The old Creeds, Dior’s, Chanel’s and Guerlains, Caron’s are going to stand the test of time.

Guerlain Vetiver ensures you are always the classiest smelling person in the room. Walking around the forest wearing this is my happy place.

Great creative review! I couldn't agree more on the Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum.... Timeless absolute masterpiece. I have the older and the newer formulation. I love both and they should have kept the older one with tweaking the names or something.

Guerlain Vetiver has grown on me for the past year tremendously, nowadays when I wear it I cant stop sniffing my arms all the time 😁, its hypnotizing. In my opinion, this is the greatest vetiver ever in designers game. Grey Vetiver is great also, but it lacks the depth and the manliness of Guerlain's.

Just stumbled across this video of the two of you, enjoy your content so much! I just acquired a 2015 version of the Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum (2012) and after your review of it I am even more hyped about opening the parcel once it arrives ✨

I am 44 year old. Grew up around Italian immigrants (my parents were immigrants) and to this day some of my favourite fragrances are older frags from the 70-90s. I still wear and own vintage bottles of Boucheron Homme, Azzaro, Davidoff Zino, Dior Eau Sauvage , Van Cleef & Arpels Tsar, Brut etc brings back memories plus i still love the way they smell.

Hi Chris. Many thanks for your brilliant videos I have taken so much from. It seems my comment is three years late, but anyway.. when you discuss Dior Eau Sauvage, this black-belt-silver-buckle bottle is actually 2017 version, the nose behind it being Francois Demachy. The original (1966) Eau Sauvage edt, created by Edmond Roudnitska, is in silver-belt bottle. There was also 2012 version (black-belt-black-buckle bottle) with a distinctive heavy mihrr note, mostly unavailable today. I thought this might be of some use. Thanks again.

This is a great concept! Love the idea of reviewing a classic with a more modern lens. Thanks gentlemen!

To me, fragrances are similar to music. If it was composed and created with emotion and passion, then it will stand the test of time. If a song had that hook (frag note) that just fit so well in the composition that it kept you coming back for a listen (wear), then it is a success. Many "mainstream" releases in both music and fragrance come off as mass appealing and boring, and are quickly forgettable. To me, music is a portal to my past, as are fragrances.

You make a good point Nigel. Ambroxan has become very popular and linked with having that synthetic 'designer' smell. Having worked with Aaron I'm not convinced Ambroxan is to blame as it's a wonderful note and used in many niche scents. Perhaps it's overused sometimes though. Have a great Sunday mate!

I think that PDM Percival is so mistreated, but what makes Percival intresting is that it's the perfect transition between this old school classic mainstream style, and the new blu mainstream. To me it's interesting enough and versatile like nothing else! Of course there are fragrances I like better, but If I have to wear a fragrance everyday for the rest of my life, I'd probably choose something like Percival, or a more old school style fragrance.

And what you said about classic frags is 100% true and I also enjoy them and also their flankers like Dior Eau Savage Extrem. But is sad for me that many our fathers or uncles or fathers of our friends wore Davidoff Cool water and because of this many people have those oldschool memories associated with Creed Green irish tweed which I love. I am surprised that you did not chose any of this two for this video as this smell will be all time great classic oldschool fragrance and almost everyone or maybe even everyone know this smell. Especialy when there is also Aspen Coty with same DNA which you can buy for price of two biers and it was probably on sale in many huge malls and supermarkets around the wolrd during 90's with Cool water for price of cheesburger. And you can still buy all three of them everywhere in the world like in small village as Czech republic. Peace from here here is one cloud of Creed GIT for all of you 😶‍🌫️

Definitely all about associations. Even though George defined "good" in his videos, I still find it to be an incredibly subjective term. After all, I'm sure there are people out there that never considered 1 million or Bois du Portugal to be good in the first place! Nevertheless, it's great to hear your thoughts on each fragrance.

Love Vetiver...and if you want a more affordable AdP Colonia (in US anyway) check out Burt's Bees Cologne. Same DNA and natural. It lasts longer and is more rustic and less "posh" but ultimately better IMO. Smell swell & be well, JR xox PS My vintage 1967 Eau Sauvage aftershave splash (bottle #23160) has more ooomph and balls than the modern EDT...I need to try the Parfum. My grandpa scent association is British Sterling!! I still have his last mini travel splash...so smooth.

A good, very affordable alternative to Bois du Portugal is Lalique pour Homme

I was never a fan of 1 Million, I had it back when I only really had one or two fragrances on the go at any one time.

@@Kadaf1 No haven't tried that one yet. I will end up getting it though. Really enjoy everything in the Colonia line. 😀

I bought Colonia Intensa 11/2018 and wore it every warm day in 2019. Absolutely love it and got so many compliments from it. For example: After a football game I was sitting on the train and a bunch of drunk guys got on 2 stations later. One of them shouted "Wow, who is smelling this good?". I knew it was me because some weeks earlier I was on the train at night. Around 3 hrs into wearing Intensa and because of the AC on the train I suddenly got a scent bubble all around me which carried the fragrance and filled the whole train with the smell. Left me kind of speechless. Smelled glorious! Since then my favourite *by far* for warmer days. And totally agree. I started with Le Male. Everybody was wearing it. Never thought about buying one million. Still have a big bottle Le Male.

@@FRAGMENTAL Thank you :) Watched your Dark Return video just now. Own dark return myself. Because of you I bought for way over 400 pounds on perfume parlour. Sadly at that time you had no affiliate link. Will use your link next time for sure. Btw. also own their version "Colonial intense 1133" and can highly recommend that aswell. All the best - as always. And thank you so much for your great videos. Had a great time laughing because of that intro. Greetings from cologne germany.

ADP colonia intensa is underrated. Demachy and Morillas designed it

Hints of Adp intensa is definitely present in Aqua di gio profumo, must've influenced Alberto

Antaeus by Chanel is the GOD of old school aftershaves... Just my humble opinion, like. Been wearing it since about '84 when I got some duty free on the Calais - Dover Ferry, after a Rangers game in Germany.... Memories 👌👍👍

BDP is a scent people will continually grow into. Classic but timeless. Younger women are also captivated by the dry down of it so it's a hit lads.

Eau Sauvage. Espeically the newest release (2017) is still relevant, and shows respect to the original. My partner loves it on me. Easy on the trigger tho. Doesn't smell quite as 'dated' as the OG and still has class

Hi, do you think the new formulations of Creed Bois du Portugal are still worth getting?
