Hello, guys and gals! I hope everyone is having a wonderfully blessed and prosperous day! The sun finally decided to return to the Carolinas, so it's getting pretty hot here. I am already wanting the winter to return. Oh well, it will be here soon enough.
I decided to do another starter kit article. This one is about those everyday guys who don't want to spend a ton on fragrances, but doesn't want to go with the "Jeremy Starter Kit" with Ultra Male, Sauvage, Bleu de Chanel, and ADG Profumo. This will all be cheap and mass appealing fragrances, but they will be ones that not everyone speaks about.
This list will be quite a bit smaller than my others because I believe the everyday guy only needs a few fragrances for each situation. This list isn't for collectors. It's for people who want to get into collecting or guys that just want to smell good for every situation.
I hope you enjoy it! Let's get into it!
Pro tip: If you click the discounter link under each fragrance, it will take you to its page on the site. I am not affiliated or sponsored by any discounter in any way. I get nothing from you clicking them. I only added them to help you find them more quickly.
Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Unlimited
Main Notes: Mint, pineapple, violet, and cinnamon
Situation: Casual days in the warmer months
Price: $27.29/50ml at Fragrancenet
Boss Bottled Unlimited is pretty much a shower gel version of a white fragrance. Minty freshness with juicy pineapple, crisp violet, and spicy cinnamon fuse to make a light and playful fragrance that is a hard worker in the heat. This fragrance is pretty synthetic, but it works well for what it is. I enjoy it and I think it's a bit under the radar.
Kenneth Cole Mankind
Main Notes: Cedar, vetiver, sandalwood, pineapple, and ginger
Situation: Those 9-5s during the warmer months
Price: $26.64/100ml at Fragrancenet
Kenneth Cole isn't known to make great quality goods. I wouldn't say this is good quality either. It's probably the safest fragrance in existence. It smells nice and masculine. it's not loud and overbearing and it will last you an entire workday. For around 30 cents per ML, this is a great work scent so you won't get fragrances banned in your workplace, but you will still smell good.
Lacoste Pour Homme
Main Notes: Plum, vanilla, sandalwood, apple, rum, and cinnamon
Situation: Any date night throughout the year
Price: $24.69/100ml at Fragrancenet
Lacoste Pour Homme will always have a special place in my heart. It was one of the two fragrances that I picked up at a military PX around 10 years ago. The other one was Lacoste Style in Play. Later on, when I really started exploring fragrances, they allowed me to see that there was much more diversity than Cool Water and Avon out there and well... The rest is history.
This is a versatile date night fragrance suitable for dates all year long. I also think it's quite unique. It's a sexy fragrance without being sickly sweet. It has a certain class to it. This one will do the job without you being too overpowering. A very safe date night scent.
Scentstory 24 Gold
Main Notes: Amber, vanilla, sandalwood, and guaiac wood
Situation: Your versatile cold-weather fragrance
Price: $23.39/50ml at Fragrancebuy.ca
24 Gold is a great fragrance. It's a kalemat style fragrance with sweet spiced amber, heavy woods, and creamy vanilla. For those of you who are interested in compliments, this is my most complimented fragrance in my near 300 bottle collection. It's becoming more difficult to find, but you can still get it at Fragrancebuy.ca. This fragrance works very well as a date night fragrance, but it can also work for casual daytime wear.
Nautica Life
Main Notes: Violet, sea moss, sea salt, ginger, sage, and lavender
Situation: Gym time
Price: $12.34/100ml at Fragrancenet
Nautica Life is a pleasant smelling sporty fragrance. It's green, fresh, and a bit spicy with a few oceanic accords. The longevity is only about 4-5 hours, but that makes it good for the gym. You can do your workout, shower it off, and put something else on after. For 12 bucks, it's an easy choice.
Cremo Blue Cedar and Cypress

Situation: Cold weather 9-5s
Price: $22.99/100ml at Cremo
Cremo had a bit of hype going for a bit, but it died off. I still think they are a great company for guys who want to smell good and not break the bank. The quality in their fragrances is pretty high. Blue Cedar & Cypress is a barbershop style fragrance with citrusy lemon leaf and a gorgeous cedar note. It also has a powdery aspect to it. Regardless, this is a great scent for work in the colder weather.
Cristiano Ronaldo Legacy Private Edition

Situation: Cold-weather dates or nighttime meetings
Price: $31.19/100ml at Fragrancenet
Ronaldo Legacy Private Edition is one celebrity fragrance with amazing quality. It's a sweet semi-gourmand with maple, vanilla, tonka, and a dry and woody sandalwood with cedar. It's basically a very masculine semi-gourmand with heavy woods. It doesn't smell like food. It just has that gourmand sweetness and that is why I label it as a semi-gourmand. It's mostly a sandalwood and tonka fragrance to me. The sandalwood pops off on my skin. This is a sexy and masculine fragrance that I think most guys and gals will appreciate. It would be a great date night fragrance, but it could be used for any situation.
Conclusion
I tried to cover quite a few bases and I hope this helps you get started and not smell like everyone else. These are a great starting point to get into fragrances, or just as a fragrance to cover every situation. There are many collectors who don't even know about these fragrances and it's a shame.
I hope everyone has a fantastic day. Remember to say something positive to someone today. It doesn't cost you anything and you never know how much you can help someone.
Pray for equality and wisdom for our nation so that we all may live in peace and prosper.
