A great video! Thank you. Okay, so a simple hack for anyone with more than 2 fragrances. As background, I have around 150-200 now, collected over many years and most go months without use however, all get smelled. 1) Put on the clothes for the day or look at a photo of yourself previously looking/styled the way you will on the day. 2) Take out a few or as many bottles of fragrances that you want to test. 3) Smell the top of the bottle/atomiser and inside the bottle top simultaneously whilst looking at yourself in the mirror and imagining yourself in the location you will be. 4) spray on what YOU think works best with that and go out confident that you know you have made your signature style. This will change the game. These general rule videos are amazingly helpful and guide you not to make serious mistakes. Nobody wants to smell Eros at a funeral right? However, if you know how you want to present yourself, this method will make it easy. For example: Today, I am wearing Sauvage at the gym. Also, I am off to Mykonos for a family holiday shortly. I have chosen Creed Vetiver for the day and Guerlain L'Homme Ideal for the night based on how I am likely to dress and the place I am going at the time of year. Now who's going to be able to recommend those fragrances for me, my age, style, location and occasion. Only me. Do what suits YOU and make this your art. Scent creation is a science however this part is all you.

I fell in love with D&G Pour Homme at 20 years old and I found my second signature scent D&G The One (edt) in my early 30's. I enjoy their seasonal versatility. I will often rotate between them in cold, cool, wam, and hot weather situations.

I dont know about you but I get asked pretty often why I like or wear a certain item, especially if it is something that is not in the "basics" set of clothing for example dark cargo pants. Most of the time I am able ro give an answer but I began to ask myself if you even need to defend your style, or if it should just be accepted without any explanation. What do you think guys? Would love to hear some opinions :)

A few years back I discovered essential oils and started incorporating them into my scent arsenal. I get nice compliments on Nag Champa, vanilla bean, and cotton candy. My favorite commercial sent currently is Old Spice Wolfthorne. It's very cotton candy smelling. Good stuff. I also still love the classics. Old Spice, Brut, Drakkar etc... because many of the women of today aren't all that familiar with the classics. Younger women in particular. If they are smelling it for the first it's new to them. And that's really all that matters anyway right...

Be careful with those so called crowd pleasers. Some of them are VERY strong, and some people may make negative associations! A good example is "Le Male" by Jean-Paul Gaultier.

I'm not saying that it's a bad fragrance, but use it with caution.

Most of the fragrances out there, you can't find samples for free in a store.
