RV - 11 AMAZING Fragrances You've Never Heard Of
[0:00:00] So, the first fragrance on this list is from
the house of Creed.
And, no, it is not Creed Aventus.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, Aventus is a great fragrance, but I assumed that you’ve
heard of it.
Now, you see, the angle of today’s video is to share with you fragrances you probably
have never heard of that are amazing.
An Aventus Cologne, a lighter brighter more citrus-based version of Creed Aventus almost
made the list.
So, to start things off today, I wanted to bring you the fragrance that’s a little
bit more old school cool.
That being said, I know a lot of you guys want more modern fragrances, so I’m not
going to bring you fragrances that came out in the 1980s.
No, instead, I’m going to bring out something that’s pretty recent.
Any of you frog heads out there, can you guess where I’m going with this?
So, the first fragrance on today’s list, gentlemen, is a 2021 release from the house
of Creed and that is Viking Cologne.
The top notes here are Mandarin orange, lemon, pink pepper, and bergamot.
The middle notes, lavender, geranium, rosemary, sage, and nutmeg.
At the base, vetiver, sandalwood, cedar, olibanum, and patchouli.
So, despite this being the latest release from one of the most well-known fragrance
houses in the world, this fragrance has really flown under the radar.
And a big part of that is because all of the hate that Viking received from Creed fans.
A lot of people are expecting this to be an Aventus killer, it went in a totally different
direction, really old school, a strong aromatic, a bit too spicy for a lot of people.
Next up, we’ve got the house of Tom Ford.
And what I love about this brand what Tom Ford does so well is the way they blend the
ingredients, the way that their fragrances are just so complex and absolutely beautiful.
This one right here, a 2007 release I saw in duty free the other day, I’m like, hey,
I don’t have that in my collection.
Picked it up and, yes, smelt it, citrus, woody, a bit of aromatic.
This is a beautiful fragrance.
But, don’t grab this one because it doesn’t last, but probably a couple hours.
Now, I say that because when it comes to Tom Ford, I think you’re best served going with
his darker heavier richer fragrances.
And he’s got plenty of them if you look in their special blend collection.
I’ve talked about my love for Black Orchid, but let’s bring in one you probably haven’t
heard of.
Now, Ombre Leather, you’ve probably seen, you know, the original EDP.
That’s one been out for a while.
The new parfum, this one you can see in box stores.
I almost slept on this one.
This is a beautiful blend and it came so close to being the fragrance I recommend.
But, I think a lot of you guys are familiar with this one and highly recommended, get
your nose on it.
It is even – it’s better than the EDP.
This one a little bit harsh.
This one smooth, absolutely beautiful.
Now, gentlemen, the Tom Ford I’m going to recommend if you like leather with a bit of
sweetness, check out Tuscan Leather.
I know, this one has been out since 2007, but Tuscan Leather for some reason I resisted.
I saw a lot of people saying, you know, hey, not too hard to wear.
Guys, get your nose on this thing.
For me, it was the raspberries.
They came out so well right there at the top, then you’ve got the suede, you’ve got
the leather at the base.
Yes, like all Tom Fords, it’s a complex fragrance.
Top notes are raspberry, saffron, thyme.
In the middle, olibanum, jasmine.
At the base, leather, suede, wood, and amber.
For years, I skipped on this fragrance.
I heard it was a little bit harsh hard to wear.
Guys, definitely get your nose on this before purchasing, but the raspberries just did it
for me.
And I’ve got a few leather fragrances that I like to wear, this one all of a sudden went
to the top because of the sweetness the wearability.
And nothing against Ombre Leather, that parfum was really close, but this one I think a lot
of people are sleeping on, so that’s why I’m putting it on this list.
Now, at this point, some of you guys may be thinking, come on, Antonio, give me a fragrance
I haven’t heard of that isn’t going to break the bank.
Something a little bit more affordable.
Gents, if you’re looking for a fragrance that’s unique that’s going to get you
compliments, the ladies are going to love it, check out Blue Atlas Atlantis.
Now, the top notes here are bergamot, lemon, and black currant.
In the middle, we’ve got lavender, clary sage, peach, and apricot.
At the base, we have orris, oak moss, violet, ambrette seed, and musk.
Now, gents, you guys know me, I’m always transparent.
Today’s video is sponsored by Blue Atlas.
That being said, I’ve had this fragrance now for probably four months.
I’ve worn it at least a dozen times and I have to say it is a beautiful fragrance.
What I love about this is the unique notes, the peach and the apricot right there.
This really sets it apart and it makes it very attractive.
You’re going to get compliments from the ladies.
Another thing I love about, it’s very versatile.
You can wear this four seasons.
Projection is decent for the first hour one to two feet, after that, it’s going to become
a skin scent.
I do find when I spray on the back of the neck, probably about four to five times in
the chest area, I get about five to seven hours of wear out of this.
