The best fragrances based on the number of times Courtney smelled them in the video : 1. Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce : 9 times 2. Polo Red : 5 times 3-4. YSL La Nuit De L'homme & CH Prive : 3 times 5-6. Dolce & Gabbana The One (EDP) & Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male : 2 times 7. Prada Luna Rossa Black : 1 time 8. Maison Margiela Jazz Club : 0 time She certainly smelled them more off-screen ^^
@@SirRobbins Sadly, that happens so often and ruins the wearing experience for a lot of guys trying to rock an older fragrance. Several of my favorites are oldies... like I *LOVE* CK Obsession for men (vintage formula is best, but even modern formula rocks). That is seriously an old fragrance, but it just smells so good! I just wear what I want to, because in the end, I wear it for me. If you want to attract the girls, and not necessarily the COUGARS (LOL!!), then wear something more modern. Otherwise, wear what you want.
Calvin Klein Obsession. Been wearing it longer than you’ve been alive. They’re still making it because it’s just so good. Women love it, and it stays with me all day. Not all fragrances stay with me all day but boy this one does
Courtney, I have three fragrances that are more budget friendly (not cheep but over looked) and I have never had any complaints. These three each last 4-6 hours on skin, 8-10 hours on cloths, and takes 10-20 minutes for the true scent to set in after application. 1) Couch Blue: By far the most effective of the three as well as the softest and near impossible to over-spay. It has that Je Ne Sais Quoi quality. 2) CK Shock: Definitely a warm weather fragrance best suited for walking down the street, morning coffee, and happy hour. 3) American Crew Classic: The one I use when I'm my most sigma male mood, that classic Don Draper smell that isn't trying to impress anyone. It's everything Old Spice advertises itself to be but never lives up to, I use this after a really long day at work and I need a little pick me up before going out and being social. I would love to hear you opinion on these and thank you for all your videos.
@@jacktaylor9290 The house in this context can talk and is the one looking for buyers. The analogy makes more convinced that i should be lisening to dating advice from women rather than men. (mostly)
I'm pretty clueless when it comes to style, fashion, and fragrance, so these videos are a godsend. Getting not only an expert's opinion, but a woman's perspective on these things is immensely helpful. Thank you so much, Courtney!
I bought Prada Luna Rosa Black because of this video and I get so many compliments and comments on it. Multiple different women have said I smell intoxicating.
I wear La Nuit de L'Homme as my day/office fragrance and CH Men Prive as my date night fragrance. Both are excellent and compliment getters even though CH Men Prive is relatively unknown in my region...
Courtney, you and Teddy have absolutely *ruined* me by getting me into fragrances! 😂 Before you two, I had one that I would wear twice a year at most. Now I have 13 and I have to think about what I'm going to wear every day. Not gonna lie, it's fun. 😅 Thanks for helping me level up in a bunch of ways!
From your fragrance videos, I have used Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male (for everyday Spring and Summer or just when it is warm out for Pittsburgh), Viktor and Rolf Spicebomb (for everyday Fall or Winter or when it is cold), and Baccarat Rouge 540 (for special occasions like big dance events or anywhere that I would really like to attract a nice girl). I have received compliments on all of these scents from women that I have met. I can't thank you enough for the recommendations, Courtney! I am hoping one of these will be the lure of that Miss Right some day soon.
I’ve been wearing YSL La Nuit Del Homme a lot lately, the fall and winter climate is usually the best time to wear this fragrance. The dry down is fantastic. This past summer I wore JPG Le Male a lot, so light and inoffensive, excellent fragrance 😊
Some of those were affordable also, while you were recommending them I checked on the prices from my Walmart app , some are even on sale , one thing with those bottles , keep them away from light and heat for longer potency
I get great results with Bath and body Works fragrance black tie. They only release it around Christmas time so I have to buy extra but I get the best response with this fragrance.
