In some ways (mainly that impossible to spell last name) Giannis Antetokounmpo isn’t the first name you’d think of to front a fragrance, but then again the Greek Freak is a frontrunner for NBA MVP this season so it’s probably best to get on the Giannis train right now.


2K players know.


STR8 is a Greek fragrance brand, and aside from hailing from the same place as the Bucks’s star man, it’s been a mainstay in Europe for over a decade. Does it have Eurostep-like smoothness as well? We tested out the "Rise" out of their seven scents and here are our quick notes:



1. It has nice hefty packaging, which makes you feel nice about it before you even use it.


2. It doesn’t flood the room with the scent when you apply it. This subtlety is good.


3. It smells like a man’s perfume, it just does in that way that all dude’s understand. That makes it a great daily.


So for the budding Giannis superfan starter pack or just someone who wants to try out a new accessible scent, this is a worthwhile addition to your gym bag. 


Available at Watsons and SM Stores nationwide.