It isn’t a fragrance I’m going to pick on my clothing the next day, which I appreciate
because sometimes you want to wear different fragrance the next day and not still smell
it on your clothing.
Now, the bottle uses a pressure sensitized atomizer.
Basically, they spent extra money to make sure that whenever you spray this, you can
actually control the amount that’s being sprayed out.
It also comes in a beautiful package and it even has a fancy magnetic cap.
Seriously, gents, if you want a fragrance that’s going to stand out from the crowd,
get you compliment, and smell amazing, versatile, check out Atlantis by Blue Atlas.

you go over to Blue Atlas.
Now, what about the designer fragrance that nobody’s wearing, nobody’s talking about?
Well, it’s not going to be Italian Love.
This one is beautiful.
I love the grapefruit note.
I thought it was redundant to Forever, but there’s just something, this one’s growing
on me, but it’s not the one I’m going to recommend.
[0:05:00] So, what about Dolce & Gabbana’s 2014 release
Intenso?
Almost made the list.
I love this fragrance.
It’s grown on me and it’s the hay note that really sets it apart.
But, if you’re looking for something that’s an aromatic with a bit of lavender, spicy,
great for the fall, winter, spring, this fragrance, yeah, it was so close to being on the list.
No, the fragrance I’m going to be talking about is not this one, it’s a flanker of
Dolce & Gabbana’s The One, which should be pretty much in everybody’s collection
if you want a sweet winter amber fragrance, absolutely beautiful.
No, the fragrance I’m talking about today is Dolce & Gabbana’s 2018 release The One
Grey.
Top notes are grapefruit, cardamom, coriander, and basil.
In the middle, clary sage, lavender, geranium.
At the base, vetiver, tobacco, patchouli, and labdanum.
So, the best way I can describe this fragrance is it has the original DNA of The One, but
it’s stronger, it’s more vetiver-based.
It’s a clean linen fragrance.
This one right here is going to be better for warm weather.
It’s still deep rich and I think is an incredibly underrated fragrance that nobody else is wearing.
Longevity and projection is solid.
It leans masculine.
And, again, if you’re in a room with a hundred people I can tell you that nobody else is
going to be rocking this fragrance.
Now, what if you don’t want to rock the boat?
You want to stick close to home and you already have gotten your nose on Bleu de CHANEL the
EDT the classic and you love it, but you want something different.
Now, when a fragrance sells really well like Bleu de CHANEL did, they oftentimes bring
in a variation.
They take eau de toilette, which is a concentration anywhere of 5 to 15% perfume oil, mixed in
with alcohol and they say, wait, let’s go with something a little bit stronger, an eau
de parfum.
And that’s where they take 15 to 20% fragrance oil and mix it with alcohol, so a little bit
heavier, a little bit stronger.
Sometimes they mess with the formula just a bit like they did with this one.
But, in this case, the eau de parfum is absolutely beautiful, stronger, a little bit richer,
heavier than the original.
It doesn’t last longer for some reason, but it is – it is really nice.
But, if you watch this video, you don’t want really nice, you want the great stuff,
so let’s go above a 20% concentration, we get a parfum. 25% probably in this case and
I have to say that this fragrance right here is the pinnacle of the Bleu de CHANEL line.
Yeah, the EDT start it all, but the parfum perfected it.
This is going to be the smoothest, deepest, richest.
And if you want to grab a fragrance that is familiar, but nobody is rocking, guys, grab
the parfum.
It’s going to be a little bit pricier, but what you get here is a smoother deeper richer
just absolutely beautiful classic fragrance.
The top notes are going to be lemon zest, bergamot, mint, and artemisia.
In the middle, we’ve got lavender, pineapple, geranium, and green notes.
At the base, sandalwood, cedar, amberwood, Iso E super, and tonka bean.
I’ve seen people just described this fragrance as the perfect scent.
If God were to wear a fragrance, He would wear this one.
I don’t know about that, but I will say that this is a masterpiece absolutely beautiful
fragrance you should get your nose on.
Now, gents, if you’ve ever want a fragrance that is so powerful it sets off smoke alarms,
do me a favor and smash the like button.
Now, say you’ve already got a few fragrances in your collection, maybe you love Dior Sauvage
and this is a solid fragrance especially if you want to attract the ladies, you want to
get compliments.
But, let’s face it, everybody is wearing this one.
Now, if you like Sauvage, but you want something deeper, richer, heavier with a little bit
of licorice note, definitely check out Elixir.
This one is beautiful, but come on, again, everyone has heard of this one.
Now, gents, for this fragrance let’s go back in time to 1966.
See, this is the Sauvage, Eau Sauvage that actually put Dior on the map for men.
Men like Alain Delon loved this fragrance.
Absolutely beautiful, it’s a classic citrus.
But, again, you want something that’s a little bit more modern, then check out 2017
Eau Sauvage Parfum.
