Top 10 Best / Favorite Designer Fragrances / Colognes for Men

[@01philos]

Steven, I have seven of these: LL Au Masculin, Bleu, The One, Infusion d´Homme, Pure Malt, Sur Le Nil, and Spicebomb. I have Dior Homme and DH Sport, and I own Allure Homme and Allure Homme Sport from the Allure line. I love all of these. I have to say that Bleu, Spicebomb, and Pure Malt have garnered very strong compliments, as has Dior Homme. I live in Texas, and Bleu and Infusion d´Homme are especially versatile, good during a mild Texas winter or on a very hot summer day. Sur Le Nil is also VERY delicious in the summertime! Thank you, I enjoyed it as always.

[@TheDropForged]

Glad I found your channel and absolutely agree with no 1. I smelt it the day it came out and was blown away with it. Absolutely amazing.

[@RaviSingh-xl3os]

TheDropForged cherish that bottle dude the new reformulated version sucks in longevity, its not the same so disappointed but also glad they made intense version & also fresh version, s bomb fresh is good for summer👍👍

[@blizzlenizzle]

I own almost all of these! I'm so pumped. I need to pick up jardin sur de nil and infusion d'homme.

[@Bshel419]

I actually just smelled Prada infusion today...and I love it. Defiantly picking up a bottle; glad to see you love it too.

[@chromoperson01]

Great video man. You are very well-spoken and have excellent taste! Thanks for uploading!

[@Redolessence]

bob miller Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate your support!

[@NicksReviews]

Nice list! I'd add to mine YSL L'Homme and Nuit, Issey Sport, Platinum Egoiste, and Luna Rossa Extreme...maybe even some Fahrenheit as honorable mention.

[@Redolessence]

Nick Barnett Wow... all rock star fragrances you just mentioned. A top 20 would've certainly included La Nuit and L'Homme. Can't go wrong with Fahrenheit either. Thank you for watching!

[@tally1604]

great list, Steven!

[@mrbranch]

Just pulled the trigger and bought DHI and Spicebomb upon watching this review. I 'blindbuy' 90% of the time. There's some elements of excitement and surprise to it!

[@SONICE69]

Wow! Great list → So much out there to still try......, now I'm nowhere near your experience or Skill level Steven, but having bought frags some 30+ yrs → I can't just single out 1 → so I'll pick my Top 5 that Revolutionized the game IMO: Farhenheit, Le Male, A*men, Di Homme & YSL La Nuit De L'Homme.........

[@RyzFragz34]

Great list Steven!!

[@31Danielsb]

Great video, I totally agree with you on the number one... I LOVE SPICEBOMB!!

[@Redolessence]

31Danielsb I'm glad someone sees eye to eye with me! Thank you for watching!

[@nealfrancis5083]

Have tried spice bomb extreme? Is it better than original version ? Great video great channel

[@Unbendable74]

I'm rather shocked YSL La Nuit De L'Homme isn't on there since you gave it a stellar review.

[@Redolessence]

Shane Morgan It was truly very hard to make this list. If it were a top 20, La Nuit would've certainly been on the list. Thank you for watching!

[@XanoviaScents]

Awesome list as always man...

[@kajukuja]

Awesome list!!

[@ahmedtanvir2796]

Great Picks for all Time.Like Your List.

[@Ron_Snowden]

Bleu de chanel gets all of the compliments...hands down.

[@hyundaiverna]

Great picks as usual! Please we need a full review from yourself about Glenn Perri (the infamous Aventus smell-alike)

[@Atilla730]

Great videos! I watch all of them and you have a very nice personality (: I still can not deside between Spicebomb and DHI... :/

[@twinturbo1575]

Great Video!! Thanks!!

[@dhruvmini01]

Thanks for being such a great reviewer and KZbinr! You've really impacted my knowledge and experiences with colognes! Keep the fantastic work up!

[@bongkoymil6199]

one of best reviews on fragrance I watch on KZbin always .

[@Redolessence]

Thank you for watching!

