I stopped watching other reviewers because all of them talk about the same fragrances over and over again, you’re different in a good way from the rest, I like that you’re not selling us a fragrance, just honest reviews😉

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I’m glad you enjoy the videos thank you for watching and commenting bro!

[@sergiovazquez8599]

Amén 🙏🏼!!!

[@olmanperezgomez9203]

Me too, got tired of the same sugary waters like Sauvage, Bleu, One Million, Invictus, Profumo, Profundo, all the gourdman waters, over and over again

[@bostonp3931]

Another great list! You quickly became my favorite fragrance reviewer on KZbin based on our similiar fragrance favorites. Much love from Boston my man.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Thank you for watching and the the kind words dude ! Glad you enjoy the videos

[@seandean8104]

Yes exactly. It's actually my favorite Fragrance channel. Well done.

[@aginacarlo]

Kalen, You give your opinions and information regarding a fragrance without being vulgar. You do not indulge in sexual references, i.e "panty droppers", Also you do not market specific houses or YOUR FRAGRNACE. Keepin' it clean and honest. WE LOVE IT!!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Thank you always for all the support !

[@surfgreen111]

Love the content. Haven’t heard of any of them so this was really entertaining.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Check them out they are all great ! Not expensive either

[@thetones0130]

Nailed it with the tennis club ref with sergio tacchini! Throw back to one the most prolific tennis stars of the 90s, Gabriela Sabatini, who was sponsored by his brand. Ive read good reviews about the fragrance, now I’m all in.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

The stuff is very fresh and active scent I really like it!

[@RamseytheRam]

These are some serious hidden gems my friend. I can honestly say i havent gotten my nose of any of these. My favorite italian frags are d&g pour homme the euroitalia version and acqua di parama colognia intensia. I love those two frags and need to try some of these out. Great content!! -Ramsey

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

The original D&G pour Homme is very good, I love Acqua Di Parma colonia the original as well

[@justaddlight]

Wow what an awesome vid. Chris from Scent Land recently featured Soldano Black in his interview with Dan (Mr Smelly) mentioning how the plastic exterior of the bottle reminded him of the dashboard of a specific vintage Italian car. Really considered getting that Tacchini the instant it came up at a local discounter too. Props on that vintage Trussardi!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I saw that it was such a great video ! The Trussardi Uomo fresh is so good I can’t stop spraying it lol

[@user-gl9jx5iz7f]

Very well chosen fragrances!!!spot on....These are the real hidden gems!!! I have 3 of them in my collection,sergio soldano black and white,plus the star of the 5 fragrances sergio tacchini for men,which is fantastic,long lasting and most of all classy......Cheers from Greece

[@blainetrahan8883]

You are correct, I never heard of any of them. Great video.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Thanks dude ! Check some of these out

[@asafhalevy5927]

Even these days I still use Sergio Tacchini and I still think it smells amazing and unique. Tnx bro 😎

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

It really is very nice, like Lacoste and tsar mixture

[@halfnorfolk5310]

I have Annucci...vintage 1989! Bought this from Dillard's department store when I was in High School. I had to wear this one with my polo shirt collar popped and a herringbone chain! It's a great cologne. Definitely brings back some great memories! I have got to try the Sergio Soldano (black). Gotta say, the Italian fragrances are beautiful. I'm glad you tested the Sergio Tachini! Saw this one and wasn't sure about it because the brand is very old school tennis. I had a Sergio Tachini tennis warm up jacket back in the day so I wasn't expecting a fragrance from them when I first saw this one. I think of all Italian fragrances, Gucci Nobile is the most beautiful. I have a half bottle of this discontinued and rare gem. Because the price is steep, I bought a clone of the Gucci Nobile by Alexander de Costa Nobile Royalty for around $25 about 15 years ago to use instead of the Gucci since its too expensive to wear everyday but the price skyrocketed so high that I couldn't get a second back up bottle! I guess that's what happens when a clone gets too much hype! It's been awhile but I'm not even sure Alexander de Costa is still around. Thanks for your reviews! More to add to my growing wish list!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Anucci is so nice and I love my herringbone chain lol. I have Wanted to get a bottle of Gucci Nobile for a while it’s just always so much for like a half full bottle or a 25ml lol I hear it’s somewhat similar to Drakkar noir

[@BdBh339]

Just purchased Sergio Tacchini based on your review, the edt was 13€ and the aftershave 9€. I am very excited to try this one out!

