Top 10 Most Complimented Fragrances for Men (Summer 2019 Edition)
[0:00:00] So, in today’s video, I’m counting down
ten fragrances that are going to get you compliments all summer.
Are you ready?
Let’s do it.
[Music] So, coming in at number ten we’ve got Missoni
Pour Homme.
This is an Italian fragrance inspired by the sunny Mediterranean landscape in which it
was created.
For the top notes, we’re going to see green lemon and grapefruit.
For the middle heart notes, we have ginger.
Now, for the base notes, it’s really woody, we’ve got sandalwood and oak.
So, when you smell this fragrance you can imagine yourself on a boat out on the Mediterranean
during the summer just enjoying the weather and the beautiful sunshine.
Coming in at number nine, we’ve got Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford.
Now, for the top note here, we’re going to see bergamot and we’re going to see two
types of orange.
We’re going to see bitter and mandarin.
Then, sliding into the middle into those heart notes, we’re going to smell neroli and we’re
also going to pick up African orange flower.
Now, for the base note, this is going to be really faint, but we’re just going to smell
a bit of ambrette.
So, this is a very fruity fragrance.
It’s also a unisex fragrance, so your girlfriend may steal this.
But, really, it’s the citrusy smell right here which is going to make this great for
summer.
So, coming in at number eight, we’ve got Dior Sauvage.
So, the top note here is going to be bergamot and pepper.
So, the middle heart notes here are going to be Sichuan pepper, pink pepper, and lavender.
So, for the base notes, we’ve got cedar, labdanum, and ambroxan.
So, the bergamot, the pepper, and the lavender that combination is a great evening fragrance
for the summer for hot weather.
This is something that’s going to smell great.
The only problem I’ve got with this fragrance is it’s so common.
Now, if you’re looking for a unique fragrance, one that nobody else is going to be wearing,
very few people have heard of and takes that lavender and pepper right there on the top
note, you want to check out Zaharoff Signature Pour Homme.
So, this fragrance was introduced in 2018 by my good friend, George Zaharoff.
I’ve known George for almost a decade.
I’ve watched the guy work, he is an artisan.
And true to his word, he traveled around the world, put in the best ingredients.
So, for the top notes, we got fresh cardamom from Guatemala, lavender from Southern France,
black pepper, juicy pear, and blue cypress.
In the heart middle notes, we’ve got ginger root from India, blonde cedar from Virginia,
temple oud from Indonesia, Florentine, pimenta leaves from Jamaica, fir balsam from Canada.
And the base notes, we got creamy sandalwood from Australia, gold patchouli from Indonesia,
black amber, myrrh, and frankincense from Ethiopia.
If you understand fragrance and what goes into this, you understand that there is no
synthetic, this is the best of the best.
This is an artisan’s creation.
And guess what?
If you want a sample, George is giving those away.
I’m going to be linking in the description, so you can go over and grab your free sample.

So, the top notes here, we’re going to have lemon, basil, and citron.
The middle heart note is going to be ambertonic.
And the base note, we’ve got wood, musk, and salt.
Now, this fragrance is all about the beach.
It’s about that salt water type of smell.
You feel like you’re actually near the ocean.
It’s an amazing fragrance especially for a more rugged man.
Coming in at number six, we’ve got Versace Eros.
So, the top notes here, mint, green apple, and lemon.
The heart notes, tonka bean, geranium, and ambroxan.
The base notes, vanilla, vetiver, and oakmoss.
This is one of my favorite fragrances.
The problem is it’s very common.
You’re going to have a lot of guys wearing this especially during the summer.
The top notes are going to be the dominant notes, so that mint that green apple that
lemon, that is going to be the dominant smells from this fragrance.
Coming in at number five, Davidoff Coolawater.
So, for the top notes, we’ve got seawater, mint, and lavender.
For the heart note, sandalwood, jasmine, geranium, neroli.
For the base notes, tobacco, cedar, and oakmoss.
It’s inexpensive and it’s a quintessential summer fragrance.
You think of that seawater mixing with those florals going right into the tobacco, it is
just a classic summer fragrance really you can’t go wrong with.
Coming in at number four, Brioni Brioni.
So, the top note here really simple, we’ve got a strong lemon.
Now, for the heart note the middle notes, we’ve got iris and magnolia.
So, for the base notes, saffron and agarwood.
So, what I love about this fragrance is how simple it is.
Really, it’s about the iris and the lemon.
This is a very citrus-based fragrance that isn’t going to offend anybody.
You could wear it pretty much it could be a default fragrance has a very clean summer
smell to it.
Coming in at number three, Acqua Di Parma Colonia.
Oranges, lemon, lavender, and rosemary with just a touch of musk.
[0:04:59] So, this fragrance is very simple, it’s
great for hot weather.
The citrus fragrances as you can tell, I really like during the summer months.
They’re light, they’re ones that you can apply, they’re not going to feel heavy,
and these smell great even if you’re sweating on a July summer day.
Coming in at number two we’ve got A*Men Ultra Zest.
So, the top notes here are going to be blood orange, tangerine, mint, and ginger.
The heart notes are coffee and pepper.
The base notes, tonka bean, patchouli, and vanilla.
So, for me, this fragrance, you either love it or hate it.
If you like oranges, if you like citrus, you’re going to love this fragrance especially orange.
It is intense orange.
But, if you don’t, then skip this one.
I put it here because I love blood oranges, so, yes, it was high on my personal list.
So, who’s number one on this list?
Well, first, let me lay out three fragrances that did not even make this list because I’ve
talked about them a lot, I didn’t really want to bring them in, I want to bring you
guys something new.
So, Acqua Di Gio Special Blend, I absolutely love this one.
Jeremy Fragrance gifted this to me and it has just become one of my favorites.
John Varvatos Artisan Pure, another one I picked up with Jeremy in London.

So, the top notes here, coconut, lime, orange, and bergamot.
The heart notes, ginger and jasmine.
The base notes, sugarcane, white musk and white rum.
So, I put this fragrance number one on my list because I love blood orange, but I absolutely
love coconut.
And have a house light Creed put coconut as the top note, the base notes I love that they’ve
got rum they’ve got that bit of musk.
