Enjoying this so much!
Glad to be found! Thanks for watching 🙂
A video to periodically revisit, thank you very much for such a detailed retrospective. You are the best 🥁🥁🥁
Thanks for watching John.... hope you are doing well my friend 🍻
This is precisely what I was looking for. Thank you. The honorable mentions, the discussion of them, rather, were really helpful in decisionmaking and evaluating a selection. Thank you.
Thank you for watchings Gems 💎
Been waiting for this video forever..guerlain is my favourite house by far..thanks for all the love and time put into these remarkable videos mate..just wonderful
Appreciate that brother 🍻
Great video! L'Instant de Guerlain was my signature scent for years, but vintage Habit Rouge EDT is my favorite. I still wear it all the time, and I have multiple back up bottles of it. I haven't smelled the current formulation, but that bit of skank and spice in the vintage is so incredible. Thanks for taking the time to prepare and record this overview, it is much much appreciated!
Appreciate that... i also love habit rouge the EDT is such a special fragrance... thanks for watching 🍻
Ram!! This one is SO Good!! Another Reference video!!! I think I’ve paused on my 3rd time watching? Most Excellent! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌🙌
Thanks you Rachel... hearing that means everything ... so glad you like it!
This content is for people like us! Fragrance Addicts 😂😂
Your knowledge and presentation are outstanding. Looking foreword to a growing channel.
Thanks so much for the support 🙏
This was awesome... you're best show yet. Looking forward to connecting
Thanks mate... likewise ... it will be a great live stream 🍻
I truly agree with you about the Guerlain bottles and liked the diversity of the bottles.
The bottles were art in and of themselves ....shame everything is standardized now😒
Looks like my next foray into the perfume world is Guerlain. Thank you for a very comprehensive look at some of your favourites.
Ohhh you have so much to discover! I almost envy you that you have so many beautiful compositions to discover still 😄
Superb ,most probably the best ranked Guerlain video out there ,how ya did it is a triumph in itself . Major props Rams ,really appreciate all your massive bottle pulling and arranging,Far removed from mainstream for sure ,Thanks my man 🙏✌️👍
Thanks Bren! That really means a lot 🤠
Guerlain heritage EDT in the gold cap is my signature scent ! Got 10 plus 100ml bottles and 5 200ml splash bottles ❤
That is a lot of juice bro! 😳
Love the house. Loved this video. I learned so much. Thnx Rams. 👍👍
Thanks for watching Daver 😊
Just got a bottle of Shalimar EDP and wore it to bed last night. What a surprise to see this video when I woke up! I concur, Shalimar is amazing, eyes-roll-back-in-your-head gorgeous. I never would’ve discovered it, and other female marketed fragrances, without you sharing your love for it on this channel! Thank you again, good sir!
Thanks for that my friend... welcome to the wonderful world of fragrances... the whole spectrum... not just half of what is out there or only stuff marketed to men... some of my most amazing discoveries of the last few years have been "female" targeted frags 🍻
Shalimar edt is my new love. Just got a Vintage bottle and I am in real love with this scent
@@tadashionojunior2265 shalimar made my top ten of all time! I did a top 100 countdown to celebrate 1000 subscribers at the time and shalimar was in the top ten... plus I think the greatest and most iconic bottle of all time as well 🍼😊
A mighty video 🦾🐑🦆
Thanks for that Rich 💪
Where would Encens Mythique be for you? Just curious.. numero uno? 🤔
@@RamseytheRam oooooooph. Probably top 5 but I've no idea where that and the others would go in that top 5
Tough video to make... but i knew it was one of your favs 😍
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Not even close of ever smelling all the stuff you pulled off, but the older Guerlains... my god! Amazing video my friend.... another amazing one lol
1 - Habit Rouge, EDT 2 - Heritage, EDT 3 - L'instant. So difficult to go further down the list
THAT Heritage jug uuuuuuuf
It is one of the hest frags in my collection! Top 10 for sure! 💪
Thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
This was great. I agree about niche vs these classics - I’ve been getting a bit tired of the new niche perfumes and have been really appreciating Guerlain and Chanel and other classics lately.
The classics are the best part of perfume history 🙏
Thanks for watching & commenting 🤌🤌🤌
Chanel at least still puts out great perfume, while Guerlain just reformulates everything to the point it’s garbage.
