I Bought Sur la Nil based on your review and was VERY impressed. I'm an avid gardner and was bowled over by the subtlety and romance of this garden-inspired scent - thank you so much for introducing me
I just wanted to compliment you on your videos. You are an excellent speaker and the content is just the kind of information that I am looking for. Thank you!
Your #2, Un Jardin Sur Le Nil is probably my all time favorite scent, and the only one I like more than Aventus. It's the only scent I wear that my wife instantly recognizes and can identify. Beautiful, beautiful fragrance! I really wish you'd do a full length, in depth review of it. I'd love to hear more of your thoughts.
I had a feeling that Nautica was going to be your number one when you said Jenn's favorite. We will work on your French pronounciation next week when I come down :P
The usual crimes are Laurent, Blue day chanel (!?) and Mugler. Steven is good compared to most North Americans. I think it was you Chad that managed to contort Cartier! Three cheers for Nautica.
AGentlemansJourney it may have been Marc Robes. Sorry if so, no offense intended and probably down to French-Canadian pronunciation but it sounded like Certier!
No offense was taken. I just didn't know what you meant. French Canadian pronunciation is indeed different from the correct and proper Parisian French. We've just butchered it over the last couple of centuries.
very nice list Steven,all fragrances are great! just some days ago a good friend of mine complimented me the whole day that I smell awesome;I weared Versace Pour Homme. Tomorrow I'll get my Nautica Voyage,I hope it will surprise me positively - wish you a nice day!
I agree! Great selections. I bought this last month, it is fantastic! It's very inexpensive for such a big bottle. I was going to ask, if you have done a video for the new "Givenchy Gentlemen only: Casual Chic?" I got a sample of it, and wanted to know your professional take. Anywho! Again, great video, as always.
Very well done video on colognes! Thank you! Fresh scents are always the best! I love the smell of vanilla so thanks for the heads up on your number 3 by Mugler. :)
I did smell that Amen cologne the other day, while at Macy's, and i was VERY tempted to buy it. Along with the Malt one. I'll be buying it next month though :)
Great list. I wore Voyage out years ago before I really started getting more into fragrances--it does deserve the praises. And just recently got edition blanche and you are right it does add depth and character for a summer scent and I love wearing that one for almost any occasion.
Bought Gucci Guilty Black based on this video! Picked up a 3oz tester from Lily Direct for $38 shipped. My 3rd from this house. I have Gucci PH II and Gucci by Gucci Sport. Good stuff.
Awesome list! Steven have you smelled Eternity Summer 2015? The scent is the BEST out of the shower scent I've come across. The longjevity is not great , projection is not great, but it'll do the job when sprayed on clothes. .. Awesome scent
Great list, thanks for sharing. One I would also pick is Drakkar Essence. It really doesn't get many positive reviews but I think they put a summer, daytime spin on the classic (and hallowed) Drakkar Noir. Cheers.
Great summer list, own about 7 of these myself, allure ed. Blanche being my favorite citrus with excellent projection and longevity! Which is the most ,masculine' from the Gucci line? This black one?
Sur Le Nil and Nautica Voyage are fragrance rock stars for sure. These two and Infusion d'Homme are excellent in climates like Texas, where the summers can very hot.
Great video! I've recently got the Nautica Voyage and I have question, because my cap is plastic and doesn't split in half. And it doesn't last long. Is it fake? Batch code says it's from Sept 2014. Was there any reformulation and cap change to lower the costs? Thanks for your answer!
I have seven of the ten listed fragrances. In fact, I still haven't removed the shrink-wrap off of CK One Summer 2014...need to do it soon. Guilty Black is one I don't own...even though I am harassed by the girls at Macy's just about every time I step into one of their stores. The ladies really seem to like it---and it's okay---but it smells so much like all the other Gucci Guilty flankers. Perhaps if it performed a little better. Anyway, I'll try it again.
+Rohan Kapoor Hmmm. Vanille Insense by Atelier Cologne, Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier, Spiriteuse Double Vanille by Guerlaine, Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford, Menthe Fraiche by Heeley, Geranium Pour Monsieur by EDP Frederic Malle. Thank you for watching!
Thanks man, I already own le male & Tom Ford and love it.Will explore the others. Just asking, what's your take on 24 gold scentstory & Cerruti 1881? Just wanted to know how you felt about them. Thanks
I plenty agree with your list :) I would add Dior Fahrenheit on summer night it's pretty good. Glad you didnt include bleu de chanel, I find this one really lose his magic on hot weather
Hahahaha Voyage my favourite one as well you know it's funny when comparing it to Hermes or Prada when it comes to the price. Yes Voyage is the best except the longevity of it .
