First FIVE Fragrances A Man Should Own
About this video
Centeno recommends five essential fragrances for men to start their collection, covering different scent families: aquatic (fresh, versatile), oriental spicy (warm, date-appropriate), barber shop (classic, clean), citrus with floral (sophisticated), and gourmand (sweet, intoxicating). For each category, he provides both premium and budget-friendly options to suit different preferences and price points.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that a well-rounded fragrance collection should include different scent families rather than similar-smelling options
- Centeno recommends starting with an aquatic fragrance like Acqua di Gio as a versatile, safe first purchase, with budget alternatives like Davidoff Cool Water under $20
- Centeno suggests each fragrance category serves different occasions—aquatics for everyday/office, oriental spicy for dates, barber shop scents for classic styling, citrus for spring/summer, and gourmands for clubbing
