10 Hyper Masculine But Still Wearable Fragrances - Smell Manly!

[@derekbuford7660]

Platinum Egoiste is on of My favorite fragrances ever

[@valueink]

PE is a masterpiece. I could be perfectly happy with it being my one and only fragrance for the rest of my life.

[@khalid7377]

Platinum Egoiste is one of the greatest fragrances ever created. An absolute masterpiece.

[@Tripokaridos22]

Agree amazing , but now its not the quality that it was, Doesnt project doesnt last and doesnt smell like it was. Terre on the other hand ...

[@Grandmaster_Sub-Zero]

​@@Tripokaridos22 True. It's just a shell of its original self now. Reformulation ruined it.

[@terribleterrier1685]

I'm so happy you featured Xeryus Rouge. I picked it up a couple years ago and keep going back to it for it's versatility and uniqueness. I think it works in so many situations, barring hot summer days, and can be simultaneously classy and exotic. The cactus note in it smells of a freshly opened jar of diced prickly pear, aka nopales. You also get a realistic pimento note which I love. Very underrated.

[@chrisw.1182]

Thanks for your videos. You’re doing a great job. Im enjoying your content and i like the videos with all that not well known fragrances instead all the sauvages , Bleu de chanel etc. Best wishes and greetings from Germany.

[@tstaunton1]

Terre de Hermes is incredible. I would suggest one of the very best ever

[@skrillix7486]

I love creed viking, one of the best examples for a modern fougere imo. The added rose and mint combination gives it a little twist and makes it more interesting.

[@joviromero9224]

I looove Xeryus Rouge ♥️ and Egoiste Platinum 💛

[@daniel__emil]

Great list! I’d put Grey Vetiver by Tom Ford in there too as a personal favorite.

[@Handstyles]

The original Luna Rossa is minimalistic elegance at its best. Platinum Egoiste is peak level though, 10 out of 10

[@jingledubz3989]

Great video, Ash! Gotta love those masculine scents! Nice list here. I’d like to add Sartorial to this list, as well as Lalique PH. Be well, Ash! 🤘

[@brianp.998]

I appreciate the inclusion of frags that I haven’t heard you speak about before. Especially for those of us that got into the game later than we should have.

[@cheong728]

Cactus have flowers, and they have a very strong smell. So it may not be a fantasy note.

[@KamahlsNotDead]

Always love Xeryus Rouge content. You can really feel its influence across SO many modern fragrances.

[@ToriZealot]

Layering Viking and Eau intense Vetiver works great!

[@snowliferwb]

Nishane b-612 Tiziana terenzi orion Initio oud for greatness Tom ford oud wood I find these very masculine yet very wearable.

[@dranek]

Bois du Portugal is a masculine beast

[@MXP250]

Can do a video on more scents like Polo Green?

[@Goldman-Khazar-Rothschild]

I recently wore Drakkar Intense after a long time. Forgot how amazing it smells. It actually has decent lasting power on clothing also.

[@HardkoreHiggins]

Thanks for sharing!! I sprayed on some Gucci Guilty Absolute right when I clicked on this video...

[@magnifiscents6707]

I love Hertiage by Guerlain. Think it could have been on this list! Loved your picks Ash!

[@johnborges5938]

Kudos for including HdP 1740 - you surprised me with this one. It's a great one for mixing it up now and then. I have Chanel Platinum Egoïste; it definitely belongs in this group. I think of it as "old reliable". To your list I'd add TF Noir Anthracite - similar vibe to PE but less of a throwback feel for me; and also Etat Libre d'Orange's Eloge du Traitre - it reminds me of smell of the local Quaker meeting hall with pine floors waxed to within an inch of their lives; sorta like a cleaned-up and suited-up Yatagan. Great - and useful - list. I'll have to get my nose on Rocabar now.

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day

[@angelodoesthings]

The original prada luna rossa on a wear has lasted me really long and I've gotten a bit of compliments from it for not wearing it too much, really love that fregrance.

