Beau du jour is my ride or die. I wear it often when in a suit and tie it just works. You don’t wear a bathing suit to a wedding and you don’t wear a suit to the shore. Beau du jour is an amazing formal scent.
That intro was friggin' excellent! Damn near choked on my coffee! 🤣 You have great taste, man! I'm 42 and I'm a huge fan of old school "manly" fragrances. Growing up, my dad wore Aramis and Paco Rabanne PH and Azzaro PH and the OG Polo and Lomani PH... He's the reason why Fougere (my favorite style) and Chypre fragrances have always been a staple in my collection and will always be in my collection.
Eau Sauvage Parfum and Habit Rouge are 2 of my favourite Spring/Summer scents in my collection. I would also add LIDG and Caron 3rd Man to this list. Both are classic more grown up scents.
I don't like to remember, the past is gone, it's just here and now, give me new things, but on the other hand I really appreciate vintage fragrances, not for the memories but for what they tell about the time they were made. Love Eau Sauvage, Safari and Habit Rouge, Eau Sauvage IMO is a timeless scent, the others are a little more dated but I can wear them without issues, I really don't care what people think about my fragrance. Great list JC, thank you!!!
When I was in high school Drakkar Noir and Polo Green were all the rage. Drakkar smelled so good to me but I couldn’t afford it. Was never a big fragrance fan but recently tried a few. Been enjoying Creed GIT, Nishane B612 and MFK Masculine Pluriel lately. Also had to buy a bottle of Roja Danger Parfum Cologne, reminds me of my dad for some reason(he wouldn’t ever spend that $$$ on a frag). Tom Ford BdJ or Dior eau sauvage coming next
So glad that you have made this video! As a person who dives deep into this rabbit hole I got tired of ambroxan, vanilla, tonka bean bombs which most of modern releases are. I started searching for "real man" fragrances and acquiring decants. Most of them have an old man vibe, but after a few wearings I started seeing the handsomeness from these fragrances. They are Davidoff Zino (based on your recommendation for Tom Ford Beau de Jour), Davidoff Cool Water, Guerlain Habit Rouge edt, Guy Laroche Drakkar Noir and Paco Rabbane Pour Homme. I really enjoy this stuff and feel myself as a man in my 20-s. My next targets are Guerlain Vetiver, Alfred Sung Sung Homme, YSL Kouros, Dior Fahrenheit and Hermes Terre D'Hermes edt. Thank you so much for being honest with your audience bringing ideas about personality and identity. You don't lie like most of fragrance UA-camrs who try to sell me another faceless designer flanker promising complements and long lasting experience. Your content is so unique and stands out from the crowd. Your soundtrack, jokes, deep thoughts and overall video vibe are the reason to return to your channel again and again. Watching your videos is one of my pleasures. Thanks a lot.
Great topic JC, I am old school to a tee, I used to wear Habit Rouge. and I can throw 5 more scents of this Era Such as Polo Blue, Paul Sebastian Royal Copenhagen, and RC Musk, Liz Claiborne, Devin by Aramis. (I still wear these)
Great video as always 👍🏾👍🏾 I'm very thankful that your channel has shed some light on old school fragrances. To be totally honest 2 of my old school fragrances has garnered unsolicited compliments! And that is old spice and Stetson!! Yes y'all heard me right 👍🏾 I wear what I like and I don't care who doesn't like it!!☺️ Sometimes I run twords what everyone else runs from!!! Try some old school fragrances and see for yourself what your missing!!! Because a true fragrance enthusiast isn't afraid to think outside the box!!! Or should I say,,, A real man isn't afraid of real man fragrances!!!
Excellent selections Justin! Heritage doesn’t receive enough appreciation as it should. Zaharoff Signature Pour Homme has similar qualities to some of the fragrances on this list. Looking forward to getting a bottle of Beau du Jour.
