Gerard, I subscribed to your channel several months ago and I watch & like your videos. I think that you are an EXCELLENT fragrance reviewer. You bring something new and exciting when it comes to fragrance content. The delivery of your content is PERFECTION in every video. I hope that more and more people find your superb fragrance content and subscribe to your channel.
Ed you made my day my friend. Thank you for watching and thanks for supporting. I welcome any and all feedback and when its kind and postive, it really motivates so thank you again.
I'm in Western NY... and now, all of the rack stores here suck!. Before the virus, they had some great gems. But now, it's just bad. Has been bad for the past two years now. I'm forced to get all my fragrances from online. I'm actually jealous, to see you in the same stores I go into, and your selection is just head and shoulders above what they give us here. It has to be a reginal thing.
@@gerardgeorge Yeah, I 100% agree. I watch your videos, we have a lot of the same crappy ones, but you at least get two or three nice gems... I just get more of the crap that nobody ever buys. I have even talked to the store managers for my local Marshalls and TJ Maxx. They have been (and still are) requesting better frags, they are told some are being sent out... and nothing good ever comes. I have a buddy in NC, his stores are always stocked with the best frags that you don't even get to see.
Thanks for hipping me to this house,i assume every frangrance they make it top tier,I'll keep an eye out for it in rack stores,still waiting to wear uomo signature,maybe this weekend high 60's maybe here this weekend,
I have 3 bottles of the original release gold and black cap MSRP $200+ shipping from Selfridges. I skipped my TJ run this week otherwise I would have snagged it! Good find!
Sounds pretty nice!You gotta try Khashabi by Lattafa,citrus but more lemon forward but with deep smoke/incense!& Also crafted Oud by Maison Alhambra nice creamy lemon with light Oud & a bit of vanilla & musk,,both spring bangers buddd!You & the fam have a blessed day!
Loewe 7 Cobalt is one of my top 10s, a house is burning grabber. I have to force myself not to wear it. You HAVE to try it, Gerard, TRUST ME!!!!!! Jomashop has it.
Big surprise indeed. Many people have hailed this as their favourite iteration of the big A. I'm a huge fan of the vintage edt with the gold and leather cap, but I actually wouldn't mind owning this one myself.
@@gerardgeorge There are elements in the sillage that are definitely similar, but up close it's far heavier on the juniper. More green and less brown if that makes any sense. 😄
Vianney I didn't realize you guys didnt have your own equivalent there. I guess if I were to visit and make content I would be spending all my time in the smaller perfume shops!
@@gerardgeorge I grew up in Maryland and they were always trashed. Lived in Arizona and they were a mess there too. Now I live in Idaho. They're clean but the selection isn't great. The usual suspects. Found CK All and Mercedes Benz EDT today at Ross.
@@gerardgeorge Both are good, affordable summer colognes. IMO, Mercedes Benz has some incredible stuff. I love finding good smelling colognes at rack stores. Still trying for Missoni Wave. Haven't seen it yet. I want to find some John Varvatos too!
Hey Gerard. I have three of their scents, 001 EDT, Platinum, and Pop. And, I like all of them. I have my eye on a couple of more in the future. I have no idea why this brand doesn't get more mention. Thanks for the video.
Tried Solo EDT by Loewe a carded sample from FragranceNet and I loved it and considering purchasing a bottle sometime down the line we shall see. Your rack stores always seem to have interesting stuff whereas mine here in NYC don't have much quality but maybe its just the ones in my area. Great job GG.
TJ Maxx app currently has Lower Agua and Pour Homme for $60 each. Could be really good deals potentially. I've never smelled anything from the house though.
They have a lot of winners Benjamin. I wanted to try pour homme as my understanding of it is a really well done aromatic fougere with a vintage sensibility to it. Its an old one too around since the 70's I think.
It must be a east coast thing/find because here on the other side of the coast, my rack stores are atrocious with their selections. I've pretty much given up on them and to be honest, they are not cheaper than your online discounter where it can be a difference of $10 or so for the same size bottle. Great find though, Gerard!
I can understand that for sure Hansen. There is definitely a thrill of the hunt aspect to it for as well. For the purpose of the channel I'll usually just grab it even if it is cheaper online. However there are times where I end up spending as much or more if I order online because I'm either paying for shipping or adding another bottle of something to avoid shipping.
@@gerardgeorge I can completely understand why you would grab a particular fragrance that's more expensive and as you mentioned, it has more to do with your content/channel. I can respect/appreciate that and you are also right about spending more from an online discounter trying to offset the shipping charges thus by grabbing more fragrances. Keep up the fantastic job, Gerard!
I own a bunch of their 7 line: Cobalt, Anonimo, & Plata. I also own Loewe Solo Atlas. While I like all the scents, I find them to not perform particularly well, especially the fragrances from the 7 line.
I didn't even know they carried $85 there lol. I went to TJM by me today and the highest was Jimmy Choo Urban Hero Gold 100 ml for like $50 I think. I copped a D&G Light Blue deodorant stick for $16 😆😆
I've noticed since I grabbed this one. the Loewe that I've owned before this (solo platinum) I was able to get through Saks Off 5th. That is a beautiful spicy leather fragrance.
@@gerardgeorge I’m gonna go on the hunt for this. I’ve tried Hacivat and wasn’t a fan of the oak moss note in that but if this is greener and has a juicier opening I’m in to try it.
TJ Maxx will have 85 bottles of the worst chemicals you've ever smelled and then randomly a Nishane or something. I saw Ma Reine from Salvador Dali for $90 at a TJ Maxx. I passed on it because I didn't need it, but if I was trying to be a reseller that would have been a solid pick up. I was just genuinely shocked to see it at all.
To be honest, I'm already quite dissapointed by how many different scents there are in the Aventus style. Like sure, it's one of the most successful fragrances, but it's getting to be overkill... 🤨
My local TJ Maxx is total trash. Every time I go in there all I see is eight bottles of Nautica Blue. Haha. My local Burlington on the other hand, I’ve snagged some gems out of there.

