@@TheOlzeeit's a heavy hitter chypre. Bold, resinous, leathery plus lavender. A touch of animalic notes. The older formulations have crazy projection/longevity, but even today's formulation of Antaeus is still beast mode.
How is kouros or lagerfeld or halston or xeryus not on this list? Eternity? Brut? Stetson? Anteus? Some of your commenters are confused about alpha and masculine. Also....Polo green Cosmair edition was the powerhouse. Real oak moss. These newer mixes are nasty.
Antonio Puig Quorum should definitely be on this list. I remember wearing my pops back it Junior High school. I was definitely an Alpha in my class back then
Ive got 2 of them. I still wear Fahrenheit edt mostly around my house these days but it gets alot of use. I have polo green which i actually hate. Ive had the same bottle for YEARS lol. Just too green for me, sometimes I use it for an air freshener but then im like holy s*** and im instantly reminded why i hate it 😂
To be fair in 84 we said Drakkar even though we were referring to Drakkar Noir. And at the time, i actually did not know there was a plain Drakkar lol.
I wear Drakkar Noir and Paco Pour Homme as my daily depending on mood and season. I have a collection of 15 fragrances but I know I can always fall back on those two..
The Drakkar Noir is the king of alpha male perfumes for me too. Family guy, Drake, Michael Scott... just the sheer influence that this fragrance has had in the years when it was famous speaks volumes about its greatness.
Can't disagree with you on the Noir as I've never tried it but there is one thing I know for sure... if those people you listed ever came face to face with real men they would soil themselves
@@learnmathwithme3864 I meant the perfume is an alpha male scent. The guys I’ve mentioned have nothing to do with being alpha males. I just mentioned the shows to say that it’s a really well known scent Lol
Even before seeing that THE FRAGRANCE was missing from the shelf, you just knew it was going to be featured. Edit: I was a bit surprised to see Kouros missing from the list.
12:04 Dior Homme Sport is one of the fragrances that I enjoy wearing the most. I didn't expect it to be here on this list of scents either however, I'm glad that it is 😅. Thank you for this video.😊😊
I remember in the late '80s me and some of the other guys from the neighborhood used to hang out and ride on our bikes and play Nintendo and all that stuff. One day we all doused ourselves in one kid's mom's boyfriend's bottle of Furyo. At the time we had no notion of how beastly the stuff was. Just a bunch of 12-year-old boys reeking of the most animalic fragrance ever. Rediscovered it again years later and it took me back all those decades. Man, that stuff is like a punch in the face compared to what they make nowadays.
I think PDM Haltane is a alpha male / boss of bosses type of fragrance. Walk into the room and you sence this deep smoky, woody, oud hit.👌👌 like a expensive cigar .
Hello from North Wales, I'm 55 & my dad is 85 & when he runs out of his number 1 choice Patrick Irish fragrance, he always rings me & says can I have the use of your Polo Green till my new Patrick arrives.
I've been wearing Aramis Devin for a little while now. It is like Aramis, but with pine needles in it. In other words, it is like a mixture of Aramis and Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, yet different than both of these. It is very masculine to me. Also, when I think of the 20th Century "man's man" I think of Ernest Hemingway. I recently found out that his signature scent was "America One 31" by Krigler. I'm curious if that is as masculine as my perception of him is.
Went out last night to our downtown new years eve block party. I wore Dior Fahrenheit. I counted 8 compliments. 6 from women and 2 from these Italian men wearing expensive suits and smoked cigars.
I have been hooked on your channel for way too long I need to get back to my girls but I can’t seem to leave … lol love your humor and learning so much .. ❤
Months ago when you switched from old desktop setting to whole new decoration I was not quite sure what was happening, now I can see you definitely needed an actual Stage for an amazing one-man show :) nice job man. Cheers
In year 2006 my Aunt gave gift of Dior Fahrenheit to my mom when I wasn't in US. I use to wear it all times. That time I thought that this is women fragrance bcz Aunt gave to my mom. I was like in maybe 19. I did like it lot.
Gucci Guilty absolute is one of my favourites. Bought a 150ml for around 35 off notino years ago and immediately ordered 2 more when i smelt it . 450ml for 105 isn't too bad imo haha
I currently have five on this list. Creed Green Irish Tweed, Farenheit, Polo Green , Drakkar Nior and the one left off Aramis. I love Aramis, my wife loves Aramis. It’s the quintessential masculine man’s man fragrance. I’ll never not have it, unlike you Ash.
Has to be Brut - the essence of man . Has probably outsold all the other fragrances here put together . It’s cheap , it’s still around and it still smells great
Polo Green, Drakkar Noir, Aramis, Grey Flannel, Obsession, Eternity, all fragrances I wore in Junior High and High School. Kouros was pretty popular back then as well. And YES, I still have my original bottle of the first release of Fahrenheit and it still smells like gasoline.
Jacomo de Jacomo! Do a review on it when you get a chance! A fragrance from 80s very masculine, warm, tobacco addictive fragrance! Used to wear it in late 90s when I was in high school. A scent that always remembered until now! I purchased it recently and absolutely love wearing it in cold weather! Please check this one out! Very affordable as well.
What would be your top 3 for a fragrance WITHOUT Bergmont or Patchouli? I'm struggling to find one for my husband and I can't stand the smell of those. It seems like everything has one or both of them. I LOVE Drakkar Noir BTW. Thanks!
I just purchased a large bottle of the most recent formulation of Polo... and it's trash. I'm still buying bottles of the first two formulations, BTW, thankfully with some success. Many of that era's bangers are now neutered beyond recognition by IFRA restrictions. Polo (Green), my favorite of all time, is perhaps the best (most egregious) example.
For me, without a doubt… Dior Eau Sauvage, and especially Dior Fahrenheit EDT. Then again, I am almost as old as dirt. Eau Sauvage, when you feel like being a little dressed up and Fahrenheit EDT for those scruffy unshaven, leather jacket, bad boy moments. For real though, Fahrenheit, 82 blue my face off when I first tried it, and wore it… Could easily be the greatest scent I’ve ever smelled… Holy Hannah! Not for the faint of heart, though and probably for an older dude who still rocking it
I think more dudes in the 80's wore Drakkar Noir than ADG, Eros, and Sauvage combined now.
King Kouros (YSL), Drakkar Noir and and probably any other 80s Powerhouse can be considered the Alpha Male fragrance i would say. Nice video! :)
Dior Fahrenheit Edt is my all time favorite. I have a 50ml 1985, 100ml 1995, another 100ml 2005, and the current formulation. I also love the Parfum.
Chanel platinum egoist needs to be here
Agree😊
More like Chanel Antaeus
@@TheHarlequinCrest not smelt that one. I need to

