What I like about this gentleman Mr Lanier Smith ,that’s He is not here to hype a fragrance or advertising for companies ,he is here to shear his love,passions,feeling and memories and that’s what’s the fragrance all about. So happy to see you making videos again and I wish you all the best my friend. Cheer’s 🥂
Beautiful video with the accompanying music. I just became aware of some new fragrances to try. Thank you Lanier. How does the new Cabochard Eau de Parfum compare with your Cabochard in the video? Thank you so much.
There is something warm and enveloping about Grey Flannel on a chilly, drizzly ... dare I say 'grey' fall or winters day. You are my go-to youtuber for classic & classy old school fragrances.
Woke up early this late October morning to a drizzly, dreary, grey sky which seems just right as we have been experiencing drought conditions. I am enjoying a hot cup of coffee while my thoughts are already contemplating the day's fragrance, a true fragrance lovers M.O. 😂. The obvious and really only choice is my beloved Grey Flannel. I am so excited to finally enjoy it's green, musky, earthy bouquet in such conditions as today has offered. It just wraps the wearer in the most beautiful fragrance cloud that seems tailor made for this dank, fall weather. As a side note: I simply adore WD! Liz knows a thing or two about them and fragrance. Cheers! ♥️
@@timme2844 I loved reading your comment. You write beautifully. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your morning with me and everyone who reads about it here. Yes, we’re so lucky that Elizabeth shared here passion for diamonds and perfume with us. Cheers to you Tim.
It’s nice to watch a classy presentation, down to earth, straight to the point kinda video! Mr. Lanier Smith thank you for such great fragrance content
Always a huge treat to sign-on and see one of your fragrance videos sitting in the queue. Excellent topic and you covered some great inexpensive fragrances. Offhand, I'm most interested in putting my mitts on Rochas Globe, with my 2nd choice being White Diamonds (I know, it's been on my to-sniff-list for years). Definitely some masculine OG gentleman's scents perfect for the Fall. Speaking of gentleman's scents...the weather cooled down a bit over the weekend here in Texas, so I wore both Givenchy Monsieur and Chanel Pour Monsieur over the weekend. Needless to say, I always think of you while wearing Pour Monsieur since I know it's one of your favorites. Cheers, Monsieur Lanier L'Elegante.
Merci Jim. I so enjoy your comments and I’m very appreciative of you continued support. Do let me know here you jump off that White Diamonds cliff. Lol. Cheers
Bowling Green works splendidly for me. You likely already know that Canoe was originally marketed towards women when initially released but Dana changed to targeting a male consumer once the barbershop fragrance genre became more popular. I have adored your channel for years. It just oozes class and compassion, making us all better humans ❤
Rob thank you for reminding me of Canoe’s gender bending past. Just goes to show that fragrance is universal for men and women. And thank you also for your very kind words about my channel. Cheers
@@laniersmith1798 You are very welcome, dear. Also, I just ordered White Diamonds for my mom on the day this video was released. Sounds like I might need to sneak a few sprays before handing it over :)
@@laniersmith1798 Hello, dear friend. Although my mother was not fond of White Diamonds, I am in love with the elegant scent and decided to keep it for myself :) Also, Facconable arrived this week and I am enamored... a 90s freshie with mint and white florals. Can't wait to wear it more this spring. Hope all is well!
@@robky-LD Rob thank you all is well with me and I appreciate your asking. So glad Facenable was a success! Ah White Diamonds! You know I love that ET fragrance for so many reasons. By the way I listened to Katie Parry’s ten part podcast on Elizabeth Taylor here on RUclips entitled Elizabeth The First and she did an entire episode on her perfumes. I didn’t know that White Diamonds is the number one selling celebrity fragrance to this day and that a bottle is sold every 15 seconds! I have to do a video about that LOL. Cheers my friend
I received Liz Taylor’s White Diamonds in a fragrance lot I purchased a while back and I was honestly blown away by how beautiful it is though I didn’t feel comfortable wearing it myself so I gave it to a lovely lady. I recently acquired a vintage Canoe cologne and while I found the opening more powdery than I care for the dry down is very good! Great picks - I enjoyed your video.
Bravo Baz on two wonderful and brave purchases. I’m really pleased to hear you were impressed with White Diamonds. Very thoughtful to give it to someone who could enjoy it. Cheers
I loved all the photos of you as a young man! You were extremely good looking! Did you have a career as a model? Aren't you thrilled that you have such wonderful photos of yourself in your glory days? I love a good photo and you have an impressive collection! Glad to see you back.
No I only modeled once when I was 21. Runway in Los Angeles. Never pursued it any further than that one show. Furs for Men... I was very tall, so the long mink was what they threw on me. Those photos in the intro are models mostly from perfume ads. I simply use Re-Face to insert my 26 year old face. It was fun. Cheers.
Very interesting lineup of fragrances. I was going to bring up the link between Cabochard and Aramis but you expertly beat me to it. I don't have Cabochard but I do have Aramis. My Dad used to wear Aramis back in the late 1960's early 70's. It's one of the few "rough" fragrances I like (along with Hermès Bel Ami). Facannable is an interesting fragrance. I paused your video and went and sprayed mine on card. Fresh, sweet, floral. I was introduced to the brand in the 1990's when I bought a Facannable microfiber jacket, olive green and very stylish. $300 back in the 1990's. I just received my first bottle of Canoe by Dana. Similar to Brut with maybe a little Yardley's English Lavender thrown in. Aqua di Pino Fougere really doesn't give me the classic Fougere accord, even though it has lavender. It smells more like a fresh alpine Woody Aromatic.
@@alex_pearl no I have not! Judy Garland? Hummm.. now that should be interesting. Any idea who the nose is and what house is releasing it. LOL I suppose I could just google that. Thanks Alex.
@@laniersmith1798 I hadn't heard of it until just the other night. It sounds like a real treat, it's good to see her memory honored, and I love that Liza, Lorna and Joey were involved in the project! The nose behind it is a man named Vincenzo Spinnato. I'm not familiar with him. It also looks as though it's being released as a private label fragrance. It doesn't seem as though it's being released by a larger brand. I'm going to order a bottle. 👍🏻If you do, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