[@timshull59]

Good video man enjoyed your takes.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Thanks so much for watching !

[@robertkerr9527]

Ended up buying a bottle of vintage Denim from the 70's and it is just amazing. Put some on this morning, walked into my bedroom to get a clean short and my wife said she could smell me on the balcony! I need to save some of this juice and compare it to what I find in the stores now. We have another flanker here in Europe called Denim Gold with notes of Lavender, Apple, Juniper, Amber and Suede. I buy 2 100 ml. bottles for 9.95. Denim is a great deal that I will never give up.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Haha that’s great ! Denim is like still amazing to me how great it is and how inexpensive it is as well

[@robertkerr9527]

Appreciated you review of Italian frags. Will be driving to Ticino in 2 weeks for vacation. Since it sits on the Italian border of Switzerland 🇨🇭 I thought I'd keep my eye out for some of these in the shops. Who knows? I love strong projecting scents. (But not my wife. )

[@sergiovazquez8599]

Lol 3 of these scents got my name :) . The first one reminds me of the bottle of Bijan for Men! . Good choices , away from the mainstream. Sergio Tacchini is really tempting for a blind buy !

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

25$ and I loved it, it’s close to many great classics but better suited for spring and summer. Tacchini and Uomo fresh as well

[@jerryseymour730]

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey sweet as! Am a fan of the old school, as well as current frags. Am very disapointed i only started collecting after realising Tsar was discontinued. It's one of those fragsi remember being a "proper" fragrance in my teenage years (90s), unlike Eternity CK (which i still remember fondly). Managed to find one second hand being sold in my area (Sydney, Australia), but that was dumb luck. Dua should revive it!

[@salvatoreconte831]

Hey Kelan, great video ! You must try Aqua Fresca Vetiver from house of Antonio Puig "GEM!" I know you'll love it !

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Thank you ! Still being made or is it discontinued and hard to find ?

[@brunogiambroni1422]

I've been wanting to try Trussardi Uomo! Annucci sounds great!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Trussardi Uomo fresh is awesome Same with Anucci. They are definitely different but both smells so nice

[@minigouda2024]

Hey. Nice review. I have the 4 Saldanos (black, white, beige & mandarin). When watching this review my scent of the night = Arrogance Uomo (1987). Arrogance (pour) Homme (1982) will arrive soon. 😉

[@fernandoferdinand4866]

Anucci I love but have to get a new bottle. I easily used up the last one. And Sergio Soldano Black I also loved but can't find that anymore I used up after the gym. 1970s-80s Italian men's perfumery rocked, the majority of my vintage collections are Italian fragrances ie: Ferre, Trussardi, Versace, Valentino.. etc. You have great style bro and I dig fashion style.. . 👍💯😎

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Yeah Anucci is so nice really lasts long too, I got my soldano black on eBay pretty easy for 40$ I think so it’s still available. Thank you for watching and commenting Fernando !

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I have had my eye on that one for a while I have yet to try it, how is it ? Thank you for watching and commenting Larry !

[@MattRichardsonX]

My favorite Italian fragrance is Missoni -Great juice!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I think I only have tried that one once in a store I can’t recall how it was

[@TheBTEAMwins]

Dude AWESOME finds, I’ll DEF be looking into these. Perfect timing too as I’m looking for something different. Hey u check out polo cologne intense yet? I did at Macy’s ....eh...

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

All of them are great ! The white soldano is the only one I’m so so on. But I have not tried the new polo but I assumed I’d feel the same on it. How was it ?

