Wonderful selection. I have had a decant of Dior Eau Sauvage leak all of its contents in my travel bag. I was upset about it at first, but now that I have it all cleaned out I am left with the scent of its dry-down and I have to say that I am not upset about the leaking at all. My travel toothbrush smells very classy all the time now.
I’ve been “collecting” fragrances for about 3 years and my advice is instead of buying 3 cheapies buy 1 quality one. You actually don’t need more than 2, a sweeter one for fw and a fresh one for ss. And try it on your skin in a store to see how it lasts on you. I see no point in buying something that smells nice but lasts 3 hrs and projects for 30min
Great job, Selection Verte is my favorite citrus of all time. You should try Maitre Parfumeur Et Gantier, they have quite a few of my favorite fragrances as well.
Ah Eau Savauge, so nice. I find that it can also be worn in cooler months and not be out of place. Wore it on my wedding day which was in the middle of autumn, was simply fresh and classic.
Bravo. Loved your choices. I use 4711 every morning as a shower finisher...and then 20 minutes later I apply my scent of the day. Acua di Parma is simply a favorite... and with Cary Grant and yes even Audrey Hepburn being fans, how can you go wrong. Simply a classic that defines class. Oh and Blenheim Bouquet is another favorite. It is in my favorite summer fragrances for 2020 review. Really enjoyed your presentation. Cheers
This summer I’m using S. M. Novella tabacco toscano and Acqua di Parma colonia pura. I didn’t try the original S.M. Novella acqua because I thought would be too sweet. I’m Portuguese and I didn’t know that one, thanks! I’ll visit their store next time I’m in Oporto.
Great lineup, Brian. I prefer the Essenza version of the Acqua Di Parma, primarily because it lasts longer. Also, I'd suggest Terre d'Hermes, which I think is suitable for any occasion and/or season, including Summer.
Great examples, thank you! One idea for a video maybe: I think a lot of gentlemen here don’t put or should I say wear fragrance properly by spraying it on clothes. Do you plan to do a video to show how properly to wear a fragrance, probably it also matters if it is a everyday wear or for a special occasion?? Great supporter of yours from Bulgaria! Kind regards, Hristo Velev
Those were great choices. I actually pull for Bayolea quite often. I also like Etat Libre d’Orange Cologne, Creeds Neroli Sauvage and Guerlain L’homme Ideal Cologne. Thanks for the vid.
I watched one of your earlier fragrance videos. You mentioned BRUT. I was looking for something easier on my wallet and my only requirement for any fragrance was masculine. Like you would smell if you just came out of fight club. BRUT was easy to find and was great. Great video, hope you're staying safe and well.
Some really good scents there Brian, I prefer musgo real’s orange amber to the spicy and 4711 is a decent smelling bargain, but my go to citrus scent has got to be Acqua di Parma Colonia. Mind you I’d give up my whole collection for just one more bottle of the sadly discontinued Kirra by Pacsun, a subtle hint of citrus and my summer scent choice for some of the happiest days in my life!
Great picks, Brian! I'll certainly get a sample of that Zegna juice. Additional honorable mentions? 1. Eau de Rochas pour homme by Rochas: a nice variation on the classic Eau Sauvage theme with a little more basil thrown into the mix 2. Bright Neroli by Ferrari: despite coming from a car brand (yikes!), the quality is actually more than decent; quite orangey and more substantial than, say, 4711. Bang for the buck! 3. Green Water by Jacques Fath: Not a cheapy at all, but a really sophisticated, astringent and, well, green take on classic summer scents. Greetings from Germany!
Thanks for the recs! You're pretty much seeing my entire collection of citrus fragrances here! Though I wouldn't necessarily call it a citrus fragrance in the same vain as these, Roja Elysium is exquisite.
Thnx again, Mr. Brian, for yours unpuyaple suggestions. I love your allure style, your "charm" and the way to express yourself. I'm totally agree with your selection of scents for the summer. Congrat 😉👏
Awesome video. Great picks to my knowledge, though I've not personally smelled all of them. It's a shame that with covid many perfumeries are suffering- especially the more independent ones.
Great content! Ive been struggling to find good fragrances as I am a D1 swimmer and so I always have a small chlorine scent in my skin. As I go to add fragrances, I often find they smell off as they mix with the chlorine. Any tips for scents that could mask/ smell good with chlorine lol.
One of the problems with summer/citrus fragrances for me has been that their top notes can be very similar, making it difficult to justify buying a new one. Well that and the problem that most citrus fragrances last a few hours at most. From your list, Zegna's Italian Bergamot intrigues me the most, with the two Penhaligon's ones coming in close second! For my own fragrances, I think I have mentioned them before but I am rotating through 2 right now: Bleu de Chanel for the more sophisticated scent and the more fiscally manageable Versace Man Eau Fraiche which I've been enjoying very much this summer. I guess both are more aquatic than citrus though. Dior Homme Cologne is also an easy spray for the office (or well, back when I went to work anyway) as it only has 3 notes! - Han
My I ad Floris 89 and the very affordable Capucci pour homme? Both good performers. On the Zegna, I prefer Mediterrenean Neroli above Italian Bergamot.
Forty-seven eleven sounds so much cooler than Siebenundvierzig elf! :) Great and very informative video! This evening l’m going to reorder “Earl Grey & Cucumber” by Jo Malone London which is in fact a unisex cologne (but in my opinion more on the female side as it has vanilla as one of the base notes). It reminds me of my last holiday in Italy. It is a very special, spicy green and surprising fragrance. With the bergamot top notes it’s perfect for summer. Of the fragrances you presented, Arquiste L’Etrog sounds best in my opinion. I just checked - it’s unisex. Good ;) The Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo fragrances are very good as well.
Hey Brian! I was just searching the web and I came across a 98% wool, 2% lycra blend suiting fabric. I'm wondering how it would vary from a 100% wool fabric and would it affect drycleaning and ironing? Also, how would it vary from a 100% wool suit in the future?
