Banana Republic SLATE cologne/fragrance review!!

[wootywooty123]

uh where can i buy this? its not anywhere online

[heedless619]

I love this!!!

[bboyfbk]

great job dude excellent review.

[warriordiscus7]

How's the silliage?

[austinhuynh001]

@warriordiscus7 doesnt last too long on my skin, the longest i ever got out of it was 3 hours. but i think the smell is amazing

[JRWRlTER]

i have it and its great

[jlilaj]

what is it out of ten, tim?

[jlilaj]

i bought this blindly on amazon cuz of u and marc lol.

it came today. Only issue I have is that it dies around 4 hrs.

[psuadidasboi]

this is amazing, i love this cologne!!!

[ARD725]

You should try BR's new cologne, Republic of Men. SOOO good. Cordovan is pretty good too.

[coolwaterblack]

millsime imperial is good

[cjb9396]

hey tim im back again. How would you go upon putting on abercrombie and fitch fierce like how many sprays and where. I know u arent really into these colognes but i have it and was just wondering

[ptitan08]

for me the first 30 mins of the sent are pretty generic, but the dry-down on my skin after the initial 30 mins is MAGIC. Tim's right, the more u wear this scent the more u'll like it!

[patbat51]

Versace

[cjb9396]

Hey Tim I gots a question. What would be a good cologne for people who are 12-15 and i live in maine and it gets freezing in the winter in case that helps.

[tswetcoff]

i would try something warm and sweet like rochas man or hanae mori are both great for your age

[cjb9396]

Thanks Tim

[tswetcoff]

win win buddy, just pick the one YOU like more lol

[wigglewasp]

I was wearing this today, while helping a friend move. And I was thinking to myself "one of these guys smells really good." I noticed it was myself and I was wearing banana republic slate.

[tswetcoff]

thats awsome haha

[patbat51]

LMFAO don't you love that when you smell so good you say wow! and you think whos that he smells really good and your like wow that's MEEE bahaha

[illmaticways]

You only buy 100ml bottles when they're really good right? Another great video, keep it up man.

[kappaz]

I tried this the other day at banana republic. I think the initial 5-10 minutes is outstanding. However, once it starts to dry down it feels pretty generic and boring. If it maintained the intense freshness from the initial onset, it would be great. For around $20 online this isn't a bad purchase, but I think there are better options out there.

[SwimAtYourOwnRisk]

Im about to buy a cologne online, but Im skeptical about buying from fragrancenet, I've heard some very negative things about them. I know you have some sort of agreement with them, but just be honest. I am about to buy a $95 cologne from them, and I heard they spam your email address and don't send authentic colognes - just watered down versions. Let me know!

[spyman0071]

They do send the real cologne and it is not watered down or anything. I'll be honest and say that they do send two e-mails a week, to tell you what is on sale. A good thing is that they let you give you a link after you order that lets you track your package, and they send a free sample with every order.

[spyman0071]

They way you talked about his tim, I ordered a bottle for a cheap price. You were right about it smelling very clean and modern.

[JiveTwankle]

dat shit stink like shit! i cant be wearing dat shit becuz it be stinking like mothefucking shit mane i hate dat shit and my gurl be hating dat shit to she say dat shit be stank like some wack ass shit some nigga from wheel of fortune be wearing cuz he wanna look white but on da real dat is some stanky ass perfume.

[tswetcoff]

hmmmit might just work differently on your skin jive, ive had women want me to wear this one to parties after they smelled it, it works great on mine

[Aryanpride100]

Lol. You tell him tim. It works great on white skin and bad on black skin.

[kingdanny4754]

@JiveTwankle you sound like a true nigga

[gerardlawlor82]

Hey Tim

Going back to what you said in a previous review about the woman's version of Light Blue by D&G smelling much better then the men's version.

Would you say that also Clinique Happy for Women smells much better then the men's version.

Another ace review.

Keep it up.

[MrAnthonie]

hey tim, what up? XD have u ever tried hugo by hugo boss? i used to wear that fragrance all the time. i'd like to see what u think about it. message me sometime i have some simple questions. :D hope to hear from u, dude!!!!

[BestCologneBlog]

you should try the new one, element, not elements, it came out in 2009

[MrAnthonie]

thanks bro. i always can use some good idea's when it comes to colognes and fragrances. :p

[BestCologneBlog]

no prob, check me out too

[tswetcoff]

ill see if i can check it out, thanks bud, at sophora or macys yet?

