Top 10 Summer Fragrances / Colognes 2013

[@firzenfrenzy]

Ive been looking at that jar of peanut butter near the window the whole time

[@Sezaru]

Amazing top 10 Doc, love the addition of where to wear it, maybe you can tell how much and where you spray it so beginners like me can use it more efficiently.

[@Redolessence]

Anything.... Aventus! Haha. Great list, Cody! Very entertaining!

[@dracdoc]

I have tried it..however I don't remember much about it..or being floored. I'd have to try it again to jog my memory

[@RyzFragz34]

Nice list Cody. Glad to see eau savage, I purchased both the edt and edp, I really like them a lot. Like roadster a lot as well. I have 2012 DHS and you r right longevity is awesome. Picking up blue de chanel today.

[@koolv6844]

Great review I'm getting heavy into colognes so looking for so good scents to pick up

[@NiclasLundgren]

I really like the new take on your list, excellent job Doc! :)

[@CigarBen]

Great list. I have many, but you've given me a list of new ones to try out, especially the Frapin.

[@RyzFragz34]

Just watched the niche half. Great list. A few frags i need to get on this list. Really want to get d600. I have heard it is really nice. Thanks for the great lists Cody.

[@dracdoc]

Yup.. its still up there but I'll admit it was close. I just can't supplant it by L'Humaniste because of performance.

[@jeremybaehr5455]

Cody, I was wondering if you could review a cologne called Fan di Fendi Acqua. I haven't tried it out yet but I was able to smell it in a magazine. Thanks a lot

[@dracdoc]

Virgin Island Water and Cartier Roadster are two of my favorite in those situations. Orange Sanguine is also great if you like orange juice.

[@RyzFragz34]

One more thing, I blind bought B22 because of you and am so glad I did. Awesome frag!!

[@LexGuy06]

Was a hot day in NYC my sotd was L'eau d'issey Pour Homme..great vid!

[@peake344]

Two great lists doc! Can you tell me was Versace Pour Homme a close consideration for the designer's at all? Thank-you.

[@princedebby7068]

Generally a great review by all standard. With love from Nigeria

[@rdog7853]

I would be lost in the Blind Buy Bermuda Triangle, if not for you, Mark, Brandon, and a few others ( CoachRob619 and FRANGRANCEFANATIC ). Thank you for all the help and guidance.

[@TheBatman777]

I owe you an apology. Lol. I was upset at Perry Ellis red when i first got it because it bothered my nose and smelled like lucas. Wore it today but sprayed very lightly and got two compliments. I guess the trick is to spray lightly. Thanks doc! Next buy is Bleu de Chanel.

[@dracdoc]

cool.. I've heard some other people mention that MI flattens out as well

[@Stanley0137]

Love your reviews!! I don't have the Virgin Island Water as I found it similar to MI (one of my favorites as is Aventus). Have you ever trided Creed's Acier Aluminium? I hate it at first but the dry down is awesome for me. I'd love your feedback as will be trying your #1 (Bergamante 22 sadly I'm not too familiar with that one). Thank you Sir!!!

[@archiroy1578]

i am also considering l'eau d'issey ..you can suggest anything outside but i have serious longevity and projection issue.So please suggest accordingly. p.s: i live in a very hot and humid weather.

[@agigcbo]

Cody: just had a question as to how you can tell the batch # on Creeds. Just curious due to the batch issues that have been mentioned with Aventus in particular. Great vid and great pics!

[@razscott]

Superb list Cody!! Nice to see issey and bleu in there, I gotta get my nose on that G vetiver

[@rdog7853]

Oh yea, I was wondering what kept 212 off the summer designer list. Do you stop wearing it, after spring? I thought it would make it, because of its longevity. I have ordered it ( blind buy ), and was hoping it was not too heavy, to wear in the summer. I work outside, as a letter carrier. Thanks again, dracdoc!

[@camdavis38]

Cody, have you tried Prada Luna Rossa yet? I really enjoy it in the heat.

[@pittsburghsteelers]

Hey Doc! Keep up the good work. What are your thoughts on Coney Island by Bond No 9? I've always thought this was a classier version of Acqua Di Gio with some cool gourmand elements. Your thoughts on Coney Island or Wall Street? Or can we wait for a review?

[@claudeleason]

Yuzu is a Japanese grapefruit. Its rind and juice is often used as a seasoning ingredient in many Japanese dishes.

[@Guinea54]

Have you ever tried the issey miyake yuzu?

[@AP0LL0edc]

I love MI but hate that it "flattens out" after about an hour, which is why I haven't pulled the trigger on a full bottle. L'Humaniste is one of my faves. I often layer Aventus with VIW, which I believe gives it a nice lift. Still haven't sniffed B22. Must do so soon. Great list!

[@jcb0920]

Doc, one more question...I'm torn between Tom Ford Grey Vetiver or Guerlain Vetiver. Clearly the Guerlain is easier on the wallet but I've heard that Tom Ford is a more refined, complex vetiver. I'm interested to know, if you could pick one, which would it be?

