10 Must Own Fragrances In Any Man's Collection | Men’s Cologne/Perfume Review 2024 

Day 25 of asking omar to oil up his head

Day 30 of asking Omar to make a Xerjoff buying guide.

edging the xerjoff guy with the naxos recommendation

I hope omar would release xerjoff buying guide before release of GTA6

How about top 10 xerjoff fragrances?

I'd easily go for Prada L'Homme over the Dior, Valentino & Givenchy every day. A very classy designer scent.

I own around 100 bottles collection, without a single blue scent, and i am proud of it

I agree with your introduction. There aren't any must owns, in my opinion. It's completely personal. If you feel you MUST own a fragrance, then that's your own opinion. Personally, even though I have many bottles, and I sampled hundreds, and I have some that I love and had for years, I still won't say any are a must own.

Wonderful fragrances you presented. Thanks, Omar, for giving an idea of what kind of fragrances a solid collection should have.

Been supporting since day 1 😭💪🏻

My top 10 would be (not in any order) 1. Pdm layton exclusif 2. Azzaro most wanted edp intense 3. Aqua di gio parfum 2024 version 4. Xerjoff Alexandria ii 5. Arabian oud Arabian knight silver 6. Dior sauvage elixir 7. Bois imperial 8. Mancera cedrat boise intense 9. Spicebomb extreme 10. Tom ford ombre leather edp

The one EDP has my heart, it’s good for a few hours on a date night, that performance is not great, but the scent just does something to my brain

School of scents please reply, where do u get your videos of the sweets like vanilla or other scents u have like videos of them where do u get them

Mancera Cedrat Boise Intense?

Tom Ford Oud Wood, my wife can’t stand. I personally like it. Ombré Leather is amazing!! I’m 50, & I rock JPG Ultra Male, & Versace Eros. 🤷‍♂️ I think they’re both great!!

Hej, I need your help Maybe you know if Dior Homme Intense was recently reformulated? Well the opinions are about the projection and lasting of this fragrance. I LOVE how it smells, but the projection and lastong could be really bad What do you think? The video is really cool obviously

Why do you prefer Prada over Dior homme intense?

My go-to 10 (in no particular oder) 1. Alessandro dell acqua for men 2. Gucci guilty edp 3. Carolina herrera prive 4. Chanel allure homme sport 5. Escada sentiment for men 6. Arabian oud madawi 7. Bvlgari pour homme 8. Bodyshop dewberry 9. Calvin klein truth 10. Hugo boss bottled

I heard theres a xerjoff buying guide coming, is that right?

My recommendations is Oud For Greatness Le Male Le Parfum Sospiro Vibrato Nishane Hacivat Dior Homme Sport Boss Bottled Elixir Amouage Interlude Black Iris Gucci Guilty Elixir Bentley For Men Intense Encre Noire A'L Extreme

What do I get jpg ultra male or jpg le male Le parfum

Yeah, I agree with you on the fact that I don't think there are any truly "must-own" fragrances. However, I do think this is a good list of must-try fragrances, all of these are great to introduce somebody to different scent profiles and families. Maybe not own each one, but should get a sample at least once as a collector.

Is it true that tom ford parfumes have a really bad performance? Was thinking a lot about wood, tried it, amazing, but heard it lasts like 3 hours??

I feel like prada lhomme is such a must have if you work in a close quarters environment

Gisada Ambasador Intense?

I love Dior hom intense and it is my go to with Michael Malul Upper East.

DHS 21. Perfect for anyone out of high school

Just because you dont like Prada Lhomme, the designer fragrance i love the most, means that i will dislike or say bad things in the comments. I will however say that Prada Lhomme is better than the Dior Homme line and any flanker of Gentleman. It doesnt mean its original but its iris is fresh and clean which might be compared to Dior Homme Eau or Valentino Acqua but combined with Prada's soapy style then it does the job well and might be the most versatile of all Designer Iris Frags :)

Omar, you put me on to Trouble in Paradise and i fell in love with it. Because of you i found my favourite mango fragrance and i just want to thank you so much. Trouble in Paradise would be MY must own. ❤❤

Le beau le parfum, Eros edt, le male edt, million elixir, aqua gio profundo , ( polo sport for the gym)Armani code absolu, givenchy gentlemen absolute ( 2016)allure homme sport cologne. All these are immediate repeat buys for me as soon as they get near empty.

