Fragrances That Make You More Confident [0:00:00]
Let’s start things off with two fragrances shown by signs to level up a man’s confidence.
They are Versace Eros and English Laundry’s Oxford Bleu.
But, the question is, why?
What is it about these two fragrances and the ten additional fragrances?
I’m going to lay out in today’s video that levels up a man’s confidence.
Gentlemen, find out in today’s video.
[Music] So, to answer the question, let’s compare
the notes of these two fragrances starting off with Oxford Bleu for top note.
We’ve got mint, green apple, lemon.
For the middle notes we’ve got iris, tonka bean, and geranium flower.
For the base notes, we’ve got vetiver, vanilla, sandal wood, and oak moss.
Now, for Versace Eros on the top notes, we’ve got mint oil, Italian lemon, and green apple.
For the middle notes, we’ve got tonka bean and geranium flower.
And for the base notes, we’ve got vanilla, vetiver, moss, and cedar wood.
Now, if you didn’t notice, these two fragrances very similar.
Some people say that Versace is a bit stronger, more for an evening; the Oxford Bleu more
for the office.
So, looking at the list of notes right next to each other, I want you to focus in on the
heart notes.
What do you notice?
Do you see it?
Notice the iris?
Notice the geranium?
Gentlemen, it’s all about the florals.
This comes out of a 2007 study out of Nara University in Japan.
What they found is that when men were exposed to florals in fragrance, all of a sudden,
their testosterone levels started to go up.
Now, within that same study they tested other notes and the only one that showed any other
effect was musk and this is what happened here.
With musk when men wore this, their testosterone levels went down slightly.
But, more interesting is women, when they were exposed to men wearing a musk, all of
a sudden, their testosterone levels went up.
Their attraction, their aggression, and their arousal all leveled up?
So, in a nutshell, you want to feel better about yourself.
As a man, you wear a floral fragrance, your testosterone levels are going to go up, you’re
going to feel more confident, better about yourself.
And if you wear a musk fragrance, you’re going to feel a little bit more relaxed, but
women around you could be more aggressive, could be aroused more.
And, hey, if you’re going out, maybe that’s what you want to look at.
So, that being said, gentlemen, let me list out a dozen fragrances I recommend that have
floral, musk, or a combination of both.
So, as a reminder, the first two on this list, we’ve got Versace Eros and we’ve got English
Laundry’s Oxford Bleu.
Now, I know a lot of you guys are thinking, Antonio, this is a great list, but how in
the world do I afford to get all of these fragrances?
We’re talking $50 a bottle, $100 a bottle and I just simply want to try to see if it
works for me.
Well, gentlemen, you need to check out Scentbird, the sponsor of today’s video and a company

Next up, we’ve got Prada’s Luna Rossa.
When you read Prada’s description of Luna Rossa, they talk about evolved from the pursuit
of excellence, they talk about innovation, energy.
But, when you go read the reviews, what you see are tons of women saying they love this
on their men.
And, guys, that’s what you want to zero in on.
So, guys, if you’re looking for a new fragrance to boost your confidence around the ladies,
this is the one for you.
And, let’s talk about the notes.
We’ve got orange essence, lavender, clary sage, spearmint, ambroxan, ambrette.
Next up, we’ve got Bvlgari Aqva.
Now, I personally love this fragrance, very clean.
It’s got the floral notes as we talk about boosting up the confidence.
But, it reminds me of the ocean, hence the name.
And let’s talk about the notes in particular.
So, for the top notes, we’ve got mandarin and orange grain.
For the heart notes, we’ve got santolina lavender and posidonia seaweed.
For the base, we’ve got woody notes with amber and sage.
Next up, we’ve got Dolce & Gabbana Intenso Eau De Parfum.
Now, this one has a really nice balance between the floral and the musky scent if you’re
going for both.
So, getting right to the heart notes, it’s got basil and lavender.
[0:04:55] Now, it’s in the base note that we’re
going to see the musky masculine notes of tobacco, bran, and wood.
And, believe it or not, a great fragrance for the office.
Next up, we’ve got John Varvatos Eau De Toilette.
Now, we’re going to see rugged heart notes, but focus on the base notes of leather, wood,
and smoke.
Now, this fragrance is not for the office, this is for the man that wants to come off
as a strong manly man.
Next up, we’ve got Get A Room Confessions of a Rebel.
This is going to be another balance fragrance, it’s going to be dominated by the floral,
but it’s also going to have some masculine scents.
So, the top and medium notes we’re going to see bergamot, grapefruit, and lavender.
And the masculine base notes, we’re going to see white cedar wood and cypress.
Next up, we’ve got Acqua di Parma Colonia and this one actually can work for men and
women.
It is dominated by the citrus and the floral notes.
Now, for the top notes we’re going to see citrus fragrances.
Then, getting into the heart notes, that’s where we’re going to see the florals; jasmine,
lavender, rosemary.
And, what’s interesting about this one is it has a very light amber musk.
Now, I have to admit I really like this fragrance because it’s unisex.
It’s a fragrance that, yes, your girlfriend, your wife may steal, but you know it’s yours
and it makes you feel and look great.
Next up, we’ve got Neroli 36 Eau De Parfum.
So, this fragrance starts off strong with white floral notes to increase your confidence,
but then it’s offset by light musky notes that create a well-balanced fragrance in my
opinion that is going to inspire confidence and make you feel good about yourself.
Next up, we’ve got Jimmy Choo Man Eau De Toilette.
Now, similar to the Neroli 36, we’re going to see the Jimmy Choo Man play out with a
very strong start.
So, we start off with a strong floral, get into a woodsy mid tone and then we transition
into a strong base to maintain a masculine aroma at its foundation.
Next up, we’ve got Clive Christian Original X.
Now, this is an intensely woody fragrance.
Again, notes of wood and musk are the base fragrances and they dominate, but we do see
the musk is balanced out by fruity head notes and a floral head note of jasmine and iris.
And, if you’re looking for some spice in your fragrance, you’ve got it here with
a bit of paprika.
Next up, we’ve got Creed Tabarome.
So, this fragrance is a really interesting story.
Apparently, it was founded by a British statesman who wanted a fragrance that would reflect
his love of brandy and cigars.
But, don’t worry, this fragrance is not going to overwhelm if you go look at the head
notes with floral and fruity scents of tangerine and bergamot.
And, the base notes, gentlemen, that’s what this fragrance is known for, tobacco and leather
musk.
All right, gentlemen.
So, what’s next?
