[@siyaammsm7803]

Hi Yet another amazing video. I have a suggestion, check out Arabic oudh fragrances. they are expensive, but pretty enticing. They come in woody, floral, spicy etc. Check out Ajmal and Swiss Arabian Btw, oils cannot be sprayed they have to rubbed onto your body.

[@charlesfooler1135]

A great fragrance i would reccomend is blue de channel and the other is strong but only need one squirt is channel egoiste

[@charlesfooler1135]

oh ye thanks for tip how to store it thats how my armani code must have gone off

[@phus2001]

+Charles Fooler yes two good ones!

[@SVnerd]

You read my mind. Careful though with oud, some of it can be pretty strong if you run into people who disregard the one spray rule lol

[@SchoolBoy0001]

Hi Antonio, usually rubbing your wrists together is known as "dabbing." The reason this is a bad idea is because a fragrence works off heat. Rubbing your wrists together causes friction thus causing heat. Hence, this causes the molecules in the fragrance be disturbed thus interfering with the notes of the fragrence. The notes should be allowed to emit naturally not by causing friction. Hope this helps!

[@jana10330]

Need help here,,,what is thr size of Molecules ,is it size of peanut or musturd seed...please let me know so that I won't destroy them using with my wrist

[@jana10330]

Hi Jimmy,what is the size of molecules, it it like peanut ,sesame seeds or musturd seeds. please help me ,so that I won't destroy them with my wrist.

[@K.Finesse242]

Great explanation JIMMY

[@byKevinSamuels]

Hey there love your channel. As a fellow stylist and fragrance reviewer I'd like to add something here. One the biggest mistakes is not moisturizing. Yes applyihng out of the shower helps in this area however a body that moisturized with unscented lotion is better. Plus it helps your skin out. Second fragrance should be applied to pulse points meaning both writsts, either side of the neck and if needed base of throat. Most people drastically underspray, never get the effect, and then lose interest in fragrance. The amount of the spray depends on the atomizer and how heavy you go on the trigger. Less is more. Thanks for all you do. Kevin

[@JCMoorer]

I had no idea that cologne and perfume we're different strengths of scent. I always thought that one was masculine and one was feminine. Thanks for teaching us.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Jordan Moorer Glad it helped. :)

[@Redolessence]

Well said, Antonio! Great video!

[@gboyega]

Hey Steven, great to see you here.i love your reviews

[@Redolessence]

+charlie hernandez Thanks, guys!

[@phus2001]

It is a great video, like the others!!Thank you Antonio!!!

[@mmmssbb23]

It's like pope appreciating cardinal

[@nishaatalam209]

Hey Antonio , I don't know what is the correct word for rubbing of perfumes by parts is called but certainly I can provide you with the answer why not to rub it. Most fragrances contains alcohol in it which is volatile in nature ,also have a lower boiling pt. thus when we rub the spray with any part ,which is capable of producing heat , the alcohol vaporises quicker , resulting in lowering the fragrances and it's longitivity. Hope you might get reason . If yes let me know by an comment .

[@MegamanNova]

Nishaat Alam You are saying to avoid heat on fragrances? So i need to avoid pulse points when spraying on my body? Most say to spray on pulse points because it generates the most heat from the body activating the scent. Telling people not to rub perfumes is a myth. It contradicts everything from heat and molecule structures of chemical compositions such as perfumes. You cannot see a perfume molecule let alone destroy it by rubbing your wrists. Heat? Might as well spray on the coolest part of your body.

[@mailoli6617]

fragrances are made of a base note, a middle note, and a top note. by rubbing your fragrance, you're going to ruin your top and middle note so it's going to smell worst. hope that helps

[@pinkmuffin9842]

@@MegamanNova spraying on pulse points may make your fragrance stronger but defenitly not last longer. It evaporates faster.

[@HugoSantos78]

@@MegamanNova You must alow the fragrance to work by it self. It is recommended to spray them in the pulse point because they are heat points on the body and they alow the fragrance to spread. What you should not do is rubbing the fragrance because it will destroid the fragrance. Is basic quimistry and should be common sense. Not because of the alcohol in fragrances (lots of them do not even use alcohol in they're composition) but really because it will destroid the molecules in the fragrance (and yes you will destroid them during the day by moving your arms and such but if you could avoid doing it why do it?)

[@eduardosalavesen]

I love to wear the Versace Eros, Mont Blanc Individuel or YSL la nuit de l'home. These are masterpieces!

[@odinisyourfather4933]

Eros is the juice i spray when my puppy shits on our livingroom floor. Montblanc is ok, but far away from a masterpiece my son!

[@Trinidadthedestroyer]

Socronic C maybe it's a masterpiece to him. Instead of down him, tell what smells nice.

[@Nile15rush_fj]

Versace Eros is a straight chick magnet of a fragrance..

