20+ Hot Weather Fragrances Every Man Should Try (Compliment Monsters)

And this one right here, eight plus hours, Sauvage by Dior. This is a usual suspect. You see it on a lot of lists and for good reason. This is a strong fragrance. Now, I'm not talking about the Parfum or the EDP. The EDT is actually where it's at. Now, a lot of people rag on this fragrance because it's so common, but what you can't complain about is longevity. This stuff lasts. And another big plus, the ladies love it. Now, what about a fragrance that's less common? In fact, you'll be in a room and nobody else is going to be wearing it, but you will get compliments because it smells fresh, amazing. Check out the Scent of Peace by Bond No. 9. Aromatic, woody, fruity. This fragrance smells amazing and it has staying power, seven plus hours. Now, of course, this would not be a summer list without an Acqua Di Gio. Now, I'm putting Profumo in here, but to be honest, I could have put Profundo. I didn't want to put the original because the original lasts maybe five hours. Profumo, because it's a bit deeper, has an incense. This is going to get you seven to eight hours. Some people, though, feel it's a little bit too dark for the day. I think it's perfectly fine, but Profundo if you want something a little bit more aquatic is a great recommendation as well, but I only get about six to seven hours from that one. Now, most of the fragrances I've talked about so far have either been a citrus or an aquatic. We've been a few aromatics, but there really haven't been any sweet aromatics. That's why I'm bringing in Yves Saint Laurent's Y and this is the EDP, not the EDT. Don't go with the EDT, incredibly weak. The EDP, they did great. This is going to get you seven plus hours with three to five sprays. What I like about this fragrance is it's readily available. You can walk into a store, you can try it, and if you want to smell great, again, the ladies are going to love this. This is a crowd-pleasing fragrance. It's relatively common, but not that common and that's why I like it, that's why it's on this list. This next fragrance has really been looked over and in my opinion is the best summer offering by Parfums de Marley and that is Galloway. This is an amazing fragrance and I also like that it lasts seven plus hours. Now, this next fragrance is an absolute summer beast. We're talking ten plus hours from three sprays. I also like that it's really niche fragrance. You can pretty much be guaranteed you're going to be the only guy in the room wearing this. The fragrance I'm talking about right here is Navitus Parfums Vivamore. If you can think about it, this is a mix between Creed Aventus and BR540, both of them expensive very respected fragrances and somehow they were able to bring it together. It's sweeter than Creed Aventus, it lasts a heck of a lot longer and it's just a beautiful combination. Again, if you don't mind comparisons like that, this is well worth trying. And another beast from Navitus Parfums that lasts ten plus hours and is great for the summer, check out Primus. And of course, no long-lasting list would be complete without Dior's Fahrenheit. Gasoline, leather, a bad boy in a bottle and guess what? He lasts all night long. Certain notes are more for the summer. A great example is going to be coconut. It's in both of these fragrances, although it's very different. But for me, when I smell it in both of these, I'm like, oh, man, this takes me to Puerto Rico and I just love the island, just such a paradise. Puerto Ricans are amazing people. And the fragrance, this one just reminded me of spending time over there. So, Virgin Island Water, this one here by Creed is relatively expensive for what you get. But, just a go-to for summer for me. And then, let's talk about Loewe's. I can't pronounce that. You guys, the Spanish. And I do know that Ibiza is an island off of Spain. I have since learned that. You guys let me know in the comments when I for some reason said it was over in Greece, I didn't know my geo. But this fragrance right here is a unisex fragrance. That being said, get your nose on this, incredibly unique. And a lot of people don't like the scent of coconut. This one just does it so well and it's actually got good projection, easily one of my favorite summer picks. That being said, if you're really into coconut fragrances and you want one that's going to get you compliments all day long with a really good amount of sweetness, gents, you need to check out Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Beau. This thing has good longevity. So, you spray, you know, three sprays in the chest area, that's going to last you the majority of the day. If you really want to project, yeah, three sprays in the chest, a couple of sprays in the back of the neck, one on each arm. Guys, you're going to have people coming up and saying, wow, what are you wearing? This is amazing. Or you're going to choke some people out, but they're still going to, yeah, smell your amazingness. Crete gets a lot of flack because its fragrances don't have great longevity, but they do cost an arm and a leg. And if that sounds like you, then definitely check out Arolfa. I think it's a beautiful fragrance. It's one of the most underrated citruses in their house. If I had to describe this fragrance, it's like being on a yacht in the Mediterranean eating melons, you know, a mix of watermelon, honeydew melon, maybe even a bit of cantaloupe right in there. And, yeah, being downwind from a lemon orchard. So, all that mixed in with this, this is that fragrance. Citrus at the