10. 4711 BY MÄURER & WIRTZ
Fragrance Type: Citrusy & Woody
“The most famous cologne in the world, 4711 is the quintessential summer brightener. A blend of citrus notes, rosemary and wood, “it’s a must-have for any man’s work bag and, at an incredibly low price, can be spritzed with recklessness.” Use this scent in the office, on the weekend, and in the warmer months.
9. DAVIDOFF COOL WATER
Fragrance Type: Cool & Aquatic
This 1988 classic, one of the most recognized aquatic smells, introduced a new wave of fresh aromas that traded citrus elements for pine, mint, and a sensation of the sea. Cool Water was a game-changer in the world of masculine fragrance. "It went on to become one of the most influential and lucrative manly perfumes of all time — and the model for a slew of knockoffs that continue to this day." As the name suggests, this sea salt, fresh aroma is perfect for summer.
8. TOM FORD NEROLI PORTOFINO
Fragrance Type: Fresh & Floral
Neroli Portofino is the star of Tom Ford's fragrance collection, with the capacity to capture a summer day in the Italian Rivera and bottle it for use on a frigid day anywhere from Richmond to Reykjavik. "It combines classical components such as Sicilian lemon, bergamot, lavender, and amber with fascinating modern synthetics to give a modern twist on a typical manly cologne." The fact that it looks good on the dresser is purely coincidental.
7. ACQUA DI PARMA COLONIA
Fragrance Type: Fresh & Citrusy
Acqua di Parma Colonia is a subtle and beautifully fresh water that dates back to 1916, but it's the epitome of a timeless classic, like a neat Oxford shirt. The deceptive simplicity of the fragrance is echoed in the art deco bottle, which features citrus top notes, a complex heart, and an understatedly seductive woody base. You'll be hard-pressed to find a nicer daytime smell.
6. PACO RABANNE 1 MILLION
Fragrance Type: Sensual & Woody
Paco Rabanne 1 Million is a men's fragrance craze, with a bottle sold every five seconds, whether you like it or not. This huge, bold evening smell offers a roll call of sensual ingredients — from narcotic rose and seductive amber to delicious cinnamon and kinky leather — and is now in its ninth year as a best-seller (a monumental effort in fragrance terms). Experts disagree on how nice of a perfume it is, but everyone is impressed by its enormous success.
5. ARAMIS
Fragrance Type: Woody & Spicy
Aramis' history as a brand is only matched by its longevity on the skin, which is almost 50 years old. The overwhelming sensuality of this rich and spicy chypre — a family of scents composed of fresh, citrus notes with a deep woody or mossy overtones — makes it a fragrance solely for grown-ups. No one has ever developed a better version of it, despite the fact that it has inspired a plethora of manly creations throughout the years. It's pleasant enough to wear every day and transitions smoothly from day to night.
4. CALVIN KLEIN CK ONE
Fragrance Type: Citrusy, Floral & Woody
Without including CK One and the androgynous young waifs who advertised it, it's hard to assemble a list of market-disrupting male perfumes from the 1990s. It offers the opportunity to join a tribe.
3. ISSEY MIYAKE L’EAU D’ISSEY
Fragrance Type: Citrusy & Spicy
It's the kind of men's fragrance you'd wear with a fine gauge roll neck, cool and sophisticated. Because of the bottom elements of amber and woods, this smell may effortlessly transition from day to night.
2. JEAN PAUL GAULTIER LE MALE
Fragrance Type: Warm & Woody
French fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier took a chance on young and relatively inexperienced perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, who is now one of the world's most respected noses, and created one of the most iconic men's perfumes (and bottles) of all time.
1. TOM FORD OUD WOOD
Fragrance Type: Sensual & Smoky
Tom Ford made his first journey into the world of deep, smokey oud while working on M7 for Yves Saint Laurent, a critically acclaimed fragrance that helped kick-start the oud movement in the UK.