The one that I have which seems to get me the most compliments including from my gf, is Mancera Red Tobacco. This one is smoky and sweet as well to help tone down the smokiness a bit, and my God is it great. It is pretty strong so you'll have to tone down the number of sprays a bit, but it lasts at least 16 hours or so. 😄 Edit: Hey, Courtney. Would you consider doing a video on some of the most underrated mens fragrances for those of us who want to smell different from the crowd?
red tobacco is dangerous...in both good and bad ways. It's gonna get a lot of compliments, but it's also going to get so many people that hate it and think it's disgusting. I'd actually recommend avoiding Oud/tobacco types of vanilla scents and instead go with a much nicer and simpler vanilla scent. There's plenty of lovely vanilla scents out there if you really want something with tobacco there's always Jazz club that's basically in this list anyway so no need to add red tobacco if you got jazz club in this list
Personally I like it the red tobacco as it has shisha flavor scent but the opening is very harsh and can be headache inducing to others and not many would appreciate it however it’s the dry down that’s great! I suggest spray it atleast 30 mins in advance if you’re meeting someone by the time it hits the dry down and limit your sprays
Happy Sunday, Courtney! Keep posting more videos of men cologne since I do enjoy this topic so I can smell good for myself when I buy cologne. The Jean Paul Gaultier I have had and it's a good cologne and I would buy again in the future and I also have had the Abercrombie and Fitch cologne and I would buy again in the future. The colognes that I have are: 1. Lacoste Essential 2. Chaumet Homme 3. Perry Ellie 360° Black 4. Pure Fuel Pour Homme 5. Bed Bath and Beyond Clear Horizon 6. Jaguar Classic Black 7. Cool Ocean 8.

Courtney, I’m a fragrance enthusiast. Fierce was my go to from my high school and college years. I got many compliments from women. D&G the one smells amazing.
I've never worn cologne in my life but I wear Old Spice deodorant. Women must be at least okay with Old Spice because the stuff's still selling. I like it because it evokes the first couple years I shopped for Christmas gifts for my family as a boy. I bought Old Spice and Drakkar Noir cologne for my father, who has never worn cologne is his life, either, I don't believe. The bottles sat in the upstairs hall closet my entire childhood; Dad never wore them but I would occasionally open the bottles and smell them. They remained there until my sister cleaned out the house after my mother died.
Some reccomendations from me coming in here too at a decent price. Gucci - Guilty for men Paco Rabbane - Invictus or One Million Dior - Sauvage (everyone im sure has had this at some point) Carolina Hererra - 212 for Men Diesel - BAD or Only the Brave (2 great aftershaves and both are relatively cheap ciompared to other frangrances)
I'm a big fan of Sedar/Sandalwood with a hint of tobacco smelling scents. When me and my ex broke up last year she took all of my cologne and rode of with my bottle Yellowstone Ride. Those little 3oz bottles aren't cheap
This is great... I've been making my own soap (cause I'm a weirdo with too much time on my hands) and now I'm going to try to make something that mimics rossa black (or one of the other fragrances) naturally. Thanks Courtney
I'm not into fragrances. Call me generic, but my go to has always been CK One, mainly because I like the scent and also because my wife likes it on me. I'm more of a citrusy kind of guy and don't like scents that smell too musky. That's just my preference.
I came across a fragrance a few months ago called Ikon 910 EDP. Good price, great smell & not overpowering. I had a woman come up to me when I was out with friends just to tell me how great I smelled. Dior Sauvage EDP gets a lot of compliments too. A budget friendly way to get a collection quickly is to buy a few 10ml sample sized EDPs of your favourite scents from eBay. If it doesn’t come in a spray, get a 10ml atomiser (from eBay too) to decant it into & you can get over a hundred sprays from just one bottle. You can build a small collection for the price of one full sized EDP bottle. It’s a great way to test fragrances also. Just don’t put on too much. A little goes along way.
I don't think these are really necessary to come across as "better" since that's subjective. Just like how I have, as a guy, on rare ocassions smelled these scents which hardly anyone uses where I live, and to my nose, the smells are nauseating even after a few minutes of non-stop inhalation on a crowded bus/train. I mean sure the guy smells nice...so what? Honestly I believe when women smell a new fragrance, what likely runs through their minds is "he can afford it, he has money and that's attractive" without considering the possibility it was just a gift from a friend or relative, in which case, is that a turn off? Surely hope not, since I think most guys find women that are shallow/not worth the squeeze are typically the ones that care more for what a man has than what he is. Fragrance is just a luxury item, not a cure for stupidity for guys that are already morons. Who wants to date a nice-smelling idiot? If frangrances are such a turn on, date and compliment the one who makes it, not the one who wears it
On your recommendation here I recently bought the Maison Margiela's Jazz Club and I must thank you for it. It really is the masculine scent I've been looking for for quite some time. It's very, very nice indeed, very high quality.
Thanks so much for uploading this Courtney! Turns out I’ve actually been needing to see a video like this for a while. It really helps out honestly. As always, keep up the great content!
