These are the ones that leave lasting impressions and the ones that guys keep returning to, sometimes decade after decade. Consider them the next time you want to make an aromatic impression!

Aramis by Aramis

Like great scotch and excellent jazz music, Aramis is a cologne that a young man grows to appreciate and identify with as he ages, which in turn keeps it modern. The profile is overtly masculine, with sharp notes of wood and leather, lightened by floral undertones and an overall clean scent. Flaunt that testosterone and grab a bottle.

CK One by Calvin Klein

Ck One is the kind of men’s cologne you can smell just by looking at the bottle. Unscrew the cap and have your memory affirmed by a creamy scent that conjures up words like “purity” and even “softness”. This fragrance is not afraid to get in touch with its feminine side. Another bona fide classic from Calvin Klein!

L’eau D’issey by Issey Miyake

Known for a brilliant fusion of citrus and spice, Miyake’s perfume for men is one you spray when you have carnal conquests on the mind. Just be sure to master the pronunciation before telling the ladies what it is you’re wearing because trust us they will ask.

Uomo by Valentino

Fashion house Valentino crafted Uomo to be an eternal classic. It’s inspiration was drawn from a mix between a relaxed grandeur and a modern aristocrat. It has top notes of bergamot and myrtle and base notes of leather and cedar. The heart notes of roasted coffee beans, chocolate and hazelnut will no doubt leave the ladies wanting more. This fragrance is for you if you only want the best for yourself and nothing less.

Ambre Nuit By Christian Dior

Christian Dior just knows the how-to of creating a seductive fragrance and Ambre Nuit is no exception. They searched for ingredients far and wide to create an intensely elusive fragrance. With top notes of bergamot essence, heart notes of damascena rose from Turkey and base notes of ambergris from New Zealand, it exudes unapologetic luxury.

Pour Homme by Bottega Veneta

Pour Homme was the luxury designer’s very first men’s fragrance and to this day it remains one of the best, not only for Bottega Veneta, but also among the best smelling fragrances and colognes for men all over the world. It was inspired by adventurers and travellers that dared to set foot out of the ordinary urban life. It is masculine, captivating and the perfect fragrance choice for your next adventure.

Mr. Burberry

Mr. Burberry Eau de Parfum is inspired by their iconic black heritage trench coat. Just like the trench coat, this fragrance is classic, timeless and will never go out of style. It is a warm and sensual fragrance that smells like confidence. If you are a fan of aromatic and fresh top notes such as tarragon and cinnamon, Mr. Burberry will hit all the right spots.

Jean Paul Gaultier by Jean Paul Gaultier

Aka the “man in the can” due to its rather unique packaging, this cologne for men boasts an irresistible scent firing on all cylinders thanks to a sophisticated, layered blend of botanicals. There is a directness to the fragrance in that it hits you right away, but a complexity that comes from certain notes giving way to others over time. Does it make sense to call this cologne predictably unpredictable? Well, we did it anyway.

Tom Ford Noir Extreme

Tom Ford Noir Extreme is for the man that relishes in immoderation. It has a combination of intensely pleasing notes that include mandarin, neroli, saffron, nutmeg, cardamom, orange blossom, sandalwood and vanilla. It all comes together perfectly to create a fragrance that is mysteriously dark and sexy. Think woody. Think amber. Think seductive.

Acqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani

Acqua Di Gio’s sexy, clean, long-lasting fragrance was inspired by a vacation Armani took to the majestic coastal town of Pantellerie, Italy. He took a whiff of Mediterranean paradise, put it in a bottle and then passed the bottle along to millions (and millions) of people. It’s now the gold standard of affordable men’s cologne.