Sounds like I'm not like most men Justin. These are perfumes which I just love to wear. Most of them I know and like, some I own in my small collection and only 2 I haven't heared off untill now. So 2 are out there for me to get my hands on a sample. All and all sir, for me this was again an awesome video. 💪👌
Great list & video... The vintage stuff is often soooo great... That Givenchy Gentleman -- I've got one from 1988... It is one of the BEST fragrances i own... It's great- crazy strong with nuclear performance (heavy animalic which I like but many might run) and it was not terribly expensive... Also nice mention of the OG Eau Sauvage ... That is really a gorgeous scent and again the VINTAGE BOTTLES (they are still around and expensive though not INSANE) are worth it... If you compare a vintage bottle (pre-1990) to now, even a novice will know the difference easily... Great list as always!
@@stayfreshproductions I worked at Marshall Field's YEARS ago in the fragrance department and one of my colleagues gifted it to me kind of as a joke because he was at least 15-20 years older than me and I would NEVER have worn that at the time (I was 22 or 23)... I never gifted it to anyone and even moved it to Taiwan with me and just started wearing it maybe 4 years ago... It's honestly incredible... Aside from them just not "making them like they used to", I think the biggest difference is the heavy use of real oakmoss and what I GUESS might be actual civet notes? Do you know any details as to when a switch was made from real civet notes to something synthetic? (And I ask not knowing whether I would ACTUALLY be able to smell the difference) but I can definitely tell the difference when oakmoss was getting the ax...
I have the Eau Sauvage edt and honestly it's not my favourite to wear, but it *is* my favourite ti smell - so many olfactory memories associa with that type of scent.
eau sauavge edp 2017 and 2012 are sheer brilliance. habit rouge edt is also great. i should wear that more often. ive grown tired and uninterested in sweeter scents. and leaned more towards mature masculine and more elegant offerings over the last few years. and think it takes time for everyone to venture around to these types of smells. great video!
If I may add to the list respectfully I’d say Amouage bracken man Milano cento him Rogue vert tabac And Nicolai New York intense would have also fit in nicely to your awesome list. I must admit I sold my bottle of heritage EDT as it just didn’t do it for me but I definitely appreciate it and will possibly re visit again as I’d like to get the newer Guerlain bottles to match up with the ideal line.
You could put a lot of Guerlains on this list. Vetiver, Heritage, Habit Rouge, Homme EDP.. Good list, I have a lot of these or fragrances that are adjacent to ones listed i.e. I have YSL's Jazz which often gets compared to Pasha EDT and Safari. I'd also put Polo Green up there, I know it's one of those classic "grandpa" fragrances, but I'm telling you, layer it with Iso E Super and it's amazing. It helps to round out the rough edges and makes it so much more wearable.
What a great list! I have (and love) both the Guerlains you mentioned, as well as Yatagan. Other frags that might go on such a list that I'd recommend (with their dates of origin): Dunhill for Men (1934), Guerlain's Jicky (1889!...now marketed to women but a totally unisex fougere), Knize Ten (1925), and Caron's Third Man (1985).
Nice topic, Justin! I will have to try Yatagan again. Bought the bottle years ago and it has sat in the back of my collection, collecting dust, but this nose may finally have matured enough to appreciate it. Grey Flannel also falls in this category.
@@stayfreshproductions Grey Flannel literally smells like grey flannel and it’s dirt cheap. Many have recognized it as creative and brilliant perfumery, perhaps ahead of its time. But I never really wanted to smell like wool flannel, so even though I was given a bottle when I was much younger, I never appreciated the accomplishment for what it was.
Xerjoff Casamorati 1888 and Mancera Saharian Wind... both have great qualities... well blended... interesting note composition... but I'm continuing to struggle with wearing them because of their "old man" profile
I was thinking Green Irish Tweed might be on here but it’s so timeless that despite it being nearly 40 years old it doesn’t even have to be on a video about dated scents! So good! I love my Eau sauvage parfum 2017. Someone said it smellls like a designer beach hut man and I kind of agree! I have not smelled the original EDT. Do you really think the EDT from the 60s is less dated? Love seeing Guerlain get the shout outs too, great video, Justin. Would like to see your take on Bon Monsieur.