GB Bowling Green and Yardley Elite both lift me up! It’s true. Gold is hiding in some of these classic budget fragrances. Paul Sabastian is another one! I just went crazy when I smelled it. It reminds me of Habit Rouge. Miss you Lanier! Nice to see another fab interesting review!
I got acquainted to Yardley Gentleman Elite at Epcot in Disney World. I smelled it and immediately got blown away. It didn’t have a price and I’ve never heard of it until that day. It smelled very sophisticated, elegant, and rich yet a little playful. I didn’t buy it because I can’t risk it getting thrown away if TSA won’t allow it (just wanted to be on the safe side since i travelled this time with just a carry on). However, I took a photo of it and planned on buying it once I got home. I was very surprised I found it on Amazon and I was shocked at how cheap the price was. I’ve been wearing it for a month now and can easily be a signature fragrance. It’s not loud and doesn’t project and last like Sauvage but it is the type of fragrance that can stand on its own without being announced (if that makes sense😅). And I wouldn’t mind spraying more or again as the day goes by.
I cheer when you post a video and ooooh + aahhhhh through your intel. You are so elegant + chic. I love that Faconnable and wear it as a woman. I had no idea re: the Cary Grant + To Catch a Thief connection (one of my favorite films I watch again + again). Hear, hear for Cabochard. I feel such pity for those who don’t like it. What a risk-taking gender-bender. Thank you for this!
So glad you're back! It's absolutely love Faconnable. It's so underrated. It is inexpensive but smells like a niche fragrance. I have back up bottles of it. I'm so glad to see It get some love. I actually sent a bottle of this to Ramsey and he reviewed it on his channel with a few other fragrances. Or,he kind of just did a quick first impression and unboxing of them. I also love grey flannel, white diamonds, cabochard. Have you tried Elizabeth Taylor passion for women or men? I love both
Great video Lanier. Canoe is an absolute gem. If you haven't tried it yet i recommend Encre Noir. Bought it last fall and it's.....special. I'm wearing it today actually. Won't break the bank and you'll smell unique.
I have a lot of the fragrances you explored in my collection. They are wonderful. It is always great to hear from you, Lanier! Great opening music. Thanks for the post. I hope you are well. See you next time.
So I had read on the scent lands channel comment section that you missed the scent of passion by Elizabeth Taylor. The original blended cologne. I have actually bought a .85 ounce bottle new old stock. And I find the scent to be rather intact. Would you like me to mail you this bottle. I got two in the listing and I have a two fluid ounce bottle that I also picked up for six dollars so I have more than enough and I would love to share some with you.
Yay!! I love your channel and reviews!!! So excited to watch this now and enjoy a few minutes more of the magic of fragrance. Thank you for such fun olfactory journeys!!!
@@cme8174 oh my that was a long time ago. Perfumed Dandy was a great reviewer and a good friend. He suddenly vanished leaving me wondering what ever became of him. Miss that dandy gentlemen.
Thank you for this list. I am well on my journey. As a young guy it is great to have a variety of old classics, I have tested a few new scents but much prefer the old notes and layering. Growing up my father wore Paul Sebastian, and that in my teens became my signature scent, go a few ladies go who smells so good in the high school classrooms. Very much a one spray scent. Then got Pasha de Cartier which I love as well, Blind bought Geoffrey Beene which I am slowly growing more fond of. Grabbed a few cheap more modern scents: Givenchy Pi, Herrera Chic, Varvatos Artisan Pure, Tous 1920 Orgin. But I do keep gravitating to these old scents. Which of the list would you recommend as a must buy? (if you could only choose one to recommend)
Hi Nathan, oh let me see, um... a blind buy, a must have. Ok, None of those appeal to me I'm sorry to say. Might I suggest, Dunhill British Leather, Santos De Cartier, and Chanel Pour Monsieur Eau de Parfum. I loved your comments thank you so much. Cheers.
Lanier, just found your channel and love your videos. Thanks for the great video and the wonderful suggestions. Do you find these mentioned fragrances to be great performers? I just stated collecting fragrances, Mostly cheapies for now but To be honest I’m tired of buying fragrances that have sub par performance, Thanks in advance!
For the most part they are good performers. Especially the old classics if you can get a vintage bottle. Thank you for joining in on the conversation. Always a pleasure to say hello to a new follower. Cheers to you Dohnjuan.
Hi Lanier. I have a question. I would like to get Cabochard. But I went to Amazon to look up Cabochard. What I found is woman's fragrance. Is this the one?
Hi Karl, I much prefer Elite to Gentleman Classic as the Classic is too sweet for my taste. There is a white chocolate note in it that I didn't care for. I'm not saying it is a bad fragrance just that it was rather generic and not to my particular taste. Thanks for asking. Here is my review on Elite. ruclips.net/video/VXRZZ88MFxM/видео.html
@@laniersmith1798 ... thank you Lanier I actually found and watched it last night. Disappointed by the generic sound of Classic ... especially since it is the only one I have found at discounters online.
Well it’s a bit of movie magic Major Tom. I took an old photo of me when I was 25 and with the Re-Face app I transposed my face onto a variety of different models and actors. And if you look really carefully there I one actual photo of me from 1980. Cheers
Well, Jessee I'll tell you, but it is a secret just between you and me. The man is me; you see I took a photo of myself taken when I was 22 and with Lensa I created these photos with several different fashion models and film stars such as Tyrone Power, Alain Delon, Richard Gere and so on. So now you know. Oh yes, One fellow in a hound's tooth coat and no moustache is not me, but a friend of mine who is a property master in Hollywood. Lensa again. Cheers.
@@laniersmith1798 You look like a 1930s Hollywood actor!! I was so perplexed to see one I hadn’t known of, who looked so familiar, especially such a handsome one! I can very much see that it’s you now, that explains how intrigued I was. very very good looking, classy gentleman you are!
Well, you never know with Lanier... If you think of him like the old Studio system, it goes something like this. Lanier is like Goldwyn Studios in the 1940's as compared to MGM, Fox, Colombia and Warner Brothers. Not a lot of productions in comparison to those giants, but when Goldwyn put out a picture it was usually a good one. Just finished a review of Safari for Men and for Women so that should be up soon. Let's see how that goes. Cheers Western-Oud.

