﻿22 Men's Fragrances you must try in 2022 [0:00:00]
The first fragrance I think every man should try this year, Aramis or maybe Quorum. Kourus wouldn't
be a bad choice. And Jules, this is a great one that most men don't even know about. If you're
on a tight budget, Jovan Musk. If you've got a little bit more to spend maybe Antaeus by Chanel.
Now, gents, what do all of these fragrances have in common? Well, the answer is they're strong,
masculine, green, woody, a bit of musk. These are fragrances that are
going to put hair on your chest. Now, most these fragrances were
released over 40 years ago and that's a great thing because guess what? You’re
going to find them at rock bottom prices. Jules, this one re-released in 2016. It's based
off an older fragrance. The point I'm making is these are fragrances your father rocked,
your grandfather rocked. If you could imagine Tom Selleck, Burt Reynolds,
these are the kind of guys that were pulling off these fragrances when men, yes, weren't afraid to
just be themselves be a little bit louder. And that's what I love about these
fragrances, when you walk into a crowd, you are going to set yourself apart from all, yes,
the boring just modern fragrances out there. [Music]
Now, some of you guys are probably watching this thing, “Come on, Antonio. Don’t talk about the old
stuff. Talk about modern fragrances.” Okay. So, let's talk about a clean
fresh dumb reach, upgrading that H24 by Hermes. Absolutely love this fragrance.
Four season fragrance you can wear this at any time any place. It is just going to smell great
and what you would expect from Hermes. And if you smelt this and, you go like,
you know what? That metallic note, a little bit too much, not for me. Then,
look to the classic, Hermes Terre D’Hermes. This one right here is a beautiful scent.
And this one the dirty orange is a little bit too much for you? Then,
go for the fresh. This one, going to be a little bit cleaner, it doesn’t have the dirty
orange. It’s going to be fresher at the top. Both of these are going to get you compliments.
Every Hermes fragrance is going to get you compliments. Those are really just
understated elegant fragrances that I think every man should get his nose on.
So, what’s a clean fresh modern dumb reach that’s a little bit more affordable? Check out K by
Dolce and Gabbana. Now, you’re going to see out there. The EDT, I think is decent. A lot of people
say, oh, it doesn’t last super long, then grab the EDP, they’re very similar fragrances. One a little
bit deeper richer, but what you would expect from an EDP. Both of these are going to be great
for the office. These are not going to offend anybody, just really nice dumb reach fragrances.
What about a modern fresh dumb reach that’s a little bit sweeter? Then, check out Yves
Saint Laurent’s Y line. I love almost all the fragrances in this line except maybe
the EDT. I think it could be stronger. Hence, they came out with the EDP. But, right here,
the Le Parfum is really nice deeper, richer. This one has got a really nice apple note at the top.
That being said, if you can’t find the EDP out there, I do think that this is a better deal. It’s
pretty much the same fragrance in my opinion. But, if that apple note is not your cup of tea,
check out the live, this one right here, the – what is this? The EDT
Intense. This one actually has decent longevity and it’s actually has an orange blossom top note.
So, it’s a little bit, yeah, just different than that apple. I like all of them. So,
go check them out, put your nose on them. You can find these at most,
you know, fragrance stores around the world. All that being said, this assumes that you
already own the king of dumb reaches, which is Prada L’Homme. I know tons of fragrance
reviewers have talked about this and I have to agree quality ingredients. This is a beautiful
powdery lavender iris, just a great fragrance. And if you want something a little bit fresher,
check out the Splash Water. This one – or Water Splash. Point being is this one actually you get
a pretty good bottle and this great in hot weather if you want this four seasons.
That being said if you can’t fine L’Homme or you can’t find at a decent price,
check out this other Prada. This is going to be the original Luna Rossa. Coming out I think 2012,
this one right here has that lavender notes. It’s not going to be as powdery, it’s not going
to have the iris notes, but still, it’s a little bit greener than this one right here,
but just as versatile and a great deal. If you – and, again, you can
find this one out there all over the place. Now, if you’re watching this video and saying,
“Antonio, why can’t you make this easy? I mean, you’re talking about
all these different fragrances, I want to keep it simple.” Well, guess what?
I’ve done that with my Mission Fragrance set. I’m going to link to it down in the description.
We’re not selling them right now, but you can get on the early bird list for our next launch.
This set right here, I designed with the idea of the science of scent, basically giving you
the fragrances that you need that invoke the emotions that I think every man should
be thinking about – honor, courage, commitment. The core values of the United States Marine Corps
and the Navy. I embody them in fragrances. These three fragrances right here complement
each other. So, if you want something to dumb reach, something that you can wear four seasons,
I’ve got that right there in Courage. If you want a fragrance that’s more designed
for the summer for, you know, wearing to the office, that’s going to be Honor.
If you want a fragrance that’s going to be deeper, richer, perfect for the winter, perfect for a
date, that is Commitment. And the best part about this, again, it comes in a beautiful display set.
