I'm 72 years old, so Grey Flannel smells good on me, but to me it is only to be worn with a suit and tie. For some reason it seems much too formal (stuffy?) for anything else.
I laughed out loud when you said Joop! is a synthetic mess because it's so true. To me there are just no notes at all, it smells eerily identical to this tooth numbing gel my mom use to use when pulling my teeth out as a kid.
Blind bought Joop Homme regardless of its polarising reputation. I sprayed it once and hated it. Big regret. Now I’m trying samples before every purchase.
Years ago I blind bought The Dreamer at retail price. Took it home, opened it up, sprayed it, and instantly regretted it. I agree with you 100%. It smells like it’s for an old man. I gave it away. Grey Flannel has that similar type of smell. I think of bug spay every time I smell these.
Cheap. Cheap. Cheap. Mega cheap! Thanks for this as I disdain the idea of spending money on fragrances and then they don't deliver! Appreciate your time!
Bro,I swear you were correct on every one of those..I used to get those frags at Marshall's and tj maxx..I quit those stores,when I experienced Tom Ford's TOBACCO OUD and OUD Wood, and even OMBRE leather, I realized why the price was high..newbies beware..Sample Creed Tom Ford or Killian, you'll immediately get where I'm coming from...you were SO spot on I subscribed, because i know you're honest..
The dreamer is a hate or love. I love it. But be easy on the spray it performs and projects good and ladies say they love to smell and might wear it themselves.
Love this vid Ross, we need more of these. I know what you mean about The Dreamer. I wanted to love it so much, but its just a tricky one for me. I do like Silver though, despite at first using it as a room spray
Joop! If you wear this, you better be a fast runner, because people will chase you out of any place you try to wear it with pitchforks and torches, ha!
Thanks for the tips, Ross! Great and much need video. Please do it more often, if possible. I was seriously considering some Cuba fragrances, but now I'm going to stick with better quality affordables.
Another great video and I gotta say I agree with you on some of these, at least the ones that I smelled. Cuba fragrances are all a synthetic mess and I wouldn’t give that to an enemy. Joop, Grey Flannel, Dreamer and Carrera black are all horrible too. The one that surprised me that you included in this list was Mont Blanc, I’m actually hunting for it. But after hearing your reasoning I can understand, I don’t like redundant bottles either.
Totally with you on Versace dreamer! I did the same with Joop Homme and bought it because of the hype and ended up hating wearing it. Now the Geoffrey Beene Eau de Grey Flannel ! Smells Amazing! Nice aquatic summer scent! I also feel that Givenchy Gentlemen EDP is an old man powder fragrance. I've worn it twice can't dig it.
I experimented with Grey Flannel my freshman year of college. I'm sure it was even stronger then than it is now. I was immediately turned off, and showered as soon as I got out of class. It was the worst fragrance I have ever worn. Maybe I was too young to appreciate it, but I totally understand what you're saying on this one. I guess you either love it or hate it.
That’s what’s up,man!You are right about Emblem Absolu.I bought a gift set at TJMAXX two weeks ago,cause I have other two Emblems in my collection.So I ended up returning that.Like you sad smells like Boss Bottled and it was shitty performance on my skin.I sprayed 6 times and after 2 hours I barely could smell it.
Not all Cubas are bad. I've got into fragrances quite recently and I may not know much but I own Spicebomb Extreme, Maison Margela Jazz Club, Azzarro Wanted By Night etc... plus a shitload of Divain dupes like TF Tobacco Oud and Tobacco Vanille, Mancera Red Tobacco, Nasomatto Black Afgano, D&G The One and many many more... And I gotta say Cuba Red is one of my favourites.
Just found this video. I actually like Grey Flannel, I remember liking it when I was a teen back in the late 80s. Back when I was wearing Lagerfeld and CK Obsession scents. Haha memories
Back in the early 90's.....Joop was the club banger....If you had a bottle in college, you had to hide it cause everyone wanted in on some Joop....I actually still wear the Joop cologne at times, stays close to skin, won;t project, but I still like it. I think its better than Individual...Easily.