[@TheBTEAMwins]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey it’s basically polo dry down with a minty modern twist to it. Fashioned toward a younger audience to bring them in. No heavy tobacco or anything like that

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@TheBTEAMwins does it still have the pine green notes at all ?

[@TheBTEAMwins]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey a little in the dry down and that’s it. I honestly don’t think it’s THAT BAD. I’ll have to revisit it or pick it up when it hits discounters but it looks like polo rushed it for current modern audiences

[@RB-vf1uo]

Sergio Tacchini is such a sleeper, found it at a local drug store and looked at the reviews. I love it ! Also consider Conino Lamborghini Millennials, rubard and pepper is so creamy and extremely unique !

[@Josef_R]

I got the Anucci today and I love it. It's similar to Faconnable, but better. Faconnable was my favorite barbershop fragrance, at least these two are what barbershops smell like to me. I already want a backup bottle because I'm gonna spray hard.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Yes Anucci is so nice I enjoy it and it lasts and lasts! To me less if a barbershop scent more just floral fresh. I did a list on barbershop fragrances

[@solomonsvineyard5371]

What's up bro it's great to see you dont see you much but I love these kind of bids and these are some great frags my kind of stuff bro so take care just stopping by peace

Thank you russel !

[@solomonsvineyard5371]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey you welcome bro peace

[@Mas_Tun]

Not a lot of people talk about Anucci. I've been curious about the Sport version or whatever it's called. Not a lot of info on it (I also went overboard removing the cap for that popping noise when I first got it lol)

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

That pop noise is funny. The sport version I actually got at the same time as the original, I had a sample of the original before I bought but I blind bought sport along with it. I didn’t care for the sport it smelled like something else I have had years ago, couldn’t think of what it was but I didn’t like it nearly as much as the original. Id pass on it personally but then again it’s so cheap if you really wanted to get it it’s no big deal

[@PapierDeutscher]

Tested Sergio Soldano black and white, they're huge hits for me. In the same ballpark like Drakkar but different.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

They are both good I really like black out of the two, check out Sergio Tacchini as well. Thank you for watching and commenting

[@janepko]

I'm living in Poland and oft use Sergio Tacchini and Lamborghini Millenials. Great scents.

[@Darkandahalf]

Intrigued by the Anucci. Found a site selling it for $46 here. Thanks for the video.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

It’s great! Much less on fragrancenet & fragranceX and probably least on eBay

[@valueink]

I get Gucci Nobile vibes from Sergio Tacchini. It also has hints of Ricci Club. t's sooo good. And I got it for only $20 CAD. Unbelievable value. Hidden gem.

[@gillesboileau2327]

Trussardi is a great underrated house, just got Riflesso and Amber Oud.....there both great!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Really is underrated I agree

[@aquamanvonfloozerhoffen5067]

Hey Kalen, I KNOW you must have sampled Polo Cologne Intense by now. Next review?

[@Lukas-tv9ei]

Try Arcipelago Uomo by Acqua dell'Elba if you can. Also an Italian, unknown fragrance. For me, one of the best fresh fragrances and although I have already tested several hundred fragrances, I do not know anything comparable.

[@regismonkton]

I found this video to be helpful.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Thank you for watching and commenting dude

[@mcscotty325]

Acca Kappa 1869 is a nice one.

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

Great review again, have you ever thought about creating your own fragrance?

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I have considered doing that, maybe someday !

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Yeah sounds good, something old school, beast mode powerful. I'd definitely buy it.

