DIFFERENT COUNTRIES: What Fragrances I Would Wear (Episode 3)

[@---Nicolas---]

Your videos are so comforting to me Lanier, however hard my day has been they make me feel like I'm ending it laying on a soft, fluffy cloud! Thank you for being you! 💚

[@laniersmith1798]

Well welcome to cloud Nine! What a really lovely complement. I truly appreciate your sharing of your thoughts. Cheers to you Nick.

I feel the same it's so comforting with a hint of glamour

[@laniersmith1798]

@@oldhollywoodangels thank you Lana, how sweet. Cheers

[@jimr880]

Bedtime in my neck-of-the-woods, but something special o look forward to on my drive into the office tomorrow morning. Many thanks in advance....always grateful for such treasures from Maestro Lanier.

[@laniersmith1798]

Sweeet and fragrant dreams my friend. Cheers.

[@axiomist4488]

That shot at the end, of the big house with that beautiful entrance . . . Wow !!!

[@laniersmith1798]

There are some incredible estates in Great Britian. Cheers

[@simplyfragrances4453]

Thank you so much for continuing the series. You truly have taken my tag idea and made it your own. Phenomenal job. What I love most about your channel is I don’t think there’s been a video yet where I haven’t heard of a Fragrance that I didn’t know about ! You’re always teaching me something with every video.

[@laniersmith1798]

Thank you so much. I am having so much fun working on these. If it hadn't been for you, I would have never thought of the idea. So you are an associate producer on this project. Cheers!

[@simplyfragrances4453]

@@laniersmith1798 well your doing an amazing job! Looking forward to the next 🥂

[@markwalsh6714]

Great selection Lanier. I love Tuscany. It takes me back to my day wandering around Oxford in a tweed and college scarf, riding bikes and going into ancient libraries. Truly a dreaming spires scent for me.

[@laniersmith1798]

I so want to visit Oxford on my next visit to the UK. Your description of your experience there sounds enchanting. My university was in the Redwood forest on the coast of Northern California. A very different kind of environment for study. Cheers.

[@Zepster77]

Stunning opener. Simply sumptuous. Kudos Sir.

[@markkunzman1763]

Another great video. This series of fragrances that evoke specific places is a gem. For reasons that I am not entirely sure, Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan reminds me of the east end of London. Surge Lutens Five O’Clock Au Gimbre reminds me of expensive British shaving cream. Guerlain Homme and Naughton & Wilson’s Bon Viveur both remind me of British summer evenings. I find both only quasi-fresh and, in certain ways, beautifully melancholic. Very much evocative of the book Remains of the Day to me, notwithstanding the more exuberant name of the N&W.

[@lanelukefahr1184]

Your videos are awesome I’m so glad I have found your channel I really enjoy your intros with the music and scenery it’s outstanding.

[@laniersmith1798]

How delightful to have you with us Lane. Thank you so much. Cheers

[@RamseytheRam]

What a brilliant idea for a series Lanier... love the originality mate 🍻

[@mariotgomez]

I so remember Perry Ellis. I should have kept my bottle when I finished.

[@jan6485]

Beautiful scenary as always. A splendid fragrance tour of the english country side, the english riviera, the oriëntal & caribbean influences and the great city of London . Spot on choices 🎩 off to you sir.

[@laniersmith1798]

Jan, you made my morning. Cheers!

[@hypnotoads]

Your knowledge of the UK is impressive Lanier. I’m a Brit from Devonshire, and having a famously uncooperative weather and temperature profile here makes choosing a fragrance a bit like herding cats at times. However, I have just purchased a bottle of Cartier Déclaration d'Un Soir, which I think is perfect for this season. Although I will say that being English, tea based fragrances have an almost hypnotic allure! Take care Lanier, much appreciate the thought that goes into your videos.

[@laniersmith1798]

Mark I’m so very thrilled that you enjoyed the video. I love the UK and plan to return soon to see more of it. My British ancestry is calling me back. Oh yes, you reminded me that I should have done a tea based fragrance! Oh well, perhaps a part two is in order, “what to wear for tea at Blenheim Palace!”. Thank you for watching and commenting. I truly appreciate it. Cheers!

[@anand-menon]

Wonderful selection Lanier !... Would you say Dunhill British Leather is evocative of the races at Ascot- think horses, saddles,people dressed in their best ?

[@HrLeone]

Great Video, your Intros are the best in the Business, very evocative. You Sir are a Star !!!

