The 21 Best Men’s Colognes to Help You Get That Best Spring Scent

Top 21 Fragrances for Spring

We change perfumes almost equally when the seasons change. You may want to leave a mark on everyone around you of your scent. Do not spray too hard.

Cologne has been around for so many years and there are many options with your favorite scent, personality, time of year, and even time to wear it.

Don’t be afraid to take a few risks and change your perfume frequently. We hope you will learn how to choose the perfume that’s right for you here.

Whether you’re looking for a woody, warm seasonal thing or something light and fresh, we’ve rounded up our 2018 best-selling and must-try men’s fragrances.

1. Dior Sauvage Eau de Toilette Cologne for Men

Odor: masculine bergamot, pepper, cool sunlight . One of the most popular men’s perfumes, Sauvage is powerful and noble, a wonderful mixture of blue skies, rugged mountains and soft grasses.

2. Creed ‘Aventus’ Cologne for Men

Smell: Bergamot, Apple, Birch, Jasmine, Musk, Vanilla . Favorite perfume of 2017, Aventus is actually the best-selling perfume from the Creed brand with a unique history.

It’s a little on the expensive side, but it’s worth it, so it’s still a reason to get it. It lasts all day without spraying multiple times and doesn’t require a lot of spraying, so it lasts a little longer than my other favorite colognes.

3. Chanel ‘Bleu de Chanel’ Cologne

Odor: Wood, bright citrus , fresh, clean odor. One of the best selling men’s cologne this year. It’s the perfect fragrance option when the seasons change, but you can spray it year-round.

4. Versace Man ‘Eau Fraiche’ Cologne

Odor: White lemon, rosewood, cedar leaves, sage and musk . We love everything that is unique to Versace. But this day is perfectly modern and fresh, the perfect perfume to spray when you need a quick pickup during the day (or at night).

5. HERMÉS Terre D’Hermés Men’s Cologne

Odor: Smells like grapefruit, wood, minerals and green notes . This is the perfect perfume for anyone who loves the outdoors, mineral scents and earthy shades. It’s not completely overbearing, but it still leaves that scent on all day.

6. New Yves Saint Laurent Men’s Cologne

Smell: bergamot, sage, manly fresh cedar . Overall, it is a masculine fragrance that maintains a delicate balance and a balance of freshness and intensity. This is called nostalgia for your t-shirt and jeans kind.

7. Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb by Viktor & Rolf

Smell: Bergamot, Cinnamon, Leather, Grapefruit, Pink Pepper. Everyone who sells the best perfume for the third year in a row seems to be obsessed with Spicebomb. It’s not just about how cool the bottle is. It was addictive, spicy, and had all the strong flavors at the same time. This is the type of perfume that turns your head, gets compliments, and makes you feel good overall.

8. Prada ‘Luna Rossa’ Eau de Toilette

Odor: Lavender, Orange, Spearmint, Sage, Wood. This fragrance is completely fresh, cool and has a soothing effect . It has a clarity that helps awaken your senses every day.

9. Gucci ‘Guilty Eau Pour Homme’ Eau de Toilette

Odor: Bergamot, musk, lemon. This fragrance is ultra-light, fresh, crisp and cool while still maintaining masculinity.

10. Le Labo ‘Bergamote 22’

‘Bergamot 22’ is one of my favorite spring fragrances, and it’s one that’s sure to grab people’s attention for all good reasons. It’s good to have a smell that isn’t familiar to everyone who sniffs it occasionally. Bergamot is combined with light petitgrain, grapefruit, amber and musk . Plus it’s completely vegan and not tested on animals, which really adds a bonus.

11. John Varvatos ‘Artisan Pure’ Cologne

One of Josh Varvatos’ latest creations, Artisan Pure combines scents of forest and citrus to deliver sunny days, contemplation and masculinity. There are notes of Spanish lemon, coffee tree flowers, tonka beans and cedar wood .