I would recommend 2 fragrances for men who just want one or 2 fragrances in their lives: Missoni Wave for hot weather Montblanc Individuel for cooler weather The reason I recommend these 2 is that they have a muted sweetness, they are fresh, they are long-lasting, they go very well dressed-up as well as dressed down and they are budget friendly if you shop from discounters
@@natantitelbaum6061 no.. Individuel has a fresh-sweet raspberry opening with some green touches and dries down to a fresh vanilla with a creamy sandalwood, while Wave is a creamy white floral with mute sweetness and a touch of citrus
My most complimented fragrance by ladies and men is Armaf club de nuit intense limited edition edp. Though all my fragrances are labeled as "compliment beasts " nothing gets close to CDNI! I always get stopped and asked by strangers what I'm wearing, and the compliments are unhinged. "You smell amazing! What is that?" Is the sort of reaction I get from the ladies (whom are complete strangers). My personal favorites though are Silver mountain water from Creed. My wife calls it "sex in a bottle ". And D&G the one edp, which My wife also adores because I was wearing it on the first time we met in person.

Being newly single again after 25 years I decided to start wearing cologne again. Christmas 2021 I bought a cologne sampler 'kit' from Macy's that had 20 samples in it. The only one I recognize that you showed was the Polo Red but I didn't memorize them. I divided them into groups of 5. Of the first 5, one is the standout winner in the drawing positive attention category. "Vince Camuto-Terra Extreme". I wouldn't have picked it as my favorite but it seems to be conducive to positive attention from women (the only reason I would wear cologne), in my target age group, 50+. The last time I wore it a woman 'started' a conversation with me in grocery store. Can't remember the last time that happened. Funny thing is, none of them said, 'oh, what is the name of your cologne'. But it seems to generate the grinny, nervous shuffly, giggly, wide open glassy eyed look from them I remember from days gone by. I give Yves Saint Laurent honorable mention, I like that one also, but the Terra the easy winner in results. Remember guys, a little goes a long way..."discovered, not announced"
I have 10 fragrances I wear. My wife and I disagree on which in my collection is #1 (she says Tom Ford Ombre Leather, I say Layton), but we agree on #2, that being D&G The One EDP. It's one of four fragrances I label as forever fragrances for me. I own and enjoy La Nuit de L'homme as well, but also have (and prefer) La Nuit de L'homme Bleu Electrique.
1. Spicebomb Extreme (ULTIMATE fall/winter fragrance) 2. Paco Robanne 1 Million (affordable, sweet club fragrance) 3. Aqua Di Gio Profumo (excellent for spring/summer) 4. Bleu De Chanel (pricy but most versatile) 5. Versace Dylan Blue (gateway fragrance) Dylan Blue should be the fragrance you start off with if you want to get into fragrances but don't wanna pay a lot. It's relatively cheap and is as versatile as Bleu de Chanel. Gets plenty of compliments and lasts all day/night. I would recommend D&G The One as well but it doesn't last long enough. Brilliant scent but after only a couple hours is barely even a skin scent. 😔
There is no woman appealing fragances ranking without the Acqua Di Gio line and all its flankers! I own the Profumo and Profondo and both of them are a compliment magnet, absolutely everyone love them
Xeryus Rouge by Givenchy is my #1 complemented fragrance. When women smell it on me, they always say I smell so good. It is hard to find, I'm not sure if they still make it. Released in 1995, Xeryus Rouge for Men is a sharp, oriental, woody fragrance. It has top notes of bergamot, fougere and lemon, middle notes of amber, melon and orange and base notes of kumquat, pimento and cedar.
YESS, I love these videos, need more things like these, not just fragrances. books that women want you to read, activities that women love you do, etc etc. Need all these info
Yea yea yea... ice cream flavour that women want you to have, Food and edibles that women want you to have... The mobile phone that women want you to have... what car do women want you to drive....
My go to is Spicebomb Extreme. I really want Tom Ford Noir Extreme.. I also wear the original Spicebomb, Azzaro The Most Wanted, Bath And Body Works Coffee And Whiskey, also Cremo Spice And Black Vanilla.
I'm definitely gonna take a note as I need to update my perfume collection. Just to update CH Prive men has been discontinued and highly unlikely to be found anywhere.
Last time I went fragrance shopping at TJ Max all the men's scents were garbage, but I found one female perfume that I liked, Stardust Kiss, so I got it. I've gotten MANY compliments from women on it, and even a few from straight men.
