Best Smelling Colognes to Get Your Boyfriend or Husband

When buying cologne as a gift for someone, it is important to factor in their lifestyle, the climate of the area they live in, and even their personal style so far as you can tell it. Consider you boyfriend or husband’s needs. Does he need something that can be worn to work? Or will you go with something that is more towards the sexy/romantic night on the town sort of fragrance? In this post, I want to give a list of cologne options that not only smell good but fit in a wide range of categories. I have not accounted at all for a budget but I will link below, other posts that I have done for scents within certain price ranges, that way you can have even more options.

Armani Code Profumo–  A flanker fragrance to the original Armani Code. To me, this one surpasses the original (which is also great, btw). Profumo is so utterly smooth, sexy, warm, and simply beautiful. Has easily become one of my favorites. My Full Code Profumo Review

Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit De L’homme Eau de Toilette Spray, 3.3-Ounce

Fresh and masucline with a bit of a powdery kind of spice to it. This one has been wildly popular since its release and for good reason. La Nuit as the name suggests is great for nighttime wear but also has the versatility and longevity to wear to work. La Nuit Review

Burbérry London 3.3 oz for Men Eau de Toilette

Burberry London is a casual yet refined fragrance that blends notes of tobacco, cinnamon, leather, and pepper among others. It works very well in the colder months of the year and spicy/woodsy profile that is quite delightful. My Full Burberry London Review

Polo Black by Ralph Lauren for Men – 4.2 Ounce EDT Spray

Black is one of those casual scents that does everything really well. It has an interesting mango note that isn’t too much on the sweet side and is bolstered by woodsy notes. Polo Black is also kind of a year round fragrance, as it seems to work in almost any weather condition while also smelling wonderful. Polo Black Review



Carolina Herrera Ch Eau De Toilette Spray for Men, 3.4 Ounce

This is a beautiful fragrance by Carolina Herrera. It features notes of grapefruit, bergamot, nutmeg, jasmine, violet, leather, and amber. It is a sweetly sugary aroma with  vanilla and leather, which gives it  a rich and warm smoothness. The dry down is quite lovely.

Thierry Mugler Eau de Toilette Spray, Angel Men Pure Havane, 3.4 Ounce

Pure Havane is a sweet blend of tobacco, honey, patchouli, and bitter cocoa. It is a very warm and manly scent that screams to be used on a winter’s day. Angel Men Pure Havane Review

Creed Aventus Creed 4 OZ Millesime Spray For Men

An upscale blend of citrus notes and woods which uses the finest ingredients. Aventus is wildly popular and can be worn on a multitude of occasions and fit in perfectly. In my opinion, it’s at its best in the spring and summer. Creed Aventus Review

212 Vip by Carolina Herrera Eau De Toilette Spray for Men, 3.4 Ounce

A bold fragrance that has the smoothness of an alcoholic drink (vodka is a note in VIP) and a subtle spice that really brings things together. I love wearing this stuff. Great for the nightlife and actually isn’t bad for everyday wear when done lightly. 212 VIP Review
