There is a common misconception which suggests that you can rock your favorite cologne year round. Now that may fly in some circles, but now that you are on a steep upward ascent in your personal and professional life, it’s time that you get the full unadulterated truth: cologne is both seasonal and occasion driven. That is an unquestioned truth.
Now while you take a moment to recover from the bomb just dropped on you, allow us to share five colognes that you may want to add to your fall arsenal. –djr
Work
Subtil Pour Homme by Salvatore Farragamo, $52
Ferragamo always steps to the place with scents that border on perfection. This scent follows in that trend usually quiet wood notes blended with spice. At this affordable price, there’s no reason this shouldn’t be added to your collection.
HM by Hanae Mori Paris, $70
HM brims with Oriental sophistication, most noted by the appreciation of samurai culture found in a bottle with a sandalwood base. Hints of lemon and lavender provide a lightness that make this perfect for the office.
Date Night
Tom Ford Beauty Noir De Noir Private Blend, $260
Just by taking a glance at the components of Tom Ford’s latest creation — Patchouli, vanilla, truffle, and black rose — provide all the background you need to understand why this cologne is so expensive, but so worth it. A word of advice, though: only wear this for a lady deserving of it.
Dolce & Gabbana The One, $57
The One is perhaps the most formal yet affordable men’s cologne in ages. Tobacco serves as a strong base note for ginger and cedar wood. Every so often you’ll get a hint of orange blossom coming through, which gives this cologne a wonderfully mercurial affect.
Sport
Marc Jacobs BANG, $55
Marc Jacobs gives the phrase “going out with a bang” a whole new meaning. With heavy wood notes with peppercorns and moss leading the way, this scent explodes with fall sentiment.