Hey Redolessence, i was wondering Thierry Mugler Ultra zest is for the playful, daytime fragrance for the summer, i was wondering if you can tell me a good fragrance for the summer nights. I have La Nuit for fall and winter nights, and bleu de chanel for year round but I'm looking for a sexy date scent for summer nights.
my TOP 5 fragrances for summer are : L'humaniste frappin kenzo pour homme terre d'hermes eau très fraiche Dior homme cologne Creed Aventus (very versatile )
As you've said, scents are very subjective, I love gucci. I own guilty intense, gucci por home, and made to measure. Still trying to locate the tiery meugler.
great list, i learn a lot from your vids and actually just subscribed but voyage is no where near my top ten but still a solid fragrance. who created all these sheep lol
What the ... Voyage as number 1 ? Thats .. I mean , is not bad , but far away to be number 1 By the way , what u think about Dolce gabanna the one Sport Theres a lot of hate on this fragance , but i love it as much as i can . Its adorable !
Nice list Redolessence have you heard about the new narciso rodriguez BLEU NOIR for him launched few weeks ago i'm excited to smell it but still not availebal here in france somme says that in ITALY they have it in stores i'm a big fan of narciso for men i think he does the musks in the most beautiffull ways
Redolessence it's a good frag, not my signature but it's perfect for summer days. I wear it to the beach, the park, and when i hike.... pretty much during any outdoor activity. Perfect for work and gym. It's nothing sexy, but a very clean frag. You will get compliments on how clean you smell haha... Keep doing what you do!!
I haven't tried Ultra Zest. Otherwise, I'd only keep 2 out of the other 9 fragrances that you mention - Mugler Cologne Allure Homme Sport Edition Blanche No Dior Homme Cologne and/or Dior Homme Sport? No vetivers? Come on.......
I was going to down vote this video because you made Nautica Voyage your number one As this is the most overrated frag on You Tube Then I remembered you are saving up for your wedding and you made the daring confession that you do not wear infusion d Homme all day As much as you have praised d Homme I thought that you had a keg piped into your sprinkler system so that it rained on you every time you stepped outside You Sir have earned un up vote
Wait a minute... He told the story about the teaching assistant not wanting to leave his side when he was describing Invictus. Now Gucci Guilty too? How many times has this happened?
+Travis L Haha. Hey, Travis! She is in my classroom twice a week, and she has an affinity for fragrances just like I do. Her favorites are Bvlgari Omnia and a Vince Camuto fragrance, and we go back and forth complimenting each other. She has complimented me on Invictus, Gucci Guilty, Battito d'Ali, Sauvage, and a few others. She has a very friendly personality, and she has complimented me more than once on more than one fragrance. I will see if I can get her to do a video with me!
+Redolessence why didn't you pick davidoff cool water its very fresh too and it's an aquatic so if you live near a ocean or are on a cruise it actually compliments the smell of the sea water
+Ryan Kritz youre right . Davidoff cool water , smells like an ocean not like u just went out of the shower , but like if u just went out of the sea LOL
You're a teacher no wonder you're so good at speaking! Great list!
I Bought Sur la Nil based on your review and was VERY impressed. I'm an avid gardner and was bowled over by the subtlety and romance of this garden-inspired scent - thank you so much for introducing me
I just wanted to compliment you on your videos. You are an excellent speaker and the content is just the kind of information that I am looking for. Thank you!
Great list mate. Always good to see value for money fragrances in the mix.
Your #2, Un Jardin Sur Le Nil is probably my all time favorite scent, and the only one I like more than Aventus. It's the only scent I wear that my wife instantly recognizes and can identify. Beautiful, beautiful fragrance! I really wish you'd do a full length, in depth review of it. I'd love to hear more of your thoughts.
Great Picks for the Summer, thanks for sharing...
Thank you, Max!
That blue Versace Fraice fragrance is absolutely amazing, I love it!
Very nice lineup with mix of new release like Ultra Zest. Nice efforts.
I had a feeling that Nautica was going to be your number one when you said Jenn's favorite. We will work on your French pronounciation next week when I come down :P
The usual crimes are Laurent, Blue day chanel (!?) and Mugler. Steven is good compared to most North Americans. I think it was you Chad that managed to contort Cartier! Three cheers for Nautica.
I genuinely don't understand what you meant by contort Cartier but okay.
AGentlemansJourney it may have been Marc Robes. Sorry if so, no offense intended and probably down to French-Canadian pronunciation but it sounded like Certier!
No offense was taken. I just didn't know what you meant. French Canadian pronunciation is indeed different from the correct and proper Parisian French. We've just butchered it over the last couple of centuries.
Great picks!!
AMAZING LIST !!!
Nautica "creme de la creme "

thanks for being a teacher. what you teach?
+Bharath Kumar creative writing i think.
Great list Steven! I like you put Nautica at one! My girl likes Nautica also, and mostly she hates the expensive frags, how typical :)
I haven't heard this but I think that Voyage reminds me of the smell cucumbers and melon. one of my favorite scents.
