I've been praying for this moment. I follow you religiously as a fragrance reviewer. You are classy, sophisticated, witty and know your scents. I blind bought 8 men's fragrances due to your videos in the past. I'm 49 years old turning 50 in May of this year. I'm not into the sweet young type of Fragrances for guys younger than 40. I'm into the mature, masculine, Woody, spicy, bourbon type of scents. I love love love the Heritage by Guerlain and the Bogart pour homme. I also love the Dunhill icon, Dior eau sauvage edt, Acqua di Parma Colonia club cologne, Cartier declaration D'un soir intense, Acqua di Parma Colonia essenza and Aramis tobacco reserve. Last year in February I had 3 bottles of men's Fragrances, but now in April of 2019 I own 29. Out of nowhere I jumped on the fragrance cruise ship mainly because of you. Thank you.
I just love this album Shaken and Stirred: The David Arnold James Bond Project. Biork did a cover of You Only Live Twice for that album but pulled it for some reson. You can get it now on ITunes...and here it here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gzHmYOQFmK8.html Thanks Pine...always lovely to hear from you. Cheers.
Holy Crap! How did I miss this episode over the weekend? Regardless, brilliant picks (lucky you), and always an entertaining video backdrop. Cheers, Lanier!
Thank you my friend for the recognition. I truely love your content on RU-vid ever since I started watching fragrance reviews. Great intro as usual and awesome choices in this video! 🙌😍
I cannot thank you enough, I was a collector but more important a lover of beautiful fragrance during the 80s and 90s but while I have always loved a great scent I lost contact. Your videos alone firstly got me engaged with Fragrance again. Also for the first time realised there are no such things as Male, Womens, Unisex. If you love it you can wear it! I can honestly say you have enriched my life so sending my love from the UK xxx
HA! I'm wearing No. 19 today (EDT) because I was feeling the need for green in my life. I might need to revisit the Prada Infusion d'Iris. That beauty was at my local discounter and I liked it but it didn't make me all week in the knees. Then again, I smelled it in the dank of a North Texas winter, so my mind wasn't in summer mode. Gucci made some simply amazing scents back in the day. I'm haunted by Envy and another from the late 80's, Nobile. Then again, I love big shouldered, complex fougeres like 1881. I wish that houses would produce throwback collections...something exclusive and limited...to reintroduce these magnificent scents to a new audience (and of course capitalize on nostalgia!) XOXO
Just love the music and opening of your videos. I've been jamming to Iggy's The Fool LP most of the week. Dum Dum Boy's and Night Clubbing hahaha. David Bowie, was such an amazing producer. Brought Iggy back to life.... Will look up your recommendations as well. TY Lanier.... The Chanel 19 sounds delightful. I need to get me a sample online and smell her. Blessings.
Although I was not really attracted to the "four for life" series out there, and haven't watched any, to watch yours is a no brainer. Always love your reviews, your class and attitude toward life and people. Thank you and cheers
Manfred you just made my day! Truthfully I don't like tag videos that much. I keep saying I'm never going to do another. But when I am tagged I try to be polite. And well when Steven tagged me, he is such a treasure that I knew I could not disappoint him. so...here we are! Thank you so much Manfred for your very kind comment. Cheers.
Rarely do I hop onto a review as swiftly as I do yours. Cannot WAIT to hear your thoughts. You look well, sir. (Ah, Envy! My fifth choice as in my selection I have 5 bottles and the after shave balms....I do love it!) My four: Amber Absolute vintage, Bois Noir - one of 5,000 bottles in existence, Black Cube by Roman Molvizar - to die for!), and my most beloved of all fragrances Rochas' Macassar (edp and apres rasage) which outlasted my first wife! MGTOW for life, now, however.
always I get a bunch of class and style, looking at your stunning reviews Mr. Smith ! I will purchase Nr 19 and Prada infusion Iris ! As an Iris lover, I have Iris Nazarena from Aedes des Venustas, and that opening is out of this world ! It becomes to much of a skin scent, to quickly unfortunately ....I bow for you Mr. Smith !
Wonderful choices! Most beautiful Bond-music 😍 My top 4 would be Fleur Musc Narciso Rodriguez, Concentrée d’Orange verte Hermes, Angel Muse Mugler and Insolence edp Guerlain (1 for every season).
I love your videos. Always so refined and I feel like I am transported somewhere fancy for a few moments. I subscribed to your friend's channel. xoxo Wendy
I remember owning Gucci envy when it first came out in the late nineties..I was in my late twenties then and loved that fragrance..really disappointed that it's now discontinued because it's one scent from my past that I would love to own again...another lovely video Lanier and a great selection especially the Prada fragrance "I love Prada fragrances " I think there classy and beautifully blended for "designer" fragrances...to me there definitely niche quality..keep up the fantastic work
Whatever happened to Friday Night cocktails with Lanier? I need it now...especially since I've actually started having a drink or two on Friday Night. Did you find a love interest? I have...got a puppy and 6-weeks ago and I just love, love, love her. But I spend a lot more time at home...entertaining and drinking. LOL!
Dear Mr Smith! All this and Iggy Pop too! I have been anxiously awaiting your response to this tag. And as expected, I am not disappointed. I have never had the pleasure of sampling three of your selections, possessing only a decant of No. 19. Thus begins my new mission of acquiring decants of the others. The Gucci Envy sounds really compelling! Wonderful list, thank you!
Hello Lanier, I have missed you and your frequency of videos. Thank you for this video as I appreciate the facts around Chanel No. 19. I used to use Chanel No. 19 in my 20s and you are inspiring me to revisit it again!! I hope to see more videos from you, especially the ones that link fragrances to Film Noir movies!! xoxo
LANIER! HOW IS MY FRAGRANCE FRIEND? BEEN MISSING YOU! BE WELL, RETURN QUICKLY and remember... "Wear what you love and not what they say you should like...Cheers🍸! (On Her Majesty's Secret Service is one of my favorite Bond films. GL was a great Bond)
You sir are a man of your word! About to settle in to your latest production of 'Butchart Gardens Victoria British Columbia'. Especially excited to see it as I'll be there in late July - timely. Cheers!
We have this Scottish Fine Soaps Au Lait Body Milk. Comes in a milk bottle cream and smell just like the Prada! The orris root lipstick scent in there. Keep an eye out for it. It’s great out of the shower. How are you?
Great list Lanier, I have my eye on a bottle of Gucci Envy I know someone selling a nearly full bottle for €150. Would you say I should pull the trigger? Really want it and I love the whole owning a discontinued fragrance thing! :D
Where else would I find Iggy Pop, Alfred Hitchcock's cool blondes, Ian Fleming and smart, engaging discussions on perfume, but here! Enjoyable viewing, as always, dear Lanier.
Hey Lanier. Great video and taste. About Chanel 19, do you prefer the EDP over the EDT? I think the EDT was the one that Coco Chanel wore right before her death, and the EDP was released shortly after. what do you think abut the EDT?
I believe Envy is also a favorite of Ashton from Gents Scents. Since it is sadly discontinued any suggestions of a scent that will give a similar scent impression/ feel?
Karl Senula the only thing that comes to mind at the moment is, of all things. The original Coco by Chanel. And perhaps Fou d’Absenth by L’artisan de Parfumur. Cheers
It is "We Have All The Time In The World" written by John Barry for "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" and is sung by Iggy Pop. It is on the David Arnold album Shaken And Stirred.