[@victorbazzone]

Eros is the greatest scent ever

[@paw1ak_248]

Yup

[@fosterb0320]

It's called "Bruising". It heats up the fragrance and can cause the "high" notes of the fragrance to fade, potentially quite significantly.

[@MegaGasek]

Thank you, very informative! I didn't know about the differences amongst Parfum, Eau and Cologne...

[@AnitaNewport]

What about number 6?! NEVER, EVER WEAR AXE!!!

[@hemme100]

Tyrone Morgan Axe is overpowering especially if you smell bad

[@carrfamily1986]

i would say that axe is super powerful and to be used extremely lightly. most use it as a shower in a can. but applied right and itll never be overpowering. i have had trial and error sucess with it and when i found the success its amazing

[@lewis5645]

And old spice

[@benutting3521]

Old spice is fine.

[@jujuguy2323]

At least Axe has better performance than all these skin scents on the market today. I wouldnt spend a dime in this junk today they call fragrances. Nothing but a bunch of clones and flankers that all smell alike and have mediocre performance

[@willestrada]

My favorite top 5 are 5. CK Red (summer edition 4. The One by Dolce Gabana 3. Light Blue by Dolce & Gabana 2. Suavage by Dior 1. Bleu de Chanel

[@anthonycannatajr9482]

My favorite is Givenchy Gentleman, I have been wearing it since 1977 and I absolutely love it; citrus, patchouli and amber. I have about 25 different eau de toilette that I wear. Each scent is good for different occasions or outfits. I sold men's tailored clothing for years and believe fragrance has the ability to enhance what one wears. For some reason I find the new colognes have a metallic smell I do not like, I'm not sure what it is I'm smelling...maybe some help on this? I prefer the classic scents all around.

[@MBVxD]

1:26 Harvey Specter And Donna?

[@ilirpirani]

yeah i noticed that too hahahaa

[@ilirpirani]

Brody Reed it is just fucking awesome especially the last season i watched 5 seasons i less than 2 weeks it is very addictive

[@TheDarksider27]

omg, i thought it was just me im a big tv fan

[@kwasiwilliams5014]

Wow you called it good. I love suits. Yep that's them lol.

[@khuhan12]

first thing that came to mind

[@bill4nier]

For me, I personally prefer when the deodorant, after-shave balm (cream or moisturizer), and colon are all the same scent. It does make it a bit more of a challenge to find, but the results - very positive. Just need to be careful in layering it on.

[@RevanMarek79]

Yes, 1 to 2 sprays is always good. I don't understand how much some people spray fragrance on themselves. They leave a trail of the scent for half an hour after walking somewhere. Not cool.

[@MrJ3]

Depends on the fragrance, a lot.

[@RevanMarek79]

Yeah but 1-2 is a good base. Some people actually smell like they've bathed in whatever the scent they're wearing.

[@MrJ3]

Revan Marek Yup! I think everyone should start out with 1-2 sprays anyway, and feel it out from there!

[@RevanMarek79]

One thing is, when people use the same fragrance daily. They get used to the smell and become desensitized to it themselves and therefore apply more and more. Others think you reek :D

[@Usercs7273]

They believe that will get them "girls"...

[@notimportant8806]

I like darker scents such as azzaro nightime or for special occasions armani black. I've used jaguar classic black and it smells great but it sprays way too much per pump that it drips down my neck, but only lasts for 2-3 hours.

[@darrickwhite1986]

It's called bruising the scent, or crushing the scent.

[@aomakki]

Another great video, Antonio. My personal top picks -Chanel: platinum egoïste (my al time favorite, signature scent -Parfume de Marley: Pegasus (super strong, last more than a day on skin, my date/special nights go to, ladies LOVE it) -Bath and body Works: Mahogany. (elegant and masculine, subtle scent) -Davidoff: hot water. (works well in hotter temperature +beach day+ spicy nights) -Mont Blanc :legend (classic scent for office and professional environments) -Baldessarini: Ambré (a lovely most elegant and warm smell, leans to an Eastern taste tho. Unfortunately difficult to find) Davidoff: cool water (great scent for daily use, at home for your family and loved ones, super fresh and easy on the nose, blends nicely with fresh toned deodorants)

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Abdallah “aldo” Makki Love the detailed comment. Thanks!

[@aomakki]

Real Men Real Style my pleasure. I have been meaning to try out "signature" scents like Tom Ford's. have you got the chance to try any? and your personal opinion on them; are they worth their price steep point or its all a marketing gimmick?

[@randaldominguez4139]

Abdallah M Marketing gimmick

[@bengarcia2074]

Call me a young body old soul but Cool Waters by Davidoff..... An absolute Classic; love it. Another is Eternity by Calvin Klein. For everyday use, most perry Ellis scents, mainly the more fresh musks. For night outs, suit attire, Vera Wang for men was and is a fragrance that captures me every time. Very well put together; my gentleman spray. One spray is enough for hours.

