RARE Rack Store Fragrance Find + Giveaway! | Burlington Fragrance Haul (Giveaway Closed)

[@pappym.8421]

Man I absolutely hate when they do that at Burlington... they put the price tag on the bottom so you can't even read the price!!... or on the top where you can't see it either in those stupid boxes... I've been seeing the Ben Sherman a lot at the local Burlington's but just haven't tried it yet...... But hey you can probably also use that Ben Sherman for layering with TFOL too.. great review Double G! Thank you!! ( My last rack store score was Kenneth Cole Copper Black 🔥)

[@gerardgeorge]

I know I hate that they did that! Thanks Pappy!

[@chandlerpierce7756]

A couple of those Banana Republic bottles I would have grabbed, Grassland probably being the main one! Soon as I’m off work I’m hitting my rack stores to see if I can find something!

[@gerardgeorge]

I like grassland. A subscriber sent me a decant. It’s solid.

[@HurricaneEd]

Cremo Vintage Suede is another fragrance to try if you like Ombre Leather. I got mine from a local Target after finding out its availability on their website. Being able to also get it as a body wash is very nice.

[@gerardgeorge]

I am impressed by every Cremo I’ve smelled. Really great fragrances.

[@vaughn257]

Love it.

[@andrewharrisonstyles]

Hey Gerard, great video. Our Australian rackstore equivalent (we don't have rack stores the same as USA) is Chemist Warehouse and my last purchase was Mercedes Benz Club Black. I'm heading to the USA (LA & Miami) and Mexico in late October so leaving plenty of room in the suitcase to pick up rackstore frags 😀👍

[@gerardgeorge]

That’s awesome Andrew! I love club black. I traded it for something else because my wife hated it. Wish I hadn’t.

[@teakey]

I have been wanting to get my hands on banana republic stuff. Our TJMaxx yesterday was busted trailer park. my fake ombre leather called shield is divine. did a review on it.

[@gerardgeorge]

I checked it out. Nice vid. I’ll be sure to subscribe. That chicken scared the shit out of me haha

[@danieldurand5721]

Great video nice walk through. Recently brought Nautica Voyage and Kenneth Cole Reaction to work and let a couple people compare the 2. Even for me it was very close but the Nautica won out. I have had more compliments with the Kenneth Cole Reaction but I had been wearing it more often. Both are very good and all men should own at least one of them. They both are smelling clean and fresh with out trying super hard.

[@gerardgeorge]

I completely agree Daniel. That’s actually a really fair comparison as well. At least one of those in the collection will serve anybody well.

[@HollerAtcherBoi]

I’ve now binge watched all your haul videos. Took many notes and finally hit the town to do a haul of my own, for the first time. Here’s what I found, I’d love to know which ones you’d pull the trigger on. I haven’t purchased anything yet, just scoped out the prospects. I found: -cK one shock $30 -tommy EDT $25 -mont blanc star walker $20 -hollister wave 2 $20 -Perry Ellis 360 $20 -Perry Ellis 360 black $18 -deuville bleu Pour homme $12 -guess 1981 LA $17 -cK one summer $20 -hollister wave $20 -guess seductive homme noir $15 -guess dare men $8 -maximum Aeropostale $10 -hummer chrome $10

[@HollerAtcherBoi]

Or, better yet, are there any you’d suggest NOT to purchase? Thanks so much

[@gerardgeorge]

M G I appreciate you supporting me by watching! Thank you. My favorites from your list in no particular order are CK One Shock(sweet tobacco fragrance), Mont Blanc Starwalker(clean fresh scent), Guess 1981 LA(warm, spicy woody). Honorable mention is Tommy, classic scent!

[@michaelserns1516]

Nice pick ups! I'll be trying my rack stores again tomorrow, hoping they have a few more frags than the last couple times. Waiting for some icon line to show up

Great review. My last pickup was BR Grassland at Burlington. Great stuff, but not sure it's my style. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.

[@gerardgeorge]

You got it Skyler. Good luck!

[@Dan_B.007]

Last rack purchase for me was English Laundry Riviera from Burlington a few days ago. Thanks for the giveaway chance, good luck all!

[@gerardgeorge]

Thanks Dan good luck!

[@houseadams4841]

I actually dig English Laundry Tahitian Water… It’s a semi sweet, somewhat floral tropical type scent.. But it has a touch of brown sugar and it really is a decent scent.. Not sure how it smells now.. I believe EL is being made out of China now.. Maybe they always were..?? But I believe the couple EL fragrances I have are a couple of years old and were manufactured in USA.. Anyway… For a sub $15 scent… It’s not bad and a touch different

[@gerardgeorge]

I actually really like it.

