I’m 49 and your channel has reignited my love for the classics....thanks for that. Just recently purchased Lapudis, Paco Robane pour homme, One Man Show and Kouros love them all.
Dude I've just started falling in your channel in the last week and I could just say thank. I am a collector myself I've been collecting for many years. I had dropped the hobby and then picked it backup. I aspire to be like you and many others fragments car mother's fragrance content creators. Peace and blessings and much success to the growth of your channel.
I’m so happy Paul Sebastian was on this list, man I love that fragrance! I think I want Arabian Nights next!! Your description made me want to have it now!!
Yeah PS is great especially for the cold, too bad you do not get the best performance but you can always apply more, and Arabian nights is very unique!
Great list. You have some interesting choices that I will have to check out. PS Fine Cologne is definitely a good choice. It is an underrated gem. Lapidus Pour Homme and Aramis are good choices also.
What a beautiful selection, i love your choices very classic and true to the point. I love paul sebastian but it never last on my skin which sucks. Keep it up brother
Thank you ! Glad you enjoyed the video, a few people have said that to me about PS performance but for me it lasts so long that’s strange. Thank you for watching and commenting Al!
My top 6 for winter ❄️ #1 Lanvin Avante Garde #2 CH Man Prive #3 Tsar #4 Thierry Mugler Pure Malt #5 CH Man #6 Bvulgari Man In Black Probably gonna buy a few from this list cuz your taste in scents is much closer to mine than most cologne reviewers. Love the classic, super masculine type fragrances
Great review, definitely will try some out. I tested Aramis Devin today and was blown out about the green pine opening, later in the drydown there's something animalic like in Kouros. Can't believe that i discover this green gem so late.
Yeah it has civet as a note, I have it but I really have not given it much wear at all I was initially not that impressed but I will have to try it again now that it’s cold weather, I got it over the summer. Thank you for watching and commenting dude
Nice choices with classic true masculine scents and Encre Noire ! You should do a review from that Bijan , I really appreciate you mention the forgotten powerhouses of the 80s . Speaking of which . I just bought un Homme by Charles Jourdan one of the first fougéres , wasn’t cheap but can’t wait to spray it haha ! Good top 10 , bro 😎
My cold fragrances: Versace L’Homme Issey Miyake L’Eau Bleue D’Issey Versace The Dreamer Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo Bvlgari Man Black Orient Guerlain Vetiver
Im currently 37 and im starting to phase out of the more youthful fragrances, i have specially developed a love for Fougere genre of fragrances and I’m definitely enjoying your channel.
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey yup. He was a huge fan of lavender scents. He mostly used puig agua lavanda, puig dry lavender, and yardley english lavender aftershave before it got discontinued.
I own Lalique Encre Noir Sport and this review really has me thinking about getting Encre Noir, I'm sorry to hear that you didn't like Lalique Pour Homme, I own a full 4.2 Oz bottle of EDT and liked it so much that I bought 2 full bottles of EDP since they're on clearance and I'm afraid there will be no more😂 It smells so manly and clean for me that I'm gonna wear it a lot this summer.
Great video Kellan. I don’t have any of those but my go to winter scents, Muglar Pure Havane, Oud Wood TF, Tabac Rouge by Phaedon to name few. Could you do a top 10 Tobacco list? Cheers 🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed, any scent on this list is great for the cold if you pick any of them up. I could do a tobacco list I am not sure I could fit 10 in it but I can certainly pick my favorites
Thanks for your excellent reviews. My recommendation for the colder weather is L' Anarchiste by Caron. Dry, woody, spicy, musky, with an unusual minty menthol note. It's a very distinctive fragrance, nothing else like it. Wonderful.
Any list with flagship Aramis (or Devin or 900) and PS by Paul Sebastian gets my endorsement. My favorite description of Aramis comes from an old TV ad: “for the established man.” Some of the lighter, sportier scents are my favorites for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice climbing, and other winter activities: Denim original, Clinique Chemistry, even Old Spice Pure Sport.
