Gentlemen, these are the top fragrances from this year. 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 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, do we want to go
with the old classic Acqua di Gio? No, let's move it up. Let's go with the brand new. Now,
again, nothing wrong with the original, although some of you guys may feel it's a bit dated.
What I like about the Parfum, they made it a bit more modern, a little bit smokier. Yes,
they got rid of my favorite Perfumo, but this one is decent. It's not amazing, but I think
it is solid. And who knows? On your skin, it could be amazing. Now, as you can probably
tell, this is not my favorite in the Aqua DG O line. That being said, it's still a great
fragrance. Mass appealing. So many people love it. I did say, hey, get it on your skin. You
may find that it's great. I think it's too close to the original, maybe with a little bit more
pepper and a drier dry down. But, for me, it's going to be the Profondo. But, I bet a lot
of you guys wouldn't like this one. Why? Because the aquatic notes are stronger. And I'm going
to say that probably this one isn't as versatile, hence why I put this one on the list. Next
up, we've got a blue fragrance. Now, blue fragrances feature a very fresh scent category with marine.
ozonic and aquatic accords. And there's a few that dominate in this niche. And what I find
are different houses come in and they create a whole line. Yves Saint Laurent did this with
Y. And they smell very similar. They are incredibly versatile. You can wear them in almost any
situation, but for some reason I think it's just there's something about them that some
people don't like. Other people love them. So, I do recommend because most of these you can
find in box stores. Do get your nose on it, but if you like blue fragrances. You'll find
that they're probably some of the most versatile out there. You can dress these up, you can
dress them down, you can wear them in a wide variety of situations. I would not recommend
buying multiple in this particular line of these flankers because they see there seems to be
a lot of overlap here. And we see that same overlap in the most popular fragrance on the
planet which is Dior's Sauvage. So, if you haven't smelled Dior Sauvage, you probably have because.
So many guys wear this and they wear it for good reason because it gets compliments, it's
a solid fragrance. But it is going to be in the blue category, incredibly versatile, designer.
If you're looking for a slight variation, maybe consider the eau de parfum. I don't think it
makes that much of a difference. It's hard to pick up. The parfum, it is smoother cleaner.
I really do like this one, but I'm not going to make it my number one choice. And as many
of you guys could have guessed, the fragrance I'm talking about is Chanel's Blutist Chanel.
This is the one that started the blue trend. It came out and it was groundbreaking. There
was nothing else like this. And to this day, it is still the OG of the blue fragrances and
is just beautiful. And if for some reason you're like, ah, this thing has been out too long
since 2010, I want something newer, then check out the Eau de Parfum or the Parfum. Either
one of these would be a great substitute. There isn't really that much of a difference. I do
think the Eau de Toilette lasts longer than either one of these, but I do think the Parfum.
So, is a bit smooth, it doesn't have as much citrus. But, if I had to recommend one, I would
go with the eau de toilette. Next up, let's talk about the house of Valentino. This house
doesn't get a lot of recognition, I think here in the United States at least from the average
guy. And part of that may be that you find these mostly in the women's section and when you
do find them in the men's section, all the bottles pretty much look the same. Guys, come on, marketing
departments and these fragrance companies, get it together. But, when it comes to putting
out good juice, their fragrances are solid. Omo right here came out in 2014. this thing
gets tons of solid reviews online. That being said, since 2019, they've been focused on their
new line, They're Born in Roma. So, both of these, the Intense and the Coral Fantasy, these
are good fragrances, they're going to be more geared towards the winter, but they're not
going to be the ones I would recommend that you grab from this collection. Now, Valentino
Omo's Born in Rome Yellow Dream, I almost recommend it because it is a solid fragrance, but and
with a really weird name. What's up with that thing? But, no, I'm going to go with their
original Born in Roma, the one that came out first in 2019 because this one is just so versatile
and is a great really just a lot of people describe this scent as magical. And I also like recommending
this one because it totally flies under the radar to most people. They just walk right
past it and it is a solid pick could easily become your go-to signature set, the only fragrance
that you wear. Now, this next fragrance totally surprised me when I picked it up just a couple
of weeks ago. It's brand new and that is Coach's new. green. I wasn't expecting much from this
fragrance, but I put on a few sprays. One, it had more projection and power than I expected
especially for a green-colored fragrance like this. But, it was the kiwi note at the top.
That's the reason it's on this list because as soon as my wife smelled it, she's like,
man, you smell really good which for a guy that wears different fragrances every day is a great
compliment. Now, don't let the moss turn you off. The moss is actually there for longevity
and helps the fragrance to project which now makes sense. Very attractive. It's an aromatic
just a really nice. And, I'm going to go ahead and show you how warmer weather fragrance.
