LOL

@@HandsomeSmells 😂😂😂

😅😂🤣😂

FLEX 💪

It is an amazing fragrance with many changes over the years, I suppose that's to be expected for a fragrance nearly 70 years old! Thanks for subscribing 🙏🏻

@@RichMitch - 👍🙂

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻

It's part of the fun, hunting for old vintage bottles of things. There is a lot of work that goes into it, it's more than just an Internet search, you are right. Cheers Lynn

Cheers m8, inspired by your Alain Delon video yesterday

Thank you! Appreciate it

Goodness me, I don't know where I've got that 5m stat from then 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Ribbed for our pleasure 🤣🤣 Cheers m8, thanks for sharing your experience

😂 Cheers!

It's a lost art, unfortunately

That could be because of maturation over time or just a style tweak. I know exactly what you mean about a perfume expressing what you want. For me, vintages seem to do that more often than newer bottles but there's no right or wrong answer. I have many newer versions and newer releases that I love

How long?!

@@RichMitch ..for as long as I've been watching fragrance reviews which is around eight years or so..not sure anyone's done this with the guerlain vetivers

@@RichMitch..I can vaguely remember in the mid 80s that oldest guerlain bottle you have used to be called the "heinze backed bean" bottle..I remember my dad owned it and thats wht he called it 😆

😂😂😂 It is the same colour

Need to spend more time with the latest version

Which one?

Btw... have never seen that green cologne bottle before! The ribbed bottle isn't that what is known as Vetiver Eau Glacee/ Frozen fragrance or Vetiver Sport? Your description matches the former, that's a great year rounder for me.

@@LEgoiste I think the Vetiver ribbed bottle is just the normal vetiver, there may be flankers but it's not stated on the bottle so I'm taking it as the original. Hear many stories about dusty old vintages in pharmacies

​@@RichMitch It's normal version 100%. I had sport version. Not worth seeking.

🤨

Ah, did you find that it in opened up a bit as you used it?

My gold cap Habit rouge EDT is sooo much stronger than the current EDT, do you guys have the same experience? It’s so sad how short and quiet the habit rouge is now…it’s so sad… lasts 2 hours on me. At the same time, I have many versions of heritage, and that one seems to be pretty similar in performance.

I haven't really worn mine that much, not a huge fan

Thank you very much, I appreciate it! 🫡

Welcome, how is the Vetiver extreme?

@@RichMitch it's darker, smokiness and spiciness are very present, possibly sharing this with the Canadian exclusive, and i find slightly sweeter, in my humble opinion. Hasta la vista.

Tis the season!

I will do mate!! Email incoming tomorrow !

@@nickfarbeyond cool! I'll delete that now as I don't want weirds to get a hold of it lol

😂😂

Thanks man, I appreciate it

Nice, an ancient artifact

@@RichMitch Do you perceive pepper in the opening?

@@dmr9767 not hugely, I'll bear it in mind for next time I wear it

😂

Local pick up only

@@RichMitch 🤣🤣 touchè

Excellent comment and thank you 🙏🏻

​@@RichMitch Thanks for an answer ;-) By the way my ribbed bottle was from 2009 and YOUR 2018 version is "green cap" version. Penultimate version. That opaque bottle can be from sixties, I met such description but not sure if that was truth. Not later than first half of seventies, exactly.

@@oleksandrrocks I didn't see your question. 🙏🏻 The opaque bottle feels like a babybel cheese lol, the smell is very dark and tar like to me though. It certainly seems like the formula has been changed a lot since it was first introduced

@@RichMitch I think the time became "second author" of that scent. Not Jean Paul only. Sadly that we cannot imagine how it smelled when it was fresh.

Ask someone else if they can smell you, could just be onosmia

I've acquired from multiple sources but I got from le parfumier and enchante perfumes

I'd say that's a decent price. Myrrhe Ardente is a rare unicorn indeed!

@@RichMitch Thank you so much! I have 2ml left of 5ml Myrrhe Ardente decant I got years ago and I can't even use it because it has gotten so precious now haha. One day I'll get a full bottle I hope!

@@onewontdo good luck with finding a bottle. I hope you do!

