      I've read that fragrances have a shelf life from 1-10 years, with most being 3-5 years. If this is true why do people pay extra for older fragrances that wont smell the same as when they were bottled? Maybe a video on fragrance shelf life would be interesting for the community.

      @@MPerry-ox9qb I have fragrances I bought in the 1980's that still smell great, although it's very possible the top notes are gone and maybe some of the performance. Citrus notes especially are the first to go. I question how anyone can be really sure that what they're buying off of Ebay hasn't been altered in some way. Personally, I would never buy a vintage fragrance unless I found it at an estate sale or knew a friend who was selling it.

  • @Dervraka
    @Dervraka 2 года назад +150

    I've read that the reason older (60's-80's) men's fragrances were so strong and tended to pick a couple harsh notes like leather or oakmoss and just beat you over the head with them., was because they had to be to compete with the cigarette smoke filled social gatherings of the day. That's also the reason the classics have been reformulated and toned down a lot these days. When you do find a bottle of the original, a few sprays are usually strong enough to clear out an entire room.

    Flagship Aramis is still a fabulous fragrance and will be forevermore. It is like one of your female colleagues said in an earlier video: yes, it's a "Dad scent," IF your Dad has been a badass his entire life, from having a van and being in a rock band in high school to being a heavyweight in a board room today. An Aramis TV ad said it years ago: "a statement of classical elegance for the established man."
    Aramis Havana is great too - all the Aramis fragrances in my collection - flagship, Devin, 900, and Havana - are among my favorites.

  • @justinhight8880

    Ok, one thing that may be confusing about Polo, is that it was reformulated about 15 or 20 years ago but recently reformulated back again ( around 2019) to smell closer to the way it did in the '70s and '80s. For instance if you have a 2012 13 or 14 bottle let's say, it's not going to smell as great or string as either a bottle from the 70s 80s or 90s, or one from 2020. For almost 20 years in a row Polo took away the strong sour pine note and added a Christmas tree air freshener note. In 2019 they added the sour pine again and took out that Christmas tree air freshener crap. So it's complex when someone says new versus old Polo. My 2020 bottle smells amazing. But the 2015 bottle dose not. Just keep this in mind when searching for polo make sure you get at least 2019 and up. I thought it was me imagining things until I found other people saying that and even saw a video here on RUclips about how they reformulated it to a Glory Day. So happy it's somewhat back to og status

    I enjoyed this video! Thank you! My dad wore Aramis Aramis and it smelled so wonderful. It was everywhere -wildly popular-as was Drakkar Noir and Ralph Lauren green. My grandparents gave me a bottle of the women’s Polo edp which was wildly popular for a while in the late 70’s/early 80’s. It had that cool red bottle that looked like the end of a cane. My father in law still wears the blue flanker. My former husband wore Grey Flannel and Z-14 in the early 80’s. I remember Grey Flannel being very strong if not overpowering with huge sillage. It was very distinctive. I loved Z-14. I chuckled at the Alfred Sung bottle. I have worn Sung for women for decades.I’ve looked for a new more updated scent for at least 10 years and I’ve not found anything yet that I’m wild about it lasts as long but the bottle is identical to women’s perfume. Sung for women hasn’t changed through the years that I’ve noticed. I still love it. (I recently purchased Miss Dior Cherie which is discontinued unfortunately). Sauvage is the bomb. My son wears it or else I’d buy it for my husband. I love it so much I’d consider wearing it myself! Love your videos-especially the ones for women but I like my man to smell sexy too! 💖

It actually benefited from being layered with a spray of a 3%-dilution of real oakmoss. I didn’t know the Antaeus was that bad. I am currently waiting for two bottles of ODLRPL, one of the most recent reformulation, one vintage from the noughties, I wonder if they’re any better than the Chanel.

Two great classics from the 90’s that I used to wear a lot : XS from Paco Rabane ( the original) and Minotaure from Paloma Picasso.

Now it doesn’t project nor last at all 😭😭

    I have a number of these including Dior Fahrenheit, Eau Sauvage, and Dune. They're all lovely. I would add Quarum by Antonio Puig, a solid "old school" scent. Not quite as sophisticated as the Dior offerings but it is a good reminder of what the 80's powerhouse fragrances used to be.
    As for your theory on reformulations, it's hard to know why the old scents no longer are the same. Health regulations and the elimination of some components may be part of it. A scarcity of resources that create the need to find alternative ingredients? Reformulating to update the scent it to a modern audience? Whatever the case, reformulations seem to eliminate so many classic scents as a choice for modern collectors unless they want to pay outrageous amounts for "vintage" bottles. Such a shame.

    Hi Sebastian! Your Ideas for creativ Lists are the best of all Fragrance RUclipsrs!!👍👍👍 In my Opinion. Fahrenheit is not watered down in the current Formulation. But it has changed a lot its scent profile. They modernised it and added vanilla. Dior did quite a good job with it. The old version is moore boozy.

    Great list and nice insight! I'm very curious what do you think about Boucheron Jaipur Homme (EDP) and YSL Opium Pour Homme (EDT). I think that even today, both are very good. Opium PH is stellar as a matter of fact. P.S. I'm sold and I will get the Guerlain Heritage EDT (I know you said it's better than the EDP).

    • @SinwinX
      @SinwinX 3 года назад +2

      Jaipur Homme is pretty good. I have the edt version and it smells very classy gentleman like. It doesn't smell very dated to me. The drydown is probably the best part which people say is emphasized more in the edp.

    Great list. Polo is probably the very first men's fragrance that I knew by name. I can still smell it in my memory...such a classic. I just recently tried Dior Fahrenheit and Love it. I was also wondering what you thought about CK Obsession for Men? I still find it to be a great fragrance though now I am using EDT instead of cologne probably because it's been watered down in newer formulations.
