The 9 best perfumes for men to try in 2023
Finding the perfect scent is like finding the ideal partner.
Fragrances for men have come a long way since their inception, evolving from simple single-note scents to intricate and masterful blends with various notes that capture the essence of masculinity in a bottle.
While some men prefer clean, fresh aromas, others are drawn to spicy, woody, or even sweet fragrances. Finding the perfect scent is like finding the ideal partner. It first starts with understanding your needs and desires. Next, you’ll have to think about the longevity of the scent and whether you see yourself wearing it in the long term.
Thankfully, plenty of options will make your decision-making that much easier. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the scents on the market that have gained cult-like followings (here’s looking at you, Eros!) and are classic enough to last a long time.
