And when it comes to\u00a0fragrance, we\u2019re even more serious. That\u2019s why since the very beginning of the year, we\u2019ve been putting every single\u00a0new launch\u00a0through extensive testing. We spray, we sniff, we wear, we sniff again. We test every fragrance on multiple occasions, from the office to black-tie events and everything in between, and we evaluate them for everything from longevity to evolution to how many compliments we get, which arguably is the most important metric. What begins as a\u00a0yearlong endeavor\u00a0culminates in the list you have before you: our very favorite fragrances of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, we also know\u00a0fragrance\u00a0is subjective, which is why we\u2019ve made sure this list includes something for all sorts of vibes (and budgets). So whether you\u2019re a\u00a0fresh\u00a0guy or prefer\u00a0deeper,\u00a0darker\u00a0scents, there is something for you. Let\u2019s face it, though: It\u2019s not about picking just one these days. Modern fragrance is about leaning into change, switching up your vibe as often as you change your clothes. Your grandfather might have worn the same cologne his entire life, but you\u2019re not your grandpa! The year 2025 is about experimentation, busting out of your comfort zone, and blazing a new trail. Any of these fragrances would be an ideal tool for doing that, and we wholeheartedly endorse creating your own collection and using fragrance intuitively based on both how you want to smell and also how you feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fragrance is one of those things that might draw people to you but, at the end of the day, is all about you. It\u2019s deeply personal and, we think, one of the best and most effective ways to express yourself. So as you peruse this list, keep your mind and nose open. Trust us, they\u2019re all winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dior.com%2Fen_us%2Fbeauty%2Fproducts%2Fbois-dargent-Y0959160.html&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C5720448b-ae59-4c7c-96cc-889ed0c529da%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7Cba9c01d5-d6fb-4077-a520-d6b29d460f04%5Blt%7C%5Baxid%7C591633a3-4124-4f14-8646-3a2cd3624dd2%5D\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a class=\"product-image-link ebgq4gw2 e1b8bpvs0 css-iu7x6j e1c1bym14\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dior.com%2Fen_us%2Fbeauty%2Fproducts%2Fbois-dargent-Y0959160.html&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C5720448b-ae59-4c7c-96cc-889ed0c529da%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7Cba9c01d5-d6fb-4077-a520-d6b29d460f04%5Blt%7C%5Baxid%7C591633a3-4124-4f14-8646-3a2cd3624dd2%5D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/vader-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/1762816577-e000000484-e01-zhc-691272231b0d8.jpg?crop=0.498xw:0.748xh;0.244xw,0.135xh&amp;resize=980:*\" alt=\"Bois d\u2019Argent\" title=\"Bois d\u2019Argent\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dior.com%2Fen_us%2Fbeauty%2Fproducts%2Fbois-dargent-Y0959160.html&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C5720448b-ae59-4c7c-96cc-889ed0c529da%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7Cba9c01d5-d6fb-4077-a520-d6b29d460f04%5Blt%7C%5Baxid%7C5b3402c2-ef81-4d94-ab25-0f7776746ff1%5D\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dior.com%2Fen_us%2Fbeauty%2Fproducts%2Fbois-dargent-Y0959160.html&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C5720448b-ae59-4c7c-96cc-889ed0c529da%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7Cba9c01d5-d6fb-4077-a520-d6b29d460f04%5Blt%7C%5Baxid%7C5b3402c2-ef81-4d94-ab25-0f7776746ff1%5D\">Dior Bois d\u2019Argent<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dior.com%2Fen_us%2Fbeauty%2Fproducts%2Fbois-dargent-Y0959160.html&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C5720448b-ae59-4c7c-96cc-889ed0c529da%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7Cba9c01d5-d6fb-4077-a520-d6b29d460f04%5Blt%7C%5Baxid%7C099b6333-4992-403b-9282-39665e730ec1%5D\">$330Dior<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t let the sweetness at the opening of this richly layered scent fool you (unless, of course, that\u2019s your vibe).

The news \u201cL\u2019Exclusif\u201d version of Bleu de Chanel is the exception, however, and (<em>sacrebleu<\/em><em>!<\/em>) we may even prefer it to the original. The DNA of what makes Bleu de Chanel is still there\u2014the fresh opening, the smooth sandalwood dry-down\u2014but L\u2019Exclusif has an injection of labdanum, which somehow equates to a leathery quality that lends this an air of sophistication and maturity.

Cocktails and fragrance have a lot in common, but the last thing you want to do is smell as if you spilled a drink on yourself\u2014especially in that morning meeting with your boss. This one, however, would feel right at home in the C-suite. Yes, there is cognac in there, but it adds an aged, slightly sweet element instead of booze.

