Good effort but there are several mistakes in this article. From spelling, to sentences in the wrong places and a sub heading saying ‘The List: Top 5 Colognes’
The concentration of each also hasn’t been identified/recommended – each of these 7 scents come in different concentration levels, typically with different notes and performance.
Although, I will be checking-out Blu Atlas Atlantis 🙂
Thierry Mugler – Amen Pure Havane
When i put this onand walk into a room, i get a lot of complements from male and female that i smell unbelievable.
Sad news, it is not available anymore in South Africa.
To some people Fahrenheit smells like a small Forrest fire. Lol Honestly to me it smells like clothes that were involved in a house fire and the smoke smell doesn’t come out.
Fragrance is subjective, so it may smell awful to some and glorious to others. I personally love Fahrenheit from the first time I purchased it in Dubai back in 1988(of course it doesn’t smell the but none the less I love it!
Sorry, it’s Aramis for me. Nice clean scent and NOT TOO STRONG.
***Please be sure to let men and women know that a little goes long way. Do not drench yourselves in it. A little dab will do.
You are spot on. Seriously, three blue frags, three freshies and a Tom Ford. Any of these colognes is fine (except for Sauvage edt) which is trash, but nowhere NEAR the “best” colognes, by any stretch!
Next story this clown is going to write is to tell us that Disneyland is the optimal wedding destination!
I’m glad my go to is not on this BS list…. Absolute classic that you can wear $ anytime women love it. I’m glad no rookies are going to read this article and find it.
So these are “basic” introductory level colognes for the young novice crowd. Stuff the average Joe off the street can purchase at Walmart. It’s not a list of signature colognes that will turn heads. (Unless you are 14 years old).
Hmm! Definitely not! You can NOT buy any of these at your local Walmart! What a ridiculous statement. Anyone with brains would no you can’t buy TOM FORD at Walmart! I have bought Dior Sauvage, Tom Ford, and Pablo Rabón One Million, which, by the way, also didn’t make the list. Just because your favorite isn’t on list, doesn’t mean the list is bad. I love all the scents mentioned.
I agree, just because your favorite cologne isn’t listed does not mean that the list is trash. I have MY top 5 that I have used and really loved.
-Dior Sauvage,
-Dolce & Gabbana k,
-Creed Himalaya,
-Thierry Muglar, A-Men ( the strongest and longest lasting cologne that I ever used )
-Aqua Di Gio
-Tom Ford -Noir
I would like to try any cologne with an irresistible sexy fragrance.
The entire Creed line could be a list by itself. I never thought i would spend $300 on any cologne but owning 2 bottles of Creed will suffice for 1 lifetime. Better than having 10 bottles of $60 average colognes
Escada Magnetism is the best smelling cologne of all time. Women stop dead in their tracks when you walk by. Too bad they discontinued it. It should be illegal to possess such an intoxicating cologne.
I agree…the person has not much clue. Now that you have mentioned it, I love Thierry MuglerB* Men, but sadly in most cases have I have the bad luck that my favorite fragrances are discontinued.
Very basic list. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one that read this article and feels it’s lacking the very best men’s colognes. I currently have eight scents in my collection and only one from this list, which was a freebie travel size for purchasing the ones I wear regularly lol 😉
So true…this list us pathetic…if u ladies r looking for a good fragrance for your man then Desire Blue by Dunhill is an amazingly sexy fragrance …I get compliments all the time and my girl can’t keep her hands iff me
Different fragrances and notes/ingredients ect react differently in different temperatures and body heat ect.. that’s why fragrances are usually seasonal..and also varies from different people’s body chemistry..
Exactly. Some scents smell like urine on persons with different body chemistry and pheromones. You actually have to try it on,and in many cases wait a little while for the notes or tones to settle to get scent that it is on you personally.
Well,it’s not a high end cologne, but I have always been very drawn to Nautica voyage. very clean, fresh scent,not to mention appealing n inviting. Also very universal scent
I hope there are samples of the colognes before purchasing. My husband and I love Newport cologne by Caswell Massey. Wonderful scent and lots of compliments.
Sauvage and Eau Sauvage are two VERY different fragrances. Eau Sauvage has indeed been around since 1966. The tripe water that is Sauvage was only introduced in 2015. They are not otherwise related and Sauvage is not a flanker of Eau Sauvage. Eau Sauvage was, before a deadly reformulation, one of the great fragrances. Some of its flankers like the 2012 Eau Sauvage Parfum were also classics. But Sauvage, the 2015 abomination, is not related to Eau Sauvage and is an ambroxan overload mass appeal to the lowest common denominator. It, like everything on this list, might be well selling but none are great or even good. Dig deeper, even after IFRA all but killed perfumery with bans on crucial ingredients like oakmoss, there are some great fragrances out there. Start with Rogue Perfumery. Their line is se ond to none.
I can’t believe that Prada Luna Rossa didn’t make the cut or be number one. Every time my husband wears it I just want to take my clothes off & jump him. So sexy!!
Love this comment! Now I want to get this for my husband. Thanks for this recommendation. Something about a really amazing fragrance on my man is just so sexy. He’s wearing Tom Fords Ebene Fume Eau de Parfum ( genderless Parfum) right now ,to me it’s a masculine fragrance and it comes in 4 sizes which I love because it’s not cheap , but well worth the money & he makes it last. Normally he wears Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio Eau de Parfum which has been a favorite for yrs. My son wears Azzaro The Most Wanted Parfum and I really love this one , and I think my husband smells so good when he wears it. I’ve had a few people say they love Azzaro The Most Wanted on their men as well. I love how fragrance smells different on each person. I have the Tom Ford’s Vanille Eau De Parfum Spray which I prefer on myself , and one thing about Tom Ford’s Parfum is you can layer them, so I use bath & body products that have a similar fragrance and I will sometimes wear it with Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist Vanilla & Salted Caramel Hair & Body Perfume Spray. Just yummy. But my point is that Tom Ford’s Parfum layers so nicely with other fragrances. Even the Ebénè Fume had a spicy sweet combination when layered. I know I have more , but this is what he’s been wearing lately or gravitating to.
Thanks again for your recommendation,I’m definitely looking into it.
A Must Have Are The Creed Line-(Silver Mountain). Paco Rabbane (Elixir) Mens Parfum Alot Of Compliments. Versace Eros, Aramis An Oldie But Goodie Especially An Oil Base. Guerlain Has Very Good Notes I Used Heritage Back In The Early Days, But Interested In Trying Habit Rouge By Guerlain. And Finally Versace Signature Pour Homme Is A Great Fragrance, Aqua De Gio & Chrome Can’t Go Wrong.
I Myself Lean More Towards The Mens Parfum Vs. Eau Toilette Vs. Cologne
Article probably published by some younger fella..😄.The oldest fragnances are chan.blue and calv.kl…I’ve never heard about some blue atlantis something….
I recieved Blu Atlas Atlantis as a gift. Don’t even bother trying it. It’s average at best, although the atomizer is great and the magnetic cap is nice. A darker version of Banana Republic 78 Vintage Green. And I couldn’t find it on Fragrantica. This article may be a veiled advertisement for it. Listing it with some of the best selling colognes to try to give it credibility.
Wear your cologne at home. Fragrance respects no boundaries.
I had high end tickets to a theater performance.
A couple sat in front of me. He reaked of “fragrance.”
I hope my coughing disrupted his theater enjoyment as much as his cologne did mine.
Wow what an overplayed and underwhelming list…sausage elixir is leagues above regular sausage… The other ones are just generic bs scents… Those are scents of 2017…. How about creed aventus…Mont Blanc explorer, Louis Vuitton hombre, Layton, rouge 540, bond no. 9 bond no.9.com, Maison margiela by the fireplace…I mean come on man…
People act like designer fragrances just became popular many of us who knows the name of these name brands have been wearing them for decades those fragrances are just a few there’s way better men fragrances than that there’s a store called perfume plus that sells perfumes from all over the world
savauge is a cheaper, less sophisticated version of bleu de channel. Y by YSL is the better. Aqua do gio smells like every girls boyfriend. the tom ford is a niche and shouldn’t be in this list. Eros is only good for clubs and outdoor winter dates, instead, La nuit de lohmme by YSL(my all time fav), is by far and away superior for those occasions. for spring and summer, allure sport extreme is still a top 3 compliment getter for me(next to creed aventus, and mahogany woods from bath and body works *discontinued*) lastly, spice bomb from victor and rolf will be the ace in the hole you keep, just in case.
Who wears a blue fragrance on an outdoor winter date? No no. That’s what woody scents are for. Sausage and Bleu are different enough that there’s no reason not to get both.
I like Aventus as much as the next guy, but at this point everyone is (and has been) wearing it, so if you want to smell like everyone else, go for it.
So the number one most preferred by women men’s cologne is….? I have read several reviews and Paco Rabanne seemed to rank fairly high and I think that it was Blue De Chanel that also left a very desirable opinion. But here I set unsure of which one(s) might leave the ladies in awe. Opinions are truly valued in this category, to me anyways.
I’ve tried a couple Paco scents and they were uninspired. Bleu is the best from this list, but if you want something unique and masculine go with MFK Grand Soir.
Carolina Herrera, the original scent for men was always a great one. Classic & not over powering. They still sell it on Amazon. If you haven’t tried it you should!
Every Man/Male has their own unique taste of smell when it comes to Men’s Cologne. So it really doesn’t matter until this day what other people think is the Best smelling Cologne. Tommy Hilfiger is a Cologne that still smells great. Just like Eternity, still smells great. So my point is, it’s up to the Male individual what he likes and what smells great on him.
Good effort but there are several mistakes in this article. From spelling, to sentences in the wrong places and a sub heading saying ‘The List: Top 5 Colognes’