Wassup big K!!! Great list bro, wearing Tom Ford Oud wood as you mention the ML clone haha. I just got Cartier Santos in too, such a deep dark earthy masculine scent straight out of the 80’s. I get a spicy peppery accord too. Definitely getting MORE from the house I want to try Pasha Parfum and Declaration Parfum. And I agree with you on Anteaus and Eqoiste too Chanels’ best right there
You gotta try mojo and see if you think it’s close to oud wood ! Santos is amazing and same with Chanel’s Egoiste and Antaeus but I’d say Egoiste is my favorite from the house! Hope you are well thank you for watching as always dude!
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey lol bro I told a couple of my friends down in Florida about The Man Silver cause it’s super cheap if they want the BEST kouros clone and don’t wanna shell out $50 for Kouros. I will have to pick up a bottle of that. You’re welcome man I always watch your videos, one of the few who shoot straight and keep it real. I also picked up American blend after shave along with a few others, been into heavy classic masculine fougeres and aftershaves. Some great stuff from PAA, and Derby CIty Chop Shop, their bay rum small batch with bourbon in it. I’m also thinking of picking up Duc De Vervins Extreme too. So many lol
Hi Kelan, great list with strong performer, but I'm missing Egoiste on it. Egoiste, with its cinnamon and cherry notes and stellar performance, is my winter/Christmas go-to. If you like Antaeus, you my like Trumper's Eucris as well, it is Antaeus without the beaver urine metabolites (aka castoreum). ;-) BR, Dan.
Egoiste was the final scent in my fall list, it could have easily been on this one too but I wanted to bring in Antaeus but Egoiste is my favorite from the house that I have tried it’s so good
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Yes, Egoiste is an absolute masterpiece and maybe THE best designer of all time. An absolute shame that CHANEL stopped every additional Egoiste product and now only offers the 100 ml EdT and the deo stick - if the idiots from CHANEL don't stop this one as well.
I love Paul Sebastian, I was first introduced to it in 1995 as a senior in high school it was a gift from my Tia. I’m now 45 and have used it off and on throughout these years, different bottles of course. I was under the impression that this was a cold weather fragrance also until I went up to Flagstaff Arizona in December and it could not hold its weight in the cold air. Paul Sebastian is usually a strong fragrance and I couldn’t smell a damn thing. Kind of made me sad because I love the smell and wanted to stand out from the crowd. Nonetheless I still rock the shit out of this fragrance! Thanks Tia!
Some true classic powerhouse unapologetically masculine selections ideal for cold temps. None could even remotely be considered unisex. Just the way I like it. 👍🏻
Nice list , I recently got some vintage Antaeus and it’s become my favorite find of 2020 . I have 7/10 here so I can agree on most these ... interested to try the Cigar frag ! Look into Arrogance pour homme ... you might like 👍
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey , arrogance ph .. is like a mix between kouros & Antaeus... a bit greener but I’m preferring it over Kouros ... that I know sounds insane
I enjoy your reviews. I don't think Zino sucks though. Have you ever tried Loewe Esencia? It"s a green fragrance from Spain that"s great on cold winter days.
Thumbs up for Arabian Nights. That stuff is bad-ass. I was actually just wearing BlackSoul Imperial from Lapidus yesterday and marvelling at the performance. I've had that bottle for almost two years now and swear it's gotten stronger. Very smooth and spicy leather bubblegum. Similar in feel to Le Male, but it's the guy who lives in the alley, chews bubblegum, wears a leather jacket who beats UP Le Male. 😂 Rowdy Roddy Piper. "I have come here....to chew bubblegum and kick ass."
