[Pippin06]

Anyone remember this beer commercial? This is of course strictly for fun. What fragrance do you think "The Most Interesting Man in the World" would wear?

I love this choice! Perfect!

 

[Pippin06]

I'm nowhere near as interesting as this guy--and I love aramis!

 

[Dorje123]

It's Kouros. Stay stinky my friends!

 

[cacio]

I don't watch TV, so I would have thought this to be a serious ad from the 60s, not a more recent semi-tongue in cheeck thing. Anyway, both suggestions are great, Aramis would be right from the era. And Kouros gives the right vibe.

 

[LL Cool Spray]

If he was truly the most interesting man in the world, he would have an fully-loaded wardrobe, but I could see him wearing a classic from the 60s-80s like the ones already mentioned. I'll add Versace l'homme.

 

[Zenwannabee]

Well, since Aramis has already been chosen, we’ll take leather in another classic direction and say:

 

[baklavaRuzh]

I was going to suggest bel ami too. But to make things interesting, I'll suggest the recent caravanserail by parfums de Nicolaï. Spicy and dry with just the right intensity.

 

[Jean-Clone Ellena]

Even though Dos Equis is a Mexican beer owned by the (Dutch) Heineken group, I see the most interesting man in the world wearing Cuba by Czech & Speake (first version - 2002 - original cologne, please).
I love the suggestions of Aramis, Kouros, Bel Ami but they may be a bit too much for rather hot and wet environments.

Do you know that there is a new version starring the French Augustin Legrand?

I see Monsieur Legrand also using Cuba. But the EdP version of 2021 (God forgive them).

I have never seen this commercial yet. He would have worn Havana.

 

[Diddy]

Come on, peeps! This is a layup, on a kiddy goal, with nobody defending…. @hednic would wear Gengis Khan.

I havent seen this commercial either. I definetely vote for the older one. I find the other gentleman much more interesting as personality and way more attractive than the second one . For Monsieur Legrand i would suggest Aventus.

I have a few:

Kouros
Paco Rabanne
Chanel Antaeus
Genghis Khan

It needs to be aromatic and a little on the wild side.

 

[Pippin06]

I have never seen this commercial yet. He would have worn Havana.

Good call. Havana was my initial thought too, before going with aramis.

 

[PrinceRF]

I loved those commercials - so funny. I think he would have worn something like Bois du Portugal.

Guerlain Derby

 

[Ken_Russell]

Apart from the obvious irony/humor of these commercials and their main character, since various masculine classics were mentioned, tending to second especially Versace l'Homme, Bois du Portugal, Derby.
And to also add mainly Gucci Nobile and/or the initial 1970s Gucci, same with Drakker before the Noir flanker ever became big, vintage Trussardi Uomo, Bogart Furyo, Esencia Loewe, Davidoff Relax as well as the 1984 first masculine Davidoff fragrance, Dunhill Edition as hypothetical signature scents of his.

 

[Pippin06]

This interview with "The Most Interesting Man in the World" just came up on my Youtube feed. It's pretty good.

 

[Mark_Trail]

It's Kouros. Stay stinky my friends!

[Italia]

The Most Interesting Man in the World would have to wear

and to quote Billy Crystal's Fernando Lamas character, he smells mahvelous!

 

[BiliousBetil]

My only answer to any question like this: Acqua di Parma Colonia.

Cheers!

 

[Opiate]

I’ve actually thought about this before lol.

I always envisioned him wearing something on the more subtle side, like an Italian style EDC.
But a really well made one that most people have never heard of.

That's great that you thought about this before. It was such a wonderfully entertaining ad campaign.

 

[Dealt_It]

The original Brut, from back when sex was safe and perfumes were dangerous.

Excellent point.

 

[tripler]

I believe he wears Santos de Cartier, which complements his yellow gold Tank watch and announces his entrance into the room with a dashing juniper and galbanum potion.

That dashing beard of yours reminds me of "The Most Interesting Man in the World!"

 

[Hugh V.]

As much as I myself like some of these fragrances (Aramis and Santos in particular), I think both are too challenging and/or strong for his casual coolness. I can see him wearing something totally unpretentious and classic like Brut, but then again, that's also way too common for "the most interesting man in the world." It's also too much on the strong side, imo. In fact, I don't see him wearing traditional barbershops.

I think Trussardi Uomo is a great suggestion. It's pretty challenging in of itself, but when I've smelled it on others, it's pretty smooth, yet masculine. It's something that wasn't quite as well-known as Kouros or Drakkar Noir, but not something that was unaffordable or out-of-reach for the average person.

 

[Sultan al Hindi]

The most interesting man in the world wouldn't only wear sprays, but rather the most interesting attars too ( to keep it interesting ofc). Therefore, my pick would be:

Sultan pashas Fougere Noire- probably the greatest fougere in oil format imo.Its an aromatic mossy green, with exhilarating citruses and a sprinkle of spice in the drydown. Perfect for the outdoorsman or the man in a crisp white shirt.A head turner for sure.