Hope this is taken as constructive feedback.
Thanks
Okay so I wasn’t the only one confused when the Blu Atlas write-up inexplicably pivoted back to the previous entry, tobacco vanilla ? 😆😆
Thierry Mugler – Amen Pure Havane
When i put this onand walk into a room, i get a lot of complements from male and female that i smell unbelievable.
Sad news, it is not available anymore in South Africa.
Fahrenheit By Christian Dior outdoes all of these. The most unique scent ever!
To some people Fahrenheit smells like a small Forrest fire. Lol Honestly to me it smells like clothes that were involved in a house fire and the smoke smell doesn’t come out.
Fragrance is subjective, so it may smell awful to some and glorious to others. I personally love Fahrenheit from the first time I purchased it in Dubai back in 1988(of course it doesn’t smell the but none the less I love it!
That is sadly not available anywhere any longer!
Sorry, it’s Aramis for me. Nice clean scent and NOT TOO STRONG.
***Please be sure to let men and women know that a little goes long way. Do not drench yourselves in it. A little dab will do.
Agree how dare they discontinue Armani Mania!?!
About 18 months ago I brought 5 bottles online and just have them ready to go as needed. Imo hands down the best. Women absolutely love it!!
$300 @ now .
That’s a rare hard to find gem.
I’ve always enjoyed and use Kenneth Cole Black. It just fits.
Ridiculously outdated
Agree.
This was put together by someone with no real interest in the subject.
You are spot on. Seriously, three blue frags, three freshies and a Tom Ford. Any of these colognes is fine (except for Sauvage edt) which is trash, but nowhere NEAR the “best” colognes, by any stretch!
Next story this clown is going to write is to tell us that Disneyland is the optimal wedding destination!
How can you not include Creed in top colognes?
I think Thierry Mugler Angel is a nice soft scent for men as well.
All time favorite is angel /theirry mugler and colonge by T.M JUST CAME ACROSS ITALIAN. LOVE.AMAZEING GRACE GOOD SMELL LOTION
This is a list of “good inexpensive colognes”, not the best ones.
Creed Aventus. The best cologne ever! Yes it’s expensive but …
Facts
Ehhh I prefer Virgin Island water over Aventus. Xerjoff Erba Pura or cruz del sur ii is better.
Peesh, I totally agree. I was expecting it to be on the list.
LOL.. Is this the best of 2010 list?
None of the Creeds or Bond #9 made the list. This list is way OFF.
Agreed! Bond #9 are amazing!
Eros,Eros, Eros!!!!! One and only!
I’m glad my go to is not on this BS list…. Absolute classic that you can wear $ anytime women love it. I’m glad no rookies are going to read this article and find it.
So what is your go to?
I have 287 full bottles and many more samples.
Maybe I have it already….very curious.
Thanks.
So these are “basic” introductory level colognes for the young novice crowd. Stuff the average Joe off the street can purchase at Walmart. It’s not a list of signature colognes that will turn heads. (Unless you are 14 years old).
Lol.
Hmm! Definitely not! You can NOT buy any of these at your local Walmart! What a ridiculous statement. Anyone with brains would no you can’t buy TOM FORD at Walmart! I have bought Dior Sauvage, Tom Ford, and Pablo Rabón One Million, which, by the way, also didn’t make the list. Just because your favorite isn’t on list, doesn’t mean the list is bad.