*I've been wearing Paul Sebastian since the early 1980's. It was strong then and somehow, even though it was an oakmoss bomb, it's still strong today. As strong as it is, I think it's still classified as a cologne! The aftershave is pretty strong, too. Someone once described Paul Sebastian as Old Spice on steroids! What's unusual is that EA Fragrances owns it and they're known for weakening the classic scents they buy. However, what happened here is that French Fragrances bought Paul Sebastian about 30 years ago and that rolled into EA Fragrances, so they probably never changed the formula other than to tweak it for IFRA rulings. Amazingly enough, it's one of few classics left you will still find at Macy's:* www.macys.com/shop/makeup-and-perfume/paul-sebastian-cologne?id=55202 *Paul Sebastian released another really classy barber shop scent called V.S.O.P that was probably discontinued before you were born! Here's what I still have left:* imgur.com/a/NhVq80t You're correct about Bijan. Nice cheapie and an all day affair. Some other quick takes: Ted Lapidus Pour Homme - a little dated but a powerhouse that I still throw on for casual wear Remy Latour Cigar - Cuba Red is a cheap clone. I have both but prefer Remy Latour Cigar Black Oud which some Fragrantica reviewers compare to Musc Ravageur. Aramis - I graduated to Aramis from English Leather in my junior year of college. I also had the Aramis shampoo and conditioner. It was really strong back then and I must have reeked of Aramis when I walked into class! I still love it and all its flankers today. Another one of the classics still sold by Macy's. The scent that made clary sage famous! Encre Noir - the whole trio is great with Extreme and Sport. Remember, it's only $25 because we know about the discounters. The houses intend for these fragances to sell for alot more! It's really $125 for a 100 ml bottle: www.lalique.com/en/catalog/perfumes/men/encre-noire/encre-noire-eau-de-toilette/100-ml-33-fl-oz
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey You should have seen the gorgeous, green eyed blond I sat next to in Business Law class when I was reeking of Aramis! It was about 42 years ago and I still remember her walk to this day. If only The One EdP were as strong. I bought a bottle from Macy's a week or so ago and have to return it. I've never purchased an expensive edp that's this weak.
the only thing i love about winter in new york is that i can wear polo green all the time haha. most of the year i wear the same kinds of scents that you cover, but ill change it up a little in winter and throw some sweetness in the mix here and there. fahrenheit parfum, gucci envy, la nuit de lhomme, vintage burberry london, ect
For 17$ for that gift set you can’t beat it, it’s a great daily scent, I could see that money scent comparison actually lol thank you for watching and commenting dude !
Hey, in your opinion between paul sebastian and sung homme which has better performance and which has gotten you more compliments. Also when did you get Paul sebastian?
They both last a very long time, id pick sung Homme personally because I like the scent better. They both are great masculine scents. I got paul sensation about two and a half years ago
Thanks for the support as always ! You know I tried it in a store once and I don’t really recall how it was, ive heard it’s got a thick sweetness so I’m not sure how I would feel about it, what do you think ?
Do you mean the newer on e from Aramis? It’s nice. It does have a sweetness to it, but it’s not a sweet fragrance if that makes sense. I have 18.21 Sweet Spirits Tobacco. That is sweet whereas Aramis TR has a fresh spiciness to it that takes away some of the sweetness, or balances it to pull it away from the sweet end of the spectrum. TR is a nice take on tobacco. Kellan-- great list you put together here sir.
I've been passing off the Remy Latour Cigar for quite sometime now despite it being readily available in my city. I'll try to get it now. What's its longevity and how's the tobacco note in it? How long does tobacco last? Can it be worn year around?
It’s great I mentioned the performance is awesome, it’s so cheap and I think it’s best for cool months obviously, the tobacco is there but it’s not a super strong tobacco note since it has fruit mixed in, definitely pick this one up and let me know what you think
I just got Aramis a few days ago, and the opening smells like Big Red cinnamon gum, then dries down to like a weaker version of Pinaud Clubman aftershave, very powdery. I got the same opening with Sung Homme. Maybe the Sung Homme, and Aramis I got were dud bottles. Definitely don't wanna smell like cinnamon gum and baby 🍼 powder.I mean I like those scents but not when I'm looking for a classic masculine cologne to wear.
