My respect for you has just gone up for putting Fahrenheit on your list. It was the Dior sauvage of the 90s so didn't like it, but nowadays in such a saturated market full of weak generic fragrances I realise what a masterpiece it is, it is now my winter signature scent.
Got my son rocking Farenheit at age 19 because he doesn't want to smell like everyone else. I remember when it came out and it being the Sauavage of the day.
@@sharfalor4244 it was indeed the sauvage of the day, which was why at the time I never wore it. Fast forward 25yrs and now in my 40s I wear it often, especially in winter and it gets compliments from younger folk and smiles from older ones. What makes Fahrenheit special imo is it doesn't smell old school or dated like many of its contemporaries of its day, its extremely unique! Nice to hear younger guys rocking it, its a timeless classic.
@@sharfalor4244 as I side note, despite me owning a modern reformulated Dior Fahrenheit, I recommend "The Man Cobalt" by Milton Lloyd which imo smells more like the original Fahrenheit than the current Dior version, its ridiculously cheap and performs like a beast.
@@rockywaters9592 ohh thanks, I will check that out for him. All the reformulations are annoying, it definitely doesn't perform as good as it used to, unless it's just that I was used to everyone in the bar wearing it, even some of us girls. 😂
@@sharfalor4244 trust me, if you remember Fahrenheit from the early 90s you'll appreciate the Milton Lloyd version, its more true to the original than diors current one. It lasts all day on my skin, and can still smell it on my clothes next day. I paid £6 for my Milton Lloyd one, I don't often buy copies, but with "The Man Cobalt" it's definitely worth a shot. 👌
Givenchy Gentlemen Reserve Privee was the first "real" colonge I bought a few months ago. So far it's my favourite scent and I really enjoy wearing it.
What i love most is not that you give good fragrance advice, or recommend the best fragrances but it's your humour that keeps me coming back. Keep up the good work sir!
Nautica Blue is such a fantastic filler fragrance. I use it in the summer whenever nothing special is going on but I still want to smell good. It punches WAY above its weight
You’re right I’m a fragrance addict. I gave away some of mine and just keep the ones I truly wear and love. Majority niche but hey can never go wrong with Bdc Parfum as a signature
A big thank you to Antonio indeed. It was one of his other videos that led me to your shop, and my bottle of your Signature Por Homme just arrived today. Between the scent and the presentation, I can tell how much passion went in and it is wonderful. So thanks to you George, and thanks to Antonio for introducing me to your work.
My favourite perfumes from an 80+ collection are: 1. Xerjoff Alexandria II 2. Dior Homme Parfum 3. Tom Ford noir extreme parfum 4. Tom Ford soleil neige 5. Dior Savage elixir 6. Nishane hacivat 7. Montale blue amber
The thing about Dior is it usually knocks out all other fragrances in the room, it lets ppl know you’re here. But my go to in summertime is the Versace Man Eau Fraiche. My wife hates when I wear because of the attention it gets. Ppl just leaning in to smell you, especially women and the gents begging to know what it is. On the the pricey side Bond no.9 Bleecker St. The most complemented fragrance I own.
I have owned and tried many fragrances over the last years, but I’m now trying to keep only 10 (MAX). You can only love so many scents and constantly wear them.
My top picks Winter: -A*Men by Mugler -La Nuit De L'Homme EDT by YSL -Rebel by Pete and Pedro Summer: -Versace Pour Homme Dylan Blue -Hugo by Hugo Boss -Blue by Nautica And then everywhere in between I wear Armaf Très Nuit and Pete and Pedro's King because I can't afford Green Irish Tweed 😅 I do have a 1.5ml sampler of GIT but it is only for the most special of occasions
I have around 50 fragrances, the top 5 I gravitate to for various reasons are . Versace The Dreamer Dior Fahrenheit D&G Light blue forever D&G The one EDP Calvin Klien Escape
Here's my top 5 worn frags in 2022, Antonio: 1. Haeckels - Pegwell Bay. This is THE best fragrance for anyone who loves sea / salt notes. It's an olfactory work of art, lots of naturals in there and it is a summer / spring frag that really lasts. Amazing. 2. PDM - Carlisle. As Antonio said, it's such a fabulous cold 🥶 weather perfume. Knockout. 3. Histoire de Parfums - 1740 (Marqiis de Sade). If you want the animalistic, filthy, fizzy and beast mode perfume - that is proper perfumery (not designer crap) - then go for this. Sex, leather chairs, intimacy, filth and decadence in a bottle. 4. Hermes - Equipage. I had Equipage Geranium last year and switched up to Equipage this year. Clean, soapy, floral, fresh, wet. 5. Xerjoff Naxos. Best frag ever. Worth every penny. Smell like a King 🤴 Honorable mention - Guerlain Habit Rouge EDT, Diptyque Philosikos, L'artisan Parfumers Timbuktu.
