2022 Top Fall Fragrances For Men [0:00:00]
So, let’s start this list off with a modern masterpiece from Tom Ford. Released in 2015, I’m
talking about Noir Extreme, a beautiful complex masculine fragrance. This has solid longevity,
good projection, and is perfect for the fall. Top notes are cardamom, nutmeg, saffron,
Mandarin orange, neroli. In the middle, we’ve got kulfi, rose, mastic, orange blossom, and jasmine.
At the base, vanilla, amber, sandalwood. Delicious, this is a gourmand fragrance that
isn’t over the top and I think any guy can pull off. That being said, I know why a lot of guys
don’t own this, it’s simply expensive. But, get your nose on it, see if it’s worth it to you.
And they did come out with a brand new version, the parfum. That is actually very similar,
not too much of a difference. If you already own this, I wouldn’t go out and grab it. But,
if you do find that parfum, you can get a sale, you can get a deal on it, definitely pick it up.
Now, I almost put Tom Ford’s Oud Wood on this list. This is an amazing fragrance.
Great one if you haven’t gotten your nose on it. But, it came out in 2007,
fifteen years ago. I wanted to keep a log of the fragrances on this list a big fresher, once that
have come out in the last couple of years. That being said, I am going to bring in some
older fragrances especially ones that help you save some money. Oud Wood, absolutely beautiful,
but relatively expensive. Our Noir right here by Versace,
you get a very similar smell. You get to smell the oud, a good job, but doesn’t last as long.
That being said, it’s a fraction of the price. All that being said, the fragrance I want to
highlight next is Versace Eros EDP. Released in 2020, this is a refined version of the EDT.
It’s got great longevity, solid projection, and the ladies love it.
Top notes are going to be mint, candy apple, lemon, Mandarin orange. In the middle,
we’ve got ambroxan, clary sage, and geranium. At the base, we’ve got vanilla, sandalwood,
cedar, patchouli, leather, and bitter orange. Now, if you already have the eau de toilette,
don’t grab the eau de parfum, unless you really like a nice candy apple opening with that bit
of mint. But, the vanilla really is going to make this redundant and that’s what this is,
a vanilla bomb. But, again, it is sweet, it is going to draw in the female crowd.
Now, I know some of you guys are saying, “Come on, Antonio. I don’t wear the fragrance for
the ladies. I wear them for myself. I like to smell good and I’ve got an unlimited budget.”
If that’s you, then check out Tabarome Millesime by Creed. Top notes are tangerine and bergamot.
Middle notes, ginger. Base note, tobacco, sandalwood, ambergris, leather, and patchouli.
Now, for me the citrus in the opening has gone pretty quick on this, but that tobacco
the sweetness, the spice sticks around and it’s, oh, so gentle. A beautiful fragrance that, yeah,
is masculine strong and perfect for the fall. That being said, Tabarome Millesime has been
out for over twenty years. Let’s talk about something just came out from Creed,
Viking Cologne. So, I really like this one. It’s going to smell like an old school barbershop.
The top notes here are Mandarin orange, lemon, pink pepper, and bergamot. In the middle,
we’ve got lavender, geranium, rosemary, sage, and nutmeg. At the base, vetiver,
sandalwood, cedar, olibanum, and patchouli. Now, you may be asking what’s the difference
between Viking and Viking Cologne? If you haven’t smelt either, definitely get your nose on them.
Viking is going to be stronger. Viking Cologne, lighter more citrus,
maybe a bit stronger with the vetiver. This one right here, I just find actually
the ladies like it a bit more. And it’s just easier to wear than the Viking. That being said,
Creed fragrances in general are relatively light, so make sure that you’ve got a fat wallet
and you don’t mind lighter fragrances. But, what if you’re the complete opposite,
you don’t have a fat wallet and you want strong fragrances that stick around? You
need to check out the house of Paco Rabanne. So, first up, let’s talk about Invictus Victory.
Released in 2021, this is going to be a more polarizing fragrance. In general, I find Paco
Rabannes are going to smell more synthetic. But, if that doesn’t bother you, if you’re younger,
you want something that really projects and is in a great budget you can find on sale,
definitely check out Victory. Top notes are pink pepper, lemon.
Middle notes, lavender, olibanum. The base we’ve got vanilla, tonka bean, and amber.
Now, this fragrance has great longevity and good projection, but you’ve got to like vanilla and
you got to like a bit of spice. This is going to make your nose itch a bit if that’s your thing.
And, again, what I like about this is you can find this at box stores all over the place.
