Alright gents, the goal of today's video is to help you find at least one fragrance that when you
wear it, you're going to smell amazing. She will never forget you. Gents, scent is primal.
It has a direct path to the brain and the right fragrance can create desire. So, what's the
right fragrance? Well, gents, there are tons of options out there. In today's video, I'm
going to narrow it down to less than a dozen. In fact, gents, let's make it simpler. If you
just try two of the fragrances I'm going to talk about in today's video, I guarantee you're
going to get compliments. you are going to turn heads. Now, to be honest, gents, about half
the fragrances on this shelf right here are complement monsters. That being said, there's
one in particular that flies under the radar. That fragrance is Paco Rabanne's Phantom Parfum.
Now, starting at the top, we've got the notes of cardamom, bergamot, lemon, and rhubarb.
In the middle, lavender, patchouli, cedarwood, and geranium. And at the base, vanilla, balsam,
and haitian vetiver. Now, it's important you don't confuse the parfum with the original.
Obviously, the parfum is coming in a black bottle. And nothing against the original, it's an interesting
release, but it was much more polarizing because I don't think the notes mixed as well. With
the parfum, it's deeper, richer, spicier. We've got a nice vanilla mixed in with the lavender
with a bit of a kick. And, I think that's the key to the, bit of spice. That being said,
with the vetiver with that wood, it's not overly sweet and it has a nice earthy tone that makes
it masculine. And I've said this before, but I'll say it again, don't get hung up on the
Phantom Bottle. A lot of people think it's tacky, you know, it is what it is. It's actually a
decent sprayer, so the juice is solid. And, by the way, on that shelf as I mentioned, there
were some other bangers of, you know, One Million Royale or going with the original One Million.
Jean Paul Gaultier scandal whether it's the EDP or the, you know, the EDT. My point is
I know a lot of you guys have your personal favorites, so if I don't mention it in today's
video, guys, put your favorite fragrance in the comments below. Now, that last set of fragrances
is going to be attractive to women because it's sweet. In general, women do like sweeter fragrances,
but men in general like fresher cleaner fragrances. And guess what? That is going to be the next
category we're going to talk about. Now, when it comes to fresh and clean fragrances. this
is one of the biggest categories for men because it's one of the best sellers. And to fill this
next spot, I'm going to go with one of the best-selling fragrances since 1994 made by Giorgio Armani.
And you guys guess it, yeah, that's Acqua di Gio. Now, there's a lot of Acqua di Gio's here.
And you could easily go with the Eau de Parfum which I think is absolutely beautiful. You
can go with Profondo Lights, you could go with Profondo. But, I'm going to go with the brand
new Parfum. Now, starting at the top of the Parfum, we've got Marine Notes, Bergamot. in
the middle rosemary, clary sage, geranium at the base, patchouli, and alabanum. Now, if
you read the reviews on this one, some people are saying it's a cash grab, it was the same
thing as profumo, which is now discontinued. It is going to be a bit smokier, it is going
to be a bit stronger and deeper than the original 1994 Aqua Di Joe. And when it comes to getting
compliments from the ladies, some of you guys are going to say, well, Antonio, what you said
absolute is the sexiest Aqua Di Joe. And I agree, it is going to be the easiest one for most
guys to wear. And if you spray a little bit more on, get the larger bottle, it does a decent
job projecting. Still, I think some of you guys may be wondering why is this one on the list
when there are some better options out there that are more attractive? Well, this one I'm
putting on the list not because it's attractive to women, but because I think the guys absolutely
love this one and it's going to give them more confidence. Seriously, this is a signature
worthy scent. And if you condition yourself, every time you get out of
all of a sudden this is going to be your liquid confidence, your go-to fragrance that just
makes you feel like a million bucks. And that, gentlemen, is what the ladies love, a man that
feels good, smells good, and is confident. Now, this next fragrance is sometimes mistakenly
put in the women's aisle. It's a unisex fragrance, absolutely beautiful though from one of my
favorite perfume houses and that is going to be Killian's Angel Share. The top note on Angel
Share is going to be cognac. In the middle, we've got cinnamon, vanilla, and sandalwood.
So, as you can tell, I've jumped right back over to deeper, richer, heavier, sweet fragrances.
In this case, this one is what's known as a gourmand. What's a gourmand? In general, these
are sweeter fragrances that have food notes. So, we're going to see chocolates, we're going
to see cocoas, we're going to see vanillas, things that almost smell like something that
is edible. And really quick, that boozy note as a guy that doesn't drink anymore, I have
to say it's very realistic. I absolutely love it. That's one of the reasons I love the house
of And if you know spirits, you know the name, Killian. It's the same family. And I love how
realistic they were able to make these alcoholic smells and almost all of their fragrances.
