No one's mentioned this one yet, but I hear Mazzolari Lui could be quite the alpha male scent.

fahrenheit = too floral

m7 = too sweet.

alpha men do not need to sweeten themselves so they are more likable

A true Alpha male wears whatever he wants to.
post #83 of 148
A real alpha would not discuss fragrance choices on the internet as he is to busy sitting on top of the hill, keeping an eye on his females and sneaky betas.
post #84 of 148
Havana Reserva
Rive Gauche PH

No, when you are Alpha the beta isn't a threat, he's staff.

He may not be a threat yet but females do sneak off with them apparently. I've seen it on David Attenborough

Why?

Mazzolari Lui doesn't need a reason. Deal with it. *Nasal pig snort*

Alpha male as in Brave New World alpha?

Is this another thread for people to answer "Kouros"?

Balenciaga PH (Godfather-vintage Brando)

Hermes Bel Ami (Elvis Presley)

YSL PH (YSL)

Gendarme (Arnold Schwarzenegger as governor)

Alpha males don't need perfumes, their body odour is enough in order to lead as well as assuring reproduction.

Only beta males use fragrances...
post #105 of 148
Someone should create a men's fragrance called "Alpha."

Remember, you heard the idea here first.

For me it is Dior Fahrenheit and Carons 3eme. They just both smell like a man should wear them

Tabarome Millesime

I wear Trussardi Uomo
post #112 of 148
There are four distinct possibilities.

The first: Obsession for Men. The scent is proven to attract lions, tigers, jaguars . . . I'd say the man who still wears this Calvin Klein classic is broadcasting his inner animal on a few primal levels.

The second: Kouros. Chandler Burr dislikes it, so there's definitely something macho going on there. Plus, it's obvious this is alpha juice to anyone who sniffs it.

The third: Pour un Homme de Caron. Do any of the guys in these ads look like sissies to you? Trust me, it's more than just advertising, the juice is timeless, totally masculine, right to the point.

The fourth: Green Irish Tweed. I don't have a link for it, but I don't need one, and I'm not sorry.

"Alpha Male" have different meanings, so define what it is.

Kilian Hennessey said once that his older generation always wore Eau Sauvage.

Bernard Arnaul also swears on Eau Sauvage. His favorite brand is generally Christian Dior.

Olivier Creed said that he never wears fragrances, because he doesn´t want to smell like other people.

The Spanish Royal family also wears Knize Ten.

You get different answers, so you know that every alpha male is a human being and has different tastes.

Amouage Gold, Invasion Barbare, Obsession for Men, Knize Ten, Habit Rouge...Any classic scent may be something for an alpha male.

Hmm. I have all of these plus a lot of the other suggestions. What does this mean? Should I go on "The Apprentice?"
post #119 of 148
Antaeus and Kouros are first two that come to mind (I've never smelled Kouros-- based on reputation alone).
SL MKK also?

You'll all be glad to know I have since learned how to use multiquote button. *bow*
