Discover the best fragrances for men that will have you smelling fresh all season.
If you’re a guy looking for a new signature scent for yourself or shopping for the perfect gift for someone else, you’ve come to the right place. There’s never been a better time to be in the market for a new fragrance; there are options for every style and taste, ranging from polished gent to earthy vibes. Cologne can be a daily sensorial indulgence or reserved for special occasions. It's up to you. Nothing triggers memories quite like scent, so be remembered well.

We searched high and low (price ranges, that is) to find the best colognes for spring 2024. Fragrance can be transportive — shake off the winter season with a bright new scent and you’ll be mentally halfway to Margaritaville in no time.
