Platinum Egoiste is such a great scent, it has so much nuance. One spray and it starts with this sporty, fresh scent, then the dry down is this warm citrus/woody smell. I cannot tell you how many times I have received comments on it. I agree with you it's any time everyday wearable scent--great picks!
This was a great video my friend, I just want to say as a 43 year old man your the 1st person I’ve ever seen in UA-cam who actually acknowledges the fact that what you wear affects how people perceive your fragrances👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼, a woman I know said a guy walked into her store wearing a t shirt and sweat pants but he was wearing TV, she acknowledged how good he smelled but subconsciously knew it didn’t go with his look at that time. It’s all relative guys.

This was the best fragrance/Top-10-list that I've seen so far! You put just the right amount of details into every description of a scent! Really informative and helpful, perfect presentation! :) Keep it up man!
This video has to be your best to date. I really appreciate the time you took to make your choices and describing what you were wearing when receiving the compliments.
My friend, I watched this video yesterday and took your advice and bought Allure Homme Edition Blanche. What an amazing fragrance! It goes with everything..., casual or formal, summer or winter. Thanks for recommending.
Thank you dracdoc for this video you have help me boost my collection up and your alternative selection are pin point which help me save money and get the same quality smell thank you and keep up the good work
Great video - I appreciate your ability to effectively articulate scents that I'm interested in. They really help in my purchase decision process. Keep up the great work!
Hello Dracdoc, I love your reviews and I'm a huge fan as well. Could you kindly recommend or suggest online store where I can purchase my perfumes? Thanks.
Hey Cody. Thank you so so much for all your videos. I am new to the fragrance game and need a good introduction to darker fragrances. I was thinking about D&G the one. What do you think? Also, how can I get my hands on Express reserve?
Ah good point about suites. I'm glad you mentioned that during your review. Presenting oneself well really makes the difference. I like your personal stories and applications with each fragrance. Great list. All of these seem reasonable. I also like the alternatives you present.
I watched a few of your videos dradoc and you hit on a lot of good points. So without even having the chance to smell it, I bought "Reserve for Men" because it was your No. 1. Man, it smells really great! It dries down very nice and smells good on my skin. It's getting worn to church this Sunday! :)
Thanks man for your sophisticated touch of perfume ..so what do you recommend for very hot and humid climate like the one of subsaharra with long duration and intense odour ..Thanks again
glad there's other guys out there that love cologne as much as i do. by the way, you're a very well spoken man. my colognes of choice are Tommy Bahama Man, Lacoste Red and Drakkar Noir
i love your confidence- i love a man who wears cologne - shows you like to groom, be clean and fresh and have the intelligence to explore something new x Chantelle x
my fav of all time is silver shadow by davidoff for some reason .. its just very masculine and intense i think its a hidden gem , always AlWAYS gets me compliments ! cool video i rely enjoyed it thanks !
Hey Cody- Watch a lot of your videos. I live In extremely hot climate and told/read lanvin sport does really well. Bought w bottle and find it has good staying power. Is it something you could do a review on or have thoughts on? Thanks
Great list cody, very well researched and it shows, you give your opinion and dont fall into the trap of following the crowd, that's why you're such an awesome review! Do you think there's any reason why DHI doesn't do as well in other settings, does it lead back to people thinking it is 'sexy' rather than nice and it would be inappropriate to say 'sexy' in casual situations or at work?
Hey, thanks so much for the video! I had close to 0 knowledge going in and to be honest I only listened to the top 3 colognes but you were very helpful and informative. I've heard Aqua di Gio by Armani is very popular, do you have an opinion on that fragrance?
Great list! Im a big fan of One Million by Paco Robanne (which also has a cheaper smell-alike 'Halloween' by Jesus Del Pozo) and Spice Bomb by Viktor&Rolf and of course... Givenchy 'Pi'! Please do another cologne list soon...maybe top 10 under $50 or something lol
hey bro have you ever smelled Dloce & Gabana by men...its in a zebra print bottle..its hands down my favorite cologne bit its discontinued so its hard to find and expensive but the best!! well best to me.
Dradoc you are so right on designer getting waaaaayyyyyy more compliments than the niche. Hiro once said that Play Intense was one of his most complimented fall/winter frags over any niche that he owned. And for Spring/Summer, Versace Eau Fraiche is king with the ladies, over any thing niche I own for the same seasons. What's up with that, do you think?
Thanks for your video! Could you recommend a place to safely purchase the older version of Express Reserve for Men? Also, how would you say that it is different from the newer version? I did get my nose on the older version in a store a few years back, and recall it reminding me of a Brooks Brothers fragrance, though I cannot recall which one of the BB it brought to mind. Thanks so much!
Excellent Video. I was a bit surprised that there were no TM's on the list. I get comments/complements on A*men and Pure Havane all the time. Well maybe not all the time...but from time to time anyway.;) But differnt skin types...different situations...weather. All these things can make a difference on how a fragrance plays off of our skin. Thanks for the video.