The first thing that hits your nose is rose, which may feel surprising at first, but as it dries the floral note decays into earthy oakmoss, warm amber, and animalic musks that take the flower to new dimensions with each sniff. It\u2019s conceptual and a little out of the box, but every time we\u2019ve worn it, someone has literally stopped us in our tracks to ask about it. If that\u2019s not the sign of a great fragrance, we don\u2019t know what is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esquire.com\/_assets\/design-tokens\/fre\/static\/icons\/eye-regular.e612290.svg\" alt=\"Image no longer available\" width=\"24\" height=\"auto\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features at a Glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Notes<\/td><td>Osmanthus absolute, Turkish rose, oakmoss absolute, fossilized amber, supernatural musks<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tecovas.com%2Fproducts%2Fwaterloo-ranger-station-fragrance&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C8fa5ab04-c729-4b0a-ae7a-c8eb6e891cd5%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7Cf41bed9c-fe82-4e21-bb65-44d7dcdf11f6%5Blt%7C%5Baxid%7C8a429ab0-03ca-4317-be4d-6b6b182d4e75%5D\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a class=\"product-image-link ebgq4gw2 e1b8bpvs0 css-iu7x6j e1c1bym14\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tecovas.com%2Fproducts%2Fwaterloo-ranger-station-fragrance&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C8fa5ab04-c729-4b0a-ae7a-c8eb6e891cd5%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7Cf41bed9c-fe82-4e21-bb65-44d7dcdf11f6%5Blt%7C%5Baxid%7C8a429ab0-03ca-4317-be4d-6b6b182d4e75%5D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/vader-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/1762809654-9a7227280559418a69adbff7cc8412c2fef4f400-2000x2500-copy-691256ebe1adc.jpg?crop=1xw:0.9993698802772527xh;center,top&amp;resize=980:*\" alt=\"Waterloo\" title=\"Waterloo\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tecovas.com%2Fproducts%2Fwaterloo-ranger-station-fragrance&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C8fa5ab04-c729-4b0a-ae7a-c8eb6e891cd5%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7Cf41bed9c-fe82-4e21-bb65-44d7dcdf11f6%5Blt%7C%5Baxid%7C2b3cbeb3-3c5e-4672-8317-a4c84e8a43e0%5D\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tecovas.com%2Fproducts%2Fwaterloo-ranger-station-fragrance&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C8fa5ab04-c729-4b0a-ae7a-c8eb6e891cd5%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7Cf41bed9c-fe82-4e21-bb65-44d7dcdf11f6%5Blt%7C%5Baxid%7C2b3cbeb3-3c5e-4672-8317-a4c84e8a43e0%5D\">Ranger Station x Tecovas Waterloo<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tecovas.com%2Fproducts%2Fwaterloo-ranger-station-fragrance&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C8fa5ab04-c729-4b0a-ae7a-c8eb6e891cd5%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7Cf41bed9c-fe82-4e21-bb65-44d7dcdf11f6%5Blt%7C%5Baxid%7Cdcfd9055-73ce-4755-b62d-f5be800f67e2%5D\">$94tecovas.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is one thing that Nashville-based niche perfumer Ranger Station does well, it\u2019s capture the essence of southern coolness.

It\u2019s really all about the parsley and fennel here, which may sound odd but in practice gives it a green element that\u2019s downright addictive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esquire.com\/_assets\/design-tokens\/fre\/static\/icons\/eye-regular.e612290.svg\" alt=\"Image no longer available\" width=\"24\" height=\"auto\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features at a Glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Notes<\/td><td>Hazelnut, espresso, orange, patchouli, artemisia, genet, parsley, fennel<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ulta.ztk5.net\/c\/3006986\/164999\/3037?subId1=esq&amp;subId3=xid:fr1765387168117nue&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ulta.com%2Fp%2Fintuition-eau-de-parfum-pimprod2053603%3Fsku%3D2646568\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a class=\"product-image-link ebgq4gw2 e1b8bpvs0 css-iu7x6j e1c1bym14\" href=\"https:\/\/ulta.ztk5.net\/c\/3006986\/164999\/3037?subId1=esq&amp;subId3=xid:fr1765387168117nue&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ulta.com%2Fp%2Fintuition-eau-de-parfum-pimprod2053603%3Fsku%3D2646568\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/vader-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/1762812690-2646568-copy-691262d5a25ce.