Most guys want to find a cologne that fits their style and is appealing to other people as well. There are some scents you might love wearing but no one else seems quite as enamored of.

Polo Black by Ralph Lauren for Men

I wear Polo Black, I think Polo has been around so long that any of their fragrances you really can't go wrong with.No doubt this is my go-to cologne as it smells more sophisticated and not overpowering during business meetings or a night on the town with my wife.

Truefitt & Hill Aftershave Balm 1805

I've been a fan of Truefitt & Hill's grooming products for a while and was surprised with a bottle of the 1805 cologne as a gift recently.

I appreciate its clean, classic scent and always get compliments when I wear it, and questions about what it is.

Calvin Klein Intense Euphoria EDT

I wear a LOT of colognes - everything from high-end Gucci to basic Stetson.

However, the one that has gotten me the most compliments (from both men and women) is Calvin Klein's Intense Euphoria.

This is also my personal favorite. It's funny because I've tried the regular Euphoria, and while it's good, it doesn't garner nearly the amount of praise as the Intense Euphoria.

Santal 33 Perfume Oil

I wanted to recommend Santal 33 Parfum from Le Labo.

It's the one fragrance everyone has loved on me, both men and women. I'm a fan of the smokiness and masculinity it has, without being too overwhelming.

Gucci Guilty Intense EDT

Gucci Guilty Intense is by far, the most complimented cologne I wear it also is one that lasts the longest.

I've had so many strangers come up to me and ask what I'm wearing, it's ridiculous. If you're looking to grab attention, this one is a sure way of doing so.

This one is more so a scent for the weekend, as I feel in an office setting, it may be a bit overpowering.

Geoffrey Beene Grey Flannel for Men

Grey Flannel is a calming familiar scent. This makes my customers feel safe and confident. Though the fragrance is not entirely floral, the unusual violet note is the undisputed star of the olfactory pyramid.

When paired with citrus, oakmoss, and sandalwood, gone are the candy-sweet connotations of violets, and hello warm, comfy sweater. The citrus brightens the composition while the oakmoss and patchouli ground and tame it.

Thomas Clipper Coast Cologne

I wear Coast by Thomas Clipper. People constantly ask what I'm wearing when I have this on.

Coast is part of the UNITE collection the company is dedicated to responsibly sourcing their products. The UNITE collection is designed to be used together.

So while Coast is fresh and sporty with citrus notes all on its own, it can also be blended with the other two scents in the collection, City or Country, to change the profile.
