The best GQ Essentials are ALWAYS the ones WITHOUT the paid endorsements. I love how he safeguards his cologne -- totally relatable.

[@Duanhai92]

I've always been secretive of my signature scent, i'll always tell the person it's a different brand of perfume than what i'm wearing (if it's a stranger), and would tell alternatives that share the same notes to the fragrance that i'm wearing (if it's someone in my social circle). I really really don't like other people to smell like me and I can relate whole heartedly with him being secretive. I don't find it disrespectful at all.

[@charlottedesnoyers-cardin1498]

Well Said!!!

[@agleanerc]

absolutely

[@IONS-LEGACY]

He got it from Essence Vault - company that sells cheap dupes of designer fragrances

[@kenderay99w.60]

I think it’s silly to safe guard a fragrance. It’s not gonna smell the same on everyone anyway.

[@SarahMcKenzieF1]

This man's energy and charm are just UNMATCHED. I can't watch him without a huge smile on my face 😁

he has the most unusual accent and i love it, scottish and african is such a fun mix

[@sarahbayley2971]

It's a beautiful accent ❤

[@PedroGometz]

Watching him on Dr Who, I was picking up a Bristolian twang, a bit like Stephen Merchant. Unusual accent indeed!

[@itsonlysound]

It sounds more English than Scottish, except on certain words. When he said 'loads and loads' it def sounded Scottish.

[@azuredragon8388]

He somehow manages to combine an English, Scottish and African accent. I dunno how he grew up to speak that way but I want to hear that story

[@ry_jayy]

@@itsonlysound at 4:40 when he says "That won't go down well", his Scottish really came through

Hope this doesn’t come across weird, but can anybody use it and if so… how? 😅 Might actually look it up right now, but if you still end up seeing this and would like to respond, I’d be so appreciative.

[@icequeen620]

​@TheSkinnyZ of course anyone can use it!!😂

[@dawnlizreads]

Never seen Sex Education, so hadn't heard of Gatwa before he was announced as the new Doctor. Based on this video though, kinda excited to see what he'll be like. Think he has the right energy for the role.

[@rodanandme]

I only watched the first season of Sex Education but I thought Ncuti was brilliant in it, he’s definitely the breakout star of it and I was really delighted to see him land the role of The Doctor and appear in Barbie

[@sylvias1546]

Give sex education a go, you won’t be disappointed. It’s one of the best feel good series.

[@solomonsmith9480]

Celebes wood has the same look to it

He talks about oud incense so I’m guessing it’s an oud one

Astrology & nag champa, I like him even more!

[@MrPepelongstockings]

It's Mizensir, and one of their non-matte silver chrome bottles with a clear parfum. This could only be: Mizensir 3.3oz Eau de Gingembre, Celebes Wood, or Figuier. My money is on Gingembre as it's the clearest and has the most unique scent with a CO2 extracted ginger which keeps it whole and supposedly is 'spicy' like real ginger as a result. I frame by framed but unfortunately he covers it for all but one frame and there's a reflection in that one. All are similar scents, bergamot and wood, with either ginger or florals or tonka/vanilla added. $300 a bottle. I just got a small sample of each to try out at ~$8.00/oz + shipping.

[@andolkl]

Can you keep me updated? Or should i buy my sample pack instead haha
