I loved Versus...I really miss Gucci Envy, Gucci Pour Homme II, DK Men, D&G Masculine, Fendi Life Essence, Joop Nightflight, Escada Pour Homme, and Jil Sander Feeling Man. All the good ones get discontinued!!
Glad to see you back, Fahrenheit, Eau Sauvage, Jacomo de Jacomo, Polo Green, Calvin Klein Calvin, Lagerfeld Classic, Bijan, those are my favorites, last year I bought vintage bottles of all those. From the ones in the video haven't tried any but I need to try G L'INSTANT DE GUERLAIN but the ones that I been watching on eBay are $250+ so I will get the new one, I don't know how different it is from the OG but it's a lot cheaper. Thanks for the list Sebastian!!!
Welcome back! What a trip down memory lane... How do you feel about Patou Pour Homme and Patou Pour Homme Prive? I have a couple of bottles of PPH, used to be my signature scent back in the day, but I rarely reach for it now. The Prive version I had a decant of and used it up a long time ago.
This was a great vid! I have sense memories of VC&A as well as Iquitos. Those were the days when even designer colognes were well-blended powerhouses. The DNAs did not rely on synthetics, weren’t overly sweet and were masculine. Thanks for this!
I first heard of Mauboussin Generation M from you, in a video almost a year ago I suppose by now. Was so intrigued I got samples. Loved it. Then I got five more samples, just to enjoy it a while longer. I don't suppose I'll keep getting samples, but I'll enjoy what I've got left.
I should add: I love many discontinued men's fragrances (some of my favorites include: Valentino Vendetta Uomo, Ho Hang from Balenciaga, Monsieur de Givenchy, Luciano Pavarotti by Luciana Pavarotti, and Tsar by VCA) so I loved getting this list! I have two of these that I love (Balenciaga Pour Homme and Monsieur Balmain), but the rest are new to me--some, I see, are quite expensive on-line, but some are affordable from discount sources or other Internet sources.
My list: Gucci Pour Homme 1 & 2, Envy, Rush Antidote Viktor&Rolf Valentino V Pour Homme, Vendetta Uomo, Very Valentino for Men What About Adam Joop! Dolce&Gabbana By for men, Pour Homme (1994), Sicily for women 2003 Armani Attitude Gentleman (1974) Givenchy FYI in 2020, this happened Basile Uomo Intense, haven't try this one but I wanted to put it on the map
Welcome back! From your list fragrances that I enjoyed and had through the 80s and 90s were Smalto, Iquitos, Van Cleef, Rive Gauche, Versus, KL, M Kors, Balenciaga, Basil, Farenheit. All wonderful. Two from the 80s that I rarely hear about that I miss are the original Clinique for men, Tailoring (and later Chemistry) and Halston’s Catalyst. Have you tried those?
My Vintage Favorite Fragrances: Lagerfeld Photo,KL Homme,Alain Delon "Classic" and last but not least Jil Sander Background and as Bonus Jil Sander Eau de Toilette"Woman 3"...this is the best Fougere fragrance for men made for a woman...!
Iquitos smelled A-mazing. 'Loved KL too. Years ago, H & M did do a short-lived exclusive relaunch of KL. Versus was awesome too. Also loved Colors de Benetton, and Hardy Amies Gentlemen's.
I don't know whether it would be classified as vintage but Bvlgari Pour Homme has been discontinued and I am going to deeply miss it when the inventory runs out. This has been my signature scent since the late 90's and I still wear it till this day.
I've got B*Men a long time ago. ANGEL Thierry Mugler was my favourite fragrance in the 90s. I sprayed B*Men on a cotton ball and kept it in my bedroom for several days. I loved it. However, I would not apply it on myself - too masculine.
I miss Green Jeans too. Couldn't agree more with M Generation. Honestly stowed that bottle away and haven't used it in years because I don't wanna lose it. So many great fragrances on this list, it's just sad to see what they've replaced with. I really do think that we've outlived the last great perfume renaissance. It's a whole new ballgame now.