Great little off the cuff live ( not little lol ) missed it naturally, but enjoyed it immensely in the happy ever after hahaha ,great job Rams 🙏✌️👍
Thanks so much for watching & commenting Bren 🍻
Fuck yeah I know this video is about to be fire!
🔥🔥🔥
I love your use of the word SHITE..........spot on and perfect.
Great list! The time flew by. It’s hard with so many legends, isn’t it? And I totally get you: wearing some of these makes you wonder why you keep bothering with other fragrances.
Do try to sample Parure, a legendary long lost and much lamented fruity chypre. I’d love to hear your take on it and how it stacks up against the mighty Mitsouko.
Its so hard to find now and so expensive now a days...if I can procure a few precious drops I will be glad to talk about it on the channel ✌️
To you and Guerlain,
THANK YOU!!
I really appreciate that... thanks so much for watching 🤌🤌🤌
I recently found a Heritage gift box from 1998. 50ml edt and body wash. Gold cap, gold sprayer. Love it. I also have the 2015 debut of Dress Code. The praline note does make it sweeter than the edt which I prefer. But real nice on a cold day.
Totally agree... the dress code flanker is a bit to sweet for me too but you are right in the cold it is beautiful & i think it is a better fragrance than their new oud khôl
Absolutely loved it 🐏 thank you 🍻🍻
Thanks so much for the feedback & for watching & commenting 🤌🤌🤌
I am missing Nahema, one of the best in my opinion. Still a very good list, i love Guerlain!
Yes I dont own Nehema or Parure or a few of the others... but I really want a bottle of Metallica... that is # 1 on the 🐏 wish list right now 🤌🤌🤌
Wow, knocked it out of the park with this list. Encens and Bois Mysterioux being so low is a crime but understandable given it's Guerlain and there's just so much good
Thanks so much for watching & commenting.... hardest list since I started the channel 😊
Your best series!!
Thank you my friend 👊
Appreciate you watching & commenting 🍻
I only have Jicky in one of those gigantic gold bottles but I still have lots left and wear it often, especially to bed. 😊
I love that vintage Jicky edt Anooj found me ... its so special 😊
LIDGE is certainly my favourite, with Habit rouge a close second. Habit Rouge l'Eau would be on the 3rd spot, but it seems not to be anyone's favourite or highly ranked anywhere else. I guess i have to try Heritage now ! Nice video 👌
Yes Heritage is a must sniff... Its my personal favorite masculin Guerlain 🙏
I actually started with Shalimar and it's the only one. Thanks for this Guerlain docu.👍👌💚
Shalimar is the pride of Guerlain (to me) 🤌🤌🤌
I have Vetiver and Heritage in both the "listerine" bottles and the new L'Homme Ideal-style bottles and they smell exactly the same to my nose. People in this hobby go crazy with reformulation hysteria and it's so tiresome. The atomizers on the new bottles completely trounce the "listerine" bottle atomizers, so I consider the new bottles an overall win. Awesome video as always, Ramsey!
Thanks for sharing .. I have never smelled the newer bottles but the listerine bottles were good versions to my nose
Thanks for watching & sharing 😊
Excellent video! Thank you
Thanks for watching FloralNotes 🌻🌹🌸🌼🌷
Wow - I can imagine what hard work it was to review all these wonderful and classic Guerlains - (my favorite house) - and then ranking them as well! Thanks, Ramsey. We do appreciate you. I think numbers of people have that reaction to the jasmine that you talk about but I am one of those for whom Samsara EDP is my all time favorite sandlewood - of all the sandalwoods - including the Chanels. Being an American of Indian heritage - and having had the privilege of traveling in India many many times - I can offer two things to the conversation. 1. India and Indians to me is not / are not as "spiritual" as so many westerners find it - it is a country full of folks like any other with struggles like any other - but India is to me - the ultimate olfactory experience. It's unique smells are what make India unique. And so - Samsara - to me - is a transporting, spiritual experience. What I think Guerlain intended to arrive at with this classic scent - is exactly what I get - it is the essence of any given Indian palace or temple or even prayer altar in any given private home - at dawn or at dusk - and the smell of ancient books - ancient dried flowers - and ancient, burning wood. Samsara to me is my early early childhood - in a bottle.
