@@RachelKNg Hello Rachel😀 hope there is a live stream tonight, love hanging out with Ramsey and Friends on the stream..Im getting my son into fragrance more and more.. got him some vintage Obsession cologne spray for his 27th birthday, none of his friends will smell like this, he's also rocking Bijan for men at Uconn, I can only imagine the looks he gets when people get a Whiff of that vintage BOMB..

[@RachelKNg]

@@Frank_999Scoobydooby That’s awesome! My son’s fav fragrance is also Bijan for men (my son is 5 years old 😂) - what a great cultural heritage to pass on!

[@RamseytheRam]

Wow what a comment Frank ... this is getting pinned 🤌🤌

[@visitorst]

Can‘t agree more 😊

[@grissymanyup]

Love these ranked years cuz of 1987 I got lapidus and lady today at gas was like wow u smell good what is that I’m like it’s from the 80s she’s like it must be the musk lol great video my fav are Gucci nobile then Fahrenheit then fendi but I’m a fougere lover my fav genre and that Bally instantly became one of the best fougeres I got thanks ram as always the best fragrance channel in the world 🌎🤜🤛

[@1msorry1]

I'm so grateful you covered maxim's pour Homme in your cheapies video. Now it's one of my favorite scents.

[@RamseytheRam]

It is one of my favs too...such a great vintage you can still find for a good price

[@1msorry1]

@@RamseytheRam Ram, by the way, while you are still here. Which Antaeus is considered 'true' and the one you would like to recommend? I'd love to buy one but I want to experience the OG version.

[@InimitableTV]

The newer bottle of New West smells exactly like the older one (same goes for Havana). I've done a few comparisons. They're relatively inexpensive for a 3.4 oz bottle. I adore Antonio Puig Sybaris, it definitely grows on me upon every wearing. I came across a full bottle of Pancaldi about 15 years ago for $50 in a mom and pop store but I opted for the really tall bottle of DKNY Men instead...big mistake, I know. Que viva Jean Charles de Castelbajac!..I gotta try that JCC No.2.

[@RamseytheRam]

Yes I think the modern Havana & New West are amazing 🤌🤌🤌 Thanks for watching & commenting... I want a bottle of Pancaldi one day 💪🐏

[@Justin_theTsar]

With Molinard Habanita do I have to get the vintage? They still make it apparently. I know vintage is almost always better but is the modern worth checking out in this case?

[@RamseytheRam]

I have never sniffed the modern EDP...but the vintage EDT is amazing 🙂

[@jasonsetijo3446]

Try to look the Castebajac red bottle, I cannot find in my country. Very synthetic but its amazing

[@RamseytheRam]

Thanks for the rec & for watching & commenting 🍻

[@roxanarox7831]

El Colors by Beneton- femenino- era MUY especial!! especiado muy verde , te va a encantar. El Paloma Picasso -vintage - Te hacia TEMBLAR!!! 😍 y que marvilloso Knowing!!!! Ese TENERE de PC vintage me intriga TANTO!!!! Gran video Ramsey!!!👏👏!

Lmao, I actually wore Furyo to bed last night and I love it, as a 27 y/o😂

[@RamseytheRam]

I love it too ... crazy how amazing it is for so little $ still

[@TheAMVDJ]

Hey Ramsey, I'm on like my 3rd cycle of watching these Year in Perfume series videos, I just love them. I'm back to '85-88 and you've mentioned West Germany a couple times. Do you know if there were any fragrances that were produced in East Germany? I have a West Germany Boss Number One I was just thinking it would kinda "complete" a hole and have an East Germany fragrance whatever it may be along side it.

[@RamseytheRam]

I don't know of any as East Germany wasn't capitalist... maybe some Russian frags 🤷🏻‍♂️ Glad you are a fan of the series brother

[@KurtWickham]

My mom bought me the Tenere and i liked it because it reminded me of the Pinaud lilac aftershave

[@RamseytheRam]

I am in love with tenere... it will get a hall of fame review from me one of these days

[@Miguel-bp6xs]

I have the first formula of Esencia and I consider it a refined version of Polo. Not necessarily better, though. Not sure how it compares to your formulation, but it is something special...the flowers hidden on this heavenly pine smell 🤤. I recently got a vintage bottle of Furyo because of your recommendation and I was blown away for the evolution of the fragrance. The smokey drydown took me by surprise. By the way, I have a vintage bottle of Ambre Dore by Maitre Parfumeur and Gantier and it's amazing. Dirty, potent...nice stuff.

[@RamseytheRam]

Its amazing how multi-faceted these vintages are 🤌🤌🤌

[@perfeptions]

Yep seemingly perfumery in Grasse started from leather gloves perfuming. This was an artisanal practice that Caterina de Medici (I believe) brought from Tuscany in France when she got her royal marriage. Anyway she would not stand the leather smell and requested perfumed gloves the Tuscan way. That started the trend among her peers and the rest we know. Haven’t checked the historical facts.

