My Top 10 Beast Mode Fragrances

Source: www.pixabay.com

Hello ladies and gentleman. I hope everyone is doing fantastic. Today I am going to cover my longest lasting fragrances in my collection. Not all of these are projection monsters, but they all last a long time as at least a skin scent. Let's get into it!


10. Perry Ellis 360 Red


Considering this is a citrus based fragrance, it is quite impressive to find it on this list. This spicy ADG clone gives me around 8-9 hours with a good 2-3 hours of projection. It's synthetic, but it smells great and it's super cheap and long lasting.


9. Parfums de Marly Herod

Soucre: www.fragrantica.com

This warm blend of tobacco, vanilla, and spices gives me around 8-9 hours. I hear it was reformulated though. I am not sure what batch I have because it's just a decant. I am still putting it on here because I think it's a newer formulation.


8. Mont Blanc Individuel


This is the first time I have spoken on this one. As you can tell, I have used quite a bit of it. This freshly laundered fragrance gives me about 8-9 hours with a good 3 hours of projection. One of my better dumb reaches for the cooler months. Sometimes I wear one spray in the summer as well.


7. Bvlgari Aqva Amara


This orange and incense bomb gets me around 9+ hours. It's one of those fragrances that you either love or you hate though. Personally, I love it. It projects well for at least 3 hours as well.


6(Tie). Azarro Chrome Legend


I get around 9-10 hours with this fresh and metallic green apple and tea bomb. Really great performance for a freshie. It's synthetic, but it smells amazing. One of my favorite summer fragrances.


6(Tie). Dior Sauvage


The much loved and hated Sauvage is a great performer. Clocking in around 9-10 hours on my skin. 1-2 sprays is all it takes folks, don't overspray or you will make everyone around you hate you.



5.  Penhaligon's LP No 9

This clove heavy fragrance lasts a long time. I get 9-10 hours with 3-4 of projection. A great holiday fragrance that I have covered a few times on my blog.


4. Bentley for Men Intense


This smoky, leathery, and rum bomb is super strong. I get around  10 hours on my skin with 3-4 of projection. A great fragrance for the price. It's one that you either love or hate.


3. Alexandria Fragrances Mr. Sillage


A great tribute to a great man. I get around 10 hours with this one with 3-4 of projection. It could possibly be longer than that, but I might be nose blind to it.


2. Genre Parfums Noble Soul


This inspiration of By Killian's Black Phantom gives me about 11 hours and 3-4 hours of projection. This stuff is potent. You might not smell it for that long, but it is there. Great juice for $25.


1. Bond No 9 The Scent of Peace

"Wait, John...You said in your initial review that you got 8 hours out of this...What?". That is what I thought...until I wore it on a warmer day recently and received a compliment 12 hours after applying it. I misjudged how long this one lasts and I apologize for that. So, this one lasts at least 12 hours and it smells amazing. That juniper and pineapple are so beautiful. Amazing for a fresh fragrance.


Thank you for tuning in, folks! I hope you enjoyed this one! Be sure to hit that blue follow button at the right to support my work. Until next time, keep smelling great!

  1. Great review. I need Noble Soul! I haven't tried the scent of peace but hear great things. Crazy how sometimes olfactory fatigue sets in.

    1. Yes, that is why we have to ask if others can smell it as well. Scent of Peace is amazing. I love it. Noble Soul is a banger for the price as well.

  2. Oudh 36 Nuit is the strongest fragrance that I've ever smelled. I'm waiting on my bottles of Mr. Sillage to mature

    1. I don't know of Oudh 36 Nuit, but usually any oud fragrances is a powerhouse. I don't have many ouds right now. It's something that I need to explore more.

      Yeah, I had to wait on Mr. Sillage to mature as well. I got mine in the fresh batch on release.

    2. Lol Oudh 36 Nuit has 36 to 48 hour longevity. Surprisingly people liked it. I also have a 2013 bottle of Oud Ispahan that is frighteningly strong. Amber Absolute is too strong and La Yuqawam. I like strong fragrances but these are ridiculous. I got the second batch of Mr. Sillage I hope it gets stronger.

    3. Mine had to sit for about 3 weeks before it started to take form. The Myrrh would die off easily and leave a balsamic mess. Now it has been sitting for a like 4 months and I wore it again and it evolved way beyond what it was when I wore it last. It changed so much that I will review it again soon.

      Yeah, most oud based fragrances are monsters. Even the synthetic ones.