Wow what a beautiful comment... thanks so much for adding so much to the conversation. Now I want to travel to India ✈️
@@RamseytheRam I sincerely hope someday you get the chance to go!
With the Jersey and chain you should be in an E-40 or UGK video!
😂😂😂
Thanks for watching & commenting
I did know about Shalimar being the most popular fragrance ever for women. I have a lot of different versions of these perfumes and perhaps some are more popular than others but I do love and wear all of the older ones.
Absolutely love shalimar... in any version or concentration... it really feels like I am wearing an artifact of historical precident and extreme importance when I wear it 😊
Good work man 👍.... and only one's I would add is:
Vega,
Sous le Vent
Cuir de Russie,
Mouchoir de Monsieur
Vetiver extreme
Homme L'eau (not boisee)
And the other Habit Rouge flankers:
Sport,
Taille sur Mesure,
Beau Cavalier,
Mouchior de Monsieur made the list along with the Habit Rouge Extrait... would love to smell Guerlain Cuir de Russie one day 😊
@@RamseytheRam i know my bad, having to stop start the video and missing bits. Also my bottle of Monsieur is an older one with 'handkerchief of monsieur' so getting mixed up a little.... not only is Guerlain my favourite house for the fragrances, but also the bottles as a collector and they are making a big mistake standardising everything.
@@Andy_T79 totally agree! 😊
Ramsey,
Hello! Like you, I'm a big fan of this house, so much so that I have more bottles in my collection from this house than any of the other brands in my collection. There are 7 on your list that I own. I'll list them, plus those in my collection that you've not listed. Thanks for sharing!
A2!
1. Vetiver(* Vintage)
2. CORIOLON
3. Santal Royal
4. Tonka Imperial
5. Derby
6. Chamade
7. * Cuir Beluga
8. * Arsene Lupin Voyou
9. *Encense Mythique(* vintage bottle)
Never smelled vintage encens Mythique 🤔Is it similar to the new bottle? Also never smelled Cuir Beluga or Arsene Lupin Voyou 🥺
One day soon!
Thanks for watching & commenting 😊
I just got myself the 1985 vintage Derby( the eagle bottle) paid a lot for it but it was well worth the price. My favorite fragrance of all time. Wish I could have more but hard to come by
Congrats .. i would love an Eagle bottle one day... i havent been able to find one at a fair price yet 🦅
this is an important info for Guerlain Lover
Thanks so much for watching & commenting 🍻
Hi Ramsey
I’ve been watching you channel for a while now. I really like how educational it is since your knowledge about the scents you have is out of this world
I was wondering if you could help me with some info regarding Guerlain Heritage EDT
Is the scent closer to Roja Danger or Is it closer to LIDGE
Thanks
Martin
Thanks so much for the kind words Martin!
Yes Rojas Danger is heavily inspired by Heritage EDT! I love wearing them both but its impossible to smell Danger and not think of Heritage 😊
Hi Ramsey
Your welcome
Thanks for your answer
I think I will have to buy a bottle of the Heritage EDT even though it’s a little to “old school” to me
Its a top ten all time frag all time for me... timeless 💎
Guerlain vol de nuit extrait is beautiful, right up your street Ramsey. To my nose it smells completely different to the edt, it has a mesmerising violet leaf which gives it that gasoline vibe reminiscent of Fahrenheit. I would say it's quite masculine compared to the edt. I have a 7.5 ml spray version with a blue and white porcelain style bottle. Extremely good perfume.
It is on my to sniff list... there are so many of those old Guerlain Extraits I have never smelled... for example I never smelled Mitsouko extrait or Vol de Nuit or Samsara .. so much sniffing to do and so little time 🐽
Ramsey, Ive bought shalimar edt and currently have 3 bids on others here. Thanks and no thanks LOL. Also I believe i have spent the most time on this video. ;)
Shalimar is one of the greatest fragrances I have ever sniffed and truly changed my life because it opened the door to the world of "womens" perfume for me 🤌🤌🤌
@@RamseytheRam I await. Ive found parfum de toilet Shalimar, vetiver, eau de parfum l'heure bleue and Coriolan
New to your channel. Great content and love your videos. Learn a lot from watching. Thank you for what you do and sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for watching Aaron... much obliged 🙂
I think you have to take your family to Paris and visit The Osmotheque 😊
Yes thats right! That would be my dream vacaction ✈️
Hey Rams,i ended up having a conversation with the Guerlain boutique manager at Saks fifth avenue ,hes doing a Q&A with Thierry Wasser and he promised to ask him a question for me and i asked him to ask Mr Wasser if there was any truth to the fact that they were going to bring back Derby for limited edition. He promised he would ask. He said sadly it didn't sell well and its all about the numbers but hed ask anyway. Anyway I just thought it was cool that I was able to talk to him and he promised that for me. I'm excited for an answer.