12. Dolce & Gabbana ‘Light Blue’

It’s like a stress-free vacation in a bottle. If I had to pinpoint its location, I would say the sun-drenched Italian countryside. Light Blue is a blend of bergamot, Sicilian bergamot, grapefruit, rosemary, musk and oak moss . This is the kind of perfume you spray in the morning that puts you in the most zen state of mind and will last all day.

13. Issey Miyake ‘L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme’ Cologne

This perfume is on this list because of its distinctive aromas of geranium, water lily, cypress, verbena, sandalwood, amber, musk and tobacco . We almost like to drink. Of course, don’t drink it, but you will. Please bring as much as possible.

14. Clean ‘Shower Fresh’ For Men

Another spring and summer favorite is Clean CLEAN’s Fresh. Very clean and it’s like a shower in a bottle. It is completely refreshing and energizing and really helps to wake you up in the morning. This product is guaranteed to be praised.

15. Maison Martin Margiela Replica ‘Jazz Club’ Cologne

Smell: Pink Pepper, Absolute Rum, Tobacco Leaf, Vanilla . We couldn’t actually love this perfume more than we do. It’s rather strong, but in a good way, you really only need one or two sprays. And you can smell it fresh all day long. As with all replica fragrances, you can add other options to this fragrance to create your own unique fragrance.

16. Valentino ‘Uomo’ Fragrance

Odor: Italian Bergamot, Leather, Cedar Wood . It is lively, rich, and at the same time ennobles everything. Plus the bottle looks cool too. If you have this perfume bottle in your closet, you’d be proud to show it off.

17. Givenchy ‘Gentleman’ Eau de Toilette

Smell: spice and elegance! Although masculine, bright notes like pear and lavender are mixed with strong notes like leather and patchouli .

18. Le Labo ‘Santal 33’ Cologne

Odor: Cedarwood, Leather, Sandalwood, Violet Accord, Iris, Papyrus . This vegan perfume is actually unisex. And it blended masculinity with tenderness that no one really could get past.

19. New Creed ‘Spice & Wood’ Cologne

Odor: Apple, bergamot, lemon, cedar, iris and musk. Of course, this perfume is on the ‘expensive’ side of things, but it’s perfect for those who love the year-round outdoor lush freshness.

20. Prada ‘Homme Prada’ Eau de Toilette

It smells like iris, amber, neroli, patchouli, etc. This fragrance from Prada is the first to blend this iris and algae incense. It has a very relaxing scent that can catch the attention of some people.

21. Paco Rabanne 1 Million Eau de Toilette Cologne

Odor: leather, cinnamon, amber, rose, etc. It’s bold without being hit too hard, and (as is the case) some claim it will have the power to attract.

How to Choose the Right Cologne

What is the difference between Cologne, EaudeToilette, and EaudeParfum?

Here are top-level breakdowns to help you know the real difference and now choose the right aroma option for you.

Colognes: Just a very old name for a perfume once upon a time. In the United States, this is called ‘perfume’, but men consider it ‘perfume’ as opposed to ‘perfume’, which is usually on par with women. Perfume usually consists of about 3% perfume oil mixed with alcohol and water.

Eaude Toilette: This is typically a spray type and has a light scent. It accounts for about 10% of the aroma perfume essence.

Eaude Parfum: This sometimes symbolizes a unisex fragrance, usually the longest lasting and sometimes the most expensive fragrance option. Spraying your clothes or hair all day long is perfect because you will smell it.

Top Notes, Top Notes, Base Notes Base Notes, and Medium Notes What are Medium Notes?

Top notes: These are usually lighter scents and you’ll smell them first of all.

Base Note: These are the bolder and stronger fragrances that are usually left behind after you apply your perfume.

Medium notes: These are usually fruity notes combined with top and bottom notes. Most of the time they tie everything together.

Overall, notes are notes, but the overall smell will vary from person to person and how they truly interact with your own body’s chemistry. Notes are a good comprehensive guide, so you know what you can get from perfume, but don’t worry if you see a note that you may not love. Because that’s the way they all appear mixed together.
