Lapidus is my all time favourite, i have got good compliments with that! Now i thinking about Active Bodies, some folks sad at fragrantica that it is piney and earthy oldschool vibe type scent. Come at me bro! Great video as always!
I wear Lapidus a lot and love it. Found out about it years ago. I get many compliments and I’m convinced it’s just people asking what cologne it is so they make sure not to buy it for their husbands
4:33 omg…I almost bought this when I first started my fragrance journey. It was gonna be a starter fragrance for me. Love the channel. You have THE GREATEST alternative collection for men. Awesome recommendations. Danny.
Ted Lapidus is an experience. It 's a concoction that is very well put together. I also like Jacques Bogart Silver Scent Pure which has an oriental vibe just like Ted Lapidus. Both are bold fragrances, but also unique. I recommend them both.
Cool video, but hey, hands off Moschino Uomo! It is awesome, it is from 1998, and for me it has a very nostalgic 90's vibe! Also, the house of Jacques Bogart is the house that started my fragrance journey, and it will always have a special place in my heart too.
It’s one of those fragrances I would see at discounters, but would never hear any reviewers talk about. Versace L’Homme is another one… I’ve never seen a single reviewer acknowledge its existence!
I love lapidus pour homme. I don't wear it outside because I don't think people may like it as much as I do. I just love to wear it during winter when I want to stay home or before bed. It is old school, but feels warm and cozy and lasts to the next day
Thanks for the video, and info. Speaking of Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, just got a 3.4 ounce delivered to the mailbox last Friday. I compared PRPH with Denim original, Denim smells more citrusy and sweet of the top, where Paco smells sharper, both frags smell fresh and green and very similar in the dry down. My wife also really loves both as I do. Thank for your recommendations Kelan.👍✌️
Someone on fragrantica said LPH smells like every member of Bon Jovi crammed into a small dressing room after playing a long concert in the late 80s, and that sort of sums that fragrance up.
Bijan and Lapidus PH are both great to me. I think if they were made by Amouage or Zoologist people would be fawning over them. Funny fact LPH pretty consistently gets me a compliment from my wife. Not to many others do.
@@bromunn8102 well it would be made much more recently too, that happens with these classics they don’t get considered for wear by many people. I don’t hate it but it’s not my favorite, love Kouros though
There was some “Most expensivist s**t ever”-style tiktoker, where the running theme was he kept getting ripped off, though I don’t know if he was in on the joke. He went to the Bijan boutique and spent about $3000 for Bijan for Men, if I recall correctly.
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ when he found out it’s like $21.99 online lol I’m sure the Bijan retail store knows this but keeps the high price anyway for those extract one off situations
During its early years, Bijan, when adjusted for inflation, actually cost around $10,000 in today’s money and even came with insurance in case the bottle broke so there’s a chance that movie superstars like Stallone or Schwarzenegger actually wore it 😂. It also had a slogan that went something like, “It feels nice knowing that no one smells like you.” 😂 For $10,000, they’d better not! 😂😂😂 Edit: Actually it was $1500 in 1982 which is around $5750 today.
@@dipdip8 Go ahead and take the plunge on the Bijan! That is if you like soapy, spicy, dry fragrances... I've loved it since it was a "new" thing... Of course I couldn't afford it when it was introduced, thankfully it's almost dirt cheap now. I always have a bottle handy!
@@OakleytheRottie yeah Ungaro III fell flat for me, the first bottle I got was a spoiled vintage, the newer version just smelled like a weaker Safari by RL
I wore Bijan and loved it until I was in the car with my daughter and she kept asking why she was smelling rotten radishes😂, now I can’t get that out of my head when I’m wearing it😂
I picked up La Rive Athletic man because it was supposed to resemble Active Bodies and i quite enjoy it and some reviews say its better. It might be fun and a cheap venture to compare the two if you were so inclined. Thanks for your content and keeping it classic. 👍
Bijan was supposedly worn by Steven Spielberg and George Lucas back in the 1980s. They were and are very good friends, so maybe one recommended it to the other? Anyway, great video. Keep them coming.