Nice! Do let me know what he comes back with 💪🐏
@@RamseytheRam I definitely will. But sadly it will most likely be that they probably won't because it won't sell ,but we can hope.
I've finally gotten all the way through this survey of Guerlain.
Wow, I have barely scratched the surface of Guerlain. I have Vetiver, Heritage, Habit Rouge, Homme, Homme Intense, Homme L'eau Boisée, L'Instant de Guerlain, Mouchoir de Monsieur, L'Homme Ideal L'Intense. I've managed to put my nose briefly on L'Heure Bleu, Mitsouko, Shalimar and Samsara. I loved the classic smell of L'Heure Bleu and Shalimar, and thought Samsara smelled "medicinal", although that might have been due to it having turned. I haven't even gotten my nose on Jicky yet. Little afraid of the animalic intensity of it, but I will probably seek a full bottle for historical reasons. I do enjoy just a slight, very slight, "halitosis" vibe of some 1980's fragrances like Floris Elite (1980), Lancome Sagamore (1986) and even to a lesser degree Tiffany for Men (1989). No civet notes listed in any of them so I'm not sure if it's the characteristics of the musk or maybe something like animalis, which I think was some commercially available material used by perfumers back then. Anyway, I've got a long way to go with Guerlain. I'll probably never get my nose on the discontinued Derby or Le Frenchy. Although I just got a just got a clone of Le Frenchy. So far my favorite Guerlains are Vetiver, Heritage, L'Instant de Guerlain. Love the history of the early 20th century classic "feminine" Guerlain's (L'Heure Bleu, Mitsouko, Shalimar, Vol de Nuit) and their iconic position in perfumery. The Homme line is way to faint a performer for me, with L'eau Boisée being more substantial and to my liking. L'Homme Ideal L'Intense is nice but too modern for my tastes to be a favorite. Vetiver is THE reference vetiver. Best there ever was. And the most influential vetiver. Hope I can find a vintage bottle.
Fantastic survey of the House of Guerlain! Best in media again.
Thanks so much for adding to the conversation... you still have so much of the greatest perfume house of all time to explore ... those vintage fem frags like Mitsouko & shalimar & L'Heure Bleue are some of the greatest frags of all time ... hope you fall in love with them like I did 🤌🤌🤌
Since getting into perfumes I swore I won't get into vintage perfumes, they make no sense at all and now I'm hunting for old guerlains like "800€ Derby seems like an absolute steal!", even when that's no where near to my price range haha. Thank's for the video, such an interesting house!
The only way to move forward is to look to the past 🤌💪🐏
The 'big boy' vintage Habit Rouge was a bottle from April 1993.
A great month & year indeed.... thank you 🙂
I thought so as I have an 80's EDC and the bottle is different to this
The only Guerlain i had was Shalimar but i sold it-it's hard for me to deal with the civet note. Castoreum smells more mild and i will probably go for Antaeus :)
Sorry to hear that 😔
Thanks so much for watching & commenting 😊
Get habit rouge, very shalimar like
If you had to pick between Vintage Guerlain Heritage or current Chanel Egoiste, would you have a preference? Would it be an easy choice for you or “could go wither way on any day” type decision? Thanks a million for your opinion.
Ohh that would be an easy choice... vintage Guerlain Heritage EDT all day every day 🤌🤌🤌
@@RamseytheRam Awesome….Thank you! I hope you and the family get better.
It is a very hard task to rank guerlain perfumes, but for me this list isn't complete without "jardins de bagatelle" from 1983, and "champs elysees" from a decade later, two of the most beautiful florals ever created.