You can try it and see if it’s yours. Next up on this list, we’ve got 1 Million
by Paco Rabanne the Parfum. Now, you need to understand there’s tons of options out there.
There is the original, there is the Prive, there is Lucky, there is the new Elixir.
This one is a bit different. If you want something a bit ligther, still has sweetness to it,
but it’s – to me, it’s the floral at the top. Now, the notes are tuberose, ambergris,
salt, solar, leather, manoi oil, cashmeran, labdanum, and pine.
Now, in my experience, it’s a linear fragrance with good projection,
good longevity. But, again, it’s going to be those florals, the cleanliness at the top of
this one with the sweetness that makes it unique and in my opinion perfect for a warm fall day.
Now, gents, if you’ve ever over sprayed a fragrance, I’m talking you put too much on,
you’re choking people out, you’re setting off fire alarms,
do me a favor and smash that like button. Seriously, guys, when you engage with these
videos, you smash that like button, you let the YouTube algorithm know, hey, this video is
worth watching and I know to create more like it. All right. So, moving on from Paco Rabanne, I know
some of you guys are like, hey, I don’t want a whole lot of sweetness. I want something that’s
more refined, something that is higher end, something that is well-blended.
[0:05:04] Yeah, nothing that smells synthetic,
I want just an amazing fragrance at a decent price. Where can I find something like that? Go
to the house of Givenchy, tons of options there. But, let’s talk about one of their more recent
releases and that is going to be Reserve Privee. Now, this is a 2022 release, part
of the Gentleman line. This is an eau de parfum and is a beautifully blended fragrance definitely
for the gentleman, the more refined guy You want something that’s going to work in the
fall, in the winter, and even in the spring, this is a go-to. Could easily be your signature scent.
Now, the top note is going to be bergamot. Middle note, iris and chestnut.
The base, whiskey, wood, and amber. Now, drawn with the simplicity of those
notes for you, this thing is a modern masterpiece. It’s really a beautifully blended fragrance and
a lot of people compare it to maybe Dior Homme, I’d say that, yeah, I can see with the iris note,
it definitely has a little bit of that lipstick smell, but the chestnut the wood
in here is definitely noticeable and stronger. This is its own unique fragrance, what you would
expect from a house that’s well-established like Givenchy. Hmm, yes, absolutely beautiful, refined,
high class. If you want to wear something with a suit in the fall, this could be it.
Next up on this list, I’ve got two fragrances from well-established houses
that are a little bit dirty. Let me explain. So, first up, we’ve got Terre d’Hermes and this
is from the house of Hermes. And this is going to be the – what is it? The Eau Intense Vetiver.
Vetiver as a note, this is a grassy note. You’re going to see Haitian vetiver, all different types
of vetiver. But, it just smells like earth and oftentimes it is paired with earth notes.
And you’re going to find that this is just a little bit, it’s not dirty, but it is sour.
It is something that if you like the original Terre d’Hermes, this one is just going to smell
a little bit darker, a little bit richer. Still, it’s got the classic Terre d’Hermes opening,
the sour orange, kind of almost the rotten orange, which is not as bad as it sound.
Again, if you’re in, you know, the house of Hermes, you’re traveling through maybe
an airport and you get your nose on this, definitely check it out.
Now, the original Vetiver by Guerlain, this one has been around for a long time. You’re
going to also see Intense. Intense as just actually stronger as the name implies. But,
this one right here has other notes as well, but if you want to get your nose on
a really classic Vetiver, this would be the one. That being said, if you want something brand new,
something that just came out, something that’s very challenging and has those earthy notes,
check out Bvlgari’s Terrae Essence. Now, the top notes here are citron,
calamansi. The middle notes, vetiver, orris. At the base, we’ve got earthy notes and styrax.
Now, straight up I’m going to say this is a challenging fragrance. I’ve actually picked up and
worn this multiple times in duty free stores just because it’s unique, it’s something that no one
else is going to be pulling off. But, you’ve got to make sure to try this one before grabbing it.
That being said, if you love it if it works with your skin, you’re going to
have something that nobody else is wearing. Now, gents, if you haven’t figured it out yet, I
love fragrances. Seriously, I have collected hundreds of bottles over the last few years
and one thing I’ve noticed is how you can smell something and it evokes a memory,
an emotion. It makes you feel a certain way. Literally, you can smell something and it can put
you in the zone, so that you feel more confident, you feel more competent. You are on your game.
