I am 63, and I wear anything from Sauvage, Aqua Di Gio Profumo, Eros, Dylan Blue, Guerlain Vetiver, Azzaro Wanted by Night, Bleu De Chanel, Issey Miyake Pulse of The Night, John Varvatos Artisan Pure, and many more. I get complimented quite often, and at work I'm known as the guy who always smells nice, so that ain't bad.
I agree with everything on your list. I will add the following as also great options. 1. Dior Fahrenheit Parfum 2. Tom Ford Fougere D'Argent 3. Chanel Sycomore 4. Guerlain Vetiver 5. Aramis EDT And last, but certainly not least A vintage bottle of YSL Kouros. You must have hair on your chest to pull it off but it's absolutely a must have if you're over 40.

Cool Water is TRASH. Why even recommend it!?!? EW!!! Just recommend Tres Nuit and be done with it! Cool Water was the only fragrance i took a shower and scrubbed to get rid of. HAHAHA
Nice list. As an older gent I own all but one. I'm not a fan of Sauvage, give me Eau Sauvage any day. I typically reach for Bleu De Chanel for a blue fragrance. That said I really don't care for overly sweet fragrances either. Thanks for the content
Thanks for this video, Ashton. Great for older guys like me, you, and the others that clicked because the word older guys was in caps and bold so they could see it.
I only have TDH and I will not need you as I will be busy watching Columbo as it gets better compliments and with 10 seasons actually has better longevity than Matlock.
Would love an updated (2023) video for us older guys when you can. Maybe one scent for each season? I don't want to smell like a young man in a singles club, but I don't want to smell like I belong in a retirement community neither.
I'm 53 and wouldn't be caught dead in a singles club 🙂 I'd suggest Bleu de Chanel EDP or Parfum. A classy, smooth and refined scent that can be worn year around and in any occasion.
I got 2 out of the top 10: Eau Sauvage (a classic) Terre d'Hermes EDT (finishing 2nd bottle very soon). Love this perfume, as it is very versatile, and I got compliments.
Yep on Guerlain Vetiver. High up on the list of this 60 year old. I would also add Creed Royal Oud. Ralph Lauren Polo Green is my favorite scent of all, and I consider it to be the best representation of the ideal "scent of a man". And if that is true, Royal Oud represents that man if he were to be coronated as a King.
I’m 51. It just so happens that I am wearing Terre D’hermes for the first time ever. I don’t really care for the opening that much, but the dry down is unique and very enjoyable.
IMO, there is no way one could recommend the metallic Sauvage Parfum over Bleu de Chanel EDP or Parfum for an older gentmlean. BDC outclasses it in every way. It's more mature, smoother and refined, while Sauvage is a metallic parfum the screams look at me.
As an old school alternative to the old school vetiver in Terre De Hermes there is always Guerlain Vetiver. I have never gotten a bad remark wearing it, it lasts literally for days, and it's relatively cheap. I have had people think I am wearing insect repellent when I have on TdH numerous times as it can come off a little bit DEET at times. Which I like the smell of DEET but still... Of course I have found that really ALL off the frags that are from about 1970 and below are still around for a reason excluding the really cheap ones which British Sterling may be fun but it isn't gonna be a crowdpleaser. Keep it above $30 and all of the old schools are still winners.
Guerlain Vetiver is fantastic. Similar to TF Grey Vetiver but a bit more citrus and less dry. Terre d'Hermes Eau Extreme Vetiver is like halfway between Terre d'Hermes Parfum and Guerlain Vetiver.
First fragance that came to my mind when I saw the title was "Drakkar Noir", I'm shocked Ash didn't included on his list. P.S. - I'm not a Drakkar Noir fan.
I just retired at 65 and rocking most of the frags in this video! Also love youthful frags! Thanks for your content and comments about wearing what you want, when you want! Thanks Ash.
