New west is awesome! I got that over the summer enjoyed wearing it a lot! I need to try Alt insbruck Miami has been talking highly about it for a while

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks Kelan!

[@bradpoole400]

That beginning is amazing.

[@alessandrorocco2958]

Wow, what a trip in my younger years! I owned and wore most of them, still have many...ET Passion and Sculpture bring back very dear memories...Eau de Rochas and Chopard Heaven are other big hits from those years that are still going strong in my summer rotation

[@karlsenula9495]

Paco Rabanne Pour Homme 🔥 ... also Curv.

[@TonyThompson1981]

I love old school cheapies. Obsession is definitely an underrated classic. I even like all the old stuff from Coty.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks Tony! Me too.

[@richp.738]

Love me a good cheapie list :) Great descriptions as always. Agua Brava is the only one I have from this list and it's a fave. May have to check out Alt Innsbruck for a start. Not sure if I'll have a chance to pick up many proper frags this year. So far it's been the year of rounding out the shave collection in terms of purchasing the EDC/EDT/EDP versions of the aftershaves (mostly artisan) I've accumulated. That's already put quite a dent in the budget. If I do branch out from the shave world it will almost definitely be a select variety of cheapies. Cheers from the shaving world for the safety razor in the background 👍

[@dickiemaltasanti4223]

Have you tried Paul Sebastian or Giorgio Beverley Hills yet ? You want a Pacific Coast Highway that's Kenzo Pour Homme ...

[@lordcharfield4529]

I do have The Dreamer - great & unique, had Lapidus (smells like nappy bags, so gave it away), New West and Eau de Givenchy. The others constitute another Mr Smelly shopping list! I bought 5 in November!….Gucci Absolute, Gallivant Nomad set, Dunhill Absolute and……Lagerfeld Classic- it’s actually a 50ml bottle for £16.48 atm (I’ve got a smaller bottle somewhere), but I won’t be needing more. Also Gallivant Naples 30ml (£25 discount code applied from the Nomad box). I’ll be getting a 100ml of that when it’s back in stock as it’s amazing (my wife not so keen). Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

[@willowwookie9614]

Elizabeth Taylors passion is a fragrance I really love smelling and I think unique.

[@MrSmelly1977]

I agree!

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and have a blessed night

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks Michael.

[@michaelbullock8011]

You welcome keep up the good work

[@megaren]

Got Versace Dreamer and Aramis New West owing to Dan’s video & have to agree with you and Kelan that New West is awesome!Dreamer as well. The longevity on these are top notch and both of them are so sophisticated! Thanks a tonne Dan!

[@marcjohn9404]

People are sleeping on New West, stronger than I'd imagined it would be with the EDC concentration labeled on the box and bottle and very interesting. I wore it a decent amount in the summer and it lasted for hours and hours.

[@andreidanielpetre]

The same for Devin 😉

[@pauln0371]

Received my bottle of Bijan Man yesterday. Smells very much like Aramis and Quorum with that Tobacco leaf note. Amazing bottle though. Can't really go wrong for £16.95 delivered..👍👍

[@BooseJuice]

Definitely want to sample some of these. Decent list

[@highplainsdrifter2775]

Awesome opening. Love your channel. You have a new subscriber. Great content on here. Great humor too

[@wullien1]

Iv got a good few off these love the older fragrances,also just picked up mancera black gold and I get the same vibe off that newer release the smell takes me back to something I remember when I was young ,,,enjoyed watching thank you

[@JPT7943]

After watching that short film, had to give this a thumbs up. Great one! Great list as well!

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thank you!

[@user-gf3dt2yn2k]

33 years old love obsession and the one by dolce&gabanna

[@Orochi_001]

Fur is my favorite note

[@mmardonb]

The drydown of One Man Show gives me fur visualizations! I know I'm not the only one now

[@alanoreilly11]

Got to have Boucheron Jaipur in that list 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@sohatyi]

The Dreamer reminds me of burning sage, like a bundle burning in the dry night air in Delhi. I do wear it to bed as it's so calming.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks Jeff!

