Yup. I have to wear the citrus type scents or anything sweet for cologne to smell good on me. Musky scents just don’t work for me and I may as well bathe in cat p*ss.
This is untrue. Out of all the expensive niche fragrances I own, not a single one of them has come close to the amount of compliments and affection that Sauvage Elixir has brought me. As fragrance nerds, we can become ego invested in our expensive, out of the ordinary type fragrances because they make us feel unique and special.. but I can say from experience that some things are most certainly popular for a good reason.
This reminded me of something that happened when I was starting the Master's program at University. I always wore the same basic perfume back then as I didn't really think much about fragrances back then, I think it was just Brut. I did, however have five or six perfume gift boxes that my dad had given me. These were the type that came with a bottle of the perfume and some other branded item like a toiletry bag or razor in a nice presentation box. I have no idea where he got so many of them, but suspected he hadn't paid for them, but had probably gotten them in the course of his job. Anyway, when I ran out of my usual stuff one day I didn't feel like buying more so I decided to finally start using these. The first ones didn't make much of an impact, but then I got to Safari for men, and my then-gf went absolutely crazy for it. It got to the point where I'd go to meet her and the first thing she did was give me a hug and sniff me (which I didn't actually mind). Then when I ran out, I went to the next perfume and that day when she went to smell me she got upset saying that wasn't my smell. I laughed it off, but she was a bit upset the rest of the day. The next day I went to meet her and she gifted me a box of Safari. She also told me that one day at her work some other guy came in wearing it and she got upset that someone else was wearing my scent. From that point on I always wore it while I was dating her. I figured it was doing it's job so why mess with it.
That Black Orchid is super incredibly powerful to me. I've had it 2 years and only wore it twice so far. It is an extremely specific fragrance for me. If it's cold outside, and I know I'm going to be out in it, I'll put that on. Perfect example, the first time I wore it, my wife and I went on a horse and buggy ride thru Indianapolis to see the Christmas lights. It was very cold out, and it was perfect for that situation. But I would never dream of wearing it in an enclosed, intimate setting. Not a chance. It's too strong. It damn near repulses me, AND I LOVE THE SMELL OF IT! 😄😄😄 But it's too much for intimate settings.
Over the last few years I've been becoming a bit addicted to finding a small arsenal of body soaps, shampoos and deodorants that I love the smell of and can use in rotation. It hasn't reached my cologne collection yet, but since discovering this channel I now have about 10 different scents saved on my phone that I want to slowly collect lol. I've been down the fragrance video rabbit hole and absolutely love the content. Keep bringing it, man. Amazing videos with tons of great information!
I do avoid Savauge and a few others, but really it doesn't seem to matter here in Washington State as it seems like noooobody wears scents. Even girls rarely wear it unless on a date. The last two girls I dated didn't even own a fragrance. Now I am guilty of owning an Aventis clone and it gets sooo many compliments. I also have a Layton clone and it does well too. Just got Khamrah Qahwa and Turathi Blue and they're doing great, compliment wise. I think the fact fragrance is rare here makes me get more attention for it.
I've just gotten back into wearing colognes after probably 20 years or more. I started with a cheap Calvin Klein 4-pack. I was wearing what I thought was a small amount, but while in a theater a few days ago, started smelling what I believed to be Obsession (one of the 4-pack, but not the one I was wearing). I began to get self-conscious, thinking it was me (I like Antonio's advice, and try to heed it: you should be discovered (because of your scent), not announced). Upon leaving the theater I realized it was someone else, as the smell subsided immediately, leaving me barely able to detect the other CK scent I was wearing (I really don't like Obsession, so I rarely wear it).
I have a spice bomb fragrance… think it’s the Infrared one. I like it a lot and I almost exclusively wear it at home after I shower and just lounge and relax. 😊
I highly believe that fragrances stink if applied to dirty, and unwashed skin. Some people don't shower, or they think that they can get away from showering by spraying a fragrance. And combining the dirty skin, and fragrance creates a bad scent. 3:28 I don't think it is Ambroxan. I wear Ambroxan EDP by itself, and women hound me over to know what I'm wearing.... Could be that people over spray Sauvage, and people get nose irritated from smelling the citrus notes.