Yes, this one was released just a few years ago and nobody seems to talk about it.
It has the classic DNA with a modern twist.
Top notes are going to be citron, bergamot, lavender.
In the middle, Haitian vetiver.
And at the base, elemi.
A citrus aromatic fresh spicy woody fragrance.
This one right here if I had to describe it, a James Bond fragrance, a modern James Bond
fragrance.
And that’s what I love this, they took the classic citrus DNA.
This is going to smell old school, at the same time, it’s not going to smell dated.
100% masculine.
Another great thing most citrus fragrances don’t last, this one has staying power.
Now, what if you want a designer fragrance that’s going to be 0:09:22 and it’s going
to be sweet, it’s going to get you compliments all night long?
Definitely Paco Rabanne’s Elixir is the top of that list.
But, a lot of you guys are seeing this, it’s all over the place and I think it actually
buried a fragrance that was released like a year or two before this one and that is
Paco Rabanne’s 1 Million Parfum.
Now, the 1 Million line in general is going to be too sweet for a lot of guys, but the
thing with sweet fragrances is the ladies love them and if you can pull it off, if you
don’t mind projecting a bit more drawing a few eyes here or there, these are such great
fragrances especially for the young men.
However, the parfum, I think is a little bit lighter especially with that white floral
in there.
And this one is great even if you’re in your 40s or 50s you should check this one
out.
[0:10:04] Now, the notes are tuberose, ambergris, salt,
solar, leather, monoi oil, cashmeran, labdanum, and pine.
Sexy, sweet, yummy.
This one doesn’t have the longevity.
I mean, it still got great longevity, we’re talking probably seven-plus hours, but a lot
of Paco Rabannes, these things last on you for two to three days.
That being said, I like this, this one’s a little bit lighter.
It’s – you still get the sweetness at the same time, it’s not going it’s not
overpowering.
Now, the next fragrance on this list is interesting because it sits there on department stores,
yet I don’t think it really moves that much.
Everyone sees it, but a lot of guys don’t even realize it’s a men’s fragrance because
they see the whole Tiffany & Co.
Now, the fragrance I’m talking about here is Tiffany & Love for Him by Tiffany.
So, this fragrance came out in 2019.
Top notes are going to be Mandarin orange, ginger, and cardamom.
In the middle, we got cypress and juniper.
And at the base, vetiver, sequoia, and sandalwood.
This fragrance has a strong citrus opening, but what’s interesting is the drydown.
I actually like it.
Again, a bit of a metallic note here.
Some people compare this to a fresh version of Bleu de CHANEL and I’m not going to argue.
Look at that EDT.
If you wanted something that’s a little bit less blue something that’s more fresh
with citrus, this may be the fragrance you’re looking for.
What I love about that is it’s incredibly versatile.
You can dress this thing up, you can dress it down.
This is going to be perfect for the hotter weather.
Yeah, just a really nice fragrance.
Maybe the only place it really wouldn’t fit is during the winter.
And, gents, I want to stress, you’re going to see some negative reviews out there, but
just get your nose on this, try it yourself.
And what I find is it’s got a beautiful drydown.
I actually like the citrus opening and there’s just something different.
It reminds me of Hermes, Terre d’Hermes.
That one right there just gets compliments left and right.
There’s something about that fragrance.
The same thing with this one.
Next up, let’s talk about Prada’s 2021 release Luna Rossa Ocean.
I have to admit that I bought this one when it first came out and I wasn’t that impressed.
I guess I was expecting something to do with the ocean, instead what I got was a very versatile
blue fragrance, which, again, I was looking for salty notes, I didn’t expect what I
got my nose on.
But, if you go into this understanding what you’re getting, which is an incredibly versatile
fragrance from the house of Prada, this one, again, is flying under the radar, no one seems
to be talking about it anymore.
The top notes are going to be bergamot, pink pepper, and Artemisia.
In the middle, we’ve got lavender, iris, sage, suede, and saffron.
At the base, musk, Haitian vetiver, patchouli, and caramel.
Like I said, this one has grown on me.
I’ve worn it probably a half dozen times in the last six months and the more I wear
it, the more I just start to pick up that caramel note, so I didn’t expect it from
a soapy clean fresh fragrance with a bit of floral in there, all of a sudden to pick up
that just sweet caramel at the base.
So, for that reason, I got to put this on there, guys.
Get your nose on it, a really nice fragrance.
Now, gents, there are a lot of fragrances in today’s video, I did not have time to
get to, so guess what?
Down in the comments of today’s video, I want to hear from you what are the top fragrances
you actually love that nobody seems to be wearing that gets you compliments?
Guys, I want to hear them down below.
Come on, share the knowledge, share the info.
I’ll get down there and get some hearts.

And, yeah, both of these amazing fragrances I just didn’t have time to cover.
All right, gentlemen.
