Lapidus Pour Homme by Ted Lapidus Fragrance Review

[@paultrumbull]

Your reviews are so good. Also, the length of your videos are perfect. I bought this a year ago based on the hype. I loved the bottle and box. The first spray, I thought, whoaaaahhh. What in the hell…? Then I got a headache. Two weeks later I tried it again. Just one spray. It was better. Yesterday, I tried it again. A weird thing happened - I love it. Yeah, it’s strong. It is probably off putting to people just getting into the hobby, but I am now a fan. The dry down is the best. Lasts 12 hours for me. Could still smell it this morning a bit. I recommend it. If you don’t like it at first, come back to in a month later and then see. I agree with most of your reviews. I love Zino though. And I think we have the same all time favorite- Kouros. Thanks for these great videos!!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Less is definitely more with Lapidus pour Homme lol thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoy the videos

[@Tertius777]

I was on an escalator in 1995 and a guy in front of me was wearing it - I asked him what he was using and since then I'm addicted. Nothing last as long as Lapidus and it does make a statement when you enter the room!

[@ferbeybill]

Great review! As with most of the classics in my collection, the magic happens in the deep dry down...Pierre Cardin and Grey Flannel come to mind. Love your channel!

[@GIF_CANCEL]

This is my absolute favorite cologne.

[@hugosaitta4527]

Hello Kellen very good review. Lapidus pour homme is a fragance that I have know since my adolescence and I learned to love it over time, the truth is that it is a very difficult fragance. I admit that you are very brave to wear this fragance to go to the gym. Whithout further ado, I say goodbye, greetings from Buenos Aires - Argentina.

[@konosound]

Kouros user since 1987 here and just tried this one out at a local store. Gotta say I do love it as an alternative to the King. Tried it along side Quorum which had a darker scent and One Man Show which was decent but not dirty enough for me. Love your reviews - so glad I found your channel!

[@saimon_pap]

The king of complexity! It starts with the pine and green scents and it is develop in a honey powdery scent! It has became my favourite fragrance among my collection! I have the kouros, i have the lagerfeld classic and some modern perfumes like sauvage etc, but lapidus it was love with the first smell 😛😁 i bought 3 bottles back up of it, hope to be my signature scent of my life! 😎😁

[@Grodd70]

I remember Lapidus and Quorum being worn by my dad when I was in High School in the late 80's. I remember barrowing it and it was a beast and still is. I am on the fence with it. I bought one a few years ago and don't really wear it. However, I totally agree with your review. It's unique not very mass appealing the dry down (way down) the sandalwood is pretty good. It makes a good bathroom air freshener :)

[@winnienguyen4420]

I thought I was the only one who enjoys using this one as a bathroom freshener. It and Kouros both. Drakkar Noir in the living room. They were my dad's but since he moved on to more modern masculines like Aventus and Terre D'Hermes to please my mom I had to find a good use for his old 80s powerhouse fragrances.

[@Grodd70]

@@NicoTerp77 Humm, I wonder if they reformulated it? I bought mine several years ago and it still is pretty strong especially compared to modern frags. It's not like it was in the 80's where walking by a wall it would strip paint. Interesting well I may have to try a new bottle and see.

[@surfgreen111]

Love it, 10/10 for me. Depends on my mood but I sometimes prefer this over Kouros. There is more of a musky vibe in the Kouros opening where this is green, gritty, and somewhat sweet.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

See if I got a green opening with this I know I’d like it more lol

Fully share your sentiment. With Kouros, Fahrenheit and Tsar there is no doubt (for me), I like them a lot. Every time I wear Lapidus Pour Homme I'm uncertain about whether I like it or not.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

It’s so confusing lol

[@hckroess]

Thank's for a great review! I love Lapidus pH! It's a really a manly time machine that beams you back to the 80's. It saddens me, that not many young guys get the chance of trying this one and similar classics like Quorum just because they're not sold stationary anymore. The only way to get those gems is the internet. Most of the young ones just want to buy their sugary "scents" in a mall and are cut off experiencing what a real scent can do to a man (and a woman). Thank's for your terrific work respecting the classics! Greetings from Austria!

