somehow i have amassed knowledge of several wrestlers' fragrance choices and i thought it might be interesting to other people in the venn diagram overlap of wrestling and perfume
El Desperado - Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême by Chanel
Woody Aromatic/Aromatic Musk
Mandarin, cypress, musk, tonka bean
"Its intense and carnal character evokes a man on the move, someone unstoppable."
Fun fact: also worn by Justin McElroy.
Source: he showed the bottle on a livestream
Jay White - Stronger With You by Armani
Amber Fougere (reads like more of an Oriental to me and definitely didn't smell herbal or green but I guess the lavender/sage are in there)
Pink peppercorn, lavender, sage, chestnut, amber, vanilla
"... a confident elegance, with the easy nonchalance of youth."
(he could have been referring to one of the flankers of this EdT, I believe they're relatively similar)
Source: he mentioned it during an online signing session
Minoru Suzuki - Eau de Minthé by Diptyque
Patchouli, geranium, mint, rose oxide
He has also worn Bay Rum by C. O. Bigelow (bay leaf, citrus, spices)
Shota Umino - Snow Fairy by Lush
Cotton candy, cherry, vanilla, pear
Chris Charlton and Walker Stewart often talked on commentary about how good Shota Umino smelled when he'd walk past them, to quote Chris 'like Dr. Pepper'
Chris Brookes - American Cream by Lush
Vanilla, milk, benzoin, lavender
for some reason the Lush website subtitles this 'awesome strawberry and vanilla' but if there's strawberry in there it is imperceptible
To me on the blotter this leaned heavily sweet plasticky vanilla with a suggestion of lavender, like if in 2003 they'd made a vanilla lavender-scented gel pen
apparently Kosei Fujita wears a Jo Malone fragrance but sadly I don't know which one* :( if you know of any other wrestler perfumes please tell me!
*taking this opportunity to give a PSA, while I have enjoyed other Jo Malone fragrances I sampled Nectarine Blossom and Honey and then spent a panicked ten minutes trying to find somewhere to throw the blotter paper away and wash my hands, to me it was the worst of coriander/cilantro plus a damp sports towel you left in a gym bag for three weeks, just awful. Others enjoy it apparently so ymmv but BE CAREFUL.