Top winters are Layton, Carlisle and Chanel Bleu. I bought TF’s Oud Wood and MM’s Jazz Club and not loving them at all. Also tried Creed Aventus and was too much and overpriced. My spring and summers are Profondo and Dior Cologne. Looking for another good winter and spring summer fragrance that isn’t Sauvage. Thanks for any help.
I like you have over 500 fragrances and off the top of my head a few I can’t get enough of are: Cartier L’Envol EDT, Fougere Royal by Houbigant, Tragedy of Lord George Penhaligon’s, Floris Elite
Great video, Antonio My top 3….. my collection is small and hopefully stays like that (30 fragrances) - Royal Water by Creed - Beau de Jour by Tom Ford - Apple Brandy by Kilian If you rush me, I can add Bentley for men (original). That cheapie is fantastic, and I left behind CH Men Prive and TF Noir Extreme and Grand Sour by MFK Happy holidays
"Decants are the way to go for satisfying the desire for novelty and variety. Explore as much as possible, learn which ones you really love, and then buy just what you'll actually wear." -Advice I'd give others, but can't seem to follow myself
I buy decants but amazingly 90% of them I'd buy a bottle of if I had that kind of money. However, out of the three blind buys of full bottles I've done, one I love, another is ok and the third I hate.
Shout out from Nairobi, Kenya. Bleu De Chanel EDT does the magic for me. I layer it with molecule 01. We have a scorching heat summer here and I garner alot of compliments while at it. Also, the quality of the compliments is enchanting.
@@jOr2187 Spray on a ratio of 1:1. Start with Molecule 01 on the right side of the neck followed with one spray of BDC. Do the same for the left side of the neck, back of the neck, and chest. This will last you 5+ hours. In the evening you can add two sprays of BDC on the trunk of your sweater. Strangers will compliment you when they catch a whiff. 😊
Oud Scents are my favorites, so 1) Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomade, 2) Ignitio Oud for Greatness. When I want a great non-oud fragrance it is Frederic Malle Noir Epices or Dior Tobacolor. Finally, when I want to appear business ready, I like Beau de Jour from Tom Ford.
Fall/Winter picks: Gucci intense OUD, Bvlgari Man in Black, Versace OUD noir. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them. Spring/Summer: Armani Code EDP, Bleu de Chanel parfum and Bvlgari man Wood nerioli. What do you think scenteno?
My top picks are: Summer: Hermes TdH eau givree Winter: Givenchy Gentleman reserve privee No-Brainer: Bleu de Chanel Can‘t live without YSL bleu electrique Offtopic: Just found on holiday in france a book „when the allies created fashion/ ww2 war uniforms that have become icons“… you would love it
200+ collection.. some of my favs..favs... Montale: oudmazing, pure gold.. Tom Ford: tobacco Vanille, Noir Extreme... Imaginary Authors: O'unkown, every storm a serenade... and last.. Akkad by Lubin
Signature scents for me are Creed- Millesime Imperial in the Spring/Summer, and Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme for an all year round one, very versatile!
Loved your description of PdM Layton Exclusif, and your disclaimer. Can't stop howling over that. Your sense of homour keeps me coming back to your channel.
My TOP 3 for Winter: 1. Dior Homme (2005 version) 2. Guerlain L´Homme Ideal 3. JPG Le Male TOP3 for Spring/Summer: 1. Chanel Egoiste Platinum 2. Creed Silver Mountain Water 3. Armani Acqua di Gio My TOP3 for Fall: 1. Creed Aventus Cologne 2. Hermés Terre d Hermés 3. Bottega Veneta Pour Homme
I got a big Sample bottle of azzaro most wanted And I'm loving it Got it at Macy's the other day I've been wearing it for the last 2 days around the house
My frequent flyers have been Bleu de Chanel Parfum Eight & Bob original Naxos Tobacco Vanille By the Fireplace Un Air d’Apogee Oajan I have a travel size of Apple Brandy on the rocks but it’s not my fave from Kilian. I like Angel’s Share but Oajan by PdM is a more affordable per ml alternative with a 90%+ similar mid and dry down.
I got into fragrances but instead of buying the bottles, I get the samples, saves so much space and is very cheap, great if you collect for the smell and not the bottle. And if you find one you love then you get the bottle 💁🏻♂️
for the last 20 years I have chosen one universal fragrance that I could wear every day and then another that I could wear according to my mood. and after trying many samples, only three scents excited me. chanel egoiste platinum my everyday thing. hermes h24 EDT, hermes Tere d Hermes Edp. In the past, I liked Yves Rocher Altika, but it is no longer produced. another scent that I like Is Dior Eau Sauvage from 60' s . Greetings from Czech republic I like your you tube chanel and the way you talk about fragrances there.