[@le0zthashxt]

Great list! I wrote down 6 to pick up :)

[@Redolessence]

Thank you! I would love to know what you think of them when you get a chance to try them!

[@HenryPerez_royal_hp]

Wow, how intriguing. I would have never in a million years guessed your #1. I love it too, I actually think it smells similar to Pure Havane. Having a hard time deciding what to get next. I am currently wearing Ultra Zest, and I'm loving every orangey creamsicle whiff I get here and there :) -HP

[@RaviSingh-xl3os]

Lazzplayz Perez s bomb has been reformulated & it lacks longevity now but if yu do like it try the intense version, lasts longer than original s bomb

[@sofianeguedjali4894]

great video man , one of the best top 10 designer i'v ever seen , i'm surprised that la nuit de l'homme didn't make the list because i tought you love it

[@omaroliveravenegas3106]

i simply cant understand it too la nuit de l homme is sick

[@AGentlemansJourney77]

Very nice list, Mr. Steven. That Jardin Sur Le Nil is very nice.

[@Redolessence]

The Everyday Man Thank you for watching, my friend! You will have my submission soon! ;)

[@Dreez76]

Bleu de Chanel, D&G The One, DHI and finally TM Pure Malt - awesome list, versatile. I keep preaching about Pure Malt, and i will keep preaching about it. Like you said, if i had to start all over again, Pure Malt would be on my first-to-buy list. I recently smelled Versace Pour Homme and it was horrendus, was too sweat, smelled like a cleaner, it actually made me feel ill eventho i only sprayed once on the top of my left hand. Currently i'm bouncing between DHP, Ultra Zest and MB Individual. I'm really starting to love DHP.

[@natky2]

Awesome list! Enjoy the vid. Thank you

[@georgeu1397]

Funny, i have the same prob with Pure Havane and Malt. I cant decide which one i love more....so amazing!!!

[@timothykaluba4195]

Love the list, my inventory is kind of similar with a few exceptions... Spice Bomb is an epic fragrance but I kind of had my reservations with its performance (longevity to be specific). I try it along side Dior Homme, La Nuit De L'homme and Boss Bottled, it was no match for the latter but I loved it... I wish they could make an Intense or Parfum flanker.

[@RaviSingh-xl3os]

Timothy Kaluba they did buddy s bomb intense, way better than original but its only good for fall & winter dnt use in warm weather it gets too sweet

[@dachucktaylor1]

great list!

[@ahmedalmawla9414]

Thank you very much I'll learn a lot from your videos and may God bless your heart

[@VikingShaver]

The beard is GROWING on you ;-) Nice list, Sir !

[@j.t.4682]

Awesome review as usual man. Glenn Perri's UA is, without question, remarkably similar to Aventus. I like to spray one on each hand and have other people smell them. They look at me like I am crazy because they think they are the same thing ha. Thank you for the review. Keep them coming. God bless.

[@Redolessence]

JT Uher Thank you for watching! Glenn Perri's UA is a blessing. So convincing with its similarity to Aventus.

[@SOSFragranceReviews]

Au Masculine has been in my collection for a long time. Great Fragrance!

[@ricohfaiajur]

always love the way you describe.

[@Arbentino1]

Great video :)

[@hutathierry6245]

nice list i have DG the one edp and TM pure malt very nice

[@cashmoney9256]

nice video steven! Ive watched more of your reviews than I can count and I appreciated this one most. a great list...plenty of variety and all within a reasonable price range for those of us just getting into fragrance. cool to see ur love for d&g the one...my favorite so far. gonna try spice bomb soon.

[@Redolessence]

+Cash Money Jambro Thank you very much!

[@tinoman1980]

Great vid like always thanks bro

[@Redolessence]

tinoman1980 Thank you so much for watching!

[@georgekapetanios2841]

Hey Steven love your list, watched loads of your videos so much info. Could you please tell me I could order reputable sample sprays from, and if there are any good ones in London Many thanks George from London Also Greek

[@SpeakingCommonSense]

I like you videos. Wanted your thoughts. Azzaro Chrome used to be my go-to scent years ago. I got many many compliments on it, it just worked well with my body chemistry I guess. 1. How played-out is Chrome? 2. Is there a more luxurious, expensive smelling scent that is similar to it? 3. Are these the best scents? Or are they the best scents on you? Do you find that some scents are very popular but just don't work with you? Thanks in advance.