I gave The Dreamer to my teenage son, he likes it, I wasn't keen on it, the biggest issue for me was its lasting power or the lack of it! on my skin was appalling, couple hours if I was lucky, I too got sucked in by the hype. One of my worse blind buys though is Calvin Klien Reveal, this is awful, to me anyway, maybe it was the Vetiver that's not a note I like much, collects dust...lol Also Bentley Intense, too heavy, another bad buy for me, sold it soon after. My Mrs didn't like any of these either..lol
You have to let Grey Flannel settle for like an hour or two, after that amazing. I was like you after I first tried it, I disliked(I try to not use the H word)it. Set on my dresser for about 5,6 years and for some reason I picked it up one day and sprayed it on a random t shirt that was laying around. Walked past that shirt hrs later and smelled something great. I didn't know what it was I forgot I had sprayed that shirt. Walked past 3 or 4 times before I realized it was that t shirt. I couldn't believe how good GF smelled after a few hours of drying down. If u still have that bottle put some in an atomizer and spray it on a shirt your not wearing and let it sit a few hours you might change your mind. I never thought I would wear that cologne. I still don't know what made me pick it up after an half decade of not spraying it. Glad I did. I'm 2 years older than u and I feel confident wearing this older cologne.
Joop Homme, to this day, is the worse blind buy purchase in my collection. The moment I smelled it, I was immediately turned off by it. It smells like what a male stripper would wear in the 80s
Awe man😂 I wear grey flannel. But then again I’m on a oilfield drilling rig. And we have way more nasty smelling chemicals here😂. Great video keep em coming
Just picked up the original penguin in a gift set at Marshall’s red tagged to 13$ I like it but don’t love it better suited for the cold weather I think. Great video
Greetings from NYC, my brother! New subscriber here. 1 comment I have to make is in regards to the Cuba cologne you don't like. The mistake of getting Prestige Black is you should've gotten Prestige GOLD instead. Creamy, warm and sweet. Similar to a donut shop/ bakery. A beautiful gourmand! Super long lasting and perfect for the coldest winter days. Especially around the holidays. You MUST give that one a try. Keep up the great content, my brother. Cheers!
I totally get the Versace The Dreamer I got it at Marshall's for under $20 and I love the house but old lady smelling to me . Love what yer doing keep it up
I am sure we all have a regret list. Lol. I should start getting decants first. It is expensive buying full sized to find out they don't give with my skin and nose. Granted, there are some I do not like at one point, and end up liking in another season. Great video man!! Keep it coming.
I actually like Grey Flannel. Very popular when I was young. But yes, it's a very unique fragance, with a strong 1970s vibe, and a prominent violet note. Definetely not everyone's cup of tea.
Man I love Cuba black wore it through out high school 😭 I still have my same bottle and spray it now and then and it still smells great and brings me back good memories
Spot on with Joop and The dreamer, I cannot express my regrets of buying The dreamer, Joop I at least could give to my mom cause of how feminine it is. Lesson learned
Gray flannel is old man/ farts dust, dreamer, cigar black didn't fall for it but did throw away joop. You always crack me up! Oh I just remembered al rehab silver... Old man's girlfriend bottled.
You made me laugh so hard I spilled my beer on the Cuba Prestige Black. I agree with you that it smells better in the air or the test strip that it will ever smell on your skin which is why it’s been relegated to the “vehicle air freshener” category and at some point to the “bathroom aerosol replacement” status at the crib. I just subscribed today and have been playing your videos consecutively - you’re very entertaining and relatable as a fellow thirty-something that looks like he’s in his twenties 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love vintage Joop Homme. A beast. Todays version is garbage. Hardly any projection. One thing i cant understand. Why would someone be mad just because u dont like a cologne? Thats just not something worth getting mad about. Make a video on how to apply cologne
Glad I’ve found Joop here ! I have the same opinion as you on that one but everyone seems to adore it... I bought the 200ml version so I regretted 125ml more that you 😂
Enjoy you reviews sir. A fragrance that everyone seems to go crazy about that I recently bought that I regret getting is D&G The One. While the scent is fair to good the performance is terrible on me. I can’t smell it on my skin two hours later. Keep up the great reviews!
