Hey, I'm a loyal subscriber, You have really good content which I enjoy With regards to Issey Miyake what in you're opinion is the better of the two. Nuit d issey pulse of the night Or Nuit d issey ambre noir Keep up the great work 😊 Greetings from the uk🏴👍🏾
Hey back, Thanks ,glad your on board. I think Pulse of the night is a good powdery fragrance, but Noir Ambre is still better. Its hard to find though. Just like OR ENCENS. I'm out of Noir Ambre 😩
I've put the Racing bottle on my To Buy list primarily b/c I think the bottle looks so cool. (I'm a little embarassed to say that, but it's true. :) Also, in response to a comment below, I don't think you have to look "excited". You present the material in a grounded, approachable, intelligent way, with an obvious love for the olafactory world, and I think that contributes greatly to your appeal. You have a grounded and personable quality. For the record, a few days ago, I was looking up 'vetiver' or something and so a number of videos came up from a number of scent channels including a guy who had... I think about 120K subs. I thought, 'wow, that's a lot of subs for a scent channel' (this is a pretty niche thing after all), but then when I looked at his view counts, (I had your channel open in a different tab) - they were... almost identical to yours. Some were higher, some lower... Overall, I would guess he had maybe 5% more views than you did - if that. It seem like your subs stick around and come back for more. Thanks for the fine work!
Don’t have any Dunhill fragrances but hearing more about them. I like the look the of the black bottle but probably wouldn’t like the fragrance. It frustrates me when designers put freshies in dark bottles. It’s like a betrayal of trust lol
I really like your channel, your background is good, you speak very clearly, explain easy. I'm subscribe right now!!! i´m from Brazil and wish success!!!
First time checking out your videos, nice job. I have the original Icon on order and should receive it shortly. I bought the original Dunhill for Men (the classic blend) in the late 70's and still wear it today. It has an interesting petrol smell to it and I find it intoxicating. I also own Edition by Dunhill and love it as well. I'll be eying the Absolute if I like the original. Thanks for the review!
I've only got one of these dunhill icon racing it was one I'd heard some hype about and it was cheap i think i paid £35 UK pounds and i like it although I've not worn it that often just because I've got better fragrances, but for the price it's a very good one, i recently got it out again and wore it over a year after I'd brought it and its still nice however it did smell a bit too synthetic i think mainly because I've been wearing stuff by chanel and dior recently and it definitely has a noticeably less quality than them but it's to be expected considering its a fraction of the price of those brands, I'd still say for a cheapie it's good quality as there's way worse at that price tag I've read many say the opening of icon racing was sour but i found the opening the nicest part personally and it did perform ok about 5 hours on skin and stayed on my clothes longer, not a big projection on me but i don't mind fragrances sitting closer to the skin i thought it was a decent work fragrance which is where i like to test fragrances out, i work in a busy factory and i get hot lifting heavy and moving around all shift its ideal to test any fragrance performing, not so much for others reaction but for myself if i can pick up whiffs of a fragrance and I'm 7 hours into a shift that's a good performer and if i can only pick up whiffs for the first hour then that's a poor performer lol icon racing was in the middle pretty much about 5 hours i was still picking up whiffs so for only £35 that's decent and worth it I'm happy with that
Well I got my bottle of icon in today. I'm still in the evaluation process but so far I have to say it is a very very low-key fragrance. It's not at all boisterous or overbearing and that can be a good thing and a bad thing. So far after a woman wearing I'm ambivalent. But I have noticed in my fragrance journey that the first few times I wear a fragrance I may not like it but the more I wear it the more I grow accustomed to it. Overall it just seems kind of weak to me. Perhaps I got a bad batch something like that but it's hard to make a judgment in the first three or four wearings. So on with the testing! I do love the overall smell of it though it is nice I just it had a little more chutz·pah as my Jewish friend would say lol! I did get the Zino that stuff is a monster especially considering it's an EDT