[@RaviSingh-xl3os]

Greg Smith check out polo blue edp better than azzaro & not played out lol classic but definitely not played out

[@andykone1696]

great video men i have creed aventus dior homme intense dg the one versace homme and all this fragrance are just impressive

[@dbzpivotstickfigure]

Hey im considering getting creed aventis,green irish tweed, or dolce gabbana the one, which one of these would you reccomend? And do you think creed aventus is worth it for the price?

[@jeffdaman6969]

Get the one and buy splits of the creeds.

[@jeffdaman6969]

Get the one and buy splits of the creeds.

[@RaviSingh-xl3os]

D&G the one is awesome but only in cold weather not for warm & hot days, try aqua di gio profumo its very good lasts all day & a great year round fragrance. Like Jeffrey said get splits or samples of creed before buying those are expensive & you might be disappointed, if i had to pick 1 out of the 3 you mentioned I'd go with green Irish tweed but thats my opinion

[@joshdiaz2619]

I love D&G The One, but have the same gripe about longevity. Have you tried the EDP version?

[@robertmartel1725]

Spicebomb is amazing !!! good choice

[@monsterj5302]

I just added spicebomb to my collection this one smells amazing top 3 in my book

[@Redolessence]

+Monster j Great choice!

[@MoahGentle]

What are the other two?

[@goodenstuff]

Great list, would really like to sniff Chanel Edition Blanche. Spicebomb smells great but unfortunately it's more of a spice firecracker with me. One hour of projection and 4 hours longevity at most. Have to layer it with Tobacco Vanille oil to get it to perform.

[@Redolessence]

goodenstuff Ahhh... sorry to hear about the performance issues. You must try Edition Blanche. You can't go wrong with it. It's a great scent.

[@surfcaster]

I agree with the comment about spicebomb. I wish it has better performance. You must have a very oily skin!

[@Billy-kt8jh]

Nice list and beard is mighty.

[@mothirajendran1491]

Hi, Your uploads are really great. Love all your videos and the honest reviews. I have a quick question. For Bleu De Chanel do you refer to the EDT / EDP?

[@FragBoyStewie]

Nice list Steven! These are indeed one of the best smelling Designer scents in the market today!

[@apolinariocanales]

Very nice list mister!!! Many of that fragrances are in my collection too...jardin sur le nile it's an awesome fragrance just( it feels like walking on a place surrounded by herbs and fruits or vegetables...simply a piece of art) just as Bleu de Chanel, spice bomb from V&R and D&G the one...i appreciate your job very much cause it's honest and well prepared...a joy to watch your reviews...congrats!!! P.S: what do you think about terre d'hermes? It's a great fragrance too that could easily be on your top ten too IMHO

[@Redolessence]

Leo Caro Thank you for all of the kind words. Terre d'Hermes is a remarkable fragrance. Beautiful citrus with a unique earthy backbone. I need to get myself a bottle of that soon!

[@tonydavinusa5366]

THANK YOU !

[@Redolessence]

Thank you for watching, Tony!

[@EWWWYOURFAC3]

Steven I bought spice bomb 3.4 it was like $100 I hope I get a lot of compliments !

[@eastlake93]

Hey Steve really enjoy your reviews. I recently started collecting. I have Coach Leatherware No 3. I would love your thoughts on it. thanks. Also you never Chanel Egoiste Platinum.

[@fisherdigital]

Please start putting a list of the colognes that are in your videos in the description.

[@vtg14]

What are your thoughts on CH men prive?