I currently have ADG profondo (not the new release) and I was wondering how to expand my collection, any advice?

Penhaligon Sartorial?

Every full bottle I has been a must-own at some point to be honest. The more you learn about fragrances the more you will learn what is pleasant to your own nose. There are fragrances I own that I would not rebuy though. I currently have 14 fragrances and I noticed that it will take me at least 5 years to deplete everything even if I overspray and wear them 365 days a year.

Hey Omar! Question, I really enjoy the La Nuit De L’homme DNA and I want to buy one. Would you rather go for the Bleu Electrique, Or would you go for the 2017 batch? Is it worth it? Do you have any experience with the longevity? I want the smell of the OG La Nuit but the performance of Bleu Elctrique 😁 sounds beautiful

Terre d'Hermes perfume is a life must-have for me in general. I am a huge fan of the line. I have been enjoying TdH Eau Intense Vetiver these days, it is very classy, so well made and really beautiful modern perfume with some connection to classic French male vetiver olfactive profiles. It owns some complexity. I will always wear it with some nice Italian loafers during summer.

I believe everyone should have one of the Aqua Di Gio flankers or the original. I also think that everyone should have PDM Layton

Ultra Male was absolutely incredible. I would have kept it but it had barely 2 hours of longevity on me, and that's not just me going noseblind. Super disappointing. I don't think 9pm is a great clone either, the pear is what appealed to me the most in UM and 9PM misses it. Will definitely be checking out Hard Candy Elixir. The Le Male Elixir is pretty awesome, though. SUPER long lasting on my skin

Disagree with the tag of must-haves, implies someone else is dictating your fragrance choices. Everyone's frag journey, styles, needs etc varies. I luv watching these vids for inspiration or just plain info. That said i picked up honour and glory yesterday based on Omar's luv for it, have the OG badee al oud and it garners so much interest and compliments. Back to the topic it is good to get a balanced and well rounded collection but if you only like deep heavy polarising scents that's good as well.

Jean paul le male for sure everyone shud have!

I would have added Tom Ford noir Extreme edp or the parfum, they are both the same. Both are arguably the best and most unique designer scents on the market right now. Though I have heard rumours of possible reformulations.

I love Naxos, but rarely wear it because so many people come up to me saying how wonderful I smell & asking what it is because they want to get it for themselves. I'm quite a quiet person & really don't like all the attention that comes with wearing Naxos.

I wouldn't recommend niche to my inner circle. Favorite budget designer is Mont Blanc Legend EDP.

I can´t afford naxos, but I heard insurrection 2 is similar. It is that good dupe and worthbuying?

Prada L’Homme Intense is superior! ❤️‍🔥

I don't understand why every fragrance reviewer hates on ultramale yes it was hyped up a lot but i still like the smell(i am 23 by the way) I don't think people give it enough credit it is a lot more versatile than people say, it really isn't as sweet as he says it is, it is not overwhelming at all actually the smell is really pleasant at all times and i really like it when it dries down i don't have le parfum or elixir but i will for sure get them but yeah ultramale is really nice i give it easy 9/10 and don't forget you buy a fragrance primarily for your pleasure and not for others if you like the smell you can use Ultramale even if you are 50,60 i don't care you can't put an age limit to a fragrance just use what you like

I have the Armani Code Parfum, maybe I just don't smell it, after about an hour and it doesn't really excite me, I spray about 5 sprays on skin, just not resonating for me. Wanted it to be my office scent however it's moving to my dumb reach fragrance.

Omar tell me the beast mode which last 24 hr so i can buy

Something to keep in mind, virtually nobody you encounter in the real world knows one of these fragrances from another. Over time, people like us who are collectors usually wear them for our own enjoyment and not necessarily for others (like you did when you were in your early 20's). That being said, fragrances that I've found that have mass appeal like Creed Aventis or Acqua di Gio Profondo are 100% must-haves. They are going to awaken memories in others of their early days, out clubbing and having the times of their lives. Sure, some people may be off-put because their ex wore that fragrance but on balance these kind of fragrances are must-have winners for virtually every man.

Cool Water YVS Kouros

I get more compliments from wearing Percival by Parfums de Marley than anything else I have ever worn, so it would be my pick to be in every man's collection.

i do agree that Dior Homme intense is a 'must try' but it smells femminine to me.