You have a horrible version of Joop! Try the 80s/90s vintage version. Complex raspberry jasmine cinnamon scent. The one you wore is literally cotton candy & BO- awful! Make sure the juice is a brownish red.
Completely unrelated to the video topic but it hit me at 13:16 Dude you have some serious jawline action going on.😯 The bone structure plus the facial hair is giving me Wolverine vibes🔥🙌 lol
I would like to try the penguin original. Where can I buy it? Sounds like a fragrance I would like. Just started watching your videos and starting my collection. Love your channel bro. 👌🏼
I bought dreamer, joop and individual based on Jeremy fragrance recommendations. They all became my bedroom scents, not for my skin. Especially individual, smells good on my bed and pillows, like clean/fresh laundry. I have many of the colognes TLTG recommended and they smell great. This is why i subscribed to this channel.
I think you're right about the Cuba however there is one and only one that smells fantastic that is the original gold and that one is well worth the $8.99 at Ross
Ross,test out Ferrari Scuderia Black Signature. Even on my dry skin I get 5-7 hours. Uh,Ross I agree! Even senior men should NOT wear Grey Flannel,wicked funk!🤢
I just blind bought Tommy Bahamas 'Very Cool' tonight for 20 bucks. It leaves a lingering odour smelling of baby power. A definite waste of 20 bucks. That and Hollister's Festival Nite.
I agree with all these not being good. Although if you like Le Male you'll like Cuba Gold and if you like Mugler A*Men you'll like Cuba Prestige. They even perform better then the originals. Cuba Red is supposed to be a Invictus clone, never tried it though. Cuba Prestige Black is supposed to be a Swiss Army clone and if Swiss Army smells that way yuck! Good video.
Grey Flannel…gotta’ go with two sprays and wait for the powdery dry down. My wife likes powdery frags. Versace “The Dreamer” smells very similar to Le Male with added tobacco. Once again, a couple of sprays does it. I gave away Nautica Voyage and Azzaro Wanted because with both, the dry downs on me made me cringe. I know, Heresy😂 Top most hated … “Fahrenheit”. This stuff smells like gasoline or oil or something nasty and actually repulses me.
Lol. Alot of those i feel the same. I took 2 bags of bottles to work and gave them to the ladies to give to their husbands. The only ones i regret is 212 summer.
My regrets Bond No. 9's Cooper Square =Too Boozy Jones Beach= too much Calon Creed's Origional Santal= Too Sweet and cloying Acqua Di Parma Colonia Club= cant vibe with the Mint This list is based on the scent but I'm stickler for performance and I hate to get a scent and it doesnt last, that list would probably fill a page but tops would be Milliseme Imperiale but I love that stuff so I layer that with Parfumes Vintage's Sillage of Unicorns.2 to 1 ratio
You like what you like.... like you say, "very subjective." The best take-away for me on the video is I do not own any of these. hahaha. Wish you the best from Apple Valley, CA
I agree with you on every fragrance except for Silver. Doesn't smell feminine to me, man. It was my signature scent for a while during my college days and my male friends liked it too. A nice video though. Love your channel.
Maybe donate them to Goodwill or a homeless shelter? The Vervace Dreamer isn't bad, but it's not very good either. I'm curious to smell the Grey Flannel just to see how bad it really is.
I ain't trying to buy another bottle of dreamer..you can come off that bottle and send it to me..watching old videos and got a good laugh...great content then to now..
