Cool. Yatogan is my scent of this very cold day in PA. I have the 2 vintage you show. I'm wearing the older one. I didn't know which was older,so thanks. You know what it's like to loose your smell from covid. I lost it for 2 years, it's still coming back. But wearing Yatogan I was glad that I'm smelling it quite well again. It reminded me a bit of Siberian Musk. The pine and the great blending of dark and green natural notes. I'm thinking I'll be able to get those samples out to you by Friday, with first vintage Equipage. The little funnels ordered should come in today..
I’ve written to you before and you were so gracious. I’m amazed that all of your all time favorites happen to be mine. We have similar taste anyway. I heard Zino was being discontinued-I have the current version- and I have five 4.2 ounce bottles. I probably have 9 Trumper, Eucris. I wish I wouldn’t have to mortgage my house to get another bottle of Calvin by Calvin Klein, Or Monogram by Ralph Lauren, or Chaps, or Pour Homme by YSL. I am obsessed with the last four aforementioned. I just discovered Antaeus by Chanel and that’s up with my all time favorites-next to Eucris and YSL Kouros. Your videos are awesome. Best out there. Your passion comes through. Kudos!!
OMG. I love how much you appreciate vintage fragrance. So nice to see, I applaud your taste. ;) Late '70s, '80s ,,, I used to spend hours at the drugstore, babysitting money ready to go, and I can't even believe the delectable choices we had! (too bad I didn't know then about what those puppies would be worth in the future. I could have made quite the profit! lol. ) Chaps is delicious! Both my husband & I love it. Jovan made a lot of great scents. Coty was amazing & prolific. I have about 5 bottles of Coty Wild Musk but stupidly, over the years, sold and gave away my Wild Musk Oil(s), which is crazy expensive now. I own a few Rogue Perfumery scents, including Chypre-Siam. GORGEOUS! love his stuff. You've mentioned so many beauties. great video! :)
Zino in the Lancaster bottle was just a screaming best buy. I have a backup. It's in the engraved format type too. Also, for what I got Lagerfeld Cologne, what can you compare it to with today. Nothing. I have a backup, and if I can get that price again, mine mine mine mine. I'm kinda going through the splash. My bottle has the UTIF, that was stopped in 90, and it shows Dist E Arden-Mi. The UTIF is a tax code for Italy. That's to my understanding Ramsey. Read that on basenotes and Raiders of the Lost scent. The splash bottle, well, the sticker is only partly readable, but it's the cologne. The person I was buying the vintages from, had Yatagan in your darker color, but almost everything he had is almost gone. He had great prices. Glad he had Joint left. Still waiting. Thank you. Wrote them down. I think I'm going to get a backup of this Ferre For Man. The seller still has another of the UTIF variety at a respectable price. Looking at Perry Elis Cologne too. Another good price. I tell ya, I'm glad I got three bottles of KL Homme. Thank you so much for that Ramsey. Thank you for everything.
Thank you for sharing the UTIF info Eddie.... I actually never knew that 🙏 As far as the back ups you are backing up some of my absolute favorites, JOINT (which I have a backup of too on the btw & I forgot to mention it in my video🤷♂️) and Lagerfeld Cologne & KL Homme & Zino ... fantastic taste my friend 🍻
Red label Yatagan sort of reminds me of steak. Lol. Must be the Basil, Tarragon and Leather mix. Quite good. There was a taller bottle Yatagan came in just like Shalimar came in. Or at least did.
Boss Coffee is the 💣 you're the only other person I've seen who enjoys it! Black coffee is great and what surprised me in the video is to see Chypre Siam. Just received a 30 ml of Bon Monsieur and Targhee Forest. Love me a nice fougere on my haircut days. My next acquisition will be Chypre Siam...the dry down is stunning. Also looking into Chypre Palatin once I save enough Enough of this sweet bubblegum ethyl maltol crap..too sickly if not done right. Or too blue is generic. Makes me feel good to smell of leather, tobacco, or of anything oakmossy green.
Just found your channel and subscribed. Polo green was my signature scent in high school during late 80's. They still ribbed me at my 30 year reunion. Yeah, I was heavy on the trigger.