[@crazyrabbits]

I've been using Dior Homme (original formulation) for the longest time, though I limit it to special events/dates due to it being a bother around family. I find that the scent turns heads whenever I wear it. Second is my Prada Pour Homme Amber Intense. Kind of a loud, "fuck you" scent, great for big parties or nights on the town. On the lower tier of products I own are Bulgari Aqua, La Nuit de L'Homme and Boss Orange.

[@twin6987]

My top 3 are CD sauvage, D&G the one, and YSL La nuit d'le homme

[@MWmDGC]

La nuit de l'homme is the king of fragrances!

[@MightyRostam]

Yes, I agree. La Nuit de l'Homme is very nice.

[@diegomedina7344]

Agree! YSL La nuit d'le homme is one of the best! On My second choice will be CHANNEL BLUE.

[@Evil_Peter]

Great choices. I also enjoy CH Men a lot, which is also a bit more unusual to find where I live.

[@1puertorocc]

it seems YSL is everybody's choice as king of fragrances...thanx guys, ima check that one out

[@ibreedh8]

Top 5 because I change based on season. Summer: Diptyque Philosykos Spring: Valentino Uomo Fall: Fendi Fan Di Fendi Winter: Bvlgari Man in Black. General All Around: Dior Homme

[@BachDevotee]

I used to sell fragrance at a leading department store. We were told your fragrance should only be smelled by your most intimate friends! :D (Rubbing the fragrance into your skin "Bruises the scent."

[@moustachio334]

Yes fragrances that people can smell 4-5 feet away will just annoy other people and make them think you’re trying to hard (I made this mistake when I first started wearing fragrances in my late teens)

[@cristobal2445]

I have to recognize that I wear a wide variety of fragrances depending on the outfit, the season and my mood, but my favourites are, for winter or colder weather The One by Dolce & Gabbana and Ambré by Baldessarini. And for warmer weather L'Eau d'Issey by Issey Miyake, Lanvin l'Homme by Lanvin and Allure homme sport Extrême by Chanel. Great video Antonio, as always!

[@califmike2003]

CH Prive for men is the best or Acqua di Gio profumo can't go wrong with either one masterpieces

[@ibasiclypwn]

Hi Antonio, I've been following your progress for quite awhile now and just wanted to say your quality and execution is flawless. Video and sound are excellent, having more info available on your website, & even talking points in the description with time links are such a nice feature. Keep up the great work. Also thank you for serving, Navy vet here 2007-2011

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Thank you for watching :) Semper Fi!

[@Lord_Deimos]

Mainly Armani Code and Invictus from Paco Rabanne. Some girls at the office practically hit on me because they loved the smell.

[@farizfitrirusoff9842]

Dude how long your invictus last??

[@Lord_Deimos]

8-9 hours.

[@MrMlbfan6]

Tyrant mines last 14 hours

[@willa7632]

Invictus does perform so well, its just so common. I try to be more original. I smell invictus most places I go. But hey if the ladies love it.... Don't fix it if it aint broken.

[@mr.k4311]

Tyrant Azzaro Wanted is another great fragrance.

[@RyokoX37]

I use Hugo Boss Green for Spring and Summer. It's light and has a nice sweet citrus scent that isn't overpowering but subtle and pleasant. In fall I use Burberry London. It has the nice sweet berry scent with a spice to it, but nothing too heavy, but at the same time not being to light. And for winter I use Calvin Klein Intense Euphoria. It has a nice spice and wood note to it, but without being too heavy, but heavy enough to have a nice warm scent. One thing I also do is change up my deodorant, soap, and beard oil to properly accommodate each other. I've noticed people will have a several scents going at once that don't properly compliment each other and it becomes a mess. Good video, I learned a bit and I'm going to check out that site. I've had a few cologne's that I've been interested on getting because they smell good in the store, but I didn't have enough commitment to get a bottle because I wasn't sure how the scent would sit once applied to my body. I got burned once in the past where I bought a bottle because it was amazing in the store, but then after sweating a bit in the summer heat, it smelled for lack of better words off. My natural body scent didn't mend well with it after time.

[@GrayHuska]

Creed Aventus! Lasts 8+ hours, my girl is obsessed with it, and gets me amazing compliments. Good for 90% of occasions and all weather except very hot summer days! 👌🏻

[@dashdingo-aceit-nixon9738]

I like a various amount of fragrances and have tried MANY, hugo boss, diesel, million etc, but ive always leaned and used burberry scents. brit, touch and london - i'll always have those 3. i just love em for different occasions / times of year. london for the autumn / turn of winter with its warm intimate smells. touch to heat things up during summer time and brit to cool down during the earlier parts of the year where spring starts to set in. Touch burberry im rocking at the moment and i honestly love my own personal smell with fragrances.

[@cecar77]

Tom Ford Tuscan Leather is my all time favorite. It's so sophisticated and professional

[@beefsupreme7883]

Also my favorite next to Green Irish Tweed

[@martinann]

Curve Black, Michael Jordan and Kenneth Cole Black is what i utilize as well as interchange at times. They go well with my natural scent which is usually mild.