Yesterday i smelled l'instant for women edp in the original version, and was amazed by the good quality of the ingredients. (While the composition is less to my taste, so i hesitated to buy it)
Yes you are spot on... but this is not a complete list but a list of Guerlains but rather a ranking of Guerlains in my collection 😊
I bought a vintage Habit Rouge splash that looks exactly like the one you show in this video. I was shocked at how animalic it got on my skin. I mean Salome level animalic. I don't know if it is my skin chemistry, the maceration or it is supposed to be like that.
Yes the vintage Habit Rouge bottles are amazing 🥰
Woah I was expecting shalimar to be number 1 but yh I came to the same realization recently when i bought van cleefs precious Oud which was meant for women unknowingly and wow it’s literally the only vanilla fragrance I like. Maybe I’d give shalimar a try as well. But yh guys don’t be afraid if it says feminine. Look at the notes ❤
100% agree 🤌🤌🤌
Shalimar is 🔥
Please rank the house of Demeter next. Do you think Lobster beats out Pizza and Baby despite the reformulation?
Dont own any Demeters 🤷♂️
Ilove Samsara probably I have more vintage of that tha any other, I nevwr knew about the Air, I lern a lot in yhis chanel. I can buy a Coriolan near to me, do you think can be used for a woman or is really masculine?
Ummm i would think it CAN be used by a woman but I bet Un Air de Samsara would be better suited for you... Un Air de Samsara is BEAUTIFUL 🙂
💛
LHomme Ideal Extreme is excellent modern release. Ive been searching for a quality boozy scent, now i found it.
I totally agree... even though its sweet its one of my guilty Pleasures 😆
@@RamseytheRam honestly i need some sweet stuff sometimes, it works amazing in the cold air. But its sweet done right, thats all that matters.
Brilliant tribute to the venerable House of Guerlain.
Thank you so much Jean -Luc 🤌🤌🤌🤌
Have you tried Angelique Noire? What are your thoughts on that if you have?
Unfortunately not, bur it is on my never ending "to sniff list" 🐽
@@RamseytheRam ah ok. I'm constantly using your videos for guidance ha.
hey man, how old is your bottle of habit rouge in the thumbnail pic for the vid if you know? i have a bottle on the way, its a spray bottle but has the same gold cap and same label on the front....confusing part is that its batch code zx0m7, which would theoretically make it a 2008 bottle which is impossible with that bottle and cap lol.
Its a 90s bottle I think
If you got this bottle and label you will love it 💪🐏
@@RamseytheRam thank you bro! heres hoping lol
oh my god dude...got it today...dont even know what to say about it yet but i think this is one of the most amazing fragrances i ever smelled in my life. legitimately, its insane.
the batch code ended up being vc ox5 on the one i got which is a 1998 bottle
@@SeanHH1986 any old Guerlains are mind blowing 🤯
where can I buy the vintage (long bottle) of heritage edt? Suggest me some website please.
Ebay or mercari
@@RamseytheRam can you describe the packaging of your version: zig zag box? or gold label?
Interestingly, fresh check says that your version 9TO2 is 2019. Mine is 2012, and I checked because I got the packaging in collaboration with Kuntzel + Daygas. smells richer than the currently selling versions and the juice is darker in color. Lasts pretty long, and projects well for the first 3 hours.
I realized that The Moon by Frederic Malle is what Thierry Wasser should have done with Santal Royal. They’re both sharp oud fragrances with oud and leather in the base however Julien Rasquinet using fruits in a far superior way with the litchi and raspberry than the peach Wasser uses.
Completely agree .. thinking of selling my bottle of Santal Royal after I do a scathing review of it 😂😂😂
@@RamseytheRam it used to be jammier and more animalic on the jasmine but they reformulated it and it’s boring.
I really hate it... one of my most hated perfumes 😂😂😂

My favorite Guerlain masculine... vintage Heritage EDT... masterpiece 🤌🤌🤌
You’d like royal tobacco and FDB PM
Amouage Royal Tobacco? I already have a video about it up on the channel 😃
You can find it under the Amouage Playlist 🤌🤌🤌
this is a video i have been waiting for. brilliant👍. I personally prefer mitsouko to sharlama. unfortunately my habitrouge and heritage are both red cap bottles from around 2018 which simply not satisfactory. I know I can expect much more from vintage bottles.