[@ucantfixstupid7443]

Hey Gerard. That CK is not bad for a man. Wait for the drydown on it. Pleasant scent on me. I purchased the Ben Sherman Icon edp from Burlington on my last visit. It's a decent spring / summer scent. I think it was $16.99. Thanks for the video.

[@gerardgeorge]

I’ve heard icon is good for the money.

[@justinjoice5640]

Voyage heritage comes off like a nice shaving cream to my nose. I like it a lot. Ck all was also good feminine for me. I took it back. The Ben Sherman signature I own as well and really like it. Like you said, it’s definitely a much cheaper alternative to ombré leather. My wife owns ombré leather and it smells great on her. As masculine of a scent as it is, she pulls it off very well.

[@gerardgeorge]

We are on the same page Justin. I see ombré leather as unisex!

[@qruqid]

Nice pickups ! my last pick up in the rack's was Banana Republic Rosewood Amor . Supposed to be a baccarat rouge 540 clone . I like the BR fragrances and for $16.99 it was a good way to see what BR 540 smelled like .

[@gerardgeorge]

Interesting pickup. Haven’t seen this one. Will grab it if I do!

[@raphael9197]

I haven’t heard of that one at all. BR cherry from the icon line has a baccarat 540 vibe as well. Another one that smells like baccarat is Ariana Grande cloud. It’s good.

[@winwithgrn]

Stop and smell has great videos on KZbin on Ben Shermans Signature and Icon. Both fragrances are top tier imo.

[@gerardgeorge]

I like his vids! I’m curious about icon.

[@DakotaSmith000]

I just picked up Ben Sherman Signature the other day! I Enjoy it alot. Now I'm looking to get a sample of Ombre Leather.

I’ve got to try dark cherry and amber. I’ll be grabbing it soon for sure.

[@raphael9197]

I grabbed that ck all the other day. Love the opening a lot. After that it didn’t do anything for me. I swap it out for something else.

[@gerardgeorge]

Yeah I hear ya

[@ariez84]

Last thing i picked up was CK summer 2021 for 19.99. Very good fragrance for twenty bucks.

[@gerardgeorge]

Solid frag!

[@pheelingoode1646]

Burlington has the best selection. The Marshalls near me is very thin on men's fragrances.

[@gerardgeorge]

Marshall’s has been horrible. I agree Burlington is a safe bet to find something solid.

[@brettlabelle5668]

Bought bottle of the Ben Sherman fragrance awhile back, off this good review. I found it for $9.99, pretty sure it was from Burlington. it is every bit as good as Gerard says it is, and a steal for the price.

[@gerardgeorge]

Love that one and still my favorite ombré leather clone.

[@GrownManStyle5988]

Man I seen alot of great stuff almost make me wanna do a video lol great review tho brother

[@gerardgeorge]

I know brother I miss those vids man!

[@chrishill8907]

Great video!! My last pick up was English Laundry Tahitian Waters in Burlington. Wasn’t really a fan of it. I do like Oxford Bleu from the English Laundry line. I heard Michael Kors Extreme Blue smells good. I’m hoping I Am King comes back to the rack stores. Mont Blanc Legend Night smells really good. I see it in certain Ross’. Check it out if you see if you haven’t tried it yet. I’m not on any social media platforms but I look forward to your videos. Thanx!!

[@gerardgeorge]

Thanks Chris! All are great that you mention. I was really impressed with extreme blue.

[@basman2006]

Saw the one from TLTG and it pretty much looks the same but your rack stores seem a little more stacked. I spotted bentley for men intense at our kruidvat (Didn't grab it cause it doesn't seem my style)

I havnt ever had too much luck at the rack stores but my best one probably has to be Uomo signature by Salvatore Ferragamo. 100 ml 29.99$. My most recent pick up was a John varvatos gift set for 29.99$ also

Nice. Appreciate the review. I love oubre leather but haven’t gotten one yet. It’s a replacement for Tuscan leather! I saw a private label clone from tj maxx but it was $18 to $20 bucks and the scent kept fading. Instead I bought Vince Camuto Homme (deep blue box)and Jared Lang (green box)

[@gerardgeorge]

How’s the Jared Lang?

[@darrenjohnson3240]

@@gerardgeorge it’s okay. Nothing ground breaking. But softer, smoother, citrus, mandarin, fresh, maybe animalic. I think it’s unisex, leaning masculine . Smells like fragrance and cosmetics section of a department store 😂

Faint and skin scent. Maybe 3-4 hrs for me if I’m lucky

[@silverpunk2427]