[@kingofcelts]

What an intriguing fragrance! Probably not what I'm looking for on my fragrance journey at the moment, but I'll most likely try at some stage. Wonderful review.

[@regismonkton]

I own "Lapidus Pour Homme" and I like it at least somewhat (I guess it's a more recent formulation of it). I call it a "museum" fragrance because it reminds me of how things were like in the late 1980s. In fact, most people wouldn't wear it beyond the year 1992. I think that one of the best things about this fragrance is its sillage and its performance. I think that it's somewhat similar to Rogue Perfumery's "Mousse Illuminee", but I prefer "Mousse Illuminee" over it. I appreciate owning both of them, though.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Museum fragrance I like that lol. Mousse Illuminee reminded me more of polo the time I tried it. Thank you for watching !

[@veritasvincit2745]

Excellent review on this! My bottle is the same age as your's, 2016, and I haven't worn for a couple of years. I originally bought it out of curiosity. Wore it again last week and it made me smile in a good way. The honey jumps out most for me. One spray on my work shirt was enough. It'd be interesting to hear you review Pashana Original Aftershave.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

2016 that would make sense, made 3 years before I purchased it. It might be considered vintage in another decade lol

[@PeterH-be1xe]

In 1987 I was living in a warm, humid city with lots of outdoor bars. I have vivid memories of this, when the guys would apply what must have been twenty sprays of the stuff and it would carry for miles in the still, sticky evening air. We had to compete with women wearing Poison, Giorgio of Beverly Hills, and Ysatis, and there were seemingly no limits to define polite application. Lapidus was a bit much for me; even as an Antaeus and Iquitos wearer; but I could tell it was quality, and obviously nuclear in power.

[@btu45nh]

Hi kellan I been useing this scent since it first came out,the re- forms are not bad. I like it because it doesnt smell like any thing else. Mostly in the spring outdoors. Its kinda in the same vain as Boss #1 with that honey vibe. I dont wear it a lot but when I do I get noticed. Another good fragerance from the 80s is Smalto if you can find it give it a try. Keep up the great content.👍

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Smalto is awesome I have it, need to make a video about it soon

[@btu45nh]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey it was my signature scent back in the day,sadly they dont make it anymore.

[@iangascoyne4274]

Very very good review. I’ve been on the edge of getting this for ages ,and probably will at some point. I own Kouros , which I admire - but have hardly touched the juice inside . I like sweet , and it is hard to go from there to those eighties monsters - back in the day I used to wear Joop ph, and quorum , then there was a long gap to where I got into fragrance - about 2 yrs ago . Some highlights from my collection - Armani ph vintage, Chanel 19 edt, Armani code absolu, A-men ( reformulated one unfortunately- still pretty good tho), million, UltraRed, missoni, mostly mid price designer, few mid east ones . I’ve seen a few collections that look like a who’s who of the latest designer hyped frags - well , I just bought missoni wave for .. fifty two quid ! Well - I’ve got it’s brother on the shelf - and I’m a sucker for a nice presentation. Cheers Kellan 👍

[@SquallMonteZ]

I love this one. To me it smells like hot wax with a hint of smoky tobacco. I- get a fresh pineapple in the opening, believe it or not. Really strong and masculine sillage. In colder days, it's fantastic.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

It’s a very strong scent no doubt it lasts

[@andresnatalino584]

I've had it before. I couldn't tell if I liked it or hated it. I remember as a kid in the 90's I had right guard spray deodorant. Lapidus reminds me of that ...like a "locker room fresh" smell. It's okay ...just okay. When I choose frags I want unique but also great smells.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

100% it’s a total classic deodorant spray smell for sure

[@marcelobecerra5083]

Me gusta tiene una faceta de Kouros o pretende explorar esa idea de aroma denso punzante, sin embargo YSL Kouros es una compra mas segura, con aroma sólido y mejor terminado por lejos. Lapidus si que es muy accesible de precio, aunque no es para cualquier nariz.

