I feel violated by that intro. To paraphrase the Simpsons...me: "How do you sleep at night?" Jeremy: "On a pile of money surrounded by many beautiful women."
I bought the Armani Pour Homme back in the days when it was released, it knocked my socks off, pure Italian elegance and class. I still wear it today and every time I use it, it brings a smile on my face. It is one of those frags thats timeless. It can be dressed up or down, it always deliver. I love it :-)
I own 3 of the 5, missing out on YSL and Givenchy. I'm happy to rely on your taste for any new fragrances as you seem to be my most suited reviewer. BDP, Chanel PM, Guerlain Heritage and as an everyday work scent, Lalique pour homme are some of my favourites.👍
Great review, as usual-I smelled the Chanel decades ago and can still remember that unique citrus opening. Thanks for referencing it. The Armani is sublimely Italian-so elegant.👍
I agree 100% with your choices: top list. And since i am your fan, please be the one to make loewe 7 the next gentlemen super fragance: its an amazing perfume.
Your list...solid...your reaction intro...stunning. LOL!!! I was going to say if you like the Chanel Pour Monsieur then try Monsieur de Givenchy, but you got that one too. Cheers!
You got me into all these ...Once I knew YSLPH was on the movie American Pyscho I had to check it out and it rocked my socks ....Pour Monsieur grew on me but when it did I found something to associate it with : California lemon trees... Never got into the Givenchys Monsieur or their Xeryus for that matter and the Habit Rouge reminds me of Three flowers pomade... Eau Pour Homme Armani is another beauty and I like my 2 bottles of Eau Sauvage Extreme over the original sitting next to them...
Armani eau pour homme my first proper fragrance when I was 16. 1st Insignia for men (I was 15 ads were catchy) 2 Armani eau pour homme 3 Joop (hated it after about 3 weeks and gave it away) 4 CK one (everybody wore this) 5 Ralph Lauren polo sport ( loved it and wore it clubbing between 17-20 years of age, smells completely different now)
Huh didn't watch that Jeremy vid; gotta admire his (and intro-creator's) bravery; the below-referenced penguin is, indeed, extremely unusual. I know my fragrance "journey" was changed by sampling 3 of the mentioned scents; now treasure my Eau Sauvage, Habit Rouge. Will be bordering the Armani (vintage & modern) soon. Each was love at first sampled sniff; agree with Sir Smelly that modern scents lack complexity, realistic notes, and masculine character by comparison. Recently sampling YSL Y edp, D&G Light Blue Intense (both nice quality but def not 4 me) only makes me wish I'd sampled the rest of those mentioned sooner. Cheers.
Spot on with all five picks ( and the honourable mention)! In my opinion, too, these are THE quintessential classic gentleman’s fragrances - together with another half dozen, or so. I do respect Habit Rouge, but personally find it utterly unwearable. I much favour J-P Guerlain’s 1959 debut release, the great Vetiver.
This is by far the best video featuring MrSmelly's facial expressions. I could not stop laughing watching MrSmelly's reactions to Jeremy's clips. Definitely hilarious.
Chanel Pour Monsieur - 10/10. I prefer this over Eau Sauvage. I find CPM has better longevity & projection vs DES. Only started wearing CPM this year. Extend longevity and improve projection by spraying on clothes. Very good fragrance for my work in healthcare. Scents that stay closer to the skin are more appropriate in this setting, in my opinion. This fragrance smells fresh and clean, with an interesting but subtle character after the first hour or so; very gentlemanly. Great choice! Regarding DES. Improve its longevity and projection by using the afters-have balm as a moisturizer and use the deodorant too. And spray on clothes.