OG Opium came in 36ml not 38. The original EDts came in some weird amounts like 36ml, 69ml & 105ml, and these were different to the splash bottles and the parfum bottles which all came in some really non-standard amounts. Either way, the OG opium is one of my favorites
Heritage is such a wonderful fragrance, I have the silver cap but find the reformulated edt just as good. Edt is preferred and always boosts my confidence when worn.
Wow now that’s how one should backup son ,puts me to shame lol .But I unashamedly also adore the Creed Aventus dna vibe of which I have various houses iterations including,wait for it Office for Men ,yes it’s true I tell ya haha got it in a bundle at Christmas and I have to admit along with Black Tie they are pleasant wears for out in the public sphere and my self. I can’t really wear my real loves people would shun me and pelt me with rotten fruits and vegetables,which on reflection some of my little beauties smell like ,so F them the hypocrites they had better wash their hands hahaha great vid R. Appreciate the huge effort 🙏✌️
Great video enjoy hearing you speak about these , many people think it is overkill to track down vintage but there have been so many Classics I originally had and sold because of the harshness of todays ingredients, just got Tenere the other day wow what a gem, I can see why you would get backup, had lapidus ph and Caron ph and sold them , I need to track down the vintage on those as well , so thankful you started RU-vid have learned so much
My uncle Spyro was an airforce pilot, and subsequently a civil airline captain back in the day. ‘Yatagan’ de Caron was his signature scent for years, but since two passenger jets crashed out from under him (no fatalities, thank goodness) he was prohibited from wearing it while flying. He reluctantly switched to Santos de Cartier, but now that he’s permanently grounded, he has come back to his beloved ‘Yatagan’ with a vengeance... 🗡✈️💥🔥🗡
Agreed ... I am doing my top 100 list right now and while heritage beats it out for masculine frags from Guerlain as far as my preference goes... habit rouge edt will be in the top 20 for sure 😊
I'm more than halfway through this and think I've only smelled maybe 5 of the ones you've mentioned so far, Ramsey! You really search for those older gems! To be fair (to me) I was only really interested in women's fragrances until about 10 years ago. Lol!
Yeah I am big into vintage masculines but lately I have been buying fem targeted fragrances and have had some amazing luck ... tamango de leaonard is one I completely forgot to include that I have 3 bottles of that I think you would like... also towards the end you will see Teatro Alla Scala which I would highly highly recommend you search down (i did an EDP vs EDT comparison video if you are so inclined) & also vintage Opium EDT & Opium Secret de parfum & then finally the one that came out of left field last year was creeds vanisia ... if you like le lion or shalimar vanisia is in the same ballpark 😊
If you can find a vintage splash bottle you will be blown away (i think🤔) but the modern formulation is still quite nice.. thanks for trusting my nose 🤠
Beautiful, beautiful collection! I agree with many of your backups, and need to try some new (vintage) fragrances. I'd like to suggest some fragrances I don't remember having seen in your videos, but maybe I'm wrong: Oriental: Youth Dew by Estee Lauder, Diva by Ungaro Honey and beeswax: Bee by Zoologist Clean and soapy: Bourjois Masculin 2 Black Instant (a fantastic and long lasting cheapie), Iperborea by Villoresi. I don't have many backups in general, except for the following: Kouros (Paris and Parfum Corps), Zino (don't hate me: strangely, I prefer the current version to the Lancaster's), Casbah, Freyja, Wazamba, Chypre-Mousse, Reve d'Ossian, Balestra Pour Homme, Teneré, many Aramis' (Tuscany, Devin, Aramis, 900), Sergio Soldano Uomo (black bottle), Yatagan, Reporter, Lapidus Pour Homme. I respect you and appreciate your videos.
Current formula over vintage is a sin 🤠😂😂😂 Just kidding.. i thought the current version of zino is quite good but its in my DNA to go for the vintage juice.. 😂😂 Thanks for sharings those rec I have youth dew its amazing but the others I dont have .. bee has been on my wish list forever as I love honey 😊🐝
@@RamseytheRam maybe the vintage bottle of Zino I tried wasn't in good shape; who knows.... Of the formulation I own (at least from 2018, when I bought it; maybe older), I preferred the fact it smelled much more animalic (a bit like Lapidus Pour homme) than the vintage, which was deeper and smoother. Diva will surprise you, as I know you like opulent fragrances. It's a must-try for oriental fragrances' lovers! Should you manage to try some of the fragrances I told you, let me know your impressions. Bee's longevity is like Marines "semper fidelis".... Stay strong.