Very well done video on colognes! Thank you! Fresh scents are always the best! I love the smell of vanilla so thanks for the heads up on your number 3 by Mugler. :)
Great list !! Thanks for sharing 👍
Great list. BTW: Nice shirt and tie combo.

You're welcome! Thank you for watching!

Thank you for the support! Voyage is great one!
I just bought Nautica Voyage for this summer. It's great!

Red Salmon Thank you very much for trusting my opinion. You will get a lot of compliments on it!
What a great list steven !
Awesome list! Steven have you smelled Eternity Summer 2015? The scent is the BEST out of the shower scent I've come across. The longjevity is not great , projection is not great, but it'll do the job when sprayed on clothes. .. Awesome scent
excellent list, Steve! need to finally give nautica voyage a try!
Great list, thanks for sharing. One I would also pick is Drakkar Essence. It really doesn't get many positive reviews but I think they put a summer, daytime spin on the classic (and hallowed) Drakkar Noir. Cheers.
Great summer list, own about 7 of these myself, allure ed. Blanche being my favorite citrus with excellent projection and longevity! Which is the most ,masculine' from the Gucci line? This black one?
will you ever do a full review on un jardin sur le nil?..
Pour Homme user myself. Love it in a hot sunny day
Sur Le Nil and Nautica Voyage are fragrance rock stars for sure. These two and Infusion d'Homme are excellent in climates like Texas, where the summers can very hot.
I fell in love with Hermes Un Jardin Sur Le Nil the very first time I smelled it.
what do you teach? great vid by the way
great list again! totally agree with your number 1! smells like a trip to the sea :)
Thank you very much!
Gonna buy Gucci guilty because of this review.. Thank you.. Greetings from Singapore :)
Great video! I've recently got the Nautica Voyage and I have question, because my cap is plastic and doesn't split in half. And it doesn't last long. Is it fake? Batch code says it's from Sept 2014. Was there any reformulation and cap change to lower the costs? Thanks for your answer!
Just added Thierry Mugler ultra zest to my collection and after wearing for one day I purchased another bottle that next morning !!
+Obtained Victory I can't wait to wear Ultra Zest again!!!!
I have seven of the ten listed fragrances. In fact, I still haven't removed the shrink-wrap off of CK One Summer 2014...need to do it soon. Guilty Black is one I don't own...even though I am harassed by the girls at Macy's just about every time I step into one of their stores.

Nice video , just a suggestion, can you also please list the names of the Colognes whenever you do a top 10, in the description below :)
I've recently got into 'Brut 33'. Do you rate this?
Nautica Voyage really is an awesome fragrance. I think I paid like £17 for a 100ml bottle which is unbelievable really to say how great it smells.
hey. great vid, can you share a list of fragrances with the following power notes - vanilla or mint. Thanks in Advance
+Rohan Kapoor Hmmm. Vanille Insense by Atelier Cologne, Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier, Spiriteuse Double Vanille by Guerlaine, Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford, Menthe Fraiche by Heeley, Geranium Pour Monsieur by EDP Frederic Malle. Thank you for watching!
Thanks man, I already own le male & Tom Ford and love it.Will explore the others. Just asking, what's your take on 24 gold scentstory & Cerruti 1881? Just wanted to know how you felt about them. Thanks
I like both. 24 Gold is a rich amber that I really love. I don't own 1881, but I remember liking it last time I smelled it. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the effort and time you are putting in for us :)
Versace Eros - top notes Vanilla and Mint xD it's a power fragance smells for days
Excellent!
As usual, all your stuff rocks!
Love AHEB! Probably my fav on this list! (I'm bias to Mugler so I'll leave UZ and MC out of this haha)
-HP
Haha. Thank you! Great fragrance!
great review man...please i need a help, i want a cologne that smell like pineapple .please help
Aventus
I plenty agree with your list :) I would add Dior Fahrenheit on summer night it's pretty good. Glad you didnt include bleu de chanel, I find this one really lose his magic on hot weather
I have quite a few of those. Mugler cologne (longevity is poor on me), Ultra Zest, Nautica Voyage, CK One Summer 2014.
Hahahaha Voyage my favourite one as well you know it's funny when comparing it to Hermes or Prada when it comes to the price. Yes Voyage is the best except the longevity of it .
What would you recommend for my dad? Great video as always.
Any of these fragrances can work on anyone of any age! How old is your dad?
Over 40
Great list!
Thank you!
good list! my SOTD is actually Nautica Voyage!
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
Voyage deserves all the praise it gets. I overspray it like crazy too because who cares, it's $15!
Hey Redolessence, i was wondering Thierry Mugler Ultra zest is for the playful, daytime fragrance for the summer, i was wondering if you can tell me a good fragrance for the summer nights. I have La Nuit for fall and winter nights, and bleu de chanel for year round but I'm looking for a sexy date scent for summer nights.