Hi, there's three men's fragrances I've sampled but have not seen them on your most hated or complimented reviews. I'd like your opinion on: Burberry Touch, Mont Blanc Presence and Nautica Classic by Coty.. Thanks
Hi, do you know any trustable website to buy fragrances? it has happened to me that I have bought some on line and by the time I got them, they do not smell the same. Thanks in advance for the reviews and keep the good work!!!
I got the Chanel Platinum today, and it reminds me a lot of Eternity by Calvin Klein. I like both scents, but would probably buy Eternity just for the price since they smell so similar to me. What do you think Doc?
Carlton would not have a picture sitting on the floor instead of it's rightful place, the wall. However, I love your videos and your honest opinion combined with unsolicited compliments.
Great video... you seemed to know what you are talking about since I find your top 10 colognes be actually correct since I have seen other videos where their top 10 seemed to be a little off to most peoples top 10, including myself. Well except for your number one cologne which i have not smelled but based on your choices it seems to be like a fragrance made from heaven, so I order it and i am trusting you on this one...lol anyhow great video..... thumps up all the way... :)
Thanks for your reviews it helped me open to many fragrances unknown I see few perfumes change after applying on body, may be the sweat changes it or may be some other reason. How do you take a guess on which to buy that will stay on you as it is on first opening. I mean I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IT BEFORE BUYING. Any tips on buying guide pls many times I go to the store and only spray the one I like on my hand and request the store guy I will get it next day.. it kind feels awkward .. how will you handle it
Yah, most are summer frags or ones that tend to do better in the winter. It's easier in general to be smelled in the summer than winter (heat, less layers of clothes, more situations to smell) So it doesn't surprise me now that I look back on it.
Hey Cody, ill be heading to cabos Mexico this summer and I would like to know which cologne you recommend i take for the day and night ? I was thinking virgin island wanted by creed (day) And armani code by giorgio Armani (night)
hi. just a general question. what would you say is the best way to apply a fragrance? i usually apply it to my clothes because i felt the smell would be easier for me and others to smell. what would you recommend?
+dracdoc I'm confused about which one to choose between Salvatore Ferragamo F Black and Carolina Herrara CH Men and Rasasi Tasmeen... Plz suggest.. Is it advisable to store our fragrances in landscape position especially while traveling.. Or How to store our perfumes in travel bags etc..!! Thanks a ton.!!
Hey thank you for this video. I found it informative and interesting. Have you checked out Aqua Di Gio Essenza EDP? I'm liking this one. You don't rate One Million or 212 Sexy for compliments then?
Was happy to see L'eau D'Issey pour homme get some love....I also like Burberry weekend a LOT for casual use in the spring and summer..Plus it is very inexpensive.
what's your opinion on dior homme intese vs homme sport ? I have the sport one and i think it smells great, is intense close to sport or not ? I also purchased armani code (not sport) have you tried it and if so what's your opinion on it ?
Hello Doc, i just bought the Acqua Di Gio and have try it out on me, and I just wonder how do you know if it project that people around you can smell it ?
It's cool how you give alternatives. Great video. I am new to the community and your videos are awesome. Just did my first couple reviews. Let me know what you think.
Initially very strong.. after a couple of hours it begins to fade on my skin. I think its fine for an 18 year old.. some may say too mature but try it out
This is about your # 3: D&G The One. Would you rate "The One Gentleman" on the same level as the original? I've ordered it and it's on the way...but I'm thinking of returning it when it arrives.
Recent subscriver, really good work you and the other guys are doing! I always try to get your opinion. Buying L'Eau d'Issey, btw :) Keep up the fantastic work. Cheers from Portugal.
Can you also mention where to get all these fragrances. A few times I searched in stores and none had them. Getting them online does not seem like a good idea.
How many sprays of GIT do you wear? I have a 30ml decant and I never seem to get any compliments on it lol (not that I am desperately looking for compliments) I usually only wear 1 or maybe 2 sprays. Other frags like Versace Pour Homme always seem to get me compliments with only 1 spray.
why did they reformulate? I remember that rue21 had a fragrance called CJ black. In fact they still have it and when it first came out it was absolutely amazing and I got so many compliments on it. I bought it again in recent years and it smelled synthetic and watered down. Why does this happen?
This guy is one of the Top reviewers when it comes to fragrances. Keep up the good work Dracdoc

La Nuit De L'Homme is also a great scent. I've been wearing it for a couple of weeks now (during nights out) and already got lots of compliments!
I dont like it personally but damn it does get compliments.
@@sarveshpol9142 it got reformulated after the video and comment
Watching this purely for nostalgic reasons.
This video has to be your best to date. I really appreciate the time you took to make your choices and describing what you were wearing when receiving the compliments.

