Long Lasting Summer Fragrances [0:00:00]
Notice how you can see the back of my camera in this one.
You can definitely tell which way the wind is blowing.
Mmmm...this one is beautiful. This is a nice fragrance
All right, gents. Let’s start things off with the cheapest beast mode summer fragrance
out there, Cool Water by Davidoff. Seriously, three sprays you’re going to
get eight hours. Five sprays, ten plus hours. Seven sprays, you’re going to be smelling
this the next day.
Now, one of the things I love about Davidoff’s Cool Water is they have a whole lot of flankers
out there. If you want something that’s go longevity, but a little bit heavier on
the melons on the fruit, check out Cool Water Wave.
If you want something with more oceanic notes, check out the properly named, Ocean Extreme.
And the price, cheap. I could drop one of these bottles right now, but I’m not going
to because I like them, but point being is they’re inexpensive.
The downside, it’s a very common DNA. This is a very popular fragrances, but now for
a long time and a lot of guys are wearing it.

All right, gents, hold on. I know some of you guys are thinking, “Antonio, you just
did a summer fragrance video.” True, but this video is different. In this video, I’m
talking about long lasting summer fragrances. I mean, Versace’s Man Eau Fraiche, love
it, but this is not a beast mode fragrance. This thing, you’re only going to get maybe
five hours.
Now, we don’t want none of that weak stuff. In today’s video, gents, every fragrance
I’m going to talk about last at least seven plus hours.
And this one right here, eight plus hours, Sauvage by Dior. This is a usual suspect.
You see it on a lot of list and for good reason. This is a strong fragrance. And I’m not
talking about the parfum or the EDP, the EDT is actually where it’s at.
Now, bergamot and pepper are the dominant top notes. In the middle notes, we have even
more pepper with Sichuan pepper, pink pepper, lavender, vetiver, patchouli, geranium. The
base, we’ve got labdanum, cedar, and of course, ambroxan.
Now, a lot of people rag on this fragrance because it’s so common. But, what you can’t
complain about is longevity. This stuff lasts. And another big plus, the ladies love it.
Now, what about a fragrance that’s less common? In fact, you’ll be in a room and
nobody else is going to be wearing it, but you will get compliments because it smells
fresh amazing. Check out the Scent of Peace by Bond No. 9.
Top notes are pineapple, juniper berry, and bergamot. The middle notes, currant buds.
Base notes, cedar and vetiver. Aromatic, woody, fruity. This fragrance smells amazing and
it has staying power, seven plus hours.
Now, some of you guys are saying, “Come on, Antonio. I’m on a budget. Give me something
inexpensive that smells amazing in hot weather and lasts.”
Well, guess what? You’ve got a classic here from 1994, which a lot of guys still do not
pull up an amazing fragrance Japanese. We have Issey Miyaki’s L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme.
Now, the top most prominent note in this fragrance is yuzu. If you’re not familiar, it’s
a sour citrus and it smells absolutely amazing. And also has the quality that it lasts a long
time. You’re going to get eight plus hours with three to five sprays.
Other top notes are going to be lemon, bergamot, lemon verbena, Mandarin orange, and cypress.
Middle notes are going to be blue lotus, nutmeg, lily of the valley, saffron, and geranium.
Base notes are cedar, sandalwood, vetiver, musk, tobacco, and amber.
Inexpensive and, yes, guys in their 40s and 50s know about this. But, if you’re 20 years
old going to a pool party and you want a fragrance that’s going to set you apart, smell sophisticated,
and great for summer and lasts all day, boom, you’ve got it right here.
Next up, let’s get aquatic. And I’ve got two from the house of Bvlgari. First up, Aqva
Amara. Top notes are mandarin. Middle notes, aquatic and neroli. Base notes, olibanum and
patchouli leaf.
This is a beautiful citrus aquatic with a bit of a metallic synthetic note to it that
actually isn’t bad. The only issue with this fragrance is I believe it’s discontinued,
so it’s expensive and harder to find. So, with that being said, check out this other
fragrance from Bvlgari, Aqva Atlantiqve. At the top, we’ve got aquatic notes, bergamot,
lemon, and sage. Middle notes are sea notes, ambergris, and apple. Base notes, benzoin,
amberwood, patchouli, vetiver, and sandalwood. So, if I were to classify this fragrance,
it’s an aromatic aquatic citrus with amber. And this right here is a unique fragrance.
It’s – it is a blue fragrance, hence, I mean, the color makes sense. But, we also
think it’s an aquatic. It’s a mixed between an aquatic and a blue in a really nice set.
And, gents, I need to say in hotter weather, 90, 100 degree plus weather, this is where
this fragrance really shines. Now, of course, this would not be a summer
list without an Acqua di Gio. Now, I’m putting Profumo in here, but to be honest, I could
have put Profundo. I didn’t want to put the original because the original lasts maybe
five hours. Profumo, because it’s a bit deeper has an incense , this is going to get
you seven to eight hours.
Some people don’t feel it’s a little bit too dark for the day. I think it’s perfectly
fine. But, Profundo, if you want something little bit more aquatic is a great recommendation.
