TOP 10 Fall Fragrances Every Man MUST Own [0:00:00]
And which one of these colognes is my favorite fall fragrance? Find out at the end of this
video when I reveal the fragrance I’m actually wearing.
[Music] First up on the list, we’ve got Bvlgari’s
Man in Black. To me, this is just one of the perfect fall fragrances because it’s so
warm, it’s just something that wraps around you. Why? Because it’s got the rum, got
a little bit of tobacco in that top note. We’ve also got spice.
And when I say spice, we’re not talking pepper or anything, it’s just there’s
something about it that just tickles the nose. It’s just something that fits – it stays
also, this is going to last about six to eight hours at least. It’s not going to project
a whole lot, so that’s great if you want something that’s not going to scream that
you’re walking into the room. Now, the middle note, leather, I think is
really strong as well and the base of the tonka bean, this right there is going to sit
around and after two to three hours, that’s really all you’re going to pick up here.
But, I just absolutely love this fragrance, a great one to start this list with.
Now, if you like the idea of Man in Black, but you want something let’s say a little
bit more smoky, you want something with more incense a little bit more leather less on
the spice, then you want to check out Issey Miyaki’s Nuit d’Issey.
So, this one has been around for a while, absolutely love this fragrance. Some people
are going to say, “Ah, it gets a little bit of synthetic vibe.” I don’t get that
at all. I find it’s just really smooth fragrance. Another fall fragrance that’s just going
to hit it out of the park. Now, if you really like the rum note, you
want a boozy fragrance, you want to be a sexy pirate, this is the fragrance for you, Bentley
for Men Intense. That top note, rum, it’s not actually the top note when you spray this
on, you get a little bit of bergamot, but that passes quick. That rum note is going
to be the dominant note. We’ve also got some incense, a little bit
of wood, leather, but those are all going to play second fiddle to the rum note here.
Just a really nice warm embrace. And speaking of warm fragrances, I’ve got
to have on this list, Dolce & Gabbana’s The One. Yes, it’s a fragrance many of you
guys have seen on many lists out there, but it is still a classic warm fragrance.
What I love about this one, yeah, you get a little bit of grapefruit on that opening
note, but it passes really quick. You get into the ginger, you get into that tobacco,
but the amber note is going to be dominant. I love this. This is great for the fall, winter.
You can even pull this into the spring, but this is definitely a cooler weather fragrance.
Now, at this point, you may be saying, “Antonio, those other fragrances sound a bit dark. I
want something more universally clean, something I can wear to the office, not offend anyone.
At the same time, I want something unique.” Then, you need to look at the woody floral
musk that is Burberry Touch. This is a work horse fragrance. I talk about it because you
can also wear it in the spring or even the summer, but I think it works best as we’re
changing temperatures. And what I love about this is the violet leaf.
That’s going to be the dominant note. And it’s different than violets, it’s not
as harsh, so it’s not going to give a gasoline type smell that you can have with violet.
Also, the musk is going to be very strong, so on the base there, we’ve got white pepper.
And I think that white pepper mix with the violet leaf is a really nice top and middle
note. This is just an amazing fragrance. If you’ve never smelt it, you need to try this
one. Another fall favorite is going to be F by
Ferragamo. This can also work in the spring, but for me this is going to be warmer weather
fall. So, a nice day, it’s going to be 70 degrees, 80 degrees. One of those Indian summer
days, this is what you’re going to be wearing, just absolutely beautiful.
And for me, it’s going to be that top note of lavender mixed in with the apple, at the
same time, a little bit of spice, got a little bit of pepper in this thing. You also have
amber and just a really nice clean fragrance, one of my favorites.
Next up, we’ve got Mercedes Benz Man. And what I love about this is the opening. I love
that pear note. It’s actually dominant throughout most of the fragrance. When you do get the
drydown, you get a bit of musk, a little bit of oak moss in there, but really it’s, you
know, a light musk. And that’s why I really like this fragrance
because if you’re familiar with Abercrombie & Fitch’s Fierce, which is great fragrance,
this epitomizes the late 1990s. Anytime you walk through a mall, you probably smelt this.
Some people said it’s got too much of a musk drydown. What’s nice about this is
it doesn’t. For me, it’s a clean modern interpretation of that classic and that’s
why it’s on this list. Now, guys, if you were to go out and buy all
the fragrances I’m talking about in today’s video, you could easily pay thousands of dollars
retail. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a company out there that will allow you to
date a fragrance, test it before you commit to a full bottle?
Well, guys, that’s exactly what today sponsor Scentbird does. They make it easy for you
to be able to find the perfect fragrance for you. Personally, my favorite part of Scentbird
is the discovery process. Actually, getting fragrances that I normally wouldn’t have
selected for myself, but I’m like, “Ah, they recommend this. I’ll go ahead and give
it a shot.” So, TUMI Unwind, TUMI Awaken. I never even
heard of this fragrance house. Tried this, I’m like, “Wow, I really like this.”