-Aqua Di Gio
-Tom Ford -Noir
I would like to try any cologne with an irresistible sexy fragrance.
Any authority on this subject knows that CREED is the best in the industry.If you want to spend under $100 i recommend George Trumper made in England.
I highly recommend “Fierce” by Abercrombie and Fitch smells wonderful I am female and buy this for my fiancee alot. Can’t get enough of it.
This is a ridiculous list. Where’s Creed Aventus??
Yes!!! Hahaa Creed is unbeatable, divine perfection for men.
The entire Creed line could be a list by itself. I never thought i would spend $300 on any cologne but owning 2 bottles of Creed will suffice for 1 lifetime. Better than having 10 bottles of $60 average colognes
Escada Magnetism is the best smelling cologne of all time. Women stop dead in their tracks when you walk by. Too bad they discontinued it. It should be illegal to possess such an intoxicating cologne.
I want to buy a bottle cologon the
Best men’s cologon
Whom ever made this list has ZERO taste. What about Bond #9, Thierry Mugler, and Creed!!!!!!
I agree…the person has not much clue. Now that you have mentioned it, I love Thierry MuglerB* Men, but sadly in most cases have I have the bad luck that my favorite fragrances are discontinued.
Very basic list. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one that read this article and feels it’s lacking the very best men’s colognes. I currently have eight scents in my collection and only one from this list, which was a freebie travel size for purchasing the ones I wear regularly lol 😉
Sad little list it is.
So true…this list us pathetic…if u ladies r looking for a good fragrance for your man then Desire Blue by Dunhill is an amazingly sexy fragrance …I get compliments all the time and my girl can’t keep her hands iff me