I like the concept but yes this will be difficult for most men nowadays to try. I do own Sung Homme and agree its a soapy fragrance like Irish Spring. With that i think im good already for having tried a challenging list as gentlemanly has that CLASSY BUT OLD vibe to it. However, i think im willing to try either Heritage coz its the later released Guerlain or Pasha coz i own the Parfum so im open to try the OG.
Whenever I watch a review of men's fragrances and the "smells dated" comes up I'm immediately interested in that fragrance. Why? Because it probably means it smells really good. It's just a scent profile thing. New fragrances are sweeter and not to my personal taste. I own several of the fragrances in this vid and to my "dated" nose they are all fantastic.
A businessman, on an airplane, to go do business 😅🤣😂🤣😅🤣😂!!! One of many!!!! You're Killin me today!! Nothing but love for ya! Keep doin it. BTW I wore the TF Beau de jour today (button up with Chinos, just in case one needs to know) and my brother was all over me!!!! Eeeeekkkk!!! He was loving that OG vibe!! Great scent whether they tell you or not. Do you boo boo!!
With such an intro and so much trolling (and rightly needed) the community, I fully expected Sauvage to be on the list. And by extension (and the law of trolling) Eau Sauvage will do instead. I'm sure I've heard about Sung Homme before, same for Yatagan. But I don't see either anywhere around, sadly. Maybe I will get to sample them sometime. Pasha is still on my to-do list. Same goes for Héritage and Habit Rouge.
Great list. Another classic which a lot of men today are scared to wear/try is the original Aramis: leather, moss, aldehydes, dry woods and some delicate florals. It’s bold but I think you’d like it, Justin!
I'm 52 now, I was using a bottle of R Lauren Safari when I was 26-7, liked that Man's smell then and I'm sure I would like it again, have to buy it to remind my younger times again 😄 Thanks for very well presented videos 👍👍 Best wishes.
Safari My very first what I thought was an expensive fragrance I have ever bought (I was 17 when I bought it) absolutely loved it. Getting a new bottle
HAH, my oldest bottle is a 1994/95 bottle of Safari (I’ve been waiting for someone to put it in a video). My wife bought it for me shortly after we were married and it was my only fragrance for 20 years or more. There’s only a fraction left, so I never spray it now, but it’s a great “old school” manly scent!
I went through a bottle of the splash version of Safari after buying it duty free back in 1999, although I seem to remember it being strong despite what people say. You're right about the others though, I may be over 40 but I'm in no rush to smell like an old person.
Hey Justin. Another Cartier. And a nice one too. The Habit Rouge in the EDT is amazing. I also wear the Leau version. Both get a lot of wear all year round. Thanks for the video.
I love Cartier Pasha, Gentleman & Gentleman Only and I used to wear Safari in the early 90's just out of college and started in my first job. Yeah I'm that old 😬
If you appreciate "old school" fragrances Afnan His Highness Green is a MUST BUY!! Classy...modern...MASCULINE. Plus you're not gonna smell like 97% of the guys out there = bonus. For reference....I guess this is like Creed's Royal Oud with an added leather component. To my nose, very similar to Tom Ford Anthracite but not as earthy, a bit more green and more wearable. Definitely a man's man fragrance!
I'm nearing 40 and I think I would enjoy pasha Cartier now versus the 19yr old me I first tried it... since then my taste in fragrances has definitely changed.... still don't like leather notes tho🤷🏾
I love videos about vintages! Once you learn to appreciate them, there is no way back. From the video, I'd choose Eau Sauvage, soooo nice. And coming from Spain, let me recommend you one. Loewe pour Homme. I'm sure you'll like it!
LOL. Love Sung, I went through a whole btl after seeing it on one of your videos. It is over priced here. Pasha is great, but the base creaminess was a bit of a turn off for me. I did use it in the late 1990. Safari, is nice, I might wear it again. Eau Sauvage original was ok, but not for me, there was something in it that I didn't appreciate. Have to check the reformulated one. Not familiar with Heritage, must try it. Love Habit Rouge, would have used it if it wasn't that creamy. The carnations in it is beautiful. Beau De Jour is gorgeous but a bit tricky to wear because of the dated vibe. Not familiar with jet set but seems interesting. Gentleman 1974 is amazing, one of my favorites from the house, and yes it was much stronger. I have been wearing it since the mid 1990s and what you have now is toned down a bit. For one thing it was more animalic and sweeter, I still love it, just do NOT wear it in the heat. I don't remember Yatagan. I did like the original Caron pour homme.
