    Your reviews are like a wonderful old style production. They have the magic effect of taking me to another time and place.
    My first encounter with a British perfume was my grannys Yardley Bond Street. How gorgeous!
    Nowadays I have Burberry London but my favorite is Floris Special 127. Eternal class and timeless elegance!
    Beautiful video Lanier!

    Being British, specifically English, I can’t help feeling your choices are exquisite as usual Lanier. In fact it has made me revisit my bottles of 1962 and No.89 (which I’m wearing today). I like the sound (and hopefully smell) of Victorious and Eucris too, so I will surely add those to my collection. Thank you Lanier 😊

    As a Brit I feel slightly honoured! There are some beautiful fragrances there. I would perhaps add a Dunhill amongst them. Looking forward to the Americans! 🇬🇧👍🏼😀

    Your so classy sir, loved the intro, with all the cinematic greats, reminded me off all the great things you could watch on television growing up, got fed up of paying BBC liscence, for rubbish TV, so haven’t watched tv in over 3years, don’t miss it. Smell is so evocative of memories,believe me, as a sufferer of Dementia, perfume transports me to places, people and times past, happy and sad. Thank you Lanier , sue from wales uk

    Fantastic review! The Brits have so many underrated fragrances. Have you tried Eucris Edp? Fantastic longevity and a lot more balanced than the Edt in my humble opinion. My absolute favorite for cold and rainy autumn days. Sandalwood by the same house is also worth checking out.

  • @jimr880
    @jimr880 3 года назад +1

    Very nice...and glad to see a couple of Penhaligon's on the list. My favorites from this house are Endymion and Douro (okay, maybe even Sartorial), but plenty of other great ones too - just wish they performed a bit better. Another one I would include (a personal favorite) is Patrick from Fragrances of Ireland. Okay, it's Ireland...but technically part of the British Isles, so I'll take this liberty. LOL! Cheers!

    My favorite Floris is Elite. Essentially a hybrid of Ralph Lauren Polo Green and Creed Bois du Portugal.
    And unfortunately Royal Mayfair is my least favorite Creed. Very camphorous eucalyptus smells like unrelenting mothballs.
    Currently have Penhaligon's Sartorial, my second favorite barbershop Fougere. On my to-buy list is Penhaligon Portrait Series The Tragedy of Lord George. A barbershop Fougere with a boozy twist.
