Cologne Recommendations
These are popular recommendations from me and my friends on men’s colognes. Some of these, I am a repeat buyer of them. Can you guess which on? 🎁
Here is sample of some colognes if you are just getting started and do not know what you like without wasting a bunch of money. It’s also a good recommendation for young men.
Infinite Scents Men's Cologne Samples - 12
This is an edgy cologne with bergamot. It’s top rated by most buyers.
Men's Fragrances: Cologne For Men | Mugler Official Site
This is one of my favorite colognes, hands down! 🎁 I love the way this smells and so does my wife. It was one of the first colognes I smelt as a teen and immediately wanted to own it. This is great item to your collection.
Jean Paul Gaultier Men's "LE MALE" Eau de Toilette Spray, 6.8 oz.
This is another of my favorite colognes. 🎁 I like it because it has sweet scent, very attractive and strong. Plus, red is my favorite color. Lol.
Polo Red - Ralph Lauren - Sephora
This cologne is also one of my faves, but very strong! 🎁 You do not need to spray a lot on you for people to get the picture. This is a very popular cologne, and I noticed a lot of men wearing this as well.
Sauvage: the world of the iconic Dior fragrance for men | DIOR US
Another good cologne from my personal collection and the second from the YSL brand. 🎁 I like it for its strong musk scent but not over the top by means.
La Nuit De L'Homme Eau De Toilette Spray - YSL Beauty
This is one of my favorites as well my wife’s faves for me too. It is the first cologne from YSL that I really love. It’s a repeat in my collection behind Jean Paul Le Male. 🎁
YSL Y Cologne - Men's Fragrance Collections
This is a decent cologne if you are not looking for something too expensive with a very masculine scent. I have gotten this a few times and is in my collection today still. 🎁
Bourbon Cologne - Mens
If you like Gucci, you’re guilty. Lol. This is a good recommendation and highly regarded by one of my friends.
Gucci Guilty Pour Homme Eau de Toilette
This cologne from Versace is one of the most highly popular ones I repeatedly come across. Not bad a pick for some.
Versace Men's Eros Eau de Toilette Spray, 6.7 oz.
This is the other Versace cologne that is highly popular. I got a sample of this recently. My wife wasn’t a fan, but I liked it.
Eros Flame - Versace
This was probably one of my first colognes ever, and I received it as a gift. I enjoyed it. I don’t think you could go wrong with this one!
Acqua di Gio Men's Fragrance | Giorgio Armani Beauty
This is a pricey one but a “can’t go wrong with this one.”
Fragrances
For my Tom Ford fans, this is a recommendation from one of my buddies.
TOM FORD Oud Wood Eau de Parfum Fragrance
One of my boys recommended this, and he always stays fresh! Check it out!
Oud Fragrance - Macy's
Feeling a little upscale? Try this one out!

Creed had been pretty popular lately, and this cologne is the main reason.

Another Burberry cologne that was female-recommended.
Introducing Burberry Hero
Female-recommended, and I would say give it a try.
Moschino Fragrances
I think this one of first colognes that I tried that was strong but really liked. I’m thinking about getting this again! 🎁
Davidoff Cool Water for Men Eau de Toilette Spray, 6.7 oz
Highly recommended from a female friend of mine. She said, “TRUST ME!”
Club De Nuit Untold
Just got this cologne (May 2025), and this cologne is nice! It’s smooth but strong. Not too sweet, but very appealing. It could be a potential favorite of mine. It’s a little pricey but worth it!
Marco Philip Milano Vincitori Eau de Parfum
Face Care
Products I like that are good for a man’s face
Absolutely one of the best toners out there and rated highly as healthy to use
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner
It’s the main shave butter I use for many years now. It almost feels like lotion. The shaves are pretty clean with it especially with a single blade razor or Gillette Fusion razors.
Dollar Shave Club Shave Butter - Unscented - 6 fl oz
Hands down are the best razors! Outside of a single blade razor, I love this product and have been using it for over 20 years!
Fusion5 (1 Handle + 4 Refill Blades)
I started using this product last year from Target. It has tea tree oil in it which helps treat razor bumps and irritation within 24 hours. I use this in conjunction with the Bevel shave cream sometimes.
Bevel Men's Post Shave Balm, Alcohol-Free with Tea Tree Oil - 4 fl oz
After the Dollar Shave Club shave butter, I recommend this shave cream. It’s smooth and doesn’t get too foamy, just creamy enough for the shave.
Bevel Men's Shave Cream, Moisturizing with Vitamin E and Aloe Vera - 4 fl oz
This product is becoming one of my favorites because it almost totally natural. It’s good for your skin and has a top rating on the Yuka app, an app used to let consumers know if there are harmful chemicals in the product.

Can’t go wrong with a good ol’ bottle of Carmex. This is works every time and immediately for me when my lips are dry.
Carmex Lip Balm
For your that guy who has facial hair that you love and want to see it flourish, get this kit for him. I’m using it and love the just about every product I’ve gotten from Bevel.

Items and actions you can do for a man to help take care of their body
This is the best lotion I have tried ever! Period! It moisturizes without having to put too many coats of it on. It is related high on the Yuka app for recommendation and its healthy ingredients.
@gift_evans | 58 views | 3 comments • 🧵Reviewing Shea Butter Body Lotion 100% Pure from PLANTORIA PURE
This good for repairing the skin from scars or marks on the skin. My wife put me on to it.
Bio-Oil®
If there was only a brand that was dedicated to me to groom their bodies better! Wait, there is! Manscaped is the leading brand in male grooming. They have a variety of products that complement one another and help guys feel and look their best.
Manscaped.com
This product is good especially for those who use those bath scrounges that unravel after a few baths.
The Body Scrubber
A friend of mine told me about this product, and I’ve been hooked. It’s highly
durable and lathers pretty well.
