Smell Fresh With These Best New Colognes for Men

Finding an affordable fragrance you like can be a game-changer. Replenishing your supply when you run out won't break the bank, which means you can feel free to spray away. Every Man Jack's cedarwood product line is one of their most popular and the cologne is a must-have for fans of the brand. 

Pro Tip: EMJ is an ever-evolving brand with so many new products on the horizon. However or wherever you might've discovered the brand, you may not be seeing the full scope of what they offer. Not every line is carried at every retailer. It's worth checking out their website to find out about the newest products or upcoming launches.

Consider this a warning: Once you commit to investing in a Bond No. 9 fragrance, you'll be converted for life. There are a lot of other brands out there doing a similar thing, but few reach the level of luxury and sophistication that Bond has achieved since launching in 2003.

The FiDi scent, released in fall 2019, has notes of black pepper and cedarwood (among other ingredients). A few sprays on your skin will give you a confidence boost to go out and take on the world.

Pro Tip: Bond No. 9 fragrances may be at a higher price point, but there's a catch. The brand runs a semiannual refill event where you can replenish your supply and try out some of their other offerings.

If you're not already familiar, please allow us to introduce you to your new favorite lifestyle brand. Burkelman recently developed their popular candle scents into wearable fragrances, and it's nearly impossible to pick a favorite.

Michelle Pfeiffer is getting her feet wet in the fragrance world with the Henry Rose line and the scents have garnered a lot of attention. They're all pegged as unisex, but Fog is the real standout as the "fresh" scent in the line.

What really sets Henry Rose apart, though, is their commitment to 100% transparency regarding the ingredients they use. Working with the Environmental Working Group and the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute, each fragrance was consciously created with health and safety as a top priority. 

Pro Tip: If you're willing to be a bit on the adventurous side, opt for the sample collection instead of just the one bottle. We're all fickle people who change our minds from one day to the next. With five different samples, you can try each one Monday through Friday and then stick with the one you like best for the rest of the weekend.

Following the successful clothing collaboration between the hit menswear brand and the seriously cool pop star, John Varvatos and Nick Jonas launched a scent that has us screaming like fans at one of Jonas’ concerts (yes, it’s that good!). 

Fresh, minty, and woodsy — it’s simply electric! The scent settles into a base of Clearwood (a clean twist on a patchouli scent) and sandalwood making it perform for the modern man. Trust us, wearing this scent might grow your fanbase to the Jonas Brothers' level.

Pro Tip: Channel the swagger of Nick Jonas with his fragrance and his cool clothing line. Understated and effortlessly cool, it perfectly matches the vibe of your new signature cologne.

Nothing starts your day with a burst of freshness like the smell of mint. Jean Paul Gaultier’s latest fragrance takes the peppermint scent to the high seas with a salty twist that we can’t get enough of. Oceanic accord will make any man daydream of a sailor’s life of adventure with a vanilla base note that’s warm and comforting. Life has its dull moments, but Le Male in The Navy will keep everyday exciting.

Pro Tip: As exhilarating as peppermint can be, it’s also great for relieving anxiety and stress, among other benefits. Adding a diffuser with peppermint oil to your home or workspace will keep you centered and calm, and raise alertness for high productivity.

Bleu de Chanel has been a top selling men’s cologne for years, but the newest member of the collection, the parfum, delivers the most intense version of the scent with less sweetness and a richer dose of cedar and sandalwood. 

When it comes to the concentration of perfume oils in a fragrance, among eau de toilette, eau de parfum, and parfum, the highest concentration is found in parfum. It’s still the same lustworthy fragrance with warm, woodsy, earthy notes that’s made Bleu de Chanel a hit, but more powerful, making this best men’s cologne smell as opulent as it gets.

Pro Tip: Bring the sandalwood smell into the shower with you with a men’s body wash from Every Man Jack for an allover body scent. If you want to take it to the next level, go for a shaving cream from Art of Shaving for a continuous masculine scent. 

Notes of caramel, grapefruit, and orange might make you feel like you're spending summer beachside in Capri even if it's the middle of winter and you're stuck at home. The brand has been in the fragrance game since 1916, so they know exactly how to create a scent to capture a certain vibe. They also offer their scents as candles and diffusers in case you want your whole house to be transported.

Pro Tip: Some guys find the cologne they like and stick with it for years. We certainly don't come down on brand loyalty, but it's always a good idea to switch things up from time to time. Seasonal fragrance swaps allow you to reinvent yourself (through your signature scent) every few months.

Inspired by a peaceful harmony found at the end of the earth, the ban timmur scent (a plant found in the highlands of Nepal) adds a masculine and exotic complement to the sweet smell of wild fig, settling with calming base notes of tonka beans and cashmere woods. 

Don’t let the initial spritz fool you, because this powerful fragrance settles over time in a warm, magical way that’s perfect for cold-weather months. In a season of pumpkin-spiced everything, you’ll stand out with an air of mystery and a truly unique scent.

Pro Tip: Complement your personal scent with a signature smell for your home. The sweet smell of this Byredo candle that was one of our favorites last year will give your home a sweet, floral, and woodsy scent with a masculine hint of leather, reminiscent of leather bound books you’d find on a library bookcase.

When Louis Vuitton launched men’s colognes recently, we expected something seriously luxe, and Sur La Route goes beyond expectation with a cologne that’s totally exhilarating. The sophisticated citrus scent comes from the key ingredient of cédrat, which perfectly complements the sweet, woody, vanilla aroma of Balsam of Peru extract. 

With a touch of green grass, nutmeg, and pepper, this citrus scent is far from a basic lemon or orange smell you’d expect from a citrus cologne. Masculine and elegant, this new men’s cologne will truly transform any man into a suave and sharp gent.

Pro Tip: Love that citrus smell? Wash that mug of yours with a killer citrus face wash! Kiehl's Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash has citrus extract, caffeine, and menthol.
