What's up guys I'm Brian Sacawa, you're watching He Spoke Style and today we're talking about five fragrances that are perfect for this time of year. Alright if you've ever seen any of the fragrance stuff I've done on the He Spoke Style website or previously on the channel, you know that I like to say that the final detail of any outfit is the fragrance that you wear. I think you should put the same amount of thought into the fragrance you choose as say the way you tie or tie or the way you fold your pocket square. Fragrance is like this intangible thing that can be mysterious and intriguing and it has this ability to sort of take you from like this level up to this level. Now a couple of weeks ago I did a holiday party lookbook, we have a New Year's Eve lookbook coming up soon and I was thinking about some of the fragrances that I would pair with these looks and that's what we're going to be talking about today. Enough talking let's get right to it. First up is an all-time classic, this is of course Ralph Lauren, Polo Green. There's so many different Polo Cologne's blue, red, black, sport, rush, intense, whatever. None of them in my opinion even come close to the classic Polo Green. Just so you know I'm not a fragrance expert or a fragrance geek. I consider myself more of a fragrance enthusiast, I know what I like and how it makes me feel but sometimes it's kind of hard for me to say it's kind of hard for me to place a particular note or aspect of the fragrance so please bear with me as we go through describing each of these Cologne's. So with Polo Green you're definitely getting a hit of pine and fur and leather and tobacco. It's very earthy and woody and overall just an extremely masculine scent but not masculine in like overpowering but just very old school classic elegant man. Next is a new one by Tom Ford, this is called Ombre Leather. I have several Tom Ford scents and smelling this one I can tell you that it is unmistakably Tom Ford. What do I mean by that? What I mean is that this just smells very very sexy. That's what I'm talking about. There's like this intangible thing and a distinct feature of many Tom Ford fragrances is that kind of smell. The leather note in this one is extremely prominent. If you had to sort of categorize a fragrance in like a low frequency mid range and high frequency this one would slot in as about a mid range though there are some kind of like higher notes to it as well. This is actually a very powerful fragrance in the seaage or staying power is very strong. If you put this on it will easily last throughout the day and into the night so no need to reapply. Next is original sand tall by Creed. With the name like original sand tall you would think that you would get an overwhelming note of sandalwood but the sandalwood in this fragrance is very very subtle. I'm a big fan of Creed fragrances and this is a really really good one and like a lot of Creed fragrances I'm thinking of royal ood in particular you don't get that overwhelming burst of what you would think and there are some mildly sweeter notes to it which I think is again is very typical. On my skin as it dries down I get a little bit more of the woodiness. Seaage is decent this is a very good casual every day no nonsense fragrance but it does have that elegance about it that I think you find throughout the Creed line that makes it also very appropriate for some kind of special occasion. Alright this is non-bon by Archeese this is a super super special fragrance in one of my absolute all time favorites. One thing I really love about Archeese as a brand is that they really understand how evocative a fragrance can be and that is reflected in the descriptions of each fragrance in their lines. So I'm just going to read to you the description of non-bon straight from the Archeese website. January 1618 a Japanese galleon the Pacific Ocean following a diplomatic mission to the west a galleon carrying a delegation of samurai charges through the dark ocean currents. Loaded with a rare and precious cargo the ship's hull is redolent of sweet smelling tropical woods. Heady Spanish leather frankincense fine black pepper and other exotic ground spices the intoxicating spirit of a singular extraordinary voyage of discovery. I mean that is all you need to know about this fragrance I think just by listening to that you can already smell it non-bon is an absolute powerhouse it is strong it has amazing projection it's very unique you know you don't smell this very often and you will definitely stand out in a good way. If you are wearing it. Lastly we have here pan-hologens sartorial perfect name for menswear guys and that is on purpose. This fragrance is supposed to evoke the feeling and smells of an old-time tailor shop or bespoke telly a this fragrance is based on a classic fuzier a fuzier will have notes of oak moss, Tonka bean and lavender this is a modern take on that it does have some woody notes to it. A little bit of spice some musk very subtle leather there's sort of like a vanilla ish scent but it's very much in the background not overpowering or cluing this to me just smells very sophisticated and and hey with a name like sartorial I feel like it's a very good match for guys like you and me who like to dress well.