Hello Justin, can I ask you for a favor? I will attend my colleague wedding this coming Sunday night. Could you suggest me a fragrance for the night event in an air-conditioned room? I’m kinda go back and forth between Amouage Boundless, PDM Carlisle, and Roja Apex. I don’t want to play it safe and would prefer a head turner one. Anything out of this list is welcome. Thanks in advance!
Hey there, First and foremost I would suggest you wear a fragrance that you love. Assuming that you love all three of those equally, I would personally wear Boundless or Apex, it depends on how I’m feeling.
I'm not justin but I would suggest following his advice of wearing what you love/what will put you in a great mood and mindset. But do consider that you said it is a colleague's wedding - which means you shouldnt wear something too head turning. It's their day to shine
Hello Justin, how are you? I'm digging the video and list. Thank you for that great information. I'm a Cartier Fragrances Man thanks to you. Stay safe brother and hi to Grace.
I love the old Givenchy Gentleman edt and Eau Sauvage edt. My go-to scents for decades. The Guerlains are wonderful too. As is Pasha. I really must be stuck in a stereotype of what you call "old man". I'm not nearly as old as Joe Biden or Donald Trump, being only 67. But I find that many new releases don't excite me the way my old favourites do. Tom Ford seems seriously over-hyped to me. I haven't tried Beau du Jour, but will on your recommendation. And the Caron, if I ever come across it. It's not a brand one sees very often. I also like Carven, and their fragrances seem to be like hens' teeth: especially Vetiver Dry. Thank you for recognising that not all men want to smell like bubble gum!
I can't even imagine an even stronger version of Zino O.O' but I love the fact that you know about Zino. I used to love the EDT. I had the aftershave and it was awful (maybe it went sour). The EDT was something to needed to dress up for but I was in my early 20's and didn't have any fashion sense. I call it a cougar cologne because a lot of the older women find it very sexy 😂 so I can't imagine a stronger Tom Ford version and I don't want or need a sugar momma 😂
@@stayfreshproductions glad to hear! I used to hold Zino in my palm after a shower and contemplate my evening plans accordingly. I never was and still am not a beast mode frangrance wearer. That reminds me that I need to smell the modern Kouros too since it's reformulation. It's probably much nicer than when I first tried it in 2019. Back then I wore fragrances to appear attractive but I never dressed up but now I dress up. My income in Cambodia is a bit low and authentic perfume is expensive and only a few brands are distributed here. I'm hoping I'll have saved enough to buy my signature scent, Issey Miyake pour homme. A 125ml bottle at the mall here is as high as $118 with a discount. Yikes! I found Santino by Yves de Sistelle, a small cheap perfume house, and it's a nice amber fragrance with a pineapple in the opening. That was $35. Unfortunately for me, amber based fragrances make me nose blind. I love Issey because it's fresh and smells like I own a yacht.