Makes total sense: fragrances contain solvents - and aromatic oils act like solvents too - so they pick up the natural oils and make them more volatile
@@feedbackzaloop I mostly shower early in the morning, and one day early in the morning I had to run a quick errand. So I didn't shower, and just sprayed my chest and chest area on the shirt. The smell was bad. It almost smelled like bug spray. The next scenario is showering, and spraying a fragrance on a clean jersey fabric shirt. Then, being too tired to take the shirt off and just going to sleep with it. The scent when I woke up was off it didn't smell good.
My best mate thought he'd finally hacked life with his "shower in a can". Well, that was perfumed deodorant, not cologne. But I tried to explain to him (from a safe distance) that now he'd merely doubled his stink and made it more complex.
I work in an ER and I am constantly around people. I probably get physically near and interact with over 100 people a night, and I always wear a fragrance. Most patients do not smell good, only about 10% smell neutral. The other 90% smell like 20+ different body odors (sweat, urine, BO, vomit, blood, etc.)
Expecting anyone at all to show up smelling great while they are at the ER having a medical emergency is hilarious. Of course they don’t smell good LOL. They’re not there looking for dates and compliments.
@@shamrock7599 first of all, not everyone who shows up to the ER is in an emergency. They show up for cold symptoms, med refills, stubbed toe, etc. 2nd, because they smell so bad, it's great to get whiffs of your own fragrance to lessen the unpleasant smells around you.
Thank you for explaining why we can't smell our own fragrances. Something that NO other channel has done and they just say, "spray more of it" or, "carry a bottle with you" or some BS.
Those fragrances on your list are all beast mode and can easily choke up other people in closed spaces. Trigger discipline is highly recommended with those. For a flight I would wear something like Nautica voyage or ADG in small amounts. Great video, Antonio!
First day I wore Y EDP at work. Before I even reached work I noticed I was with a lady from another office , getting off at the station. As we were about to enter the yard she said "Oh, that odour I can't stand it!". I thought it was some garbage nearby but no, she immediately stayed away from me and went around the building to enter from another door to avoid me, mumbling something. No one else commented on it, I have tested it at home , going out, it go little but positive attention. It's strong and perhaps she just didn't like it. Even if Y line is supposedly an office friendly line, I know only use it outdoors. And no, I hadn't oversprayed. Maybe 3-4 sprays and I have a dry skin that 15 sprays of Terre, Explorer or Prada L'homme are hardly noticed even by the lady sitting right next to me at the office. And I also meet tens of clients everyday.
Y EDP owner here. 3-4 sprays of Y EDP is ACTUALLY over spraying. i did 4 sprays of Y EDP one day when i was meeting friends in a park for a picnic. one girl said she moved away from me the moment i arrived because my fragrance was so strong. and that was OUTSIDE mind you. if you're going to spray it on inside, i would say no more than 1-2 sprays.
@@lullemans72 afterwards I actually just put a couple of sprays, it's indeed quite strong. That day I was thinking of putting 3 but maybe I used 4 (two under each ear and 1 in the wrists but sometimes because I don't want to rub it I put 1 on each thus 4). I had applied at least half an hour prior because that's how much it takes me to get to work. Also, the comment was made outside, in the yard and the weather was pretty cold, December I think. It didn't smell that much in the office but I had washed both the neck and the wirsts before sitting at the office. But as I said, I usually pull off 15 sprays of usual office EDTs and some EDPs with no one even noticing. So 3-4 on my skin is almost nothing especially during the winter and outside.
@lullemans72 I have the same with Dior elixir, just one spray, sometimes two, and wife say is too strong but with Carolina Herrera bad boy extreme she is opposite. But I like it both long lasting and smells good.
I don’t know what to think about Dior Sauvage. My wife complements it every time wear it, (which she normally doesn’t do) but I don’t love it. It’s just annoying by the end of the day. However, I walked into a coffee shop last week and a dude was wearing it and it smelled great. I might buy another decant in a few months and try it again in a different season.
Hi Antonio, I am buying a silk shirt and am struggling to find much information about how to style it and if it can be worn with a tie. While looking for the answer I found that apparently you shouldn't wear a silk tie with a linen shirt. I just thought this topic might be good for a video. I would love to hear you talk about matching fabrics for example pocket square, tie and jacket fabrics if they work well together or not. Thanks.
I've always found Nautica Voyage (name just a coincidence) to be one of the best travel fragrances. It's light, clean and I find a few sprays on the shirt too will still give it enought longevity for a longer flight.
How do we know which ingredients are endocrine disruptors, and which ones are natural? Apparently some artificial chemicals in colognes and perfumes kill testosterone.