Awesome review as usual sabastian keep the good scents up and wish to see you on another review about fragrances with beautiful scents and sure fairly performance
although it’s nothing complicated I LOVE the original classic Armani Eau de Toilette particularly in the summer. It’s so classic and I still can’t believe that it’s gone disco ☹️ also Gucci Rush men great winter scent 😔😔
The original Gucci Pour Homme , 1978 release not sure who the perfumer was but for some reason i thought it might be Guy Robert ? that was a great fragrance and i think even today it would smell great.
Great topic. VC&A is a personal favorite. Original Nino Cerutti (1979) discontinued in the 80s & the original Ungaro pourl'Homme (1991) are beautiful and hard to find.
I'm really surprised you never mention Halston Catalyst. That was one of my favorite 1990's scents. It was eventually purchased by EA Fragrances and naturally reformulated into something not as complex. Other than that, I would add Lagerfeld Photo, Pierre Cardin Musk, Paul Sebastian VSOP and Coty's Raw Vanilla.
Very great Review. I am at the Moment addicted to Vintage/oldscool Fragrances. So nice to see this Video now. Coty was a very fantastic house. Which Vintage shop do you mean?
Great video, you cover some fragrances I've never heard of. Carnation has become less used because its component, eugenol is now restricted to a lower percentage, I think it's the reason.
Monsieur Balmain actually goes back even earlier to its original formulation in 1964 by the great Germaine Cellier, one of the greatest parfumeurs of the twentieth century.
Carolina Herrera Aqua is one that was sadly discontinued and is my all time favourite. I think that not very popular in iits time, but was great and original aroma with awesome perfomance. I also think that biggest part of A*men flanker should be available again, cause I didnt buyed in the time and I wish almost all of them.
Hi Mr Sebastian.. Welcome back.. Good day to you.. 😊👋🏻 I really excited about these video.. I don’t wear too much perfume back then.. I only wearing a perfume called Activist by Body Shop.. I really missed that perfume.. It’s been discontinued.. Hurmm 😞
Fantastic list. I can't be without my Insense and have gone through a few bottles since the mid '90's. It is getting harder to find, though! I also miss Gucci Envy, Gucci Pour Homme II, YSL M7 (the Tom Ford version), Dolce and Gabbana Pour Homme vintage formulation and the original Armani Eau Pour Homme.
I so miss LIDGEE! The current EDP is a ghost of its former self. It's not bad, but wearing it just makes me miss the original. If I were making a list like this, it would definitely include Paco Rabanne's Tenere.
Nice list. The fragrances I miss the most are: Versace Versus Uomo, Joop! What about Adam, Lagerfeld Jako, Gucci Envy, Dsquared Wild, Versace Black Jeans, Joop! Nightflight, Trussardi Python
Still have a few drops of Lanvin Avant Garde and i often put my nose with nostalgia in my 2010 Fahreneith, empty bottle for years but it still got scent left. Too bad that, back then i didn't anticipate a potential discontinuation ( sorry if it's not english i'm french) ^^'
This was great. There are vintage scents I want to get for reference. KL for women was notable to me as was Fendi. Would you say there are many similarities between his and hers of the KL? I wonder what are your thoughts on the Bijon scents? There are a lot of similarities between his/hers. I know you enjoy doing alike episodes I think current vs the vintage alikes would be great!
David yurman, original.. it's female fragrance. But, I LOVE it. Over all Niche, no matter the price.. this is tops. Getting VERY HARD TO Find AND very expensive. $200.
I am a vintage fragrance geek! Idk I feel like I need to rescue and preserve them all lol.... WAA is in my top 3 for life and is definitely my most favorite summer fragrance so beautiful and unique!
I am late to the Balenciaga perfume game, last year I rushed to different department store counters, a SA kindly told me the brand last year's strategy was to get rid of the whole perfume line, and where I could try my luck.
Back in the early 90s my uncle used to wear a cologne called Franco. I can't find anything about it. Is it part of Gianfranco?? To the best of my recollection it came in a dark green or maybe brown bottle. It smelled amazing, I have never forgot that scent through the years and never knew of anyone else to wear it. Can anyone please help with this??

