The SECRET Meanings of Fragrances, Revealed!

[@OlweCalmcacil]

I can vouch for the smoke and cedar points. I have a fragrence called Burning Leaves that's notes are "autumn leaves burning on a base of Agar wood" and nearly every time I wear it I get compliments from women, and one called Green Man that's notes are Moss, Cedar, pine, and patchouli that never fails to impress. Great video.

[@gentlemansgazette]

Thanks for sharing! It's great to hear how the scent ingredients work "in the wild"

[@sptownsend999]

Holy cow, I wasn't expecting so much information packed into such a (relatively) short video!

[@Minuteman4Jesus]

IDK about you, but that's why I'm subbed to Gentleman's Gazette and Antonio Centeno (Real Men Real Style). All this information helps me to learn the art of gentlemanly etiquette, something that is in desperate need in this unrefined age.

[@gentlemansgazette]

@@Minuteman4Jesus Your kind words are greatly appreciated, thank you! Stay tuned for something where we sit down with RMRS and Gent.Z too!

This video was excellent and well written/edited as always. Thank you for your insights.

[@gentlemansgazette]

Thank you!

[@arthur3545]

I love this video!! Kyle is the best! Please make the other one with more scents!

[@onestepfromsuccess]

You have sparked my interest in fragrances, so yes, more videos on this topic, please!!! I still have to buy a few more ;)

[@royaljester9918]

I have only one cologne that I consistenly use and I combine it with a scented lotion. I definitely need to expand my collection.

[@craft-o-matic399]

I would like more videos on this subject! Please include amber and dates! Thank you gentlemen! Lisa

[@gentlemansgazette]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it, Lisa!

*I would love to get your take on English Laundry,* which is my go-to for fragrance. I used to be a fan of Drakkar Noir when it first came out in the early 80's, but I knew literally nothing about fragrance. I just liked the aroma. English Laundry offers a rather broad selection of fragrances, and they provide literature to accompany each product, which has helped me to learn more about how fragrance is a lot like wine. Due to early medical issues as a child, I do not have a nose for fragrance or taste (which is governed largely by smell). The literature helps me to understand and appreciate the overall fragrance I smell in spite of my inability to detect the subtleties of it all.

[@the.dirty.pigeon]

Just when I thought I was good on fragrances for a while, this video is making me want to try something new. Great rundown!

[@gentlemansgazette]

Nice! What new scents will you be testing out?

[@the.dirty.pigeon]

@@gentlemansgazette Hm… perhaps something resembling an updated take on Green Irish Tweed-a high quality, fresh and versatile fragrance.

[@salemslotandmore8278]

Thank You for the Video 😀

Thanks for Opening my nose to these scents 💕🤗🥰😬

[@urmie]

Is there a scent that is ok for the office? I don’t normally wear anything but it’s crossed my mind. I know you don’t want a strong smell but maybe something super light and pleasant?

[@gentlemansgazette]

We'd suggest anything in the "Fresh Scents" category featured in the video

[@theelevatorstation6783]

Y’all should do “How to Flirt like a Gentleman”

[@seansimmons73]

I've been looking for a scent with carnation in it for Mother's Day, as the carnation is a flower that is symbolic of mothers. The only scent I own with it is Nize 10, which is a leather scent from the 1930's. Any suggestions for a guy?

[@danielsimon8735]

Excellent video, thank you! (BTW Blenheim is pronounced BLEN-um)

[@gentlemansgazette]

Jack here - resident Englishman. Happy to take the blame for this one, as I forgot to put a pronunciation guide in there for Kyle. I see the scent on my dresser every day, so I didn't think that the unusual spelling to pronunciation for non-British folk would be an issue. Thanks for your support!

[@carlosbravo6744]

I don't usually change between fragrances, I link personality or personal style to them. For example I tend to be serious (or that's what I think) and rather introspective so I feel that earthy fragrances, maybe wood, suits me more than a citrus one. After watching this video I think it is time to change and ia worth trying playing a little with it and see if, at least in a subtle and subconscious level things can change positively.

[@gentlemansgazette]

That's awesome, so glad to hear we've inspired some exploration!! Where do you think you'll start?

[@Griffin-rh1cu]

Good video

[@TheKonnoisseur11]

How tall are you and Preston???? Where can we find your measurements?

[@Yuri-rr1el]

You know what's ironic I just bought All of the cologne that Dr Squatch has and I also bought some of the ball care I bought the trimmer the wipes and the ball deodorant I'm excited

[@greysuit17]

TMI.. no one needed to know that

[@Yuri-rr1el]

@@greysuit17 well people who use Dr Squatch would like to know because it's a community of men who want to smell amazing without any nasty chemicals

[@Aestheticaye]

Can I inquire into the erudite gentleman who has read D'Annunzio, JK Huysmans and Wilde? I admire a fellow aesthete---I simply hope this was not found in a Wikipedia entry.

[@ebdaniels8774]

A pleasure to meet you! I'm one of the Gentleman's Gazette scriptwriters. I learned about Huysmans after reading Wilde (A footnote noted that the "forbidden novel" Dorian Gray reads is probably A Rebours). And I have been a fan of d'Annunzio since learning about him from my late grandmother, who could read him in the original Italian. Il Piacere is one of my very favorite novels. How many of these classics have you read?

[@Aestheticaye]

@@ebdaniels8774 Likewise! I must say, it's a pleasure to meet someone who embodies a classical aesthetic and also refined taste in literature. I'm forever disappointed in the contrarieties between those interested in learning and culture and their shabbiness of dress, and those who pursue elegance in menswear without consideration for its broader implications in the soul and the spirit (a la Ficino). Your grandmother (bless her soul) had some wonderful taste! I'm a devotee of the Decadents/Symbolists and a poet, so D'Annunzio's Halcyon comes immediately to mind. If you're interested in the short story that has intimations of the uncanny, the Englishman, Robert Aickman may come to mind---he was a great admirer of the poet of Fiume and wrote a novel called "Go Back At Once", which explores a bit of D'Annunzio's chaotic creativity. JK Huysmans A Rebour and Wilde's works are of course the cornerstones for such movements. Theophile Gautier, Baudelaire, Gustave Flaubert, Valery Bryusov, etc etc. I'd recommend them all! As fuel for your next script, perhaps you can incorporate Balzac's "Treatise on Elegant Living"?

Any suggestions that come to mind?

[@baldwinleatherworks]

Is the jacket, the narrator wearing considered a houndstooth or a check or plaid?

Where's Oakmoss ?

A great addition for a follow-up video!
