[@fletcherabdiel1755]

@Brodie Nico Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@fletcherabdiel1755]

Egoiste is amazing love that one in the cooler weather, great list !

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thank you!!!

[@jkunani2676]

Polo Green is king!! I get so many compliments from it because people think it’s different than the typical fragrances of today. Love your channel!!!

[@claytontharrington2822]

Me too. Love the aftershave.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks a lot J!

[@snortchgortch4253]

Do you have the newer version? I remember buying this in the early 80s and repurchased it over the years, wearing it through the 90s and 2000s. My wife has always liked it on me but my 15 year old bottle went bad. It had been exposed to too many temperature changes, mostly heat, started smelling very off, almost like stale. I purchased a 2 ounce last week. It still smells good but the latest iteration smells lighter and the performance is not what it used to be so that’s not a problem, I just carry an atomizer with me. Just wondering what others think of the 2020 version

[@MoahGentle]

History repeating itself. What was once common, became rare and now can be worn once again!

[@MoahGentle]

Great video! I got some of these.. as I am slowly but inevitably approaching 40 and sample more and more frags, I tend to gravitate more frequently today these mature scents which I most definitely avoided in my younger buck years. Habit Rouge and the Eau Sauvage line are some that I definitely would love to sample soon!

[@laniersmith1798]

Fabulous choices... I am a huge fan of Mouchoir de Monsieur as I am of almost all of these you mentioned. I haven't tried the Dunhill yet. And the Armani is stunning. Wish I hadn't given my bottle away when I relocated from San Francisco. Can't wait to try your fragrance. Sounds simply marvelous. So good to see you as always my friend.

[@ferbeybill]

Nicely done...great list! Wearing Armani today...a timeless classic.

[@michaelt3308]

Gendarme? Always a fav of mine for warm weather...

[@JT-rx1eo]

Gendarme is the ultimate office scent. More so than even Prada L'homme.

[@mobilepsycho]

5:20 legendary. My signature during my college and university years.

[@acquasea]

Eau Sauvage Parfum is incredible. Great to see it included here. I think Chanel Pour Monsieur and and Guerlain Heritage would have been worthy inclusions. Great review and thanks!

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thank Koa. Those two would definitely be worthy additions to this list.

[@dirfrops]

Guess what I just got in the mail!!! I was freaked out as I was on vacation and had my neighbor pick up my parcels. I was missing two packages. So today I went to the post office, rental office, and talked to my postman. I then went on an errand and when I got back home it was on my front stoop even though it stayed it was delivered last week. I now have my Gravitas!!! And omg its amazing. And I can wear it now! Was afraid I’d have to wait for cool weather. Thanks for an amazing scent.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thank you so much Russ. I am so glad you like it!

[@gmoney8888]

I ordered my bottle of yours great video bro as usual

[@jimzadrozny]

Great list. Egoiste is on my buy list. Recently bought Tobacco Reserve, and agree about the nearly gourmand nature. Gravitas arrived today, and wearing it now. A great addition to the fougere category. Love the cardamom that comes out on the drydown.

[@darkside8357]

After seeing this video I think you have done a remarkable job with really great fragrances that most KZbinrs don't mention.

[@yvandespres9272]

Dan, first, prononciation of 3e Homme de Caron was good (I am French Canadian ). Just started buying fragrances 8 months ago and in my small collection, I have these fragrances that I consider mature: Dunhill Icon Bentley Men Intense Guerlain l'Homme Idéal Cologne Guerlain Vetiver Being in Canada, I will look into Gravitas now, seems to be in my alley. Like your videos. Merci!

[@jt5522]

Great list. I really like Terre D’ Hermès. Modern mature gentleman scent. All 4 of them.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Yes great line of fragrances !

[@b4dmaash]

Brut and old spice are the best!

[@JoseLopez-sk3dq]

Excellent choices! Always love your descriptions-I learn a lot from your videos. Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum continues to be one of my all time favorites.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks a lot Jose.

[@graycloud057]

I still use Tabac aftershave and cologne. It’s spot on fresh, floral, and quite manly. These others , buggered if I know.

[@snortchgortch4253]

Guerlain Heritage edt is another worth considering. Mature and classy.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Good call! Agree.

[@marceloclemente7419]

Great list and review. Best regards from Brazil sir.

[@dmm9714]

Great film. I'm 52 and my favourites at the moment are: Habit Rouge and L'Instant de Guerlain, Pour un Homme de Caron and Aqua di Parma Colonia.

[@MarkStark-dx9dm]

Great list Dan. It's almost as if you listed my "to buy" list. I was already planing to add Eau Sauvage Parfum, Eau Pour Homme, Egoiste, Rive Gauche, Habit Rouge and ofcourse Gravitas to my fragrance wardrobe. I only wished that Gravitas had a cap that clicks into place. But that minor issue win't stop me from purchasing it. That Aramis sounds interesting too by the way, and Guerlain really have peefected the art of making wonderful fragrance bottles.

[@nycfragrances]

This is why I love your channel all my vibe just ordered the Caron...Have you tried Gianfranco Ferre For Man the 1986 Vintage can still be found

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thank you so much Joe. No I need to try that one!

[@wag-tx9et]

You always have the best fragrance videos on KZbin.

[@dantremblay99]

Excellent prononciation with Caron le troisième homme. 👍 Bravo !

[@luxpiotr]

I was hunting for Aramis Tobbaco Reserve and got it. Good one.

[@kombasanpracka]

Oh yes, Aramis Tobacco Reserve is a beauty. Amazing take on modern mature tobacco fragrance. One can use his Mugler Pure Havan for date and casual wear and Tobacco Reserve for proffessional occasions. Absolutely lovely.