[@RamseytheRam]

Very interesting... thanks for sharing 🙂

[@miriamcohanim4279]

dear Ramsey .. how busy I am these days ... and watching your videos when I have a free moment .. what to say; dear Ramsey smelling the FAHRENHEIT of now is breaking my heart so little remains of what it was .. my father used it and I loved that perfume ... in my opinion they have destroyed it with the reformulations ... I stopped by a store the other day and tried it ...was in my opinion. dramatic ... I do not rule out buying it .. to have at least something symbolic .. of what was once FAHRENHEIT

[@RamseytheRam]

Thanks for watching as always 🍻

[@islandspicehawaii]

Great show homie... stoked your back on the vintage train

[@RamseytheRam]

I never leave vintage 🙏🙏🙏

[@italy2010ize1]

I have a sample of Gucci Nobile I think it’s good but nothing groundbreaking it’s smilier to other scents that came out around that time but it’s a good edition as a collector to have but wouldn’t pay big money for a full size bottle.

[@RamseytheRam]

💯% agree

[@TheAiK13]

Hey Ram, did you have an opportunity to try vintage Cool Water? I grabbed some vintage miniature lately and I was shocked how different it is with all that amazing oak moss compared to that syntethic crap they're selling right now. New Cool Water is like watching Godfather without Marlon Brando.

[@RamseytheRam]

No never smelled the vintage... one day 🤞🏼

[@adamp.couture1506]

Have you worn the 1980 Jean Charles de Castelbajac edp or edc (for men)? I'm sure they're quite different but which did you prefer between that and JCC No. 2?

[@RamseytheRam]

Oaafff that is a tough question...not really ready to answer that one yet...but I will review it soon

[@putocardi]

Ram! 🎉 the esencia edp is the best aventus clone out there👀☝💥 i prefer the edt and pour homme but, in fact, if you want a good quality "aventus like" loewe, go for esencia edp!

[@RamseytheRam]

Aventus clone 👀

[@andreaskisch1221]

Came for Van Gils, but nope 😮 @ramsey any take on classic/strictly for men?

[@RamseytheRam]

Sorry I dont own that one... its still on the wish list 🙂

[@rogra2087]

☆Awww, man Gucci Nobile, Farenheiht, (which smelled sooo different!), and New West for Him...ohhhhh the memories! Great, list, amazing list. Question, how does one know that a vintage scent will still be okay smelling? Recently a bottle of Juan D Pozo Quasar turned, such a bummer-broke my heart. Anyhow, wonderful video, thanks and much respect and appreciation ☆

[@RamseytheRam]

Well unfortunately you dont know ... you have to buy from reputable sellers and sources that store their bottles properly

Yeah, I agree… there actually are lots of ways to do aquatics/ocean frags other than the typical/commercial Aqua di Gio (that we don’t talk enough about, imho)… like there should be different categories or words for them…

I always found Knowing to be a little sickly on the floral, but the old Paloma Picasso is beautiful. I remember Farenheit being released, got my father wearing it and now my son wears it too, still love it.

It’s okay Ramsey I’m with you as to how weak and corrupt folks at the hill have become lol. Iran contra would’ve been ignored today

[@RamseytheRam]

Yup 100 %

[@manlyscents]

Great video as always. Esencia is probably my favourite out of all those 💪 Davidoff Cool Water gets as much respect as Rodney Dangerfield 😂 It was my signature scent for a whole year way back when. The vintage (Lancaster) is more complex than the modern, has a woody dry-down, but not amberwoody like Eternity which I have grown to hate. And yes CW is in the same vein as Platinum Egoiste and GIT. Vintage Jaguar For Men is very metallic green and linear and meh and so redundant if you already have Sergio Soldano Black or Vermeil Casaque.

[@RamseytheRam]

Interesting! Maybe one day I will get a vintage Jaguar for men & CW for the collection 🙏🙏🙏

[@Shah1m]

Wow no Bijan on the list? That would've been a way to redeem Iran lol Love your content Ramsey you should have your own show instead of that liar Oliver North

[@RamseytheRam]

Parfumo lists Bijan Men as a 1981 release...its in that video 🙂

[@Shah1m]

@@RamseytheRam yeah unfortunately I think that's incorrect from what I can tell and according to Bijan's own website their fragrance division only started in 1987. I believe the first ones from 1981 were only small batches not mass produced and were for women like the ones that were hanging from the chandelier in the Bijan store in Beverly Hills.

[@RamseytheRam]

I read they put out an eau de cologne version of the scent that ran for some years then got pulled, than they re-issued it as an EDT in the mid to late 80s ...but I am not an expert ... if anyone knows for sure leave it in the comments below🙂

[@harikrishnankannan8711]

Interesting … regarding Roja. I wear this one only on special occasions. I agree that you need to be in a certain mood to wear this.

Hi, Ramsey! I'm not exactly sure if it's helpful or annoying, but still. Like it's PRecious, not PERcious in English, it's PRessyO, not PERssyO in French. Hope this helps 🙂

Very much so ... thank you 🙏

Don't waste money on Gucci Nobile when you can buy Duc de Vervins Extreme or Lomani pour homme bruv!

Yeah there are other similar frags out there for sure but nothing exactly like Gucci Nobile 🍻

[@justaddlight]

Not my favourite year for perfumery. But Nobile, Esencia and Farenheit would be on there for sure. 🤍💚♥ Speaking of the Colors line from Benetton, I picked up Colors Man Black last year on a recommendation (and whim), and it's legit the worst fragrance buy I ever made, ever. 😆 And that's saying something. Literally pure, watered down woody ambers with almost nothing else. And a crap bottle to boot. Promptly gave it away. I will be getting a bottle of New West soon though. Seems appropriate for the season.

[@RamseytheRam]

You will dig new west... okay so no modern buys from the house of Benetton ✔️
