There is no doubt that a good fragrance can leave a remarkable first impression. The fragrance you wear reflects your style, just as much as the clothes you wear do. Also, some people prefer to have a signature perfume that gets associated with them anytime it is smelled around; and that’s because in general perfumes are linked to memories of people and places. So, if you want to receive a lot of compliments from women check this brief guide on top 10 men’s fragrances.
1- Versace Eros Flame
Eros Flame is a woody, spicy fragrance, launched in 2018 for “strong, passionate, self-confident men.”

2- Crystal Oud By Hasan Oud
Crystal oud is one of the best at the top of its class, a rare, valuable, and very wearable Middle Eastern oud with notes of sandalwood, vanilla, rose, leather, spices, patchouli, jasmine, bergamot.
It is recommended for both men and women as it has a beautiful balance of masculine and feminine notes. It is very unique among our ouds as it contains very wearable fragrance notes without the typical heavy smoky or medicinal qualities associated with many Middle Eastern ouds. It is one of the best men’s fragrances of all times!

3- Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce
Created by Christophe Laudamiel and Bruno Jovanovic, this woody, aromatic fragrance has a real nostalgic, masculine smell.
It’s been described as smelling like a ‘freshly showered man’ or a camping trip in the forest. A couple of sprays and you will have a lot of women coming up close and asking you what you’re wearing.

Heart Notes: Lavender, sage, tarragon, cardamom, and pepper.
Base Notes: Sandalwood, cedar, musk, tonka bean, iris, tobacco, and coumarin.
5- Dior Fahrenheit
With Fahrenheit, Dior set out to build a fragrance on the foundation of extremes. Though ambitious at first glance, the result is a harmonious blend of virile scents.
It’s a subtle scent for the distinguished gent – The ladies will recognize you for it.

Heart Notes: Nutmeg, honeysuckle, carnation, sandalwood, violet leaf, jasmine, cedar.

6- Davidoff Cool Water
I’ve talked a bit about Cool Water when it came to the best men’s fragrances for summer, but who said you can’t use it year-round?
With over 30 years of popularity amongst men, this fragrance is powerful and timeless despite the low price point. It’s a fresh and safe compliment-getter that is reminiscent of the ocean – hence the name.
Top Notes: Mint, lavender, coriander, rosemary, seawater.
Heart Notes: Geranium, neroli, jasmine, sandalwood.
Base Notes: Cedar, musk, amber, tobacco.
7- 1 Million By Paco Rabanne
When it comes to the most complimented men’s fragrances, you can’t go far wrong with Million by Paco Rabanne. “Sexy businessman” is the complement most associated with this bold fragrance. Its performance is strong, with some users reporting praise 5 hours after application.
This high-impact scent is meant to bring out the very best in a powerful man who goes to work in a suit. If that fits your description, you may have a winner.
Top Notes: Mint and blood mandarin.
Heart Notes: Rose, cinnamon, spice.
Base Notes: Leather, white wood, amber, Indonesian patchouli.
8- Commodity Leather
This is a very polarizing fragrance. It doesn’t try to smell like real leather, but it’s rough and venerable like an old book. This is for men who don’t like to beat around the bush but prefer to exude manliness through their smell.
People either love it or hate it. You’ll receive your share of compliments for sure, just wear it with confidence.
Top Notes: Leather, oregano, juniper
Heart Notes: Cacao, Myrrh, akigala wood, more juniper
Base Notes: Styrax, cedar, vetiver, labdanum
9- Versace Eros
When it comes to the best men’s fragrances, Eros is extremely popular. True to the Greek god of love, it’s a fragrance built on sensuality by blending traditional masculine notes with maritime scents.
My only complaint is that because it’s so popular, lots of men use it for the compliments they get. You’re less likely to stand out from the crowd.
Top Notes: Lemon and bergamot, pomegranate
Heart Notes: Tonka bean, geranium
Base Notes: Musk and ambroxan, sandalwood
10- John Varvatos XX
Inspired by the celebration of style and music, this is a bold, masculine, woody scent that opens with cardamom, apple, and currant. John Varvatos screams individuality, passion and rebellion.
We’re blown away with this one and the best bit? Wear this and you’ll stand out from the crowd because it is not a common choice among most men.
Top Notes: Cardamom, Red Apple, Black Currant
Middle Notes: White Violet, Orange Blossom, Geranium
Base Notes: Coffee, Sandalwood, Cedar