[@Floridasunshine_88]

i appreciate a man who know's how to smell nice :) great choices! i love Creed Silver Mountain Water.

[@dracdoc]

Eau Sauvage was something I instantly liked.. it has this quality to it

[@purpledc1]

What do you think of the original guerlain vetiver compared to the eau glacee verion you talk about in the video?

[@MaverickIQ]

Can you please tell which fragrances are suited for very hot and very humid weather?

[@archiroy1578]

I am going to buy either le male or paco rabbane for summer in india. Please help and please reply soon. All i want to get from a perfume is loads and loads of compliments.I have thierry mugler A*men didn't quite last on my skin during the day may be coz i sweat a lot.

[@AlexandruCirip]

Great reviews, man, helped me a lot - thanks and keep them coming! Along the Aqua Di Gio - Perry Ellis 360 Red line, have you tried Paris Hilton Just Me For Men? I know that I might be commiting a les majeste crime here, but to my profane nose, PHJMFM is better than ADG. I also think that ADG is no longer an option, since it was, afaik, sadly reformulated...

[@dracdoc]

I've had some experience with it..no problems from here. However its an online retail site so exercise caution

[@111thomas111]

you should get a refrigator for all your perfumes, and i feel like it smells fresher ,and it doesnt get old so fast.

[@archiroy1578]

Good job man!you are doing an awesome work.

[@bman101298]

I've used them also and always had fast shipping and legit frags. Make sure to find a coupon if you do shop there.

[@Justsomeguy1015]

I tried out issey miyake l'eau Dissey in macy's but it only seems to last on my skin for 2 hours...... I love the scent but the life span is too short! Could it be that the sample in macys is old or just my skin. Also it fails to project after one and a half hours.

[@rolfrau5743]

what do you think about nikos-sculpture ?

[@mridul7011]

Nice video... Thanks... Your Views on Chanel Allure Homme Edition Balnche pls

[@dolphinsattack]

Issey Miyake for me smells floral like rose and tulip pedals in a vase of water. Very damp like in a musky field after it rains. I think Issey Miyake works best on a warm spring and summer damp day. Versace Man Fraiche is best suited for a really hot day in the sun.

[@michaliskoutalianou12]

where can i get creed perfumes shipped internationally because i live in greece ??

[@jcb0920]

Yo Doc! Glad to see Eau Sauvage made the list. I was looking for a clean, classic scent that would impart what a "classic man" might have worn in the 50's and 60's. I bought it blind but was certainly not disappointed. There's absolutely something to be said for a woman smelling you and remembering the comforts of her childhood ; ) My biggest disappointment with this scent is its longevity...with three or four sprays, I can't even smell it a few hours later. What's your experience with it?

[@odice8605]

How is issey miyake nuit in comparison to the original ?

[@BABA-GOMI]

thanks for that astounding video....and, i find you've rated creed's aventus lower than millesime imperial even though the former is much more expensive. any particular reason!

[@kyaaron39]

Versace pour homme is my most complimented by far.

[@justin55723]

What would you recommend if you really don't like citrus?

[@dracdoc]

Ill take a look at it!

[@dracdoc]

To be honest I have not smelled it, what does it smell like?

[@DDKdboy123]

Aye dracdoc I was wondering if you could refer me for 2 summer scent colognes I'm in highschool but I'm mature Iive had Versace put homme and allure homme sport previously it would be great if you oils reply thank you

[@DMOtron32]

It sucks for me that I don't get good longevity on bergamot 22. I still plan on getting this but will just have to carry a atomizer.

[@curtflirt2]

I need to try the regular version of Aqua Universalis

[@princedebby7068]

I personally freaked when you mentioned Issey Miyake. Damn!!! My all time favorite whether now or in the future. That reminds me, i need a new bottle right away.

[@laxm0nkey]

I need a summer fragrance, one with great longevity and sillage. i work outside in the summers in 100~ degree Fahrenheit weather. I would like it to be able to get me noticed. price is of no issue. i like fresh spicy's. aquatics dont mix well with my skin. any suggestions?

[@flygandegrisar2190]

you can try out hilfiger by tommy hilfiger or armani code by emporio armani. i like those two very much.

[@WaKandaIRE]

flygande grisar Its not a case of liking the fragrance its how it will react to to temperature,I live in Ireland so i couldn't suggest a fragrance for hot weather :)

[@laxm0nkey]

flygande grisar i tried tommy hilfiger and it smells very weird to me. i will have to try out armani code

[@almsafa7]

Thanks Doc , Gr8 List

[@andykiwiboy]

how would you rate Black XS, PACO RABANNE?

[@cassianomedina2533]

Was up yo!!! This question is really out of the topic. Im repainting my living roon I wanna know the name color of your wall? Thank you

[@dracdoc]

Haha, would Love to help but I have no idea. That's my old place. It was a slightly lighter shade of Olive.

[@cassianomedina2533]

dracdoc thanks alot bro!

[@DUBISMARIA]

cassiano medina is olive green

[@colles8175]

i think it's more of the inside of an avocado green than olive green.