[@laniersmith1798]

What a sweet compliment thank you! Cheers

[@honeybeebee4934]

Thank you! Great to see your choices, looking forward to the next one! 🐝🍸

Always unique content, love this Lanier

[@bobperricone2216]

Nice to see you again...all is well here....thanks for the video...Bob

[@laniersmith1798]

Bob, you always brighten my day, thank you for always being there with a virtual smile and a good word. Cheers.

[@JT-rx1eo]

I have Aramis Tobacco Reserve and it used to be my favorite "sweet tobacco" scent due to the way it manifested the green tobacco leaf. I have Boucheron Jaipur also. And yesterday I wore one of my Bay Rums - C.O.Bigelow. My three choices for quintessential English wears (or while in England) are: Creed Tabarome Millesime Floris No. 89 Polo "Green" Although Polo Green most ideally evokes images of American Old Money, the closeness of culture between Old England and its colonies is illustrated in Polo. Oh, and I have two partial bottles of Tom Ford for Men Extreme. One of my favorite Tom Fords. Love the truffle note.

[@laniersmith1798]

Wonderful choices! Cheers!

[@johnadair4693]

Glad you said the Tom ford man extreme,my favourite scent of all. Sadly discontinued,, but dua have done wonders with a dupe .I recommend for me on a budget. Thanks again And don't forget us here in northern Ireland, maybe a gun powder and petrol scent,!!

[@laniersmith1798]

cheers to you n Northern Ireland!

[@tinamanske2865]

Dear Lanier, these are wonderful choices, thank you! I really love this series, and I am curious what you are going to wear to Germany! 😊

[@laniersmith1798]

Tina I’m so happy to read that you are enjoying the series. Big hug. Cheers

[@albertoalvarado7019]

Another elegant video with lots of class, marvelous music as usual! thanks a lot for the wonderful perfume selection, Monsieur Smith.

[@laniersmith1798]

Alberto thank you for watching and commenting. Cheers.

[@pizzademonXX]

Well.. Mr Smith, it seems like forever since we chatted. I'm glad I've found your channel again and subscribed 👍Anyway Mr Bond, I'm glad your keeping up with the sartorial elegance, Miss Moneypenny will be delighted😂😉 In all seriousness, so glad i found your channel again, and look forward to more exciting reviews 🙏

[@laniersmith1798]

Great to have you back PizzademonXX! M is thrilled too, in his usual low-key manner. Cheers.

[@Ed-ce5mb]

Lanier, thank you for making these incredible fragrance videos. I own 4 fragrances that you mention in your video. They are Tobacco Reserve & Tuscany Per Uomo by Aramis, Must de Cartier and Jaipur by Boucheron. I look forward to your full review of Must de Cartier. I can not believe that Cartier discontinued the fragrance years ago. It is a magnificent fragrance.

[@laniersmith1798]

Thank you, Ed. Yes, it is a shame that Must de Cartier was discontinued. Now it is impossible to get unless you offer up a fortune. And that irks me to no end that when a fragrance is dropped from production the greed by private sellers kicks in. Oh well, I guess I'm crying for the moon on that point. LOL. Cheers!

[@JONATHAN-db2ry]

Wonderful selections... And you weren't kidding. What Bertrand Duchaufour did with Neela Vermeire is masterful to say the least

[@laniersmith1798]

I never kid about Neela! Wonderful fragrance house and an amazing woman. Cheers

[@JONATHAN-db2ry]

@@laniersmith1798 I've heard that. I wonder if she's involved in any projects currently. 🤔. I'll need to investigate ✌🏻🙏

[@justaddlight]

Jaipur an interesting choice! 1962 from Floris immediately comes to mind for me. Maybe a touch of Jermyn Street. Definitely a fan of Tuscany per Uomo. ❤🖤💛

[@laniersmith1798]

Ah but Floris is British so I could not include it since with each country I am picking fragrance not from that country. Yes, Tuscany Per Uomo is a treasure. Cheers.

[@justaddlight]

@@laniersmith1798 Ahhh yes I forgot! Loewe Pour Homme was my second choice. 😄 Cheers! ❤

[@chriscoon1406]

Fantastic selection Lanier! I need to revisit Jaipur. Boucheron Pour Homme is special to me! Tonight I’m wearing Topaze by Avon. It’s a bottle from the early 70’s. It’s the sister to Chanel number 5. Love your series!

[@laniersmith1798]

Topaze, such a wonderful name. Cheers and much respect to you my Canadian friend.

[@matthewseawell1667]

Bravo, Lanier!

…”don’t tell Lanier but i would watch these just for the beautiful intros”…oh!, hi Lanier ! i was just saying how much i love your ivory sweater and now i’m going to look for one lol…these travelogues are daydreamy !