Well,it’s not a high end cologne, but I have always been very drawn to Nautica voyage. very clean, fresh scent,not to mention appealing n inviting. Also very universal scent
Yes !!!!!!!!
Absolutely I am in love with Versace Eros where should I get it pls drop a link or contact
I hope there are samples of the colognes before purchasing. My husband and I love Newport cologne by Caswell Massey. Wonderful scent and lots of compliments.

I love Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue for women and the one for men smell so delicious!!! 💙
You should be putting “Boucheron eau de parfum” and “Habit Rouge by Guerlain
I love the oldy Joop it’s my favorite it smells so clean and fresh my man has to wear it daily
Yes!!!!! One of my favorites but it is a winter fragrance for me…really heavy 1 spray will do ya…glad someone mentioned it!! Cheers!!
I can’t believe that Prada Luna Rossa didn’t make the cut or be number one. Every time my husband wears it I just want to take my clothes off & jump him. So sexy!!

Baccarat Rouge 540…
Luna Rosa is my Favorite
Unforgivable
Farenheit

Gisada is a great Fragrance. You will love it.
Where is YSL Y. One of the famous fashion house

Chrome has been my go to for many years and I have been named the best smelling man amongst my peers since using Chrome. 😁
Article probably published by some younger fella..😄.The oldest fragnances are chan.blue and calv.kl…I’ve never heard about some blue atlantis something….
Blu Frances are $100 garbage. You’re missing nothing by not knowing it.

Blu Atlas Atlantis is a paid promotion that should not be here.
This is a terrible list. Who authorized this??
🙌🏽i totally agree i wouldn’t waste my money on anything on this horrible list😩 this shit is laughable😭
Blu Atlantic
This is a fake list compiled as advertising for Blu.
That’s why the other 6 are old and uninspired.
Wow what an overplayed and underwhelming list…sausage elixir is leagues above regular sausage… The other ones are just generic bs scents… Those are scents of 2017…. How about creed aventus…Mont Blanc explorer, Louis Vuitton hombre, Layton, rouge 540, bond no. 9 bond no.9.com, Maison margiela by the fireplace…I mean come on man…
Calvin Klein Eternity for men is without a doubt the worst cologne I have ever purchased
People act like designer fragrances just became popular many of us who knows the name of these name brands have been wearing them for decades those fragrances are just a few there’s way better men fragrances than that there’s a store called perfume plus that sells perfumes from all over the world
if were talking designer fragrances… here we go…

Ive been wearing Paul Sebastion for thirty years .Not one week passes that at least 3people women and men ask me what i’m wearing
Carolina Herrera, the original scent for men was always a great one. Classic & not over powering. They still sell it on Amazon. If you haven’t tried it you should!
How is it that Jean Paul Gaultiere pour homme did not make the list
You mean Le Male?
As nice as these colognes are, if you take a bath in it VS a few gentle mist sprays, there not all that nice anymore.
There is no accounting for tastes……..To each his own.
Chemistry, chemistry, chemistry.
Creed or Bond……
Every Man/Male has their own unique taste of smell when it comes to Men’s Cologne. So it really doesn’t matter until this day what other people think is the Best smelling Cologne. Tommy Hilfiger is a Cologne that still smells great. Just like Eternity, still smells great. So my point is, it’s up to the Male individual what he likes and what smells great on him.
If I had money I would buy a bottle giveaway we’ll see maybe they’ll tell me one
I stopped wearing cologne, a lot of people are allergic or annoyed by the fragrance.
