Prada Black is the only fragrance ive ever paid retail for. $130 at Ulta. Worth every penny. Its one of my fiance's top 5, its one of my favorites, i feel like it fits my personality and style as I like to wear dark suits with floral ties, and i'd pay retail for it again without a second thought.

The metallic note on Egoiste Platinum reminds me of MFK Gentle fluidity silver. The OG Egoiste is another banger. I love the classic touch, spicy, timeless.
As we have talked before. I agree the original spice bomb is probably the best, I do like the red a lot too. I got coach green because of your video. It is great especially for a rack store price
I'm taking unsolicited credit for the inspiration for Platinum Egoiste! I was disappointed when I first sprayed it because I was expecting classic Fougere with a modern edge and the opening doesn't have the modern edge so I thought I'd just got an old school scent, but within 10 minutes the modern edge pops out. Really looking forward to a spring/summer event that requires a shirt, it's going to kill in that situation. Not to brag, but I picked up a partially used 100ml (80ml left) on eBay for £36!
Love that rotation Gerard! Mine, once again, consisted of frags that I only have travel sizes of, not full bottles: Sun: Goldfield & Banks: Bohemian Lime Mon: Eight & Bob: The Original Tue: Maison Margiela: Jazz Club Wed: Tom Ford: Tobacco Vanille Thu: Creed: Erolfa Fri: ATH: Supernova Sat: Imaginary Authors: Sundrunk
Solid rotation this week, and you finished strong with Prada Black. Phenomenal scent. Some good news, Prada clarified and they seemed to only discontinue the 100ml bottle, you can still get the 50ml. Weird, I know, but there you go. Today I tried to revisit Givenchy Gentleman Cologne and yeah, unfortunately it's still underwhelming. I've been trying to enjoy that one for a couple of years now, and it just never wows me. Yesterday though, I decided to layer two discontinued and hard to find scents, Guerlain Vetiver Extreme and Guerlain L'omme Ideal Cool, and I smelled AMAZING. Take that, rest of the world that doesn't own these two Guerlains!
@@gerardgeorge I checked on Sephora, Ulta, and the Prada site. Sure enough, Sephora and Ulta both have 100ml bottles left, and the Prada site is only selling 50ml now and has the 100ml out of stock.
I'm not a fan of Sauvage at all, but I LOVE Coach Green. It's been hard to find in my area. I see Coach Blue at Marshall's and Ross from time to time but can't find Coach Green at discounters or perfume stores in my area. Of course I can get it online, but like trying to support locals stores (since I go in there to smell all their fragrances.. LOL) especially when it's a scent I know I will love and use daily.
Chanel Egoiste Platinum is my dumb-reach for the office. It’s really first rate, though I am told it used to be better, making me a little sad-at-missing-out-maybe-sorta? I will look for Coach Green at Burlington- I was just there and didn’t know to look for it, so not sure if I just missed it. I saw Guess Seductive Noir for cheap, might go back for that anyway.
@@gerardgeorge Thanks -- I'm not hopeful about my local Marshall's or TJMaxx, given how slim the pickin's have been... but it's worth a quick look. Same strip mall as the Burlington. (Or maybe it's not a Marshalls but a Ross.... I barely know the difference).
I’ve been hunting that coach green in my rack stores!! Also really wanting to add Platinum Egoiste to my collection as well!! I have 2 of the Tumi fragrances and I love them as well!!
I like the lineup I been looking for the Coach green bottle at discount stores still no luck . I will say I just got Mancera Instant Crush and never having smelled it before I was blown away of how good it smells I highly recommend trying it if you get the chance.
Still haven’t tried a Tumi fragrance yet. I have one of their briefcases, though. 😂 Couldn’t agree more on Platinum Egoiste. Definitely among my top favorites.
wore the original egoiste today and luna rossa black yesterday. egoiste is nothing like platinum, it's a slightly tobacco and rose/floral scent. also wore prada amber, boss scent magnetic and dunhill x-centric.
Gerald, I was in a Marshalls a few weeks ago and picked up a bottle that was more of a frosted blue color and smelled like a clean bar of soap. I went back the next day and it was gone. Do you know what that name might have been?
Hello Gerard, I'm digging the video and rotation . I'm interested in all of Fragrances in rotation. SOTD TAXCO ( CHEAP CLONE OF THE TUX). STAY SAFE BROTHER. PRADA LUNA ROSSA BLACK IS OUTSTANDING
@@суперИлюша-я7е I think jack of clubs is closer to the opening of og la nuit. Even in its drydown. But still a very good clone. In the air no one is gonna tell you it's not la nuit
Jack of clubs i bought this after your review, its not worth the hype im not getting enough projection and sillage, it only lasts for 1 hour and then perfume remains very close to body after 1.5 hrs
The coach green did nothing for me and I don't get the kiwis note it literally reminds me of just a basic EDT of any cheap release out there original coach is good but this I don't think it's any good
Ill get murdered for this, but I'm unimpressed by Prada Black.. the smell is pleasant, but it only lasted maybe 2 hours on my skin.. was basically a skin scent right away
@@gerardgeorge i have a decant, i find it's actually a relaxing scent before bedtime, also because it's so faint on me.. maybe i'm just not spraying enough.. but i was just expecting something different I guess
Hey Gerard , I live in new hamshah not far from you. I’m an up and coming fragrance reviewer. I’d love to pick your brain. If you could reach out I’d appreciate it. I’d love your input. I’ve been a fan for quite a while. Hope to hear from you soon:) thanks man
Not sure why many think that Sauvage is worn by everybody all the time. As an owner of more than 200 fragrances I’ve only smelled this being worn by others on 3 occasions in the past 3 years. And, I’m out and about often. I’ve smelled Creed Aventus, Tom Ford Black Orchid and Viktor&Rolf Spicebomb at about the same frequency. Fancy that. 😎