Excellent video Dan. I have Armani eau pour homme. If you haven't tried it yet, try Quercia from Acqua di Parma (brown bottle). Fits very well in this category.
Dior Eau Sauvage, Dunhill Icon, Dior Homme Intense, Dior Homme Parfum and Hugo Boss Bottled Intense EDP, probably one of the best gentleman fragrances of all time.✌
Eau pour homme was Armani's debut men's fragrance and I wore it as a teenager in the late 80's along with Dior sauvage. Still weer both today as my back to the future fragrances ie fragrances from the past which are still current.
Dan, that intro 😂 Jeremy doesn't know what's waiting for him in 20 years when he has too look back at his video. 😂 OK a better note.. Armani Eau pour homme is my most special fragrance. I have two bottles if it. One fragrance that should be included in your list is what I'm wearing tonight. Vintage Givenchy Gentleman.. Tons of hair on growing on your chest on this one! Civet, honey and Patchouli 💪💜
I love chanel pour monsieur but a pity sue longevity is not at the top, I like to spray it on summer mornings on me with eau pour homme in a fitting version of early 90s of course, I went to Essenza ADP I find it more modern and fresher and hold all day without. problem
The only fragrance in your selection here I have is Guerlain HR, I like it very much - subtle, traditional, quietly complex and masculine, what's not to like 😏
Great review👍keep doing...and try "Versace l'homme" from 86 I think -it's one of the best perfume ever!and it's from the same class more less ,like this from your review
I only hope that no penguin have been injured shooting Jeremiah's video on the pool of decadence. New subcriber here,keep it up with your great content
E Marinella 100, italian class all the way, that one plus Trophee Lancome from the 80s, and Photo Lagerfeld, and YSL Pour Homme Concentree vintage versions
Looks like someone's been watching Gregg's channel eh. :P Btw, was that the original penguin everyone's been talking about? Could've sworn it was a different colour... Anyway, the modern Monsieur de Givenchy kicks butt. Ditto with Vetyver. Might as well add Milano Cento too. Gentlemanly up the wazoo. That would be the bum.
Hello. I did plan this list before watching Greg's latest video. We did mention 2 or 3 the same and his video has some less obvious choice that I really would like to own too!
great review, coincidentally some of your choices very similar to(Greggieboy76 on Great old school fragrances/colognes part one), great choices I have got a couple of them. funny into though Lolll.
Very disappointed in Monsieur de Givenchy. I love the smell but it lasts only about 1 hour on my skin!! at £66 currently on Notino, my worst ever buy. I love Givenchy in general but this was sadly, very disappointing.
@@MrSmelly1977 Literally, I kid you not, I sprayed loads on my t-shirt today and an hour later, no evidence of any smell whatsoever !! Never experienced anything so pathetic !!
Amazing intro :D Plus during the main theme that "claping" to the rythm sounded more like "faping" to the rythm LOL. BTW I like to wear these types of colognes - mainly at home just for personal pleasure.
LMAO 😂💀 Those facial expressions say it all.....Another wonderful review video on some on the best fragrances ever released by the "larger" designer houses. #phucktheblues
I came to hear Mr. Smelly suggest how I should properly complement my all around gentlemany personae but instead I get a guy with a bottle of Hugo Boss In Motion down his white undies, talking as he sits on an inflatable flamingo. I feel less gentlemanly but the laughs those reactions brought are well worth it.