I was feeling a bit down tonight but this video cheered me up a lot! Thank you so much for this video Sebastian. Cheers from Finland! 🇫🇮
Glad to hear it!
Karl Lagerfeld's Photo. My 90's signature scent. My wife loved it on me! Welcome back!
Hooray, you’re back! You were definitely missed. On the plus side I think I’ve watched every one of your archived videos now ☺️
My favorite vintage fragrances I wish they would bring back are vintage M7, Gucci Envy, Vintage A*Men, Vintage Rive Gauche and Antidote by V&R.
I regret I didn't sample Antidote when I had the possibility..
I’m lucky i still own them all
Wow what a throwback... I had 2 bottles of what about Adam.. I loved it so much 💓💓💓

I love when you do the value/vintage-what a treat!!!!
What a great list Seb. I would only add vintage M7 which I own, I have bought it 35€ 50ml, it is a great fragrance.

You did a top 20 French niche houses. A good one to do would be a top 20 middle eastern niche houses list.
Discontinued designer fragrances from the 90s and early 00s would be considered neiche fragrances today they were so good.
I've got B*Men a long time ago. ANGEL Thierry Mugler was my favourite fragrance in the 90s. I sprayed B*Men on a cotton ball and kept it in my bedroom for several days. I loved it. However, I would not apply it on myself - too masculine.

Gucci Envy
Oh yes! Wish I still had a bottle!!
Awesome review as usual sabastian keep the good scents up and wish to see you on another review about fragrances with beautiful scents and sure fairly performance
Will do!
although it’s nothing complicated I LOVE the original classic Armani Eau de Toilette particularly in the summer. It’s so classic and I still can’t believe that it’s gone disco ☹️ also Gucci Rush men great winter scent 😔😔
I actually need a bottle of that in it's current formulation! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy current formulation? Did Armani or Gucci reformulate these after they were discontinued?
I’ve got YSL Live Jazz and absolutely loved What about Adam, although not as much as the feminine targeted All about Eve. That is amazing.
I missed you very much!!! Glad to watch you today :)
Yes, I agree with the scent of tomatoe leaf. I planted couple tomatoes for my kids.
We missed you too much
Welcome back again....
😘
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances if I can find them and have a blessed day
Thank you! :)
You welcome keep up the good work
Great to see you back 👏🏻 , this week seemed too long ! 😉
:)
SO GLAD YOUR BACK👍🏾🎯💯🕊👌🏽🙏🏽
Thank you! :)
Sebastian, I forgot, I would also recommend to you to try two more Balenciaga HO HANG and HO HANG CLUB!
I think acier aluminium from creed deserved a mention, i also have rive gauche from 2003 and I love it
Oh I remember that one. I kept going back to it at Neimans. But one day it was completely gone! :(
Hi how are you? Very Good list! It is missing tsar, Gucci envy, joop nightlight, Calvin by Calvin Klein,dolce Gabbana masculine, Valentino V …..tnx 💪🏻
VC&A PH is so gothic and dark. I fell in love with it when I first smelled it. Another great men's vintage fragrance is Lapidus PH.
Yes I so agree re VC&A PH! Thankfully Lapidus PH is still sold and so inexpensive too! :)
The original Gucci Pour Homme , 1978 release not sure who the perfumer was but for some reason i thought it might be Guy Robert ? that was a great fragrance and i think even today it would smell great.
Great topic. VC&A is a personal favorite. Original Nino Cerutti (1979) discontinued in the 80s & the original Ungaro pourl'Homme (1991) are beautiful and hard to find.
Loved Insense and Iquitos
My all time favorite Pino Silvester cologne,terrible remastered 🥲the cologne with the brown top was amazing.
I'm really surprised you never mention Halston Catalyst. That was one of my favorite 1990's scents. It was eventually purchased by EA Fragrances and naturally reformulated into something not as complex. Other than that, I would add Lagerfeld Photo, Pierre Cardin Musk, Paul Sebastian VSOP and Coty's Raw Vanilla.