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&amp;resize=980:*\" alt=\"Intuition\" title=\"Intuition\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ulta.ztk5.net\/c\/3006986\/164999\/3037?subId1=esq&amp;subId3=xid:fr1765387168117mjo&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ulta.com%2Fp%2Fintuition-eau-de-parfum-pimprod2053603%3Fsku%3D2646568\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ulta.ztk5.net\/c\/3006986\/164999\/3037?subId1=esq&amp;subId3=xid:fr1765387168117mjo&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ulta.com%2Fp%2Fintuition-eau-de-parfum-pimprod2053603%3Fsku%3D2646568\">Aramis Intuition<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ulta.ztk5.net\/c\/3006986\/164999\/3037?subId1=esq&amp;subId3=xid:fr1765387168117kbs&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ulta.com%2Fp%2Fintuition-eau-de-parfum-pimprod2053603%3Fsku%3D2646568\">$95Ulta Beauty<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the brand, this new cologne is a \u201cneo-fougere,\u201d which essentially means a new take on a classic men\u2019s fresh and woody scent. We can\u2019t argue with that. There is a classic element to this one that will remind you of the freshies and aquatic scents we all know and love, but there is also a new complexity delivered from a note called Cuirissima LXR, which is essentially a special leather note used only by Aramis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esquire.com\/_assets\/design-tokens\/fre\/static\/icons\/eye-regular.e612290.svg\" alt=\"Image no longer available\" width=\"24\" height=\"auto\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features at a Glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Notes<\/td><td>Grapefruit, lavender, vetiver, Cuirissima LXR<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Ffultonandroark.com%2Fcollections%2F226-club-collection%2Fproducts%2F226-club-extrait&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C5cbb8185-ef1d-4ad4-9ecf-75e13075a8d6%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7C6a7a93c8-cfd0-4149-b677-399f7a3fd8a0%5Blt%7C%5Baxid%7C557b160d-fcd2-48b9-979c-031a98c1a4e7%5D\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a class=\"product-image-link ebgq4gw2 e1b8bpvs0 css-iu7x6j e1c1bym14\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Ffultonandroark.com%2Fcollections%2F226-club-collection%2Fproducts%2F226-club-extrait&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C5cbb8185-ef1d-4ad4-9ecf-75e13075a8d6%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7C6a7a93c8-cfd0-4149-b677-399f7a3fd8a0%5Blt%7C%5Baxid%7C557b160d-fcd2-48b9-979c-031a98c1a4e7%5D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/vader-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/1762813072-226_Club_Extrait_de_Parfum.png?crop=0.718xw:0.889xh;0.144xw,0.0595xh&amp;resize=980:*\" alt=\"226 Club Extrait de Parfum\" title=\"226 Club Extrait de Parfum\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Ffultonandroark.com%2Fcollections%2F226-club-collection%2Fproducts%2F226-club-extrait&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C5cbb8185-ef1d-4ad4-9ecf-75e13075a8d6%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7C6a7a93c8-cfd0-4149-b677-399f7a3fd8a0%5Blt%7C%5Baxid%7C747e1b1c-4371-4e8e-b3bc-82c8226fe1cd%5D\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Ffultonandroark.com%2Fcollections%2F226-club-collection%2Fproducts%2F226-club-extrait&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C5cbb8185-ef1d-4ad4-9ecf-75e13075a8d6%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7C6a7a93c8-cfd0-4149-b677-399f7a3fd8a0%5Blt%7C%5Baxid%7C747e1b1c-4371-4e8e-b3bc-82c8226fe1cd%5D\">Fulton &amp; Roark 226 Club Extrait de Parfum<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Ffultonandroark.com%2Fcollections%2F226-club-collection%2Fproducts%2F226-club-extrait&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C5cbb8185-ef1d-4ad4-9ecf-75e13075a8d6%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7C6a7a93c8-cfd0-4149-b677-399f7a3fd8a0%5Blt%7C%5Baxid%7C4cff239c-3ac4-4785-8d8e-ed91bf188cd5%5D\">$205fultonandroark.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by the famous Chicago speakeasy, this easy and fresh fragrance is all about a party vibe. There\u2019s a sweetness to it from the sparkling tonic note that\u2019s tempered by orange bitters and a dash of spice. As it dries down, the soft woods take hold, but it never loses the easy, fun quality that gives it its wearability. Yes, it\u2019s inspired by parties, but we recommend wearing it any time you want. Use it to bring the party to you, not the other way around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esquire.com\/_assets\/design-tokens\/fre\/static\/icons\/eye-regular.e612290.svg\" alt=\"Image no longer available\" width=\"24\" height=\"auto\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features at a Glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Notes<\/td><td>Lemon, black pepper, orange bitters, geranium, tonic, star anise, vetiver, cedarwood, cashmere woods<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.harrys.com%2Fen%2Fproducts%2Fharrys-cologne%3FScent%3DKin&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C589ff66b-ecb6-4281-ae9a-d7eefc85eb2d%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7Cd8a9276e-038f-40b0-b846-1942af1ffe5a%5Blt%7C%5Baxid%7C91178e08-bc2a-423d-a3c6-cc8badeef58c%5D\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a