@@AdamB12One of those scents where even reformulations cant destroy him😂
Just to be fair Ash, Creed isn’t the only house to use ghost perfumers and pretend it’s from them 😂
Pacco rabanne Pour Homme is a Masterpiece!
You captured my Sauvage Elixir comment delivery and emotion perfectly 👌. Thanks for all you do.
!!!

Drakkar Noir ftw
Chanel Antaeus also, so masculine ❤
Has no one ever smelled Jovan Musk? Gravity? English Leather? Brut?😢
The background music is so relaxing that i can watch an hour video without skipping
Antonio Puig Quorum should definitely be on this list. I remember wearing my pops back it Junior High school. I was definitely an Alpha in my class back then
Agreed 100%. Was my fragrance of choice for awhile and is in my weekly rotation
yup , been rocking Quorum as a dailey dumb reach ,
Only YSL KOUROS
This should have been the number one in this list.
KOUROS YES !!
Ive got 2 of them. I still wear Fahrenheit edt mostly around my house these days but it gets alot of use. I have polo green which i actually hate. Ive had the same bottle for YEARS lol. Just too green for me, sometimes I use it for an air freshener but then im like holy s*** and im instantly reminded why i hate it 😂
Gucci Guilty Absolute was my vote as well, what an outstanding scent. Absolutely love it.
For me it would always be Brut classic by Fabrage.
Truly an Essence of Man.
Barbershop type scents will always be awesome..
To be fair in 84 we said Drakkar even though we were referring to Drakkar Noir. And at the time, i actually did not know there was a plain Drakkar lol.
Where is Chanel platinum egoist?
This community has great taste, so I’m not surprised at all with this list. 🤘
Wheres Antaeus? Love that stuff. Classic chypre. I feel like a boss wearing it.
This guy “ash” just does not miss, the discipline the man holds is what I need!!!
Back to back videos 🤯!!!
Why put his name is quotations?
I go with Antaeus💪😎
Joop! Homme
Drakkar Noir
Polo Green
🇺🇸
I can't think of anything more masculine than Kouros
Azzaro Pour Homme sits firmly in the masculinity hall of fame
I wear Drakkar Noir and Paco Pour Homme as my daily depending on mood and season. I have a collection of 15 fragrances but I know I can always fall back on those two..
Well, when i wear my Hai Karate ..women flock to me and men fear me....total Alpha
Viktor & Rolf SpiceBomb and John Varvatos Rebel Rider are Amazing too! Migler6 Alien man, and Bvlgari Man Wood Essence should be in there somewhere
My two would be Bulgari Black Orient and TM Pure Malt
Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
The Drakkar Noir is the king of alpha male perfumes for me too. Family guy, Drake, Michael Scott... just the sheer influence that this fragrance has had in the years when it was famous speaks volumes about its greatness.
Can't disagree with you on the Noir as I've never tried it but there is one thing I know for sure... if those people you listed ever came face to face with real men they would soil themselves
Drake is far from manly, let alone an alpha male lol.
@@learnmathwithme3864 I meant the perfume is an alpha male scent. The guys I’ve mentioned have nothing to do with being alpha males. I just mentioned the shows to say that it’s a really well known scent Lol
Calvin by Calvin Klein - which unfortunately they don't make anymore - would be my ultimate alpha male fragrance.
I like drakkar Intense. Got it for cheap. Anything with leather too. Burberry brit Rhythm was a banger.
I didn't think I'd like the intense because I'm not a fan of the original but I do like it. It's kinda generic but likable
@chrisblanchard1663 oddly enough I never tried the original or the noir.
Fahrenheit is the OG. I love to wear it these days, understanding that none have the stones to challenge this!