I definitely dig the Prada Black, great blind buy if you don't have it, something you'll definitely be glad to have, also have the Polo Red that I havent touched in years but maybe worth a shot to try out again...Aqua Di Gio, Bleu De Chanel, and Chanel Homme Sport should be on there as well...
I had AnF’s “Fierce” and I thought it smelled great. My gf got on me and told me that that is just for high schoolers and that a real man should have an adult fragrance. As you can already tell, she broke up with me for reasons like that. I tried to tell her that just because she feels that way it doesn’t mean that every woman thinks that “Fierce” is childlike. She didn’t care. I don’t get it….
Thank you. I tried Luna Rossa Black last week in frag store. It has sweet notes that I am not a fan of. I also tried Jazz Club and love it. Le Male I like it. Eros edp I am not fan of, but surprisingly many girls love it 😊 The One edp, A&F Fierce and YSL LNDL, I am ok with them. Never tried Polo and CH 😊
The Luna Rossa Black is legit. I bought it based on your recommendation. When I first smelled it in the store I wasn't sure, but bought anyway. Now I love it so much I wear it daily.
My top eight looks different: - Prada Luna Rossa - Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Sun - Bvlgari Man In Black - Givenchy Gentleman E.D.P. - Versace Eros Flame - Y.S.L. Y Le Parfum - Armani Code Parfum - Dior Homme Cologne
Even people who are into fragrances won't fault you for this list. They work for a reason. I would add 2 more: Givenchy Gentleman, both the EDP Boisée and the Reserve Privée flankers, have also gotten me a lot of compliments. My favourite of the 2 is Reserve Privée but only by a hair.
Totally agree with you on those. It was difficult to even find a bottle of Gentlemen Reserve Prive for quite awhile. Once I got it (actually two bottlew - lol) I've really used it a lot. Love the Boozy iris smell.
I wore CH Men Privé in my last date, and you can say I got lucky for a first date. It also lasted till the morning when she told me she loved how I smelled. But again, it's not the fragrance that got the job done, it will always be you being an assertive, considerate man who will win the girl over. Go to the gym brothers. Let's be better everyday. And fragrances will only be a compliment to your personality
Currently I'm using "D'amaris Solea" awesome thing. But I also have several different STR8 and a bottle of La Rive. So far Ive received positive vibes from the ladies.
As an older guy (50+) and I like to wear Versace Dylan Blue. I feel like it is a clean subtle scent. I used to wear Armani Sport as my go to but find Blue more age appropriate. I will need to try some of the ones you recommended.
Probably the cologne I get the most compliments from women is the a D&G I got from the early 2000s. Sadly it only has fumes left in the bottle and it's long gone from the market and will never find anther one line it. My daily now is Tom Ford Tuscan Leather, but I think I like it more than women do as I haven't had much compliments from it.
Nice selection Courtney, there were some I didn't know, I suggest you try the traditional Azzaro. It´s my favorite, classic winter perfume and it´s not very popular. Greetings from Argentina 😊
Yes Yes I used to use Polo years ago. But I've stopped using it you know the last few years. But I guess I should start back using it thank you so much
I recently got into wearing a fragrance. I purchased some Fahrenheit Parfum after doing some research. I like the fact that it's not over powering. Great video I do appreciate getting a woman prospective on colognes.
Totally agree with your list,the CH prive I've never smelled,I'm not sure you can find that anymore etc?but yes all the mentioned frangrances you can't go wrong with,thanks,Tulsa, Oklahoma here.
I kind of feel like polo red is underappreciated. I've worn on dates before and was told it smells really good. It was my first cologne to my collection, and only got it because it was this one girls favorite.
I just have two fragrances I use. Both presents so I havent really considered whether they are "good". Guess I have to look into getting some of these and see if it gets a response
All these recommendations are great! Personally, I use the Santal and Cologne Grand Luxe from Fragonard, they are not very expensive at all and they both smell great. Although I will say if you don't like sandalwood then don't get them and the Grand Luxe does start out kind of strong but give it a little bit and it mellows out nicely.
Abercrombie nd fitch that one is a good one it doesn’t last a lot of the time which is the problem but I remember when I was a kid my dad would wear it and tbh it smells super good and it’s a good price it’s around 70 or 80
Tommy Bahama Maritime; I have never gotten more compliments on cologne than this. I also can work an 8 to 12 hour day and still have the scent of it on me.
