Welcome back to another video, today of course we're covering the classics the iconic the top
influential trendsetter groundbreaking fragrances of all time in this video i'm including
actually two fragrances for women so as the ladies continue to support the channel give
me likes if this video of course hits 500 more likes i will continue the classic iconic series
so without any further ado guys let's hop into the choices. Kicking things off here
with this fragrance here that's synonym with class sophistication groundbreaking trendsetter timeless
fragrance this is equally known to fragrance as the coca-cola of drinks
the rolex of watches I mean you guys get the picture we're talking about
Chanel n5 this is going to be the eau de parfum concentration released in 1986 the original
formulation of this fragrance was actually an accident that was actually released in 1921.
Perfumer Ernest Beaux was actually working on this fragrance for Coco Chanel Gabrielle
Chanel known as Coco Chanel and he brought her a few different vials that had the mix of this
particular fragrance and the reason why it's called number five is because the fifth vial
contained so much aldehydes and he even said to her "Gabrielle I beg your pardon please I apologize
don't mind that number five it's just too aldehylic i overdid it, never mind that
one", she said "you know what actually I like this one and because it was an accident let's go ahead
and produce this one as the new Chanel n5 and ladies and gentlemen it is an iconic fragrance
it is timeless it's absolutely breathtaking i don't have to talk much about this one like i said
before just like coca-cola rolex this particular brand is well-known anywhere in the world you talk
about Chanel n5 everybody knows, Marilyn Monroe is actually somebody very famous attached
to this fragrance among dozens if not hundreds of celebrities that wore this fragrance as their
signature scent now this is a 1986 formulation like i said the edp I actually like this
one versus the eau de toilette 1921, of course what we have today in the market is a fraction
of what these fragrances were back in the day because back in the day they actually utilize very
natural ingredients like animalic notes which they most likely 90-95% of these fragrance are now
synthetically made not many natural ingredients are now allowed for these particular fragrances
but Chanel n5 is an iconic fragrance a scent that is recognized by many and this one here
is no different one that definitely deserves the position here of the fifth spot of the most iconic
fragrance of all time again a ladies fragrance, I do wear this one, I love it, it has this aldehylic
green animalistic honey kind of a vibe, that's what i get with the edp but it also has like a
green tinge to it is absolutely groundbreaking and also i get like a soapy vibe with this fragrance a
very clean and very inviting dry down with this fragrance the beginning is a
little bit aldehylic animalistic but the dry down is actually quite pleasant. We're going to jump to
1925 now of course another house that needs no introduction the house of Guerlain famous for
their guerlainaid which is a compound that they made with vanilla, cumarin which is very um
gourmand-like they are the grandfathers of gourmands groundbreaking trendsetter
since the 1800s they've been around for 193 years and counting and this one of course
Shalimar from 1925 this is an eau de cologne concentration which is a you know more
modern version but still equally amazing it's got that guerlainaid, the vanilla
cumarin kind of a vibe spicy cinnamon honey facet powdery vibe amazing, anyone can enjoy
this again made for women but a guy can enjoy this I do enjoy this I actually like to layer
this fragrance it is absolutely groundbreaking trendsetter but the original 1925 is actually a
parfum edition that they made in 1925 the rest is history this fragrance here
as we have bad-boy type of scents these days that are associated with guys that are
players if you will, Shalimar of 1925 was a perfume
associated with the bad girls from the 20s. Now the profile of this fragrance is pretty much a
smoky vanilla a soft amber with some cinnamon and some animalistic undertones and the funny
story here for an antidote for you guys is back in the 20s three things that a lady would not dare do
was smoke, dance to tango or wear Shalimar, needless to say a great fragrance still admired and adored
nowadays for a reason this stuff here is timeless. Now we're going to jump from the 20s all the
way to the 70s from 1978 if you guys follow this channel you knew that at some point
this fragrance would make its appearance on my top classic iconic favorites of all time and
of course i'm talking about Azzaro Pour Homme the 1978 formulation this is a vintage bottle I absolutely
adore this fragrance there is one word that I would use to describe this fragrance this is a
actually two words a masterpiece fougere, this is amazing guys I love this fragrance
reminds me of my childhood, this is basically to simply describe this fragrance it's a very
pungent fougere that's very green and animalistic with a spicy undertone from anise,
cumarin there's a whole bunch of spices here but the oakmoss, the vetiver, the lavender are just
very animalistic, very concentrated in your face you really need to appreciate dark fragrances
to appreciate this one, when it dries down it gets a little bit soapy a little bit clean but the
initial blast is very green very animalistic and very pungent but a classic masterpiece