This isn't something you want to wear during the winter, but I like it because it's exactly
what it is and it's a coach fragrance, so it's relatively easy to find. Now, this next fragrance
house is well known for making fragrances that are easy to wear, mass appealing, and relatively
affordable. And in this case, they did a great job reviving a classic fragrance that most
men have never even smelled. The fragrance I'm talking about is the new release by Mont Blanc
Explore Platinum. Now, for me, this is a floral barbershop fragrance classy fragrance. And
interestingly, it's being compared to Chanel's Egoist Platinum. This is the fragrance released
over 30 years ago. I can see where the similarities, they got very similar notes. Do they smell
exactly the same? No. But, this one I think is actually more modern and mass appealing.
So, for a fall back to school or office fragrance, this is a no-brainer. Now, when you think about
a fragrance that is sweet, sensual, and often has a playful and edgy twist, only one house
comes to mind. Jean Paul Gaultier. 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, this is for you. This one is getting a lot of hype and for good reason,
it's a solid pick. 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 code for you. I've got an affiliate link, so I will make money if you
use that link. But Maxaroma has been kind enough to sponsor this video, so I thank them. And
they've got a great selection of fragrances. I've been picking up dozens of fragrances over
at Maxaroma. And this has actually been for years and so I was very happy to get this deal with them and to point out that these guys what I love is their shipping. And if you're looking for a sample
you don't want to sign up for a subscription, they've 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. Next up, let's go over to the house of Dolce & Gabbana. I want to talk about
and I want to talk about Italian love. Now, one thing I didn't like about this house did
is release both of these fragrances within a year of each other because they're very similar.
Both of them have an excellent very realistic grapefruit opening. That being said, if I had
to choose one and they were the same price, I'd probably go with Italian love. I think
it has a better dry down a little bit more versatile. That being said, you're going to find forever
at discounters now, so you can get a really good deal. Smell them both. They're usually
both going to be in. box stores. But, that grapefruit opening, gosh, it is so amazing and it really just wakes you up if you've got an early morning workout. This could be the perfect fragrance to get you conditioned
to just going out there and getting that run getting that lift on. Now, in the deeper richer more amber side heavier side, you've got The One. And to this day, so many other deep heavy rich
fragrances have come out, but Dolce & Gabbana The One is still such an easy recommend to a guy just starting his collection. And you're going to see they've got this one, it's an intense version.
but it really isn't that intense. I would go with the original or the eau de parfum. The
eau de parfum is going to have a black top, but most likely when you are shopping on Sephora,
you're just going to find the original. That being said, again, if you look around you can
find better deals at discounters. Next up, we've got the House of Prada. And when it comes to
powdery fragrances, this house rules. You want something soft, you want something with a bit
of iris, lavender, these are going to be the fragrances you want to pick up. Now, the two
fragrances I'm holding right here, we've got the new Ocean EDP. we have the old ocean which
actually isn't that old just a year ago, the EDT. Now, don't let the name fool you, neither
of these are really oceanic fragrances. I mean, seriously, even the regular ocean Luna Rosa
really doesn't smell like the ocean. There aren't really any oceanic notes. The EDP is going
to be heavier, richer, that vanilla and with the amber. The EDT on the other hand is going
to be fresher. It's still going to have a bit of sweetness, but it's not going to have that
same longevity of eight hours, you're going to get maybe six out of this. That being said,
if you can get past the name, either one of these would be a great pick. And what about
a fragrance that doesn't seem to have any scent, but still people pick up that you're wearing
something. You for some reason smell good especially to the ladies. Gentlemen, that is Molecule
01 by Eccentric Molecules. Now, gents, when this one came out about 15 years ago, it blew
people away because it uses isoe soup. That's basically the only note here. For some people,
it smells like a woody smell. What it usually does is amplify other fragrances. So, you have
a natural smell. This is just going to make you smell a little bit better to those. Now,
this fragrance I do not recommend for conditioning, but if you are someone that wants to wear a
fragrance because you want to smell good around others, but you don't want to smell like you're
projecting really anything, but your natural odor because you naturally smell good, well,
this would be the one to check out. Next up, let's talk about the fragrance I'm wearing
today. Now, my wife knows I'm big into perfumes, I'm constantly wearing and testing different
ones, but rarely does she ask me, wow. are you wearing? Especially after I was running. Now,
I picked up this fragrance with my own money about three years ago and initially, I was
lukewarm to it. And that's not because I don't think highly of Parfums de Marley. In fact,
anyone that watches any of my other fragrance videos, you know that Carlyle and Leighton,
I constantly rank in my top 15 winter fragrances. But, see, that's the thing. I was used to Parfums
de Marley being heavier stronger fragrances that you would wear in cooler weather. I mean,
Leighton, you could definitely wear it on a cool summer day. Carlyle, though, this is going
to be reserved for the colder months. That being said, if you were to force me to choose one
parfum de marley fragrance that I would recommend blind buy some guy grabbed and most likely
he's going to love it, it would be Percival. This is a masculine. classy scent that's incredibly
versatile because it reminds people strangely of a fragrance that was super popular in the
1990s, Amber Carambi and Finch Fierce is the one I'm referring to, but they improved on
it by giving it a bit more longevity and projection. Next up, let's talk about the House of Paco
Rabanne. So, if you want a bottle that screams for attention, this is going to be the house
that you want to check out. A lot of people consider this stuff to be tacky. I think that
it's a great marketing ploy because people are talking about it. And, really, you know, in
a crowded market, they're doing a decent job. That being said, there's one in particular
that flies under the radar. That fragrance is Paco Rabanne's Phantom Parfum. 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 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. 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, what if you want a fragrance that feels a bit more niche? Something that is going to
be heavier, deeper, richer, a bit of spice, then check out Victor and Rolf's Spice Bomb.
