk about reformulation recently. The 2022 batches having terrible longevity no projection people can't even smell it. people seem to agree that the 2018 batches have beast mode projection like all the reviews suggest. At my local Rack store there is a 20/20 batch Ferragamo omo signature and I'm not sure whether or not I should buy. Wondering what year your batch is and whether or not it is a beast mode performer. Thanks
Glad you are feeling a bit better Gerard and look forward to seeing your new setup! Nice rotation, mine was: Sun: Precious Liquid Sweet Tonka Mon: Guerlain Tobacco Honey Tue: Grand Soir Wed: Day Three Fragrances La Tacita de Cafe Thu: Fragrance World Star Men Nebula Fri: Goldfield & Banks Ingenious Ginger Sat: PDM Herod
Hey my man, greetings from white trash Indiana lol I just picked up the OG Polo green. I have always known this scent, I had a sampler way back in high school, I'm 46. It may be my age, but god damn, I absolutely love this scent all of a sudden. What is your opinion on it? Love your vids sir!!
Your nose has matured! I like it a lot as a matter of fact and even is nostalgic a bit for me. I don’t own a bottle but have smelled and worn it a few times in recent years.
When you ever decide to take a full shave again, try Proraso Red aftershave if you like sandalwood. It's my all time favorite sandalwood scent. If only they would issue it as a cologne or an edt like Maurer & Wirtz does with the classic Tabac aftershave! CK One Shock has been reformulated a few times. My bottle was weak when I bought it about 7 years ago but it has gotten alot stronger and what was once a poor performer now lasts a nice amount of time. Very good stuff! I think I take my AdG Profumo for granted. I bought a 200 ml bottle during an Armani Beauty USA 40% off discount sale a couple of years ago, and just wear it a few times each spring and summer.
Feel better Bro. Rocking Drakkar Intense today. Sunday it was Creed Viking and Saturday it was Dior Fahrenheit which attracted some lovelies while I was out at a lounge in Buckhead ATL. Good times.
@@gerardgeorge niceee I live in providence I know that accent a mile away lol Boston ri we all talk like that lol .. great vids subscribed and got notification on appreciate ur content 🔥
Last week weekly rotation 07 January 2024 to 13 January 2024: 🔹Mancera Lemon Line 🔹Armani Stronger With You Intensely 🔹Vertus Vanilla Oud 🔹Prada L'homme intense 🔹Hugo Boss The Scent Private Accord 🔹Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo 🔹Mancera Aoud Black Candy SOTD: Xerjoff Casamorati Regio
Asad is such a banger!! Love layering it with Lattafa Khamrah. Btw…should have picked up a bottle of Profumo when it first came out. Really loved it but just never pulled the trigger for some reason. It should have been destiny really…my wife’s maiden name was Fumo. Pro Fumo=I’m for Fumo. Big mistake not to grab one…esp at the price at that time🤦🏻
Get better, Gerard. Eight & Bob the original, I have the EDT version. It has a great performance. My weekly rotation. Monday: Pulse of the Night by Issey Miyake Tuesday: Megalium by Carner Barcelona Wednesday: Divine Vanille by Essential Parfums Thursday: Vanagloria by Laboratorio Olfattivo Friday: Dior Homme Intense Saturday: JPG Le Male Le Parfum Sunday: Sand Desert at Sunset
Good video!nice change up of back ground! So use to the skyline back drop ,with microphone which is good also.yeah have to get VC homme i do see at Burlington etc,yeah can't go wrong with SHOCK either , honestly my week hectic! Almost can't remember,I think Tumi continuum, Prada ocean EDT mixed in decant of explorer blue, explorer being the majority in decant.thanks
Shock is a nice scent but it's easily a 30 sprayer. Longevity is BEYOND horrible for me. this week: PDM Percival, Montblanc Explorer, Halston Z-14, PDM Godolphin, Polo Red, Bentley Intense, and Marc Jacobs Original.
Can't wait for the new setup. And I Rock CK Shock! I mostly layer it with Molecule 01 but sometimes Tuscan Leather, or with oud wood. This was a pretty chill week for me and I just kinda grabbed what was calling to me in the moment for the most part but I tried to wear some stuff I hadn't worn in a while. I went with Afnan's Ornament, Ejaazi Silver, Tres Nuit, One Million Lucky, Ministry of Oud's Oud Satin, Rasasi Daarej, and Saturday was Afnan's Rare Carbon in the morning then Halloween Man Shot at night. Feel better Gerard
Good rotation this week! And yeah, I don't know if JFK wore Eight and Bob, but it sure smells like something he would wear and that's good enough for me.
Hi! I really enjoy your videos but it drives me crazy you use the same song constantly (as do a lot of RUclips channels use the same “song”). I understand you can’t use copyright music but there has to be another song for the love of all that is holy
Thanks for the feedback. Structure to vids will begin to evolve with newer style content being introduced in 2024. The music has always been a piece that I barely want to be noticed. Based on your name you are a music guy so I appreciate your passion. You are the first person to point out your disdain for the music which tells me I'm doing something right ironically hahahaha.
@@gerardgeorge Thanks for the reply! Maybe it is more noticeable to me because I’m into music. Looking forward to seeing what the year holds for your channel and fragrances in general (maybe the most wanted Elixer? lol). Keep up the great work!
Great video. I’ve been wearing Alexandria’s Cocoa Dreams.

Thanks Kyle! Fantastic rotation!
CK SHOCK is my favorite weekend fragrance for around the house and running errands.
I can see why!
Margiella needs to up their concentration from edt to parfum or extrait. Because they produce some lovely, unique smells. However, they don't last long for the most part. I would buy an extrait version of Jazz Club and BTFP on launch day.
That would be amazing for sure.
Profumo is a masterpiece! What are your thoughts on ADG Absolu? I recently acquired that one.
I like it a lot. One of the best from the house I may like it more than Profondo
@@gerardgeorge I'm enjoying it. Seems like a more "refined" version of Rasasi Hawas
I like the ads parfum and the profumo
Yeah the parfum isn’t bad it’s just its own thing.
I just ordered aqua di gio parfum for the spring, i really like it...probably a good thing i never smelled the profumo
Parfum is not a bad scent it’s just if you fell into the hype of it being a replacement for Profumo it was a let down. On its own I can see why people like it.
⛔️😐Why ENIGMA DEUX UNE is way better than ASAD?
For me ASAD,în 2 hours is...gone.
Although the phone was soaked for 2 months
Oh man really? I haven't tried the fragrance you mentioned but I get really good performance. It does need to macerate.
Gerard, first I think you are the only fragrance reviewer that pronounces Acqua Di Gio correct.

Thank you brotha 🙏🏼. I’m convinced they heard other reviewers say it so they just started saying it.
@@gerardgeorge see this happen all the time :(
Feel better soon, Gerard! 🙏🏻
Thank you brotha!
Hey Gerard. Sounds like you have what I just got over.At least you didn't get it during the holidays like I did.

Some do and I could see why its a great scent as well!