MrSmelly1977 hi did you no new Lacoste coming soon
new Jimmy Choo fragrance soon

“A spin in the penguin”. Good god, literally the real life Zoolander.
Funny looking penguin at that!
Pahahahaha
🤣😂🤣😂
I would add Guerlain Vetiver and Chanel Antaeus.
That entro 😂😂😂😂 and that look 👀
Thanks Mehdi!
Mr Smelly you're a legend, cracking up at the opening, bought to mind all those classic carry on films with those reaction shots hahaha.
Thanks Espresso!
I feel violated by that intro. To paraphrase the Simpsons...me: "How do you sleep at night?" Jeremy: "On a pile of money surrounded by many beautiful women."
Thanks for watching!!!

Thanks Danny. I agree.
Your reactions to his speedo clips were hilarious!!! Had me bursting in laughter every time you looked at the camera 😂 🤣 🤣 💀
Thanks a lot I’m really glad it made people laugh.
I own 3 of the 5, missing out on YSL and Givenchy. I'm happy to rely on your taste for any new fragrances as you seem to be my most suited reviewer. BDP, Chanel PM, Guerlain Heritage and as an everyday work scent, Lalique pour homme are some of my favourites.👍
That JF vid is so weird😂. He is on a pink flamingo, plus I didn’t know he was gay. You learn something new every day
Top notch...one of your best!
Great review, as usual-I smelled the Chanel decades ago and can still remember that unique citrus opening. Thanks for referencing it. The Armani is sublimely Italian-so elegant.👍
Das ist ja unglaublich.... anyway. Thanks for the contribution of yours, MrSmelly 😊
“Hasnt worked for me so far...” i love you Dan.
If you add Dior Homme 2011 this is exactly my current collection and could hardly live without...this Mr Smelly has great taste!!😆✌
Was that a small decant? or is he just pleased to see us? 🐛
You've nailed that Intro... 👍 Always well inspired! And that Jeremy... Omg 😄
Thank you Roman.
I agree 100% with your choices: top list. And since i am your fan, please be the one to make loewe 7 the next gentlemen super fragance: its an amazing perfume.
Thanks Paulo I will look into that one.
Good selection and good video, beautiful Classics fragances, thanks.
I couldn’t agree more with this list 100% spot on
Have only tried the Armani - which I loved.
Your list...solid...your reaction intro...stunning. LOL!!! I was going to say if you like the Chanel Pour Monsieur then try Monsieur de Givenchy, but you got that one too. Cheers!
Thanks s lot Jim!

Really good reviews and excellent picks Mr Dan.
I'm not a fan of "habit rouge"...however, "Armani eau homme" - I wear on the regular and is very old-school classy in my opinion.! great video man
Armani eau pour homme my first proper fragrance when I was 16.
1st Insignia for men (I was 15 ads were catchy)
2 Armani eau pour homme
3 Joop (hated it after about 3 weeks and gave it away)
4 CK one (everybody wore this)
5 Ralph Lauren polo sport ( loved it and wore it clubbing between 17-20 years of age, smells completely different now)
I am not a Joop fan either! Thanks Jason.
💯 Dan. You nailed this one. Great descriptions covering 5 decades. Well done.
Thanks very much Depeche.
Hello Dan, I have to say we are miles apart on our taste in Frags but I always enjoy learning about stuff like this. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Thanks very much. I love your channel.
@@MrSmelly1977 thanks for the kind word my friend.
Great video! 🎉

Hello from Brazil, I joined to your team today, nice review. Best regards.
Excellent video Dan. I have Armani eau pour homme. If you haven't tried it yet, try Quercia from Acqua di Parma (brown bottle). Fits very well in this category.
Oh no way!! lol that intro was funny as 😂 Love your videos, Great fragrance reviews and funny intros, dosnt get any better than this.
Thanks very much Christopher.
JF: That intro = Maximum Domination 😅
Thanks Hunter!
These are all fantastic fragrances. I think if I needed one designer forever, Eau Sauvage would be it
Dior Eau Sauvage, Dunhill Icon, Dior Homme Intense, Dior Homme Parfum and Hugo Boss Bottled Intense EDP, probably one of the best gentleman fragrances of all time.✌
Thank you for the history; so interesting how they've changed.
Thanks Eduardo!
The Armani was one of my firsts back in around 86 .
Armaini still using it today one of my all time favourites nice one Mr smelly
Thanks Brendan.
@@MrSmelly1977 no problem mate
Great review!
Thanks very much.
The Armani is my go to evening suit and tie fragrance.
I really love the Armani eau pour homme after it has been sitting an hour on my skin. Masculine perfume
+1 for Habit Rouge EDT & Eau Pour Homme. Another one in the same vein would be Guerlain Vetiver EDT.
Eau pour homme was Armani's debut men's fragrance and I wore it as a teenager in the late 80's along with Dior sauvage. Still weer both today as my back to the future fragrances ie fragrances from the past which are still current.
Both amazing fragrances.
I’m thinking Jeremy might be Hercules’ long lost brother, Ridicules...