[@FightingGold1]

I can’t help but be reminded of grape Big League Chew or any grape candy from the 90s 😂🤷🏼‍♂️

[@karlsenula9495]

Loved those candies

[@djilyaz]

If you want grape soda, candy scent......silver scent by bogart, or silver scent intense....crazy strong, crazy grape....but its polarizing, i didnt like it.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Yeah idk about grape, that’s a Bogart silver scent vibe

[@cherrysunburst828]

It's funny how much a scent can evoke a vivid image in our heads, like your truck stop soap description

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Yeah it really is a cool thing whether it’s a good or bad image but it’s usually accurate lol

[@halfnorfolk5310]

I think this scent performs differently based on climates. When I first wore this scent, it was during the winter and the smell was very honeyed and some incense. I’m wearing this fragrance today since 2021 😂 and it’s a warm 75 degree day here in Dallas and the smell I’m picking up is amber and sandalwood, which I never smelled when I wore this a few years back in 35-40 degree weather. Definitely a one or two spray cologne, especially in warm weather. I think this fragrance is best in the cold, personally. But I do like how the complexities bring out different nuances with the weather. I’m sure many will shy away from this one because it will probably never garner compliments from the ladies. This fragrance is more of a personal pleasure fragrance…for a confident guy that doesn’t rely on the compliments, and for that matter, cares less about them!

[@aquamanvonfloozerhoffen5067]

I am surprised Kellan does not love this one, as it seems up his alley.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

It’s a confusing scent and since I’ve had it I think it’s a love hate, definitely appreciate it though

[@jerrymac4961]

Agree with your review and it is great and a bit of a kindness to let people (especially those new to getting fragrances) know the polarizing nature of this scent. I think Yatagon could possibly fall into this category also. I would include Xerus ( just hits me the wrong way and I've tried it over and over). There is one fragrance that I love now, that I actually threw the bottle (which you would love: matte black with gold spray top and cap) away after I tried it, tried it again a few days later (same thing), but left it in my collection for years before trying again: "Gianfranco Ferre For Man" which I really like now. The problem was the opening, which smelled inky with burnt orange. But something "shifted" in my perception and as it "opened up" during the dry down it smells very masculine/ italian/powdery, beautiful old school fine cologne. What I think was happening was I was smelling all the notes "compressed" (if you will) in the opening, before it opened up on the skin. Because of this, I tend to reserve judgement on some challenging fragrances.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting Jerry !

[@rogergraves8108]

I had always thought you had liked this one. Personally I love it. I agree most young people won’t like it but I’d say most people that love 80s stuff and Kouros will love it. From what Ramsey said the vintage is not only better and stronger he says it’s way more natural smelling and less synthetic. But I never smelled the vintage. Kelen, what other Aramis fragrances have you tried? Have you tried Aramis 900 or Aramis Devin?

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I don’t hate it but I don’t love it lol I’m confused by it. Aramis original, Tuscany, new west, those are the ones I own. Devin I sold

[@JustinHight-hl6uu]

Although its a powerhouse fragrance like Kouros and many Kouros fans love it,it can depolarizing still because of the synthetic ingredients. That's why even though we may love the notes and style, other times we wrinkle our nose at the synthetics. So I definitely see why you could go up and down with this fragrance. It's a love for me. But definitely a fragrance that's not for everyone

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Very well said !

[@bradhillier234]

The opening makes me sneeze lol. It's an explosion of scents for sure. I love it

[@proodscot]

I love Lapidus too - in one of your videos you said it blows Bogart Furyo away - I just received and tried some Furyo I found on eBay and it’s amazing, like a cross between Lapidus and Kouros, which I know you also love. Furyo is more reminiscent of Kouros than of Lapidus though. Please give Furyo another try - I was delighted with it.

