Paul, safari is the one fragrance I wore more than any throughout my life . Probably a bit more mature than what I should have been wearing at 21 but this saw me through a lot of key moments in my life. I wore this the day I got engaged, the day I got married and the day my first daughter was born … loved the stuff …. Absolutely a classic
I wear safari every now n again in spring and last few years it’s been a compliment God 😂 them sparkly aldehydes have got me some serious compliments in my time 🤝🏴
Hi Paul, I just bought Paco Rabanne Pour Homme again, after your excellent review. I used to wear this in the 80's and it has brought back so many great memories! What has astonished me the most is that the olfactory journey is identical to the original bottle I owned. Right down to the delicious honey base note. It truly is an old school classic, and doesn't seem to have suffered from the reformulation nightmare of some other old fragrances. I'd like to thank you for your presentation, which encouraged me to purchase this gem from a happy past. 🙂
Wish it was a longer video😅 my dad always wore Aramis and you described him in the video. He also wore eau savage. I will be buying both to wear for the memories...
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! loved that trip down memory lane. I tried to have a clear out a while back but couldn’t part with any. PR pour homme was there, Aramis along with Kouros and D&G pour homme. Please do a Part 2 review 🙏
Thank you for your kind words and positivity matey. I was going to include Kouros, Polo Green and Chanel platinum but i've already spoken about them a few times. I will definitely do a part 2 even its to selfishly indulge myself. 😀
@@magsfrags2020 I’ll have to have a look back at your reviews 😊 I still wear Platinum Egoiste and get compliments. Your reviews are so relaxing, detailed and thoroughly enjoyable 👍
Not for the faint hearted !… brilliant descriptions, especially Aramis .. 1965 ! - didn’t know it was that old. Just tried it again to remind me … hmmm yeah … ..No. No. you gotta have it tho . In fact Aramis is the only classic oldie I own. Been into frags 5 yrs - so these are top of the list to sample etc - you gotta know what came before - right . I’m a classic oldie myself , but I somehow managed to avoid these back in the day. I wore Quorum which I think is still a very wearable scent , even today. Armani pour homme is my holy grail - vintage only tho. If I had any cash I’d buy up every bottle I could find . I wore Joop too - not sure I’d like it now tho. The Le parfum sounds good . Nice one 👍, cheers 🥂
Great subject not that common in fragcomm imo! Thanks for your effort, insights and passion😊🙏! My retro favs are Dior Fahrenheit, D&G Pour Homme, Zino by Davidoff and CK Obsession!
What I love about 1881 is how well it layers as a base. Bergamots, lavenders, florals and patchoulis work especially well. Personally love wearing it with Banana Republic's Vintage Green. But alone it just feels unfinished. Much prefer Boucheron's Pour Homme edp that combines 1881 with a touch of Azzaro's Pour Homme and a lovely lipsticky verbena top. THAT fragrance is on the level of some of the best Chanels imo.
@@daviddunbar2156 Tough to make anything last in the heat barring an overdose of woody ambers which neither the Boucheron or Cerruti have. Boucheron Pour Homme EDT might be the way to go in this case. It's better quality than 1881 imo, with more citruses but essentially the same scent profile. Just go heavy on the trigger or carry around a small decant. Cheers.
@@justaddlight thanks for the reply. Can you recommend any cheap summer fragrances? I am currently looking at: Boucheron Jaipur edt Armaf legasi Eau de rochas homme
@@daviddunbar2156 Eau de Rochas is a no brainer imo, just don't think of it as a citrus fragrance. The citruses disappear within 10 minutes and what's left is a generic mossy floral. Legesi is the best of the bunch for the summer and the sweet barbershop lavender in it lasts for a surprisingly long time. But it's not citrusy or particularly uplifting. Jaipur edt also fantastic, but it's a bit sweet for me on summer days. All 3 are solid pickups though and could potentially be worn all year. For something in the same vein if you live in North America, I might recommend the sparkling mint-lavender of Carven L'eau Intense. There are testers still available at Jomashop for $25 usd, and it comes with a very high resale value once they disappear. For the same price a 100 mL of Azzaro's Pour Homme L'eau would be my second pick. Hope that helps.
I love the old school fragrances My favorites where Aramis Devin,Alain Delon,Pino Silvester,Jill Sander Man,Kouros YSL,Anteus Chanel and Polo green by Ralph Lauren. Some available this time but terrible remastered My all time banger was Pino Silvester cologne ( with the brown top) nowhere to be found anymore,The remastered version is realy bad😢 Love your comments👍
Great list you got there. Of the Aramis Gentlemen's Collection, I've got the original, the 900, Havana, New West. I've had my eye on Devin for years, but was afraid it might be too 'cinnamon'. What do you think? The only vintage fragrances that I was ever inspired to buy were Kouros and Polo green. And I've smelled Antaeus, too. All great frags. By the way, if you like Pino Silvestre, try Acqua di Selva by Visconti di Modrone, which is in the same ballpark. It's also a classic, but much better than Pino Silvestre, IMO.
@@BertRussell4711 thank you,Aramis Devin is still available but also remastered. I was a barber for 10 years and we had Aqua di Selva and also Aqua Brava puig ,both still very nice colognes. Thank for your review 🙏👍
WOW I had all of them my first ever boss in 1978 used to wear ARAMIS ,fantastic memories ... wish they would bring back Marc Jacobs BANG ...... never had more comments on one fragrance !
Safari es fantástico. Bogart Pour Homme es más interesante que Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, que hoy está bastante débil si es que antes no era así su fórmula.
First time I wore Aramis an attractive married woman looked straight at me and just said "you smell F*cking gorgeous" right in front of her husband, I thought he was going to punch me but I still wear it 45 years on.
Aramis was my dad's going out fragrance . I now own his bottle and do occasionally wear it myself. I'm a women btw. It's a classic to me.❤
Aramis is a quality spray.
Paul, safari is the one fragrance I wore more than any throughout my life .

