I wasn't aware he was every non-IFRA. They used to carry all of his PRYN parfum stuff in the UK, and across Europe, so I assumed it was IFRA compliant. Having spent more time with them, I don't think Turkish Leather and Morah are the same under their new packaging. I'd be interested to smell Mandarava since the Prissana line moved to 30ml bottles. I think Thichila and Mriga, which was released a year ago, are pretty much as good as Prin gets.
There’s nothing more attractive than a man who is confident with himself and comfortable wearing what he enjoys . I love wearing florals and am not looking for compliments or wear perfume to please others . Good on all the secure straight guys wearing what they love ❤️
Albert Sung is a very Geranium forward fragrance, warmed with a hint of cinnamon. There are a number of aftershaves that are lilac forward, haven't found an EDT with that note that works for me yet. Great Video!
A lot of recommendations I would like to try, I wear Chanel 19 during summer, also paris riviera, and talking about floral oriented female labeled ones that I use are, Robert Piguet-Bandit, Sisley- Soir de lune, YSL-Opium 77, very nice video like always.
@@WaftsfromTheLoft I like the current EDT I have a bottle from the 70s and it is ok it has a lot of depth and more dark for that reason on the contrary I like more the current EDT version
Couldn't agree with both of you more, Geranium Pour Monsieur is wonderfully refreshing, and yes, the mint is not toothpasty at all. Want toothpasty mint? Try Etat Libre d'Orange You or Someone Like You. I don't know how true this is but according to a salesman at an Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle store, Geranium Pour Monsieur is Mr. Malle's favorite.
If this is representative of floral fragrance for men, I hate florals. Personally I find florals to be (almost?) exclusively feminine, and suggesting men wear them is akin to emasculation, feminisation, and an antidote to accusations of ‘toxic masculinity’. That’s my OPINION, that I believe I’m still free to express, so deal with it. I know there’s a lot of love for Carnal Flower, but I can’t get past the repulsive top notes. Ropion made a far better tuberose fragrance with Les Bains Guerbois’ 1992 Purple Night. I like Paloma y Raices from Homoelegans, and although the caramel is a little offputting, Franck Boclet’s Cocaine is decent, and perhaps wearable for a man as caramel has started to become a little more fashionable. I also liked the ‘cheap and cheerful’ Truth or Dare celebrity fragrance from Madonna, a woman at work used to wear it before it was discontinued. Also discontinued, the one ‘proper’ floral marketed to men, Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fleur du Male. Maybe the discontinuation is indicative of my earlier point, florals are not masculine.
I'm wearing No.5 EDP on a regular basis. Some try it once and dislike it, a top tip is to wear it regular for a week and fall in love with it as I did. Best advice I ever got is wear the fragrance for yourself and not others. I've found wearing fragrances, particularly florals is that whilst in department stores etc, sales assistants stand much closer and are very chatty with a lovely smile. The future's bright, it's floral.
@@WaftsfromTheLoft I can't speak for others but I do miss the odd 'n' fragrances for 'm' style of video that you do. They reveal lots about your habits, how stuff wears in a climate or season which is always nice to listen to. I would love to see a video done about fragrances that maybe don't last long but, boy - they make an impression. I don't think ANY channel has done that one. You know, we all have those guilty pleasures that don't stick about for long - but they reveal fleeting beauty. Also one about 'best savoury' perfumes. There are plenty of perfumes with dominant or savoury hearts and accords. 🤩😍😁
I wish I had a nickel every time Ive said, gents if you're not exploring the "women's" section of the store you're missing out! Great video.. I own and wear most of the fragrances you featured and love them.
Here's the thing about scented geranium (Pelargonium gravolens) though...all the fragrance comes from its leaves and not the blossoms. The leaves are where get the essential oil or solvent-extracted absolute. So to refer to it as a floral note is debatable. Be that as it may, GOD I love a good geranium note.
The Choir here. Every time I watch your videos I walk away with something good. An idea, or in this case a purchase. I hopped over to Ebay and just picked up a bottle of Molinard Chypre d'Orient. I really appreciate your ideas and taste. FLOWERS ARE FOR GUYS! Thanks again.
@@WaftsfromTheLoft Hi Guys. Thanks for checking in. The Molinard is a treat. I've enjoyed wearing it a few times since I got it. When I saw it's note profile and comments I was expecting something along the lines of Mitsouko. On me it plays more like Aromatics Elixir or Aramis 900 (drier more floral, not as fruity). All three I'm crazy about. I'm looking forward to giving Molinard some good wearings during the Springtime, my favorite season for Chypres. Thanks again for the suggestion.
Great list & presentation. Thank you. My favourite floral notes are: iris 1899 by HDP, Tuberose 3 Animale by HDP also 😚.. Carnation note is Salome!! Rose note is Rose Anonymous by Atelier
Love Patchouli intense for the warmer weather....my next Fb purchase after NY Intense.Have you guys tried Terenzi’s Porpora a cloves /raspberry /cinnamon rose fragrance a POAL like fragrance which is lesser priced...heard good things about it.
Good list, fellas. Up to 2 years ago, I wouldnot have sought florals to wear, now Rose (i.e., Amouage Lyric Man; CartierDeclaration D'un Soir, Kieren NYC Rose Ink, etc) is one of my favorite florals to wear. Definitely going to sample these, especially that "filthy" Maai😉.
Based off of your reviews I sampled MAAI last night. Its lasting power means I am still sampling it this morning ~12 hours later. It really is exceptionally complex and eternal. It is an absolute must buy for me. The way that it opens up/ blooms on my skin over the first couple of hours is unlike any perfume I have ever experienced. Thanks gents!
Thanks for the video guys -- always enjoyable. On the flip side, I hadn't tried Geranium Pour Monsieur for the longest time because of the name. But I did last year and found it delightful and unisex. So I've learned my lesson: to pay less attention to perfume names and marketing.
Dominique Ropion has to be my favorite FM perfumer! On an unrelated note, I was looking into Bortnikoff, Musk Khabib looked interesting. But I was wondering if there was something you would recommend as a first must try? And how do you find the Chanel No.5 parfum since you mentioned the cologne? Cheers gents!
@side2 Side Guys, wear what you want because you like it and it suits you. Not because some fucuking leftisttt like this one tells you to wear perfume marketed to women or you're insecure. They are as bad as someone who tells you that you're forbidden from wearing a woman's scent. I wear a female fragrance from time to time because this one happens to suit my skin - not because a bunch of soys tell me to wear it and start with the insults to push that opinion.
Great video as ever chaps - I still get very excited when I see you've loaded something new up! Honourable mentions from me for Cartier Declaration D'un Soir (spicy masculine rose) and Aramis 900 (the 'male' version of Aromtics Elixir). And no Tyger Tyger (I know, the list could go on for ever!😊)? Thanks for all your content, keep up the good work. And let's hope you get back to the Loft soon!
Bought Ealing Green based on your recommendation. Nose piercingly bad. Like perm lotion. The way the sharp aromatic element of the OTT thyme blends with the synthetic smelling rose is eye watering. It's currently up on eBay if anyone wants it. Eek.
Lovely Gents, very much enjoyed that. Theres some of my new fragrances that are green florals and on the side of flamboyant vintage that cant be ignored, watching your post here just made me more confident wearing what I do love. Plus, when Luca Turin can describe my favourite in the 2018 book, 'a dandified masculine' - Im 100% in. Wear your florals chaps and enjoy every minute of them.
@@WaftsfromTheLoft Ah, misunderstood my post chaps, neither of those although Habit Rouge sounds like a lifer to go for. My favourite Floral is TF Vert de Fleur, if you'll indulge me. Moment I smelled it I was cast back to 1987, Art teacher, big baggy flouncy, and that was just her clothes - I hadn't thought of her for 30 years but swear she wore an old school floral green scent like that. Amazing recollection through fragrance. Thanks
Could anybody possibly spare a decant of Morah? Pryn is my favourite brand, and the praise for it in this video, just makes me want to smell it even more. Please.
Oh man! Thanks so much for the shout out guys, we fangirl you two real hard!! Here's to suits, wine, and good perfume. :)
Ugh, we really need to get more into Prin's stuff. He's so good. Any insight on the reforms now that he's IFRA compliant? -Camille
@@MakingaStink Fancy seeing you two here. How nice! We're in good company. :)