[@colinmurphy2214]

Call me mainstream but Bleu de Chanel is my favorite, it has fruitiness, but it is more of a blackberry than a watermelon. It maintains its masculinity with all of the different facets working together, and I feel that the scent develops the longer I wear it!

[@byKevinSamuels]

Perfect signature. I tell most of my clients and subbies the same.

Thank you for revealing this. I would like to sample this.

[@juansamudio1171]

same bro but versace blue is also my favorite

[@firstclassfrank]

I'm 21 and this was my first real purchase. So far I've gotten one compliment from an older woman. I didn't even realize I was close enough for her to smell.

[@7inchPapi]

M's Compositions try yves saint laurant ultime very great fragrance. Bleu de Chanel one of my favs. But there fragrances out there same if not better.

[@jm-gi8tk]

My favorite scents that I use casual: A&F first instinct Leather wear/dark clothing: Carolina Herrera CH men Prive Formal: Burberry london Sporty/extra casual: Gucci pour homme II

[@RobertMLewis-te8kr]

I have worn Chanel Egoiste Platinum for over 20 years. Since most folks don't even know about it...it can be hard to find...Many have said that they smell it and intantly think of me.

[@JustinWarembourg]

Thanks for producing this video! My favorite colognes have been D&G's The One and Dirty English by Juicy Couture for Men (The Latter I'd received compliments from women on). When I bought Dirty English, I also bought the deodorant so that my scent would be consistent. Is that something that a person should worry about when buying cologne, or am I overthinking it too much? Should a man wear lighter (citrus) or Heavier (woodsy) colognes depending on season? Should I make considerations based on activity (going to a picnic/casual vs. going to work at an office)? When I'm at home and not planning on going anywhere I wear Old Spice classic deodorant and cologne because it is affordable. Usually during the holidays, places like Sephora will sell sample kits of cologne so that you can try a bunch. Most times these will come with a voucher so that you can get a bottle of the cologne you liked the best. I like to test scents while I'm at the mall using the tester strips they have, but you can't test too many at once.

[@TheJr3008]

Thanks for the cologne tips Antonio. This will definitely come in handy as I work on presenting a powerful presence with my scent. I'd also like some tips on how to do the same with my breath? I mean let's face it; most of the time people's breath either smells bland or just plain bad. I want to be able to have my breath smell naturally fresh as much as I possibly can - thereby adding that finishing touch to my image that will help make me stand out from the crowd. When I come across people who's breath smells wonderfully fresh; I definitely remember them. I'd like to create a positive, signature scent with my breath to compliment the cologne tips you provided in this video. Gum and mints mainly just cover-up mouth odor; they don't create a great smelling breath that's memorable, but are there any mouth washes or natural methods that do? Can you provide some help in this area? If so, it would be much appreciated Antonio.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Good idea! That's for another video :)

[@matthewgarcia7318]

A personal favorite of mine is Vintage Black by Kenneth Cole. I always get compliments on it.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Nice!

[@tonyjax8454]

Creed Green Irish Tweed. the Dom Perignon of parfum. I guard this with my life and only pull it out for special occasions. been using it for years now, I go 2 on the neck, 1 on the chest and 1 on each fore arm and I'm set. never offends tons of compliments and it's a major head turner. Peace. 😉

[@MrMlbfan6]

Are they really worth the price ?

[@tonyjax8454]

to be honest...no. but they do use certain ingredients that designer frags don't, like creed will use real Tonka musk from a certain country they'll never use an immitatation that smells close that's what you pay for resulting in a much better more natural dry down and performance so I guess that's why I use them.

[@gtavtheavengergunnerlegend3340]

Tony me Green irish tweed is the best in the world

[@gtavtheavengergunnerlegend3340]

carlos ortiz yes it's worth every penny. You can buy samples online. 5 for 25.

[@tonyjax8454]

Kendale Wright best place is ebay or Amazon

[@Csebast_]

My Favorite Fragrance is the Calvin Klein Shock and the regular zippo cologne. In addition to the recommendations in applying it, I used to sell colognes and I learned a few tricks that help me pick awesome fragrances. First... What type of fragrance do you want? Yes there are more than one, there is sweet, pure and soft. You might be wondering what these are entitle to, or mean and so. When picking out the type of fragrance think of it as The three types of cologne: -Soft which is low key to the smell but long lasting. -Pure which we can define as strong scented and long lasting as well -And sweet which is gonna be something made out of natural elements like, rose extract, etc. (These are usually hard to find and really common for women) Now, when you get a good perfume look for it to say "Eau de Perfume" which is Perfume water and it means that it is a small portion of the real thing and therefore it will last longer. On the other hand "Eau de Toilette" is not as lasting.

[@isacook8728]

So one spray to the neck or chest is all that is required with the more stronger scents?