Everything you need right there in a starter set. So, guys, if you’re interested in the Mission
Fragrance project, check out down in the description of today’s video. I’m
going to link over to it. We talk about the science of scent, it comes with a full on course.
It is – we go deep into fragrances. But, if you’re just getting started and you want a starter set,
we’ve got you covered with that as well. [0:05:07]
Now, guys, with these fragrances, we’ve got limited availability. We
do that because there’s a course that you have access to. We want to make sure you
can run through in a classroom environment that you get amazing customer support.
So, if you’re at all interested in the Mission Fragrance set, use that link in
the description of today’s video to sign up, so that you get notified when they go on sale.
The next fragrance type I think every man should get his nose on this year,
gourmands. A lot of guys stay away from this and they’re like, “You know what? I don’t want
to smell like chocolate. I don’t want to smell like coffee. I don’t want to smell like food.”
But, here’s the thing. When you ask the ladies when they smell this on a guy,
they ab – literally they’re like, “I just want to get close.” It makes them hungry. Yes.
So, one of the best houses to check out is Mugler. And, A*Men, their classic. This one right here
chocolate. It set the tone. Chocolate had never really been used as a note before in mainstream
fragrances and when this hit the market on the ladies’ side, they loved it. On the men’s side,
they wanted to eat the guys up. Let’s just say chocolate is not your thing,
you’re more of like a Cuban cigar kind of guy, Havane, check it out, great one right
there. Or maybe you’re like – which one is this? I always get them. Tonka, we’ve got
Tonka. It looks just like – what is this? Malt. So, whether Tonka and Malt were actually very
similar. Point being, if you want something that’s creamy, something that’s rich, something that just
makes you smell delicious, check out gourmand. Now, if you’ve got a little bit more money to
spend and you like alcohol mixing in with that gourmand, check out Kilian, a beautiful house.
Their fragrance is second to none especially when it comes to gourmand’s alcohol base fragrances.
So, Black Phantom. This one right here absolutely love it. Chocolatey, rich, it is, yeah, just a
beautiful fragrance. Now, the price, a little higher than normal, but in my opinion worth it.
Speaking of alcohol, let’s talk about apple brandy. Again, Kilian,
this is going to be a great house for alcohol smelling fragrances. Vodka on the
rocks and the other great fragrance from Kilian. But, this one right here, my absolute favorite
from the house and it’s just unique, smells amazing. As the guy that doesn’t drink anymore,
this makes me want to go grab an apple brandy. Now, something a little bit more affordable,
it’s not going to technically be a gourmand, but it does have that alcohol boozy note.
And that’s going to be Carolina Herrera’s Privee. This one right here deep rich, great for the
winter for the fall maybe on a cool spring day, I, yeah, this one right here is really nice.
Now, what if you want to add a fragrance that’s unique and support your favorite YouTuber. Well,
guys, I’ve got a whole bunch of YouTuber fragrances here and I’m going to recommend what I
think are some of the best from their collection. So, first up, Ash over at Gents Scents. If
you haven’t checked out his Jet Black and this is in partnership with Michael Malul,
this is a really nice deep rich. It’s got great longevity, just a beautiful fragrance.
That being said, if you’re like more into old school stuff, you like Creed’s Bois du Portugal,
check out Mr. Smelly, Dan, his Gravitas. This one he came out with I think it was two years ago.
I, and, again, I bought this with my own money. They are amazing solid fragrances
and this one is going to be, you like old school fragrances, this is where it’s at.
And what about the YouTuber that started it all? Jeremy Fragrance and his fragrance One
company. Okay. So, Office is good. Date, a little bit too sweet for my taste. Unisex,
decent actually it’s I think it’s better than Date. But, my favorite is going to be Black Tie,
absolutely love this fragrance. Maybe it’s the cardamom, you know, down – this is woody
citrus fragrance that I absolutely love. It’s unique and, yeah, just beautiful.
And, again, it’s the uniqueness and the fact that it smells in my opinion
really, really good. It has great longevity, my favorite in the collection.
And let’s not forget Steven over at Redolessence. At the house Navitus, they have put out a ton of
fragrances over last couple of years. Two of my favorites that Steven put out, they were in his
original line. We’re going to have Primas, this one. Just nice citrus strong, great longevity,
perfect for the summer warmer months. And then, we’ve got Virtus. This one
reminds me of Carlisle by Parfums de Marly. An amazing deep rich scent.
And sticking with the house of Navitus, let’s talk about Buck over at Big Beard Business. I like all
of his fragrances, but this one right here in my opinion was the best, Exalt Nuit. Dark, rich,
beautiful, deep, just has great longevity staying power. My favorite in his collection.
Now, I pay attention to the comments, I know some of you guys ask me about Eric
over at Beardbrand. You’re like, “Hey, he’s got some great fragrances and they are unique.”
