Meet Topper Schroeder: Hollywood’s King Of Cologne!

Topper Schroeder is the man who makes Hollywood smell good -- the stars love him  -- so that puts him on Radar’s “One To Watch” list!

The affable (and ageless) Schroeder created the Gendarme fragrance line back in 1983 for purely selfish reasons -- he simply wanted to wear a cologne that didn’t irritate his skin. He soon found that many others, including some of Hollywood’s biggest names, also loved the light and fresh scent, which laid the foundation for what would blossom into a hugely successful enterprise.

Attraction Scents for Him

The ladies tell it like it is. To them, Gendarme just smells clean and a little like "nudity -- which is a good thing." See how the women on FOX 69 describe a great smelling guy.

Gendarme is a tension tamer

Feeling a little tense? Need to relax and get back to yourself in the moment? Try sniffing men's cologne; according to Woman's World magazine it is the number one way to put you in the right frame of mind.

"Most men's fragrances contain vetiver, a woodsy scent used in aromatherapy to induce calm!" the weekly mag points out. Gendarme is a great example that they suggest asking for at the mall fragrance counter. Or better yet spray some on your favorite hunk and snuggle in. More from this issue of "Woman's World."

LL Cool J discusses brownies

Sitting down in Rachael Ray's kitchen, the conversation is going to center around great food. And when fitness celebrity and Gendarme Ambassador LL Cool J came to the kitchen, he spoke a little about loving food but maintaining moderation and diciplin.

"We all basically know the rules to the game," he told Rachael about indulging on sweets - brownies being his favorite. "It's about being able to put those mental handcuffs on," he said about indulging in comfort food.

One thing you can absolutely indulge on is achieving your personal best in both fitness and appearance. LL then went on to talk about Gendarme and how is a stable in his wardrobe. Fragrance is a key component in how you present yourself to the world and Gendarme presents itself as a clean, crisp, wearable scent warn by confident individuals.

Dreams don't have deadlines

For the "Men of Style" in your life LL COOL J suggests Gendarme fragrance. Of course, he is the product's official Ambassador and a huge fan. But for LL, the power of Gendarme is more than just his signature crisp scent. It was part of a dream to be part of a brand he loved. The author, TV & movie star, singer, father, husband, and business man says there's still a lot to be done in his life, many dreams still to be fulfilled. But that's the great thing about dreams, they have no deadlines.

"I am extremely impressed with the hands on approach."

Called this morning and spoke to a very nice man, who if I'm not mistaken, said this was his company. I told him I had seen LL Cool J on television promoting this fragrance. He asked where I was calling from and commented on what a nice man LL was. He said he was going to have a little something extra placed with my order and thanked me for calling. If this was the owner of the company, I am extremely impressed with the hands on approach. I can't wait to get my order to see if I've finally found the perfect scent. Thank you.

"Just the whiff of it makes me happy"

I found Gendarme years ago at a high end men's store near Franklin, TN. I bought it for my husband and soon swiped it from him.... I have been in love with it for probably ten years.... I have a hard time finding it here in Nashville, TN but had discovered a year ago I can order it direct. I can't imagine life without Gendarme....for some reason it lifts my spirits and just the whiff of it makes me happy. to me, there has never been a fragrance made that can smell as great as Gendarme.  I laughingly told one
of your associates one time that if God has a fragrance this is what I believe He would smell like. It's PURE is how I will define it.  I am not the kind of person who ever writes a testimonial about a product but this is different....LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, my Gendarme.