I have not come across anything like it, I blind bought it and I love it, look on eBay you can get them for like 35-40. I think it’s worth it the scent is awesome for cold weather and evening wear very masculine
Unfortunately I did not like Ted lapidus because everyone just used it at the time and I hate the bottle . On the other hand, my father’s friend brought the Bijan from America on the 80’s and I wanted it so badly. I remember being really jealous, tnx bro
That’s to bad about Lapidus but I can understand someone not liking it, the bottle is awesome though I think. Bijan is amazing too It’s perfect for the cold. Hope you are well Asaf!
here in your list, there are two fragrances although they are great colognes, they didn't go the way I wanted when I used them; the LAPIDUS POUR HOMME is a great and super powerful-strong fragrance, too much for me, although I love to smell it on somebody else, in my skin, this fragrance gets crazy and practically chocks everybody around me (including me), even though the scent is awesome and masculine but it gets too much for my taste; CIGAR(Remmy Latour) when I use it, has no projection, sillage and the longevity I can get is 1 hour, so it was a total waste of money; it's a real pity as I really like these two fragrances but on my skin, they work no exactly the way I like. ARAMIS for the contrary is the perfect one for me; it's one of the fragrances I have chosen as permanent (daily use and any occasion) along with YATAGAN, QUORUM, BOGART(signature), AGUA BRAVA and BRUMMEL, these 6 fragrances have turned to be the ones I've decided to keep and wear all the time. but if the money situation forces me to cut down, then I will keep ARAMIS(original), QUORUM and AGUA BRAVA as the ones that I will always wear and buy.
sorry to hear they did not work out for you, i love bogart and yatagan and i have more recently been enjoying my vintage quorum bottle and its matching aftershave. thank you for watching and commenting
I love encre noir original but I have not tried sport yet but I plan on buying it, price is great and I’m sure it’s a quality scent. Do you have it ? How is it
Kouros is much better first off but they both have very musky strong notes, share honey as a note but kouros is better quality and I would wear it all year round whereas Lapidus is best in the cold
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Encre Noire Sport is an awesome scent too, it’s a more wearable scent compared to the other Encre Noires, citrusy at the top but still having that signature vetiver at the bottom. Cheap too! People love it on me.
Bijan Man doesn't have many fans. The guy opened a huge shop in Beverly Hills in the 80s and sold his overpriced clothes and perfumes to rich celebs. I'm not so sure of the pedigree.
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Thanks for the superfast reply. It’s great to find some cheaper old school fragrances. I’m still looking for a cheap, but good everyday fragrance. Giorgio Beverly Hills was suggested by many people, but it’s not for the summer at all. The patchouli is so strong, even with 2-3 sprays it lasts a really long time.
I’m 49 and your channel has reignited my love for the classics....thanks for that. Just recently purchased Lapudis, Paco Robane pour homme, One Man Show and Kouros love them all.

It’s one of the greats for sure and a great price ! Thank you for watching and commenting
Aramis and Antaeus are among my most significant scents attached to personal events. Greetings from the good old Spain.
There you are! 👍Loved the list 👍💯
Thank you for the support as always bro!
Great list. You have some interesting choices that I will have to check out. PS Fine Cologne is definitely a good choice. It is an underrated gem. Lapidus Pour Homme and Aramis are good choices also.
All very strong for the cold weather ! Thank you for watching Doug !

Thanks so much for the kind words I’m glad you enjoy the videos !
You are spot on! I bought a huge bottle and it smells fantastic! Paul Sebastian that is!
Great review, definitely will try some out. I tested Aramis Devin today and was blown out about the green pine opening, later in the drydown there's something animalic like in Kouros. Can't believe that i discover this green gem so late.

It’s the best in the winter time ! Really enjoying it this season
I bought Cigar about three months ago. It's now my daily work fragrance. Call me crazy but the dry down kinda smells like money.
For 17$ for that gift set you can’t beat it, it’s a great daily scent, I could see that money scent comparison actually lol thank you for watching and commenting dude !
i completely agree that smells like money ! though it doesnt project well
Hey, in your opinion between paul sebastian and sung homme which has better performance and which has gotten you more compliments.
Also when did you get Paul sebastian?