Coach green is a late 2023 release. A banger and total sleeper
Total sleeper I agree
How long has it been since the release didn't it came out like round Last Summer?.. 🤔
Love Coach Green and Coach OG.
They're a couple of my favorite scents in my collection but they have poor longevity and projectivity for me
It’s fantastic for the money.

I ordered a bottle of that el ganzo Friday edition after watching your review. Gotta say it smells great! It reminds me of D&G the one a little bit 👍
So happy you like it!
You’re the goat of colognes in my opinion. What would you recommend for a clean, soapy fresh smelling cologne?
Prada L’homme is one I would recommend

Yes this is one I definitely want to try. I haven’t smelled it before. I think I’ll do a discovery set video for mancera.
Should I get turathi blue or Jack of clubs
Haven’t tried Turathi blue yet. They do however clone Sedley and Bleu Electrique and in my opinion Turathi Blue would be the more versatile scent.
Great job Boston Bro! Thunder buddies! So wish that Green Coach didn’t cause sneezing think it’s the oak moss but love it. Damn it
Hahaha great movie! I have a few that make me sneeze too I still wear em
@@gerardgeorge yeah tis the fun! Allergy doc confirms colognes can cause reactions, but stubborn Boston strong will wear them lol
Egoiste Platinum was my 90’s signature. 👍
Fantastic choice.
Do you have any recommendation to smell mainly?
Brut!

How do you like the briefcase? Looking at some new luggage myself haha

Yea I still need to try the original
🔥 choice's love the video G stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
Thanks Antwain!
I wore Trussardi Reflesso today. I always though the orignal YSL Lhomme was better than La Nuit. Also got way more compliments with it.
It’s a classic in my book does everything well.
Gerald, I was in a Marshalls a few weeks ago and picked up a bottle that was more of a frosted blue color and smelled like a clean bar of soap. I went back the next day and it was gone. Do you know what that name might have been?
Was it a loose bottle, no box?
That's why I just grab it especially under $25

Hi Gerard) how close Jack of Clubs to the original blue elecrtic in percentage?
Tough to say. Maybe 75%.
@@gerardgeorge which one is the best?)
90% close to my original la nuit (2013). I don't know why people keep saying it's a clone of blue eletrique, it's clearly an original la nuit clone

@gerardgeorge just a heads up, it gives off a chronic smell, at first.. up close, lol... but it's fire after that, at least to me...
Jack of clubs i bought this after your review, its not worth the hype im not getting enough projection and sillage, it only lasts for 1 hour and then perfume remains very close to body after 1.5 hrs

That sucks John can't like em all!
As you mention Jack of Clubs, do you happen to know Poker Face by Lapidus? Would be interesting to compare them side-by-side. Which is better?
I haven’t tried that one actually.
Jack of clubs is better. Poker face has an iris note on top of it, too powdery and feminine, not for me