one that you cannot disregard this sits in the top best dark fragrances that were very famous
from the 70s all the way into like the 90s and it's still a very big seller these days
this is one of those fragrances that is very groundbreaking and just trendsetter
and just timeless just like your Polo Green or your Antaeus by Chanel, those dark rugged
animalistic hair chested and masculine fragrances like YSL Kouros, so forth and so on
definitely a great iconic fragrance that you should definitely consider checking out because
it is just that good. Now we're going to jump from 1978 to 1989, this particular fragrance here
I have some funny stories attached to this fragrance because it was a fragrance that was heavily worn
by guys by "bad-boys" if you will in my high school when I was in high school in early college
the thing about this fragrance is it was not your typical aquatic citrus aromatic fragrances that
were very popular in the late 90s like your CK1, CKB or Tommy Hilfiger, Tommy Man
this stuff here was the opposite it was very very oriental, very dark and even
almost gourmandish if you will because of the heavy vanilla that they used in this one
and of course I'm talking about Joop Homme, this stuff here is a heavy
almost medicinal vanilla, I love it today i think it's you know
very special very trendsetter very groundbreaking but back in the day I couldn't stand the guys that
wore this fragrance because they first of all they over sprayed they over wore this fragrance so it
was very pungent it was in your face it gave me headaches especially when the weather if it
was cold out you know winter and fall I'm in New England New York area I could bear this but when
it was spring and summer this stuff was just way too hard to bear was just too overpowering
very strong medicinal vanilla sweet just like the color of the juice it was a sticky sweet syrupy kind
of a vibe that I came to appreciate over the years a couple decades later after
i got a bottle and I appreciated the fragrance but i loved it so much that I actually found myself
a vintage bottle as you can see here the green uh the juice is starting to turn green from purple to
green believe me it's still great it still smells amazing and this is actually a vintage original
formulation from 1989 of Joop Homme eau de toilette, just absolutely fantastic very groundbreaking
very different there was nothing like this fragrance and then years later back in 95
Jean-Paul Gaultier came up with Le Male which i think they share a lot of similarities you know
Le Male is a lot more wearable a lot better made much better blended there you know Francis Kirkdijian
did a fantastic job with that fragrance with the mint, the lavender and the vanilla, but this one
here is like a darker version of Le Male which was way ahead of its time. A quick way to
summarize the smell of Joop Homme, if you haven't yet try this fragrance definitely worth checking out
today because it's like I said very groundbreaking very different than anything that's out there
this is going to be a blast of spices with creamy heliotrope which gives this almost like an almond
kind of a feel, tonka beans, vetiver, vanilla, it is a bomb of a fragrance there's nothing soft about this
one even current formulations I mean this one here right now the one that I sprayed here in the air
is actually from the 2000s and it still smells like a bomb so if you like powerful standout
fragrances that's definitely going to give you an edge when you walk or leave a room
definitely consider checking this one out this is a beast mode an atomic bomb type of a fragrance.
Now here's one for the books ladies and gentlemen this particular fragrance is one of my favorite
fragrances of all time one that i don't talk much about it because you can't find it anymore
and number two even if you do find it if it's been reformulated it's not going to smell as good as
this one from a brand that together with Lartisan Parfumeur and Serge Lutens this particular
brand here is one of my favorites of all time when it comes to niche fragrances this is going
to be from the house of Annick Goutal this is going to be Sables from 1985. This to me is a holy grail
king of all amber type scents from Anick Goutal to her husband. Annick Goutal wanted to make something for her
husband that would set him apart from everybody else she wanted to come up with a creation
that would be so unique to him and included some of her favorite elements so this is going to be
a amber type of a fragrance that has black pepper, black tea, cinnamon, immortelle sandalwood and of
course amber, now the immortelle here is absolutely fantastic gives the scent almost like this boozy
tobacco hei like vibe, this to me my friends is absolutely a masterpiece if i had to come up with
a top 10 top masterpiece fragrances of all time this would make the list without a shadow of a doubt
it's something that I keep very near and dear to my heart very hush but I wanted to share
here with you today on this top 5 iconic classic outstanding timeless trendsetter
groundbreaking fragrances of all time because this is just that guys an absolute masterpiece of an
amber, sweet, spicy, herbal, animalistic, it's got everything I love, the tobacco, the pepper
and this gorgeous amber facet that is just uncanny and second to none guys. If you're looking for a
masterpiece holy grail amber "end all, be all" this would be it right here, Sables from Annick Goutal.