My top pic is Tom Ford's Ombre leather EDP. I never liked it when I sprayed it on the tester strip but when I tried it on skin I was shocked and amazed. I immediately got a bottle of it.
If you can get your hands on it, my favorite cologne is the original “midnight” cologne by bath and body works. Not to be confused with the new one. It comes in a dark blue bottle. I swear it’s the best cologne I’ve ever smelled. It’s rare and hard to find. It’s not made anymore. I’ve had it for years and use it only on special occasions. I promise you won’t regret it.
Best complimentry fragrances that have garnished the best response for me are Byredo's Bal d'afrique and Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur Both lay close to my skin, getting close and intimate to get that warm cozy vibe.
Antonio, greetings from one of your favorite places to vacation, Puerto Rico! Since you were in the military, I Will like to see a video on fragrances that suitable to use on uniform while on garrison. You should know, not so strong or offensive but make you smell and feel fresh. Thanks and keep the good job.
Lately I’ve really been enjoying John Varatos artisan. The cool down in this stuff is incredibly unique! My go to scents are Burberry original, Brit, and touch. Great line up!
My face lit up when you mentioned Givenchy Reserve Privee, Antonio. I recently went shopping at Macy’s for Bleu de Chanel or Versace Eros but was sold on Givenchy by the lady working the cologne section. She was ecstatic to show me this new Gentleman line from Givenchy, a house I had never heard of until that day and I’m so glad I went with it. Apparently the royal family wears Givenchy according to this employee, but who knows if that’s true and that’s beside the point anyways. I was deciding between Society and Reserve Privee and I’m very glad I went with the latter because it’s deep, rich, mature, and very manly and I can’t wait to wear it out on dates. Great video!
I prefer niche. My go to is Au Coeur Du Desert by Andy Tauer. It's one of Luca Turin's 5 star scents. Another 5 star I bought and love is Korrigan by Lubin, an almond scent.
Antonio, please do a video with Justin Copeland! either a joint video or a reaction video! He's one of the best personalities on fragrance and incredibly stylish.
i love azzaro the most wanted (parfum). i wear it with 3 sprays. one in the back of my neck and the other two on the chest. it last so long and the performance is fantastic. The fragrances i got the most compliments for is sculpture homme from nikos (eau de toilette). smells very good and the ladys love it.
I tested Mont Blanc Legend the other night. At first I was pretty impressed but within 10 minutes it seemed to go stale. Now to be clear, I had Legend on one wrist and John Varvatos XX Artisan Teal on the other and the Teal smelled terrific but wasn't much impressed by Legend. In fact, it gave me a headache and reminded me of the smell of my friends house in the 80s because his dad wore something similar and the smell in the house was a stale version. Maybe I'm missing something.
My fragrances that I consistently wore multiple times this year: Cartier Oud Radieux Coach For Men John Varvatos Dark Rebel Xerjoff Tony Iommi Monkey Special Source Adage NYC Monto'ac Amouage Bracken Man Carolina Herrara Mystery Tobacco
I recently picked up le male le parfum and D&G the one luminous night and they both blew me away in terms of a quality winter scent. I usually lean towards the freshies and have a hard time finding darker fragrances. These 2 went beyond my expectations!!
@@Aragon1193 so smooth!! I like to reserve luminous night for date night, and usually le male le parfum for later that night, if u catch my drift 😉. I also grabbed issey miyake noir ambre last year and that's beautiful as well. I reserve that for special occasions such as weddings and Christmas dinners
Gentleman Reserve Privee, my current favorite. I don't have a big collection, but my go-to are D&G The One, YSL Bleu Electrique, Armani Code, Bleu de Chanel and 2 clones: CDNIM and Asad.
I love black orchids and owned it years ago. I have something something leather now and wear it occasionally. I really like the vintage eau sauvage dior and the modern one too, have both.
Tom Ford - Tobacco Vanille (this has replaced Hugo Boss vanilla perfume "boss" I believe it's called) YsL - Y Bentley - Intense Viktor Rolf - Spicebomb extreme I'm very much wanting to try your Apple Brandy recommendation, Antonio.
Black Phantom is the only by Kilian fragrance you might need. A more affordable alternative is Van Cleef & Arpels Orchide Leather. No leather but Cacao.
My all time favorite is The Original Creed Aventus (2010-2014). Not talking about any Aventus Clone by the House of Creed that they introduced after 2015, but the real one. Wish they would reintroduce it, I would easily pay 4-digits for the original one. That was pure heaven.