Courtney how do I open up a girl emotionally if she seems closed off? Or should I let her come to me? I just can't decide if she is not interested or just too shy. 🤔
Your channel is a goldmine of advice and full of positive energy for both men and women. Fragrance can enhance the man, but it’s how you use it with confidence. Love your videos!!!
gotta be honest, I have no clue about the fragrance you mentioned at 2:40, then again I rarely wear cologne. I do enjoy the smell of the scnet of Leather and Brandy mens lotion from Bath and Body though. Maybe I'll give one a try if I come across it while shopping sometime.
Cold season: Dior Homme EdP, Chanel Antaeus, Guerlain Habit Rouge EdT Warm season: Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza EdC, Bvlgari Aqva Amara (discontinued unfortunately), Terre d'Hermès EdT, Prada L'Homme EdT Most women like to smell Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême on a guy, but i downright hate it.

The best fragrances based on the number of times Courtney smelled them in the video :
1. Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce : 9 times
2. Polo Red : 5 times
3-4. YSL La Nuit De L'homme & CH Prive : 3 times
5-6. Dolce & Gabbana The One (EDP) & Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male : 2 times
7. Prada Luna Rossa Black : 1 time
8. Maison Margiela Jazz Club : 0 time
She certainly smelled them more off-screen ^^
lol
I wore polo red until one of my female friends told me I smelled like her dad lol

I usually take female dating advice for men with a grain of salt, but this is a topic where a woman's perspective is invaluable.
Why wouldn’t you want dating advice from women? Some of the best advice I’ve gotten around dating was from women.

Courtney, I’m a fragrance enthusiast. Fierce was my go to from my high school and college years. I got many compliments from women. D&G the one smells amazing.
Polo Red and Polo Blue are great affordable scents that women love and smells good, but not over whelming.
I find Old Spice and Duke Cannon are great.
Every compliment I've ever gotten is because of Old Spice.
I've never worn cologne in my life but I wear Old Spice deodorant. Women must be at least okay with Old Spice because the stuff's still selling.

A budget friendly way to get a collection quickly is to buy a few 10ml sample sized EDPs of your favourite scents from eBay. If it doesn’t come in a spray, get a 10ml atomiser (from eBay too) to decant it into & you can get over a hundred sprays from just one bottle.
You can build a small collection for the price of one full sized EDP bottle. It’s a great way to test fragrances also. Just don’t put on too much. A little goes along way.
the folks at Macy's told me that Prada Luna Rossa Black was discontinued
Literally bought Prada Luna Rosa Black last week because you suggested it in another video and now I’m married with two kids!
Woohoo!
Courtney is not just improving men with relationship but also on appearance. She makes men better.
@user-hz5xc2jo2k why are you so negative? Be more positive and you might have better luck with women. Hahah
I'm wear the cologne that I like and don't give a F.
I'm not a real man yet.
I don't think these are really necessary to come across as "better" since that's subjective. Just like how I have, as a guy, on rare ocassions smelled these scents which hardly anyone uses where I live, and to my nose, the smells are nauseating even after a few minutes of non-stop inhalation on a crowded bus/train. I mean sure the guy smells nice...so what? Honestly I believe when women smell a new fragrance, what likely runs through their minds is "he can afford it, he has money and that's attractive" without considering the possibility it was just a gift from a friend or relative, in which case, is that a turn off? Surely hope not, since I think most guys find women that are shallow/not worth the squeeze are typically the ones that care more for what a man has than what he is. Fragrance is just a luxury item, not a cure for stupidity for guys that are already morons. Who wants to date a nice-smelling idiot? If frangrances are such a turn on, date and compliment the one who makes it, not the one who wears it
Bet my life you’ve cheated on your boyfriends before 🤣
@@BobRoss-wm3lc So angry aren't you. Think more positive. You need a HUG.
On your recommendation here I recently bought the Maison Margiela's Jazz Club and I must thank you for it. It really is the masculine scent I've been looking for for quite some time. It's very, very nice indeed, very high quality.
Thanks so much for uploading this Courtney! Turns out I’ve actually been needing to see a video like this for a while. It really helps out honestly. As always, keep up the great content!
It’s my pleasure! Thanks for being here!
I would recommend 2 fragrances for men who just want one or 2 fragrances in their lives:
Missoni Wave for hot weather
Montblanc Individuel for cooler weather
The reason I recommend these 2 is that they have a muted sweetness, they are fresh, they are long-lasting, they go very well dressed-up as well as dressed down and they are budget friendly if you shop from discounters
Do they sting the nose like salt does when sniffed?