Great list and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
I'm trying to decide between Lalique pour homme edp and Boucheron Pour Homme edt. which do you think is better?
Beautiful bottles too.
Excellent list. These classics are historical. Habit Rouge is one of my favs. 🐧 Thanks for sharing your list sir. Cheers
Thanks very much Nikhil! I loved your latest video too.
Please don't do a Jeremy! That was ... disturbing, strange & bizarrre.
What a clown.... Watching Jeremy in general makes me angry
The only fragrance in your selection here I have is Guerlain HR, I like it very much - subtle, traditional, quietly complex and masculine, what's not to like 😏
@@paulop30 Have you considered therapy, or, perhaps not watching? 😉 Haha
@@Lawful_Rebel I'll consider both options... But again I was watching MrSmelly... Didn't expect some guy riding a pink flamingo
Great review👍keep doing...and try "Versace l'homme" from 86 I think -it's one of the best perfume ever!and it's from the same class more less ,like this from your review
That intro was brilliant 😀
Thank you!
Armani homme is great stuff
Also, versace homme. Classic manly fresh but spicy barbershop
That intro was hilarious!
Your list is better your channel is better and I’m not sponsored by you !!!!!👍👍👍
Thanks a lot Ryszard!
I watch old Mr Smelly videos knowing I can count on hilarious intros 😂
The beginning killed me 😂😭
You're spot on
Thanks Dave.
Nice picks as usual Dan...Pour Monsieur is on my wishlist as well
Thanks very much my friend.
No one in the frag com does intros as funny as yours 😂.
Hilarious opening! Michael Hines
Too bad Notino doesn’t show up for people in the U.S. It was my go to website 😔.
I only hope that no penguin have been injured shooting Jeremiah's video on the pool of decadence.
New subcriber here,keep it up with your great content
Thanks very much matosos25 and welcome aboard!
4711 /Armani /Chanel.
E Marinella 100, italian class all the way, that one plus Trophee Lancome from the 80s, and Photo Lagerfeld, and YSL Pour Homme Concentree vintage versions
Thanks for the suggestions MrMiles.
Hi! How do you think about. Aramis? Back in the 80ies it was very Popular. When i try it now it smells like old man.
can we get a top ten or five aftershave list!!
I would like to do that but I don't have enough experience yet with afrershaves. I guess I could still do the Top 5 in my collection.
flamingo, not penguin. that's all i got.
Your introductions are the best!
Thanks Sauli.
Decent *package* there on Jeremy......just saying....
With that intro I really thought it was the Pet Shop Boys' top 5/dance tracks...
When that Smelly77 video hits 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Bruno!
Ha!!! Bring on the speedo dude!! Lol! Now I wanna do a top five frags with my fatness in a bikini 🤣🤣
Hilarious intro Smelly 🤣
Thanks Radek!!

I see Habit Rouge is also offered in edp version. any opinion about it?
I have tried a decant and so far I prefer the EdT which is slightly more fresh.
thank you sir
Habit Rouge, quite curious about how it compares to Heritage.
They're both 'must have'!
He had a bottle of Mugler Cologne down his Pants 😬
Nice penguin Jeremy 😂😂😂
LOL! Great opening
Thank you Roly.
great review, coincidentally some of your choices very similar to(Greggieboy76 on Great old school fragrances/colognes part one), great choices I have got a couple of them. funny into though Lolll.
Man are notino perfumes 100% original?
ARMANI eau pour homme (1984-2023). Taken from us far too soon. REQUIESCAT IN PACE.
He really slaughtered the pronunciation of pour Monsieur. Apart from that great video!
Of course this category is relevant! I am waiting for my wife to get the au sauvage for me. Just not sure what to do about the penguin?
Thanks very much . Love your channel!
Very disappointed in Monsieur de Givenchy. I love the smell but it lasts only about 1 hour on my skin!! at £66 currently on Notino, my worst ever buy. I love Givenchy in general but this was sadly, very disappointing.
Thanks for the comment Chairman. I find it to last a lot longer than that but it is a discreet scent.
@@MrSmelly1977 Literally, I kid you not, I sprayed loads on my t-shirt today and an hour later, no evidence of any smell whatsoever !! Never experienced anything so pathetic !!
Hmm seems like you and GregBoy are on the exact same page this week same frags 🙌😀👍
Amazing intro :D Plus during the main theme that "claping" to the rythm sounded more like "faping" to the rythm LOL.
BTW I like to wear these types of colognes - mainly at home just for personal pleasure.
Thanks very much Kombasan.
great ..but why you talking fast...is there anyone who wants to catch you
'A spin with the penguin' hmm I wonder was Jezza referring to the flamingo or is penguin a pet name for something else? :P
LMAO 😂💀 Those facial expressions say it all.....Another wonderful review video on some on the best fragrances ever released by the "larger" designer houses. #phucktheblues