@@andrejtefs4518 Proves you know Aventus around 2015 or later. Probably recently. Which leads to yes, it's now just a perfume, a very bad one. You can now tell whatever you want. People who know Aventus longer know that only people new to it don't understand what it was.
@@S6OOL ok I recently got a Parfum tester version of Creed aventus. Tbh if somebody is paying 300 for this I am out. But about older batches Idk. Is CDNIM as smoky as Aventus used to be? CDNIM LE is Almost the Same as Creed in the opening
Loved your picks! Tom Ford noir extreme is one of my fave fragrances for men 🥰 one of my hubby's signature scents as well, though personally I do prefer the original edp 😊
my favorite fragrance is prada lhomme L'EAU, im not looking to turn heads, but i get maany compliments of "you smell pleasant". Best for smelling sexy is amrnai stronger with you, not the most amazing fragrance, but people in general just love it.
I have a much smaller collection of 40 fragrances lol I mostly wear Versace Man eau fraise(by far my most complemented), Dior Homme 2020, TF Ombré Leather & Oud Wood, & Bleu De Chanel EDP. You guys wouldn’t believe how much I get stopped and asked what I’m wearing when I gave on Versace Man eau fraise! It’s really an incredible cheap sleeper fragrance that every guy should own!
Amouage Myths ManInterlude and Lyric Man, Creed Bois du Portugal , Guerlain Habit Rouge ,MFK Oud, Prada Amber Pour Homme , Creed Royal Oud are in my regular rotation. some pricy but beautifully crafted
My only concern is that if you own a collection wouldnt they expire before you use them all? I dont think its possible to use all the colognes in a span of 3 years
Laughing because going from Egoiste to H24 is a HARD left turn my friend! But I’m impressed that my two favorite Chanels made the list. They’ve truly stood the test of time. I have Ebene Fume and I have to say, I love the scent profile , but the performance is really underwhelming. Appreciate the Zaharoff suggestion. Will check it out. Happy holidays.
My problem is that my favorite scent isn't just one. It's a layered mix of Tom Ford Oud Wood, then Grey Vetiver. Either have their own place alone, but together just seems to be perfect. And therein lies the problem as purchasing both gets pricey. The other I enjoy is the old school Sean Jean Unforgiveable. Found a bottle in the back of the cabinet I bought when it first came out. Forgot it was there for like 15 years. I can wear it now and have it solid for 8 hours. I wish they made them now like they used to, but it seems the trend is give them a wiff so they come in closer. Can't say I disagree, but a little better perdormance would go a long ways with many of the current offerings.
Classic Azzaro and Paco Rabbane should be must tries for everyone. Paco got me on the fragrance journey. Well it was Brut that did it for me but it was Paco that got me a lot of love from women my age at the time 19-23. I found Azzaro in a TJMaxx and bought it for my dad because I always used his Paco. I was surprised at the similarities yet differences. Theyre both timeless to me. I hit the jackpot when I saved up and bought YSL Rive Gauche, designed by my favorite perfumer to be like those classic barbershop scents. I sprayed too much and it always gave me a headache but after I learned how to not overdo, my female customers were stopping to tell me to never stop wearing it. It was a hit with both young and old. Very good YSL but unfortunately it got discontinued but that's OK because the same perfumer that made it also made Opium pour homme and I much prefer an oriental. I get annoyed that at the time no one wanted Rive Gauche pour homme but ten years later I go to buy a bottle and it's on ebay for ten times the price I paid ($37). Why? Because Tom Ford is associated with it. It wasn't Tom's frag that was Cavillieres invention.
My top picks Montabbaco by Ormonde Jayne Oud for Happiness by Initio Parfums Eau de Cedre by Armani Bois De Portugal by Creed Aventus by Creed Santal 33 by Le Labo Another 13 by Le Labo Tam Dao EDP by Diptique Tempo EDP by Diptique Moonlight to Heaven by By Killian Roja Haute Luxe by Roja Parfums Black Orchid EDP by Tom Ford Terre D’Hermes by Hermes Un jardin sur le nil by Hermes Just my favourites but there are so many I can add to this list.
I loved Chopard Heaven. Now my not too obvious choices are: Joop Nightflight, L eau par Kenzo, Salvador Dali Le Roy Soleil, Givenchy Insense Ultramarine, Fahrenheit, Aqua di Gio, Davidoff Cool Water. Don't like most new fragrances. They're either too manly with wood, leather and whisky notes, or too repetitive and not very much distinctive. The ones I've mentioned may be old, but so original and unforgettable to your nose.