It’s a best seller for a reason lol, fragrance is a preferred taste each person may or may not like it but sales can’t lie that folks love the stuff for the most part!
I used Sauvage several years ago when it was only gaining popularity. Worked retailed and got several compliments from random women. I still have like half a bottle left but I barely use it. For whatever reason though it doesn't smell the same to me as it did when I initially got it. Smells off idk why.
I got 2 samples yesterday in the mail. Oud Wood and Sauvage Elixir. I've smelt Sauvage EDT on a test strip at a store and did nothing for me. I think at the time I bought ADG Profundo instead. I sprayed Oud Wood on the back of my left hand, 1-2 sprays. Its ok, not really my thing, musty and old came to mind. Then I sprayed Sauvage Elixir, 1 spray on my right hand. For the next 2 hours it was all I could smell, and not just smell, it was like it had coated the inside of my nostrils. Sex Panther from Anchorman kept coming to mind. Its quite .... Pungent. I couldn't imagine someone wearing this in close quarters, especially not 3 or 4 sprays. Strength aside there is also the change that occurs on skin. JPG Elixir smells sweet to me but loses most of that sweetness on my skin and smells much more masculine, whereas on clothes the sweetness remains. Bought Givenchy Gentleman Boisee blind. Smells great on clothes, almost too sweet but becomes a baby vomit smell on my skin.
A particular scent does not choke a person out, it is the level of application, or over application. And who is not conditioned to freshly baked cookies, a new car, popcorn at a movie theater! And with 2 sprays before heading out to the mall, Sauvage Elixer is a compliment getter every time.
Curly Fragrance recommends 10- 15. Sprays. As long as therse is no Oud in it. She is absolutely correct. Jeremy F, Gent Scents, and Chaos F do as well. Different opinions but many many years combined. Be Well
@wiscopyro For some scents and how some ppl wear them...yes. But for others not at all. Its trial and error. The weaker the scent then yes but if Oud or the stronger the fragrance is in then 2-3 sprays is enough👍
How does a person come to understand how well fragrances project? As a frangranoob, as I purchase new fragrances of varying concentrations, how do you learn how much they project the scent without having people tell you?
My edc's are 1 million parfum, dior sauvage parfum and versace eros parfum. I go for 3 sprays to the skin two to the neck and one to the back of the neck. Generally people have to be close to smell them and they get me compliments
I have used Paco Rabanne for years, my wife loves it, most people say that i smell manly. One woman disliked it i gave her a finger and said get used to it, i am not changing because of you.
One thing that might be mentioned is the way the fragrances mix with your body and skins natural scents, oils, hormones, and pheromone levels. Depending on a person's individual makeup, some popular colognes will smell horrible on a person, and others will smell great.
I’d very much appreciate a breakdown of what actually changes when you move up fragrance price tiers. Just curious when the bottle/cap or atomizer are where the price jump comes from or is it the actual formula? New to cologne and I have a price cap of $80 I feel comfortable keeping at but I am seeing some of my buddies collections with $100+ bottles that I am impressed with. So far the one bottle(this is going to be bottle #7) I’m going to break my rule on is going to be Spice Bomb Infrared. Everything in that price range I’ve smelled I like but not enough to break my $80 cap.
Most fragrances are awful to me. If they dont make me break out in hives, they trigger a migraine. Seriously, a little goes a long way. Other people should only smell your fragrance if they're hugging you
Not all cologne will project the same aroma on everyone. I think it would be wise to try out a drop or two to understand your own body scent and reaction to the new fragrance.
I like Dior home sport during the day and in the summer ( very fresh, spiced and citrus) and Dior home for night social events (enough just small amount).
Why did he give The One as an example of one that performs well, the edp at least does not last at all. Also 1-2 sprays is very minimal, I say at least 3 for any fragrance and sometimes up to 8
Raphael is selling cologne on his website for way more than anyone should spend on cologne. No idea how it smells or if I would like it. Personally I tend to gravitate towards the old school barber shop smells. Curly Fragrance loves to over spray. 😊
Very well explained and educational . Good work :) There is something for everyone that is interested in different type of scent profiles and which environment suits it best 🔝🔝🔝
I have yves saint laurent , versace eros, Ismaili armani aqua silvio and code Digio typo , it’s all about not putting to much in get the most compliments from aqua digio
I miss, not being able to buy Hugo Boss, In Motion, eau de toilette, in my country., anymore. The one in silver and orange, round sphere. Only body spray, I got compliment from ladies. Use Paco Rabane, Millions, today. Both deodorant and eau de toilette. A bit too , eh.. sweet and very easy to overspray. And far to expensive, plus far too many use it. David Becham, Classic Blue is ok for daily use. Other perfume from same mark, I think smell like..... euch !
