Chicago Bulls Star Andre Drummond Shares His Sense of Scents With New Business Venture

Andre Drummond's love for fragrance extends beyond the basketball court, making him a player in the world of colognes that demands attention – not just for his game but also for the unique scents he brings to the table.

Known for his commanding presence on the basketball court, Chicago Bulls player Andre Drummond is making a name for himself in another arena – the world of fragrances. The NBA star is more than just a casual collector; he’s a connoisseur with a passion for fine scents and a unique approach to using them. In an Oct. 31 report by PEOPLE, Drummond opens up about his love for fragrances and his partnership with Scentbird to curate a collection of his favorite colognes for consumers.

“I really believe in that moment of walking by somebody and having them say, ‘Wow, you smell really good.’ It’s a scent memory any time anyone sees me because I smelled good. I want people to remember me,” Drummond shares, emphasizing the lasting impact of a great fragrance.

For his “Pro Picks” collection, Andre Drummond selected fragrances that resonate with him in his daily life, including brands like Versace and Chris Collins. Notably, Versace holds a special place in his heart, as he wore it during the 2012 NBA draft when he was selected by the Detroit Pistons. The scent is tied to that pivotal moment in his career, and he still wears it to evoke that memory.

Drummond is unapologetically devoted to smelling good, donning cologne for every occasion, be it practice, games, a night out, running errands, or anything in between. In fact, he’s so dedicated to his olfactory quest that he’s been known to experiment with mixing colognes to craft his unique, signature scent.

“I’ve got a good system of what works together and what doesn’t,” Drummond says, acknowledging that finding the perfect combination wasn’t without its trials and errors. Currently, he’s favoring a blend of Chris Collins African Rooibos and Versace Bright Crystal, creating a “sweet, clean scent” that endures throughout the day.

However, in his quest for the perfect fragrance mix, Drummond has also had his share of mishaps, leading to unpleasant concoctions. In those moments, he doesn’t hesitate to hit the shower to wash off the undesirable scents.