[@gentlemangaz3651]

My favourite Italian house has to be Acqua di Parma. When i go to italy on vacation nothing smells better in the blistering heat than the ADP line. 🙂.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

The original Acqua Di Parma colonia is among my all time favorites, it really started my whole interest in classic men’s fragrances

[@gentlemangaz3651]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey it’s beautiful isnt it? I have quite a few ADPs and so far the Essenza and Almalfi are my favourites. When i start my new job i will buy loads more from the house 🙂

[@bromunn8102]

Yes, that first fragrance bottle does remind me of Bijan for Men......Have you done a review on that one? It's a great cheapie.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

[@Yourcheerz]

Damn my dad had an empty sergio soldano black bottle in the early 90s. Didnt know what it was but it reminded me of plastic Fiat interiors

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I hear it does resemble older 80’s Italian car interiors lol

[@Yourcheerz]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Yup same quality 😹

[@PG-yi9iz]

Trussardi Uomo Fresh, my all time favorite, most complimented fragrance. I love it, Trussardi should re-release it. Timeless.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

It’s so good, and so unique too like no other “fresh” style scent has taken the path Trussardi did with that fragrance. Thank you for watching and commenting sir ! The whole trussardi fresh collection photo is on this channels Instagram page to check out

[@AB-xh4vr]

I had trussardi but sold my set it's nice but don't last.fades away fast

[@rjj6094]

I’d suggest Grigio Perla and Touch by La Perla. First is very barbershop and a more modern version of Drakkar Noir. Touch has similarities to JPG’s Le Male. I like them both but GP has a special place because it has more substance. Also, Tino Cosma is a unique one. Very 80s but in a good way. Hardly anything out there mentioned but worth the effort if found. All of these are discontinued as far as I know.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Thank you for the suggestions, are they hard to find ?

[@rjj6094]

Grigio Perla and Touch I’ve only seen on EBay but they are getting less and less. Tino Cosma is much harder to find because it was discontinued many years ago. I’m fortunate to have the original with the turtle on the bottle. It was reintroduced I believe around 10 years ago in a different style bottle but never tried that newer formulation.

[@DaDiSant]

Annuci is pretty close to the discontinued Givenchy Insense ( the yellow )

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Is it really ? I was curious about that one I don’t own it

[@TheBTEAMwins]

Yeaaa buddy!!!

[@mikev880]

Get your hands on the original Fendi Uomo...one of the best. Lancetti Homme is another nice one.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I hear fendi Uomo is awesome I have never tried it

[@djilyaz]

Didnt Sergio tachinni make athletic gear? I would think it would smell sporty....I havent heard of these, Balenciaga pour homme is Italian I think, and highly regarded as an old school powerehouse, ive never tried it, and its overpriced now since being discontinued...

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Yeah they have a clothing line, lots of track suits which look pretty cool Actually lol, they have that 80’s tennis active vibe with the cologne. I got a sample of balenciaga pour homme, it’s very cinnamon spicy I wasn’t as impressed as id hoped I’d be so I never pulled the trigger on a bottle

[@jackhasselhoff1021]

I think it's more Spanish like Paco Rabanne Carolina Herrera Narciso Rodriguez Prada

[@lordpendragon4867]

is SS Black similar to Arrogance uomo

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey That's true, sadly. Here they're found in every drugstore, grocery store, supermarket, you name it. The Musk is not muskier at all just greener, and the Black is a terrible clone of Drakkar Noir, the Gold is horrendous, they launch a new flanker every week.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@manlyscents yeah black is a shitty clone of Drakkar noir, Acqua is a bad clone of cool water. The musk was just a syrupy slight musk bad kouros wanna be to me I didn’t like it at all. I have heard denim 1976 is okay though have not tried it yet

Hello! Just have watched your fantastic review! 🙂️ I got Mine bottle of Soldano black today and I was bit confused, I expected to much maybe, but then after hour or so I stated to figure out this one. On the bottom of my box it is written that is produced by Fine Fragrance. Do you have the same bottle? Opening is harsh, I would call it, dark lemon, and then some smoke, strange.. It was earlier distributed by Intercosma, now by Fine Fragrance, I hope that they did not change the formula. Best wishes! Vlada

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Hello, I also have the fine fragrance version I was unaware that it was made by another company previously. I have heard nothing about the scent being reformulated or anything so I’m sure our bottles have not been changed. The dark lemon smokey green scent is a great description. It reminds me of a more citrus forward one man show or Krizia Uomo. Thank you for watching and commenting Vlad !
