    Gentlemen: I am sixty five and have been using Guerlain Vetiver for forty-five years. Over the years, I have been stopped on the streets by both men and women asking me "what scent are you wearing?" It is absolutely sublime in my estimation. So glad it was included in the list.

    I was very happy to see Old Spice included. I always figured I just had hopelessly bad taste for liking it, so nice to see someone who knows what he's talking about liking it too. The smell of it is simply interwoven into my 1970s and 80s childhood.

    Eau Savauge EDT is my favorite of all time, perfect 10/10, great for everyday and also for going out. It is still a very modern and charismatic scent. I also like ADP Colonia for the summer. Old spice is always a great option in the winter months. Great review, I love the classics and wish they would become more popular again. I just ordered samples of Floris No. 89 and Eight and Bob, thank you for the suggestions!

    • @ManicMindTrick
      @ManicMindTrick Год назад

      Even through reformulations, it smells absolutely fantastic. The EDT is a masterpiece of perfumery and is both timeless and classical at the same time and works year round. I was a bit scared to try this because I really dislike the chemical mess called Dior Sauvage but this fragrance shares zero in common with that one.

    I am a big fan of Azzaro Pour Homme. I have a bottle my father gave me in the late 80's and I never grew out of loving it as it got older. I acquired a couple more bottles over the years and continue to go back to it for various occasions. It is my most personally nostalgic fragrance because of my dad. It isn't for everyone but it would be in my top ten classic fragrance favorites. Thanks for the video. I have many of the ten you chose. You have wonderful taste in fragrances. Great video...thanks again!

    This was one of the best reviews of classic mens fragrances I've seen in a long time. All of the iconic scents were included as well as the surprise inclusion of Old Spice which my father wore in the 70's. I myself have worn Green Irish Tweed and I've worn Acqua di Parma for about ten years now. For a second I thought you would include Grey Flannel or Halston but no need really for those.

    Hermes Equipage is another classic scent I love. I used to wear it in the 70's & 80's and so is CD Eau Savage. Recently I felt a little nostalgic & bought myself an Aramis, which I wore for my job interviews in the 80's. I agree with you when you said these classic fragrances bring back old memories. Another fragrance I bought which I used to wear is Caron Yatagan. I also own some new fragrances like Blue De Chanel, Prada L'Homme, YSL Lanuit de L'homme, CD Sauvage, Givenchy Gentlemen, etc., but none of them brings back good old memories like the old classic ones.

    Being a classic fragrance aficionado myself, I have to say that this is by far the most carefully curated list of classic scents put together by any menswear youtuber. Thanks for introducing me to the JFK-Perfume, it is not well known here in europe. Kudos for including Knize Ten (one of my 10/10 fragrances for sure) and for pronouncing it correctly as well - many americans struggle with the counterintuitive czech pronunciation. ;)
    About the lack of "real" leather in Knize: Leather scents couldn't be synthesized until fairly recently. Thus, in the days of old, perfumers tried to evoke more of an "idea" of leather or of an environment that would feature leather goods (think gentleman's club furniture). What Knize calls "leather" in the base notes used to be an accord dominated by birch tar, for example.
    Superb video, greetings from Germany!

    • @hespokestyle
      @hespokestyle  4 года назад +3

      Many thanks for that comment. And for your affirmation that I pronounced Knize properly. Someone else in the comments has taken issue with it and called me rather unsophisticated. Great history of the "leather" in Knize Ten as well. I really appreciate that explanation.

    Knize Ten is magnificent. A smooth, show-stopper. It only seems appropriate for colder weather to me. Also, I think the leather note referred to is actually castoreum, a material used to create leather notes, but here I feel it's character shines through more distinctively in it's smoky, dried fruit qualities.

    Hi, nice video as always, and really nice JLC !
    Would you consider making video on the Reverso ? I'm seriously considering getting one for my 2nd (and last) graduation and since I really connect with your aesthetic I would really love to see it.
    I long hesitated with a Rolex datejust but the JLC fit my personal style a lot more.

    I would have also added Aramis in there , but the modern man would move onto new frags as I have learnt, I was caught up in a time warp only using frags back in the 70s & 80s only these passed few years I’ve been using modern frags & my word are they great. The frags you mentioned I think are way out of date & have had their time. I must admit your advice means so much to us, keep it up my man 👍

    Hey, I once worked for Knize in Vienna and I love the "Ten" for more than 25 Years now. Out of all the pronunciation-varieties I've ever heard, yours comes closest to how a guy from Vienna would say it. Still: the Z is a very soft sh-sound. Like the one you use in "sauvage" Plus: the K and the N are closer, like one sound. so the result would be a long ee like in "knee" but the K here isn't silent. not k-a-nee... but hard KNeeeesha with a rather short end-syllable, like some people in english-speaking-countries would pronounce the end-syllable of "porsche"...

      Ron, I would agree w/you two decades ago. The problem w/Aspen today, it's been reformulated and it's staying power is terrible. In other words, it's watered down--shame, but a fact. GIT is the way to go and saving for it is well worth the price tag--you can find int on discounters for half the price as retail. Shop around. If you don't want to pony up the cash for GIT, another option is Cool Water and that may suffice. Hope this helps, thanks.

      As you mentioned, also over here in Europe GIT can be had for much less than the official Creed retail price (I paid around 150 EUR for a 100 ml bottle), its nevertheless an expensive fragrances for most and Aspen gives you at least a taste of GIT.