Mine: Dior Homme Sport Prada Luna Rossa Carbon CAHSEE Tom Ford Oud Wood Gucci Guilty Black Jazz Club Prada L’Homme Vera Wang Dunhill Custom Creed green Irish tweed
Been a Fahrenheit fan since junior high I'm 41 now but it's my go to another one I love my father use to wear is The Baron it gives a fresh out the shower sent everyone want to know what I have on and it lasts for days

Lol no thank u
We love you from Spain anyway... 😉
i think you must not own more then 365 Fragrances...
Thats actually a brilliant idea
5:11 - "Ibiza is in Spain" NOT in Greece - I'm only "human" after all :)
Why did you put that in quotes...? 🤔👽👾
Ibiza. The famous Greek island. 🇬🇷🇬🇷

Honorable mentions: Virgin Island Water and Azzaro Chrome

Ibiza is a Spanish island just to let you know for future vids. Loewe's fragrances are simply the best
I’ve learned my lesson 🤣
Yes Lowes...
They are a lumber yard when not busy making junk
Thank you Antonio, I appreciate your support! Zaharoff Signature was the scent that launched 1000 scents (or 15!). Thank you Antonio!

Can I ask how many sprays you usually apply? I hardly experience these reactions when wearing fragrances

Here's my top 5 worn frags in 2022, Antonio:
1. Haeckels - Pegwell Bay.
This is THE best fragrance for anyone who loves sea / salt notes. It's an olfactory work of art, lots of naturals in there and it is a summer / spring frag that really lasts. Amazing.
2. PDM - Carlisle.
As Antonio said, it's such a fabulous cold 🥶 weather perfume. Knockout.
3. Histoire de Parfums - 1740 (Marqiis de Sade).
If you want the animalistic, filthy, fizzy and beast mode perfume - that is proper perfumery (not designer crap) - then go for this. Sex, leather chairs, intimacy, filth and decadence in a bottle.
4. Hermes - Equipage.
I had Equipage Geranium last year and switched up to Equipage this year. Clean, soapy, floral, fresh, wet.
5. Xerjoff Naxos.
Best frag ever. Worth every penny. Smell like a King 🤴
Honorable mention - Guerlain Habit Rouge EDT, Diptyque Philosikos, L'artisan Parfumers Timbuktu.
Try Guerlain Heritage, it’s way better than Habit Rouge IMO
My favorite from my collection
Naxos
Carlisle
Santal royal
Dior homme intense
Dior homme sport
Sauvage elexir
Nishane hacivat
Top winters are Layton, Carlisle and Chanel Bleu. I bought TF’s Oud Wood and MM’s Jazz Club and not loving them at all. Also tried Creed Aventus and was too much and overpriced. My spring and summers are Profondo and Dior Cologne. Looking for another good winter and spring summer fragrance that isn’t Sauvage. Thanks for any help.
I like you have over 500 fragrances and off the top of my head a few I can’t get enough of are: Cartier L’Envol EDT, Fougere Royal by Houbigant, Tragedy of Lord George Penhaligon’s, Floris Elite
I’m stuck on jimmy choo man at the moment and I fear change when it comes to my cologne but I’m digging some of these on this list
Great video, Antonio
My top 3….. my collection is small and hopefully stays like that (30 fragrances)
- Royal Water by Creed
- Beau de Jour by Tom Ford
- Apple Brandy by Kilian
If you rush me, I can add Bentley for men (original). That cheapie is fantastic, and I left behind CH Men Prive and TF Noir Extreme and Grand Sour by MFK
Happy holidays
Very nice top 3. On my list too.

This will last you 5+ hours. In the evening you can add two sprays of BDC on the trunk of your sweater. Strangers will compliment you when they catch a whiff. 😊
Oud Scents are my favorites, so 1) Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomade, 2) Ignitio Oud for Greatness. When I want a great non-oud fragrance it is Frederic Malle Noir Epices or Dior Tobacolor. Finally, when I want to appear business ready, I like Beau de Jour from Tom Ford.
Very nice!
I just ordered a nomade decant. Oud for greatness is nice as well. So far my favorite Oud fragrance is Royal Oud by Creed. Too bad it’s discontinued
@@AZ-gs6hj It’s not. They just can’t get the ingredients right now.
@@assreductionist8575 Good to know. I just received another sprayer sample so should last me a few weeks to see if I really want a full bottle or not.

Signature scents for me are Creed- Millesime Imperial in the Spring/Summer, and Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme for an all year round one, very versatile!
Luna Rosa carbon is by far my most versatile. Then azzaro’s the most wanted.
Loved your description of PdM Layton Exclusif, and your disclaimer. Can't stop howling over that. Your sense of homour keeps me coming back to your channel.