top, some florals in the middle, and the classic combination of musk, cedar, and tonka at the base. For those of you guys that know, you know this beautiful ordo parisi fragrance has a very strong javanol note. And in case you don't know, javanol is a synthetic sandalwood molecule. It's smooth, it's creamy, it's rich, and most importantly, it is powerful. In fact, as I'm sure some of you chemistry nerds will point out in the comments, the javanol molecule structure lacks double bonds, which basically contributes to its stability and gives it the ability to enhance other accords including woods, florals, and citruses. The result? A combination greater than its individual parts. Gents, the beautiful sexy summer fragrance I'm talking about here is Bergamask, a niche fragrance that's been out for over a decade. It's a modern masterpiece that's incredibly sexy and still overlooked by 99.9% of men. Next up, let's get aquatic and I've got two from the house of Bvlgari. First up, Aqua Amarna. This is a beautiful citrus aquatic with a bit of a metallic synthetic note to it. It actually isn't bad. The only issue with this fragrance is I believe it's discontinued, so it's expensive and hard to find. So, with that being said, check out this other fragrance from Bvlgari, Aqua Atlantique. So, if I were to classify this fragrance, it's an aromatic aquatic citrus with amber. And this right here is a unique fragrance. It's – it is a blue fragrance, hence I mean the color makes sense, but we also think it's an aquatic. It's a mix between an aquatic and a blue and a really nice scent. And, gents, I need to say in hotter weather, 90, 100 degree plus weather, this is where this fragrance really shines. Now, the fragrance I'm wearing today came out a few years ago. It is from the house of Anno which the majority of people have never even heard of this house. And the fragrance is called Bigaret. So, the scent that this fragrance looks to capture is the Amalfi Coast, in particular the Mediterranean ocean air mixing in with citrus and a bit of the vegetation. So, we have very fresh clean citruses at the top mixed in with some greens and aquatics. Think a citrus grove after a rain with a bit of an ocean smell. And personally, I'm loving it. If you want to grab this fragrance, get over to Max Aroma. Gents, I've talked about Max Aroma before and one of the reasons I work with them as a sponsor and an affiliate is because Max Aroma has access to fragrances that most average men have never heard of, but they need to. So, example, the house of Anno here, I've been talking about them over on my Centeno channel. What I love about these guys is the story how the founder of the nose, she traveled the world, she wanted to bring fragrances back that she'd collected and so, she created this beautiful line based off her passion. And that's just one example of the niche fragrances you can find over at Max Aroma. Another house you're going to find over at Max Aroma, Mebasseuse. And my two summer picks from this house, if you're looking, guys, go with A Wondrous Flight if you like a grapefruit fragrance. This one right here is going to stand out, a very strong citrus top. Or if you want something that's a bit sweeter, a bit fruity, check out their Passion Island. Now, if you want something lighter, but still tropical, check out Light Breeze from the house of Destin. Now, the note breakout on this fragrance, a little bit more complex, but the main accords here, it's going to be those citruses with a bit of that aromatic spice in it. If you like Percival by Parfums de Marly or Egoist Platinum by Chanel, then you are going to love this one. It's versatile, easy to wear. This could be your dumb reach throughout the summer. So, yeah, before you go out there and buy a whole big expensive bottle, you can get a sample that you know is legit delivered in a beautiful atomizer, so that you can take that fragrance for a test drive before you commit to a full bottle. Come on, you guys know I take care of you, so seriously, get over to Max Aroma. Use that link. Go check them out. If you want more of an aquatic smell, go with Profundo. If you want a smoky incense, go with Profumo. But for today's video, I'm choosing Profundo lights because this is great for hot weather and I wanted to rattle some feathers and choose a fragrance I think a lot of people panned that I think is absolutely fine. It's very similar to Profundo. It's just going to have a bit more citrus, lighter, airy. And again, if it's getting above 35, 40 degrees Celsius, this would be a great fragrance to grab. Notice how I looked out for our non-American audience there because us Americans, yeah, we don't use Celsius. 100 degrees Fahrenheit, yeah, that's when you want to be pulling this stuff off. Now, this next fragrance does not get any love. Even people that like Bvlgari fragrances, they often overlook glacial essence. However, I think this fragrance is great for hot weather. In cooler weather, you're not going to be able to pick up much. But in extreme hot weather, those notes right there at the top, that juniper, ginger, geranium with that orris root, artemisia, and sandalwood in the middle and the musk, cedar, and clear wood at the base. I don't know. For me, this fragrance is cooling, it's calming. This is the one that it's like 110 degrees outside and you're sweltering hot. This would be a great fragrance to put on. It just simply makes you feel cooler, which makes perfect sense based off its name, huh? Now, some of you guys are saying, come on, Antonio, I'm on a budget. Give me something inexpensive