I saw this vid a while back but what caught my eye since was what I thought you were holding and that's Cuba Prestige. While Cuba Black is trash as you stated Cuba Classic is a dead ringer for Pure Havanne (I own 2 bottles) after the 10 min mark. It's amazing and only $12. You have nothing to lose...but 12 bucks 🤷🏿♂️
I can understand what you mean when you call Joop Homme as "Synthetic Mess", It is one of the worst fragrances I have smelled. Thank god, I did not spend money on that. If Montblanc Individuel smells like that, then I am dropping my idea of buying that. The oil version of Silver smells much better.
Joop Homme used to be an amazing smelling sweet powerhouse. Now, after the reformulation it is disgusting, synthetic, weaker performing & gives me headache...
You know I agree with you about the dreamer. I actually gave that bottle away. I feel like I should have had to pay them to take it from me. It just was absolutely terrible. I think it's the only Versace that I don't like
I'm 72 years old, so Grey Flannel smells good on me, but to me it is only to be worn with a suit and tie. For some reason it seems much too formal (stuffy?) for anything else.
wrong. I've used it in all situations, it's a classic
Videos like this are just as important to both the collector and casual consumer.
I laughed out loud when you said Joop! is a synthetic mess because it's so true. To me there are just no notes at all, it smells eerily identical to this tooth numbing gel my mom use to use when pulling my teeth out as a kid.
I had Joop when it first came out and I used wear it in the summer heat! Can't even imagine doing that now! Lol
Blind bought Joop Homme regardless of its polarising reputation. I sprayed it once and hated it. Big regret. Now I’m trying samples before every purchase.
Lmao
To wear Joop in the Summer, Caused Headaches or A Migraines!
I felt the same for versace the dreamer at first. Then It grew on me later on and I like it.
to each their own. i just wasnt a fan

Joop! If you wear this, you better be a fast runner, because people will chase you out of any place you try to wear it with pitchforks and torches, ha!
Keep up the good work bro!! I almost bought Joop at Burlington’s Saturday for nostalgia but got F black and davidoff adventure instead.
much better choices. trust me lol
Haha thanks bro. I’ll stay tuned so I get those treasures not trash. God bless
Holy Spirit fire Tv exactly lol
Thanks for the tips, Ross! Great and much need video. Please do it more often, if possible. I was seriously considering some Cuba fragrances, but now I'm going to stick with better quality affordables.

@@tanz5389 lol Same dreamer is like you may as well wear baby powder! Lmfao
@@judithjolly1938 I don't get baby powder, which i'm not afraid, but a weird mix of a bad rosy lavander and tobacco note.
@@tanz5389 hmm ok yeh I never bought it. Had a friend who liked it
Dreamer to me was very dated and old man ish. I’m glad tjmax lets you return.

I don't like colognes that smell like powder, and usually that's because of the vanilla, and there are A LOT of colognes that smell like powder.
Cuba gold is vanilla powder.

Gourmand frags are tough for me. They get lots of attention in the community but I have regretted blind buying those bottles.
Eduardo Castellon I hear you on that
I agree with you on the Versace-The Dreamer...I try to like it but can’t.
OK - you had me until you said Grey Flannel. GRRRRRRRRRR!
I'll admit that I'm close to 50, though.

Cuba gold, orange, and red are good. I will avoid the black!! Thanks brother!
Brian Cramer avoid it like the plague lol
Red and Orange have some nice spice game going on and of course Gold is the OG.
Prestige classic is also surprisingly nice
I hate Joop! also. The blind buys I hate are: The Dreamer, Issey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey, and Eight and Bob The original.
@@VapeTime79 It is just too feminine for me. I like smelling it on others, just not my skin. Sometimes gives me a headache if too much is spayed.
Gray flannel is old man/ farts dust, dreamer, cigar black didn't fall for it but did throw away joop. You always crack me up! Oh I just remembered al rehab silver... Old man's girlfriend bottled.