[@GeorgeKanatas]

I see a shaving brush and a double edge razor there, so you have an instant like from me Dan 👍 You have to try Lavanda cologne by Ach Brito from Portugal. There are a lot of hidden gems that people in the wet shaving community use 😉

[@terrysmiles8599]

Yep Andrew Cunanan had his way with old Johnny Versace!!!!! Very Nice Dan!!I heard Kouros the (white bottle) if i spelled it right is now Discontinued Dan!!

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks Terry.

[@danieldamgaard5250]

Hey Dan Great video.. you should try out Royal Copenhagen. There’s some old school barbershop sent for you right there 🤟🥳 and it’s quite affordable 💸 Have a great one xx

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks Daniel I need that one !

[@johncarloburton5611]

Own and LOVE Bijan for Men !! Ted Lapidus TL pour Lui is on my want list. Elizabeth Taylor Passion for Men is really good...underrated gem IMO....as is the women's Passion. I still love CK Obsession for Men as well as Obsession for Women...they actually layer well together !!

[@jasonthedogcatcher]

Drop the Dapper suits mate. You look cool AF as a real live cowboy. Best thing Ive seen in a while. Loving it. PS: I would seriously buy that poster.

[@wejpasadena1]

Hi Mr Smelly…I think you are the best. I like your reviews of old classics…Eau Sauvage, Armani Pour Homme, etc.

[@bluemecrazy]

Excellent video as usual. Love it when you present cheapies. My favourite is Dreamer by Versace. I can't get enough of the stuff and wear it throughout the summer.

[@JT-rx1eo]

I don't think Bijan is an Amber Fougere, and it certainly is not a classic Fougere. I have it in my historical collection. It smells like somewhat astringent, dry grass marinated in lemon juice. Popular Hollywood frag. Very nice list. I have about half of these (don't have the Elizabeth Taylor, Puig, Sculpture, Alt Innsbruck, or the Givenchy). I bought TL Pour Lui about two months ago. Very nice vanilla with some '90's Fougere touches. Aramis New West is the first fragrance with the note of calone, so is therefore an important part of my historical collection as a proto-aquatic. Slightly astringent scent profile. I think of CK Obsession for Men as a "thickened up" classic Old Spice. A Spicy Amber. One of my favorite. I would have added: Paul Sebastian Fine Cologne: 1979, a VERY good performing analogue to classic Old Spice. Closer to Old Spice than Obsession. Tiffany for Men: 1989, discontinued and cost a fortune on ebay. Great scent profile compared to Chanel Pour Monsieur. Gucci Envy: 1996 I think, discontinued and ebay expensive. Great spicy scent and great bottle design. I love the frag, have about 6ml of a 15ml bottle, and have the Dua clone, Covet. Oscar for Men: 1999, VERY strong performing slightly fresher, slightly cruder/old school, "dirty orange" precurser to Terre d'Hermes. Similar the David Beckham Instinct (2005) first release in scent profile too. Oh, and the term "Fougere" is thrown around too much too. Great list. We have similar tastes, but I seem to love the Obsession for Men scent profile (Amber Spicy especially with cinnamon) more than you.

[@matraf6]

Great list Mr Smelly. I use most of this in daily rotation.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks matraf6

[@pauln0371]

Fantastic opening to the video Dan👍👍. I find my Versace Dreamer a tad soapy on my skin but still pleasant. Sculpture was far too sweet on my skin so gave it to the wife. She loves it. Will definitely be getting Bijan Men, Agua Brava, Alt Innsbruck, and Elizabeth Taylor Passion for men in the near future. I thought Aramis Havane might have made the list also but appreciate you had New West in there already. Great content as always fella, 👍👍

[@rakeshpopat8188]

Absolutely superb review.