Very great Review.
I am at the Moment addicted to Vintage/oldscool Fragrances. So nice to see this Video now.
Coty was a very fantastic house.
Which Vintage shop do you mean?
Tsar van cleef & Arpels, versace men , noire ambre issey and pulse of the night , M7, mugler pure malt, Pure havane, tobacco reserve aramis.
Oh yes I wore the TSAR in 1993!!
Great video, you cover some fragrances I've never heard of. Carnation has become less used because its component, eugenol is now restricted to a lower percentage, I think it's the reason.
Look who's back! 😁 Hope you enjoyed your time off! You've been missed! 👍
Thanks! 😃
Monsieur Balmain actually goes back even earlier to its original formulation in 1964 by the great Germaine Cellier, one of the greatest parfumeurs of the twentieth century.
Lucky i still could get my hands on cheap 50ml dior Fahrenheit absolute
I love Francesco Smalto. Someday someyear, I found the Molto Smalto, another Fragance, but brown…
Calice Becker is the perfumer behind indigo smoke,my best blind buy of the year!👍
Carolina Herrera Aqua is one that was sadly discontinued and is my all time favourite. I think that not very popular in iits time, but was great and original aroma with awesome perfomance. I also think that biggest part of A*men flanker should be available again, cause I didnt buyed in the time and I wish almost all of them.
You are excellent in rating and explaining fragrances man.
Guerlain Corolian would be my addition to the list. Beautiful smell, great looking bottle.
Sadly I don't know this one too well! :(
Vintage bottles are becoming overly expensive unfortunately.
Hi Mr Sebastian.. Welcome back.. Good day to you.. 😊👋🏻 I really excited about these video.. I don’t wear too much perfume back then.. I only wearing a perfume called Activist by Body Shop.. I really missed that perfume.. It’s been discontinued.. Hurmm 😞
Pure tonka best discontinue.Make video BDK perfums pleaseeeee
DK Fuel for Men ugh miss this, so many compliments on that. Cool bottle too.
I want that DK Fuel. Too pricey of a vintage though.:(
I will have to find “Joint”. Thanks
Joint is so good!!
Versus was my signature scent in high school. I still love him, but the price is 🔥
Oh I can see this being a high school scent for many! :)
I guess carnation was like the ambroxan of its time. Very prevalent.
My gosh that Balenciaga Pour Homme presentation... Talk about 90s! 😝
Oh yes!! :)
Xerjoff casamorati 1888 has a prominent carnation note that id highly recommend! Greetings
OOH I'll have to check then!! :)
I still have B men it’s one of my fav frag ever
LOVE B*MEN!!
Fantastic list. I can't be without my Insense and have gone through a few bottles since the mid '90's. It is getting harder to find, though! I also miss Gucci Envy, Gucci Pour Homme II, YSL M7 (the Tom Ford version), Dolce and Gabbana Pour Homme vintage formulation and the original Armani Eau Pour Homme.
I miss Kouros Fraicheur and D&G Masculine.
Saludos Sebastian!
Sadly I didn't get to smell the Kouros Fraicheur. And re D&G Masculine yes love that one! :)
Van Cleef and Arpels Pour Homme is my fav. It's hefty. I recently pick up Passion for Men Cologne spray by Elizabeth Taylor and wow!
I so miss LIDGEE! The current EDP is a ghost of its former self. It's not bad, but wearing it just makes me miss the original.
If I were making a list like this, it would definitely include Paco Rabanne's Tenere.
I agree! :)
Nice list.
The fragrances I miss the most are: Versace Versus Uomo, Joop! What about Adam, Lagerfeld Jako, Gucci Envy, Dsquared Wild, Versace Black Jeans, Joop! Nightflight, Trussardi Python
Just when I thought I saw everything on your channel a gem pops up☺
I had Iquitos, IT was amazing Sebastián.
Oh yes so good! :)
Gucci pour homme
Gucci pour homme 2
Rive Gouche
All masterpieces
Oh yes!!