Very thorough and interesting assessment of some great fragrances. I tried to purchase a bottle of 4711 from Amazon and got a message indicating that the bottle couldn’t be shipped to my home, (middle class, suburban, single family home). Never happened before...sort of a bummer...oh well...just wondering Brian if you know of any retail outlets that carry 4711. Thanks and great job on the video!...Ed
He Spoke Style ...Brian, I forgot to mention that you produce some of the highest quality TH-cam video productions on TH-cam. It’s a crying shame that you don’t get a ‘Like’ from everyone who watches one of your videos. The amount of work you put into each of your videos is simply amazing.The way you organize each video by content, makes it extremely easy for the viewer to hone in on a particular area of interest. Your content is always very well researched and presented in a fashion/format that i believe most viewers find pleasing. I’m always amazed at how knowledgeable you are on so many aspects of men’s fashion. I’m guilty of watching many of your videos without always leaving feedback, yet I do try to at least try to hit the ‘like’ button. I have a theory on how TH-cam content creators might go about increasing the % of viewers who hit the ‘like’ button. My theory is based solely on anecdotal observations and I wonder if any content creators might be interested in my theory. Maybe, as I further define my theory, I might circle back with you to see if you have any interest in some of the observations I’ve made. Anyway, you produce great content!...keep up the great work...Ed
As an interesting novelty I recommend you try the eau de parfum done with Distillerie de Paris one of the best gin boutique producers ever (same name). It’s the French answer to the Blenheim Bouquet (I think). Thank you for your videos!
I have TF Neroli Portofino and I like it. Somebody told me it was just an overpriced 4711 so I bought a small bottle to compare. I really didn’t smell much similarity apart from form the obvious citrus notes. It smelt of butter to me and was quite off putting. I’m probably the only person who’s ever going today that.
I bought a bottle of Blenheim Bouquet a couple of years ago. I was looking for and expecting a sharp, somewhat bitter fragrance. Instead, what I got was a frag that smelled like a sweet lemon drop. No bitterness or pine…nothing but that sweet lemon smell. Maybe I got a bad batch, but it was very disappointing. I ended up selling it. I’d like to try it again but prices are north of $120 now.
Penhaligon's Bayolea is pronounced Bay- o-Lay. I believe it's their take on a bay rum type scent. I'm going to have to try that Creed! The Acqua di Parma Colonia is my #1 summer scent!
Would you say Acqua di S.M.N is a unisex fragrance? I bought this bottle, as well as another one of their fragrances for my fiancé and she absolutely loves them. I always thought they were women's fragrances, but I could see how their original fragrance could be worn by men. It's very herbal and quite complex, while also being citrus forward.
@@hespokestyle Out of curiosity, do you know anything about the fragrance "Jazz Club" from the Replica series? I believe it is made by Maison Margiela. Maybe it's not a huge brand, but has definitely become a favorite of mine.
The problem I have with citrus fragrances is they just don’t last and I always want something that will get me through the work day. Parfums de Marly Percival fits that requirement for a summer fragrance. On the cheaper designer side I use Bleu de Chanel edp and Allure eau extreme edp, not as strong but 8 out of 10 times they last the entire work day
He Spoke Style well I think the cologne was $175 but it was one of those the-more-you-buy, the-more-you-save deals. $200 was the most you could save in total. They carry everything from Acqua di Parma candles to hair products to hand soap and moisturizer.
I've a question for you? Which style of loafers is more formal? Assuming that both styles that I am going to mention have the same colour and are constructed from the same leather, then which is the more formal, and also a more versatile style? The classic penny loafer or the classic horsebit loafer?
The less decorative elements, the most formal a pair of shoes can be. In my opinion, the Penny loafers can be considered more formal although they are also more versatile. They are easier to dress up and dress down.
Interesting question. It kind of depends on how you style them. For example, I have a pair of horsebit loafers that I only wear in the summertime. I like how they are dressy, yet casual at the same time.
I always gravitate to wood fragrances like Oud Wood but I know that citrus is more appropriate for the summer, which of these do you recommend to start as someone who is not used to citrus fragrances?
You just have to smell and experience many different fragrances. It’s one of the things that makes fragrance so interesting-there is always so much to discover.
Hi, I live in a very hot country and I have one question in my head. Should I wear deodorant and a cologne or perfume together or not? Because my deodorant is quite strong so I dont know if the two combined will make for a good smell.
I really doubt if deodorant interferes with colognes,soaps are probably the only thing that interferes with colognes that's why I ALWAYS used FRANGRANCE FREE soaps....
As an alternative, there are "hacks" to eliminate the need for a separate deodorant. Look into using things like "The Ordinary" Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution - this alters the ph balance of your pits, making it difficult for natural bacteria to rapidly multiply. Its also fragrance free.
Big respect for Penhaligons, 4711? may be your great great great grandfather splashed that on his his face, it is fairly rank stuff! Aqua Di Palma Colonia has a really old man smell, get the latest Essenza version which has way better performance and smells more modern, sophisticated and mysterious. The best summer citrus hands down, aka great smell , not common and best performance, should really include these three niche frarances 1) Profumo Roma (Aqua Viva) 2) Naxos (Renaissance) 3) Nichane (Ambra Calabria)
as a german i can confirm 4711 is used by old ladies... its also no perfume its bascially a refresher it only lasts 5minutes... they use it for cleaning hands and stuff...
One of my favorite summer scent is Davidoff Cool Water. A mix of salt water, rosemary, lavender, mint and oakmoss, very fresh but also very classic and elegant. Give it a try if you don't know it yet.