Thank you my friend its appreciated so much.
Hello, finally had a chance to try uomo signature,yes,what a great scent,glad I got it, beautiful all the way around,thanks
Yes Vance! Glad you like it!
Nice find Gerard, Loewe is an underrated house that very few on YT talk about but Ifishares always talks about the gems in this House.
I’ll check them out!

Frank there has been some talk of certain regions getting certain fragrances. I think one thing is for sure all store get the same crap frags haha.
Same in New Jersey! Whenever I go somewhere far away from NJ, I always find something interesting!

great video! that was a solid TJ maxx i can’t believe how fire they had in one spots
This was a solid day of stock!
Great find! Saw Nishane Unutamam at my Marshalls yesterday. 1oz was $65~ I passed but cool seeing them in store
This one has been online for a little while Devin on their site.
Thanks for hipping me to this house,i assume every frangrance they make it top tier,I'll keep an eye out for it in rack stores,still waiting to wear uomo signature,maybe this weekend high 60's maybe here this weekend,
Go for it! It was very happy with signature it’s a great scent.
Still finding some bangers at your stores where still I have yet to find any good finds 🙃 lol😅 . Keep rocking brotha 🙏🏿 💯 💪🏿
Appreciate you Swains I’m out here!!
I have 3 bottles of the original release gold and black cap MSRP $200+ shipping from Selfridges. I skipped my TJ run this week otherwise I would have snagged it! Good find!
Nice Mark! I heard that OG is good.
Loewe yes but it’s been luxury handbags. I only know of them through that. Now I’m curious to explore their fragrances! 👍🏼
Yes they are known for the bags for sure. Great fragrances.
I liked to see the glass today.. as long as you can see the price… at least you can see all fragrances and not a mess that sometimes are there
Very true Ismael. It remains organized however not being able to always see the price can be a bit annoying.
The TJ Maxx that you visited has a MUCH better selection than the TJM stores in my area.
I will make the most of them!
Sounds pretty nice!You gotta try Khashabi by Lattafa,citrus but more lemon forward but with deep smoke/incense!& Also crafted Oud by Maison Alhambra nice creamy lemon with light Oud & a bit of vanilla & musk,,both spring bangers buddd!You & the fam have a blessed day!
Thanks Jackie same to you! I’m into the lemon creamy vibe for sure.
Gerard awesome video. That hoodie fits great and looks great, where’d you get it?
Love the fit of these MG. It’s from H&M.
Loewe 7 Cobalt is one of my top 10s, a house is burning grabber. I have to force myself not to wear it. You HAVE to try it, Gerard, TRUST ME!!!!!! Jomashop has it.
This sounds great!!!
that is a come up! ive heard the aventus comparisons w/ loewe. intrigued, dont think im finding it anywhere near what you paid, haha
That was definitely a steal from what I could find on it.
Big surprise indeed. Many people have hailed this as their favourite iteration of the big A. I'm a huge fan of the vintage edt with the gold and leather cap, but I actually wouldn't mind owning this one myself.
This may be better than my Aventus. Yes I saw that original EDT some compare to polo green.
@@gerardgeorge There are elements in the sillage that are definitely similar, but up close it's far heavier on the juniper. More green and less brown if that makes any sense. 😄
Hi Gerard, lucky you are to have such stores in the US .... There are none in France !
Vianney I didn't realize you guys didnt have your own equivalent there. I guess if I were to visit and make content I would be spending all my time in the smaller perfume shops!
Nicest, most organized TJMaxx cologne section I've ever seen.
I’ve heard that before Mark haha!

I agree doesn't make sense! Ive wanted to try 001 for a long while. I should just grab it.
@@gerardgeorge You won't be disappointed. It is work friendly and my wife really likes it too.
Loewe 7 Cobalt is a hidden gem!!!!