@@natantitelbaum6061 no.. Individuel has a fresh-sweet raspberry opening with some green touches and dries down to a fresh vanilla with a creamy sandalwood, while Wave is a creamy white floral with mute sweetness and a touch of citrus
My most complimented fragrance by ladies and men is Armaf club de nuit intense limited edition edp. Though all my fragrances are labeled as "compliment beasts " nothing gets close to CDNI! I always get stopped and asked by strangers what I'm wearing, and the compliments are unhinged. "You smell amazing! What is that?" Is the sort of reaction I get from the ladies (whom are complete strangers). My personal favorites though are Silver mountain water from Creed. My wife calls it "sex in a bottle ". And D&G the one edp, which My wife also adores because I was wearing it on the first time we met in person.
I have Intense Man EDT, I think I’m going to get that one too. I hear it’s more like the pineapple smell of Creed Aventus.
On the way.
@@garypierce7380 enjoy
@Courtney Ryan What are your favorite body washes or soaps for men? Water from the shower is not enough to look, feel and smell clean and nice.
I have Sean Paul in blue and black. I’ve never been complimented on it but I know they smell nice and definitely catch my attention.
There ya go.

Luna rossa black is my fav. It’s smells very much like vanilla.
It’s very interesting girls always say the smell with vanilla is the best
I have a lot of fragrances but ended up ordering Polo Red. Went for 125ml and ended up getting an additional 40ml for free, thanks Courtney!
Being newly single again after 25 years I decided to start wearing cologne again. Christmas 2021 I bought a cologne sampler 'kit' from Macy's that had 20 samples in it. The only one I recognize that you showed was the Polo Red but I didn't memorize them. I divided them into groups of 5. Of the first 5, one is the standout winner in the drawing positive attention category. "Vince Camuto-Terra Extreme".
I wouldn't have picked it as my favorite but it seems to be conducive to positive attention from women (the only reason I would wear cologne), in my target age group, 50+. The last time I wore it a woman 'started' a conversation with me in grocery store. Can't remember the last time that happened. Funny thing is, none of them said, 'oh, what is the name of your cologne'. But it seems to generate the grinny, nervous shuffly, giggly, wide open glassy eyed look from them I remember from days gone by. I give Yves Saint Laurent honorable mention, I like that one also, but the Terra the easy winner in results.
Remember guys, a little goes a long way..."discovered, not announced"
Discovered... not announced. I like that.
@@seth4321 I can't take credit. I heard it from Courtney.
@@x-man5056 Ah, I must have missed it in the video
@@seth4321 Not this one.
@@x-man5056 Gotcha
Whew I'm happy my two main fragrances were actually on this list! Polo Red and D&G The One.
Tom Ford F-ing Fabulous and Baccarat Rouge 540 are my go-to right now. Also in 3rd Creed Aventus!
I still use the old Halston Z14, I'm still told it smells amazing on me.
I have 10 fragrances I wear. My wife and I disagree on which in my collection is #1 (she says Tom Ford Ombre Leather, I say Layton), but we agree on #2, that being D&G The One EDP. It's one of four fragrances I label as forever fragrances for me. I own and enjoy La Nuit de L'homme as well, but also have (and prefer) La Nuit de L'homme Bleu Electrique.
1. Spicebomb Extreme (ULTIMATE fall/winter fragrance)
2. Paco Robanne 1 Million (affordable, sweet club fragrance)
3. Aqua Di Gio Profumo (excellent for spring/summer)
4. Bleu De Chanel (pricy but most versatile)
5. Versace Dylan Blue (gateway fragrance)
Dylan Blue should be the fragrance you start off with if you want to get into fragrances but don't wanna pay a lot. It's relatively cheap and is as versatile as Bleu de Chanel. Gets plenty of compliments and lasts all day/night. I would recommend D&G The One as well but it doesn't last long enough. Brilliant scent but after only a couple hours is barely even a skin scent. 😔
There is no woman appealing fragances ranking without the Acqua Di Gio line and all its flankers! I own the Profumo and Profondo and both of them are a compliment magnet, absolutely everyone love them
Xeryus Rouge by Givenchy is my #1 complemented fragrance. When women smell it on me, they always say I smell so good. It is hard to find, I'm not sure if they still make it. Released in 1995, Xeryus Rouge for Men is a sharp, oriental, woody fragrance. It has top notes of bergamot, fougere and lemon, middle notes of amber, melon and orange and base notes of kumquat, pimento and cedar.
go for pdm percival instead of fitch and fierce, totally worth it
I wear jimmy chew man and aome vercace stuff. And women cant get enough.