Loving you are one of the few who talk about such classics as Penhaligon's!!
4711 is just awesome. So glad you liked it too. These scent videos that you make are such fun to watch and learn from.
Wonderful selection. I have had a decant of Dior Eau Sauvage leak all of its contents in my travel bag. I was upset about it at first, but now that I have it all cleaned out I am left with the scent of its dry-down and I have to say that I am not upset about the leaking at all.

Sweet! Thanks for the support.
Probably counterintuitive, but could you do a “budget” video whether it’s clothes, fragrances, etc?
I’ve been “collecting” fragrances for about 3 years and my advice is instead of buying 3 cheapies buy 1 quality one. You actually don’t need more than 2, a sweeter one for fw and a fresh one for ss.

I’m Portuguese and I didn’t know that one, thanks! I’ll visit their store next time I’m in Oporto.
Is that somewhat with a bit of vanilla scent?
Yes. The tabacco toscano is like an empty box of cigars with vanilla inside. That's how I can best describe it.
Great lineup, Brian. I prefer the Essenza version of the Acqua Di Parma, primarily because it lasts longer. Also, I'd suggest Terre d'Hermes, which I think is suitable for any occasion and/or season, including Summer.
I'll have to try the intense one.
Love Acqua di Parma Colonia. Versace Eros is also a summer favorite for casual days.

My favourite citrus summer fragrances is Floris London Cefiro (top notes: bergamot, lemon, lime, mandarin, orange heart notes: cardamom, jasmine, nutmeg base notes: cedarwoods, musk, sandalwoods) and No. 89 (top notes: bergamot, levender, neroli, nutmeg, orange, petigrain heart notes: geranium, rose, ylang ylang base notes: cedarwood, musk, oakmoss, sandalwood, vetiver)

My I ad Floris 89 and the very affordable Capucci pour homme? Both good performers. On the Zegna, I prefer Mediterrenean Neroli above Italian Bergamot.

Hey Brian! I was just searching the web and I came across a 98% wool, 2% lycra blend suiting fabric. I'm wondering how it would vary from a 100% wool fabric and would it affect drycleaning and ironing? Also, how would it vary from a 100% wool suit in the future?

what woud be a good daily cologne for men over 60?
I always gravitate to wood fragrances like Oud Wood but I know that citrus is more appropriate for the summer, which of these do you recommend to start as someone who is not used to citrus fragrances?
I would say the AdP Colonia or 4711. Both classic.
Brian, What does one do to learn about fragrances? Where and how would I start?
You just have to smell and experience many different fragrances. It’s one of the things that makes fragrance so interesting-there is always so much to discover.
I have the Intensa version of AP colonia series. It gives me 6 hours. I love the original, but it has poor longevity.
That's the second vote for Intensa! I'll have to consider that when I run out of the original. Is the scent pretty much exactly the same?
He Spoke Style it has the originals DNA, but Intensa has leathery
& woody notes too (& more).

@@hespokestyle Ah yes apologies Eau savage is vastly superior and the parfum version is rather nice.
Monsieur Balmain is what comes to my mind when I hear summer citrus fragrance for a gentleman
West Indies Lime
Truefitt & Hill?
@@hespokestyle No, mine was from Tom Ford. Before that it was from Floris
as a german i can confirm 4711 is used by old ladies... its also no perfume its bascially a refresher it only lasts 5minutes... they use it for cleaning hands and stuff...
One of my favorite summer scent is Davidoff Cool Water. A mix of salt water, rosemary, lavender, mint and oakmoss, very fresh but also very classic and elegant. Give it a try if you don't know it yet.
A classic!
I got nishane hacivat coming soon any one like that one
I’m a woman but I like Blenheim bouquet

Its monsoon time in INDIA.
WhenI lived in Tuscon, AZ, there would be monsoons in August. The streets would become rivers!