Now, wouldn’t it be cool if somebody was actually making fragrances that help you be able to
leverage the science of scent? Well, guess what, guys? We did that over at Mission Fragrances. And

Now, gentlemen, back to safe fragrances that are going to get you compliments the
ladies are going to love, check out 2020’s Le Male Le Parfum.
Now, if you’re familiar with any of Jean Paul Gaultier’s fragrances,
you’re going to know that they’re sweet, you’re going to know that these are definitely ones
that have power. You put this thing on, it’s going to last all day. And projection is beast mode.
And that makes a lot of sense when you look at the notes. At the top,
we’ve got cardamom. In the middle, we’ve got lavender and iris. And at the base, we’ve got
vanilla, oriental notes, and woody notes. Now, if you’re old enough to have owned the
original formulation of Le Male back I think it was 1994, then this one is
probably going to remind you of that. That’s what tons of people are saying out there.
I never got the original formulation, I will say that this is stronger than the, you know,
the main one that’s being sold the Le Male. And it’s similar to Ultra Male, but that doesn’t
feel as candy sweet. It’s actually just much more refined and I really do like this one.
And it must have been a trend, taking an older fragrance and putting it out calling it an eau
de parfum, which they did with Armani Code right here. And it’s very similar to the original that
was put out, well, like twenty years ago. But, this one right here, again, is a banger,
it’s solid. [0:10:09]
Now, I’m not going to say go out there and get the Jean Paul Gaultier and this one because they’re
both very strong with vanilla sweeter fragrances. But, if you’re in a store and you get your nose on
this and you like it, definitely grab the EDP. It is really just a nice fragrance and, again,
everyone saying that it smells just like what the original did years ago before the reformulated
it and made it weaker. This one is stronger. Top notes are lavender, lemon, bergamot. In
the middle, we’ve got tonka bean. At the base, we’ve got vanilla, suede, musk, and cedar.
Now, let me correct myself, it is not that similar to the Jean Paul Gaultier because, yes, with that
citrus opening, with the tonka bean, but for me, the vanilla is strong on this, it’s strong on the
other. And I think for someone that’s just getting started, you probably don’t want to grab both of
them unless you’re a collector like myself. Next up on this list we have Montblanc’s 2020
release Legend Eau de Parfum. Top notes are bergamot, violet leaf. In the middle,
we’ve got wood, jasmine, magnolia. At the base, oak moss and leather.
Now, let me be clear. The fragrance I’m talking about is the eau de parfum,
not the eau de toilette. The eau de toilette came out a decade ago. It’s not as strong,
but you can find it probably at half the price, so I don’t know, maybe spray a bit more on.
Both of these fragrances are awesome of the fall, incredibly versatile. And if you know
your fragrances, you know that these are a clone of Abercrombie & Fitch’s Fierce, which dominated
the late 1990 malls and is a solid just crowd pleasing fragrance that just has DNA that works.
Now, I did promise you guys some fragrances that are under the radar, a little bit older. So,
I am going to throw Platinum Egoiste in there. And this one is just, yeah, if you can imagine,
you know, Lord of the Rings middle earth Legolas just traveling, you know, when he’s fighting.
I don’t know, it’s just something it’s cold, yet it’s masculine, it’s classic, timeless. You can
wear this thing, yeah, in middle earth or you could wear this just simply down to the bar
with your friends and nobody is going to be pulling off this fragrance.
And if you look around, it’s relatively inexpensive at discounters. Today, though,
I am wearing, can you guess it? Paga – Pegasus Exlusif by Parfums de Marly. Absolutely,
a beautiful fragrance. A little bit dirty with the oud in there.
That being said, I like it even better than the original Pegasus. If you want a Parfums de
Marly just to start off with that is going to be a crowd pleaser and, again, has awesome projection,
which you pretty much get from this entire house, projection longevity, Herod is a solid option.
And, you guys know, I mean my favorite is Carlisle in that collection.
We’ve also got right here, what is this? Yeah, the original Layton, which is a solid
entry of the apple at the top, beautiful. Guys, if you want to learn more about niche
fragrances from YouTubers, did you ever see the video I did right here? I broke out almost 50
YouTuber fragrances. You want to go check out this video. I had a lot of fun putting it together.
And these are going to be niche parfums, you know, eau de – eau de toilettes. You guys,
tripping my – my tongue here. Go check out this video, it is awesome and I
think one of the, yeah, it’s a solid video. If you want to find the best YouTuber fragrance,
which I know sounds like an oxymoron, right? [0:13:09] End of audio
