A lot of men tend to treat cologne as an afterthought. But it turns out that this is the worst possible time to apply on your cologne. Your body chemistry affects the smell of whatever fragrance you put on, and the warmth of your skin allows the scent to disperse naturally—from top notes to dry-down notes.
You only get the full range of the scent if you spray it on your skin, Krigler said. It also helps preserve your clothes: the oils and alcohols in some fragrances can ruin more delicate fabrics. Inspired by a specific s-era cafe in Paris called The Orpheon, this deep fragrance blends notes of tobacco and burnished wood to create a warmth that feels old, but like in a good way.
Wearing it is the perfect balance between fresh, herbal and woody vibes. Perfumers use amber to add warmth and depth to colognes and this one has a lot of it. But unlike other amber-forward scents, which can sometimes be heavy, this one also has a lot of citrus in the mix along with other notes of cinnamon, ginger and neroli. If you think patchouli should be kept to Phish concerts and food co-ops, this cologne will change your mind.
At first spray, the pomelo and pepper top note of this cologne gives you a punch of citrus—pretty standard for a fresh, summery scent like this.
But what complicates things is the heart note of pungent, slightly-herbal cannabis which dries down to reveal palo santo and vetiver. The mix is slightly familiar, slightly unexpected—ideal for a poolside party or a summer road trip.

Parfums de Marly. Layering fragrances can make them last longer, which is why so many brands will offer a kit of grooming products that all include the signature scent. Just like home bartending, though, you may also discover a cocktail of different products that works for you.
Keep in mind that you may not smell the fragrance later in the day because your nose develops olfactory blindness as you get used to the smell. Find a little shelf for it in the closet. Sun and heat will break down the components faster and make the alcohol and water evaporate sooner. A good cologne should last from three to five years. Some people say to replace in a year, but those people are also probably selling cologne.
Rancid oils and a higher concentration of alcohol can affect the way the product smells and might even harm your skin. Think about what kinds of fragrances you already like. Are you into long walks through pine trees? Does the smell of fresh orange juice or baking cookies bring back great memories?
Do you kind of miss the smell of tobacco, but are still glad you quit smoking? Any scent that has positive connotations for you has probably been worked into a cologne. Do your research.