[@seanducey7467]

Isa Cook he is talking out his arse. you spray one to every area too at most if it's weak

[@byKevinSamuels]

3-5 one on wrist, neck, chest. Just made a video for my subbies on the entire subject.

[@seanducey7467]

No.

[@MrBrownstone1]

Isa Cook I have no idea what he is talking about. 1 spray means you might as well not bother. Like the other guys say, about 4 should be enough, around the neck and upper body.

[@H1NCH023]

Isa Cook Depends on the strength. I've had very strong fragrances that could not have more than 2 sprays otherwise it was too much! I'll use 3 sprays with normal strength :)

[@manuelmose3]

I have been using Obsession Dark for over a year and this scent gets plenty of compliments. I generally spray once on my palms and apply to my neck, forearms and then spread it out by rubbing it into my clothes. I will try the method you mentioned and see if this works better. Thanks for the tips.

[@codykanitz97]

Antonio what is your signature scent?

[@ravenedwards1231]

He said in another video Creed Aventus is his signature scent

[@thorstentrager7711]

Thanks for your advice, yet again! I wear Jean Paul Gaultier "Le Male", Hugo "Just different" and Hêrmes "Un jardin sur le toit", if I wear fragrances at all because most of the time I just forget to put something on.

[@Sfidt1]

Spraying front and sides of neck is a huge no-no especially if you are going for a date and such - ever kissed a girl who used fragrance on her neck? Not really the best experience.

[@TamTam-lg2fd]

Sfidt1 :-True stuffx manh

[@josephdigianni309]

Sfidt1

[@Gnumanfan101]

I use Floris No.89, Special No.127 (early spring/fall), and Cefiro (for summer).

[@adeyemovictor]

I use Jean Paul Gaultier :D

[@Mark_Ocain]

My two faves are (1) Givenchi Gentleman and (2) L'Occitane pour homme EDTs. If I want something pervasive but warm and long lasting it has to be the Givenchi. If I just want something crisp and lighter then I go for the L'Occitane. Both have great earthy fragrances that people instantly warm to and enjoy. I haven't come across a negative comment for either of these two.

[@19bootsy68]

Creed Aventus is the best smelling aftershave by far...sure it's expensive but it's well worth it. Let me tell you this. Creed is a reaction smell...when I past a women in a bar really close I get that reaction and it's always 100% positive. When Creed first hit the UK shores even guys were stopping me and asking me in shopping centres/malls what I was wearing.

[@Kadaf1]

19bootsy68 yes aventus is great, I get compliments from women but I think guys like the smell even more. Guys always ask what I’m wearing but women only every now and then

[@memolicja2108]

Do not call Aventus "aftershave" please...

[@Marcusandersson1337]

Depending on what i am doing I will wear different perfume but these 4 fulfill my every need and all have a big difference. Lacost - Essential (Always when i fly i go to the tax free and give myself a spray of this one for the sheer joy of the smell) Gucci - Guilty Intense ( Date night, woman love the smell) Van Gils - Basic Intinct (my everyday, it is not super expansiv but has a great smell that lasts) Viktor % Rolf - Flower bomb ( A unisex perfume that is a great one to have while going out to meet people for socialising. Always sparks a conversation with this smell)

[@matualia]

[@chuknduk]

Mancera Cedrat Boise EDP...awesome scent great longevity, projection and sillage. I get lots of compliments. A bit pricey but affordable on Beautyspin. I also find myself liking Tommy Bahama Island Life for Men. Doesn't have great longevity but smells fantastic. Great summertime fragrance.

Azzaro Chrome has gotten me MANY compliments

[@TinoMiller]

I am quiet happy you discuss the Toilet to Perfume section because some people really think they are all the same when one has a greater chamce of lasting than the other and one is not really watered down while the other by has a more oiled based.

[@fayezchoudhury7301]

Rubbing breaks the notes. This means it would smell different and perform worse.

[@dadamj]

It doesn't break the notes. It encourages the developing of the smell, which means you lose the initial top note. I do agree it shortens the life span, however impact does vary between fragrance and individual.

[@granatatua]

+Corky_Butcher Yea its pretty simple, rubbing causes friction and friction causes heat, therefore making the fragrance evaporate faster and that causes the shortened projection period.

[@drewbee5920]

Nonsense talk from people who want to sound like they know something. Study a little chemistry. Nothing changes the molecular structure from mild rubbing. You're not generating that much friction to heat up the fragrance.

[@granatatua]

+Drew Bee dont get mad over something like that kid. It might cause changes to the compound or something like that (i have heard), why would every perfume expert say it otherwise. I dont need to study anything to just have an opinion about something.