Now, really quick, let's talk about when a fragrance is unisex. A lot of times this turns a guy
off. Guys, understand fragrances are all unisex. If it's a man's fragrance or a woman's fragrance,
that's just marketing. Seriously, a guy can wear whatever he wants. And I will tell you
that every man has the ability to find the fragrance that works for his own skin chemistry. of guys
don't trust themselves, which is a mistake. Simply try the fragrance on and see if you
like it or not. If you like it, then it's a good pick even if it's a unisex fragrance.
Now, gents, if you want to grab this fragrance and you want to get the best deal on the web,
down in the description of today's video, I'm linking over to Maxaroma. I've got a discount

Maxaroma has been kind enough to sponsor this video, so I thank them. And they've got a great

happy to get this deal with them and to point out that these guys what I love is their shipping.

got five mil samples of some of the most popular fragrances out there. But in any case, if you're
looking for any of the fragrances I talked about in today's video, go over to Maxaroma and find
the fragrances you are looking for to smell good, to smell amazing. And women, I'm going
to be talking Well, yeah, you better believe they're going to remember you. Now, what about
the fragrance I am wearing today? Well, it's a blue fragrance and I'm going to reveal it
here in a second. But really quick, let's talk about what are blue fragrances. So, Blue de
Chanel is the one that started this. And when they came out with Blue de Chanel, it changed
the industry. It's a masterpiece fragrance and at the top, we're going to find grapefruit,
lemon, mint, and pink pepper. In the middle, ginger, nutmeg, jasmine, and isoe super. At
the base, incense, vetiver. cedar, sandalwood, patchouli, labdanum, and white musk. Now, if
you look around, you're going to see there's an eau de parfum and there is a parfum. For
this video and for most people just getting into fragrances, there isn't that much of a
difference. So, I would just go with the EDT, you're going to be able to get a better deal
on it. But, let's get into the reason why when this fragrance was introduced over a decade
ago, it was so groundbreaking. The answer is the complexity of the notes, the versatility
of the fragrance, and just how crowd-pleasing it is. And it really ISO E-SUPER which is a
synthetic wood note that just gives this just an overall feeling of depth of presence and
it projects very well. This is a compliment getting monster. And even though it's a common
fragrance, I find that still tons of men have never smelled it never worn it. And women love
this because it's familiar, it's beautiful, and it is probably the most on this list. But,
seriously, gents, if you disagree, if you got something to add, if you've got a fragrance
that gets the attention from the ladies, let us know in the comments below. That being said,
I want to bring up another common blue fragrance that's much maligned and I'm not going to tell
you to get the most recent one even though everyone's touting it. It's a great fragrance. And, I'm
talking Sauvage if you haven't figured it out. So, the Sauvage Elixir, a very nice fragrance,
but a bit too polarizing. Get your nose on it before you ever buy this one. this is like a punch to the face. Now, the EDT is one of the best selling men's
fragrances in the world. And I'm not going to recommend it for this video. I think it's great, but there are some other options in this same line.
Now, the EDP doesn't get a whole lot of love. A lot of people don't – it's a solid pick, so if you find the EDP on sale, check that out. But, I'm going to recommend you pick
up the Parfum. The Ambroxan is mixed very well. It's a beautiful fragrance. It's deep, it's
richer, yet it's not a punch in the face like the Elixir. Now, on the Sauvage Parfum right
at the top, we've got bergamot, mandarin orange, and elemite. In the middle, sandalwood. At
the base, albanum, tonka bean, and vanilla. You'll notice the ambroxan is not listed as
a note. It's in there, but it's very well blended. And that's what I like about the parfum. You're
going to pay a little bit of a premium compared to the EDT or even the
those three right there. It's very different than the Elixir, but a beautiful fragrance
that because of that ambroxan is going to get you compliments and because it's so well blended,
it's I don't think it's going to be as headache-inducing as the EDT. Now, the fragrance I'm wearing
today is a blue fragrance that has been out since 2019 and flies under the radar. A lot
of people think maybe it's a little bit pricey, it doesn't have great longevity. But, if you
just love the smell of a blue fragrance, need to check out Tiffany and Love by Tiffany & Company. Now, at the top of Tiffany and Love for Him, we're going to see mandarin orange, ginger, cardamom. In the middle, cypress, juniper.
And at the base, vetiver, sequoia, and sandalwood. Now, I see this fragrance being put in the same category as Bluedish Chanel, but it smells for me distinctively different. They are not the same,
although they can be in the same category. I think it's unique. I think it's beautiful. I know a lot of people complain about longevity.
