If you want to smell more unique than the average bloke, check out my recommendations below. These have fantastic longevity and projection and are guaranteed to turn heads.
A warm boozy tobacco scent, amazing projection and longevity, nothing smells quite like this.
Initio - Side Effect
Absolutely delightful, sexy and slightly animalic scent that will make you fall in love.
Atelier des Ors - Lune Feline
Similar vibes to Penhaligon's Halfeti, without the rose and oud, this one's better IMO - a head-turner.
Nishane - Papilefiko
Another fantastic boozy cinnamon-tobacco scent. I've yet to find someone that doesn't like it.
Parfums de Marly - Herod
Hands down one of the best leather scents. Amazing projection but a bit pricey.
Byredo - Sellier
Tom Ford's famous Oud Wood but better! Formal party/event vibes.
Thameen - Carved Oud
A lovely leather-rose scent, very unisex IMO.
Thameen - Rivière
Sweet boozy tobacco, very unique and attention grabbing.
Nishane - Fan Your Flames
I guarantee you, you will be the biggest head turner in the room. Very unique but definitely not for everyone, so please try before you buy. Smells like rubber.
Nasomatto - Fantomas
Opens with a pungent leather note, but be patient. The dry down is a really nice raspberry leather scent. One of the more realistic leathers out there. 2-3 sprays max as it's very strong.
Acqua di Parma - Leather
A lovely citrusy oud. Opens quite fresh, you can definitely use this on a colder spring day as well. Very mass-appealing.
Acqua di Parma - Oud
Quite a formal smelling one, maybe more mature. An excellent patchouli and incense smell.
Frederic Malle - Monsieur
The perfect rose and oud combo, one of the rare rose scents I can tolerate. Projects quite well on me.
Penhaligon's - Halfeti
Heavy rose-oud, special occasion kind of scent. A bit more mature and unisex.
Tom Ford - Noir de Noir
Designer
A bit more affordable than the niche collection. I made sure to only post fragrances with great projection, longevity and a unique scent.
An amazing warm spicy tobacco scent. Blind buy safe.
Viktor&Rolf - Spicebomb Extreme
Another great blind buy option, a bit on the sweeter side and unisex leaning masculine. Smells like roasted marshmallows by a fireplace.
Maison Margiela - By the Fireplace
My favourite leather scent. Badass smelling leather jacket, but try before you buy.
Tom Ford - Ombré Leather
One of the best scents ever made! A lipsticky iris scent. Mass appealing but intriguing.
Dior Homme Intense
A unique cherry leather scent, can't go wrong
Guerlain - L'Homme Ideal Eau de Parfum
Gorgeous sweet-spicy mass appealing scent, can't go wrong. Very sexy.
Tom Ford - Noir Extreme
A beautiful and unique warm spicy leather scent for the fall and winter.