[@kylefarmer3091]

+Nicolle you must be getting some rotten ass avacados😂 that looks nothing like the inside of an avacado. olive green is a wayyyyyy better answer!

[@raidernationcali]

What do u think of just me by paris hilton?

[@BABA-GOMI]

what about green irish tweed?

[@dracdoc]

That is strictly my spring baby!

[@Toneyfish]

Great video man, keep up the good work! SOTD Versace Pour Homme

[@minhkha6143]

Bleu de Chanel vs Nautica Voyage, which would you choose if you could pick one?

[@dracdoc]

Minh Kha personally I like Bleu better

[@minhkha6143]

Price doesn't really mean anything. I bought Bleu De Chanel, but at first I tried it and didn't really like it because it was clawing. Over time, it grew on me. But when I first tried Nautica, I thought it smelled really good. The only reason I didn't buy it was because it reminded me of warmer weather. Bleu De Chanel is versatile all year round.

[@dracdoc]

It's been a rockstar and I love it

[@zapatastyle]

That was a great resource. I wrote them all down- thanks!!

[@HammerfallJonas]

Hi there! I'm looking for a perfect night club scent for SUMMER nights. It's very easy to find good ones for fall and winter but for summer I've not really found that special one. Looking for a elegant, sexy, standing out fragrance. Not D&G The One, already have it :) Regards Jonas.

[@tuaic1]

What about versace pour homme?

[@Kelvinjan]

Been looking around online to buy frags and even went on basenote forums and most people seem to say fragrancenet is a reputable site...what's your take on it? Any experiences with it or heard form anyone?

[@joeanthony2789]

Awesome list man

[@Shanester66]

Hermes Voyage...edp or edt?

[@dracdoc]

Mmm.. Don't think I need a whole list for it. A couple of those fragrances are specifically for Summer Nights.. D&G The One.. Andy Warhol.. I end up wearing Aventus at nights too

[@dracdoc]

Solid choice!

[@vsorlando1679]

I haven't tested Eau Sauvage yet. And I know you did this video in 2013 but how does it compare to Christopher Dior's - Extreme?

[@vsorlando1679]

ugh - I actually think it's Tom Ford - Extreme. I can't remember the Dior blend I sampled at Sephora; it had notes of whiskey. But anyway, nevermind!

[@dracdoc]

Glad to help!

[@SONICE69]

Yeah Cody, you aReally really have to. For me, it's the "Holy Grail" of citrus frags... It was on sale at Min New York for the longest time when they were having a clearance.... Too bad for me, I missed out.. A great place to buy it tho (reputable & classy ) is a place called Parfums Raffy in California.... You can't find a 100ml ANYWHERE... I grabbed the 50ml at Raffy for $260 less 10% discount. Great place!!!

[@dracdoc]

Definitely!

[@Ghyll]

your dhs sport is original, new one has got yellowish colour. On my skin I get shitty longevity with leau de issey.Projects for ~2hours like crazy and then dies down completely. Need to get my nose on Dior eau sauvage. Good picks.

[@dracdoc]

I'm actually getting ready to release a review on it.. its ok

[@MrFabioconde]

Amazing list bud! cheers

[@dracdoc]

Nice!

[@kingalex9]

Did u review orange sanguine??

[@dracdoc]

alex Johnson Not yet, I will though

[@doncolumbia2]

Where is the best place to get Creed fragrances at a good price? I live in Austin, TX.

[@jdx9473]

I get alot of samples from this seller online...legit and packages them well www.ebay.com/itm/261409494719?var=&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

[@jdx9473]

That's for Millesime Imperial by Creed

[@MrBluesnbot]

How many perfumanias do you own?

[@justin55723]

I was really happy with my bottle of Polo's Double Black and Mont Blanc's Legend. I really dislike powdery feeling fragrances or anything really spicy. Something with a modern feel to it. Never in full suit attire but usually business casual.

[@tucktimosprime]

ed hardy villian is such a good alternative to D+G the one,,great logevity..

[@jakiparfums]

Hi, Dracdoc I am a perfumer in Chicago and I would like to send you some of my copositions... love to hear what you think...jaki

[@dracdoc]

I have a video out regarding this.. buying fragrances

[@BAR-ct7ti]

Nice

[@Viettzz]

I thought Aventus would be your #1 Niche? but it ended up at #8?

[@dracdoc]

Eh.. even if you didn't like it.. its still subjective so no worries. Bleu is an excellent fragrance imo!

[@jeremybaehr5455]

Thanks!

[@MrVernon437]

Great list bro!

[@Adan2606]

No Edition Blanche in the Designer top10?!

[@dracdoc]

Thnx!

[@curtflirt2]

Millesime Imperial was the scent of the day for me.

[@openmoutheats]

Wow didn't expect Andy Warhol, Great List

[@dracdoc]

damn man.. for some reason this just STAYS with my skin the entire way

[@dracdoc]

Nice, you shouldn't regret Bleu De Chanel