I’ve always gotten compliments for Burberry Touch, D&G The One and Hermes 24
Thank you for being there to help all of us. You are appreciated Courtney 🙏🏽
YESS, I love these videos, need more things like these, not just fragrances. books that women want you to read, activities that women love you do, etc etc.
Need all these info
Yea yea yea... ice cream flavour that women want you to have,
Food and edibles that women want you to have...
The mobile phone that women want you to have...
what car do women want you to drive....
My partner is hooked on me wearing Mont Blanc Explorer. Ive been wearing ever since got to keep her happy.
My picks: (Dior) Amber Nuit, (Le Labo) Bergamote 22, (Creed) Silver Mountain Water, (Tom Ford) Lost Cherry, (Frederic Malle) Musc Ravageur, (Creed) Virgin Island Water.
My go to is Spicebomb Extreme. I really want Tom Ford Noir Extreme..
I also wear the original Spicebomb, Azzaro The Most Wanted, Bath And Body Works Coffee And Whiskey, also Cremo Spice And Black Vanilla.
7:47 Greatest, pithiest summing up of a fragrance EVER. Well done, Courtney!
I'm definitely gonna take a note as I need to update my perfume collection. Just to update CH Prive men has been discontinued and highly unlikely to be found anywhere.
Last time I went fragrance shopping at TJ Max all the men's scents were garbage, but I found one female perfume that I liked, Stardust Kiss, so I got it. I've gotten MANY compliments from women on it, and even a few from straight men.
Lol!
You would probably like Imaginary Authors unisex colognes. They’re as niche as you can get.
I definitely dig the Prada Black, great blind buy if you don't have it, something you'll definitely be glad to have, also have the Polo Red that I havent touched in years but maybe worth a shot to try out again...Aqua Di Gio, Bleu De Chanel, and Chanel Homme Sport should be on there as well...
Only compliments I've received have been for Club de Nuit Intense Man and PdM Layton Exclusif.
I had AnF’s “Fierce” and I thought it smelled great. My gf got on me and told me that that is just for high schoolers and that a real man should have an adult fragrance. As you can already tell, she broke up with me for reasons like that. I tried to tell her that just because she feels that way it doesn’t mean that every woman thinks that “Fierce” is childlike. She didn’t care.
I don’t get it….
Dude: the right thing happened here. Go get yourself another one with Fierce.
Thank you.
I tried Luna Rossa Black last week in frag store. It has sweet notes that I am not a fan of.
I also tried Jazz Club and love it.
Le Male I like it.
Eros edp I am not fan of, but surprisingly many girls love it 😊
The One edp, A&F Fierce and YSL LNDL, I am ok with them.
Never tried Polo and CH 😊
Should you pick one fragrance and stick with it or switch them day by day, mood by mood?
I have been away for a while and was glad to see you do a video again on men’s fragrances you recommend. Please do more. I really value your opinion.
The Luna Rossa Black is legit. I bought it based on your recommendation. When I first smelled it in the store I wasn't sure, but bought anyway. Now I love it so much I wear it daily.
My top eight looks different:
- Prada Luna Rossa
- Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Sun
- Bvlgari Man In Black
- Givenchy Gentleman E.D.P.
- Versace Eros Flame
- Y.S.L. Y Le Parfum
- Armani Code Parfum
- Dior Homme Cologne
Prada it's my girlfriend's favorite. I wear it everytime we go out ❤️
Even people who are into fragrances won't fault you for this list. They work for a reason.
I would add 2 more: Givenchy Gentleman, both the EDP Boisée and the Reserve Privée flankers, have also gotten me a lot of compliments. My favourite of the 2 is Reserve Privée but only by a hair.
Totally agree with you on those. It was difficult to even find a bottle of Gentlemen Reserve Prive for quite awhile. Once I got it (actually two bottlew - lol) I've really used it a lot. Love the Boozy iris smell.
@Cary Rogers Reserve Privée is top notch stuff, iris is such a pleasant note
Chanel Allure Sport extreme gets me the most compliments,second compliment getter is Armani -Stonger with u intensly
I wore CH Men Privé in my last date, and you can say I got lucky for a first date. It also lasted till the morning when she told me she loved how I smelled. But again, it's not the fragrance that got the job done, it will always be you being an assertive, considerate man who will win the girl over. Go to the gym brothers. Let's be better everyday. And fragrances will only be a compliment to your personality
Currently I'm using "D'amaris Solea" awesome thing. But I also have several different STR8 and a bottle of La Rive. So far Ive received positive vibes from the ladies.