Uomo? just smelled like those coca-cola gummies to me. 😆 It actually has some similarities with ELDO's Remarkable People in that way. It's a sweet fruity floral, but has that liquidy sweetness that you mentioned that kinda pulled me back too. Been nearly a decade and I still can't place it. 😵💫 At least it's unique amidst the designer dross these days. Great vid Kelan. 👍
Now I don't feel bad using z14 and Giorgio Beverly Hills to the gym . I literally use 5 sprays on the body two under my shirt back and front . Oddly enough people orbit around me . Maybe to irritate me because I go out of my way to park near the garden section or near the back parking . Just to come out and have someone parked right next to me . Plus I go when the gym is usually empty . I love Moschino reminds me of Le Male . Good stuff 👍🏽👍🏽
I bought Lapidus Pour Homme and UOMO? Because of your lol. I like both. Lapidus is a challenge the first 5 min. It makes me sneeze. But I do really like it. I went on to get Lapidus pour homme sport and Black Extreme. As for UOMO? when I first got it, it was weak, and I could hardly smell it, and it would disappear in under an hour. I forgot about it for about 6 months and sprayed it in my bedroom. It had got stronger and lasted longer. It's still an intimate scent as far as projection, but it lasted the day. I have the entire Silver Scent line and the One Man Show. I like the bottles
@ScentsOfSouthJersey I think you mentioned it in another review. Not that you did a review of it.so I looked it up. You're the only one I watch that talks about older fragrances.
Have you ever smelled Maai by Bogue? Its a more modern niche but somehow very old school. Its incredibly strong, possibly off-putting for some people, but definitely in that really big bold 70s/80s style. Any old-school frag lover should definintly smell it at least once.
6:25 when you was naming your 3 favourite Bogart fragrances the second one you said was Eau Fraiche? Is that the Paco Rabanne one, because you went off on a tangent comparing Paco Rabanne PH to Bogart Signature. There isn't a Bogart fragrance called Eau Fraiche, at least to my knowledge 👍
@@J_M_E_83 the fragrance I was talking about is call “Eau Fresh” by Jacques Bogart, i absolutely love it ! Very 90’s fresh mixed with green classic 80’s style
@ScentsOfSouthJersey Ahhh OK thanks Kelan i just found it on Fragrantica. Might need to track down a bottle, it sounds right up my alley. Force Majure is one of my favourites from Bogart. Definitely a under-rated House 👍
I had a newer bottle of bijan for a while...then i got an old bottle for 25 bucks, deep vintage...i liked the new one but dude i LOVE the vintage. It has shades of smokey vintage stuff like jacomo d.j. The oakmoss is extremely apparent in the old one as well. Its extremely heavy real oakmoss, and i have non-ifra oakmoss absolute to compare.
Moschino Friends was a really bad blind buy for me. It was like that time I woke up in a strange woman's bed and ran home to shower with Lysol and Brillo Pads, followed up with 45 minutes in the confessional booth.
Lapidus Pour Homme was my go to as a substitute for Balenciaga Pour Homme - but like any substitute, it isn't exactly the same. I miss BPH immensely.....I think a vintage bottle is like 250 +(!)
@ScentsOfSouthJersey I remember it being an Oriental/chypre type fragrance, was that cinnamon note prominent? Was there a floral/ pineapple top note too? It's been so long since I smelled the real thing, and memory is a tricky thing when trying to pin down exact notes....
How's the performance for Irish moos? One day I sprayed on lalique PH and hours later I was ordering food at the counter at a Taco Bell and the "Sista" taking my order said I smelled great so I guess ladies like it lol!
I remember Lapidus scents has something that smells like plastic . Not repugnant or bad per say just totally different its almost a bit strange . But not off putting
Just because it's a cheapo price it doesn't mean the fragrance sucks, Tsar used to be 11 US dollars online for the full 100ml, it smelled obscene, imposing, overwhelming, in your face, dracula, yada yada yada, and look at it now. I remember buying that cheapo clearanced out bargain trash binned cologne from eBay and fragrancenet and after the 2nd bottle , I couldn't buy another because now it was deemed a gem....my goodness do people flip flop over perfumes....now it's like 500 bucks and for what? For what? They did this for that cheapo Escada pour homme you could get in a gift set for 14.99 ....it's crazy .