Great vid man...Versace Blue Jeans is that for me.I have friends that love it but blah...it smells like going in to work on your day off with the flu
Dude your so right about Joop and the dreamer!!! I absolutely agree!!!
You made me laugh so hard I spilled my beer on the Cuba Prestige Black. I agree with you that it smells better in the air or the test strip that it will ever smell on your skin which is why it’s been relegated to the “vehicle air freshener” category and at some point to the “bathroom aerosol replacement” status at the crib.

I feel the dreamer starts out rough but the dry down is sikkkkk!!!!1
Yup, you nailed it!
I also have Cuba prestige Black. I've had it for probably about 2 years and I think I've sprayed it once
Interesting list. Original penguin surprises me, when it dries down on me it smells like Mont Blanc legend
Regrets include Silver, Bulgari Acqua Amara, Mugler Cologne, Blue Jeans, Tommy Bahama St. Kitts and Tom Ford Tuscan Leather.
@@snortchgortch4253 never thought about it. But I would be willing to do either..
You don’t like bvlgari aqua !?!
@@johnnyq9007 Correct. Well, I now use it as a toilet freshener. So, I like it better than the smell of 💩
Glad I’ve found Joop here ! I have the same opinion as you on that one but everyone seems to adore it... I bought the 200ml version so I regretted 125ml more that you 😂
Very professional again. No curse words. Excellent.
Grey flannel is probably the one fragrance I felt like throwing away immediately. Smells like moth balls
The first time I smelled Grey Flannel I thought it smelled like mildewed fabric
Ugh I hate it. So dry and the vibes are stern old man.
I knew the black cigar one would be in there! haha "Spray these now, don't blame me later!" haha
Enjoy you reviews sir. A fragrance that everyone seems to go crazy about that I recently bought that I regret getting is D&G The One. While the scent is fair to good the performance is terrible on me. I can’t smell it on my skin two hours later. Keep up the great reviews!
The parfum version performs for another hour or two and is a bit deeper
You have a horrible version of Joop! Try the 80s/90s vintage version. Complex raspberry jasmine cinnamon scent. The one you wore is literally cotton candy & BO- awful! Make sure the juice is a brownish red.
I'm not interested in hunting down a vintage bottle
Completely unrelated to the video topic but it hit me at 13:16 Dude you have some serious jawline action going on.😯 The bone structure plus the facial hair is giving me Wolverine vibes🔥🙌 lol

Ross,test out Ferrari Scuderia Black Signature.
Even on my dry skin I get 5-7 hours.
Uh,Ross I agree! Even senior men should NOT wear Grey Flannel,wicked funk!🤢
I just blind bought Tommy Bahamas 'Very Cool' tonight for 20 bucks. It leaves a lingering odour smelling of baby power. A definite waste of 20 bucks. That and Hollister's Festival Nite.
Watching some old vids, this one is awesome! Do it again with more recent regrets
Great video. I am with you on all of these, but silver isnt too feminine for me.

Cuba Red is supposed to be a Invictus clone, never tried it though. Cuba Prestige Black is supposed to be a Swiss Army clone and if Swiss Army smells that way yuck! Good video.
Anthony Rodriguez exactly! Appreciate the feedback brother
I agree about dreamer as a stand alone frag but it is a great base frag. Put something floral or soft on it while it is still wet and POW !
Silver and Carrera Black are two of my best "bang for the $$" fragrances. It is all subjective.
Louis Thompson exactly. Some people love these. Just not for me
Haha!! I agree with most of these. I had Al Rehab Silver and binned it, I never got The Dreamer and don’t get me started on Joop! Lol
Grey Flannel…gotta’ go with two sprays and wait for the powdery dry down. My wife likes powdery frags.
Versace “The Dreamer” smells very similar to Le Male with added tobacco. Once again, a couple of sprays does it.