[@IMODN2]

Still got my original chanel bottle . Got it when I was in my 20s and now I'm in my 30s . Definately a very masculine scent.

[@karlsenula9495]

Nice list ... without naming names there are people on youtube who specialize in old school fragrances and others who specialize in aftershave. Granted they aren't as trendy but they are out there and provide a nice balance to a collection.

[@MuddyGreenMonster]

10 more are Guerlain Derby, Karl Lagerfeld Classic, Creed Bois du Portugal/Lalique Pour Homme, Amouage Gold & Overture, Coty Steson Original, Tom Ford Tobacco Oud, Chanel Pour Monsieur & Aramis Tobacco Reserve

[@thefragrancevol753]

Creed Viking took some time to grow on me. I wasn't a fan of the overdose of pink pepper in the opening, but I've come to expect it and not mind it at all. The drydown isn't a slouch either, and I really like it. Overall, I think it's a solid fragrance that can be worn in any situation during the winter, and I will be giving it some usage as soon as fall starts

[@marks5043]

Xeryus Rouge was my signature fragrance of the late 90s. The vintage bottle is lot nicer, if you can find one. The fragrance seems to have changed little over the years, though. It is a very unique scent and I still love it

[@joshuarichardz6010]

Next purchase. Had 5 fragrances in my cart. Which 2 do I buy? Chanel Bleu De Chanel EDP. Chanel Allure Homme Sport Extreme. Dior Elixir. YSL Y EDP. Or Replica Autumn Vibes?

[@karlsenula9495]

Many of you may laugh but Stetson or Old Spice will also give you that blue collar manly man smell.

[@mrfuriouser]

They, seemingly, smell even BETTER today! I think it's because that type of "manliness" is going away, making it more special now.

[@karlsenula9495]

@@mrfuriouser... agree... what used to be overly common no longer is.

[@andrewpayne3298]

Well tonight I'm wearing aqua fahrenheit a masculine thing of beauty

[@trevorburns1779]

I'm a construction worker and I like to wear colognes but always get bugged about it . Can you recommend along lasting light sent ?

[@jimmy5634]

La Coste “Essential” Light, fresh, citrus and not strong. Dries down masculine. Not overpowering, but hot weather brings it out. Spray away! You can get it for $20-25 Salvatore Ferragamo “Pour Homme.” Very light citrus, dry, herbal, woody and v-e-r-y masculine. Manly men won’t complain. Not a date night scent. Go light on the sprays. It works well in the heat, but you can smell it in moderate warmth too. Hard to find. John Varvatos “Artisan Blue” Green and fresh, it has some wodsiness and it’s a bit sweeter than the other two. Still, very masculine. It’s my third choice. Go light on this one too.

[@diegocastaneda8225]

I think Ashton has a vid about long lasting fresh fragrances

[@Christian-rf7px]

Prada L'homme very light long lasting scent. other option, Issey miyake super majeur.

[@MrRaspopitul]

Try Mancera Lemon Line, no one will ever bug you about that one 😀

[@trevorburns1779]

[@tonmy21]

Ash has more Scents than my clothes since last decade Loved the dedication and your insights clubbed subtle humour is really 👍😎👍

[@jonathans.6259]

Dior's Leather Oud is my favorite masculine scent, definitely puts hair on your chest haha.

[@jimmy5634]

Salvatore Ferragamo Pour Homme’ Superb and very manly!

[@luckymetal13]

Drakkar Intense is a DIRECT flanker of the original Drakkar. The reason this has a modern-barbershop feel is because they did the same thing Drakkar Noir did with older fougeres of its time/day: modernize it.

[@ViriuZ7]

I would add Creed Bois du Portugal to this list.

[@hakunamatata6296]

Hello, Ash! Can you do a list of the best fragrances from the "Private/Higher-end" collection of designer brands? Would love to hear your thoughts.

[@IrregularTangent]

There only 3 reviewers that have done that well.

[@jijakyu]

He has a second channel where he reviews high end/niche stuff.