They both last a very long time, id pick sung Homme personally because I like the scent better. They both are great masculine scents. I got paul sensation about two and a half years ago
Bro you gotta try CARON LE 3 HOMME DE CARON so good very vintage barbershop 👌 fragrance
I have a 5ml decant of it I got from mcbag and it’s really nice
I love it my uncle Pasquale weres it all the time my mothers brother definitely reminds of old-school guys from 18th Ave in Brooklyn
Welcome to the channel Aramis!
I know you have been waiting a while, I want to do a full review on it too!
I enjoy your enthusiasm, I hope you'll stick to it
Thank you for watching im glad you enjoy !
Great list, Kellan! Speaking of Aramis... what are your thoughts on Tobacco Reserve?
Thanks for the support as always ! You know I tried it in a store once and I don’t really recall how it was, ive heard it’s got a thick sweetness so I’m not sure how I would feel about it, what do you think ?
Do you mean the newer on e from Aramis? It’s nice. It does have a sweetness to it, but it’s not a sweet fragrance if that makes sense. I have 18.21 Sweet Spirits Tobacco. That is sweet whereas Aramis TR has a fresh spiciness to it that takes away some of the sweetness, or balances it to pull it away from the sweet end of the spectrum. TR is a nice take on tobacco.
Kellan-- great list you put together here sir.
@@jean-luc6158 that’s good to know I am more interested in it now
@@jean-luc6158 Thanks for your insights... I will give it a try!
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Been looking at it a while but haven't tried it yet... was hoping maybe you had.
Would you still enjoy encre noire nowadays or have you moved on from it?
I've been passing off the Remy Latour Cigar for quite sometime now despite it being readily available in my city. I'll try to get it now.
What's its longevity and how's the tobacco note in it?
How long does tobacco last?
Can it be worn year around?
It’s great I mentioned the performance is awesome, it’s so cheap and I think it’s best for cool months obviously, the tobacco is there but it’s not a super strong tobacco note since it has fruit mixed in, definitely pick this one up and let me know what you think
You can also go to eBay and get Aramis Concentree right now. Excellent!
i have not tired that one
I also love Arabian Nights. *brofist*
It’s awesome this is the best and only time of year to wear it lol
are these current formulations (as of the time of video) or vintage?
I just got Aramis a few days ago, and the opening smells like Big Red cinnamon gum, then dries down to like a weaker version of Pinaud Clubman aftershave, very powdery. I got the same opening with Sung Homme. Maybe the Sung Homme, and Aramis I got were dud bottles. Definitely don't wanna smell like cinnamon gum and baby 🍼 powder.I mean I like those scents but not when I'm looking for a classic masculine cologne to wear.
your video made me buy a remy latour cigar !
That’s awesome dude I hope you enjoy it ! Please keep me posted
what do you think cartier santos is similar to? worth a blind buy?
I have not come across anything like it, I blind bought it and I love it, look on eBay you can get them for like 35-40. I think it’s worth it the scent is awesome for cold weather and evening wear very masculine
Have you tried other CIGAR fragrances?
I have not, just the original one I had in this video. Haven’t worn it much since then either lol.
Unfortunately I did not like Ted lapidus because everyone just used it at the time and I hate the bottle . On the other hand, my father’s friend brought the Bijan from America on the 80’s and I wanted it so badly. I remember being really jealous, tnx bro
That’s to bad about Lapidus but I can understand someone not liking it, the bottle is awesome though I think. Bijan is amazing too It’s perfect for the cold. Hope you are well Asaf!
here in your list, there are two fragrances although they are great colognes, they didn't go the way I wanted when I used them; the LAPIDUS POUR HOMME is a great and super powerful-strong fragrance, too much for me, although I love to smell it on somebody else, in my skin, this fragrance gets crazy and practically chocks everybody around me (including me), even though the scent is awesome and masculine but it gets too much for my taste; CIGAR(Remmy Latour) when I use it, has no projection, sillage and the longevity I can get is 1 hour, so it was a total waste of money; it's a real pity as I really like these two fragrances but on my skin, they work no exactly the way I like.
