Inspired by its namesake's prevalence in today's modern cities, Comme des Garçons Concrete Cologne is an enticing contradiction. Its concrete bottle is molded to have curved edges, with an off-center metal cap and a box that also mimics the texture of the building material. While the exterior might suggest roughness, the fragrance itself is refined, with a base note of sandalwood mixing with hints of rose and spice.
Never worry about leaky or broken bottles. Made with a high performing wax base rather than a traditional alcohol spray, the Fulton & Roark Captiva Cologne is made to travel.

The label "intense" might make you think Prada Amber Intense Cologne has even more ingredients than the original Amber on which its based. Instead, it's a removal of fragrances that lends it greater punch. With a base of Somalian myrrh and Italian bergamot orange, it's bold, elegant, and, thanks to top notes of Indonesian patchouli and vanilla from Madagascar, a bit mysterious, as well. Arrives in a simple, handsome black 3.4 oz spray bottle.
As the first new men's fragrance from the French fashion brand in eight years, you'd expect L'Envol De Cartier Cologne to smell great. And it does, with an ambrosia-inspired mix of wood, honey, patchouli, and musk that's both sophisticated and subtle. But it's the bottle that might be its most notable advancement. The scent is held in a bulb that sits inside a outer glass bell, letting the liquid shine like honey, and enabling it to be refilled, unlike most store-bought colognes.
Spray scents don't do well in pockets. Misc. Goods Underhill Solid Cologne does just fine.

You can buy them all or take them for a test drive with their home try-on kit.

We spend about a third of our life sleeping, so the mattress you sleep on every night is incredibly important. Make sure you get the right one by trying out a Casper. This USA-made mattress is made up of multiple layers of foam, including one for support and pressure relief, and one to make sure you don't get too hot. It's all wrapped up in a durable woven cover, and shipped right to your door in a box that's easy to maneuver into even the smallest abodes. You get 100 nights to try it out, can return it for free if you're not satisfied, but if you are (and you probably will be), you can upgrade even further by grabbing some of the company's soft Supima cotton sheets and dual-layer pillows.

It has an alluring mix of crisp citrus, sandalwood, labdanum, nutmeg, cedar, pink pepper and other notes to give it a clean, woodsy smell that's ideal for warmer weather. Arrives in a handsome bluish-gray bottle.

Housed in a geometric sculpture designed by Fredrikson Stallard and handcrafted from frosted glass and solid silver, the container alone is enough to tell you that Brioni 70th Anniversary Extrait Intense Cologne is no pedestrian fragrance. Masculine yet sophisticated, it has accords of citrus, boutonniere, and wood, with accents that range from French lavender and golden saffron to sandalwood and Tonka bean. Limited to just 70 pieces worldwide, it arrives in a wooden display box.
A powerful fix of leaves and smoke, Comme Des Garcons Amazinggreen lives up to its name. The natural spray is made from palm tree leaves, jungle leaves, ivy leaves, green pepper, dew, orris roots, coriander seeds, vetiver, white musk, smoke, and something called "Gunpowder Accord", which we imagine smells something like the first few seconds of a civil war-era battle. Arrives in a green bottle with offset sprayer.
There are plenty of times when you're out and about that a quick refresh of your favorite scent would come in handy. Unfortunately, most fragrance bottles aren't very portable.

The secret is the compact, nearly credit card-sized design that's made from stainless steel. You simply remove the spray cap from your current bottle, pump to fill the Mistr, then use its built-in atomizer anytime you need a little extra smell good.
We love a product with a good story, and Kiehl's Original Musk has a good one. Supposedly formulated for the first time at Kiehl's Apothecary in the 1920s, the scent was found in a tub labeled "Love Oil" in the late '50s, and subsequently reintroduced in 1963. The updated scent leads with notes of bergamot nectar and orange blossom, followed by floral notes of rose, lily, ylang-ylang, and neroli, and finishes with a masculine blend of tonka nut, white patchouli, and musk. Arrives in a 1.7oz spray bottle with fittingly old-school labelling.
Most colognes have abstract names, meant to evoke a feeling rather than describing the smell itself. Not so with Tom Ford Black Orchid. This masculine scent opens with bold notes of black plum and orchid, mixing in patchouli, as well as various fruits, spices, and woods. In addition, it's designed to mingle with your skin's natural chemistry, creating a one-of-a-kind scent that's truly individualized.
As anyone who's ever visited a tannery can tell you, leather has a very distinct, alluring scent.

Exclusive to Bloomingdale's, it comes in a 4.2 oz size and arrives in a fittingly dark brown bottle.

In other words, fit for a gentleman.
There's something distinctly masculine about the smell of fuel, oil, tires, and exhaust that you'll only find at the race track. At least, until now.

Unfortunately, they're not actually selling it — although they are giving it away to a few lucky Facebook followers.

"Smell legendary" doesn't sound like a very good fragrance slogan, so it's probably a good thing we weren't consulted on the advertising campaign for Mont Blanc Legend Cologne. It offers notes of lavender, pineapple leaf, verbena, apple, rose, sandalwood, tonka, bergamot, oakmoss, and geranium, imbuing it with a clean, masculine scent. Arrives in a handsome black and chrome bottle that will look right at home in your storied bathroom.
You keep what goes in your body as natural as possible. So why not keep what goes on it natural, as well?

Ideal for a crisp evening in November spent at your favorite bar, Encre Noire Cologne ($35) is a woodsy scent that begins with fresh piney top notes of cypress.

Made by Lalique, this scent is created for the guy who isn't afraid to wear something bold and powerful, yet complex.
Even though inspiration for this scent was drawn from every facet of the whiskey production process, Hylnds Spirit Of The Glen Whiskey Fragrance ($180) won't leave you smelling like the crusty drunk at the end of the bar. Instead, it channels the deep distilling heritage of Speyside, Scotland (home of The Glenlivet), including the floral notes characteristic of its legendary spirit, the woody scent of aged oak casks and charred bourbon barrels, and the sweet aroma of wild pineapple weed. What you get is a unisex cologne that begins with the vanilla scent of wood, and finishes with the deep and unmistakeable scent of Scotch Whiskey.
Take yourself out of the bleakness of your Fall and Winter blahs with a subtle hint of Summer every time you wear Odin Roam ($135).

It has masculine top notes of saffron and pepper, followed with middle notes of ginger flower and coffee blossom. At its base are coconut milk, ebony wood, and incense, giving it a complex scent that's as delightful as it is interesting.
If you're looking for a fragrance that's as manly as it is unique, then check out Bottega Veneta Pour Homme ($80-$110), their first cologne made for men.