I have been using Terre De Hermes for a year now and I have received a lot of compliments.

My frequent flyers have been
Bleu de Chanel Parfum
Eight & Bob original
Naxos
Tobacco Vanille
By the Fireplace
Un Air d’Apogee
Oajan
I have a travel size of Apple Brandy on the rocks but it’s not my fave from Kilian. I like Angel’s Share but Oajan by PdM is a more affordable per ml alternative with a 90%+ similar mid and dry down.
My top 5 is:
Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
Tru Western Cowboy Gunslinger
Versace Eros Flame (EDP)
Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privée
You should try the Yves saint Laurent Opium Edt i think you would love it!
I got into fragrances but instead of buying the bottles, I get the samples, saves so much space and is very cheap, great if you collect for the smell and not the bottle. And if you find one you love then you get the bottle 💁🏻♂️
for the last 20 years I have chosen one universal fragrance that I could wear every day and then another that I could wear according to my mood. and after trying many samples, only three scents excited me. chanel egoiste platinum my everyday thing. hermes h24 EDT, hermes Tere d Hermes Edp. In the past, I liked Yves Rocher Altika, but it is no longer produced. another scent that I like Is Dior Eau Sauvage from 60' s . Greetings from Czech republic I like your you tube chanel and the way you talk about fragrances there.
My top pic is Tom Ford's Ombre leather EDP. I never liked it when I sprayed it on the tester strip but when I tried it on skin I was shocked and amazed. I immediately got a bottle of it.
Yeah. I like it too 👍
One of the best of all time
If you can get your hands on it, my favorite cologne is the original “midnight” cologne by bath and body works. Not to be confused with the new one. It comes in a dark blue bottle. I swear it’s the best cologne I’ve ever smelled. It’s rare and hard to find. It’s not made anymore. I’ve had it for years and use it only on special occasions. I promise you won’t regret it.
What does the bottle look like?
got my KENNETH COLE REACTION yesterday. love it
Best complimentry fragrances that have garnished the best response for me are
Byredo's Bal d'afrique and
Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur
Both lay close to my skin, getting close and intimate to get that warm cozy vibe.
Sharing is caring brother, find some of your viewers who have been watching you for over 10 years and let most of those things go.
'addicted to smelling something new' I think you just opened my eyes on my latest sickness!
Ibiza is in Spain and certainly worth visiting, Antonio! :)
Antonio, greetings from one of your favorite places to vacation, Puerto Rico! Since you were in the military, I Will like to see a video on fragrances that suitable to use on uniform while on garrison. You should know, not so strong or offensive but make you smell and feel fresh. Thanks and keep the good job.
Lately I’ve really been enjoying John Varatos artisan. The cool down in this stuff is incredibly unique! My go to scents are Burberry original, Brit, and touch. Great line up!
Mine doesn't last long
My go to
1. Paco rabanne Invictus
2. MONTBLANC Legend
3. Montblanc Explorer
My face lit up when you mentioned Givenchy Reserve Privee, Antonio.
I recently went shopping at Macy’s for Bleu de Chanel or Versace Eros but was sold on Givenchy by the lady working the cologne section. She was ecstatic to show me this new Gentleman line from Givenchy, a house I had never heard of until that day and I’m so glad I went with it. Apparently the royal family wears Givenchy according to this employee, but who knows if that’s true and that’s beside the point anyways.
I was deciding between Society and Reserve Privee and I’m very glad I went with the latter because it’s deep, rich, mature, and very manly and I can’t wait to wear it out on dates.
Great video!
I just got the Boisée today. 👌🏼
Xerjoff Naxos is my number one at the moment, especially now that its colder in Sweden. Wonderful wonderful perfume.
I prefer niche. My go to is Au Coeur Du Desert by Andy Tauer. It's one of Luca Turin's 5 star scents. Another 5 star I bought and love is Korrigan by Lubin, an almond scent.
Antonio, please do a video with Justin Copeland! either a joint video or a reaction video! He's one of the best personalities on fragrance and incredibly stylish.
i love azzaro the most wanted (parfum). i wear it with 3 sprays. one in the back of my neck and the other two on the chest. it last so long and the performance is fantastic.
The fragrances i got the most compliments for is sculpture homme from nikos (eau de toilette). smells very good and the ladys love it.
Paula's Ibiza is my go-to for summer! I get soooo many compliments. And nobody else wears it!
Aqua di gio profondo is my favourite, li use the other variations but profondo version is WAY BETTER,happy to see in your list
My two favorite colognes are Bleu de Chanel and la Nuit de l'homme. These are my go to.
