I purchased the Roberto Ugolini sampler and I love pretty much all of the smells. My wife loves the Oxford and Derby with my body chemistry. I’m a bit more daring so I can wear some of the more “feminine” scents and pull it off without any worries. I appreciate this video to help me learn more about the scents I bought and to learn more about pairing for the seasons. Thanks again as always gents!
@@ebdaniels8774that’s awesome Eb! I’m wearing it right now and my wife’s best friend gave me a compliment on it, I feel it’s worth a signature scent, it’s so versatile.
Leave it to The Gentlemen's Gazette to take any subject, in this case men's fragrance, to a much higher and more sophisticated level. Too many RU-vid fragrance influencers out there who make swooning faces over a seemingly endless parade of " Must Have " colognes, without a deep enough understanding or explanation of why or how, other than...." this one's gonna make the ladies melt? " I learned a lot here tonight from your video. Gosh...it made SENSE. Thank you.
After many years of trying this and that, I finally discovered the Royall line of scents. I especially like their Lyme, Muske, and Vetiver Noir scents, although I keep bottles of some of their others around for when I'm in the mood for them. I like Lyme on a hot Summer's day, or after vigorous physical activity. Muske is good for a romantic evening with my wife, and Vetiver Noir works well in social or professional settings. I like variety, so I almost never wear the same scent more than a couple of days in a row. II know some men have their favorite and that is what they always wear. I am just not like that. I found your segment on bottle shapes very amusing. Of course, the actual scent s far more important that the shape of the bottle, and I don't set my scents out on display so it wouldn't really matter, but I tend to be conservative and a strangely shaped bottle would be more likely to deter me from trying a new fragrance than attract my interest. Thanks for the video. I always find your content interesting, and I think what you are doing is very important. Men today, both older and younger, tend to adopt a sloppy, undignified manner of dress, and I think this influences their behavior. It is, of course, not necessary to wear a coat and tie every day but, on the other hand, jeans and a T-shirt and a backwards baseball cap should also not be ones daily attire. One should strive to present oneself to the world as a gentleman, not a slob. I think your videos do a great service in showing men a better way to be.
The social science behind scent theory is an interesting research topic. A scent seems to have a primordial in-group connotation correlating to a persons status within the group. This might be a hypothesis to further explore which would give the applier of the scent a strategy for employing the invisible hand of scent to maximise their chances for social success.
thanks a lot guys. Please don't rub your wrists together to "activate" the scent. You destroy the perfume with the friction and the heat of his top and middle notes!!
What do you guys think of the compliments others give for your fragrance? The other day, someone told me I was smelling fantastic and really took me by surprise because I wasn't really loving the scent, but now I'm using it almost every day 😂
Sometimes you have to strike a balance between what you like and what other people like. If you like a scent, but your lady love does not, it is best not to wear it too often. On the other hand, if you are so-so on a scent, but your boss complements you on it, wear it fairly often.
I think that a lot of the time even if someone loves your fragrance they won't actually say anything so I generally wear what I want to wear unless I'm seeing somebody who has explicitly said that they don't like a specific one
@@Adthin it happens to me that a close female friend told me one of my fragrances reminds her of her ex boyfriend, needless to say I never wear it when we meet.
Not so sure about that stock footage of the person rubbing their forearms/wrists together after applying the fragrance. I know that’s common practice but it’s also kind of frowned upon by many within the fragrance industry.
Gentlemen, do you have a basic scent guide that is comparable to Antonio Centeno's of Real Men Real Style? I am autistic and due to sensitivity to scent, I do not purchase scents commercially. I choose scented healthcare products quite carefully, and amend liquid ones like lotion, soap, shampoo and conditioner with essential oils if I wish, being careful to avoid scent confusion, which my 21-year-old kid will pick up long before my wife does. My two kids are on varying degrees of the spectrum, so everything must pass a "sniff test" for all 4 of us. Thank you for your time and attention.
I think the biggest mistake people make is that they put too much on. When someone hits me with his (or her!) smell simply by walking by, it feels aggressive. I should only have to smell your fragrance if I lean in or if we have a prolonged conversation indoors.
I feel like spraying the cologne directly on your face is a bit much. I’ll spray it on my inner wrists and then rub those behind my ears. No complaints yet.
@@derlachendevagabund7942 BS. You are not destroying the scent. You are not strong enough to destroy molecules while rubbing your wrists together. The worst that happens is that you cause a bit of friction and the top note dissipates sooner. And the top note doesn't last beyond a few minutes anyways.
Knowing that you're hawking the Ugolini fragrances, makes all your recommendations suspect. Also, saw your ridiculous 10 best fragrances video and stunned at the arrogance of someone thinking they're qualified to make such a list.
I was gifted a bottle of Old Spice after shave for Christmas. My brother and cousin got the same bottles. I suspect my nan. It indeed does remind me of an uninspiring stereotypical macho.
If her genetics make her that weak this Leo won’t need more of that blood watering our tree. We all have gardens and pets and adore a new seasonal smell despite a sneeze every so often.👌🏻
Quality niche perfumery mostly wears close to skin. You probably experienced budget spays from a department store that make people sneeze. Discovering fragrances opens up the whole new dimension like 6th sense that you can use for your own good and enjoyment. Don’t let a bad experience spoil it.