Lol. Alot of those i feel the same. I took 2 bags of bottles to work and gave them to the ladies to give to their husbands. The only ones i regret is 212 summer.
Dreamer is a great fragrance and I rock it all the time.
My regrets
Bond No. 9's Cooper Square =Too Boozy
Jones Beach= too much Calon
Creed's Origional Santal= Too Sweet and cloying
Acqua Di Parma Colonia Club= cant vibe with the Mint
This list is based on the scent but I'm stickler for performance and I hate to get a scent and it doesnt last, that list would probably fill a page but tops would be Milliseme Imperiale but I love that stuff so I layer that with Parfumes Vintage's Sillage of Unicorns.2 to 1 ratio
The armaf version performs really well!
I like him but I couldn't disagree more on Cuba prestige black that's fire. Dreamer is fire. And Notting Hill is nice.
To each their own
I love Grey Flannel 😂, the one i realey regret : Amouage Figmont it’s so bad for so much money.🤮
Cuba: " its a scrubber" lol
Notting Hill does dry down to a slight BO odor on my skin, might have to try to layer it to get some wearings out of it
😂 Ross this just popped up on my feed. lol Cuba Black Prestige. Blast from past
You like what you like.... like you say, "very subjective." The best take-away for me on the video is I do not own any of these. hahaha. Wish you the best from Apple Valley, CA
I agree with you on every fragrance except for Silver. Doesn't smell feminine to me, man. It was my signature scent for a while during my college days and my male friends liked it too. A nice video though. Love your channel.
I wore joop in the 80’s. Not anymore. N yes. I live in houston as well
Redundancies are probably my biggest regrets .
Maybe donate them to Goodwill or a homeless shelter?
The Vervace Dreamer isn't bad, but it's not very good either.
I'm curious to smell the Grey Flannel just to see how bad it really is.
I ain't trying to buy another bottle of dreamer..you can come off that bottle and send it to me..watching old videos and got a good laugh...great content then to now..
I got rid of that long ago lol. Thanks for watching though
I saw this vid a while back but what caught my eye since was what I thought you were holding and that's Cuba Prestige. While Cuba Black is trash as you stated Cuba Classic is a dead ringer for Pure Havanne (I own 2 bottles) after the 10 min mark. It's amazing and only $12. You have nothing to lose...but 12 bucks 🤷🏿♂️
Man, I just discovered Grey Flannel a couple of months ago and liked it. I'm 43. Maybe I should get a few other opinions?
If you like it, that's all that matters
I agree, wear what you like. Lots of people hate Dior Sauvage, but just as many love it.
I can understand what you mean when you call Joop Homme as "Synthetic Mess", It is one of the worst fragrances I have smelled. Thank god, I did not spend money on that. If Montblanc Individuel smells like that, then I am dropping my idea of buying that. The oil version of Silver smells much better.
Mont Blanc Individuel is wayyyy better. It's a good buy. Try it
@@TLTGReviews Ok. I will try that in Douglas. Have you tried Joop Homme Ice?
@@hauntylad5555 no I haven't
Received The Dreamer from a colonge novice for Christmas Ross.
Tobacco-y scents along with Musk-y scents don't fit in my collections!

Joop Homme used to be an amazing smelling sweet powerhouse. Now, after the reformulation it is disgusting, synthetic, weaker performing & gives me headache...
Exactly. The original was a raspberry jasmine cinnamon musk scent fascinating dna. They turned it into cotton candy & salty BO. -AWFUL!
I blind bought that Penguin thinking it was another. Man did it smell bad.
Al Rehab Silver Oil roll on, that’s the one guys, not the spray. The oil is amazing.
JOOP = POOP the worst fragrance on the planet.I wish more reviewers were as honest about frags as you, a breath of fresh air Thanks.
You know I agree with you about the dreamer. I actually gave that bottle away. I feel like I should have had to pay them to take it from me. It just was absolutely terrible. I think it's the only Versace that I don't like