I think that im going to go and order Nautica Voyage just to see whats the deal with it. Its 13,5 dollars in Croatia for the big 100ml bottle.
So is gucci guilty black any good? Im really thinking hard about trying it
There is no summer for me without Chanel Allure Homme Cologne Sport :)
I agree!
Signed, sealed n subscribed.👍
Sagar Rai Thank you very much!
Hey, great video! Do you have a dupe for creed aventus or colognes that smell very similar? I'd greatly appreciate it if you could let me know!
Club de nuit intense man
+Bubble Coffee thank you! I wont have to burn holes into my wallet so often now :')
Guys try Chrome legend....the ladies love it
Will there be a new summer 2016 top ten ?? Hope so
Hello! Is the Chanel allure a toilette or parfum? I saw both online
I'm not entirely sure. Sorry about that.
Can you maybe do a review on armani's Si?
my TOP 5 fragrances for summer are :
L'humaniste frappin
kenzo pour homme
terre d'hermes eau très fraiche
Dior homme cologne
Creed Aventus (very versatile )
Great list except that #1 unless the formulation has changed (I tried it 5yrs ago) imo it smells like something you'd buy at a dollar store.
As you've said, scents are very subjective, I love gucci. I own guilty intense, gucci por home, and made to measure. Still trying to locate the tiery meugler.
Which one gets you the most compliments?
Cody Kanz green irish tweed, and montale santal wood
great list, i learn a lot from your vids and actually just subscribed but voyage is no where near my top ten but still a solid fragrance. who created all these sheep lol
boogie27896 Hahaha... thank you for the support, my friend! I really appreciate it.
What the ...
Voyage as number 1 ? Thats ..
I mean , is not bad , but far away to be number 1
By the way , what u think about Dolce gabanna the one Sport
Theres a lot of hate on this fragance , but i love it as much as i can . Its adorable !
Have you tried The One Gentlemen? Thats my favorite flanker.
Nice list Redolessence have you heard about the new narciso rodriguez BLEU NOIR for him launched few weeks ago i'm excited to smell it but still not availebal here in france somme says that in ITALY they have it in stores i'm a big fan of narciso for men i think he does the musks in the most beautiffull ways
GENDARME is the summer scent.
Hector Ramirez I still need to get that one! Thank you for watching!!!!
Redolessence it's a good frag, not my signature but it's perfect for summer days. I wear it to the beach, the park, and when i hike.... pretty much during any outdoor activity. Perfect for work and gym. It's nothing sexy, but a very clean frag. You will get compliments on how clean you smell haha...
Keep doing what you do!!
I haven't tried Ultra Zest. Otherwise, I'd only keep 2 out of the other 9 fragrances that you mention -
Mugler Cologne
Allure Homme Sport Edition Blanche
No Dior Homme Cologne and/or Dior Homme Sport?
No vetivers?
Come on.......
to me pour homme by versace smells just like dolce and gabbanas light blue
I was going to down vote this video because you made Nautica Voyage your number one As this is the most overrated frag on You Tube Then I remembered you are saving up for your wedding and you made the daring confession that you do not wear infusion d Homme all day As much as you have praised d Homme I thought that you had a keg piped into your sprinkler system so that it rained on you every time you stepped outside You Sir have earned un up vote
your collection is crazy!!! im assuming this is your only hobby lol
if you like those you have to like dsquared potion blue cadet
Wait a minute... He told the story about the teaching assistant not wanting to leave his side when he was describing Invictus. Now Gucci Guilty too? How many times has this happened?
+Travis L Haha. Hey, Travis! She is in my classroom twice a week, and she has an affinity for fragrances just like I do.

Thanks for the response. Great channel!
+Redolessence why didn't you pick davidoff cool water its very fresh too and it's an aquatic so if you live near a ocean or are on a cruise it actually compliments the smell of the sea water
lol. all his stories are questionable.
+Ryan Kritz youre right . Davidoff cool water , smells like an ocean
not like u just went out of the shower , but like if u just went out of the sea
LOL
For the money NAUTICA VOYAGE IS A TIMELESS CLASSIC,PERIOD.... #NEWJERSEY
Thank you for watching!
Fraiche is pronounced the same way as Fresh.
What do you teach ?
No acqua di gio?
David Co Its way too played out that's why! It's been done to death I think....perry Ellis Red is better in my opinion! :)
issey miyake is way nicer than Versace Man Eau Fraiche
I never cared for Issey. Versace is just better for my nose.
not 1 of those you chose, I need to find another reviewer. Versace for him blue bottle, STINKY! Smells like salt water.
+E R.A. ok I did , your right. He likes them all actually. I was surprised.
sillagistic. :)
yap yap yap
stop yapping and tell us
14 minutes to show 10. your out