Hi Peter, can you help me decide between Cerritos 1881, and Dunhill icon ? I haven’t smelled either. I’m really looking for a cooling lavender fragrance that won’t be too expensive. I know these two aren’t known for that, but I don’t like powdery notes or sweet colognes, and was hoping for a suggestion. Thanks for the great content!
Cerruti 1881 is a old school classic many people like. It is available for a stellar price. Icon the silver one by Dunhill is a More contemporary scent with the past on mind .I quite like it . It is, however, a bit more money, and it is harder to find. I hope this helps. Thanks for being part of ScentTrail 👊
I had one perfume, called OPEN (french). I miss. That fragrance will touch you if you are 3-5 miters away. Fragrance remains in a one Month old pack of your cloths.
Hi sir. I'm new to your channel. And was thinking of buying dunhill icon cologne/original. Could you please help me know if its good to buy in 2023?? Has it been reformulated?? Any better suggestion in that same price range?
Hi, Icon from dunhill is a good fragrance and often available at a good price. However, I do think it leans to the mature side since it isn't sweet. Most young people like some sweetness in their fragrance 😉Just a thought👊
@@ScentTrail Thank you sir!! I tried this at an outlet and was impressed with the scent profile!! I'm getting this at a good discount. So, it feels tempting to me.. 😂😂 Only thing I experienced was the longevity of this as average to above avg performance. Don't wish the newer batches to be reformulated😅
I'd go with the Icon Original or the absolute. The Golden One. It has some oud if you are into a woody smell. The save bet is the original (silver one) ,most people's favorite. Hope I was able to help! Thanks for watching 🙌
I would enjoy the content more IF the gentleman would seem a little more excited/enthused about the product that he’s describing. It doesn’t &/or sound like he’s enjoying what he’s doing & he’s just going through the motions. Honestly, I’m nodding out over here/falling asleep. (Sincerely) “No Disrespect inteded.” P.S. I’ve seen other videos by this gentleman that I enjoyed. Note: He does sound knowledgeable and obviously knows what he’s talking about, but I don’t want to have to speed up the videos to liven things up abit !!! “Jusayin”
I appreciate your polite approach. As I watch my older videos, I understand your observations, and I agree. As I move along, it feels more comfortable in front of a camera, and I'm learning more and more about this TH-cam business. lol I truly respect your time and am striving to provide more entertainment and above all value. Thanks for watching 🙌
@@ScentTrail It has always been a pleasure (for ME) to observe, listen to and learn from knowledgeable, informative, (classy & very stylish) individuals who keep it simple. I do like the laid back , smooth approach. I know it’s not easy to do what you do, so “much admiration.” Trust me, I will continue watching & enjoying your content & presentation. Lastly, “Thank You” for not taking the (previous) comment the wrong way, because it was “NOT” meant to be taken that way. 👊🏽
Sorry to hear that Benny, I think my Icon is from 2016 . Unfortunately they do weaken the fragrances over time. It has happened to me as well. I've bought fragrances a few years older for that reason only to find out the top notes have gone bad.😢 Either way ,I feel for you. Guess we sometimes win and sometimes lose. Chin up and on to the next fragrance 🤪👊
You're quickly becoming one of my favorite fragrance reviewers.
That's nice ,thank you Kamil.
IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME ON SCENT TRAIL .I WANT TO WELCOME YOU AND IF YOU ARE BACK IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. HAVE FUN AND SMELL NICE!CHEERS PETER
Hey,
I'm a loyal subscriber,
You have really good content which I enjoy
With regards to Issey Miyake what in you're opinion is the better of the two.
Nuit d issey pulse of the night
Or
Nuit d issey ambre noir
Keep up the great work 😊
Greetings from the uk🏴👍🏾
Hey back,
Thanks ,glad your on board.
I think Pulse of the night is a good powdery fragrance, but Noir Ambre is still better. Its hard to find though. Just like OR ENCENS.
I'm out of Noir Ambre 😩
One of my favourite lines. I would rank the line as following: Icon, Elite, Absolute, Racing
I've put the Racing bottle on my To Buy list primarily b/c I think the bottle looks so cool. (I'm a little embarassed to say that, but it's true. :)