[@granatatua]

And I have witnessed the effect of rubbing my cologne in myself, it really does hinder the projection period of the fragrance rubbed

[@FinanceMan]

I am a novice for sure but polo black and Ed hardy love and luck are my favorites for me but I'm definitely willing to try more and different types. I had no idea that man had perfumes and it was a range scale. I thought they were gender specifications. I really appreciate the info

[@asally2150]

[@mcosme85]

I joined ScentBird, didn't like my first cologne choice so I bought another big bottle. I bought Cambridge Knights. it smells so good! Have you tried it? it smells fresh, clean, I get compliments all the time. A close second to my favorite is The One Savannah Nights. Have you tried they one either?

[@NikolaCovic]

The problem i have is the kind of problem that i think only i have.I carefully choose my fragrance and it takes me a lot of time and researching for me to select one. My main problem is that my friends always love my fragrances and as soon as i get a new one , one of my friends have to get the same fragrance as i do. It happened to me like 7-8 times , i am a male and i hate when 2 guys go out and smell the same , can't even imagine how girls feel about that. Now i have a really good fragrance , i can say the best one i had in my life and i haven't told anyone of it's name because someone will buy it if i do. My tip for you guys : Do not tell other guys what your fragrance is. (If they ask you what is the name of it , they are asking so they can buy it too). You can tell the name of your fragrance to the girls , because they love the guys that know what they are using.

[@BboyFeeney]

Nikola Covic if You have a Sephora in your local mall, go check it out. A month ago I bought a $65 sampler kit. It had 15 sample sprays (enough to use each one 3-5 times) and a certificate to buy a regular bottle of one of the 15 samples. Check it out

The samplers were a wide range. D&G, Pollo, Gucci, Prada, Givenchy, John Varvatos, etc

Your 100% right about finding the right fragrance to go with your body scent. It took me years to find a fragrance that goes with my body scent. When I meet my girl I was into Jean Paul Gualtier because I've smelled it and I love the smell but I didn't realize when the fragrance settled and the different notes kick in and it mixed with oils produced by my skin the fragrance changes. My girl told me it didn't mix right with body chemistry and I began my exploration to find the right fragrance. Today I find that Dolce and Gabbana The One works best with my body scent, the orange and tobacco notes work just right. The best thing about having a signature scent is that your possessions begin to pick up the fragrance and people know your smell like your voice. And sorry I don't know what it is called when you do that, but know it's bad lol.

La Nuit De L'Homme by YSL

[@jackwood7691]

rip oakmoss

[@Evil_Peter]

You can still find bottles from before the last reformulation if you spend some time researching.

[@jackwood7691]

Yeah but they'd be old, stored poorly and possibly fake

[@macvena]

Yes, I've received loads of compliments while wearing La Nuit De L'homme.

[@kwasiwilliams5014]

That's the best to attract women

[@InfernalJay]

I personally love Tom Ford Tabacco Vanille, Dior Homme Intense, and Creed Aventus. During October and November I love to use Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb. During the winter months, Terre d'hermes for something different

[@FragranceBros]

Great video, Antonio! All great points! :D

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Thanks Daver :) !!!!

[@trademarkuk7504]

The reason why i go for a very high end fragrance for instance 'bacarrat' 240 rouge' special edition -only available from exclusive stores costing around £3000 is simply because of having a unique feel amongst family & friends ....I also like the classic woody Alfred Dunhill Edition which has a gradual build up of scent through out the day....the spicy oud scents from Tom Ford range form a very musky masculine delivery......L'goiste by Chanel continues to capture the public attention whilst the Dior Homme intense is a very warming natural skin scent......the discontinued Gucci Envy leaves the females weak in the knees...... I dare to challenge anyone with my fragrance knowledge!

[@lolwechig]

Office: Chanel - Bleu (EdP) Date: YSL - La nuit de l'homme You guys wont regret it. Trust me.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Thanks for the tips :)

[@TinoMiller]

No.. YSL is for the office.. Blu De Chanel is for dates but it depends .. If You wear the perfume or the toilet.

[@ds9923]

Have both of them (and the Sport Chanel) and I can use them all for anything... the issue with YSL really is the weak reformulated version. You have to spray 15 times for it to have any effect and even then it doesn't last long.

[@TinoMiller]

John Smith that's what I'm saying.. And I have not don't see YSL perfumes just the toilet.

[@arpeeh21]

Nice vid! My fav scents are YSL L'Homme and Nautica Voyage for office/indoors and Dior Sauvage for outdoors. Dont rub fragrances as it will break down the notes it was intended for.

[@dachucktaylor1]

my fav scent is creed aventus

[@albertwesker744]

yuck

[@buellreaucracy]

best smelling cologne ever!!

[@TinoMiller]

Ewe!! Creed stuff smell like old people in the hospital

[@iep4029]

+Tino Miller lmaooooo!!! that is why I only use coconut oil and that's it!! keep it simple!

[@TinoMiller]

iep4029 if it's from Creed you can keep it. All their stuff smell horrible.. Give me Cartier.