[@vtg14]

+Moncho Linares oh ok, thanks

[@dreiko2k12]

If you choose only one. Which is the better bleu de chanel or chanel allure edition blanche? I need to pick one of these. Thanks

[@davidkrausse40]

a great video again! great list, i totally agree with your no. 1. Fortunately it's not that famous in germany ;) have a great Day! greetings

[@SquallMonteZ]

Steven, are you planning to make an updated top 10 favorite designer fragrances? I'm really curious if you changed your thoughts on some of these. :)

[@dejanacoski91]

Anyone know a reputable website or place where i can find Dior Homme Intense in the US?

[@RaviSingh-xl3os]

Notino.com is the only one i know & trust, great prices too

[@Xozzen]

spicebomb is fantastic, I want to get it soon for myself aswell

[@omnibulb]

not to sound like a hipster...uhuh..LOL! Great list steven!

[@altonhunter6247]

Hi I blind bought Lolita lempicka because of watching this video and it smells so good I got 6 compliments on this fragrance but let me ask you does it smell better when it's hot because it lasted all day and

[@TheJakili]

i also did a blind buy and ended loving it.. i have yet to try it in warm weather out of fear it would be slightly upsetting to others

[@altonhunter6247]

+TheJakili no when it warmed up it smelt so good it was a warm sweet scent it was amazing

[@threeupfront]

Dior Homme Intense and Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche are also on my list. I didn't like Spicebomb when I smelled it in Macy's.

[@Redolessence]

threeupfront I have a lot of respect for that! Thank you for watching!

[@Lukytazcuervo]

Nothing compared to 1 Million would be my #1 hahah, but it's only my opinion. DH1 ;) Great Video !

[@Redolessence]

I personally think 1 Million is great. And so is the Intense version. Thank you for watching!

[@TheKevinnl]

jup, I have and I smelled alot fragrances but still enjoy te most when I smell 1 million

[@vincentstern1034]

No, it smells like toilet spray :D

[@MoahGentle]

Nothing from this list is on my top 10 list, however, I just got Spicebomb. Needs more wearing, I may end up liking it a lot. Chanel Allure Homme Sport is long time favourite though.

[@Redolessence]

Thanks for sharing!

[@slobodan_81]

nice choice

[@9ydz]

heeey. Get out of my closet!! lmao .I have all but two of these. Good list man.

[@xcross20]

i own spicebomb i liked it its very good , but its not my fav , but thats the only scent my wife told me "this one only wear it when im with you" she loves it

[@Redolessence]

Gotta love Spicebomb!

[@ramansingh2111]

I would relly like to see tom ford noir or extreme in ur line , try it for sure

[@razscott]

Superb list my man, i have to say that a few of those would be in my top 10 too, that is a well deserved no1, love the stuff, i have almost finished my second 5oz bottle in no time lol. Btw Steven, if you have tried it what do you think of HDP 1899 hemmingway? A lot of people say its similar to the S bomb, stronger and more complex maybe, i have a sample on the way and will get a full bottle if it impresses, cheers :-)

[@Redolessence]

I love 1899! I find it to be a waxier version of Spicebomb with more similarities than differences. I would definitely recommend it for fans of Spicebomb. Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! I hope all is well!

[@razscott]

Thanks Steven, appreciate the feedback, cant wait to try it. I almost bought bvlgari man in black recently after trying it out, excellent frag but find it quite close to spicebomb and weirdly enough Lanvin Arpege pour homme which i already have so figured i dont need that too, maybe if it hits discount websites in a few months ill go for it

[@Redolessence]

razscott I agree with your comparisons. If it would be redundant, I can understand why you didn't buy a full bottle. Thank you again for watching!

[@surfcaster]

In your opinion, is your number 10 better than insurrection pure/II? In regards to being an aventus clone?

[@Redolessence]

Marvin Alovera Honestly, I would say yes because I find the Glenn Perri to be richer and deeper. Thank you for watching!

[@Drake_Dimes]

Whats the best Patchouli fragrance?

[@realbeetlejuice]

I got Spicebomb as a gift... gave it to my dad. dunno why it gets so much love. :(

[@fernandomilan8754]

A garden on denial is a great scent

[@YouriIsEenBanaan]

Your beard is fabulous

[@Redolessence]

haha. thank you!

