10 Fragrances To Make You Smell Like A "REAL MAN" - Masculine Colognes

[@petarj.9620]

Dior Elixir,D&G Intenso and Chanel Egoiste Platinum are excellent choices 👍🏻

[@terribleterrier1685]

I agree on the DG Intenso. Wonderful scent when you want to feel mature and sophisticated.

[@SirSillageSniffington]

A few underrated gems are Acqua Di Parma Colonia Essenza (for the day) and Intensa (for the evening). Both stunning and can be found for great prices online. 🙌🏻

[@amirulaiman2296]

excuse me, underrated?

[@josefish5193]

@@amirulaiman2296 LOL

[@SirSillageSniffington]

@@amirulaiman2296 You don’t think they are? I don’t feel they get anywhere near the air time and talk on KZbin that they should. Apart from The Fragrance Apprentice a couple of years back, I can’t remember the last time I saw either mentioned or hyped by anyone on here... 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MoMoneyNoProbz]

Gentlemen only is unbelievably underrated. It’s so nice clean masculine and to me upscale. Perfect professional scent or formal scent for daytime. It forms like a second skin, projects just enough even tho I wish it did a tiny bit more and last like 6 hours

[@abboed.4076]

Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, one of my first fragrances (late 80s and early 90s). 😌

[@moneyjonze9168]

My old school favorite masculine fragrance which I get a lot of compliments with is Davidoff Zino

[@akoilngas1215]

Nice barber shop scent. If you smell Tom Ford Beau de Jour, you can see where the inspiration for BDJ came from.

[@Getstr8cash]

@@akoilngas1215 tf is a barber shop scent barber shops have colognes?

[@akoilngas1215]

@@Getstr8cash It's a class of colognes that is reminiscent of an old timey barbershop. Things like citrus, floral, wood, musk, maybe some spice. A lot of it comes from the talcum powder, barbicide, and Pinaud-Clubman powder that many old school barbershops use and used. I think there is a lot of overlap between "barbershop" and fougere fragrances.

[@AbcDino843]

And they go for $20 a bottle nowadays.

[@etaoinn]

I know maybe it is not everyone's cup of tea, but Dior Fahrenheit is as masculine as it comes, as well as Versace's Dreamer.

[@igorkukovec8719]

Kouros smells like a stable... But it's niceee. Love it.

[@jasondole360]

6:47 - Yes! You HAVE to work TDH into a gentlemanly list! I actually dove into the video saying "TDH *has* to be on this list." I love the Parfum, my second-most-used scent of 2022. Every time I wear it I think "Ah - Genleman Orange!" The EDT is great too.

[@Christian-rf7px]

D&G Intenso is really great fougere scent.

[@eGameFun]

happy to hear about platinum egoiste!! just tested it a couple days ago and it‘s going to be one of my if not THE next buy for myself edit: 5:24 you just created a trending sound on tiktok if you didn’t know

[@jingledubz3989]

Great list and video Ash! Totally agree with these choices here. Some others I would like to add are Lalique PH, Azzaro PH Intense, Zino by Davidoff, and Jaipur PH. 🤘

[@darthdeluxe_1]

Egoiste Platinum.....😍😍😍😍😍😍😍. One of the best of the best.

[@OlfactiveOverdose]

I love intenso one of the holy grail office frags for me also I really like the og egoiste

[@seanevans9329]

Lalique pour homme.. manly , fougure.... Underrated!!!

[@nouamanemastafa2711]

For me : Oud fleur tom ford Oud wood intense Noir anthracite Tobacco oud Gucci absolute Egioste Bois mysterieux

[@Q_N-]

I tried Kourous, I seriously couldn’t pull it off. After spraying a sample of this, my wife straight up told me I smell like “A walking mens restroom”. And not the clean kind… The kind that you smell at state crossing unkempt rest areas 😑

[@seannotaro473]

Sounds great

[@Q_N-]

Ayeee to each his own. If you can pull it off, more power to ya 👍🤜🔥

[@flawlessjewels]

Your wife is spot on, that is exactly what Kouros smells like.

[@Q_N-]

@@flawlessjewels Ya, I heard mixed reviews about it so I had to sample before I decided to nab a full bottle. Thankfully I decided against a full size. 😰

[@Pumpking-zn8lu]

Smelled it in an airport earlier this year. It straight up smells awful. Could not possibly imagine when/where I (or anyone else) would wear it. Are there people out there that genuinely enjoy the smell of Kouros?

[@BigGuadelope]

I am doing well, Ash. Thank you for asking.