Drakkar Noir for the win!
Just go with Drakkar Noir and call it a day.
Drakkar noir also has been reformulated but when i wore it in 90s i tell you best cologne back then
As someone who really likes Toyboy, yeah I agree only a true alpha male can pull this off 😂💪🏾

Drakkar Noir should have been either the first mention or the last!
Slobery nobs and corn cobs
Creed Royal oud is another manly fragrance

WHAT ?l
No KOUROS !!
The Alpha of Alpha Fragrance
BENTLEY FOR MEN INTENSE....After 6 months of purchase I finally started enjoying it.
Fahrenheit was my favorite back in the day
Polo Green, Drakkar Noir, Aramis, Grey Flannel, Obsession, Eternity, all fragrances I wore in Junior High and High School. Kouros was pretty popular back then as well. And YES, I still have my original bottle of the first release of Fahrenheit and it still smells like gasoline.
Original bottle of Fahrenheit still has a punch? So the whole "fragrances expire in 3-4 years" is fact or fiction?
Total fiction. I still have bottles from years ago that are still great.
I still have a bottle of Obsession from the mid 80's and it is as great today as it was then!! A dark, smoky woman enticer!!!@@Peter95111
@@aringragsthey get better in fact. The scent develops more.
How about a review on Mizensir? Heard it has some super classy scents. Nice job!
Hi Ash, love the list with few more to add Bentley FM Intense and Lalique ANExtreme
Van Cleef & Arpels Tsar, old but gold
What happened in family guy that made him say drakkar noir? 😂
I love Gucci Guilty Absolute!
Have you done a daytime fall and winter fragrance video yet
Jacomo de Jacomo! Do a review on it when you get a chance! A fragrance from 80s very masculine, warm, tobacco addictive fragrance! Used to wear it in late 90s when I was in high school. A scent that always remembered until now! I purchased it recently and absolutely love wearing it in cold weather! Please check this one out! Very affordable as well.
Ive been waiting for this video! finally!
LAGERFELD PHOTO (rip) was my all time favorite alpha scent
Photo was great stuff!!!!!!!!
fahrenheit is my office cologne in Minnesota . I can get away with it in cold weather but in July ITS CAUSES PROBLEM
Make problems. Disregard solutions.
i really want a review/opinion on the burberry hero EDT/EDP
I'm surprised Dark Rebel didn't make it to the list!
Ralph luaren hired same perfumer that did pine sole for house cleaning to do polo green.
What would be your top 3 for a fragrance WITHOUT Bergmont or Patchouli? I'm struggling to find one for my husband and I can't stand the smell of those. It seems like everything has one or both of them. I LOVE Drakkar Noir BTW. Thanks!
I just purchased a large bottle of the most recent formulation of Polo... and it's trash.
I'm still buying bottles of the first two formulations, BTW, thankfully with some success.
Many of that era's bangers are now neutered beyond recognition by IFRA restrictions. Polo (Green), my favorite of all time, is perhaps the best (most egregious) example.
Do they vary much?
@TheOlzee Do they what very much?
The old and new formulations are that different?
Thank you for the video.
Ghost Perfumer is a great book. Very informative
Aramis Havana, Furyo and Obsession for men are alpha male frags too
Wish they hadn’t heavily reformulated Polo and Fahrenheit. Any clones of the original 1980s versions?
Fahrenheit is the only fragrance with a note of leather that I can take/like
For me, without a doubt… Dior Eau Sauvage, and especially Dior Fahrenheit EDT.
Then again, I am almost as old as dirt.
Eau Sauvage, when you feel like being a little dressed up and Fahrenheit EDT for those scruffy unshaven, leather jacket, bad boy moments.
For real though, Fahrenheit, 82 blue my face off when I first tried it, and wore it… Could easily be the greatest scent I’ve ever smelled… Holy Hannah! Not for the faint of heart, though and probably for an older dude who still rocking it
Bro where is Kouros ?
for me bentley for men intense is also alpha male worthy :)
Gucci guilty absolute is awesome!
Pierre Cardin, Obsession, The first Calvin Klein cologne.
Great video.
You should’ve put Kouros!!
Now this was a great video.
Lataffa maahir black edition is definitely an alpha fragrance
YSL Rive Gauche, most manly smell. Best smelling, is Fahrenheit.
Polo green used to have oak moss in it before that was restricted not sure if the re added that
PDM Carlise should be on the list 🔥
My vote goes to Kouros, and Aramis 2nd
Honorable Mentions: Jacques Bogart One Man Show, YSL Kuoros, Chanel Anteaus, Chopard Black Incense Malaki
Carlisle >
Just left Armani eau pour homme, Dior eau sauvage, Chanel pour monsieur and antaeus...
Aromatic fougeres didn’t go anywhere, they were just “modernized” to be weird shower gel scents full of ambroxan
I understood that Cary Grant wore Acqua di Parma Colonia.