Well it’s a bit of movie magic Major Tom. I took an old photo of me when I was 25 and with the Re-Face app I transposed my face onto a variety of different models and actors. And if you look really carefully there I one actual photo of me from 1980. Cheers
Really miss your content. Dont watch too many reviewers anymore.
Ah, thank you Eric. Cheers

Thank you darling Tiff!
Who is the man in the intro??
Well, Jessee I'll tell you, but it is a secret just between you and me. The man is me; you see I took a photo of myself taken when I was 22 and with Lensa I created these photos with several different fashion models and film stars such as Tyrone Power, Alain Delon, Richard Gere and so on. So now you know. Oh yes, One fellow in a hound's tooth coat and no moustache is not me, but a friend of mine who is a property master in Hollywood. Lensa again. Cheers.
@@laniersmith1798 You look like a 1930s Hollywood actor!! I was so perplexed to see one I hadn’t known of, who looked so familiar, especially such a handsome one! I can very much see that it’s you now, that explains how intrigued I was. very very good looking, classy gentleman you are!
@@JDlupin thank you Jessee that’s very nice of you to say. Cheers!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Christian! Cheers.

Thank you! Cheers
two uploads within days of each other..does this mean Lanier's back..?
Well, you never know with Lanier... If you think of him like the old Studio system, it goes something like this. Lanier is like Goldwyn Studios in the 1940's as compared to MGM, Fox, Colombia and Warner Brothers. Not a lot of productions in comparison to those giants, but when Goldwyn put out a picture it was usually a good one. Just finished a review of Safari for Men and for Women so that should be up soon. Let's see how that goes. Cheers Western-Oud.

I'm a warm-blooded fragrance enthusiast on the internet, so a cheapy list gets me salivating (Gets my atomizer spraying? Gross).
LOL careful where you point your atomizer! Cheers VitaminBeez.

Rochas Globe is not inexpensive anymore Lanier 🥲
Yes it has gone up recently on most sites but I have found it at a reasonable price on EBay. It just takes a bit of searching. Cheers!
