Gucci the Alchemist’s Garden, the Last Day of Summer Eau de Parfum
Granted, this is on the pricey end of things, but it is definitely worth every bit of the money you spend on it. The Alchemist’s Garden is a perfumery line that leaves you smelling like summer nights no matter what the weather and no matter the time. Why stop there? You can further accentuate the scent by layering on some scented oils and come up with your own unique combination.
Mr. Burberry Eau de Parfum
Mr. Burberry Eau de parfum has been described as a woody, spicy fragrance, giving the illusion of warmth no matter how cold the night. It was designed with the intent of exuding confidence and amplifying sensuality. This fragrance is one that has stood the test of time and has come out stronger than ever. It’s perfect for fans of aromatic scents, laced with the refreshing note of mint and a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg for the spicy tang.
Dior Sauvage Eau de Toilette
Dior Sauvage Eau de toilette is undoubtedly more affordable than most other products on this list when it comes to colognes. However, that doesn’t mean they compromise on either quality or the combination of the fragrance. Inspired by the vastness of open spaces, this cologne leaves much to the imagination. Much like the wide-open spaces, the scent isn’t overpowering; instead, it has the perfect blend of spices and pepper, among the refreshing smell of citrus as its signature ingredients.
Ralph Lauren Polo Black Eau de Toilette
At this point, Ralph Lauren products are seasoned veterans in the industry, and Polo Black Eau de toilette is no exception, released more than a decade and a half ago. Yet, this fragrance has stood true to its title as a classic even today. Although on the more tropical end overall, the combination of fruity scents paired with sandalwood and sage is genuinely second to none. Not only does it allow you to show off a bolder scent, but it has been recommended time and again for the most special occasions.
Jean Paul Gaultier by Jean Paul Gaultier
Jean Paul Gaultier's lines were stars in their time, and it remains so today. Despite being released more than two decades ago, Jean Paul Gaultier is as revered by men today as it was at the time of its inception. Don’t let the packaging deter you - it simply adds to the uniqueness of the fragrance. After all, presentation matters as much as the product itself, and Jean Paul Gaultier went all out on the packaging and the aroma, favoring a vanilla finish over spicy undertones.
Tom Ford Noir Extreme
Tom Ford Noir Extreme is a unique blend of simultaneously spicy and vanilla-like aromas. Classified as “amber woody,” this fragrance hosts several exciting ingredients. With vanilla, orange blossom, rose, jasmine, and kulfi adding to the sweet undertones, and the spicy tinges of cardamom, nutmeg, and amber, it’s no surprise that this has been a favorite since it was released and is still going strong.
Le Labo Another 13 Eau de Parfum
Le Labo is well-known for its other signature scents, and it may be the first time you’ve heard of this (considering how underrated it is), but as it stands, Another 13 is not one to be ignored! Another 13 takes a more traditional musky and woody scent. Launched at the start of the previous decade, it went under the radar of many, but it definitely worth giving a shot! Moss, wood, amber, ambroxan - the classic musky fragrance is perfect for your signature scent!
Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio Eau de Parfum
Giorgio Armani is another industry and customer favorite - and with good reason - so Acqua Di Gio is another testament to its product quality and brand reputation. This fragrance has been described as a replication of the Mediterranean paradise. Inspired by a coastal town in Italy, Acqua Di Gio bottles up the scents of the oceans and the deep blue sea all within a small yet no less stunning container.
Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette
The title of the cologne is self-explanatory - there is nothing more of a classic than a fragrance titled “Boss”. Since its introduction in 1998, it has become a customer favorite with its most largely accepted “masculine” scent. Well-loved and well-known, Boss has evolved with the times, presented in a modern-looking bottle for today’s day and age. The cedar and sandalwood lay a woody base, upon which the fruits and spices build and result in the timeless fragrance.
Jo Malone London Myrrh & Tonka Cologne Intense
The sap of the Namibian myrrh tree is a rare ingredient for colognes as is, even more so when it is hand-drawn, as in Jo Malone’s cologne. Besides the sap, the main notes include lavender, honey, warm almond, and tonka beans, which add to the warmth and sweet tones and exude an earthy and intoxicating scent - perfect for any occasion, all year round!
Louis Vuitton L’Immensite
Louis Vuitton is known for some of the most creative looks that are so stylish. However, did you know they make some of the best and richest smelling fragrances? L’Immensite is one of, if not, the most well-known men’s fragrances by Louis Vuitton. With a hint of ginger, a splash of grapefruit, and a touch of amber, this fragrance is very addictive.
In the end, the perfect fragrance will depend on your personal choice. As long you are confident wearing it, then there will be no better option.