I owned a bottle of KL Homme also,and have found memories of the scent. The Michael Kors fragrance smells fantastic with a leather jacket.
Love the content
I've always been curious about Iquitos when I heard about it years ago as a Delon frag but I'm simply not willing to pay through the nose for it.
Great work Sebastian
Thank you! :)
Ummm..... Hello, Gucci RUSH maybe??? 😄
I don't have a bottle but I wore both Rush and Envy and loved them both very much!!! :)
Great, great, great list, Sebastian!!! Try one more, please, JEAN LUIS VERMEIL CASAQUE (1989). You will not be disappointed.
Great video. Now share with me how I get these without paying ransom.
Mind blown wow vbbj classic. Happy st patrics day
Still have a few drops of Lanvin Avant Garde and i often put my nose with nostalgia in my 2010 Fahreneith, empty bottle for years but it still got scent left. Too bad that, back then i didn't anticipate a potential discontinuation ( sorry if it's not english i'm french) ^^'
Oh bummer re a few drops of the Avant Garde! :(
This was great. There are vintage scents I want to get for reference. KL for women was notable to me as was Fendi. Would you say there are many similarities between his and hers of the KL? I wonder what are your thoughts on the Bijon scents? There are a lot of similarities between his/hers. I know you enjoy doing alike episodes I think current vs the vintage alikes would be great!
Gucci Envy was a favorite. Have been looking for a clone ever since it was discontinued.
Sadly I don’t own a bottle as I wore two bottles! I loved the stuff!!
Van Cleef & Arpels has been and still is my favorite men fragrance for at least 35 years.
Welcome back
Thank you for waiting! :)
Clearly YSL M7, Gucci Envy, Tom Ford Amber Absolute. I still have near complete bottles of the original LIDGE and Fahrenheit Absolute.
David yurman, original.. it's female fragrance. But, I LOVE it. Over all Niche, no matter the price.. this is tops. Getting VERY HARD TO Find AND very expensive. $200.
Fahrenheit Absolute is great with a different petrol accord. Roccobarrocco Joint is classy. I would like for Andromeda and Andron to reappear. 👍
my fav vinage-What About Adam,Kouros,Furyo,Tsar,Ceasar Legendary,Iquitos,Alain Delon Plus,Lagerfeld,Lagerfeld Homme KL
Insense by Givenchy is a masterpiece.
I agree soo good! :)
Ahhhh IQUITOS!!!! My love.
What About Adam and Cristobal - absolutely AGREE !!!!!
Yes!!!
My old faves: Escada Pour Homme. Calvin Klein(dark-almost black-blue bottle)
Oh yes the Escada Pour Homme!!
I am a vintage fragrance geek! Idk I feel like I need to rescue and preserve them all lol.... WAA is in my top 3 for life and is definitely my most favorite summer fragrance so beautiful and unique!
That's awesome!! :)
I am late to the Balenciaga perfume game, last year I rushed to different department store counters, a SA kindly told me the brand last year's strategy was to get rid of the whole perfume line, and where I could try my luck.
I wish I could find Halston Catalyst. The full gift set that was in the chemistry beaker set.
Oh yes me too!!
I love monsieur balmain
It's quite good isn't it?
There was a Calvin Klein in a dark navy blue bottle from the 80's and it still grinds me that they discontinued that one
I've been buying discontinued fragrances for the past year and a*men pure malt and pure havane are my favorite
Back in the early 90s my uncle used to wear a cologne called Franco. I can't find anything about it. Is it part of Gianfranco?? To the best of my recollection it came in a dark green or maybe brown bottle. It smelled amazing, I have never forgot that scent through the years and never knew of anyone else to wear it.

Escada Pour Homme.
So when is the anouncement video for your perfume line airing?
LOL I think you got some wrong information! 😀
Just bought B*men. Great stuff!!!
Where did you get it's. It's almost 20 years old. :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy a local store here in Trois-Rivières, Québec, Canada. They had 2. Found some gems in that store!!!
NICE!!
