Hi there Lanier!! What an honour to be introduced by yourself in such a nice way! Thanks a million! I was also moved by the nice comments below, thanks so much everyone, it means a lot to me!! Lanier, its a beautiful review on Samourai and yes, Christine Nagel is the nose on this one! My Delon mania is still going strong since around 1985 and Iam going to do new, individual Delon reviews soon (AD, AD Plus, Iquitos, Samourai, Samourai 47, Samourai Katana, Shogun and also Lyra 3.). I also seen him live on stage last year in Theatre with his daughter in Brussels and recently acquired a tie that has been won by the man himself. Merci & Allez Lanier!!!!!!
Monsieur Chris thank You so very much. It was my pleasure to talk about your great reviews (I am still watching the ones I have not seen yet) How exciting that you will be doing all the Delon Perfumes. I can hardly wait to see them, but alas one has to wait and the anticipation is delicious. What a thrill to see him on stage and then the icing on the cake ...to have one of his ties. You MUST wear it in one of your reviews. Cheers and adieu mon ami
What a treat, I just got home from the gym to find a new Lanier video. Now drinking a nice cup of tea, thawing out from the snow outside and enjoying your vid. Beautiful review as always, and thanks for Scent Land's link.
The photograph at the beginning was beautiful. I used to watch Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers when I was a child. Your review was most excellent and sharing a fellow youtuber's link was very kind of you. Thumbs up my friend.
Great articulate review, Sir. Thanks for recommending me Chris channel. Just subscribed to it. Still remember the original Alain Delon with the Chanel Egoiste like bottle design and Egoiste like black squared cap though with AD written in red letters. Was my signature frag at age 13 and 14 ;-) Cheers from Claus
Claus! How wonderful that I brought back your great Alain Delon fragrance memroies. So happy about that and that you have subscribed to Chris's channel. It is really great. He knows his eau de toilettes and perfums.
Hello sir, Thank you for the video. I have recently gained an interest in Fragrances, and I live in Japan. I happen to see the Samourai colognes a lot here and wondered how they were but not a lot of content regarding them on the internet!
i never even knew there were alain delon fragrances ... i love that shade of blue in the bottle,but your asides lanier, are what make this such worthwhile listening and viewing...from you i'll gain a deeper insight into perfume along with a host of other things..from art to the philisophical,all offered up in a most rounded understated way. we love you.
Mary I blush and bow in deepest gratitude. Coming from such a talented wordsmith and singer as you... well I am very touched. Much Love and a big hug from Babylon by the Bay.
Awesome review.i know absolutely nothing about this house or fragrance.......but it does sound interesting and really enjoyed hearing your thoughts.thank you!!!
great review sir,and really intresting.i saw these fragrence here in my town.i think im gonna buy it. is the vibe of this fragrence davidoff cool water like?
Hello Lanier, Amazing review, the style of your reviews (already watched about 5) is incredibly unique. Have you any plans to review some YSL (one of my favorite designer houses) scents? Greetings from Germany, you just gained a subscriber! :)
Lanier what a great review , I'm gonna have to check out some of those films now , I heard of purple noon before well seen the cover when I used to work at blockbuster a long time ago , always nice to find another reviewer 2 , love to see peoples different takes on things :) ty :)
I'm a 19 year old boy when I owned a 1st bottle of this fragrance, it came from my Japanese brother in law who came here in Philippines and then after he came back again I immediately ask him to buy me a 100ml. For me this is my best mysterious fragrance, there is something beneath in this scent that I can't get away with. I am very glad to find a review of this fragrance because so far no one is reviewing this one. I love this masterpiece. Thank you for sharing this review and also I learned a new knowledge with sir Alain Delon. Subscribed!
This film has incredibly similar parallels to a video game series about a hitman named 47. He also lives in run down places and has a pet bird. Just like Costello in the film.
I brought this many years ago. I still have about 10ml left out of 100 ml... I purchased it for about £15 and now its going on ebay for about £100!! Wow... I should have brought several bottles! I'm finding it's really too heavy for the summer.... Need to switch to a lighter fragrance.

Nothing like a hot cup of tea on a cold winter's day. I think you will really enjoy Scent Land.
The photograph at the beginning was beautiful. I used to watch Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers when I was a child. Your review was most excellent and sharing a fellow youtuber's link was very kind of you. Thumbs up my friend.
Thanks for the thumbs up! Yes Fred and Ginger were and still are s'wonderful.
Great reviewer Sir. So glad you found Chris's station , he's a really great and passionate reviewer. Hope he can have a great following as well.
I hope so too dspada67, Chris is a real find for the fragrance community.

Very nice review, Lanier. Sounds like an interesting fragrance and Chris is indeed a very nice gentleman. I like his reviews.
Thanks Chad, I forgot to mention too that Samourai is very reasonably priced as well. A great scent for a good price is always good news.

Hello Lanier,
Amazing review, the style of your reviews (already watched about 5) is incredibly unique.
Have you any plans to review some YSL (one of my favorite designer houses) scents?
Greetings from Germany, you just gained a subscriber! :)
Grüße an meinen neuen deutschen Freund! So happy to have you here. I hope to do some YSL soon as a matter of fact. Cheers!
Tanks for this review. I'm so jealous. I can't buy more in Brazil this parfum. And my last one have 2 or 3ml. And you have a full bottle.

How long does it lasts and project brother?
@deoperalta995 Hey, Projects at least 1 to 2 feet, about longevity I'd say up to 6 hours with 2 to 4 spray.
Chris from Scent land is awesome!!! I love his style and take on fragrances! Highly recommended to all!
Yes Chris is great! And a really nice fellow too.
Lanier Smith Totally agree Lanier!!!
Really2 love and missed a lot of this Samourai fragrance...
great review, many thanks.
+Doubl3 Troubl3 Cheers!

Great cinema history love the old actors who were truly special this cologne must be a masterpiece! :)
Yes Rawley it is indeed something special.
I dont know why but dry down reminds me of reflection man
Now that is very interesting. Cheers.
amazing review
Thanks so much J
hate reading how this was $10s or so 4 years ago on flea bay, and now, trending at $50+...
+StevenCHKim That's how it goes sometimes. A fragrance suddenly gets "hot" and the price starts to climb.