Top 3 fragrances every guy needs:
Aqua Di Gio Profumo
Mont Blanc Legend (EDT)
Replica Jazz Club
I tested Mont Blanc Legend the other night. At first I was pretty impressed but within 10 minutes it seemed to go stale. Now to be clear, I had Legend on one wrist and John Varvatos XX Artisan Teal on the other and the Teal smelled terrific but wasn't much impressed by Legend. In fact, it gave me a headache and reminded me of the smell of my friends house in the 80s because his dad wore something similar and the smell in the house was a stale version. Maybe I'm missing something.
My fragrances that I consistently wore multiple times this year:
Cartier Oud Radieux
Coach For Men
John Varvatos Dark Rebel
Xerjoff Tony Iommi Monkey Special
Source Adage NYC Monto'ac
Amouage Bracken Man
Carolina Herrara Mystery Tobacco
I recently picked up le male le parfum and D&G the one luminous night and they both blew me away in terms of a quality winter scent. I usually lean towards the freshies and have a hard time finding darker fragrances. These 2 went beyond my expectations!!
I just got luminous night as well. I love it
@@Aragon1193 so smooth!! I like to reserve luminous night for date night, and usually le male le parfum for later that night, if u catch my drift 😉. I also grabbed issey miyake noir ambre last year and that's beautiful as well. I reserve that for special occasions such as weddings and Christmas dinners
OMG.
I currently have 75 fragrances (with multiple backups). I just stopped. Its getting too expensive. Impressive collection though
Gentleman Reserve Privee, my current favorite. I don't have a big collection, but my go-to are D&G The One, YSL Bleu Electrique, Armani Code, Bleu de Chanel and 2 clones: CDNIM and Asad.
I wish Givenchy would pick some better bottles for the Gentleman line. I've worn two and have no idea which ones they were.
I love black orchids and owned it years ago. I have something something leather now and wear it occasionally. I really like the vintage eau sauvage dior and the modern one too, have both.
Tom Ford - Tobacco Vanille (this has replaced Hugo Boss vanilla perfume "boss" I believe it's called)
YsL - Y
Bentley - Intense
Viktor Rolf - Spicebomb extreme
I'm very much wanting to try your Apple Brandy recommendation, Antonio.
Black Phantom is the only by Kilian fragrance you might need. A more affordable alternative is Van Cleef & Arpels Orchide Leather. No leather but Cacao.
Versace Blue Jeans is a classic that will live forever. Would love Versace to bring back Green Jeans.
My all time favorite is The Original Creed Aventus (2010-2014). Not talking about any Aventus Clone by the House of Creed that they introduced after 2015, but the real one. Wish they would reintroduce it, I would easily pay 4-digits for the original one. That was pure heaven.
Its just a perfume 😂
@@andrejtefs4518 Proves you know Aventus around 2015 or later. Probably recently. Which leads to yes, it's now just a perfume, a very bad one. You can now tell whatever you want. People who know Aventus longer know that only people new to it don't understand what it was.
@@S6OOL ok I recently got a Parfum tester version of Creed aventus. Tbh if somebody is paying 300 for this I am out. But about older batches Idk. Is CDNIM as smoky as Aventus used to be? CDNIM LE is Almost the Same as Creed in the opening
The old skool creed was amazing. New stuff is trash.
I really enjoyed this episode. I just discovered I’ll be living the same region as you soon. Hope to attend one of your master classes soon.
Loved your picks! Tom Ford noir extreme is one of my fave fragrances for men 🥰 one of my hubby's signature scents as well, though personally I do prefer the original edp 😊
my favorite fragrance is prada lhomme L'EAU, im not looking to turn heads, but i get maany compliments of "you smell pleasant". Best for smelling sexy is amrnai stronger with you, not the most amazing fragrance, but people in general just love it.
In the winter time Viking and Himalaya. Royal oud for special occasions and evenings
Just received my Chypre Fulminare from Naughton & Wilson - it's a stunner just like Gravitas is!
I have a much smaller collection of 40 fragrances lol I mostly wear Versace Man eau fraise(by far my most complemented), Dior Homme 2020, TF Ombré Leather & Oud Wood, & Bleu De Chanel EDP. You guys wouldn’t believe how much I get stopped and asked what I’m wearing when I gave on Versace Man eau fraise! It’s really an incredible cheap sleeper fragrance that every guy should own!
5. Creed Viking
4. Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum
3. Nishane Wulong Cha
2. BDC Parfum
1. Creed Bois Du Portugal
Amouage Myths ManInterlude and Lyric Man, Creed Bois du Portugal , Guerlain Habit Rouge ,MFK Oud, Prada Amber Pour Homme , Creed Royal Oud are in my regular rotation. some pricy but beautifully crafted
My favorite was Dior Fahrenheit 32, sadly they stopped making it. I loved that one so much
My only concern is that if you own a collection wouldnt they expire before you use them all? I dont think its possible to use all the colognes in a span of 3 years
Yves Saint Laurent Opium the Original is my favourite, everyone should try it!