[@jonatan3318]

Hey Ash! I know we still want to have summer for some time but need to realize fall is coming soon. Think you can do a video or 2 for fall fragrances? Would love to hear about both some niche and some designer ones

[@karlsenula9495]

Sooooo is Creed Viking a much much more expensive Clone of Old Spice? 😈

[@290revolver290]

Giving us the Chris Evans vibe from The Grey Man 😂

[@IrregularTangent]

Is the original drakkar worth getting ash?

[@shpalman7]

I have Rocabar and Platinum Egoïste - actually I still have a bit left in my original aftershave bottle from the early 1990's - but on my skin Viking just smells like cloves and nothing else, which is annoying because I liked it on paper. Is there something similar but more synthetic which would be more predictable?

[@josephsnogren5300]

The bottle even looks Old Spice inspired.

[@tommarks3726]

Are there any men's fragrances that don't smell like powder or flower garden? Seems like everything I see and research has Iris, or lavender etc. Would love some feedback from the Gents scents family. Thanks everyone. I love my Wanted by night but not in summer time, it's Florida. I miss orginal i Polo Green.

[@wakeinthecity9]

i bought Zino in hopes of it smelling like Beau de Jour and immediately sold it lol

[@AbcDino843]

They do smell similar, after about 15-20 minutes, with Zino costing 11-12 times less.

[@fortheloveofmusicandphilosophy]

Platinum egoiste is great, but chanel antaeus is in my opinion better. I never see it on any perfume channels! So underrated.

Hey can you say if the Tom ford site on Facebook is real?

[@petarj.9620]

Creed Viking is ideal for men 35+, not for younger guys.

[@skrillix7486]

Imo it is pretty wearable for younger guys too. A friend of mine is 22 and viking is his signature. I never felt like it smelled "old manish" or dated on him. The rose and mint combination gives it kind of a cooling sweetness that smells absolutely great in the air.

[@alvarootero7025]

Do you guys know why a lot of new fragrances are borderline unisex?

[@bmoneybby]

Systematic stripping of masculinity and power from the populous the make us weak.

[@AbcDino843]

Because we don't know what gender is anymore?

[@Detman101]

Well...since "ZINO" is watered down potpourri-juice these days...I guess I'll have to pick up a bottle of "Beau de Jour".

[@AbcDino843]

Considering the price though, it's literally twelve times cheaper. It still smells nice when dry, and you can put more of it on.

[@Detman101]

@@AbcDino843 Yeah, I guess. I just can't be bothered. It doesn't project, doesn't last...I have other frags that are better. For Zino, all I have is memories....

[@AbcDino843]

@@Detman101 In other words, it's a perfect office fragrance for middle aged dudes like myself :). I think the problem with Zino is that it's an expensive, luxurious smelling fragrance but it doesn't have the performance to be worn in the situations that warrant it. For special occasions and outings, I moved on to Initio Side Effect and Layton, but for a more mature gentleman (40+), as a daily driver, refined and masculine, while staying polite and understated, Zino is fantastic, there's really nothing quite like it out there. There are other great office frags of course, just not in this category of scents, at least nothing I've been able to find.

[@Detman101]

@@AbcDino843 I guess you have a point. For less than $20 a bottle now, I could bathe in it and at least get a personal bubble of Zino. Back in the day when I wore it in high school I was paying $70 a bottle and never even finished the first one til I was in my 40s...lol. That 50ml bottle lasted, literally, FOREVER! (1993 - 2013)....

I am a discount diver so everytime someone asks me about a manly frag that has some individuality, doesn't break the bank and the noses of those around you, I easily suggest Derrick by Orlane .

[@jackh23]

Hey gents, I need your help! What designer fragrance would you recommend for a groom/wedding?

[@joe19912]

Prada L'Homme (intense if you can find it.) It's the ultimate dressy frag, but won't overpower the bride and guests.

[@slocat9926]

If it's for a younger groom, ysl y line, adg line prada black , carbon. Older gent drakkar, Mont blanc starwalker, LaYuqawam pour homme.