that smells amazing in hot weather and lasts. Well, guess what? You've got a classic here from 1994, which a lot of guys still do not pull off. An amazing fragrance, Japanese. We have Issey Miyake's Odisei Po Om. Now, the top most prominent note in this fragrance is yuzu. If you're not familiar, it's a sour citrus and it smells absolutely amazing and also has the quality that it lasts a long time. You're going to get eight plus hours with three to five sprays. Inexpensive. And, yes, guys in their 40s and 50s know about this, but if you're 20 years old going to a pool party and you want a fragrance that's going to set you apart, smells sophisticated and great for summer and last all day, boom, you've got it right here. Now, what about something more affordable, something you can smell in your local store? Check out Versace Eros Flame. So, some people are going to say this is not a summer fragrance. I think it is. Why? It's a citrus aromatic. Three sprays, this is going to last you eight to nine hours. Five sprays, yeah, this will last you all night. And, again, this is one of those DNAs people recognize. Versace Eros has been around for a while. This is the newer release, the Flanker. But, I still think that this one is unique enough and just perfect for the summer, just beautiful. It's a great scent. But, the cheapest beast mode summer fragrance out there, Cool Water by Davidoff. Seriously, three sprays, you're going to get eight hours. Five sprays, ten plus hours. Seven sprays, you're going to be smelling this the next day. Now, one of the things I love about Davidoff's Cool Water is they have a whole lot of Flankers out there. You want something that's got longevity, but a little bit heavier on the melons on the fruit? Check out Cool Water Wave. You want something with more oceanic notes? Check out the properly named Ocean Extreme. And the price? Cheap. I could drop one of these bottles right now, but I'm not going to because I like them. But, point being is they're inexpensive. That being said, for some of you old school guys, you're going to say, well, Antonio, Polo Sport was actually pretty damn good. I'm 100% agree, Polo Sport. It's been out for a while, but this one still smells amazing. A bit overpriced for what you get. Again, that's my issue with this house. And if you want something that smells very similar, check out Corum's Aqua. I actually think it smells very much like Polo Sport and is a lot cheaper. What's next on the list? Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue. This is a fragrance you have seen in stores, you've probably smelled, and this one is okay. The Light Blue, the original, the only issue with it is it's relatively weak, but it has a beautiful scent profile. People describe this as coming out of the shower and eating fruit. I don't get that much sweetness from this. It does have that citrus, it does just simply have a fresh clean. But, if you're going to go with one, look at the Light Blue Eau Intense. The Eau Intense is everything that the original is except stronger. That being said, if you enjoyed the original Dolce & Gabbana, pour on, but you want something a little bit darker, something a little bit smokier with a little bit of tobacco, a little bit of wood to it, check – oh, I just knocked over something, but check out the Intenso. This one right here is underrated, not talked about nearly as much as the Light Blues, yet it can be worn in hot weather. It's an aromatic. It's just got something – a smoky darker quality to it. And this for a lot of people is in their top ten. It is unique at the same time, not overpowering, well-blended. A lot of people can't even pick up all the different notes because it is that well put together. Now, this next fragrance has been around for a while. In fact, the scent profile is very recognizable to a lot of people. That being said, it still draws in the ladies. The sex appeal maybe mixed in with sweaty skin draws them in. What am I talking about, guys? Abercrombie and Fitch's Fierce. This one right here, maybe it's the abs. I don't know. There's something about the musk mixed in with that aromatic woody citrus mix. It's a relatively simple scent profile. It's been copied many times, but there is just something about this fragrance. You might as well grab the original. Yes, I know it's weaker than what it used to be, but get your nose on this thing. See how it works on your unique skin and the chemistry there. You may find that this one, yeah, is your sexy summer go-to. All right, guys. Drum roll, please. The top pick in today's video and for some of you guys, this will be no surprise. I've talked about this fragrance before. It is sex in a bottle when it comes to summer because it's just sweet, yet it can be worn in extreme hot weather. What am I talking about, guys? Versace's Manifresh. This is a lemon cream pie in a bottle that can be worn in extreme hot weather. There's something sweet, yet it is got that citrus note. It is – it's not aquatic, yet some people pick up those notes. This is an amazing blend. If you haven't gotten your nose on it, guys, make sure it's a classic and this is going to get you compliments. The ladies are going to love it. All right, gents. So, what video to watch next? How about how to actually put on a fragrance? So many guys are out there putting on fragrances incorrectly. Guys, I got you covered in this video where I show you exactly how to wear a fragrance this summer or fall, spring, whenever. Guys, yeah, check it out, good video. You won't make the mistakes that, yeah, can lead to very bad things.
