The Five Best Smelling Cologne for Men

I feel it is impossible to go out looking for cologne or perfume without the benefit of some starting point. You can smell two at the most, and after that you are not able to make a choice based on what you are smelling. Because I once had the unusual job of “wig namer” , (giving an appropriate name to each packaged wig style) I felt I would be the perfect person to suggest modern, clean smelling colognes for men. Also, I can say I have purchased all of these scents for my husband. As a bonus, I’ve also included some fragrance notes fun facts. All of the following colognes range in price from $50.00-80.00. Available through fine department stores. Tip: Not Ross! Those are stale so beware!

1. Burberry The Beat
is an addictive, forest like fragrance with frenetic energy that  offers a man a certain kind of confidence. Black pepper and lavender  create an initial burst of fresh air and a then.. a sudden pop of new leather and aged Kentucky whiskey.  It is the scent of a modern man that suggests rhythm, style, and  intelligence. Your man will also love the polished gun-metal bottle packaging with Burberry’s traditional check pattern.
Notes:
Leatherwood,  Black Pepper, Violet, Bourbon
Style:
Dynamic. Modern. Confident
*The note black pepper increases circulation to the skin, heals bruising, and smells surprisingly similar to clove oil.

2. Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio Pour Homme (Gio)

is a  masculine scent reminiscence of  a breeze that blows off  a Mediterranean island.  (Close your eyes and imagine, then you’ll know)  It is  nearly invisible, yet it is an aromatic  and woodsy fragrance that isn’t overpowering. I can tell you that all women love  Aqua Di Gio Pour Homme because it is just this: A splash of freshness with the misty aura of  fruits, herbs, and woods.
Notes:
Mandarin, Bergamot, Persimmon, Rosemary, Jasmine, Amber, Patchouli, Cistus.
Style:
Transparent, modern, Clean and manly.
*The note bergamot is warm and spicy, and fights oily skin

3. Fresh Cannabis Santal
One of my favorite brands of fragrance in both men and women, this unique scent  is a surprising  blend of  dark plum mingled with patchouli, magnolia, chocolate, and vanilla musk. It’s a memorable scent that leaves a lasting first impression on any woman he introduces to it.
Notes:
Wild Strawberries, Kumquat, Dark Plum, Patchouli, Magnolia, Rose, Chocolate, Vetiver, Vanilla Musk.
Style:
Memorable. Exciting, Honest
*The note vetiver has the aroma of wet grass, and is often used to relieve anger

4. Chrome from Azzaro Paris

Inspired by, and made for  men of all ages, Chrome is  contemporary  enough for the modern man, yet sophisticated and timeless enough to be worn by even the most refined aristocrat. Created by world-renowned couturier Loris Azzaro, Chrome’s fresh citrus notes are an honest sentiment of the gentleness that lies in every man’s heart for the woman he loves. ??Notes:?Bergamot, Neroli, Ginger, Ivy, , Cardamom, Mate and Rosewood

*The note neroli has a haunting fragrance, and is often used to calm heart palpitations!

5. Lacoste Essential

Boasting the latest time-release technology,  this one of a kind scent emits a slow, consistent release of fresh, lively tangerine and earthy tomato leaves.  This unique burst will  last through a man’s daily activities, keeping him appealing and aromatic.  All will enjoy the spontaneous “remix” of fragrance  if you will, because as a man’s body heat rises, the scent re-releases.

*(We’re NOT talking B.O. here, body heat on the right man will smell sort of like a smoldering campfire on a crisp winter night)

Notes:?Tangerine, Bergamot, Tomato Leaves, Cassia,  Patchouli,  Wood Accord.?Style:?Uncompromising, Bold, Suggestive, Kind
*Cassia is very strong Chinese cinnamon, and used to break fevers.
