A lovely bit of nostalgia thanks. I used to love Versus Uomo, it was my signature scent in the 90s for many years, I had loads of complements wearing it. I wish they would bring it back. I lome the Bulgari Aqua scent too but like a lot of flankers they don't last long before they're discontinued.
I'd be surprised if Guerlain has indeed discontinued Mouchoir de Monsieur - it's been in production since 1904! My personal discontinued favourite is Phileas by Nina Ricci. I first bought this in a scent shop in St Helier, shortly after its launch in 1984, and wore it daily 'til it became imposssible to find in UK department stores. The closest fragrance I've been able to identify is Yatagan by Caron, 'though it's missing something compared with Phileas.
Some great choices here. Gucci Nobile is probably the one fragrance I miss the most. A wonderful fougere. I also want to mention Amouage. It's a pity they discontinued some of their best fragrances like Bracken Man, Silver Man and Myths Man.
My biggest miss is tom fords for men extreme, although duas clone is not to far away,I hope they bring it back in the signature collection, another great video sir .
I have Dua River Fougere. It's pretty good but not as nice as the real thing. I have the real thing too. The vintage can bottle. Phoenix Shaving's clone of Rive Gauche Pour Homme is really good too.
@@michael_galicia I’ve tried it only once. From what I can remember it had a bit more of that star anise and dried down with a woody aspect. There is a seller at the mall where I live that has a bottle in his case I’ve thought of purchasing it but still haven’t. Back about 5 years ago he had loads of older / vintage bottles of great frags even older bottles of polo green and Fahrenheit , Dune , Jules . Gucci LIDGE He was asking good prices although still expensive. He said an eBay buyer came in and bought all of it. The Rive Gauche was overlooked I guess.
@@mrrob4590 Thanks so much for the comments. I purchased a vintage Cartier from a small shop and they gave me a 6 pack of Intense samples of like 2/3ml vials. So my only reference is of the Intense as I never had the vintage original bottle to compare it to.
Keep an eye out for the upcoming release from FragranceBuy's Fomo. It's almost certainly a clone of Envy. Kelan from SOSJ also mentioned a dollarstore version from EAD called Enthral that he also thinks is spot on. 5£ I think? 🤔 Might be worth looking into.
You're spot on Dan. But more than a sign of the times, I think it's also a sign of the target consumer base. Seems the tap that's attached to old people's butts is running dry. 🍑 I think we just have to reach deeper. If you get my meaning. Maybe that'll learn 'em.

Mr Smelly I live your videos but this one is so depressing. You may as well call it “Great things you can no longer get.” Have you tried those reformulation companies that can make a bottle of a fragrance that is no Longer in production? Would be interesting to try one.
Bowling Green was a serious loss in the fragrance community . Guerlain is cool they have a great catalog but to call it a dusty version of heritage is outlandish . It's more citrus herbaceous heritage is semi buttery

Versace Versus Uomo, ADP Colonia Assoluta and YSL Rive Gauche 💪💪💪 great fragrances!
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
Colonia Assoluta is stunning! It is light and has depth at the same time- perfection!
Mugler cologne
ADG Profumo
Aqva Amara
Great video as always Dan!

Thank you very much.
D&G By man 😢 Please please someone make them remake this fragrance

Amazing discontinued gems brother. Great list!!
YSL pour homme
Gucci nobile
Rive gauche
Tsar
Love the review...thank you Dan!
Great list
Im wearing another one: Tiffany for Men (1989). Fantastic fragrance and I stocked up on bottles.
DK for Men (1994) is another one. I still say it kicks Aventus' ass around the block. That false king.
Some great choices here.
Gucci Nobile is probably the one fragrance I miss the most. A wonderful fougere.
I also want to mention Amouage. It's a pity they discontinued some of their best fragrances like Bracken Man, Silver Man and Myths Man.

Thank you
I cherish my bottle of rive gauche I supplement with river fougere. Just as nice but I’m glad I have the real thing
Great! Dua’s River Fougere is a great alternative.
I have Dua River Fougere. It's pretty good but not as nice as the real thing. I have the real thing too. The vintage can bottle. Phoenix Shaving's clone of Rive Gauche Pour Homme is really good too.
What are your thoughts on the vintage Rive Gauche Intense version?

Gucci Envy is one I miss most. Nothing I've found smells near it...... 🤷🏻
Envy is the best Ginger fragrance I've tried so far.
Great scent

Floris Santal
Yes - I agree Floris Santal definitely gives Gucci Envy vibes 👌
Colonia Assoluta is great. I bought a full bottle 5 years ago and I’m afraid to use it because I don’t want to run out.
Insensé was lovely. I have one of the 5ml samples which i darent open!
Think Cristobal Pour Homme has also been discontinued(lucky enough to find a bottle of this a few years ago).
Dan do you see similarities with houbigant cologne intense and ADP colonia intensa
I don't.
When will you have Bon Viveur 100ml in stock please
It should be back in the UK in late 2024. So sorry for the fragrances absence here recently.
It's a very sadnews it discontinued even one of this I don't have
Mr. Smelly what is your #1 80s powerhouse?
Acqua di Parma Colonia Leather de Concentree 😔
Calvin by Calvin Klein is my all time favourite discontinued perfume.
What do you think of essence vault clones

JPG - fleur du male.
Good call. I miss Coriolan. I seem to remember a similarly.
Perfumes Balenciaga, sumiram todos.
I miss the original Lacoste Pour Homme -