And all of a sudden, I got done Dunhill Icon Elite. I already had Dunhill Icon and I’ve
got Dunhill Racing, both great fragrances, but I hadn’t tried the Icon Elite. I absolutely
love this fragrance. John Varvatos, I got the Oud, never tried
this fragrance. I love Oud for fall, so John Varvatos Oud is a great selection. Or maybe
I wanted to get Dark Rebel Rider, another great John Varvatos fragrance.
But, they’ve also got some really high-end fragrances. So, if you’re looking for anything
from Clive [Christianson?] like Rock Rose or maybe 1872 Masculine, those are both going
to be amazing fragrances carried by Scentbird. [0:05:02]
And, let’s talk about House of Amouage. My favorite Amouage fall fragrance is going
to be Braken Man. This is an aromatic fragrance. It just blows me away how beautiful fragrance
this one is. But, here’s a thing with Amouage fragrances
if you’re not familiar. They are incredibly expensive. And that’s what I love about
Scentbird is I’m able to try, you know, here are some of the other ones. So, I have
Honor Man, Journey Man, I had Fate Man, Interlude Man, Imitation Man. I got to try all of these
different fragrances at a fraction of their cost.
Another fragrance house I’d never tried before Scentbird, English Laundry. I absolutely
love their fragrances. Throne is really good, but if you haven’t tried Riviera or Oxford
Bleu, both of those are amazing as well. So, how does Scentbird work? First, you’re
going to go to the website and you’re going to find the fragrance that you want. Next,
you receive their fragrance in the mail enough for a full month. We’re talking about 140
sprays. Step three, adjust. Maybe you like the fragrance,
maybe you didn’t. But, in any case you can give feedback and you can adjust what fragrance
is going to come to you next. And, guys, if you don’t like the service,
you can cancel at any time. And every fragrance you receive is 100% authentic. You can order
more than one fragrance at a time if you so choose. And, free shipping with every order.
So, to get started with Scentbird, I want you to use the link down in the description
of today’s video. That’s going to ensure you get the best deal out there on the web.
Next up on the list, from the House of Creed, we have Original Santal. This is one of those
fragrances not a lot of people talk about. And if you don’t like sandalwood, you’re
probably not going to like this fragrance. But, as a guy that actually absolutely hate
dupe, I found that this was a lot more tolerable. And, in fact, I learned to enjoy it and it’s
just so different from any of the other fragrances I have. It’s perfect for fall.
Now, if you like that sandalwood note, but you want something a little bit more masculine,
manly, you want Royal Oud. So, the name implies oud, but oud is not actually the dominant
note. To me, it’s cedar. It’s that wood note that’s going to dominate here.
This has an amazing drydown. Initially, you’re going to get a bit of citrus at the top, but
that goes by really quick. There is a bit of animalistic, so there is a little bit of
musk here, but that sandalwood is going to be stronger in my opinion than the oud. We’re
also going to get a little bit of pink pepper. A spicy really nice fragrance if you like
that type of thing. Another sandalwood fragrance that goes in
a very different direction is going to be Taberome Millesime. What I like about this
one is it’s got this green tobacco smell. So, I’m not talking about smoky tobacco,
I’m talking about aged tobacco leaves. And they do this by bringing the ginger in
with the tobacco. Initially, you got a little bit of citrus with that ginger a little bit
stronger, but it does meltdown into that just really smooth just a really nice fragrance.
Now, that last fragrance by Creed, a lot of people have actually said it’s similar to
this one right here. And that’s because of the ambergris. So, you are going to find
amber in this fragrance right here, but this fragrance right here, Bleu, mysterious. This
is actually a four-season fragrance. What I love about Bleu de CHANEL is that this
is incredibly versatile. Now, you can see there’s three options out there. You can
get the parfum, you can get the EDT. Right here, I’ve got the EDP. I feel it’s a
little bit smoother, a little bit stronger, and I like a little bit of a stronger fragrance
for the fall and the winter. Find the one that works for you, but this
right here is solid fragrance that, yeah, this could just be your go-to for the entire
year. Now, what if you want a manly fragrance that
nobody else is wearing? One that actually is very comfortable with itself, been around
for 30 years. Then, you want to check out Egoiste by Chanel.
So, what I love about this one is it actually uses rose. It’s one of the rare fragrances
in the men side that actually brings in rose, at the same time, we’ve got sandalwood,
we’ve got cinnamon. Right here, also got a little bit of tobacco. This is a classic
fragrance that really most guys don’t even know about, I think should be on your radar.