[@mercedesbenzs600bash]

How's the performance of Tobacco Reserve????

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks a lot Kombasan.

[@kombasanpracka]

@@mercedesbenzs600bash If you apply on your clothes it will last pretty long time (never measured it actually). But it's no screamer, it's a close sitting scent. Ellegant, very smooth and despite being a tobacco scent it gives me kind of clean feel - no dirty cigarette ashy smokiness. And the price is great so you can reapply anytime you need to.

[@mercedesbenzs600bash]

@@kombasanpracka Thanks my man...

[@nickzee1637]

The other fragrance Caron Pour Un Homme reminds me of is Hermes Bel Ami Vetiver and Equipage

[@Blog4Justice]

Caron Le Troisième Homme reminds me of Hermes Bel-Ami Vetiver a lot too. They both make me think of a delicious, slightly chewy home-made spiced biscuit (cookie in American), barely half-an-hour out of the oven. Oddly, though, it doesn't go the other way (I don't think of the Caron when I wear the Hermes), and when I wear them both side-by-side, one on each wrist, I am struck more by the differences than by any similarity. Curious, that. I haven't got my nose around the Caron properly yet, but the Hermes is a love that continues to grow. I'm looking forward to autumn to wear them both again.

[@SomeRandomBod]

Great list, think I’ll give Chanel egoist a go. I’ve been switching between givenchy gentleman cologne & geo f trumper Sandalwood lately.

[@aromafh2486]

Fantastic list,, aroma from heaven

[@FinnishPanther]

13:56 - Guerlain's Habit Rouge is my absolute all time favorite that got me into fragrances. I wear it every time when I'm going to an important meeting. Blew my mind when you told that Keith Richard likes it 😂

[@lordcharfield]

Tuscany by Aramis would fit the bill here. So underrated and unmentioned in the community. My first grown up scent. Probably my signature.

[@johngregorio9183]

I own a bunch of frags and I threw that on one nite and while we were out waiting to be seated the waitress and the concierge had said aloud someone smells very nice and it was 3 to 4 sprays of Tuscany by aramis 😉

[@jezebulls]

I really enjoy your comedy and those pictures. Do you reckon I can use the Bentley for Man as an everyday signature scent that I can wear to work? I’m in my mid 30s

[@lmiller5307]

Creed bois Portugal for me. My grandfather always wore Aramis Tuscany but he died so I bought it in his memory. It’s dreadful but I tried.

[@mercedesbenzs600bash]

Habit Rouge EDT&EDP performs 8+ hours on me,excellent all weather cologne,performs really well in rainy weather,most definitely a real MATURE scent,not for everyone....

[@OvaisHusain]

Wow you know your Dior eau sauvage fragrances. Good video Dan.

[@CH-yp5by]

I love Aramis Tobacco reserve!

[@goblinhunter2004]

Anyone know if Bentley FMI is still good? People were saying it has been reformulated and is a bit shit now, not a lot of projection etc....

[@mercedesbenzs600bash]

Gotta sample colognes yourself,your nose is the best nose....

[@kevingunawan4802]

Christian Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum 2017&Alfred Dunhill Icon Absolute Were Great For Winter Season. But, I Recently Bought Guerlain Habit Rouge EDT&YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme For Backup Bottle Because The Smell Doesn't Horrable&Feel Nice.

[@brenlynch4811]

Dan I believe habit ruse is a signature scent of Sean Connery also now that’s class 👌🏻

[@петърйорданов-й8г]

Great list... Kudos!!!!

[@dkalbryte5715]

Great list Dan. I swear every time I watch your videos my to-buy list is sooo long lol. I used to wear Egoiste. I forget what it smells like. Dunhill Icon sounds pretty buyable for me. I love Habit Rouge as well. I absolutely am going to buy Bentley Intense next month- I liked the original Bentley. Tobacco Reserve is also on that list. Wafts from the Lofts are tied with you for my favourite frag channels as well as Claire. Btw we must see the same therapist because I'm in the adolescent stage at over 40 lol. But throw in my borderline personalities each like a different genre of scent so imagine buying frags {obviously} joking.....

[@bewley7]

Great video. Would love to hear a full review of eau suavage parfum 2017. A comparison maybe . I’d get a kick out of it. I probably , just , still think the 2012 is better. But the wearability and quantity of wearing’s of the 2017 in comparison (again , just) gives it a run for its money. Cheers

[@danielschaeffer1294]

Le Troisieme Homme is amazing stuff. Named after the Orson Welles character, but I envision this on Charles Boyer in a tux escorting Ingrid Bergman into a restaurant. Its stablemate is Yatagan. An opening blast of celery goes into a midrange of pine needles and patchouli, on a heavy dose of castoreum and leather. Think Clint Eastwood in “Dirty Harry.”

[@jackhasselhoff1021]

Habit Rouge reminds me of Trix cereal in milk ... Like a Boba which is a milk tea from Taiwan with tapioca balls mixed with crushed ice .The rose reminds me of Paul Sebastian PS fine cologne a little bit like Three Flowers pomade Tres Flores ....Rive Gauche is more Barbasol shaving cream than it's Brute IMO ...

[@mikemcguinness1304]

[@edverbeek6292]

Love your humor

[@dakasport]

Jicky is perfectly unisex in today's standards as it was back in the 19th century. I was told performance is better than with Mouchoir de Monsieur. The funky phase is definitely there, but only in the very beginning and from up-close. Dries down to gorgeous lavender vanilla spices mix, but by no means in that modern gooey overpowered sweet way (e.g. Le Male). It is pure class and uniqueness.

All these mature scents - Egoiste (L'Egoiste as was), Eau Sauvage, Armani, and Polo Green - I was wearing these in my late teens / early 20s in the 80s - obviously old before my time.
