What Are the Best Colognes for Men 2023?

Searching for the best colognes for men is quite a daunting task. From fruity, sweet top notes to woody or musky base notes, there are a million different combinations and possibilities. You can’t get much of a story from a moisturizer or shampoo. But a great fragrance can turn heads for the right reasons. It can build a positive association with a friend, a date, or a total stranger.

10 Best Colognes for Men:

1. The Day-to-Night: “Chanel Bleu de Chanel” Fresh, clean, and sensual, this men’s scent from Chanel includes citrus, labdanum, sandalwood, and cedar notes. It can easily transition from day to night (a musky undertone makes it perfect for a date).
2. The Nature-Inspired: “Dior Sauvage” Inspired by nature and its raw materials, this scent from Dior perfumer François Demachy is earthy and woody. Warm notes of bergamot, pepper, and amber wood take cues from a desert landscape—but can still be worn in the dead of winter, thanks to its refined, non- overpowering finish.
3. The Enduring Classic: “Ralph Lauren Polo Black” Some classics never die, and Ralph Lauren’s Polo Black fragrance stands the test of time. A bold fusion of iced mango, lemon, and tangerine are combined with sandalwood, sage, and patchouli noir for a bittersweet end result. Bold and aromatic, it’s the ultimate scent to get noticed in.
4. The Warm & Spicy: “Maison Margiela Replica Jazz Club” Imagine yourself in a dimly lit jazz club with the perfect cocktail, surrounded by cigar smoke and leather chairs. This scent is the next best thing: Warm and spicy, it has notes of pink pepper, rum, and tobacco. Perfect for the fall and winter months when you want to hibernate in full cozy mode.
5. The Timeless Blend: “Calvin Klein Eternity for Men” Another classic from 1988, Eternity is a romantic floral fragrance inspired by lasting love. Clearly, the love affair with this scent carries on too: It’s decidedly unisex and works for both him and her. Notes of freesia, mandarin, sage, white lily, patchouli, and sandalwood make for a timeless blend.
6. The Spicy Citrus: “Hugo Boss Boss” Launched in 1998, this enduring cologne is a cult classic thanks to its timeless, masculine scent. Fruity and citrus top notes of apple, lemon, and plum are balanced against a hefty floral and spicy base, including geranium, sandalwood, and vetiver.
7. The Hidden Gem: “Le Labo Another 13” You may know Le Labo for its signature Santal 33 scent, but Another 13 is one of its more slept-on fragrances that deserves just as much hype. In collaboration with Another magazine, the scent is musky and fresh, composed of ambroxan, jasmine petals, moss, and woody, ambery notes.
8. The Sweet & Woody: “Byredo Bibliothèque” For the well-read, this scent takes cues from old books and their leather-bound pages. It’s also inspired by one of Byredo’s best-selling candles —so you know it’s good. Top peach, plum, peony, and violet notes add a sweet touch to an otherwise woody ground base of leather, patchouli, and vanilla.
9. The Cozy Scent: “Tom Ford Oud Wood” Oud wood is one of the most precious and expensive ingredients for any perfumer, and this cologne by Tom Ford nails the woody scent. Combined with cardamom, sandalwood, and vetiver—with hints of tonka bean and amber—a few spritzes of this signature scent is like warming up to a nice cozy fire.
10. The Crisp Blend: “Creed Aventus” This best selling fragrance from Creed was introduced in 2010 and continues to be a fan favorite. It features crisp top notes of apple, blackcurrant, pineapple, and bergamot, with heftier heart and base notes including birch, patchouli, vanilla, and musk. It’s inspired by the life of a historic emperor and meant to symbolize strength, power, and success—who wouldn’t want that?
11. The Forever Summer: “Gucci the Alchemist’s Garden” The Alchemist’s Garden Eau de parfum. Appreciated for its floral and sweet notes, the Neroli Flower is both intense and subtle, combining an elegant density with a fizzy green edge. The greenness of the Neroli Flower blends effortlessly with the sparkling freshness of the Limone Cedrato, a zesty ingredient that is fresher and more floral than the lemon fruit.

Regardless of your sensory preferences, just remember that the perfect fragrance does not exist—some simply won’t match your personality, and what you like could also depend on the season, vibe, and mood you’re feeling that day. That’s part of the fun of experimenting with different fragrances—don’t be afraid to try something new.