[@daviddixon2209]

I didn't like this at first but, it's grown on me. I got it for a steal ($8) from a vendor at the county fair.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I bought this as a substitute for Balenciaga pour homme - which is unavailable now; it smells similar but not the same, it's its own beast (I still miss Balenciaga PH)

[@danielarevalo7013]

Depending on an individual's background, this fragrance may form associations with certain people and places they have encountered, which may not always be positive. For instance, when discussing the aroma of bathroom soap at rest stops or in shops where weed is predominant. However, despite these associations, I reside in a region of Colombia where the temperature remains around 60 Fahrenheit year-round, and this particular scent complements my clothing exceptionally well, a personal preference I thoroughly enjoy. Nevertheless, I would conscientiously consult with my significant other to ensure it does not cause any discomfort, especially in formal settings where universally appealing fragrances might be more appropriate.

[@pablotomelin1337]

I remember in 1997 that this perfume was on the rise, along with Joop Homme. I live in Brazil and here it is very hot in the summer. People overused it. That stuck in my head to this day. Too stinsky.

[@wolfgangkehrer618]

Really curious what made you change your preference for LPH. Some years ago it was in your top 10. Is it the scent profile or strength (wonder did your love for Kouros or Milton Lloyd Man Silver change as well?). But of course everybody changes over time.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Yeah I mentioned how it was one that I thought was awesome initially, I definitely wanted to like it more than I did probably. And I still do but at the same time I’m not crazy about it, however that’s what makes it special I guess lol. As far as a power house 80’s scent it’s dead on and back then I think that was what I searched for before I really pin pointed into the fougere’s

[@storkonstage]

Very accurate review. The Lap is a milestone in perfumery. Check out the life of the designer Ted Lapidus. He designed the epic white John Lennon costume. Sometimes I hate it and sometimes I love it. I had the og in the beginning of the nineties and that one was an extreme beast. Head achingly strong and stayed on skin even after showering. This one is toned down and it smells really good if you are into bold controversial frags with the right amount of dirt. I just love sometimes to spray these obnoxious beasts that scare off people. Black Incense Malaki from Chopard is in that same category. One spray fills the room and will turn heads. Really like these reviews. 👌

This is one I bought after seeing your earlier reviews and I didn't like it. The presentation was cool but I just couldn't get into the smell at all. Lol I ended up returning it to Fragrancenet

[@jonblablabla1014]

Your description of how it smells 🤣

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Tried to be as realistic as possible

[@Yourcheerz]

Finally!!!! Your bottle batch code says its 2016

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

That would make sense

[@Crazy4oldcologne]

The magic is in the long lasting base

[@Matt_Choman]

For me it’s probably the best fragrance of all time. Unsurpassable. A truly glorious mess.

[@russellborrego1689]

This is how I feel about Quorum. I want to like it, but just can't. Smells like it should be a brown bar of tobacco scented soap that the chain gang washes up with at the end of the day.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I sorta get that same feeling with quorum, the vintage quorum edt dry down is nice though and the aftershave is really nice. The opening of quorum edt is not my favorite

[@stephenloy3535]

love it,wear it often

[@TheSerpentsEye]

I love Lapidus, but Furyo>Lapidus

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

If I had to pick one I’d pick LPH

[@ikemontel2465]

It looks like Nakitomi Plaza.

[@fascianolondon]

Actually u r suppose to say the truth always about a perfume, I bought Bentley intense edp blind buy due to all the positive review. All lies, it does not perform. This lapidus its great,I am happy with this,it last long.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I always do

[@richp.738]

This 8/10 almost broke me ;-)

[@GodSaveDaOs]

To me it's one of the most annoying fragrances. I love Kouros and it's a shame the mention of Kouros next to this... Thank you for your reviews.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Kouros is on a whole other level

[@1ManShow79]

Kouros isn't next to this, it's below it! Love them both but this pips it for me due to it being different every time you wear it until dry down

[@njhotroder]

It has a clean then dirty smell. It initally smells like different deortants and then u get a nursing home piss smell or a urinal smell if u applied on your skin. The trick is to.apply on your clothes and u wont get that piss smell out of it. If it makes contact with your skin oils once 20 to 30 mins go by u get that piss smell going. I bought a bottle this is how im using it but wouldnt buy it again. If they got rid of that piss smell this would be a great projecting fragrance. They need to reformulate that piss scent out of it and leave the sillage and projectipn and longevity as is... tyen they have a aweesome fragrence.