[@ERa53R]

Maybe it's a time for "Best Barbershop Fragrances" type a video..

[@Handstyles]

More love for D&G Intenso! It is just so classy. Same for Icon. Both 2 of my favorites. I would add the normal Luna Rossa to that style. For something different "Gisada Uomo" is pretty great but not as easy to wear for me.

[@rammul7801]

It’s amazing how the same man who made Kaurus actually made Silver mountain water.

[@spacebar5670]

My pops rocked kouros as a signature scent, so it honestly doesn’t come off as eccentric to me at all, that being said I never cared for it personally lol

[@IMODN2]

chanel egosite was given to me by my mate over 15 years ago. i tend to like sweet oriental smells, so for me this was tricky at the start to wear. however, overtime this chanel was perfect for a hot summer days or what Ash said , perfect for the office or business man.

[@Alritealritealrite]

Does it still smell OK after all these years later?

[@IMODN2]

@@Alritealritealrite smells exactly the same.

[@_Only_Zuul]

i'm looking for that clean fizzy champagne and gold style scent.. any recommendations?

[@leonidas6134]

Why not Blackbird’s Pipebomb? Received a sample once, I remember smelling cedar, water & cardamom.. maybe worth a review as a masculine/gentleman’s cologne.

[@SmellsAddicted]

Hey Ash You should do this for niche fragrances next. For example, if you want to smell like Sean Connery (before he died), get Green Irish Tweed

[@jamesabel8832]

“Before he died”. What does he smell like now?

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great list with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed night

[@adamtrons]

I just got PR XS this week and love it. One of the most clean and fresh scents in my collection. The projection and longevity is great. Lasted all day and night on me. Smells similar to The One Grey by Dolce & Gabbana. 👃🏻🌹

[@ven4725]

Which one?

[@alfombraspersasyorientaleslior]

Please make more videos about masculine dupes. It seems like everything is unusex nowadays abd I am really tired if thst.Thank you in advance.

[@Fragfinding]

If you want to talk about real man, try Amouage Bracken man, that’s the definition of real man. Strong on the opening, clean and fresh in the middle, mellow and a small touch of sweetness in the base.

[@bradley163]

I'm on my 3rd bottle of Gentlemen Only EDT, YET I'm in my mid-30s and the jury is still out on whether or not I'm a REAL MAN. Oh, and a huge honorable mention to the always reliable Guerlain Vetiver. I went with the Gentlemen Only EDT only because I've run through 3 bottles already.

[@MoahGentle]

If you wanna switch it up jomashop had all kinda other fresh frags from Givenchy, PH or Blue Label for instance, for like 35 bucks for a tester..

[@patrikwester7513]

U forgett Karl lagerfeld classic! Old school manly 😎😎

[@tuathade1586]

Great list! IMO I would throw in another vetiver fragrance, Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum and maybe an easy leather based fragrance like Philipp Plein No Limit$

[@gd1222]

Bentley for Men Absolute is still a great steal here in Europe. Often 25 bucks for the 100ml. Only real men can pull that one off.

Dumb question…is there a Givenchy fragrance in the “Gentleman” line thats close to either D&G Light Blue or Versace Eau Fraiche? (Yes 2 of your favs 😜)

[@ayoubahrbil9063]

Maan !!! That Givenchy gentleman only is tooo much underrated has some sauvage azzaro pour homme vibes but classy and modern also a little bit of middle eastern vibe btw (im from middle east) i prefer it over gentleman line wich i find it too much sweet !!

How did you get your dior homme parfum ?

Pure luck. Discounters get them in once in a while but they sell out quickly. I’m sure ebay sellers have it too.

Ash....how could you? How could you not include the most straight up manly fragrance of all time...ARAMIS! The King. Also on my list, Creed Green Irish Tweed and Aventus, Terre D'Hermes, and VINTAGE Drakkar Noir. (Should we throw some Vintage Shulton Old Spice in there as well?...doing manly things in a manly way that only manly men do!)

What is a man ?!

[@LibertyNotLicense]

One who knows what a man is and that he is one, and what a woman is and knows that he is not one. Also, does not live in parents' home, pays his own bills, is kind, meek (strong and self-controlled) is passionate about his own interests but also always looks to help others. (For those who genuinely [tragically] don't know.) 😊👍

👍👍👍👍👍

[@MoahGentle]

The fact that you can buy Gentlemen Only (100ml/3.3oz) for 48 bucks (I got mine from yomashop who also has the 15ml travel bottle) is kinda insane. Such a great deal for a high quality freshie.