What I love about what Beardbrand did is they said, “You know what? Let’s take our
four vices line. Let’s take our old money line and we’re going to actually have a fragrance
that complements all of their Beard Balms all of their other products.
They all smell like I thought this was really smart, they haven’t pushed the fragrances too
hard, which is too bad because their Temple Smoke is my favorite and is an
amazing smell. And, again, what I like about Beardbrand is it works with all of their
products, so you can check out that company. Go check them out. I’ll put a link to them down
in the description. Great company. Good friend of mine. I actually have a business with him an
investment company and he’s just a solid dude. [0:09:59]
And speaking of a great guy that’s got an awesome set of fragrances that, yes, were inspired
by some of the top sellers out there. We’re talking about Aaron Marino aka Alpha M. Rebel,
easily his bestseller inspired by Creed Aventus. But, if you want something like Green Irish Tweed,
go check out King. Solid fragrance. A solid, you know, very similar to it. If you want Hero,
that right there is going to be Acqua di Gio based off that one. Tobacco Vanille, very expensive Tom
Ford fragrance. Check out his Villain. Now, I mentioned that Rebel smells like
Creed Aventus and if you’re watching this video and you don’t know what Creed Aventus is, let’s
just say it’s been in the last decade, this has been one of the most dominant men’s fragrances and
I really think is going to define what fragrances smelt like in this particular time period. In 20,
30 years, it may be a dated fragrance. But, for right now, I highly recommend if you
haven’t smelt the original, do that. Now, people are going to argue every batch is different yaddi
yadda. Point being is I think it’s important to have an idea of what the original smells like.
And I know a lot of people that, yes, own the original and then, guess what? They go
out and they buy that cheap copy of it, you know, Explorer Montblanc is maybe not cheap, but point
being is they’ve got something out there, Club de Nuit Intense Man, a very good copy except for the
fact that it’s even stronger than Creed Aventus. I know tons of people they wear this. I do think,
though, that smelling an original fragrance and getting idea for those notes is key.
Now, if you want something a little bit lighter, cleaner, and still very similar to Creed Aventus,
check out the cologne. This is not just the lighter version of Creed Aventus, it actually is a
different fragrance, you kow, it feels how would I say? Just, yeah, it’s going to have more freshness
at the top. It’s going to be lighter overall. And that being said, if you want to you really
like Creed and you want to try something different and one that got overlooked, check out Viking.
This one came out a little bit after Creed Aventus, people thought it would be an Aventus
killer. It was just something different. If you like something a little bit more classic
old school, this is, yeah, just really nice. Now, gents, if you’ve ever worn an expensive
fragrance that just did not have the longevity you wanted, do me a favor, smash that like
button. Seriously, let’s – let’s commiserate, let’s have solidarity in fragrances that my
goodness, why don’t they make them stronger? Now, let’s talk about fragrances that are going
to challenge you, unisex fragrances. Fragrances that may be a bit too sweet, have a unique note
like truffle, chocolate. This right here, Black Orchid by Tom Ford, one of my favorites.
A very challenging fragrance. I didn’t expect to like it. It is easily in my
top three of fragrances that I just absolutely love. I probably, you know, if I had to choose
three fragrances, this would be one of the ones I would grab off the shelf.
That being said, this Tom Ford Noir Anthracite is just a little bit too much for me. This one
for me I do get the cigarette ashtray that some people have said, other people are like, you know,
this is the most masculine manly fragrance I’ve ever smell. It really depends on the
person. That’s what you’re going to find about all these list videos is that it’s really subjective.
Now, if you’re on a tight budget, a fragrance that you can explore that everyone raves about,
I think is decent very unique, Encre Noire. They have the extreme and you have the regular version.
I don’t really notice too much of a difference. I would say that I love though that these can be
found at discounters at a rock bottom price. And although this one usually can’t be found
at a rock bottom price, it is something that if you look around, you could fine samples in most
fragrance stores. That’s going to be Replicas by the Fireplace. Really, a unique scent,
smells exactly like they say. And, yeah, if you want to smell like a warm fire
without all the, yeah, all the heat all the work that goes into it, boom, you got it right here.
All right, gents. What did I miss? What would you have added to this list? Fragrance that nobody
talks about, maybe Dolce & Gabbana’s The Grey or maybe a fragrance that everybody is talking about,
Sauvage Elixir. Let me know in the comments below.
That being said if you want to try a couple of fragrances that have great longevity, Gucci Oud
Intense. And if you want nuclear stick around power, check out Marc Gebauer’s Air Tiger.
Seriously, this fragrance lasts days. The shirt I wore that I sprayed it on, I had to wash
three times to get the smell out. That being said this fragrance smells great.
I love the sex appeal, very animalistic. So, what video to watch next? How about the
sexiest fragrances known to man? Or at least is known to me. I put them in a video, guys,
for you right here. Go check it out, solid video. You’re going to have women jumping
all over you or guys if that’s your thing. Whatever, guys, check it out,
good video. I’ll see you in the next one. [0:14:20] End of audio