Great video as always. Would you ever give some of the ugly mainstream a chance- like an ADG Profumo? Some of the stuff on your black list may be worth a second look.
Good morning Handsome! 😍Have you been working out? You look fantastic! And that beautiful Hair..... ! ❤ All Fragrances that you talked about I used to wear. Caron is so good... (the old version) 👍Jaïpur is amazing! Jealous that your weather is about 90. I am still under snow 🥶 Ramsey, has your wife kissed you today? 😙 Well, I can Tell you that Natalie is with Lalique because they let her be herself. LVMH that owns Dior wouldn't let her be herself but just create generics as they do for all those houses that they took over and destroyed their souls.
Thats a good shout Marc on the Nathalie Lorson point...i really respect her for sticking to her guns and creating what she wants to create! As far as working out goes I try and run about 3 miles a day about 5 times a week.. i stopped lifting because I didnt enjoy it and I was doing it for others not myself ... running I enjoy 😊
On a similar vein, an interesting video to make would be of fragrances you had but didn’t like or ran out and can’t find more of. Can’t see it being too long of a video but would be interesting.
I dont have many frags from the past from when I was young I dont currently own except ck one, nautica & issey miyake 😂 I do have a few where the bottles have turned like Creed Millesime Imperial & Silver Mountain Water :(
The modern men's fragrances (some of them) smell sweet and flowery like my mom's fragrances from 40 years ago ....I'm aware not everyone shares my opinion (I'm okay with that)
Ohhhh thats a tough one... its basically to my nose a powdery chypre .. very unique & great fragrance that got over looked for many years because it was the "cheaper" offering to Polp Green... let me sleep on that question 😂😂😂
As for value creation, the prices of your collection will be going up in the next few years. At some point, the vintage eBay market will dry up. Give these a try- Parfum Nicolas Patchouli intense and NY intense, and thank me later. She does new vintage perfumery
I own both... i like NY Intense & I hate Patchouli intense... Patchouli intense is actually misnamed.. its geranium Intense to my nose...scratchy fragrance.. i am not a fan... i think the prices of vitnage perfume are insane btw
@@RamseytheRam try the dry down of the patch intense Nicolai. If you like Zino and Givenchy vintage, there is a surprise there for you. Plus have a gander at Reminiscence Patchouli
I dont know😳 What should I do? I dont even know how to put music in the opening or the names of the fragrances in the videos... I am not smart enough for special events... but I do have a special video idea 🤔
The backup bottles in my collection is St. DuPont Signature for men, it’s close to my signature scent Carven homme which is hard to find now so i have 2 backup bottles of carven homme and st. DuPont signature I have to count how many backups i have??
@@RamseytheRam Gucci envy price is through the roof now, carven homme and st. DuPont signature are best alternatives for Envy but both missing that ginger note.
Yea I don't like Un Pour Homme de Caron and I have the newer bottle. I'm not sure I would like the older one any more. The lavender is too raw and the fragrance too simple. Smells dull like play dough. I read somewhere though that the head of Caron said the neither the bottle or juice has changed since 1934.
I dont belive that one bit... i can tell you right now as I have done side by side tests the older bottle I have is far far far superior... FAR 😂 if you like the lavender vanilla combo at all I would rec seeking out a bottle 🙏
@@RamseytheRam For some reason my reply keeps disappearing. Pasted hyperlinks aren't allowed? Anyway, I found the reference from the Caron CEO, its in a Bespokeunit article: "Romain Alés, Caron’s current CEO, has stated that both the bottle and its contents has never been altered since its release." Don't know the truth but I'll have to take your word re juice difference. But your vintage bottle puzzles me. I found a 1958 print ad for sale on ebay but I won't try to paste the link here because I don't want to lose the post. But the bottle is the current design. I also see there is another print advertisement from 1948 and still another one supposedly released in 1934 (with the shadow silhouette of a man in the background). All with the same current bottle design. What year is your vintage bottle?