Now, you're going to see that there are tons of flankers of the original Spice Bomb, but
the original is still in my opinion. one of the best options out there. You can go for
the extreme version which I have. And I do understand that it is going to be stronger, a little bit
deeper, richer vanilla. But, I still love the original. Now, some people are going to argue
the night vision version of Spice Bomb and I've got both the eau de toilette and the eau de
parfum was their equivalent was their idea of a fresher greener fragrance. But, for me, yeah,
you've got apple notes in this and it's a bit sweeter, but it still is a heavy powerful fragrance.
that I wouldn't recommend for most men in the summertime. And the infrared which we're going
to see is the flanker with the red and I know they just came out with a new eau de parfum
that's going to be stronger very similar to the original eau de toilette which I have here.
This one is going to have more of a spicy a little bit more of a cinnamon note in it and
that's why I think this one is perfect for the winter. All that being said, if you're relatively
new to fragrances, I'm not going to recommend starting off with Spice Balm, but if you've
already got four to five in your collection, you want something different for the majority
of fragrances out there, check them out. Next, the House of Hermes, known for sophisticated
understated fragrances that are popular among stylish men valuing quality over flashiness.
That being said, if you haven't heard of Hermes or you just want one fragrance that pretty
much is the go-to in their line, you need to check out Teredemes. This one is a masterpiece
fragrance. It's got this dirty orange note. Now, don't let that fool you. This thing is
a complement monster. So many guys don't even think to ever pick up this fragrance and when
you do, you're going to have the ladies coming out of the woodwork giving you compliments.
And, by the way, if you've got a story related to receiving compliments, I would love to hear
it in the comments below. Now, of course, no fragrance list at RMS would be complete without
mentioning Tom Ford. As you guys know, I think he makes some of the sexiest fragrances out
there, but he also makes some incredibly versatile ones. And that's why I'm going to bring up
great. vetiver. This one right here, I love it because it doesn't scream for attention,
it is masculine, it's strong, it is classic, it is timeless. That being said, if you want
something that's more summer oriented, check out the Costa Azura line. So, either one of
these and you can find both of these at discounters. This one is just going to be a little bit weaker,
this one posts a little bit stronger. I cannot really smell much of a difference. I would
maybe because I'm looking for it, this one does last a little bit longer, but this one you
can find at such a steeper. discount, so I'd probably just grab the eau de parfum. It gets
the job done. In any case, the smell, imagine walking through a forest next to the Mediterranean
about ten minutes after you ate a lemon. You got a little bit of that taste in your mouth,
you can smell it all coming in and absolutely beautiful. But, for the majority of men that
want a signature fragrance that isn't afraid to be masculine and strong, I'm going to recommend
the latest Ombre Lev and I feel it's relatively smooth. The one before this, the Eau de Parfum,
it was a little bit harsher. This one I just find is smoother. And if you're not familiar
with leather fragrances similar to tobacco, to oud, these are going to be harder to wear.
But, if you smell this and what I like, you can find these in a lot of box storage. You
get your nose on this, you like it, you could easily make this. So, I'm going to go ahead
and show you your signature fragrance and I would highly recommend this if you wanted to
grab one fragrance, especially for cooler weather, doesn't get too hot in your area. That being
said, don't blind buy and, again, you really need to want a fragrance that is going to have
you stand out from the crowd. Now, this next house I would say is one of the best deals
out there. The house I'm talking about, Versace. Now, let's start things off with one of the
most versatile offerings, Dylan Blue, clean, sexy, versatile with good longevity. And sticking
with that bottle design, let's go to the original, the Poor Old. Now, in my opinion, this fragrance
is really underrated. It's going to get lot of compliments. The only issue I have with
it is I don't think it lasts that long unless you're wearing it in hot weather, then it will
start to project. But, if you want something with a bit more longevity with more of an aquatic
scent to it, something that is almost magical, check out Versace's Manifresh. A citrus aromatic
woody fragrance with a bit of fruit, this fragrance has a bit more of an uplifting energizing just
really friendly and, again, I would say magical, probably one of my favorites in this entire
line. Oh, and on a side note, Apparently, the ladies love this one. Now, at this point, some
of you guys are probably saying, Antonio, could you have made this simpler just one fragrance
to rule them all? Well, boom, I got you covered right here with the one fragrance that rules
them all.