D&G the one is a nice choice.. get express reserve online (look around)
Ah good point about suites. I'm glad you mentioned that during your review. Presenting oneself well really makes the difference.

Hey Cody-
Watch a lot of your videos.
I live In extremely hot climate and told/read lanvin sport does really well.
Bought w bottle and find it has good staying power.
Is it something you could do a review on or have thoughts on?
Thanks
Great list cody, very well researched and it shows, you give your opinion and dont fall into the trap of following the crowd, that's why you're such an awesome review!

I like nice fragrances! I recently try out some and BLEU DE CHANEL is one of my favorites.
Hi, great videos. Can you recommend anywhere online that sells Reserve by Express ? I've looked but can't find anywhere. Thanks
Hey, thanks so much for the video! I had close to 0 knowledge going in and to be honest I only listened to the top 3 colognes but you were very helpful and informative. I've heard Aqua di Gio by Armani is very popular, do you have an opinion on that fragrance?
I love your videos, especially the TOP ten ones. I was wondering if you could answer what kind of season fragrance Blue Jeans by Versace is.
...good review...love Gio and Le Male....I also have gravitated towards Gaultier 2...
U r right these are amazing!!! I just got three prefumes of the list thanks!
Glad to help!
Is your Dior homme intense vintage,or it is new version?
What do you think bouth the new version?

Great video and great list. I really really wished I could get at least average longevity with dg the one. That's 1 of my most complimented as well
hey bro have you ever smelled Dloce & Gabana by men...its in a zebra print bottle..its hands down my favorite cologne bit its discontinued so its hard to find and expensive but the best!! well best to me.

And for Spring/Summer, Versace Eau Fraiche is king with the ladies, over any thing niche I own for the same seasons. What's up with that, do you think?

Great video !!!!
Thanks for all the great info !!!!

Cool water and ADG!!! This is one super honest list. Do you own Bleu de Chanel doc? I was thinking that would pop up somewhere.
How much does UK charge for shipping? I would try to purchase online and have it shipped (probably would need to do bulk though)
Nice video ! Always good to hear your take on fragrances. Claus from Denmark
Awesome list! How sprays do you usually do with Edition Blanche?
Cody - what are the notes in the Express Reserve you have..I want to make sure I get the darker juice version when ordering. Thanks.
thanks so much dradoc for the video
Could you possibly give me some trusted fragrances web sites
Excellent Video. I was a bit surprised that there were no TM's on the list. I get comments/complements on A*men and Pure Havane all the time. Well maybe not all the time...but from time to time anyway.;)

Musc Ravageur my No.1 of all time!!! love that stuff
Great video. I love chanel frags, I'm ordering Allure EB blind based on your comments.
Greetings dracdoc. Do you ever wear oils? I wear both fragrances and oils. I love mixing them and coming up with some sure winners.
What are you looking to spend for him? You want something in-offensive.. I recommend Strellson No. 1
Amazing vid! but can you please tell me what do you think about bleu de chanel?
I have a review on bleu de chanel out already, do a search
Nop
It's cool how you give alternatives. Great video. I am new to the community and your videos are awesome. Just did my first couple reviews. Let me know what you think.
Cody, do you have vintage or reform DHI? I have both and they are great, very subtle differences.
Initially very strong.. after a couple of hours it begins to fade on my skin. I think its fine for an 18 year old.. some may say too mature but try it out
This is about your # 3: D&G The One. Would you rate "The One Gentleman" on the same level as the original? I've ordered it and it's on the way...but I'm thinking of returning it when it arrives.
Very nice and well done video Cody.
Interesting list. Keep up the good work!

Excellent reviews! What is that ringtone?
Hi Dracdoc!. Do You know any fragrances that have longevity for dry skin?
your voice is very audiogenic
Difference between oils and spray ons.. where is the best place to put on your body
what do you think about Paris Hilton for men. to me it doesn't give me a headache like most male fragrances do. please give me your input on that.