Well, but I only get about six to seven hours from that one.
Now, most of the fragrances I’ve talked about so far have either been a citrus or
an aquatic. There have been a few aromatics. But, there really haven’t been any sweet
aromatics. That’s why I’m bringing in Yves Saint Laurent Y and this is the EDP,
not the EDT. Don’t go with the EDT, incredibly weak.
The EDP, they did great. This is going to get you seven plus hours with three to five
sprays.
Top notes are going to be apple, ginger, and bergamot. Middle notes, sage, juniper berry,
and geranium. Base notes are amberwood, Tonka bean, cedar, vetiver, and olibanum.
What I like about this fragrance is it’s readily available. You can walk into a store,
you can try it. And if you want to smell great, again, the ladies are going to love this.
This is a crowd pleasing fragrance. It’s relatively common, but not that common. And
that’s why I like it, that’s why it’s on this list.

Really quick interrupting my video because I want to let you know about my project over
at Mission Fragrances. This is a new fragrance line I’m coming out with, which is unlike
any fragrance line out there. So, as I was learning more about fragrances,
I’m right-brained, I come from a science background. I kept reading all these studies
about how fragrances would affect your mood, how they would affect the way that you saw
things, that would give you more focus. They would actually, you know, loosen you
up, they would actually make you more relaxed. And I’m like, what if you could hijack this?
Because a lot of us we put chemicals in our body. I’m not talking about drugs, but I’m
talking about simple things like coffee. We’re talking, you know, I drink a lot of
coffee, but I don’t like drinking it in the afternoon because I don’t like the way
it makes me feel. But, what if there were fragrances that would make you more focused,
more alert in the afternoon without you having to put something in your body?
Or there were fragrances that could actually remind you you could condition yourself, so
that you will be more committed to getting done what you want to do. So, losing that
40 to 50 pounds that you committed to earlier in this year and you’ve already dropped
off on.
What if you could put on a fragrance before you go to the gym that would actually commit
you that actually would make you remind you that you need to go to the gym? That’s what
I’m talking about, fragrances that you could put on that would help you feel better, would
help you perform better and that there’s data behind this.
You could condition yourself to become the man you know yourself to be with the right
fragrance. Well, this is what I’m doing over at Mission
Fragrances. If this sounds at all interesting, down in the description of today’s video,
I’m putting the link over to my early bird list. I’m not going to spam you. I’m going
to send you updates whenever we’re coming out with this fragrance, that way you get
the best deal.
You know when we’re coming out. We’re going to release only a set number and I want
to make sure you’re on that list if you’re interested.
Guys, you’re going to be able to save money, you know, because we’re going to charge
a lot more once it’s made public. But, this is going to be for the guys that really want
to be part of me on this journey, I’m going to go ahead I’m going to update you, I’m
going to let you know what’s going on.
So, again, guys, in the description of today’s video, click on that link, find out more about
Mission Fragrances. Sign up for our early bird list.
Now, this next fragrance has really been looked over and in my opinion is the best summer
offering by Parfums de Marly and that is Galloway. Top notes are citruses and pepper. Middle
notes are orange blossom and iris. The base notes are musk and amber.
Now, no breakout may sound really simple, but don’t let it fool you. This is an amazing
fragrance and I also like that it lasts seven plus hours.
Gents, if you’ve ever put on a fragrance and say, damn, that stuff smells great, and
two hours later say, damn, where did it go? Guys, do me a favor and smash that like button.
I mean, seriously, Creed, come on. Make this stuff stronger.
Now, this next fragrance is an absolute summer beast. We’re talking ten plus hours from
three sprays. I also like that it’s really niche fragrance. You can pretty much be guaranteed,
you’re going to be the only guy in the room wearing this.
The fragrance I’m talking about right here is Navitus Parfums Vivamor. If you can think
about it, this is a mix between Creed Aventus and BR540. Both of them, expensive, very respected
fragrances and somehow they were able to bring together its sweeter than Creed Aventus. It
lasts a heck of a lot longer and it’s just a beautiful combination. Again, if you don’t
mind comparisons like that, this is well worth trying.
And another beast from Navitus Parfums that lasts ten plus hours and is great for the
summer, check out Primas. Now, what about some more affordable something
you can smell in your local store, check out Versace Eros Flame. So, some people are going
to say this is not a summer fragrance. I think it is. Why? It’s a citrus aromatic.
Yes, it’s got that vanilla note in there. It’s a sweeter fragrance, but three sprays,
this is going to last you eight to nine hours. Five sprays, yeah, this will last you all
night. And, again, this is one of those DNAs people recognize. Versace Eros has been around
for a while.
This is the newer release, the flanker. But, I still think that this one is unique enough
and just perfect for the summer. That top apple note just – just beautiful. It’s
a great scent.
And, of course, no long lasting list would be complete without Dior Fahrenheit. Gasoline,
leather, a bad boy in a bottle and guess what? He lasts all night long.
So, what video to watch next? How about my top summer picks? I promise, this is different.
These aren’t going to last as long, but they are the fragrances I’m wearing this
summer. What are they? Find out, gents, in this video
right here. [0:09:10] End of audio
