Cheap cologne gets a bad rap—sorry, Drakkar Noir—but Nautica’s coastal option proves that drugstore options can hold their own. It’s earned a cult following for its subtle, fresh, long-lasting scent that smells way more expensive than $20. Instead of...
Best Affordable: Nautica Voyage 3.4 oz. - € 55
A classic through and through, Acqua di Giò is a fresh, coastal fragrance that’s masculine without being too heavy; close your eyes and the blend of bergamot and neroli will transport you to some quiet Italian seaside town. Although it practically sc...
Best Overall: Armani - ACQUA DI GIÒ 50ml - € 75
This signature fragrance from YSL is masculine through and through but with a thoughtful edge that keeps it from becoming one-note. (Fittingly, its ambassador is Lenny Kravitz.) This is the boldest and most sultry scent in my collection, and probably...
Best Designer: YSL Y Eau De Parfum - 100ml YSL - € 140
A go-to for royals like Kate Middleton, London-based perfumer Jo Malone makes some of the freshest scents on the market. And the best option for men is Wood Sage & Sea Salt, a coastal pick that evokes a breezy day by the water. Woody and a little...
Best Fresh: Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne - € 150
This newly released scent is my current obsession; it’s juicy and alive but still sophisticated. For a luxury fragrance, it’s priced fairly, especially considering that each spritz lasts forever and has an impressive throw. I once used it as makeshif...
Most Long-Lasting: HERMÈS - H24 Herbes Vives Eau de Parfum - € 145
Few fragrances are as iconic as CK One, a unisex scent that’s been a bestseller since it was first launched 30 years ago. If it’s been a minute since you’ve owned a bottle, don’t worry—it’s just as clean and alluring today as it was back in high scho...
Best on Amazon: Calvin Klein One - 100ml - € 65
What more needs to be said about Sauvage? So popular that it’s available in a whopping 10-oz. refill, Dior’s trademark spicy, woody scent smells, to my nose, like the most perfect distillation of masculinity. Use it as an everyday scent or as an inst...
Best Classic: Dior - Sauvage Eau de Parfum - € 110
In the realm of designer fragrances, Tom Ford occupies perhaps the sexiest perch. (Sorry, Creed and Burberry.) While there are plenty of scents to choose from, the brand’s beloved Ombré Leather is a great entryway into its sultry world; notes of leat...
Most Seductive: TOM FORD - Ombré Leather Eau de Parfum - 50ml - € 190
D.S. & Durga’s Steamed Rainbow takes a gimmick premise—one note for each letter of ROYGBIV—and turns it into something magical, a fresh scent with the distinct aroma of water vapor. I can only describe this scent as wet, but in the best way possi...
Most Unexpected: D.S. & DURGA - Steamed Rainbow - 50ml - € 190