I wore this the day I got engaged, the day I got married and the day my first daughter was born … loved the stuff …. Absolutely a classic
I think this is arguably Paul's best video idea, brilliantly executed.
I love all these and love vintage
I still rock Estee Lauder's Pleasures for Him every so often in the warmer weather. Still a banger despite being 27 years old, in my humble opinion.
Low Cost Retro Vintage Men’s Fragrances:
1) Aramis by Aramis - leather chypre
2) Paco Rabanne Pour Homme - classic barbershop
3) Calvin Klein Obsession - spiced amber
4) Cerruti 1881 - 1990 classic barbershop with juniper
5) Safari by Ralph Lauren - woody aromatic
6) Givenchy Pour Homme - woody spicy
Great lineup, Mate!

Aramis is beautiful! Proper masculine scent. Will be getting a bottle next month for sure

PR Por Homme is the best! Great video

I was wondering if this fragrance works in the summer heat.l? I'm on the lookout for a cheap long lasting summer fragrance🤔

Cerutti 1881is kinda like Sculpture by Nikos in the mid 90's 😉
Hey man,
Can you suggest a good summer perfume from lattafa?
Cheers 🥂
I have all these except Givenchy pour home. I have Givenchy Gentleman (74) though
I love your channel
I love the old school fragrances
My favorites where Aramis Devin,Alain Delon,Pino Silvester,Jill Sander Man,Kouros YSL,Anteus Chanel and Polo green by Ralph Lauren.

Polo Green, thought I was some lad back in the day wearing it…haha memories
Delon had a fragrance??? I want to smell this so bad...
@@jameshaynes7062 Hé had several fragrances,Iquitos,Samourai but Alain Delon homme was my favorite
Some available on the internet for very much money🤔
WOW I had all of them my first ever boss in 1978 used to wear ARAMIS ,fantastic memories ... wish they would bring back Marc Jacobs BANG ...... never had more comments on one fragrance !
I Love Aramis, Aramis 900, Aramis Devin, Aramis Havana.
Safari es fantástico. Bogart Pour Homme es más interesante que Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, que hoy está bastante débil si es que antes no era así su fórmula.
👍👍👍👍
Safari is similar to Pasha de Cartier to me, anyone else agree?