Lapidus PH is only so controversial because people see the bottle and hear "pineapple" and think it's some miami vice 80s fragrance... If you treat it like what it actually is (a spicy, culinary winter fragrance) it's honestly pretty traditional smelling. Just don't wear it in hot weather, you will smell like beef jerky.
Tried a handful of J Bogart fragrances and every one reminded me of cheap truck stop urinal cakes from the eighties. Synthetic mess. My years old bottle of Bijan actually gets better every year. I still would not wear it. Other than the initial hit of unfiltered cigarettes, it quickly dries down to something I would expect to smell on a buxom, 45 yr old woman who works at a bowling alley. Oddly off-putting and alluring at the same time.
Lapidus was one of the few fragrances I disliked so much that I returned it. Same with Bogart Signature. Speaking of that, Bogart Signature is fucking trash. I have no idea why people think it's great. Maybe I got a bad bottle? I bought mine from Fragrancenet and it just smelled so unappealing. Just a weird dark vegetal greenness without any development that I could perceive. Patrick of Ireland and Brut are my go-to green scents
The Current formulation is a Shadow of its former self. The original formula from the 60s 70s and even 80s smells so good. The leather note is incomparable. I work with leather, and vintage Aramis’ leather note is the closest a fragrance smells like leather. Lapidus is disgusting.
I have that silver scent intense/it smells like CK eternity but switch the citrus with a grape(overdose) dominating -im rocking the TL i got the aftershave that helps me appreciate it more,winter cuts that loudness Down good balance - you ever tried burning barbershop? (Ds durga brand)
I smell it over and over/I put it together went to frangrantica, notes are pretty much line up with each /don't remember if it was the edt or the newer edp version... GRAPE SODA OVERDOSE...
Those ones you keep but you don’t know why. Silver scent pure .. eew. Not nice. don’t spray in the house. Bentley intense - intense headache. Fahrenheit parfum - too dominant. Euphoria - disphoria. Drakkar nah. Egoiste platinum- old fashioned.
Lapidus is a masterpiece dummy. The only mistake I made was to even compare it with boss number one before buying it. Lapidus pour homme is only second to Antaeus.
An interesting art / map behind you. Everything is out of proportion, really odd spellings. Using a V instead of a U. Can't even GUESS as to the year of the map. Arabia?
I walked pass an older gent in a supermarket who I distinctively know he was wearing Ted Lapidus. Went back home I made up my mind it wasn't for me and decided to sell off my bottle.
I am one that truly loves Lapidus. I have 9 back up bottles !

The donut one is awful. Smells like animalic peanuts. Lapidus will always be a love of mine. Love the presentation, love the smell, built in sprayer!
@@surfgreen111 Animalic peanuts ??🤣🤣
@ it smells like peanuts. With some animalic-ness lol
Lapidus is a masterpiece dummy. The only mistake I made was to even compare it with boss number one before buying it. Lapidus pour homme is only second to Antaeus.
Lapidus is okay. Poor man’s Kouros. But I’m over 50
Bijan sucks
@@ga-zb9lt yeah it’s nothing compared to kouros
King Kouros is second to none.
The Monarch of the Masculines! 😄
An interesting art / map behind you. Everything is out of proportion, really odd spellings. Using a V instead of a U. Can't even GUESS as to the year of the map. Arabia?
@@RyanK-100 it’s the Roman Empire at its peak size in 117AD under Emperor Trajan
I walked pass an older gent in a supermarket who I distinctively know he was wearing Ted Lapidus. Went back home I made up my mind it wasn't for me and decided to sell off my bottle.
Lol!
I saw an old man smiling once. Since then I've never smiled.
@@bc8379 😂😂 that’s funny, you were on the receiving end of Lapidus
Maybe you actually met Ted Lapidus!
Lapidus smells great!
@@johnmancini4403 it’s certainly unique lol
MOSCHINO UOMO SMELLS AWESOME OG SWAG 🙌
