Best Colognes for Men 👱♂️
Finding a cologne to become a signature scent—or a few of them—is a key rite of passage in a man’s life.
With a balanced blend of bright fruity top notes and warm base notes of vetiver, sandalwood and patchouli, we particularly loved this fragrance for its versatility. It's a perfect choice for day or night, for all seasons, and for any gender. The firs...
Acqua Di Parma Colonia Refreshing Cologne
At first spray, met with the vibrant cardamom spice alongside a very short-lived alcohol smell. The cardamom and tobacco notes remained prevalent as it dried down, with a subtle sweet vanilla note revealing itself later. The warmth of this scent prof...
Cremo Spice & Black Vanilla Cologne
This cologne’s heavy leather, woody, and rich amber notes settled to reveal a touch of rose and citrus, yet is still solidly masculine. It smells like a modern take on a classic, but not in a way that will have you smelling like your dad. Three spray...
Paco Rabanne 1 Million & Invictus EDT
Fresh, bright and light: just one spritz of this scent instantly transported us to summer vacation. Three sprays from elegantly understated on the wrist will give you all day staying power from lounging by the pool during the day to dinner al fresco....
Issey Miyake L'eau D'issey Cologne
This cologne smells exactly like ordering a Black Manhattan Cocktail at a downtown jazz club on a brisk fall evening. The sophistication of this unisex scent is quiet luxury for fragrance lovers: it is well-balanced, has long staying power on the ski...
Maison Martin Margiela 'Replica' Jazz Club
While it’s important to note the intensity of this fragrance, it is not overpowering or headache-inducing; one spritz into the air and walking into it is enough to give you an all day scent. Fueled by a hit of ginger, i loved the woodsy blend balance...
Azzaro Wanted Eau de Parfum - Spicy & Woodsy
While the fragrance seemed to vary slight fabric to fabric–it smelled more woodsy on linen and wool, more citrusy on satin and polyester–the scent remained impressively present no matter where we applied.
Creed Aventus Classic Cologne 100ml
A reinterpretation of Dior’s iconic Sauvage fragrance, Elixir is a spicier and longer-lasting iteration of the favored classic. This scent is fascinating: you’re initially met with florals, spice and a pinch of citrus. As it settles, notes of lavende...
Christian Dior Sauvage Elixir Cologne
For a spicy fragrance, we loved that this cologne doesn’t immediately hit you with too much spice, thanks to the fresh notes of bergamot and lavender. As it dries down, snappy cardamom shines without being too aggressive and stays with you all evenin...
Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit De L'Homme
The hero of DIOR Homme Eau de Toilette is its Atlas cedar, apparently hand-chiseled in house, which only adds to the undeniably masculine and sensual appeal of this cologne. Buoyed by notes of patchouli and vetiver, the resulting scent experience is ...
Dior Homme Woody Cologne for Men
I feel like this is exactly what cologne should smell like; the well-balanced blend of marine, green mandarin and sage feel both fresh and traditional, while remaining decidedly masculine. The result is really a universal appeal: it smells like a bes...
GIORGIO ARMANI Acqua Di Gio Cologne
This cologne bounces between fresh and woody, hitting you with citrus, mint and a little spice before settling into a woodsy cedarwood and hints of vanilla. On skin, the intensity fades quite a bit while maintaining a strong presence that doesn’t fee...
Versace Eros - Long-lasting Fresh & Spicy
For hard-boiled fragrance buffs, Aventus’ ubiquity has catalyzed a polarizing love-it-or-hate-it binary, probably because it continues to be enormously popular for its crisp, birch-tinged, pineapple-esque zeal. I'd strongly recommend you ignore that ...
Ralph Lauren Polo - Still feels as refreshing
More realistically, though, I feel like a writer who hits all of his deadlines with zero notes from my editors, who are all very proud of me. That's exactly what it's supposed to do: turn you into the best version of yourself.
Tom Ford Beau De Jour - Gentleman's Fragrance
You can layer it with another fragrance or let it mix with your skin's natural chemistry for an oh-so-subtle effect. Some folks won’t notice a thing, others will instantly demand to know what you're wearing.
Escentric Molecules 01 - No-Fragrance Fragrance
It remains one of the best buys you can make for yourself, your partner, or your son. It's a reliable, invigorating, and head-turning masculine scent that's perfect for all scenarios and seasons—and it should be triple the price.
Hermes Terre Dhermes Eau Intense Vetiver
