TOP 7 MANLY FRAGRANCES FOR MEN - BEST MOST MASCULINE COLOGNES

[@markperkins9445]

The cry for a return to the masculine has become deafening. From my fellow men in the workplace to the female looking for love the question on everyone's lips is 'where have all the men gone?'' SOTD ironically is Apex by Roja.

[@potentatewags]

Yes, tired of everything being unisex anymore. It's fine to have some here and there, but a man should smell like a man.

[@Mysticlees]

Apex is definitely masculine. Nice touch

[@proverbs279fragrances]

Yes!!! Being a masculine man is simply being a man! It's ok to be masculine. It's ok to be manly!

[@garthwright6308]

These reviews are real! I am an even bigger fan now with the new style and content. I have you at number two behind Aaron Terrence Hughes! 😁

[@sicksquid3258]

And two more brilliant 'cheapies' are Denim & Davidoff zino.

[@MrHandle70]

Just bought some Zino by Davidoff. Apparently a very masculine fragrance. I have to say I think it is gorgeous.

[@KhaiFirst]

always enjoyed watching your video Dan and chypre fulminare is GOOD

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thank you so much Khai!

[@andreidanielpetre]

Great list, I have several. As a more modern list - it's easy to find manly older frags, but hard to find new ones as most are unisex/metro - I add: Amouage Beach Hut Man, Dunhill Agar Wood, Cartier Declaration Parfum, Dior Sauvage Elixir, Floris Vert Fougere, Hermes Equipage Geranium, Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey PH Fraiche, John Varvatos Artisan Blu and Lalique Encre Noire A L'Extreme. All are post 2015, so they really can be considered modern. Cheers!

[@jonstern7511]

I find Floris Vert Fougere a bit odd. Not my favourite Floris!

[@Smoke_C]

The new Xerjoff Groove Xcape is incredible and over the top masculine.

[@d.scentgent5382]

I came here for Bois Du Portugal, there's no point mincing that lol. I liked Pour Monsieur EDP initially but then I found a bottle of Santos De Cartier Concentrée for incredibly cheap & aside from the sweetness, PM EDP really reminded me of it (so it felt redundant). One I thought might've made the list, just knowing your love for Bois Du Portugal, was Nicolai's New York Intense. That, to me, is maybe how you look at BdP.

[@myownpersonalopinion4541]

Floris no89, tf grey vetiver, eau sauvage edt, chanel antaeus, guerlain vetiver, cool water davidoff, paco by paco rabanne

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks great list.

[@myownpersonalopinion4541]

@@MrSmelly1977 I agree that masculine frags should be masculine not the metrosexual junk we get these days I'm glad you are keeping classic fragrance alive

[@javierdiazsantana]

Greetings Mr. Naughton. I do have right now Agua Brava. My leather scent is Bentley For Men in the EDT formulation. I also have Lapidus Pour Homme which i thought in the beginning would be rather unisex but hell no, sir i was wrong. Polo green, Salvador Dali For Him (Herbal leather scent from the 90's) Quorum by Puig (A sort of muskier dirtier and less refined Polo green) and Givenchy Gentleman from 1974 i do also have in collection, they're just less used than those others. My favorite two of the bunch are Gentleman and Bentley, then Lapidus. Agua Brava is good for daily wear here in the city pretty much all year round. Quorum for colder days, Bentley as well, Lapidus for when i want to go to a club or project animalic like a skunk and intimidate people. I sometimes wear around 5 or 6 sprays of that and it is BRUTAL. The Dali is a vintage and i only have like third an ounce of it or less, so i will take care of it, actually Givenchy Gentleman in the modern formula was a nice one but i resold it and didn't got a very good price for it, so i guess i deserve a fragrance for free someday. I hope you are well, and i see, the UK seems rather hot lately but there has been a heatwave all around the world. Here in my city i swear i could go swimming in a cold pond if it evergets hotter, but rain season has arrived here and after it gets away the climate will be far colder overall. Greetings

[@johnscarr70]

The UK is a furnace! Surprised not to see Lapidus PH, but there's a limit, I suppose. Givenchy Gentleman is my signature and my go to for 30 odd years. If I had my way someone would be locked up for the reformulation!

