Smelling good is something many of us men take for granted. Perhaps this is because it is so easy to smell good when you have a quality cologne. While, obviously, you still need to bathe (this should go without saying), adding a nice touch of cologne can be a huge difference-maker — and a source of many compliments. If you’re looking to switch colognes — or simply switch from the “au naturel” scent you’ve been rocking your whole life — you’re in luck. There are a ton of great smelling colognes on the web which are both relatively inexpensive and can provide a rich, alluring scent. So let’s take a look at some of the best cologne for men — because everybody can use a nice little confidence boost once in a while.

Best Smelling Cologne

The whole point of buying cologne is to smell great, right? If that’s the case, scent should serve as the most important factor in your decision making. For a cologne with an intense, intriguing fragrance, the Versace Eros Eau de Toilette Spray for Men is a great choice. Eros gives its user a unique, masculine scent through a pleasing combination of Italian lemon zest, mint leaves, and green apple. With enveloping notes that include tonka beans, amber, geranium flower, and vanilla, this fragrance provides a natural, yet buzzing aroma that you — and everybody in your presence — will enjoy.

Best Natural Smelling Cologne

If you’re looking for a cologne that is a bit more subtle, yet still provides you with a rich, luxurious scent, you should opt for the Azzaro Chrome Eau de Toilette. With a perfume oil volume of around 5-9%, this cologne won’t have you giving off an overpowering scent that, at times, can work against you, but rather, an indiscreet blend that can amplify your hygiene ever so subtly. It contains the perfect mixture of citrus, aquatic and woody scents and should be applied in small doses on your neck, wrist, and clothing. The blend’s inherent theme is to unite father and son, so this cologne could also make a great gift for your son — if you have one — or vice versa.

Best Value Cologne

For a great smelling cologne at a fantastic price, Cool Water By Davidoff For Men. Eau De Toilette Spray is the perfect option. An offspring of the Calvin Klein brand, this fragrance combines lavender, jasmine, oakmoss, musk, and sandalwood for a unique, formidable scent. While it is recommended as a daytime cologne, it’s versatile enough to wear both at the office or when you’re going out on the weekends, giving you an inexpensive, high-quality scent for all occasions.
