LAPIDUS POUR HOMME BY TED LAPIDUS REVIEW | LONG LASTING HONEY FRAGRANCE!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I love this scent among many 80’s powerhouses, Lapidus Pour Homme is a locker room fresh scent but has a dirty undertone, really enjoy it

[@scubaleon3460]

Great to see you reviewing a classic that is still considered one of the best affordable scents in the market. Not many reviewers cover such fragrances and it can be difficult for people like me who don’t get to try these unless we blind buy

[@santiagolopezsami]

It is one of the cheapest masterpieces of all time, and I appreciate a lot your review! Cheers from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Steven!

[@mwpahl38]

I wore this when it came out, I absolutely adored the original! I still have the box it came in. A larger gift set box that came with the fragrance, and a calculator, lol. Thanks for the retro rewind!

[@diogeneslantern18]

You took me back 25 years, it was my signature scent, thanks Steven you always special man.

[@briwal001]

This has been my favourite fragrance since the 1980's. The current formulation is still a strong long lasting fragrance but it does not pack the same punch as the original. I remember going out and dancing all night in clubs and then still smelling Lapidus on my clothing strongly the next day. I find I still get complements on it. I was recently a little taken aback when a young student told me it was an old man fragrance ... I guess it is now :) Its still in my top 5.

[@slicksnewonenow]

@Brian Walsh Not to worry... One day those youngun's will wake up to find that they too, have magically become an old man... Seemingly overnight 🙄 Cheers

[@adamjacques6888]

Steven I can't imagine how busy you are trying new frags but I appreciate that you took some time to visit an old-school classic. The fragrance community respects your opinion so I feel more reviews of retro classics would be well received. Love the channel.

[@Redolessence]

I appreciate that! I would love to do more retro reviews!

[@mottifarchi310]

OMG!!! What a surprise! This is nostalgia in a bottle! I was sure I was the only one who knew about Lapidus 🤣.........Great review Steven!

[@Redolessence]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!

[@leebruce3481]

Not true bro. I wore this 30 over years ago and have been continuously wearing until few years ago, I change to other house. Tad also has flankers which is black extreme and gold extreme. Based on this few bottles, the original pour homme still the best in my opinion.It's a compliments getter,for sure

Awesome review..working on my 3rd bottle of this classic masterpiece. First wore it in my early 20s...I’m 53 now. Will always have this in my collection.

[@Redolessence]

Thank you. Masterpiece indeed!

[@abunadia5506]

Same here mate! I discovered it by chance whilst on holiday in the Bahamas in 1987. It was love at first sniff! ❤❤ Great review as always!🇦🇺

[@danielarevalo7013]

I was drawn to your channel because you articulate your thoughts exceptionally well, but mainly because I remain intrigued by the mystery of why or how individuals are captivated by scents. Your ability to express the nuances of fragrances has deepened my appreciation for them. It's intriguing how reformulations often detract from the original charm, making rediscovering older offerings feel like unearthing treasures. I'm fascinated by the contrast between a fragrance's theoretical allure and its actual performance on my skin. Additionally, it's been interesting to see how one may wear Lapidus for oneself rather than for others' preferences.Greetings from Colombia.

[@sivicslady9882]

I love how eloquent you are! I feel like I’m getting so much smarter since I subbed your channel🤩✨

[@Redolessence]

I also watched your review of Tabac Original today with David...and will be going to watch your Lagerfeld review in a few. PLEASE make a series or one lengthy video of your top Classic Power House Scents. Thanks for all you do!

[@0joeyw]

I'd LOVE to see a review on Ted Lapidus Black Soul Imperial. It's an incredible, complex spicy coffee fragrance, all for $30. Genuinely unique in my opinion. Great review!

[@Redolessence]

I would be more than happy to purchase it. Thank you so much for recommending it.

[@LexLuther078]

My dads friend used to wear this back in the day he told me the name of it finally and I am going to be trying out some soon so Im really hoping this is it because it smelled amazing back then

[@ersturdevant2831]

"Oh yes... it's gonna get stankay.": Paul Rudd, "Anchorman" promo. Adore this frag. Smells like a (fictional) German brothel...in the summer. The honey/musk note gives it a "bedroom stank" that I totally dig. Good review.

[@SurielRamzal]

Lapidus was my signature fragrance in early 90’s, I’ll look for a new bottle just for the memories

[@ncooper3904]

I have this one as of a few weeks ago! Got on the good word from Chris of Scent Land. This is a beastie!! I enjoy it with light application.

[@terryhollifield9343]

I really enjoy this one. Quite unique in its genre and conveys an austere suave vibe IMO. I pick up my bottle occasionally just to sniff. Great stuff and great review. Cheers.

[@angelcuev6762]

Nice to see this been reviewed... I used to wear this in highschool maybe lil before high school but I remember it to be different ....now it been reformulated it's a manly old school fragrance for Shure .thanks for the excellent review.