Great list, VIW also reminds me of a vacation 😍
btw - Ibiza is pronounced :-
i (not eye)-bee-th-a 👍🏻
and it's a Spanish Island 🙃
Dior Elixir is my go to..... I get so many compliments from this
Laughing because going from Egoiste to H24 is a HARD left turn my friend! But I’m impressed that my two favorite Chanels made the list. They’ve truly stood the test of time.
I have Ebene Fume and I have to say, I love the scent profile , but the performance is really underwhelming. Appreciate the Zaharoff suggestion. Will check it out. Happy holidays.
Yes, yes! I fully agree…both Chanel Egoiste and Platinum Egoiste are simply masterpieces!!! Jacque Polge, the MASTER, at his very best. 👊🏼😊
Nothing better than Green Irish Tweed IMHO...Carlisle is a close second! Merry Christmas Antonio!!!
My problem is that my favorite scent isn't just one. It's a layered mix of Tom Ford Oud Wood, then Grey Vetiver. Either have their own place alone, but together just seems to be perfect. And therein lies the problem as purchasing both gets pricey.
The other I enjoy is the old school Sean Jean Unforgiveable. Found a bottle in the back of the cabinet I bought when it first came out. Forgot it was there for like 15 years. I can wear it now and have it solid for 8 hours.
I wish they made them now like they used to, but it seems the trend is give them a wiff so they come in closer. Can't say I disagree, but a little better perdormance would go a long ways with many of the current offerings.
Classic Azzaro and Paco Rabbane should be must tries for everyone. Paco got me on the fragrance journey. Well it was Brut that did it for me but it was Paco that got me a lot of love from women my age at the time 19-23. I found Azzaro in a TJMaxx and bought it for my dad because I always used his Paco. I was surprised at the similarities yet differences. Theyre both timeless to me. I hit the jackpot when I saved up and bought YSL Rive Gauche, designed by my favorite perfumer to be like those classic barbershop scents. I sprayed too much and it always gave me a headache but after I learned how to not overdo, my female customers were stopping to tell me to never stop wearing it. It was a hit with both young and old. Very good YSL but unfortunately it got discontinued but that's OK because the same perfumer that made it also made Opium pour homme and I much prefer an oriental. I get annoyed that at the time no one wanted Rive Gauche pour homme but ten years later I go to buy a bottle and it's on ebay for ten times the price I paid ($37). Why? Because Tom Ford is associated with it. It wasn't Tom's frag that was Cavillieres invention.
I'm withyou on Zaharoff👍🏻....Are you talking about our Lady of Guadalupe in SA or Laredo?? I've attended both brother!!🙏🏻👌
I'm Spanish I never knew Ibiza was out of homeland. Thanks bro for letting me know
I know. Need to brush up on my geography 🤣
@@RealMenRealStyle it's ok bro. Little bit of troll won't hurt
the new BELCAM frags are great! the last longer than the originals; polo blue edt and aqua di gio
My top picks
Montabbaco by Ormonde Jayne
Oud for Happiness by Initio Parfums
Eau de Cedre by Armani
Bois De Portugal by Creed
Aventus by Creed
Santal 33 by Le Labo
Another 13 by Le Labo
Tam Dao EDP by Diptique
Tempo EDP by Diptique
Moonlight to Heaven by By Killian
Roja Haute Luxe by Roja Parfums
Black Orchid EDP by Tom Ford
Terre D’Hermes by Hermes
Un jardin sur le nil by Hermes
Just my favourites but there are so many I can add to this list.
I loved Chopard Heaven. Now my not too obvious choices are: Joop Nightflight, L eau par Kenzo, Salvador Dali Le Roy Soleil, Givenchy Insense Ultramarine, Fahrenheit, Aqua di Gio, Davidoff Cool Water. Don't like most new fragrances. They're either too manly with wood, leather and whisky notes, or too repetitive and not very much distinctive. The ones I've mentioned may be old, but so original and unforgettable to your nose.
Best winter fragrance of all time: Armani Attitude Extreme.
Mine:
Dior Homme Sport
Prada Luna Rossa Carbon
CAHSEE
Tom Ford Oud Wood
Gucci Guilty Black
Jazz Club
Prada L’Homme
Vera Wang
Dunhill Custom
Creed green Irish tweed
Been a Fahrenheit fan since junior high I'm 41 now but it's my go to another one I love my father use to wear is The Baron it gives a fresh out the shower sent everyone want to know what I have on and it lasts for days