As an older guy (50+) and I like to wear Versace Dylan Blue. I feel like it is a clean subtle scent. I used to wear Armani Sport as my go to but find Blue more age appropriate. I will need to try some of the ones you recommended.
Probably the cologne I get the most compliments from women is the a D&G I got from the early 2000s. Sadly it only has fumes left in the bottle and it's long gone from the market and will never find anther one line it.
My daily now is Tom Ford Tuscan Leather, but I think I like it more than women do as I haven't had much compliments from it.
I have only bought one bottle of colonge and that was in high school, used it for a few years and that was it. Just using deodorant has been enough.
Wow, the only one from the list I have is the “One” , which I no longer wear.. need to check out your others.. thanks
What would you classify each of these fragrances under? Which season or everyday?
Nice selection Courtney, there were some I didn't know, I suggest you try the traditional Azzaro. It´s my favorite, classic winter perfume and it´s not very popular. Greetings from Argentina 😊
I have Azzaro: Wanted by Night. Absolute masterpiece from Azzaro and super affordable 🔥🔥
Yes
Yes I used to use Polo years ago. But I've stopped using it you know the last few years. But I guess I should start back using it thank you so much
I recently got into wearing a fragrance. I purchased some Fahrenheit Parfum after doing some research. I like the fact that it's not over powering. Great video I do appreciate getting a woman prospective on colognes.
Pretty new to the hobby, but after doing some research, my first 3 buys were Jazz Club, The One EDP and Bleu de Chanel EDP
All 3 of those are killers! Try the new valentino coral intense too!
Totally agree with your list,the CH prive I've never smelled,I'm not sure you can find that anymore etc?but yes all the mentioned frangrances you can't go wrong with,thanks,Tulsa, Oklahoma here.
I kind of feel like polo red is underappreciated. I've worn on dates before and was told it smells really good. It was my first cologne to my collection, and only got it because it was this one girls favorite.
The fragrance women seem to love the most for me is: Azzaro - Wanted by Night . I really love Montblanc-Legend though
I love both of those!
I like Versace Eros because the ambroxan, I love all the fragrances with ambroxan.
Courtney: "I can't maintain male friendships because they keep falling in love with me!"
I mean, can you blame them?
Simp
I just have two fragrances I use. Both presents so I havent really considered whether they are "good". Guess I have to look into getting some of these and see if it gets a response
Their favorite scent is: Lè Money 💰
All these recommendations are great! Personally, I use the Santal and Cologne Grand Luxe from Fragonard, they are not very expensive at all and they both smell great. Although I will say if you don't like sandalwood then don't get them and the Grand Luxe does start out kind of strong but give it a little bit and it mellows out nicely.
Luna Rossa is my go to.. You are 100% correct.
For those opposed to the A&F Fierce bottle or branding, go with Mont Blanc Legend! I prefer the EDP but the EDT is probably more 1 to 1 with Fierce
Spicebomb extreme gets a lot of positive reactions for me. Love that scent.
A&F Fierce is my wife’s favorite, and my go to! Good choice!
I just got into fragrances recently and have to say that YSL La Nuit De L’Homme is God tier
My favorite is journey for men please get that fragrant and review same
Hello Courtney are you doing an giveaway?
Abercrombie nd fitch that one is a good one it doesn’t last a lot of the time which is the problem but I remember when I was a kid my dad would wear it and tbh it smells super good and it’s a good price it’s around 70 or 80
Tommy Bahama Maritime; I have never gotten more compliments on cologne than this. I also can work an 8 to 12 hour day and still have the scent of it on me.
Stetson is my favorite. Every woman has loved it on me
Courtney how do I open up a girl emotionally if she seems closed off? Or should I let her come to me? I just can't decide if she is not interested or just too shy. 🤔
Your channel is a goldmine of advice and full of positive energy for both men and women. Fragrance can enhance the man, but it’s how you use it with confidence. Love your videos!!!
gotta be honest, I have no clue about the fragrance you mentioned at 2:40, then again I rarely wear cologne. I do enjoy the smell of the scnet of Leather and Brandy mens lotion from Bath and Body though. Maybe I'll give one a try if I come across it while shopping sometime.
Cold season: Dior Homme EdP, Chanel Antaeus, Guerlain Habit Rouge EdT
Warm season: Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza EdC, Bvlgari Aqva Amara (discontinued unfortunately), Terre d'Hermès EdT, Prada L'Homme EdT
Most women like to smell Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême on a guy, but i downright hate it.