Yesterday I wore Versace man Eau Fraiche then took an uber the doctor. The lady who was the driver was like wow you smell so fresh. I only sprayed like 3 times my wrists and my neck. Cause I was aware that I was going to be in an office like setting especially with the uber driver.
I really can’t stand Dior sauvage. I ended up giving my bottle away after awhile. There are a few colognes I wear, since some tend to bother my nose, but now I’m a fan of using oil. Oils like Egyptian musk or even the ones that imitate popular brands.
What do you think about MFK Grand Soir, TT Kirké and Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique? I am trying to get into the fragrances and these 3 have impressed me so far, so I'd like to learn your thoughts about them
Kirke, Erba Pura and others with this DNA have not a good reputation. They are very loud and dry down into a very frustrating musk that stays for ages. They are often used by those ladies who love to hit hard on the trigger. I would stay away from this one. The other two are fine.
Tom Ford has repeatedly said personally and his belief for all people- you can not have too much fragrance on. Of course- his fragrances are amazing so....
To me when it come to colognes, etc, it's not the fragrance per say, it is th strength, like the ph may be say 2 but how concentrated is it? Regardless of brand. price, quality etc. again some times its the strength of the fragrance, not the PH level!
Light Blue Forever (in your thumbnail) and Intense, and Italian Love smell like body odor to me. It’s the rindy grapefruit. 🤮 The OG Light blue smells better to me.
Also, by wearing the most popular fragrances, you risk smelling like other people's ex's, making them feel repulsed! 😂 Fragrances can evoke imagery and memories. Some are pleasant, some are not so.
Ain't that the truth, and it's not just Canada. I've encountered groups here in the states and they're dressed to the nines but smell like a herd of elephants. It's almost enough to call in a hazmat team to decontaminate the building.
Please shower and apply deodorant. If you think wearing cologne is the only thing keeping you from being smelly, you are incorrect. You aren't covering that level of funk up.
@@godbacchus Gym scents aren’t to cover up smell(most of the time) some people do get smelly working out, mostly just to smell good, ps you can’t shower while you work out G, thats after

Popular Brands can get away with garbage. The smaller brands have something to prove to reach the top, so they are sometimes cheaper and better
Absolutely!
I think body chemistry have a factor as well. Sometimes, sents smell different according to who wears it.
I ended up with my grandpa's cologne when he passed. It smelled amazing on him. It smells sickly and gross on me. I was very disappointed.
Yup. I have to wear the citrus type scents or anything sweet for cologne to smell good on me. Musky scents just don’t work for me and I may as well bathe in cat p*ss.

It’s a best seller for a reason lol, fragrance is a preferred taste each person may or may not like it but sales can’t lie that folks love the stuff for the most part!
@@journeyman6752 nah. Might want to check your sniffer though.
@@shawn.credit Noooooo, these fragrance snobs told me sauvage bad! It's le impossible that it's the number one best selling fragrance for years now.
i agree with polo green part, i associate that and drakkar noir with my father
I used Sauvage several years ago when it was only gaining popularity. Worked retailed and got several compliments from random women. I still have like half a bottle left but I barely use it. For whatever reason though it doesn't smell the same to me as it did when I initially got it. Smells off idk why.
Me too. I smell like Johnny Depp playing a guitar in the desert.
It’s because of how synthetic it is
I got 2 samples yesterday in the mail. Oud Wood and Sauvage Elixir. I've smelt Sauvage EDT on a test strip at a store and did nothing for me. I think at the time I bought ADG Profundo instead. I sprayed Oud Wood on the back of my left hand, 1-2 sprays. Its ok, not really my thing, musty and old came to mind. Then I sprayed Sauvage Elixir, 1 spray on my right hand. For the next 2 hours it was all I could smell, and not just smell, it was like it had coated the inside of my nostrils. Sex Panther from Anchorman kept coming to mind. Its quite .... Pungent. I couldn't imagine someone wearing this in close quarters, especially not 3 or 4 sprays. Strength aside there is also the change that occurs on skin. JPG Elixir smells sweet to me but loses most of that sweetness on my skin and smells much more masculine, whereas on clothes the sweetness remains. Bought Givenchy Gentleman Boisee blind. Smells great on clothes, almost too sweet but becomes a baby vomit smell on my skin.
