Smelling good, whether it's your body or your home, is probably one of the most attractive qualities we can all admit makes us immediately fall to our knees. And with Valentine's Day coming up, there's no better time than the holiday of love to gift your significant other a scent they won't be able to resist (and neither will you). Even if your bae still hasn't found "The One" (besides you, obvi), what better occasion than to steer them in the right direction by helping him smell like he popped right out of a soap opera with the wind blowing in hair as he's ready to carry you off into the sunset (IYKYK).
Whether he's looking for smoky or woody scents, or has no clue what his signature scent should be, we're here to help you (and him) decide which luxury fragrance he needs in his life. Just a heads up: While "cologne" is commonly associated with men's scents, the majority of our selections here are actually perfume or eau de parfum. These options boast a higher concentration of fragrance oils, ensuring a longer-lasting and more potent aroma. So, if you're ready to start talking fragrances, keep scrolling to find the most perfect, sexy cologne for your man this Valentine's Day.

Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau de Parfum
Yves Saint Laurent's Y Eau de Parfum stands out from the typical fruit-centric scents, making it a standout among the luxury label's other offerings.

Ralph Lauren Ralph's Club Eau de Parfum
What you don't find often is floral scents being incorporated into cologne.

As it settles, the floral-forward aroma ascends, enhanced by the presence of vetiver and cedarwood.
Azzaro The Most Wanted Eau de Parfum Intense
Don't be deceived by Azzaro's The Most Wanted Parfum's revolver-shaped bottle—beneath its bold exterior lies a surprisingly sweet side. While it boasts fiery, spicy notes of ginger and wood, every spritz reveals a delightful touch of bourbon vanilla, adding a sweet layer to the fragrance.
Dior Sauvage Eau de Parfum
If you're a lover of citrus-meets-wood scents, then look no further than Dior Sauvage Eau de Parfum. At first sniff, you can tell its fragrance family is very earthy and woody, but once it settles, its sensual key notes of spicy Calabrian bergamot, nutmeg, and vanilla start to appear.
Maison Margiela REPLICA' Jazz Club Eau de Toilette