[@javierdiazsantana]

@@johnscarr70 I see sir. I have the current formulas and enjoy them heavily, i would assume the current were Formulated by Firmenich perfumers like Nathalie Lorson. However, i do see the reformulation perfectly decent, and still with a longevity above average, of some 8 - 10 hours and of a week or two in clothing. Maybe lock up ifra members and not the perfumers? Hehe. Greetings AND thanks on the comment.

[@HorologicRannygazoo]

I completely forgot about Jules.... man, just the name takes me back to my early teens. Your intro had me pulling up Peter Gabriel Live in Atlanta '87 which will now consume my next hour plus. In addition to the Pour Monsieur, the most masculine in my collection: Royal Copenhagen, Polo, Sung Homme, Aramis, and Guerlain Vetiver

[@_Solaris]

Well, I _do_ have Chypre Fulminare & Rogue Bon Monsieur. These are probably the most masculine James Bond-esque frags in my collection 👍

Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day

Happy weekend to you.Enjoy your reviews from Georgia USA. Cliff

Thank you very much Cliff!

Gucci Nobile was one of my favourites. Wish they would re-release it.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Great scent.

[@dorianphilotheates3769]

These days, not a chance.

[@rd5469]

Like the selection, especially the Creed, I would throw Royal Water in there too as far as Creed goes. I have to say Versace and Paco Rabanne Por Homme are super masculine too. And Paco Rabanne actually gets me compliments and I’m 45, I remember my Uncles wearing that and the English Leather after shave which is now garbage because of IFRA regulations. A lot of classics are trash now because of regulations that force reformulations. Especially the limitations on Oak Moss.

[@MrHorse-by3mp]

No arguments with this list. I'd just like to add Figment Man from Amouage as a really good modern animalic fragrance. Annick Menardo has done some amazing, groundbreaking frags over the years and Figment is no exception. Never got even the least bit of "hype" though it really deserved to. I think it might have been discontinued but should still be available on the discount market.

[@scent_jeannie]

Hey Dan, excellent choices as always. Do you prefer the eau de parfum or eau de toilette of Chanel pour monsieur?

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thank you Jeannie. I think the original EDT had to be my favourite by a narrow margin.

[@stephenloy3535]

beautiful selection.Jules is indeed a jewel,(as is Gravitas:).I just ordered some Le Roy Soeil Home,by Salvador Dali.I have not smelled it yet,it may be a surreal experience

[@legeanflorin]

Finally someone crazy enough to have common sense and not shy away from calling a fragrance 'masculine/manly' or 'feminine'❤❤❤❤❤

[@Mr477215]

Would somebody be so kind as to tell me what song that is in the skit? Thank you. Great video as always Dan! I am in my late 20s and I love to wear manly classic masculine fragrances. My favorites include: Chanel Antaeus, Hermes Bel Ami, Creed Bois du Portugal and Dior Fahrenheit. I've had Jules and liked it but didn't love it - it reminded me more of Estee Lauder for Men than Kouros btw.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thank you. The song is Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel

[@grundle69mcswag19]

Good evening MrSmelly1977 May I ask if you could do a video on the strongest fragrances that you know of that don’t break the bank. I’ve seen your video on Ted Lapidus PH and Jacques bogart Furyo and think the list could be greatly expanded upon. I’m thinking something like silver scent or one man show gold.

[@adrianhargreaves2854]

I might try floris elite. I just looked on fragrantica and it had good reviews. I have bois du portugal and I’ve just run out of my Chanel pour monsoir . So I think that’s next.

[@robcrisall787]

Please make sure you smell a sample first. I have been using floris for 24 years, I’m a massive fan but that one is not my favourite at all. It’s a very old man smell. Just my opinion
