Duc de Vervins Lextrem is so powerful that SHE left me while things were starting to get hot and heavy but NOT because she didnt like the scent (she loved it) but because it started making ME sick! LOL. I still LOVE the scent! (I need to try and find the edt regular version)

Bois Du Portugal is a great scent but for mature man, and that's me. I wear it in the fall. I wear Aventus anytime I want; it's good all year around. Floris No. 89 is also great for older guys.

89 definitely has that old fashion style but it’s still a good fragrance

Right on. I always considered Colonia Club more of a spring scent, but it actually works surprisingly well in this summer-fall transition. Never tried Cologne Intense from Houbigant, but I remember it being super cheap at discounters at one point before vanishing. Big thumbs up for Bon Monsieur. 👍

Definitely interested in trying Houbigant Cologne Intense. Gets mixed reviews, but I've never heard it compared to Colonia Intensa, one of my favorites. That makes me want to pick up a bottle. I'd also suggest Penhaligon's Sartorial, which I believe you have reviewed. And if we're counting Guerlain as a niche house, Guerlain Vetiver ranks right up there with the best.

Yes I think so. New York Intense is even more upscale and luxurious, with some animalic touches. To me, it's a special occasion scent. I wouldn't blind buy a 100 ml bottle, there are 30 ml bottles too.

Great video Kelen. I want to try Floris Elite now . And the Rouge perfumery one. Have you tried Lagerfeld Cologne by the way? They now call it Lagerfeld classic. The original formula is better but the newer one is still good. Even the new one is discontinued but still cheap. It was Tony Montana's signature scent in Scarface.

I have just experienced Houbigant's Fougere Royale for the first time. A sample I got. It's just magnificent for me. Wearing it in Poland on a surprisingly chilly, dark, damp day at the start of September, but the fragrance worked especially well on a day like this. To me the stuff is magical.

Nice job and excellent choices. I dig your brand and also appreciate you occasionally going outside the “lines” in the name of educating your regular viewers and encouraging new ones through your versatility. Niche does not necessarily mean expensive or even more costly than many designer frags, and this vid carried this message loud and clear while dispelling ignorance and prejudice. Keep educating your viewers by occasionally pushing the envelope and I look forward to your next production.

cologne Intense smelled like curry I sent it back . I enjoy the original Fougere Royale reminds me of YSL Jazz . I spent 80 on Floris Elite back in 2018ish . Ended up using it for air freshener for the house . It smelled like cinnamon pine cone decor in holiday section of Kmart . I should have went for Floris 89 . Club de Parma sounds like a game of tennis or croquette 😀 Sporty . That Rogue Perfumery is a house that sounds stellar grade A class in a glass art in a bottle time capsules a glimpse into days bygone or maybe im exaggerating 😄 .

Dear Kelan, as always - I very enjoyed your list. I'm very curious about the Floris Elite (Kourus and Polo Green are my all-time favorites) and soon I will visit London so I will take the opportunity to test it. I ordered a sample of the duc de vervins l'extreme from DecantX and I've got to say I was disappointed as I can't "understand" the direction of the fragrance. I have another decant of the DDV original (not l'extreme) on its way and I hope this one will be better. I also tried a large sample (5ml) of the Bois Du Portugal and I've got to say it smells pretty close to the Pierre Cardin Eau De Cologne, in its price point I can't see the justification.