[@ExcessInModeration]

Aqua Di Gio is my scent. It took me YEARS to find " My Scent ". I've worn it for 15 ish years now, and it is the only scent I will ever wear again. Its the smell I'm known for, as an example, I once was told by a friend of mine who I had gone to visit,that after I left a mutual friend of ours dropped by, and once inside, stopped, sniffed the air, and said "Mike has been here,huh?" Its not a scent for everybody, as you have to find a scent that matches your natural smell I believe (pheromone matching or whatever? I forget what its called...) but If I had a piece of lint for every time some random person stopped me and said "excuse me, but what are you wearing?" or just plainly " you smell amazing!" then I would have a WHOLE BALL OF LINT! I wish scentbird had been around when I was on my journey of scent discovery, it wouldn't have taken me so long to find mine. So a new fragrance every month is a FANTASTIC idea, that's just long enough to figure out if that's the right scent for you. Just know when you get at least TWO random people asking what cologne you are wearing IN ONE DAY, then you've probably found "your scent" especially if those two are of the opposite sex. Even if you're still on the fence about it, I like how scentbird shows you most of the scent ingredients so you can at least narrow down what type of scents are working for you, as you can see if you are a more musky, spicey type person, or a lighter flowery or fruity type, etc. I must admit I'd never sub to scentbird, as I've found my smell, however, in theory it sounds amazing and will be recommending it to all my friends who are on their own personal journies of scent discovery, and will be giving a few sub's away as gifts to a few family members. First time viewer of your channel, and I'm about to sub and binge watch all your other videos now :) keep up the good work!

[@greyastraunaut]

I like Polo Blue. any comments?

[@TheGrizzlyBeard1]

tyang85 I like polo blue. It's the least "old man smell" of the polos

[@BboyFeeney]

tyang85 I wore that all through 20-22 years haha. Now at 26 my taste has changed and it's too sweet for me. But the younger ladies love it

[@ethanghrist3412]

I like polo red

[@santosgonzalez4456]

Do spray bottels suck

[@b_san4867]

Try other scents.

[@moustachio334]

My top scents right now and in no particular order 1. L’eau Issey Miyake 2. Nuit Issey Miyake 3. YSL L’Homme 4. YSL La Nuit L’Homme 5. Burberry Touch 6. Givenchy Pour Homme 7. YSL Y 8. ADG Profumo 9. YSL Opium pour homme 10. Givenchy Pi 11. Paco Rabbane Intense Invictus

[@KeeperOfProphecies]

You can never, ever go wrong with Tom Ford.

[@hisname_is_]

I Love The "Whitewater Rush" Fragrance From Bath & Bodyworks I Have The Body Wash, Cologne, &The Lotion I Use The Body Wash When I Shower, Put On The Cologne Right Afterwards, &I Usually Carry Around The Lotion &Apply It Once The Smell Of The Cologne Wears Off &It Smells Amazing People In My Class Start Smelling Around Trying To Find Out Where It's Coming From

[@erosi5974]

Acqua Di Giõ by Giorgio Armani. :-)

[@albertomoreno9795]

Been having a bottle of it for almost 8yrs

[@GUNIT2197]

My go-to fragrances are Versace's Ethos, Yves Saint-Laurent's L'Homme Parfait, and Pacco Rabane's 1 Million

[@Blackheart_Rises]

Pentachromatic ethos lol 😂

[@edisone1]

Pinaud's "Bay Rum" makes me smell like cookies - it's also so cheap that I can use it as aftershave, back of my neck, on my arms, even as a hair tonic. It isn't overpowering, even when splashed all over. People get hungry when I approach, I swear - and I bet they don't realize why. Orange extract with cinnamon sticks would probably be similar, but I haven't tried that (yet) ....

[@tanbir11]

i own a few but the ones i like the most are givenchy play for leisure scene, versace pour homme at work, rochas man for dates, lacoste essential for physical activity or public events, and D&G the one for family dinners or lunches

[@topsurvivalq4576]

Bleu de Chanel is the best

[@davalianscents9284]

My favorite is Tommy Bahama Very Cool. The edt version was discontinued. Haven't had a warm weather fragrance get me compliments like that one since.

[@Gomepez]

Nautica Voyage

[@xflu1293]

My go-to for summer, great fragrance!

[@stallio5612]

sir you are an example of a gentleman. A really good video on men grooming. You explained mens grooming the way it should have been. I always thought these things were showoff but lately i was doing some research and I found you. Keep up the good work and good luck to you

[@svetoslav199]

I use Paco Rabanne Invictus and Versace Eros

[@willa7632]

Love Versace Eros but there is no way I can wear it everyday. One spray is more than enough for that one.

[@victorbazzone]

I only wear eros for special occasions

[@memolicja2108]

Mat, you should take under consideration fact that ladies love it.. and anticipating your answear: no, not only teen girls but most of women like it, also it performs well and is pretty versitale

[@erikek9222]

My favourites are Davidoff au de toilettes. Especially the Champion-series the bottle is shaped like a dumbbell so I feel super powerful whenever i apply it. Really a confidence booster.

