    I've given this fragrance as a gift to a friend I was trying to get into fragrances and he became hooked after smelling this. It's so incredible, I personally love it, and that opinion seems to be shared by everyone I've had smell it.

    I couldn’t agree more with all of your sentiments, my friend. This one is an absolute killer that anyone should own if your tastes align. An absolute stunner; I have bought myself a back up bottle as well because I love it so much. Thank you for another fantastic video and great advice as always.

  • @ryujinzengen6053
    @ryujinzengen6053 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    Gentleman Reserve Privee is more or less my least favourite of the line (Im not counting Gentleman Society that I dislike), to me it smells quite similar to the EDP in the black bottle with less balsamic touches and vanilla, but with instead a blast of hazelnut that I don't love. I really tried to get that boozy whisky aspect people talk about and never really could, maybe one day. That being said I agree it's a remarkable fragrance that offers something bold, if you like Iris fragrances that go in a gourmand direction there arent many more that go beyond this, maybe Dior Homme Parfum and that's about it (if you manage to find a bottle at all) . Looking forward to wearing it a bit more in the cold seasons.

    George, thanks a lot for recommending Dior Homme 2011. I found a bottle (2018 batch) in a small local store for 140$ CAD, and it has quickly become my favorite fragrance and one that best suits my personality. I have already gotten compliments for it. Much love from Canada ❤

    @Memfys 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I had been interested in this fragrance for a long time, I could not test it in person, then I found it on sale and I bought it.
    It's good. I'm still not entirely sold on it, though. I find it very similar to all the Dior Hommes (Original, Intense, Parfum) which I all own (don't ask me why) and still prefer to this.
    However, I have yet to properly test it on skin. The season still hasn't started in Central Europe.
    Anyways, great video, the intro had me in stitches, love that shirt. Cheers from Czech republic.

    So crazy you uploaded this video , I’m currently wearing this , which I haven’t worn it in a few months , but man everytime I wear this I think man this is sooo fn good . I’m some ways I prefer it over Dior homme parfum . The undertone of whiskey in this fragrance really brings it all together beautifully. It’s nutty powdery slightly sweet with a beautiful boozyness to it . Masterpiece

    I have been hesitant for over a year to get this one. I did even had it in a basket once or twice.
    You got me mate. I was touched by the Guerlain 30 min video, I gave a sub and went to this video. I love DHP (have at least 6 new joints) so there is w chance I'll like this one.
    Anyway, regards from Warsaw!

    Of all the DHI-style Iris fragraces, this one is my favourite.
    For me, a lot of them fall off a cliff after the opening is gone.

  • @JerrelDSmith
    @JerrelDSmith 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hello,
    I love your channel & have learned so much from your videos. Because of your guidance, I have made several blind buys based on your reviews without disappointment or regrets. Though I haven't near the collection that you have, I'm proud to say that my fragrance count is around the 200 mark, with approximately 2/3 being designer & 1/3 being from Indy/Niche houses. I don't know what an apprentice to an Apprentice would be called, but that is who I am.
    I completely agree with your assessment of this fragrance & made the purchase when I first put it to my nose when contacted by my broker that she just got it in, though I would add that the opening not only is amazing & complex, but would add that it seems to have a "Whiskey Bite" that other similar boozy fragrances just don't have and as with whiskey, it mellows down to its mid & base notes but still maintains a slight lingering reminder that it is still a whisky fragrance.
    I apologize for not being able to understand what was said, but at the 10:00 mark you mentioned another whiskey fragrance that has a serious longevity that "you have to shower to get it off of you", could you tell me Who & What it is again?
    Thank you for the time, effort & knowledge that you put into your videos, it makes us (The Frag Community) smarter, better people & happy.
    Thank you,
    an apprentice to The Fragrance Apprentice

    @hassanjrt.9475 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    While I agree with almost everything you said, I think that this kind of scents benefit from being powerful, more projection and longer performance in general will turn it to a great masterpiece, this one in particular with DHP performance would make it sit in much higher place, as for now it leaves you wanting more and searching for it very early.
    Keep the good work.

    Gentleman Reserve Privee and Gentleman EDP happen to be two of my favorite frags in my collection. The only thing i like about winter, is being able to wear these frags again...
    Star Man Nebula by Fragrance World is a banger of a clone for Pure Malt if you haven't run across it. I own both, and it is uncanny how close it is, and it's cheap.

    • @lukaspriest
      @lukaspriest 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I just ordered a bottle of Star Man Nebula this past weekend for $20 on Amazon....can't wait to get it! I've never smelled the OG Pure Malt, but it seems to have achieved cult status in the fragrance community, so I decided to jump on it with the price being so inexpensive.

  • @jonstern7511
    @jonstern7511 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    My favourite of the line definitely but there's something a bit too synthetic about the range for me. That said I did buy a decant of this and haven't bought any of the others (except the different original Givenchy Gentleman) so do want to give it a chance and who knows I may end up loving it like you do. I don't feel my taste is that similar to yours (though I appreciate your appreciation of the amazing Taylor of old bond street sandalwood cologne) and instead I find Mr Smelly (sorry!) a much closer match for my taste, which tends to be classic gentlemanly. Anyway thanks for the video. I'll give this one more wearings!

    Perfectly timed, my bottle arrived this afternoon, it's honestly beyond good. Also, i recently picked up a sample of Akro Malt; it's a little out there, but I love it. I remember that video you did where you compared whiskys and frags. Akro Malt would have found its match with laphroaig. Super peated, seaweedy and mineralic with a sweet leather base. People seem to hate it, understandably so; it has this yeasty cask ale thing going on too, but honestly I couldn't recommend enough as a scotch lover!!