Your rack stores always seem to have interesting stuff whereas mine here in NYC don't have much quality but maybe its just the ones in my area. Great job GG.
Thank you my friend. Don’t give up! There seems to be a regional aspect but who knows.
TJ Max had some real nice stuff nice review love the video G stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
Thanks Antwain!

I want to see those prices. I saw a red-stickered Missoni, Wave. I saw an original Coach.
Wave was showing as $48… I got mine for 31.99 on Marshall’s.. no red tag
I know its tough to see. Friggin case!

I heard cobalt is really good.
Wow, my TJ Maxx Home Goods is so pathetic I don't even go in anymore. They usually have 5 total fragrances on the shelf.
Damn that sucks!
I didn't even know they carried $85 there lol. I went to TJM by me today and the highest was Jimmy Choo Urban Hero Gold 100 ml for like $50 I think. I copped a D&G Light Blue deodorant stick for $16 😆😆
Nice I didn’t realize they had deodorant!
Your TJMaxx has amazing stuff, mine has been worse and worse
Some of mine struggle but there are a couple near me that stay pretty well stocked.
Oh damn. Is that up in Burlington?
This was somerville. Assembly Row.
I gotta see what you found MI AMIGOOOOOOOOOO FROM BOSTON 🎉
Yea baby!!!
Loewe 7 Cobalt is amazing! Kind like BDC & Sauvage Edp mixed. Funny enough I discovered it in Spain 😅
This one keeps coming up I gotta grab it!
@@gerardgeorge I think you’ll love it! I need to pick up a bottle this summer
Loewe has been popping up on the TJ Maxx and Marshall’s websites lately.
I've noticed since I grabbed this one. the Loewe that I've owned before this (solo platinum) I was able to get through Saks Off 5th. That is a beautiful spicy leather fragrance.
I heard one reviewer say it was like Polo Green before reformulation. Thoughts on that? Is it Banana Republic 78 Vintage Green-green?!
Vince I think they were talking about the original EDT. There is an older Esencia released I want to say years ago. Different bottle.
Awesome. Great to know! How was the longevity for you?
@@vince_b really good
@@gerardgeorge I’m gonna go on the hunt for this. I’ve tried Hacivat and wasn’t a fan of the oak moss note in that but if this is greener and has a juicier opening I’m in to try it.
I got missoni wave at my marshalls for $16, was marked down 6 times.
Fantastic deal Kyle that’s the lowest I’ve heard of someone getting.
@@gerardgeorge i had to do a double take when i saw, i do have photo evidence 🤣
Hello Gerard, how are you? Great job on the video and review. Great pict up! I wish I could get that lucky. Stay safe brother
Thanks Greg appreciate it I’m well. Hope you are well thanks for watching and supporting!

Hahaha absolutely right. The majority of the Nishane, Xerjoff, MFK, Montale, etc are definitely returns.
NOOOOOOOO WAAAAAY BROOOOO. THAT'S AWESOME!!!!!
Right!!!!
Sounds great bro
Good stuff!
Lucky you. It’s hard to find
I'm seeing that now BH when I was trying to find a suitable link for it.
Man my Marshall’s got rid of the whole damn fragrance locker
I woulda got that light blue intense and the defy edp 😢
I've tested both for the channel myself A1. Found them at the rack!
To be honest, I'm already quite dissapointed by how many different scents there are in the Aventus style. Like sure, it's one of the most successful fragrances, but it's getting to be overkill... 🤨
I couldn't agree more. I think I like this one more than Aventus though!
Great job
Thank you!
My local TJ Maxx is total trash. Every time I go in there all I see is eight bottles of Nautica Blue. Haha. My local Burlington on the other hand, I’ve snagged some gems out of there.
Yeah Daniel it’s been the opposite for me. I’m expecting Burlington to pick up as Father’s Day approaches.
Rack stores around me do jot look that nice and organized and the worst is tj max
Steve I know this to be the case in many places. Kind of like some Burlington's near me as well.
Please make a video of unisex perfumes 😊😊😊 0:12
Good idea I definitely will. Any special requests?
@@gerardgeorge a little bit woody, but still female 😊😊
@@gerardgeorge can a women use cedrat boise ? I think it smell so fantastic. 😊😊
@@karimelby25 yes absolutely unisex in my opinion.
@@gerardgeorge thank you for answering me 👍👍👍
Our tj max doesnt have those
This is rare for mine as well.
bruh which tjmaxx is this 🙏🏽
This one is at Assembly Row in Somerville, MA.
damn you americans and your rack store prowess! 😆
Lots of practice my friend.
Tk maxx in uk is poor with fragrances, hardly 10 boxes in there of average stuff nothing special. They need to up their game for sure !
Damn they sure do!
lol my rack stores look like a barren wasteland compared to yours.
You’re not alone Scott haha
Eh 80$ for that .nahhhhhh
Everyone’s got their price! It’s 🔥 though
Beautiful photo, Khai.
Khai my friend thank you for supporting!
