Colognes That Women HATE (And Why You Should Wear Anyway!)
About this video
Centeno reviews a comprehensive collection of fragrances across multiple price points and brands, emphasizing that men should wear scents they personally enjoy rather than seeking external validation through compliments. He argues that fragrance marketing creates artificial gender constructs, discusses proper fragrance testing methods, and recommends fragrances ranging from luxury houses like Creed and Tom Ford to affordable classics like Stetson and Drakkar.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues men should prioritize wearing fragrances they love for themselves rather than seeking compliments, and that many high-end fragrances are masterpieces despite limited external praise
- Centeno contends that fragrance gendering is a marketing construct, noting all fragrances are technically unisex and men shouldn’t dismiss florals or women’s department fragrances
- Centeno recommends properly testing fragrances by allowing them time to develop through all notes rather than quick strip tests, and notes that concentration levels (EDT vs EDP vs Parfum) affect performance beyond just strength
- Centeno suggests affordable vintage fragrances like British Sterling, Canoe, and Quorum offer excellent quality and value compared to modern expensive options