[BestCologneBlog]

If your talkin about element by hugo boss, i had recieved sample from macy's when I bought D&G The One

[tswetcoff]

ive used hugo by hugo boss, the best thing about it is the longevity, asfar as the scent goes tho, its ok, i wouldnt buy, it remind me of peppermint gum lol IMO theres much better stuff out there

[MrAnthonie]

yeah i actually agree with u i just wanted to know what u thought of it. :p my friend liked it and its just a thing that reminds me of hangin with him. im planning on getting some burberry london thanks to ur review i gotta try it out! :D i love ur reviews. cant wait for ur next!!!! XD

[tswetcoff]

oh buddy London is astonishing, its truely a joy to wear!

[MrAnthonie]

XD i cant wait to get it. im wondering what my winter fragrance should be tho, over here in south dakota it gets rlly friggin cold and iwant somethn that'll be good for a hs student to wear. ne suggestions?

[tswetcoff]

for HS student i would try rochas Man, givenchys PI, hanae Mori, or Le male if you wanna be a pimp! lol

[MrAnthonie]

aight, thanx dude, i love ur reviews, have u reviewed all of these fragrances? i havent seen le male on fragrancenet tho, and i do wanna be a pimp. lol. thnx for the input, u help a lot.

[kappaz]

tim, you need to do a review on ed hardy love and luck.

[tswetcoff]

ill go check it out, but i wasnt a huge fan of the first one tho! lol

[BestCologneBlog]

love & luck is ok but the new one, just called Ed Hardy, is a big improvment, if anything review that one, i will as soon as I get it.

[kappaz]

Ed Hardy Man is the original one and I'm not a fan of it. It's more suited towards winter. I think love and luck is great. Other than calvin klein eternity, which I haven't tried, I'm a fan of everything listed on tim's top 5 for summer colognes, so I know he would enjoy this one.

[BestCologneBlog]

sorry but Ed Hardy by Ed Hardy is the newest one(2008) and Love and Luck was same year but came out first along with the women's counter-part

[kappaz]

It really doesn't matter, they both came out in 08, but you are wrong with the order.

"Ed Hardy, following their debut perfumes, Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier for Women and Men, have introduced a second her-and-him scents named Love and Luck by Christian Audigier for Women and Men"

"Ed Hardy introduced a sequel to their debut duo of fragrances for men and women called Love and Luck. It is a follow-up to their unexpected success of their original offering Ed Hardy Men & Women."

[kappaz]

"Tattoo guru Ed Hardy will introduce a sequel to their debut duo of fragrances for men and women in December 2008 called Love and Luck. It is a follow-up to their unexpected success at convincing younger consumers that they are the it-brand when it comes to spraying on an edgy scent. Just like the initial two perfumes, Love and Luck will present themselves in strikingly visual packagings, but this time Ed Hardy is trying to reach out to Japanese tastes..."

[BestCologneBlog]

yeah i read it in a magazine but, I think my memory is slipping slowly into senility lol, IM ALMOST 25 NOOO!!!

[tswetcoff]

hey hey, at 25 these years are gonna be the most fun youll ever have!! lol

[BestCologneBlog]

[tswetcoff]

i feel ya mustang i actually have the AC at about 65 degrees rght now haha

[techmanar]

hey tim what do you think of calvin klein euphoria

[tswetcoff]

its ok.. but to me it gets old fast, longevity could be better to, but it is unique so thats always a good thing lol

[Kevinkim7]

What are some good university fragrances

[tswetcoff]

by"university you mean college fragrances kevin?

[Kevinkim7]

ya what is a good cologne for people who are 17-20

[tswetcoff]

generally lighter modern frags like Slate, chrome, allure sport, verscae fraiche, 212 men stuff like that, this is just generally speaking of course every body is unique lol

[LOPS666Orange]

Gotta re-check ur previous videos....IF u haven't could u do a review...it's one cologne i want to get because i heard nothing but good things..but can't find it in my local department stores.....so i will probably end up getting it from fragrancenet..but i need to know what u think about IT....

[stealthpakfa]

[solutionsplease]

[ptitan08]

thanks for the input. Does this one have a nice citrus scent like the Versace?

[ptitan08]

Hey Tim, Great Video! I'm looking to get another cologne to go along with my Versace Men Eau Fraiche, which would you recommend: Sean John I am King or this Banana Republic Slate?