Wonderful review , thank you I wonder if you ever tried Burl by Sulka for men ! if not , I encourage you to do , its amazing , i think its discontinued though , it might be hard to find
@@mustanggt5713 40 is not old! It's just that spending so much time with teenagers makes me feel old. You know, when I start so many sentences with "when I was your age - that was in the last millennia..." 😂
Reasonable list. Azzaro Pour Homme should've gotten a mention perhaps. Re Heritage. A little bit old guy? A little bit old guy? 😄 Tell them the truf! Its just a few years less dated than Habit Rouge. Early-mid 70s instead of mid 60s. Long, long before our time and precious few watching this. I can't understand the love it gets in the frag community. Its dimensional and seemingly well constructed but did not transcend its time and is hard to like. Even for fougere lovers. (Same for Guerlain's vetiver.) Eau Sauvage EDP is an older bro to TF Beau De Jour. Will have to disagree with the 'modern' tag. The EDT is dated but as you said much closer to timeless. I direct guys seeking modern lavender to the absolute genius of Amouage Sunshine Man. Not a fougere but reminiscent of something like it with dominant lavender, immortel and boozey orange brandy. Its not a formal scent but playful, utterly artistic, creative and smart. I wish a frag company would try to riff off of it and make something more gentlemanly/elegant. I love fougeres but could not get into most on this list TBH though I tried hard. Haven't smelled Pasha EDT in a long time but bought it for my little bro when we were real young. Its on my list from your recommendations of it. Every 'be the man' joke in this video was laugh out loud comedic hilarity. Also the Dr. Seuessin 👍
Nice ones ! But imo, one can wear any perfume one likes..they discovered a new market in making perfumes for men, so more money to gain. Wear what you want and like, perfume has no gender or age. Thanks Justin
Some of these fragrances are definitely too dated for me. One of my current loves in this list is BDJ by Tom Ford. That lavender is divine. My wife still says I smell like an old man, but that's cool.
Someone once said I always smell nice but now I smell like I'm on to my third wife. Yes, these classic real man scents don't always smells nice but it's attractive with how you wear it. This is a mystery to my wife and she love it.Spray it wear it and let the magic happens
@@Harrock there are only 10 spots, and I left off at least a couple hundred other fragrances that should have been here. Antaeus, Fahrenheit, Giorgio For Men, Drakkar, etc.
Please do a Vintage Video with Kouros,Lapidus pour Homme , Drakkar Noir and Antaeus
Beau du jour is my ride or die. I wear it often when in a suit and tie it just works. You don’t wear a bathing suit to a wedding and you don’t wear a suit to the shore. Beau du jour is an amazing formal scent.
I would add Chanel Egoiste to this list (the original one, not the Platinum).
That intro was friggin' excellent! Damn near choked on my coffee! 🤣 You have great taste, man! I'm 42 and I'm a huge fan of old school "manly" fragrances. Growing up, my dad wore Aramis and Paco Rabanne PH and Azzaro PH and the OG Polo and Lomani PH... He's the reason why Fougere (my favorite style) and Chypre fragrances have always been a staple in my collection and will always be in my collection.
Azzaro Pour Homme 🖖
Thank you Sean! 😆
Heritage is underrated among the Guerlain classics for men but by far my favorite
Nice topic…I love that you described Givenchy Gentleman 1974 as “authoritative”… Perfect description for any old school juice with some funk.
Your content is helpful as well as unique. No one seems to go in the direction you have. Good choice. Stand out
Thank you Kevin 🙏🏾
Eau Sauvage Parfum and Habit Rouge are 2 of my favourite Spring/Summer scents in my collection. I would also add LIDG and Caron 3rd Man to this list. Both are classic more grown up scents.
That Halston Z-14 and the I-12 were my starter fragrances back in the day
You need to get into Azzaro Pour Homme... Try vintage versions, for me it's the best fougère/barbershop grown men fragrance.
I don't like to remember, the past is gone, it's just here and now, give me new things, but on the other hand I really appreciate vintage fragrances, not for the memories but for what they tell about the time they were made.

Safari is my number 1 fragrance of all time. I have a Cosmair bottle. I also have a tiny bit left from the early 1990's

Best wishes.
Thanks for sharing!!
Safari My very first what I thought was an expensive fragrance I have ever bought (I was 17 when I bought it) absolutely loved it. Getting a new bottle
Insense is one of those gorgeous and all too often overlooked fragrances.
I keep hearing about it!
HAH, my oldest bottle is a 1994/95 bottle of Safari (I’ve been waiting for someone to put it in a video). My wife bought it for me shortly after we were married and it was my only fragrance for 20 years or more.
There’s only a fraction left, so I never spray it now, but it’s a great “old school” manly scent!
I went through a bottle of the splash version of Safari after buying it duty free back in 1999, although I seem to remember it being strong despite what people say. You're right about the others though, I may be over 40 but I'm in no rush to smell like an old person.
Beau de jour is the bomb. Prob my most favorite in my collection and is the most complimented cologne I get from the ladies!