A particular scent does not choke a person out, it is the level of application, or over application.
And who is not conditioned to freshly baked cookies, a new car, popcorn at a movie theater!
And with 2 sprays before heading out to the mall, Sauvage Elixer is a compliment getter every time.
When cologne goes wrong it's probably applied incorrectly. Got to mix gently with those sweat glands.
How about Dior Tobacolor ? Can we please have a topiic (review) about it please. Thank for such information topics
Curly Fragrance recommends 10- 15. Sprays. As long as therse is no Oud in it. She is absolutely correct. Jeremy F, Gent Scents, and Chaos F do as well. Different opinions but many many years combined. Be Well
That's WAY too much!
@wiscopyro For some scents and how some ppl wear them...yes. But for others not at all. Its trial and error. The weaker the scent then yes but if Oud or the stronger the fragrance is in then 2-3 sprays is enough👍
@DanitoDukes
I only have 1 EDT and will only use one spray from it, the others are EDPs and definitely a one spray only scent.
How does a person come to understand how well fragrances project? As a frangranoob, as I purchase new fragrances of varying concentrations, how do you learn how much they project the scent without having people tell you?
My edc's are 1 million parfum, dior sauvage parfum and versace eros parfum. I go for 3 sprays to the skin two to the neck and one to the back of the neck. Generally people have to be close to smell them and they get me compliments
I have used Paco Rabanne for years, my wife loves it, most people say that i smell manly. One woman disliked it i gave her a finger and said get used to it, i am not changing because of you.
I remember when Grey Flannel cologne was popular. It actually smelled like Raid bug spray when certain people wore it.
Now that is a polarizing scent...
If I like a fragrance that's all that matters.
Maybe some people are too polite to tell you the truth...
Then that's their problem. @@journeyman6752
That 200ml bottle of Sauvage is comical it's so big. 3 centuries worth of fragrance in there.
One thing that might be mentioned is the way the fragrances mix with your body and skins natural scents, oils, hormones, and pheromone levels. Depending on a person's individual makeup, some popular colognes will smell horrible on a person, and others will smell great.
1-2 sprays of EDP for me is the maximum. I never apply more than that. If EDT then maybe 3-4 max as its weaker.
I’d very much appreciate a breakdown of what actually changes when you move up fragrance price tiers.
Just curious when the bottle/cap or atomizer are where the price jump comes from or is it the actual formula? New to cologne and I have a price cap of $80 I feel comfortable keeping at but I am seeing some of my buddies collections with $100+ bottles that I am impressed with. So far the one bottle(this is going to be bottle #7) I’m going to break my rule on is going to be Spice Bomb Infrared. Everything in that price range I’ve smelled I like but not enough to break my $80 cap.
There’s legit men who couldn’t wake up and put feet on the floor without you telling them how Antonio. Keep up the great work my man!
I like Creed Aventus, but it's a bit too feminine for me, would you recommend Royal Oud in that case?
Most fragrances are awful to me. If they dont make me break out in hives, they trigger a migraine. Seriously, a little goes a long way. Other people should only smell your fragrance if they're hugging you
In other words, you can never tell how people will react to any given fragrance. Receiving one complaint is worse than receiving ten compliments.
I really want a bottle of Polo green, havent seen it in decades, it smells great on me
Scent is the strongest sense linked to memory
Alghabra Cuban Tonacco is their best one IMO.
Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Not all cologne will project the same aroma on everyone. I think it would be wise to try out a drop or two to understand your own body scent and reaction to the new fragrance.
I like Dior home sport during the day and in the summer ( very fresh, spiced and citrus) and Dior home for night social events (enough just small amount).
6:58 I do more than one or two sprays because I do twice on the neck left,right and then on my forearms left,right. Is this overdoing it?
Why did he give The One as an example of one that performs well, the edp at least does not last at all. Also 1-2 sprays is very minimal, I say at least 3 for any fragrance and sometimes up to 8
Suggestions when I go to NYC and that Marijuana sell is everywhere all the perfumes I've used can't last around that.
Raphael is selling cologne on his website for way more than anyone should spend on cologne. No idea how it smells or if I would like it. Personally I tend to gravitate towards the old school barber shop smells.
Curly Fragrance loves to over spray. 😊
What about PDM Carlisle? Is this a good 4 spray fragrance on skin during winter months?