If you get your nose on the vintages do let me know what you make of it🤌🤌🤌
Thanks so much for watching & commenting 😊
i would add 2 hidden gems wich i love very much Chamdae pur homme and Arsene Lupin Dandy
Never smelled either! I hope to one day as they are on my Guerlain wish list to sniff 🐽
Thanks so much for watching Ali 🍻
Oh my goodness I don’t know how I got so lucky, but I found an old vintage Shalimar extrait bottle from the 70’s. I literally just put a drop on my wrist and it’s Amazing. It’s going in the “vault” .
Now I need to find a vintage Mitsuoko . The bottle I have from a few yrs ago is not all that great. I also need to find an old Chergui.
I have a newer bottle of it and its been reformulated, it’s weak. What I don’t like about Serge Lutens bottles is that they are screw top and ppl can easily mess with it. I like a sealed bottle. So if I find a vintage Chergui, it has to be from someone I trust .
I know exactly what you mean... thanks for watching & sharing Lisa 🙂
@@RamseytheRamI messed up it’s extrait actually . You know that small parapluie bottle they had .
It’s like going back in time. Very nice

@@RamseytheRam I’m not sure why My juice isn’t that yellow
😭 maybe cuz I bought it as new and it didn’t macerate??
Awesome video though, long awaited haha
shalimar came out in 1921 same year as coty's emeraude.
Many of the databases show 1925
What's your opinion on L'homme ideal L'intense?
I have never smelled it sorry.. I would like to one day though... I like Guerlain 👍🏻
I read this one takes on a smokey leathery quality and has a mature feel to it. Waiting for my decant to arrive to try it myself
Do report back and let me know what you make of it 🤌🤌🤌
So my first impressions is a bit of disappointment tbh. It's basically just a slightly less sweet version of the edp maybe on par with the sweetness of the extreme version and I didn't get that strong bold opening people were raving about (The whole reason for wanting to try it). It by no means smells terrible but it's basically just too similar to the edp for my liking.
My guess is I got unlucky and received a decant from the newer bottles which is supposed to be weaker than the black bottle version but I also don't care enough to seek out the black bottles to test that for myself.

You're in luck. There was a Metallica ebay listing yesterday that I saw. At $2600 I said "oh h*** no". The new limited release of Shalimar, Guerlain should have limited purchases to 1 per person at $124. I see eBay sellers who must have bought 20 bottles and one seller listed them at $179. Again I said "oh h*** no" you keep it.
Its still there ... that guy is smoking crack 😂

The month comes BEFORE the day. That's how we date. But daaaaamn.....that top 5....tough to beat. Vetiver edt might be in there in place of one of the Shalimars for me, but yeah. Guerlain over Chanel and Dior ANY day of da week....month AND day. That's how we date.
I think Guerlain is probably my favorite house... but I will do Ranked Family Portraits on Chanel & Dior too... it will not be simple 😊
@@RamseytheRam None of your vids are Ramsey. 😄That's what we love about 'em.
Guerlain should be ashamed of themselves for selling such garbage. Mitsuoko is nothing but a ghost of what it was. It’s now watered down so much that all u smell is alcohol, they reformulate everything . If it cost 5c it would be too expensive. Pretty much everything Guerlain has released in the past 10 years has been garbage. They’re the kings of reformulation. I wouldn’t buy anything Guerlain has released in the past 7-10 yrs. And Mitsuoko, only vintage before 1995.
Vintage Mitsouko is soooo good ... i have a few old bottles coming... cant wait 🙂
Absolument d’accord avec cela. Les grands chefs d’œuvre de Guerlain sont l’ombre d’eux-mêmes, méconnaissables et les nouvelles créations ne leur arrivent pas à la cheville. Juste du marketing bavard et tape à l’œil et de l’emballage.

sorry i also should have told you i love you're whole video review...... but as a Scot SHITE is a fantabolusa word.
Shite is a very under utilized word 😂😂😂
You talk too much!!😢
Thanks for watching 😊
Unfortunately guerlain has now sold its soul to the free bottle brigade! Sad to see this once great company having to resort to that.
Absolutely aweful.... my all time favorite French house if you just go up to the point JPG "retired" 🤌🤌🤌