Hey Justin. Another Cartier. And a nice one too. The Habit Rouge in the EDT is amazing. I also wear the Leau version. Both get a lot of wear all year round. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for sharing!
I love Cartier Pasha, Gentleman & Gentleman Only and I used to wear Safari in the early 90's just out of college and started in my first job. Yeah I'm that old 😬
LOL Love the intro brother! Cracking up here man. Great video as always brother...Pure Comedy 🤣🤣
And I agree that with certain outfits a certain scent should be worn with it
Appreciate the ASMR in the first minute, as well as the wonderful thumbnail :)
If you appreciate "old school" fragrances Afnan His Highness Green is a MUST BUY!! Classy...modern...MASCULINE. Plus you're not gonna smell like 97% of the guys out there = bonus.
For reference....I guess this is like Creed's Royal Oud with an added leather component. To my nose, very similar to Tom Ford Anthracite but not as earthy, a bit more green and more wearable.
Definitely a man's man fragrance!
Going to peep this one.
I'm nearing 40 and I think I would enjoy pasha Cartier now versus the 19yr old me I first tried it... since then my taste in fragrances has definitely changed.... still don't like leather notes tho🤷🏾
I love videos about vintages! Once you learn to appreciate them, there is no way back. From the video, I'd choose Eau Sauvage, soooo nice. And coming from Spain, let me recommend you one. Loewe pour Homme. I'm sure you'll like it!
Thanks for sharing!!
LOL. Love Sung, I went through a whole btl after seeing it on one of your videos. It is over priced here. Pasha is great, but the base creaminess was a bit of a turn off for me. I did use it in the late 1990. Safari, is nice, I might wear it again. Eau Sauvage original was ok, but not for me, there was something in it that I didn't appreciate. Have to check the reformulated one. Not familiar with Heritage, must try it. Love Habit Rouge, would have used it if it wasn't that creamy. The carnations in it is beautiful. Beau De Jour is gorgeous but a bit tricky to wear because of the dated vibe. Not familiar with jet set but seems interesting. Gentleman 1974 is amazing, one of my favorites from the house, and yes it was much stronger. I have been wearing it since the mid 1990s and what you have now is toned down a bit. For one thing it was more animalic and sweeter, I still love it, just do NOT wear it in the heat. I don't remember Yatagan. I did like the original Caron pour homme.
All of your picks are beautiful but my love goes 100% to Habit Rouge EDT/EDP - masterpieces.
Solid roundup here Justin! Thank you!
Thank you!
J loves your content Black man, your the only reviewer talking about Safari TY been sporting it since the late 80's peace
Thank you Gregory
For me the best manly MAN fragrance is Memo Iberian leather. This fragrance is so charismatic my sister hate it so much but I love it.
Hello Justin, can I ask you for a favor? I will attend my colleague wedding this coming Sunday night. Could you suggest me a fragrance for the night event in an air-conditioned room?
I’m kinda go back and forth between Amouage Boundless, PDM Carlisle, and Roja Apex. I don’t want to play it safe and would prefer a head turner one.
Anything out of this list is welcome. Thanks in advance!
Hey there,
First and foremost I would suggest you wear a fragrance that you love. Assuming that you love all three of those equally, I would personally wear Boundless or Apex, it depends on how I’m feeling.
I'm not justin but I would suggest following his advice of wearing what you love/what will put you in a great mood and mindset.
But do consider that you said it is a colleague's wedding - which means you shouldnt wear something too head turning. It's their day to shine
Unrelated: Can you PLEASE do a video reviewing Maison Alhambra's Ethnic Oud?
Givenchy gentleman original and Caron Yatagan what an amazing perfumes.. For Real Man and timeless.. Thanks
Hello Justin, how are you? I'm digging the video and list. Thank you for that great information. I'm a Cartier Fragrances Man thanks to you. Stay safe brother and hi to Grace.
Hello Justin!
What do you think about L'instant de Guerlain pour Homme EDP?
It's my favorite perfume, so i would love to know your opinion about it.
I need to revisit it, it’s been years.