Don’t have any Dunhill fragrances but hearing more about them. I like the look the of the black bottle but probably wouldn’t like the fragrance. It frustrates me when designers put freshies in dark bottles. It’s like a betrayal of trust lol
True,lol. The black one is my least favorite.
The best presentation of Dunhill I seen and I will be buying the first two the silver and gold thank you 👍🏾
Thanks Charles ,very nice of you. 👍
You're currently my favourite reviewer along with gents scents and redolessence.
That's very nice of you.
I like those Guys too.🌞
Your one of the great looking guys and a nice attitude gentleman good luck sir for more success in your life much love ❤️😉

My favorite, prefer silver to elite. FYI the dunhill logo on the top of the bottle tends to fall off or fade after a bit of traveling
Hi Alister, thanks for the tip.
That's to bad I really like the way it looks.
👍

nice.i love dunhill icon absolote.👍👍👍
What are your reviews on the performance??
6 to 8 hrs.
Good to have you with us.👍
I had one perfume, called OPEN (french). I miss. That fragrance will touch you if you are 3-5 miters away. Fragrance remains in a one Month old pack of your cloths.
That's a classic from the 80s Roger and Gallet .
Smells a lot like Havana from Aramis. Powerful perfumer.
Thanks for watching ✌️
The texture on the bottle is called knurling
That's awesome 👌 thanks 👍

Great video,, aroma from heaven
Thanks 😊
Which is best for party and some other occasion like wedding?
I'd go with the Icon Original or the absolute. The Golden One.
It has some oud if you are into a woody smell.
The save bet is the original (silver one) ,most people's favorite. Hope I was able to help!
Thanks for watching 🙌
Absolute scent profile is very good, but unfortunately have poor performance issues, personally I would not recommend it to anyone.
I have full bottles of Icon and Icon Racing.
Icon for office
Icon Racing for evening and clubbing
Good choices 👌
It is called British racing green
Thanks for clearing that up .Thank you for watching ☺️
Could you please tell me which dunhill and diptique layers smells good???which i can mix ???
Hi, Currently I don't have any Diptique. Thanks for watching 🙌
Wow. Didn't know Robert de Niro was reviewing perfumes.
😎 thanks 👍
I brought the black one by mistake instead of the green. The black one is boring and doesent change after a hour or so. Not worth it. Its crap.
Dang..Mohammed .
I warned about this in the video.
They look the same online.
Same thing happened to me.😩
Edp!??had a sample of Racing and didn't last more than a few hrs
Thanks for watching ✌️

Whats the longevity of absolute icon?
Unfortunately 4 to 6 hrs is it. Projection is also medium. 😩
@@ScentTrail o noooo ...ok any thing same like this having enormous longevity and projection?
Bentley for men absolute, the all black bottle is in the same price range and lasts longer. Also smell similar. 😉
@@ScentTrail thanks sir ....
Which dunhill is best in one of these
which is best between Icon (silver) and Icon absolute (Gold)?
Silver for daytime and Gold for evenings.
If you only want to get one than I'd get the Silver one. IMHO.
😉
Bro what shampoo do you use lol😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 nics right?
Lucky to have hair.👊
Which one is the best?
My favorite is the Silver Icon😉
No reviewer opens these icon bottles correctly. They are magnetic. Twist the lid as you lift - it comes off easily.
Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out. 👍
I looked at the bottles last night, sorry, mine are all snap ones.
Smells like 4711.
Which one? Thanks for watching ✌️
The Icon is in my nose the same as The 4711 eau de cologne.
In the mid 90s I had Jaguar that was British Racing Green soooo...
I drove a Datsun 280Z 2+2 ,also in green. Thanks for watching 🙌
I have Dunhill Icon 2020 version and it sucks, doesn't last, doesn't project, I've bought it for 60$ and it's my worst purchase I've ever made
Sorry to hear that Benny,
I think my Icon is from 2016 .
Unfortunately they do weaken the fragrances over time.
It has happened to me as well.
I've bought fragrances a few years older for that reason only to find out the top notes have gone bad.😢
Either way ,I feel for you.
Guess we sometimes win and sometimes lose.
Chin up and on to the next fragrance 🤪👊
Age 30+.... 20's mature..nah!
Lol,I know right.