ARAMIS for the contrary is the perfect one for me; it's one of the fragrances I have chosen as permanent (daily use and any occasion) along with YATAGAN, QUORUM, BOGART(signature), AGUA BRAVA and BRUMMEL, these 6 fragrances have turned to be the ones I've decided to keep and wear all the time.
but if the money situation forces me to cut down, then I will keep ARAMIS(original), QUORUM and AGUA BRAVA as the ones that I will always wear and buy.
sorry to hear they did not work out for you, i love bogart and yatagan and i have more recently been enjoying my vintage quorum bottle and its matching aftershave. thank you for watching and commenting
What ever happened to 'Fleur du Male', by Jean Paul Gautier? It was fab and there's no trace of it anymore.
I’m pretty sure it was discontinued a while back, sadly
Still on ebay for a decent price
Cejar wood remy Latour We want to review it...... Please
Beard looking clean, is that your 5 o'clock shadow? Lol damn, my beard is patchy until like 3-4 weeks in lol
That was about 1 week I’d say, I’ll let it grow a little bit in the winter time but never really long
Man I love this channel lol. My kinda shit.
Haha glad to hear man ! Thank you for watching and commenting as always !
Lapidus is my SOTD.
One of the greats !
Great review pal! What is your opinion on Lalique Encre noire sport??????
I love encre noir original but I have not tried sport yet but I plan on buying it, price is great and I’m sure it’s a quality scent. Do you have it ? How is it
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey It's good rather quite decent. It's probably good for 30+ people with some grey matter and I.Q😇
Do a review of cartier de santos please edt ? 🙂
What is Lapidus like in contrast of Kouros?
Kouros is much better first off but they both have very musky strong notes, share honey as a note but kouros is better quality and I would wear it all year round whereas Lapidus is best in the cold
I got the whole Encre Noire line of fragrances and i must say The Al’Extreme version is much better than the original Encre Noire!
How is sport ? I was interested in that one
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Encre Noire Sport is an awesome scent too, it’s a more wearable scent compared to the other Encre Noires, citrusy at the top but still having that signature vetiver at the bottom. Cheap too! People love it on me.
P.S. Fine is just that, it is fine
So you are just so so on it? Or do you like it ?
I love it !
Aramis to me says I don’t give a shite what you think. I am my own man. It’s something I could see Clint Eastwood wearing.
Haha it’s absolutely a bad ass strong AF scent that will assault people’s nose
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey I couldn’t have said it better 👍😂
@@snortchgortch4253 lol I was going to say I love ps fine cologne
The dry-down of current Santos is all coconut cream to my nose. Pity because I like the opening.
It’s a decent scent I need to wear it more
Etsy store - ELEMENTMASK has niche fragrances for $70
Good to know! Thank you for watching and commenting
I had a bottle of Bijan for about 15 bucks,but did not like it. Very strong(more than Kouros) and synthetic smell.
It is certainly very strong lol thank you for watching and commenting dude!
still impatiently waiting for Guerlain Vetiver and Antaeus in the mail. Maybe today. I hope.
You’ll get them don’t worry lol
actually leaving now to hit the store, then post office on way back. take care.
i read somewhere that sylvester stallone used to wear bijan
Thats funny because I read that it was Arnold that wore this one lol a
I have bijan man and the bottle looks the same. Is that bijan man or is there another called bijan pour homme?
Bijan Man doesn't have many fans. The guy opened a huge shop in Beverly Hills in the 80s and sold his overpriced clothes and perfumes to rich celebs. I'm not so sure of the pedigree.
It’s really strong and a good cheap scent
3 years later you say Aramis is one of the worst & and it stinks
Yeah I wanted to like it since it is a classic but after 3 years of occasionally trying to enjoy it I never really did
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Thanks for the superfast reply. It’s great to find some cheaper old school fragrances. I’m still looking for a cheap, but good everyday fragrance. Giorgio Beverly Hills was suggested by many people, but it’s not for the summer at all. The patchouli is so strong, even with 2-3 sprays it lasts a really long time.
Sorry Kelan, i thought i was being funny. Love your stuff. Please delete after reading
I read it in the notifications but now it’s gone lol I found it funny ! Thanks dude
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey No problem, all the best bro 👍🏼
Whatever you wife likes