I'm going to make it a point to try these fragrances, if I can get my hands on them 👌
Great content Justin!!! As I sit here floating with beau du jour on. Lol
Perfect!
I'm a fan of the oldies... but one I cannot do, is Obsession by CK..Smells nice on a woman... gave it to my wife at the time.
I love the old Givenchy Gentleman edt and Eau Sauvage edt. My go-to scents for decades. The Guerlains are wonderful too. As is Pasha. I really must be stuck in a stereotype of what you call "old man". I'm not nearly as old as Joe Biden or Donald Trump, being only 67. But I find that many new releases don't excite me the way my old favourites do. Tom Ford seems seriously over-hyped to me. I haven't tried Beau du Jour, but will on your recommendation. And the Caron, if I ever come across it. It's not a brand one sees very often. I also like Carven, and their fragrances seem to be like hens' teeth: especially Vetiver Dry.
Thank you for recognising that not all men want to smell like bubble gum!
Thank you Eddie!
I can't even imagine an even stronger version of Zino O.O' but I love the fact that you know about Zino. I used to love the EDT. I had the aftershave and it was awful (maybe it went sour). The EDT was something to needed to dress up for but I was in my early 20's and didn't have any fashion sense. I call it a cougar cologne because a lot of the older women find it very sexy 😂 so I can't imagine a stronger Tom Ford version and I don't want or need a sugar momma 😂
Current formulations of Zino are quite light, so I’m comparing the TF to that! But it’s still plenty strong.
@@stayfreshproductions glad to hear! I used to hold Zino in my palm after a shower and contemplate my evening plans accordingly. I never was and still am not a beast mode frangrance wearer. That reminds me that I need to smell the modern Kouros too since it's reformulation. It's probably much nicer than when I first tried it in 2019. Back then I wore fragrances to appear attractive but I never dressed up but now I dress up. My income in Cambodia is a bit low and authentic perfume is expensive and only a few brands are distributed here. I'm hoping I'll have saved enough to buy my signature scent, Issey Miyake pour homme. A 125ml bottle at the mall here is as high as $118 with a discount. Yikes! I found Santino by Yves de Sistelle, a small cheap perfume house, and it's a nice amber fragrance with a pineapple in the opening. That was $35. Unfortunately for me, amber based fragrances make me nose blind. I love Issey because it's fresh and smells like I own a yacht.
Wonderful review , thank you
I wonder if you ever tried Burl by Sulka for men ! if not , I encourage you to do , its amazing , i think its discontinued though , it might be hard to find
I'll check it out!
Listed was blended like a smoothie 🔥
You do a great job really!!!
Thank you so much!
Bro. Your a funny guy. Don’t have any of the fragrances you mention. I do pasha de Cartier noir edition. Both the edt and the edp.
Thank you Jonathan.
Just ordered Safari….Eau Sauvage is next👍🏻
Thoughts on Heritage EDT Vs EDP and Roja Danger PH Vs PC?
I haven’t tried Heritage EDP yet!
@@stayfreshproductions The word on the street is that it actually isn't as good. 😄
Hello Justin, love what U do brother keep up the good work I believe I can help you with your channel for e.g, do a selection for, "Sigma" Males.
I don't mind wearing "old man" scents, because I'm 40 years old and a youthworker, so I feel like an old man all the time :D
😆
40 is not old . Please tell me 40 is young because I’m the same age 😫😂
@@mustanggt5713 age is but a number. It’s all about how you feel.
@@stayfreshproductions True that ! I feel I’m 28😎
@@mustanggt5713 40 is not old! It's just that spending so much time with teenagers makes me feel old. You know, when I start so many sentences with "when I was your age - that was in the last millennia..." 😂
Reasonable list.
Azzaro Pour Homme should've gotten a mention perhaps.
Re Heritage. A little bit old guy? A little bit old guy? 😄 Tell them the truf! Its just a few years less dated than Habit Rouge. Early-mid 70s instead of mid 60s. Long, long before our time and precious few watching this. I can't understand the love it gets in the frag community. Its dimensional and seemingly well constructed but did not transcend its time and is hard to like. Even for fougere lovers. (Same for Guerlain's vetiver.)