I’m 42 and rock Sauvage EDP, Coach Platinum, JPG Ultra Male, and a sweeter clone of Aventus on the regular. Haven’t come around to enjoying the more green styles. Can’t stand Cool Water. That grassy vetiver herbiness just smells… grassy. The ever so slightly herbaceousness I get from Platinum doesn’t bother me at all. Even tried Encre Noir… liked the opening but otherwise it’s a no.
Chanel Platinum Egoiste...started wearing it when I was going to my first interviews 20 years ago, and still wear it today and guess what? Yep, still works!
After going through 100+ fragrances in over 20 years of collecting, I have narrowed it down to TF Grey Vetiver for a true modern classic fresh scent and LV Ombre Nomade for all other occasions. The original 90s version of D&G pour homme was an amazing scent for the price at the time (still have a couple of unopened bottles), the current Intenso gives a similar vibe to the original but unfortunately there are noticeable differences in smell as well as performance.
Just turned 57, my favs are Luna Rossa Carbon, Mont Blanc Legend Spirit, Hanae Mori, and Varvatos Oud, which is surprisingly similiar to my old standby, Halston Z-14.
im 70 years old i wear what i like from Brut to dior savage. i even wear 1 million and everyone loves it on me. a scent is a scent and has no age rating
I'd spike Sauvage and substitute it with Bleu de Chanel EDP or Parfum. Also, Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme is a classic signature scent for all ages. My go-to is Molecule 01 or Molecule 02 with AHSEE. Either are killer combos. Also, I never got the appeal of Ter de Hermes. It smells like a rotting orange peel covered in dirt. Why would anyone want to walk around smelling like that... oy...
I’m 49 & I like wearing anything that has a clean smell to it , not a just jumped out of the shower smell . I like all of the Polo,s , Aqua di Gio , fragrances like that , clean to the smell & it’s best if you don’t wear to much of it , you want some to smell it when they walk into your bubble like 2 to 3 feet away from you that way they,ll come back or you,ll walk by someone & go into their bubble & they pick it up just for a brief moment . That’s how all fragrances should be worn & don’t forget to keep some on hand wile out & about you can buy small fragrance sample bottles for cheap just label it & spray a bit in them , you don’t want to smell like your dinner then go out for a night on the town , dig into it , put some on the tip of your finger & apply in small amounts as smell fades through out the night .
Growing older is a privilege that many never get to experience, that said at the age of 63 I really enjoy tom ford oud Wood, cdni, Varvatos Artisan, D&G Light Blue Intense for summer. Always enjoy your work 💪
Interesting list .. I don’t have Acqua Essenzialle Colonia but will be getting . I do have Acqua Di Palma Colonia and at 63 it is an easy reach . I said funny because my favorite mature Blue is Acqua Essenzialle Blue .. ( my wife would not agree , she would choose Sauvage EDP or Dylan Blue ). I agree with Terre D Hermès … I was surprised Aqua Di Gio didn’t make the cut ? Another I thought might make the list would be Mont Blanc Legend ?
I don't get the thing unless it's brut..about age limits on frag... and I just bought some green Irish tweed oils from this hair spot my wife goes to..👍😅
Hey, wait. I'm age 75. Did I hear you identify age 35 as the cut-off for "older gentlemen"? My grandsons are approaching that age. Lol. I guess that I'm stuck with Old Spice, English Leather, Hai Karate, Brut, Aramis, Canoe, and Polo, no?
I'm an old man that does not prefer:"classic, mature,gentlemanly,bossy,barbershop,etc." fragrances. I wore that sort of fragrance in my 30's and 40's. Now I tend towards sweet, spicy,fresh. I think lavender is my least favorite smell; also oak moss. PS:I hate the taste of cilantro.
This theme could use an update. At 65 I’m suddenly conscious of wearing something scents, while beautiful, don’t feel right in the wearing. I’ve a sampler package of Acqua di Parma Blue scents and a couple of them feel more timeless than, say, my Mancera collection. I’d like to hear your take on contemporary scents for the older gent.