Good job guys.
Please try Czech & Speake no. 88 and Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier Iris Bleu Gris, two of my favorite masculine florals.
Iris Bleu Gris is pure bliss! Like a smooth and better Grey Flannel to me, and I LOVE Grey Flannel.
Ah yes, Iris Bleu Gris is one I want check out.

Mitsuoko is so good. Lyric man is also amazing.
L'eau Disseyis a great example!
I'm actually devastated. Not even an honourable mention for Koh-i-noor 😭 Great list, chaps! Too many to mention, I know.
I can see this is going to cost me lol. Another great video thanks!
Thanks!
its cool to wear flowers, nothing wrong with.
Thanks!

Ditto got the 30ml so happy but my wallet is crying
but my 8th Areej....phew

Hey guys, what are the new names of Pryn Morrah and Turkish leather?
Cheer and love from Canada.
Mandodari and Anatolia!

Could anybody possibly spare a decant of Morah? Pryn is my favourite brand, and the praise for it in this video, just makes me want to smell it even more. Please.
I will swap it for a mil of Russian oud if that appeals to anyone. This is the same person, I have two TH-cam accounts.
Oh, and I just bought a sample of koh-i-noor, based on your recommendation, and it may be the best floral I've ever smelled. Thanks guys.

Neither.
Are you guys psychic? I was just thinking about what floral fragrances I could/should consider this morning! 🌸🤯👏
Just tried Making a Stink...total crap
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy them. I think they're great.

Awesome list!
Thanks!