[@docsamson198]

Excellent review, as always. This is one of the most polarizing fragrances of all time. I actually remember when this came out. People wore because it was loud (hey, it was the 1980’s.) Rumor had it that Don “Miami Vice” Johnson wore this, but this was unsubstantiated. A woman smelled this on me one time and said, “Yuck! You smell like a pineapple covered in cigarette ashes.” One more thing: this is one of the most faked colognes out there, so buyer beware.

[@theo2z1z94]

🤣 Ah yes...the fragrance that magically whisks you away to a random interstate truck stop toilet. Hahaha

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Yep that bright orange pump dispenser wall soap lol

[@nugroho6478]

Dear Kelan, I am 100 percents agreed with you on the smell but you may surprise if you let female sniff em , my wife and my mom love em a lot on me.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Ehh the gf was indifferent on this one

[@Josef_R]

I'm confused about it as well. I almost never wear it and I'd be embarrassed to wear it in public.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Try it out in public that’s half the experience lol

[@Josef_R]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey I don't want to get banned from some place.

[@11you11]

Best urinal cakes on the market

[@steveb8269]

LPH...a fruity Kouros

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

It’s all kinds of stuff lol

[@Anthony_Spilotro]

This stuff lasts 12hr+ . It'll put hair on your arse , and curl it!😉

[@Anthony_Spilotro]

@NicoTerp77 There's 110% something wrong there... I have 340+ fragrances, and this stuff lasts longer than all of them , except maybe joop homme edt.

[@tonesleuth69]

It smells like pineapple and musk infused urine... terrible haha Teddy boy has other better fragrances

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Only one I’ve tried from the house

[@brianh.9688]

"Truck stop" soap. "Trailer park Kouros". Yep. Exactly. I get a strong, unpleasant reminder of a used car salesman, or someone who seems untrustworthy. Let's put it this way - Zino blows this stuff out of the water (sorry SOS!). Thanks for the honest review.

[@jacobnoergaard]

Funny, to me, Zino was kind of a disappointment. It's got this chemical tone to it and the lasting power is abysmal. Old formulations were definitely better.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

I’d still prefer this over zino but those descriptions of LPH are exactly what I thought of

[@timallen3166]

I own and love YSL Kouros, Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, Azzaro Pour Homme , Roger and Gallet Open BLACK....and many other classic powerhouses. However, Lapidus Pour Homme just plain STINKS....Its completely unwearible.

[@yabeenbamboozled5067]

Smells like a 70 year old woman's handbag

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

That’s how I feel about Furyo lol

[@djilyaz]

I like lapidus, its strong, weird, and funky.....it smells like the tow truck driver that changes the tire for the wusses that cant change a tire and wear aventus.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

It’s a love hate for me lol

[@carondiorov4155]

🤮thath sucks people never buy this scent

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Lol it’s certainly unique

[@1ManShow79]

Agree, let the sheep buy the metro shit instead

[@curtchaffee]

There is no way you are getting anything other than a synthetic mess when you are paying $20 for a bottle that lists 12 or more notes. Ask yourself if you really want to spray cheap chemical compounds on your skin, compounds that come from dubious, unregulated sources.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

That’s what makes Lapidus pour Homme a legend lolll

[@1ManShow79]

How much do you think the designer 'synthetic messes' cost to make!? Around 8 dollars for a Tom Ford!

[@1ManShow79]

Not sure how people can love certain fragrances from this genre,such as Kouros, and not like this? My only con is I wish it was stronger. Love this juice 🤍

[@jimcoddington4100]

Great Review Kellan!

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

Thank you !