[@altonhunter6247]

He's very well spoken as well

[@christophe_gallant]

Nice Warhol shirt

[@sugarman454]

Thank you for standing up for Spicebomb!

[@Redolessence]

Of course!

[@aliouetwajdi8483]

I love your way of representation man *-* 😃

[@Redolessence]

Thank you very much!

[@aliouetwajdi8483]

Oww you welcome

[@wagsbass]

Surprised to see Infusion D'homme, didn't think you with a collection as big as yours would like a frag that smells like soap. Infusion is one my favorite smells along with Mugler Cologne.

[@justme3894]

don't know if it's just me, as my name says, I agree with your list, except for Spice Bomb. To me that's a cinnamon BOMB....I smell cinnamon from start to finish for hours. I would replace it for La nuit de L'homme, Midnight in Paris by Van cleef and Arpels, or even Lanvin Avant Garde. Spice Bomb for me is a No No. It's not bad at all, put to me, it's just cinnamon...

[@Francisyrah]

Fantastic taste 😁

[@Redolessence]

Thank you very much!

[@samirdavis2729]

Great list have to agree! But no Acqua Di Gio come on man haha.

[@Redolessence]

Samir Davis Haha... I love AdG, and I have worn it so much. It was tough leaving fragrances out of the list! Thank you for watching!

[@timschutte3961]

How long does the Aventus copy last...?

[@waragainstwar1]

Hey Steven, Could you suggest me a pineapple based fragrance apart from aventus

[@chickboy359]

Armafs La Nuit Intense for Men...cheaper clone of Aventus and same pineapple,smoky note. To my skin,projects much better than Aventus.

[@dajolaw]

+Patrick Echevarria I get more pine than pineapple from La Nuit Intense. Woody smokey over citrus smokey.

[@chickboy359]

+dajolaw Pine as in pine tree? Huh! That's a new one and totally a different kind of scent. First time I heard someone say pine.

[@dajolaw]

Check out some Aventus reviews (which Club de Nuit clones) and you'll occasionally hear other people talk about the pine/woody note. A semi-common complaint is that it smells like Pine-Sol (which I think is a bit extreme). For me the woody note overwhelms the pineapple/citrus note everyone talks about. For Club de Nuit, the smokiness stands out above all. Stills smells nice, mind you! Just not citrusy to me.

[@chickboy359]

+dajolaw That's the fun about fragrances....everyone has different nose and appreciation. Bottomline is, as long you enjoy the scent,you don't have to worry what or which it smells like. If you love it,wear it proud.

[@realfragsforrealmen6634]

What would be your most masculine, truly manly fragrance ever? Nothing sweet, sugary watery, candy floss pretty-boy frags but something really manly?

[@RaviSingh-xl3os]

RealFrags for RealMen try aqua di gio profumo (super manly yet crowd pleasing year round fragrance that lasts all day) also check out John varvatos vintage it's also manly but dnt last more than 5 maybe 6 hrs same with ch men prive very masculine but dnt last more than 4 to 6 hrs.

[@malamute4793]

I like most of the fragrances on the list, with the exception of the Hermes which to me smells like a slightly rotten fruit. Maybe I just got a bad sample but did not smell good to me.

[@msieee]

I want "Top 10 Best / Favorite Designer Fragrances / Colognes for Men by my wife"

[@michaelkohl2250]

what about a new video with the releases of 2016? armani code profumo has to be on the list

+Sid Khan I was actually just thinking of redoing this! Thank you for the recommendation!

[@SniperZero]

I feel like you should keep the beard more close the face.

[@Redolessence]

I've been told that by a few people. Thank you for watching!

[@drycksgameplays]

Hi sir! I always love your reviews! I'm trying to purchase a fragrance that has no review yet even on the internet I guess. Can you check out this one, Samourai BlackLight, by Alain Delon. It would be a huge pleasure to me if you will check this out! Thank you sir, you're one of the reason why I love fragrances!

[@Redolessence]

+Drycks That means a lot that you said that! I will check that fragrance out!