Some people feel it's overpriced. But, I'm of the school of thought, if you buy a 3.4-ounce
bottle of fragrance, that's 1,400 sprays, even if you spray a fragrance on four times a day,
that is going to last you an entire year. And that takes me to the point of wearing a fragrance
and getting noticed. Even if it doesn't project a lot, put a little bit more on, that way you
get the compliments. I know a lot of guys are scared of choking somebody out. If somebody
complains, I guess get out of the space. But, you want to be picked up especially if you're
wearing a fragrance because you want to get compliments. There's nothing wrong I think
with putting on a little bit more unless you are in an enclosed space, then come on, be
careful, be considerate. So, any of you guys fan of Jesus and the Mary Chain's song Just
Like Honey, if you like honey as a note, Killian, Gold Night or Smokin' Hot or Amazing, but I've
already talked about Killian. I'll bring up another house though, Jean Paul Gatier. Talked
about them briefly, but this is their new Elixir. So, the vanilla is the most prominent note.
And, vanilla again is going to be a gourmand, that's why the ladies love it. This one is
incredibly strong. And that honey note is there and once you know to smell for it, it's freaking
amazing. This is a solid pick. And what I love about this is it is just sweet. It can be a
little bit too chlorine meaning that this is a fragrance that some people in hot weather
you just don't want to wear. Other people just feel it's too sweet for a man. But if you like
these type of fragrances, you're going to love it. This one is getting a lot of hype and for
good reason, it's a solid pick. Now, one of the problems with that Jean Paul Gaultier elixir
is it's not the easiest to find and you're going to have to pay full retail. But there are tons
of fragrances that have been out for years that are solid picks if you're just getting into
the game. This one has a special place in my heart. It's I think the special edition with
the camouflage there. But this is Spice Bomb, the original by Victor. and Rolf. Now, this
fragrance is special to me because the company sent it to me and initially just sat on my
shelf at the time. I wasn't really big into fragrances. I think it was 2016 or something
like that. I gave it to my son, he started wearing it. I was like, damn, he smells good. My wife
absolutely loved it. And so, when I started doing videos, I grabbed it and I brought it
here to the office, although he would occasionally steal it. But, it just reminds me of me getting
into
is a banger, is going to get you compliments. A lot of people don't like the night vision,
it's more got an apple note to it, maybe a little bit more synthetic. But, if I had to recommend
one especially for the holidays, check out the new EDP. You can go with the regular infrared,
but the EDP I think is a bit smoother and is incredibly beautiful. And what's great about
spice bomb fragrances is they have that spicy note to them that just tingles the nose and
these are the fragrances that turn heads. Now, the top notes here are going to be cinnamon.
chili pepper, pink pepper, in the middle chili pepper and leather. And at the base, we're
going to have resins and woody notes. Now, again, to be clear, I love all the spice bomb fragrances.
And if you forced me to choose one, I probably would have gone with the extreme or the regular.
But, I wanted to make this list a little bit interesting. This is a newer one that's come
out, so get your nose on it. These are not safe blind buy fragrances. That being said, get
your 5-mil sample over at Max Aroma or walk into a store, you know, Sephora and just simply
smell it. if you like this fragrance, I can tell you this is one of those fragrances that
gets you noticed. It is a bit nuclear, so you don't need to put too much on this, but this
will be one that when you walk by, she's going to turn ahead she's going to say who smells
great. And that right there is an important point that I want to hit on is when you wear
a fragrance, you get noticed. And, again, you don't want to overdo this. It's a balancing
act. But, so many times you walk by people and you're busy you're in your own thoughts and
you're not thinking. you're breathing. We're always breathing. So, if you smell something,
if somebody smells amazing, you can't help but look over. And let's face it, most guys don't
smell like anything. They're like a football team, they're playing all defense, they shower,
they wear deodorant, but they have no offense. So, if you just have a little bit of offense
and you grab her attention, she's like, oh, yeah, I don't know that guy's name, but he
always smells good. I like to walk by his cubicle. I like simply to be in his vicinity. Every
time he walks by, I'm wondering, you know, he's the good smelling guy. I don't know his name.
That's not a bad reputation to have. I think it was Nudie Cohen. He was a Las Vegas tailor
and Ukrainian immigrant. He said it's better to be looked over than overlooked. And I love
that because you want to get noticed because you can always even if you're like, wow, you
put a little bit too much on, you can at least you started the conversation, right? Gentlemen,
so what fragrance did I completely leave off this list? Yes, I know I left off Creed Aventus.
Tierra de Mez, this one I love. This one is it flies under the radar, gets so many compliments
from the ladies. So, what video to watch next? Well, gents, I got you covered with this one
right here. Boom, check it out. Oh, yeah. And, yeah, click right there. Come on, magically,
you will go to the next video. Yeah. Okay, come on.
a little longer. It's so good.