[@jimr880]

I don't know which is worse...the fact I have all but three of these cheapies, or that was sitting here with a bottle of Warsteiner German Pilsner when I turned into your channel. LOL! On a side note, I do the Costco 24 Day Beer Advent calendar every year, and the missus does their Wine Advent Calendar. In a nutshell, each day you get treated to a mystery pint of German Bier, and I back-it-up with another from the fridge...like a Warsterin, Spaten and, depending on the Costco variety, either go pilsner, lager, bock, dunkel, etc. It's great fun. Now, if only I could figure-out why Bijan shaped their bottle like a giant baby rattle. Go figure! Cheers.

[@keithchegwin1222]

I went to Lidl and bought there own brand men's fragrance. It's called Deep, it's meant to smell like Chanel Bleu, it cost me £4.49 for the bottle. It smelt like old pig bollocks, I wouldn't recommend it.

[@mywatchventure8875]

In my top 10 films . Saw it on the big screen. The score is amazing 🤩.

[@TheBTEAMwins]

Dan you ever try Minotaur michel almairac same perfumer as sculpture.

[@maxtesti4443]

I think Denim Original is a cheapy but worth a mention.

[@rakeshpopat8188]

No outlets in the UK has these fragrances.

[@philthepowerhouse]

Mr Smelly my next purchase is now Aramis New West after tonight's review, sounds great

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks Phil! I hope you like it.

[@lmiller5307]

Pino silvestre for me. Women always give me a look when I wear it. It says confidence yet with a smidge of vulnerability

[@ManicMindTrick]

Are these women in their 70s and 80s? Just kidding. Or half kidding. I like to wear old school stuff and only a few of the younger ladies will appreciate a very masculine, classic fragrance. But those who do really like it.

[@PB78341]

Refreshing for us young bucks to look up to a guy with classic taste. F it, going to wear eau Sauvage to Tesco’s tomorrow and blow everyone’s socks off. Just need a vintage watch now! Cheers Dad!

[@MrSmelly1977]

Haha thanks!

[@manlyscents]

The Dreamer is D&G Pour Homme with a sweeter, less citrusy opening, and a worse dry-down.

[@CarolSmith_authoress_]

You and George should definitely make a film together.

Thank you!

Good job 👏.

Knize Ten..?

[@darthvillarious]

Bijan is fantastic.

[@MrSmelly1977]

I agree. Thanks Doug.

[@justadudeintheworldman.120]

I’m going to pick that one up

[@lordcharfield4529]

Phirst! Milk bottle check….09 Dec (I think)…..all good 👍

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thank you!

[@lordcharfield4529]

@@MrSmelly1977 Best ever beginning you’ve done so far BTW!

[@justaddlight]

Pour Lui a goodie. But that Bijan bottle always reminded me of a pacifier. Pacifying the young blokes 😄 Or an engagment ring? No, let's not go there...

[@jackbarca730]

Puig- pronounced Putch

[@borgesothomaso6276]

How about ‘10 Least Sexy Reviewers in Fragcom’?

[@troubauk]

The newest Nautica Voyage is bad, like a rotting cucamber

[@DaveJuan72]

The dreamer is the worst smelling perfume I have ever used.... Returned it right away

[@ManicMindTrick]

Hmm interesting reaction. You would think it would be something heavy on the fecal oud or pissy civet, or maybe something with huge amount of ambroxan or a heavy seaweed note or something, not something as inoffensive as The Dreamer.

[@AallthewaytoZ2]

That milks fooling no one, Norton. It's about two years out of date and has been stuck in the back with the special brew.

[@AallthewaytoZ2]

Very nice coat btw.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Haha thanks!

[@marcelobecerra5083]

Ted Lapidus Pour Loui o Ted Lapidus Altamir? 👃

[@DarthJabba504]

Lol, wtf...that was a great opening. So it's you, redolessence, and who's the 3rd?

[@fragman4521]

Don't think it was Redolessence, but the third is George the Fragrances Apprentice

[@BlainsTube]

Are you wet-shaving out in your living room now, seriously, come on. What do you take us for, a bunch of youtube rubes, out here lapping up anything to feel like tossing out? Oh well, "mission accomplished", you got a view and click out of me... NEXT! May I remind you, Jeremy always has the door open for Fragrance Army members. Keep that in mind.