Eau Sauvage EDP is an older bro to TF Beau De Jour. Will have to disagree with the 'modern' tag. The EDT is dated but as you said much closer to timeless. I direct guys seeking modern lavender to the absolute genius of Amouage Sunshine Man. Not a fougere but reminiscent of something like it with dominant lavender, immortel and boozey orange brandy. Its not a formal scent but playful, utterly artistic, creative and smart. I wish a frag company would try to riff off of it and make something more gentlemanly/elegant.
I love fougeres but could not get into most on this list TBH though I tried hard. Haven't smelled Pasha EDT in a long time but bought it for my little bro when we were real young. Its on my list from your recommendations of it.
Every 'be the man' joke in this video was laugh out loud comedic hilarity.
Also the Dr. Seuessin 👍
No worries if you’re not a fan of these! Thanks for watching.
Love the old guy comparison! 😅
Real men fragrances: Fahrenheit perfume, Kouros, Nikos sculpture 2022, Tom Ford TV, OL, Ganymede, Bentley intense, Drakkar noir, Guerlain Vetiver.
Sculpture in the blue bottle?
@@dickfitzwelliner2807 yes
@Alithia451 hmmm I've had my eye on it for a bit. Kinda hard to justify the price when the original sculpture is $13. Hows it like? I LOVE the orginal
@Brandon Angle don't know the original. fresh citrusy with that oldschool stinky note.
@@Alithia451 ah ok
My 'old man' scent: Givenchy Xeryus: woody aromatic spicy masterpiece
Sung Homme: beast soapy masterpiece
Guerlain Heritage: spicy patchouli sandalwood
TF Beau de Jour: the best lavender fragrance
Givenchy EDT: patchouli woody bomb
Penhaligon’s Sartorial, Drakkar Nior, Brut, Eight & Bob Original, Old Spice Original.
Dior Dune Pour Homme 👍
Habit rouge eau is more palatable...
Safari forever!!!!!
Much Success 🙌 God bless ❤️🙏
Man, I wore heritage from 99 to 08. I only had the edt. It was the best three season fragrance. You meant business at work and business in streets.
I hardly ever wear fragrances that are targeted toward men.
I predominantly wear niche florals. Aside from that it’s a gourmand or actual oud.
Nice ones ! But imo, one can wear any perfume one likes..they discovered a new market in making perfumes for men, so more money to gain. Wear what you want and like, perfume has no gender or age. Thanks Justin
Of course Dirk! I agree. The entire intro was a complete joke, I hope that was made clear! 😆
Some of these fragrances are definitely too dated for me. One of my current loves in this list is BDJ by Tom Ford. That lavender is divine. My wife still says I smell like an old man, but that's cool.
3:44 WTF 😂😂😂😂😂
Someone once said I always smell nice but now I smell like I'm on to my third wife. Yes, these classic real man scents don't always smells nice but it's attractive with how you wear it. This is a mystery to my wife and she love it.Spray it wear it and let the magic happens
Haha. Interesting! 😆
I agree, definitely magical.
ANTAEUS and BEL-AMI gang, where you aaat?
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ehem, the ones i know: pino, tabac, old spice, brut and drakkar noir 🤔im 46 yo so... 😂
😁
Chanel platinum egoist and Hermes terre de Hermes is most alpha fragrances
Wow dude you are freaking hilarious. That's what I'm talking about.
Thanks 😆
The Biden image caught me off guard 😂😂
Roja Goodmen rvw
Shoulda titled the video "cougar-bait" fragrances.
Where was Kouros ?
I don’t like Kouros. Lol
@@stayfreshproductions But its a Masterpiece ... Fresh ,Sharb , Animalic, Dirty, Kinda Floral and Unisex
@@stayfreshproductions if a title says "Most men wont Try These Fragrances.." out of All Fragrances i would expect Kouros in it
@@Harrock there are only 10 spots, and I left off at least a couple hundred other fragrances that should have been here. Antaeus, Fahrenheit, Giorgio For Men, Drakkar, etc.
I have 4 of them. Guess I'm half a man 😃😃
