In contrast to the heavy, musky perfumes your grandfather wore many popular colognes feature bright citruses like bergamot, lemon, or grapefruit. However, I was surprised by how many of these best-sellers are classics. Many of them have been reformulated over the years but I was still pleasantly surprised to see so many classic scents are still selling well. With all the fragrances launches and emerging niche players, I tend to think of the cologne landscape as constantly changing. However, they have already proved to be the most popular men’s colognes, as you can see from this list. Many credit Cool Water with being the first aquatic when it launched in 1988. The first trend I noticed is how many of the most popular men’s colognes fall into the aquatics family. These colognes are designed to replicate the smells of the seaside, from salty air to sea to marine plants. Aquatic Aromatics are Well Represented on the Best-Seller List There are several noteworthy trends to explore in more detail. These wouldn’t have made it consistently to the best-seller list if they weren’t quality fragrances in the first place.īased on this list, we can start to get a sense of where men’s fragrance is. One of the most frustrating things is hearing great buzz about a fragrance, only to find out later, it was all hype. Popular, classic scents tend to be safe buys - they’ve stood the test of time and have been well-liked enough to be a best-seller. It can be intimidating and time-consuming to go in-store and sample colognes but buying online can be uncertain since you can’t test the colognes beforehand. These are all fragrances that almost anyone would welcome - probably your biggest issue is whether they have it already. These best-selling and best smelling colognes are great to give as gifts since they are typically crowd pleasers that most men will enjoy.

The rope-like material covering the bottle is rough on the hands, seems to be made of some plastic or something. The bottom and the cap looks like it has ridiculously poor quality fake wood. It also takes a bit of effort to take off. PACKAGING: (In comparison to other Varvatos products) Also, you may try spraying on clothes to get more hours, however it is not advised, as these sprays have a lot of alcohol.

Bear in mind performance depends from skin to skin. Past the 5th hour it really is a skin scent. PERFORMANCE: (In comparison to other Varvatos products) A summer night out may need a bit more kick (think of versace eros) Maybe even formal wear if you have lightweight summer formal clothing.

The cedar is almost a tiny bit leathery, I might add. Finally, after about 4-5 hours, the original smell dies down to a faint sweet smell, and you get a subtle cedar wood smell. The flowery-cirtus-lemon tones down a bit and you smell a tiny bit of wood, but I could not find out what wood smell this is. Give it 30 mins and the alcohol dies down and the spray settles in your skin. Starts off very strong with citrus and lemon, almost like a flower extract smell or something.