And if that’s not manly enough for you, go grab yourself some of this stuff, Antaeus
by Chanel. What I love about this fragrance, it’s very animalistic. If you want that
this fall, this is your go-to fragrance. I sprayed some of this the other day, the amount
of hair on my chest doubled instantly. Next up, we’ve got a woody aromatic that’s
not talked about much and that’s going to be Guerlain’s L’Homme Ideal. So, when
I look at this fragrance, when I smell it actually, I think almond. That also has tonka
bean, it’s going to have a little bit of leather.
This is a fragrance that is really just warm. And I think that tonka bean mixed with the
almond, it is just a nice sweet clean fragrance. But, overall, this is just great for the fall
and the winter. And, speaking of tonka bean, let’s talk
about a fragrance that’s probably got me more unsolicited comments during the fall
and winter than any other fragrance I own and that is 1 Million Prive.
So, we got the tonka bean, but we also have it mixed in with cinnamon and tobacco. And
those three notes right there, they dominate. A little bit of myrrh and at the top you got
a little bit of citrus. But, I would say that it’s like in this warm cloud that’s around
you that women just absolutely love the smell of. So, if you want to get compliments, if
you want to attract women, this is the fall fragrance for you.
Now, if you like those cinnamon notes, but you want something you can wear at night,
well, grab the appropriately named Azzaro Wanted by Night. I talked about his fragrance
before, I absolutely love it. This is a great one. If you want to give a very sensual mysterious
type of vibe, this is the fragrance for you. So, what’s cool about this one is it not
only has the cinnamon, but it’s got tobacco mixed in there with a little bit of fruity
notes, you got a little bit of orange and you got the cedar down at the base. Just a
really nice evening fragrance. [0:10:06]
Now, if you want something a bit more niche, you want to check out Parfums de Marly Herod.
This is a great fall fragrance. It’s going to have that tobacco mixed in with the cinnamon
and it’s the vanilla that just brings in the sweetness. An amazing fragrance.
Also, the sillage of this thing is tremendous. So, this is a fragrance that you can wear
all night, you can wear all day. I think it works great with a sweater. It’s a solid
fragrance. Another great fall option from Parfums de
Marly is Godolphin. And this one right here, leather with fruit. That’s probably the
best way to describe this. If you’re looking for a leather fragrance, which I think is
perfect for this time of the year, this is an amazing option.
And, speaking of a solid leather fragrance, CH Men Prive, this one by Carolina Herrera.
What I love about this fragrance besides the leather, it’s got a little bit of boozy
leather mix with it. You got the tonka bean, so it cuts off a little bit sweet and then
you’ve got the aromatic notes. So, like cardamom in there. This is a fragrance I absolutely
love. Now, this fragrance right here, it doesn’t
give a lot of love, but I think it’s a great fall fragrance and that is Bad Boy by Carolina
Herrera. What I love about this fragrance is going to be the cocoa mixed in with the
tonka bean. This is just a solid I think gourmand fragrance. You’re going to smell like chocolate
if you wear this. But, it’s also got a little bit of citrus
at the top and it does have a little bit of balance in there, so we see a few other aromatic
notes. Overall, a great fragrance. And, speaking of gourmand, we cannot leave
off this list, Mugler’s A*Men. So, this one was the first kid on the block and it
really changed the way fragrances are understood. But, if you’re looking for something that’s
just a classic and smells like caramel, got a little bit of coffee with a little bit of
mint and vanilla, this is going to be the go-to fragrance for you.
And two other gourmands I want to give an honorable mention to. We got Rochas Man. If
you like coffee, if you like vanilla, this is a solid fragrance for you. And, we’ve
got Black Phantom by Kilian. This fragrance right here, if you like a little bit of dark
chocolate with whiskey with rum, this is the fragrance for you.
And now, the fragrance that I am wearing, my go-to fragrance for fall right now is Terre
d’Hermes by Hermes. And for me, when you look at the notes, pretty simple. You’ve
got orange, you’ve got vetiver, you got a bit of spice, there is some wood fragrances.
I mean, it seems pretty simplistic. But, when you put this together, there’s
something Jean Claude, the guy that put this together, this is a masterpiece. It’s pretty
much one of the fragrances that’s unlike anything else out there and if you’ve never
smelt this, you really owe it to yourself to go out there and get the sample because
this thing is amazing. I’ve also got the perfume and I’ve also
got the vetiver which is even stronger than the vetiver. But, the original is what I go
back to. This is an amazing fragrance. So, what video to watch next? How about how
to actually apply fragrance? How to wear fragrance and not make the most common mistakes that
so many guys do? In this video, guys, I break it out. I also
teach you a lot, just the base terminology that you need to understand to wear fragrance
correctly. [0:12:53] End of audio