Very well explained and educational . Good work :) There is something for everyone that is interested in different type of scent profiles and which environment suits it best 🔝🔝🔝
I continue to learn
I have yves saint laurent , versace eros, Ismaili armani aqua silvio
and code Digio typo , it’s all about not putting to much in get
the most compliments from aqua digio
AWESOME ❤
It is simple. Never ever over spray
Where can I get some Aqua Velva or Canoe?
I miss, not being able to buy Hugo Boss, In Motion, eau de toilette, in my country., anymore. The one in silver and orange, round sphere. Only body spray, I got compliment from ladies. Use Paco Rabane, Millions, today. Both deodorant and eau de toilette. A bit too , eh.. sweet and very easy to overspray. And far to expensive, plus far too many use it. David Becham, Classic Blue is ok for daily use. Other perfume from same mark, I think smell like..... euch !
Best one this year!
Yesterday I wore Versace man Eau Fraiche then took an uber the doctor. The lady who was the driver was like wow you smell so fresh. I only sprayed like 3 times my wrists and my neck. Cause I was aware that I was going to be in an office like setting especially with the uber driver.
What is your opinion on valentino born in roma oumo intense
I really can’t stand Dior sauvage. I ended up giving my bottle away after awhile. There are a few colognes I wear, since some tend to bother my nose, but now I’m a fan of using oil. Oils like Egyptian musk or even the ones that imitate popular brands.
What do you think about MFK Grand Soir, TT Kirké and Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique? I am trying to get into the fragrances and these 3 have impressed me so far, so I'd like to learn your thoughts about them
Kirke, Erba Pura and others with this DNA have not a good reputation. They are very loud and dry down into a very frustrating musk that stays for ages. They are often used by those ladies who love to hit hard on the trigger. I would stay away from this one. The other two are fine.
Tom Ford has repeatedly said personally and his belief for all people- you can not have too much fragrance on. Of course- his fragrances are amazing so....
So how many sprays before you leave the house?
7, f'em
1 Million is repulsive however Sauvage is the bomb if you use it sparingly.
To me when it come to colognes, etc, it's not the fragrance per say, it is th strength, like the ph may be say 2 but how concentrated is it?
Regardless of brand. price, quality etc. again some times its the strength of the fragrance, not the PH level!
Is the dior sauvage elixir good?
Herban Cowboy's Forest is the best fragrance ever.
Good morning 🙏
Good morning! Hope you have a wonderful day ahead, sir!
You still got mission fragrances how's that going
I prefer Eau de Natural Bull
I do not tolerate fragrances that are too sweet, makes me fill dizzy!
One million was awesome
My favourite fragrance
I was at a movie recently and a woman had so much perfume on that I could taste it from four rows back. This is not an exaggeration: I could taste it.
How is Mont blanc ?
This is your first humor video and it's hilarious.
Light Blue Forever (in your thumbnail) and Intense, and Italian Love smell like body odor to me. It’s the rindy grapefruit. 🤮
The OG Light blue smells better to me.
I go to the store and smell the different colognes if I don't like the smell I won't buy it, I also ask my wife if she likes it.
Also, by wearing the most popular fragrances, you risk smelling like other people's ex's, making them feel repulsed! 😂
Fragrances can evoke imagery and memories.
Some are pleasant, some are not so.
Sorry, Aventus is weak?!? 😂 Man if I spray more than once I start getting noticed before I'm even thinking about entering a room
Dang it...then why do we only get people from India who don't use deodorant in Canada? We end up bombarded but with stank.
Ain't that the truth, and it's not just Canada. I've encountered groups here in the states and they're dressed to the nines but smell like a herd of elephants. It's almost enough to call in a hazmat team to decontaminate the building.
You do NOT need to wear ANY cologne (or perfume) in the GYM. Period.
Ok smelly
Please shower and apply deodorant. If you think wearing cologne is the only thing keeping you from being smelly, you are incorrect. You aren't covering that level of funk up.
@@godbacchus Gym scents aren’t to cover up smell(most of the time) some people do get smelly working out, mostly just to smell good, ps you can’t shower while you work out G, thats after

Im shocked ,I just brought a bottle of Sauvage last month.
Curly Fragrance punching the wall right now 🤣🤣
She just blocked this channel and started creating her counter video.
@@r-dot wait, really? Damn. I don't watch her at all, but didn't expect her to do that. Did something happen between her and Antonio?