[@mercedesbenzs600bash]

Most definitely a UNIQUE MATURE a bit COMPLEX cologne,only need 2-4 sprays of this BEAST depending on the occasion,this was one of my go to colognes back in the day,a TRUE TRUE BEAST....Good review as always my man,stay well...

By far the most in-depth analysis of this fragrance. Thank you sir! I'm looking forward to my bottle arriving next week.

[@peterramos1581]

I smelled this when I was 5 years old because my Brother used to wear it! I was born in 1982 I can’t remember how it smells but if I still remember the name and the Bottle it should have been a nice and pleasant one! I actually order a bottle from Amazon to Try it out!

[@abdoumhp7728]

J'ai senti un parfum en 1989 j'avais 5 ans elle ressemblait à cette bouteille mais je ne pense pas que c'était Ted Lapidus c'était le même genre bouteille avec des couleurs pareil à peut près et l'odeur je l'ai jamais oublié je la recherche encore et je recherche ce parfum je veux vraiment le trouver c'est une odeur qui m'a laissée un souvenir à vie

[@petrt2745]

I am little bit confused. I definitely feel smokey aspect in it. I smell powerfull tobacco note and I feel its very ...very offensive. I think it's not fragrance for young guys. Its like formal choice for 50+ bosses . Just saying.. Maybe I have to try more wearing so I can experience Lapidus more. My choice for this fragrance style would be something like YSL - Rive Gouche or Houbigant - Duc de Vervins.

[@johnnylalonde7542]

One of the best review ever,thanks !

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm gonna try it have a blessed day

[@edgy8481]

I've been thinking of this one since it was reviewed by Chris.

[@gohhosdf]

I am deeply fascinated by creations from the 70's and 80's, something probably rooted in childhood, when those,strongly aromatic barbershoppy fougeres, and animalic cyphres i smelled on my father and other grown ups were my first contact with the world of perfumery. Your meticolous breakdowns are even more helplful for us when we want to approach fragrances from the 70's and 80's, because they are often so powerful and different from what we are accustomed today, that we risk to not understand them, or remain disappointed. It'important to have an idea of what you are getting into expecially if you don'thave the chance to test it.

[@GIF_CANCEL]

It's my favorite cologne in the world. My friend from high school has it too. It used to be expensive but now it's at a good price. 👍

[@korakatar7921]

I used to use this in my medical college days along with Quorum,Fahrenheit,Herrera for men . Truly a blast from the past. Need to smell this again.

[@shave-a-thon3415]

Steve - You know I've been a fan of your reviews for a long time and I'm also on the batch code bandwagon in that I feel it's nearly the most important part of the review due to reformulations of nearly everything. *In the last two years I've discovered that even more important is the formula code that's on all the boxes under or on the last line of the ingredients.* If all reviewers, including yourself would have been providing that for the last decade, someone like myself could have created a database with all known formula codes for every fragrance. This would provided a quick lookup table of dates and amounts of formulations. Sites like Raiders of the Lost Scent catalog formula codes for some Dior titles like Dior Homme Intense but not everything. Too often, video presentations state "there's some writing on the box and that's it for the presentation"! The box contains the current name of the bottler, batch code and formula code. For a hot fragrance, 5 years down the line that becomes the most salient part of a review!

[@Anthony_Spilotro]

I made the mistake of using 8 sprays on first use... I was used to using Calvin Klein's euphoria which requires 27 sprays for others to smell it on you. My Girlfriend was choking and coughing and asked me if I took a bath in it.

[@Detman101]

Been there done that...almost choked out my wife with a Lattafa fragrance once.

Hi Steven nice review thanks for this and really for all of your work. I recently smelled Apex Parfum and fell in love. So now I'm scouring KZbin for fragrances in a similar vein of Apex Parfum. I read that Apex harkens back to old school 80's power house fragrances. Would you say Lapidus pour Homme is in the same or similar vein as Apex Parfum? Thanks man, stay safe out there.

[@Redolessence]

Hey! I think this is very different, but I would try Drakkar Noir and Dior Sauvage Elixir!

[@Eau_Yah]

@@Redolessence hey thanks for the quick reply. I have both of those fragrances. Sauvage Elixir is probably my favorite fragrance at the moment and #1 or #2 releases from 2022 the other would be Invictus Victory. But anywho Lapidus PH is pretty inexpensive so I think I'll just pull the trigger. Thank you again and God Bless you

Hey steven, just wanted your opinion on 2 fragrances i received from Amazon.

[@Haroldo2606]

I owe this fragrance, it opened nose to the so called old school parfumerie. There is a Brazilian niche house which produced a fragrance with similar honey, herbal and animalic tunes but in a much modern way. It is called Instinto by Charme Essência.