Cheers Antonio

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@RichMitch 🙏🙏🙏

Absolutely spot on

Well said perroli 👏

I haven't smelled it for a while but I remember it being great. Still love the ribbed bottle though

I haven't, I'm not a huge fan of habit rouge, unfortunately. Too powdery on me

@@RichMitch that's fine! ;-)

No need for your right arm, my lord, they do walk amongst us... Just gotta be patient. I was at my local counter today and they didn't have the parfum yet

p.s. if you havent already figured it out, tell me the batch code and ill tell you exactly when it was made. its certainly an early 90s bottle with the gold sprayer you have, but it could be late 80s too i believe.

p.s.s. theres alot of people selling the 3rd bottle from the left as some kind of original vintage for alot of money but if i remember correctly it was released in 2010. it reminds me of the 70s original eau de guerlain bottle, made square.

@@SeanHH1986 thanks for watching man. I have a pretty good grip on the release dates, I still think my favourite version is the square bottle, I might even wear it today! 👀

Absolutely, I'd be happy to chat at some point. Thank you for commenting today too 🙏🏻

@@RichMitch Are you on Basenotes?

@@remingtonevernia7652 no just fragrantica

@@RichMitch you're on the wrong platform 😊

I've got that too!

🤞🏻

@@RichMitchnice video btw! You’re the only one I could find really comparing them.

@@RichMitchI recently got a bottle from 1996 of the gold cap one (second from the left in your video), and compared it to my 2012 bottle with silver cap and it is different similarly to how you described. The gold cap was much richer like a bourbon almost. And it was deeper because it was probably 6-7/8ths full. Seemed more mature like you said. It lasted longer on the dry down. And it actually looked much more golden and amber compared to the 2012 silver cap which looked lighter and more yellow green like the current ones available.

Interesting 🤔

I am glad it is here for you now! Which one did you get?

@@RichMitch None yet, I still can't get over the fact that ribbed bottle got away under my nose which is no1 on my wish list, but I will probably go for the newest version because I tested it a couple of time and it is still very well done

@@vetiwearerdaimyo1592 absolutely, keep an eye out for ribbed bottle but don't feel bad if you get the modern one

Sensational! How do you find it?

@@RichMitch I got 3 x7 ml minis from Czech. eBay. $50

@@kathrynimhoff344 what you make of the smell?

@@RichMitch Very sophisticated smooth floral with smooth animal touches. Got any sources for a FB at a reasonable price?

@@kathrynimhoff344 let me look in to it, I've hyped it to the moon so people are snapping it up right, left and centre 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ I'll try my best

Always!

Yeah it's awful! The opening is amazing but the mid and dry down are this foul amberwood

Thanks for the reply have worn Guerlain Vetiver since 1989, my career took me all over the world was a hotelier and the scent became my signature. I still have three bottles in my closet and two are ETD from the 2022 and one Is almost empty so he Extreme which isn’t really extreme it’s just a different formulation. I do love the ribbed bottle version and had that between 2009-16 living in Hong Kong but what I miss about the 1988-91 version is that tobacco and the richness. If you happen to come across a bottle from your Canadian source please let me know. I got scammed by an Italian woman on eBay and one from Australia who sold me fakes but I did get my money back. Many thanks and keep up the good work. My Vetiver collection is currently Encre Noir A L’ Extreme Nishane Sultan Vetiver Heeley Vetiver Veritas Hermès Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vetiver Eau de Parfum Spray 100ml Guerlain extreme + edt Dipthique Vetyverios Le Labo Vetiver 46 Creed Original Vetiver 2009 bottle Guerlain Vetiver EDT and Extreme My quest is to get a bottle of the 80’s version as nothing else comes close. I scour the bay and Etsy but they all look dodgy sellers.

Guerlain wheat 🤌🏻

Session or season?

@@RichMitch both

Welcome Brye

😱 Didn't know it was that many!

@@RichMitch i was not sure either, but i used to live in Montreal and that city alone is close to 2million, Toronto is around 3 i think, so... there must be a few more people there overall :) your theory is not wrong tho

@@thescentsofme its no wonder with the huge natural resources and smallish population that the standard of living is so good

I'm a very Duckie man

It's getting there!