[@LenfordLindsayVendettaFilms]

Invictus aqua

[@handcraftedspecimen8695]

VENDETTA FILMS shut uo

[@ardentdfender4116]

Back in the day my girl gave me one called Fahrenheit. She used to go crazy overtime i wore it, so often i did. Later on used to use one called Joop, when i used to go out allot and got more clicks asking about it than anything else and loved the scent as well but don't over do it. Hard to find though. I use a Fragrance Mist called Forever Midnight i got a long time female friend that really love and love the scent, think it came from Bath & Body Works. As for my current signature scent i use "The One" by Dolce & Gabbana which i tried out many at a Mall Store and this was the one left standing that i really love the scent. And always get compliment from it with the ladies.

[@Paul-010]

Anything other than a parfum is a complete waste of money, And the problem being, there is not a lot of parfum's on the market for men.

[@danieldaniel1210]

Paul B LOL you are funny.Did you ever heard of niche fragrances?

[@Japy456]

topkek EDP and EDT are fine.

[@celtpro]

One fragrance I would use more than any other is Joop, it is long lasting and even the next day you do not need to use it, as the fragrance lasts a few days unless you perspire a lot. One person could use a Cologne and it works for them, give it to some one else and it does not smell nice. I could not agree more with applying too much, as a migraine suffer some fragrances can give you an awful headache, so choosing wisely and not applying too much is the best option, as you stated it can be re-applied later if needed.

[@OldLadyGriffin]

You have small hands

[@sovereignviper]

Thanks Kyle. I do too

[@pipersmitty87]

Kyle Eckenrode he is a real man with a wife and kids. You are probably a loser

[@Davidwv97]

Ruckus Piper why you have to be mad

[@RandyFricke]

I still get a lot of play from the classics believe it or not. Old Spice, English Leather, Brut. I really don't have a favorite, or what I would call a signature scent. I get compliments with my KISS, Georgio, Lagerfeld, and I even recently tried Old Spice Wolfthorn. I've gotten compliments that it smells like cotton candy. And what woman doesn't love the smell of cotton candy? I also use Jovan Musk, Sex Appeal, and I even have good results with Bay Rum and various incense oils. I like to leave the women I encounter wonder "what's he going to be wearing next time." Keep 'em guessing. I don't like being predictable.

[@busterhymen6000]

why would you want your son to smell you?

[@kwasiwilliams5014]

Because you inspire him to try out colognes; because he will emulate you. You don't want to set the example of being a smelly bum.

[@sovereignviper]

I remember my Dad always smelled like his colognes growing up... He literally not one time ever smelled bad. I loved giving my Dad hugs and simply being around him, many people remember these things about their fathers and etc. My father gave me a jacket years ago and despite me wearing it and smoking in it many times it still smells like him and the colognes he used to wear.

[@jirensentry7609]

I like Hoop. It's a soft, yet powerful fragrance. A sweet aroma, it attaches to my skin type which is oily, sweet. However, it is Burberry Brit that wins the banner. I used a body wash and left it at that and it moved women well.

[@julzmax956]

Versace Eros is my go to right now. Only when the temperature gets over 95 I switch to Versace EAU FRAICHE or Versace Pour Homme. Before Eros I was using Mont Blanc Legend.

[@devram200]

Great video; just subscribed. I was wondering what colognes you would recommend to try for people with allergies. Whenever I put on most colognes, I get all congested, so I've just stopped trying. Any suggestions?

[@vfranklindeese2]

I like Grey Flannel by Geoffrey Beene and Lagerfeld. I like something sweet most of the time, even floral. I also like something that smells clean. In the summer, I sometimes use Florida water.

[@brandonsullivan9544]

I'm so glad you mentioned point 2. Being comfortable in your own skin is critical.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Agreed!

[@donbrossart9962]

Channel Blue is an excellent choice as well as Acqua Di Gio.. Depending on your mood and occasion! Thank you Antonio for the information that most men want to know however do not know where to go to ask! Well Done!

[@atlantacabil]

summer/spring i use Creed Aventus and Creed Original Vetiver. My all around fragrance is Tom Ford Tuscan Leather but i recently tried a sample of TF Oud Wood and that might replace Tuscan Leather. My Fall/Winter fragrances are TF Tobacco Vanille and Creed Green Irish Tweed.

[@gtavtheavengergunnerlegend3340]

Stephen Cabil then you smell like a brute old geezer. Green irish tweed is the only fresh scent that's not meant for 80 yr old men

[@raytang76]

My go to signature scent is Kenzo Jungle Homme,and my work scent is Gucci Homme II! I really enjoy smelling great! Better if someone compliment cause makes me feel good!

[@eddievasquez2883]

Antonio, which fragrance do you use?I myself use Giorgio Armani or Issey Miyake.I personally love the way they smell.
