The Best Fine Men's Fragrances for Sale
Most ladies appreciate a man that smells good. Fortunately for the makers of mens colognes, there is a market for great smelling men. Cologne's aftershaves, deodorants and body wash for men sell nearly as much as their female counterparts. Makers of these scents keep track of the best-selling aromas and have a list of the best sellers. However, just because it is a best seller does not mean it will be a favorite of everyone. Does this Spark an idea?

Acqua Di Gio by Georgio Armani
-
Created in 1996 along with a version for women, Acqua Di Gio by Armani has been in the top 10 sellers ever since. Armani was deeply inspired by the beauty of a Mediterranean city where he vacationed. The fragrance is said to be the scent of freedom. The cologne is composed of Armani's version of sweet and salty sea water and the feel of the sun warming your skin. There is definitely a hint of the Mediterranean with undertones of citrus and aromatic rosemary. You can also catch the hint of wood along with musk.
Cool Water for Men by Davidoff
-
Cool Water is a scent that if you have smelled it, you will always remember it. The male version was launched in 1992 in the familiar turquoise bottle. Cool Water calls itself a sport scent and it does have some claim to that. It is fresh, clean and crisp and like so many other scents has the ocean to thank for much of the inspiration that brought together the many scents such as sandalwood and lavender and spices such as coriander and mint, moss and jasmine.

Drakkar Noir by Guy LaRoche
-
Drakkar Noir was introduced in 1982 and has been a top favorite since then. It consistently makes top 10 lists of men's fragrances. Drakkar Noir was the brain child of Pierre Wargyne for Guy LaRoche who had a nose for the notes that would make Drakkar Noir popular for men for decades. Hints of rosemary, lavender, basil, lemon verbena, coriander, cinnamon, juniper and jasmine have assisted sandalwood and cedar in making this scent a legend.
Angel Men by Thierry Mugler
-
In it's silver bottle that reminds you of a long lost superhero, A*Men as it is called was introduced in 1996. It offers hints of bergamot, lavender, coriander, patchouli, roasted coffee, (yes really, roasted coffee) chocolate and caramel. It certainly sounds like a drink found at Starbucks more than a popular cologne just for men. Angel Men was created by Jacques Huclier for Mugler on the tails of the success generated by Mugler's popular women's scent, Angel. It has remained in the top echelon of men's fragrances since its inception.