Personally I would take Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privée over Dior Homme Intense. Way better to my nose and on my skin.

I think Eros is more pleasant than the alternatives you suggested with the exception of the elixir. The reason why it is still around and so popular is its masterful craftsmanship.

Omar, TF Oud Wood performs horribly. I bought a 50 ml bottle in the US this last week from a major store. I tried it and it lasted like 15 minutes on skin. I had to take it back and they were kind to replace it with a bottle of Noir de Noir at no cost to me. That one is nicer and does last long. I think Oud Wood must have been reformulated or something.

I dunno man. I can't get around Armani code parfum. The sample I have smells so unrefined and rough around the edges. Am I the only one?

Totally disagree about Prada L’Homme. It’s pretty easy going and mass appealing. Not challenging at all. I’m maybe a little bored of it after so many years, but I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like it on me. Other than that, I agree with most everything else you said.

Give the man his xerjoff guide 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Xerjoff bro. Let’s do this

Omar is officially the biggest Prada l'Homme hater 🤣🤣🤣. I'm a fan of Prada l'homme, however I agree with Omar on a few facts about this fragrance: - Prada l'Homme can be polarizing because of the way the Iris is blended ( because it leans feminine for a men fragrance) - I don't think that Prada l'homme is a classic on a same level as Dior Homme Original - Prada l'Homme intense is the best flanker in the line. Best Alternative to Prada l'Homme imo : - As a masculine daily Iris fragrance I prefer way more Prada "Infusion d'Iris cèdre". it is more masculine and woody, versatile and smell really natural. This one is the niche brother / Private collection of Prada l'Homme and it even more office friendly than Prada l'Homme. It give me Acqua Di Parma Oud vibes but with Iris mandarine orange. And on websites like notino you can find it really cheap (around 100€ instead of 180€ retail price)

Would be cool if you did on 10 Fragrances you actually WOULD like to see a flanker of, in a time where there's so many flankers, which do you feel actually deserve some?

Here for the comments crying about how fragrance reviewers are oppressing them by making them like or hate certain fragrances

30 days until the Xerjoff guide

Il taken the prada lhomm off your hands if you don't want it 😊

Salty Swede here disagreeing with Terence Hughes scents only because they are no longer shipped to mainland Europe.😢

Sauvage elixir 😅??

Code Parfum smells so boring to me compared to the OG, and it doesn't last as long for me either.

Day 102 asking for xerjoff collection

Every Prada L'Homme is exceptional. Prada's Iris sweeps the Dior's hands down ! Armani Code is excellent cologne but not for kids ! Bleu de Chanel is famous for a reason ! Terre de Hermes is so geriatric ! Scrap the overpriced ones !

Take off the tom Ford on every list unless you are 45 years and older .. besides that its a good list ....

WOULD YOU CONSIDER 40 KNOTS AS A BLUE SCENT?

I have to disagree... "niche" does not mean "more complex." Niche means that a product or service specializes in a small area of the market. For example, if a DESIGNER company makes clothing accessories, Footwear, & and fragrances, then they have a broad selection of product. In contrast, a company that focuses on just fragrances has carved out their specific "niche" in the market. I'm not an expert on fragrances, but I am pretty sure that these are broad applicable economic definitions.

Memo African Leather is WAY better than Ombré Leather.

I actually pretty firmly disagree with how you define niche. A listed definition is “a specialized segment of the market for a particular kind of product or service” which leaves more than an argument to be made for cologne centric brands to be classified as niche and not exclusively as you define it

Day5 of asking schoolofscent to reply to this xerjoff guy

Day 47 of asking Omar to come to Vietnam.

Versace Eros stinks. It's smells like a chemical mess. I wore my friends a couple times and I was embarrassed by someone saying what stinks.

so you want every man to wear these ?

When are you reviewers gonna admit that hard candy is an ultra male clone? Same fragrance family? It's almost a 1 to 1 clone

I've smelt quite a bit of shit so far in my fragrance journey and have a decent little collection going. My must haves would be: 1. Dior Homme Parfum,,,,,Goat designer, so rich, so refined 2. Mercedes Benz Club Black.... best vanilla fragrance i've smelled so far (I haven't smelled spicebomb extreme yet)... 3. Encelade Marc Antoine Barrios....main note of rhubarb. Unique, but oh so sexy and smooth