class=\"product-image-link ebgq4gw2 e1b8bpvs0 css-iu7x6j e1c1bym14\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.harrys.com%2Fen%2Fproducts%2Fharrys-cologne%3FScent%3DKin&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C589ff66b-ecb6-4281-ae9a-d7eefc85eb2d%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7Cd8a9276e-038f-40b0-b846-1942af1ffe5a%5Blt%7C%5Baxid%7C91178e08-bc2a-423d-a3c6-cc8badeef58c%5D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/vader-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/1762814164-US_website_kin_01.jpg?crop=0.684xw:0.684xh;0.147xw,0.199xh&amp;resize=980:*\" alt=\"Kin\" title=\"Kin\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.harrys.com%2Fen%2Fproducts%2Fharrys-cologne%3FScent%3DKin&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C589ff66b-ecb6-4281-ae9a-d7eefc85eb2d%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7Cd8a9276e-038f-40b0-b846-1942af1ffe5a%5Blt%7C%5Baxid%7C39763ca5-a39b-4aac-a98d-014bb8ae90d2%5D\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.harrys.com%2Fen%2Fproducts%2Fharrys-cologne%3FScent%3DKin&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C589ff66b-ecb6-4281-ae9a-d7eefc85eb2d%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7Cd8a9276e-038f-40b0-b846-1942af1ffe5a%5Blt%7C%5Baxid%7C39763ca5-a39b-4aac-a98d-014bb8ae90d2%5D\">Harry\u2019s Kin<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.harrys.com%2Fen%2Fproducts%2Fharrys-cologne%3FScent%3DKin&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C589ff66b-ecb6-4281-ae9a-d7eefc85eb2d%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7Cd8a9276e-038f-40b0-b846-1942af1ffe5a%5Blt%7C%5Baxid%7Cc6af39f1-b53d-435d-8eb0-08126ae99b06%5D\">$35Harry&#8217;s<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leave it to Harry\u2019s to hit a home run right out of the gate. Our standout favorite from its first fragrance collection, Kin is a subtle take on woods that bucks the trend toward overpowering fragrances. With a hint of freshness and a dash of spice, this may be one of the best everyday colognes we\u2019ve tried in a long time. It\u2019s just enough to leave you smelling great, but it\u2019s not going to overpower the room.

But that doesn\u2019t mean every incense-based scent is good. Many of them are too heavy, too smoky, too cloudy. This new one, however, strikes the perfect balance between being undeniably incense-y and still light enough to wear for almost any occasion. There\u2019s a smoothness from the creamy accord and leather giving it a kind of skin quality and earthiness at the base from cedarwood, oakwood, and vetiver. You\u2019ll still come off as though you\u2019re doused in a healthy dose of sexy incense, but without smelling as if you just stepped out of a Catholic mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esquire.com\/_assets\/design-tokens\/fre\/static\/icons\/eye-regular.e612290.svg\" alt=\"Image no longer available\" width=\"24\" height=\"auto\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features at a Glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Note<\/td><td>Incense, clove, cardamom, leather, creamy accord, olibanum, cedarwood, oakwood, vetiver<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fkrigler.com%2Fproducts%2Foctave-aurum-25-2&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C0897bbf6-d578-4a53-91a2-2dac5e53625e%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7C6971a4a4-7cc7-4f72-b366-78a6afe9195f%5Blt%7Csale%5Baxid%7C57040d0a-52e2-4478-85ce-35bc01ca5307%5D\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a class=\"product-image-link ebgq4gw2 e1b8bpvs0 css-iu7x6j e1c1bym14\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fkrigler.com%2Fproducts%2Foctave-aurum-25-2&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C0897bbf6-d578-4a53-91a2-2dac5e53625e%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7C6971a4a4-7cc7-4f72-b366-78a6afe9195f%5Blt%7Csale%5Baxid%7C57040d0a-52e2-4478-85ce-35bc01ca5307%5D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/vader-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/1762814746-octave-aurum-02-1024x1024at2x-copy-69126b0e63a7f.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&amp;resize=980:*\" alt=\"Octave Aurum 25\" title=\"Octave Aurum 25\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fkrigler.com%2Fproducts%2Foctave-aurum-25-2&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C0897bbf6-d578-4a53-91a2-2dac5e53625e%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7C6971a4a4-7cc7-4f72-b366-78a6afe9195f%5Blt%7Csale%5Baxid%7C02ce4ed4-667f-4f31-80e2-fdc7569e9fd9%5D\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fkrigler.com%2Fproducts%2Foctave-aurum-25-2&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C0897bbf6-d578-4a53-91a2-2dac5e53625e%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7C6971a4a4-7cc7-4f72-b366-78a6afe9195f%5Blt%7Csale%5Baxid%7C02ce4ed4-667f-4f31-80e2-fdc7569e9fd9%5D\">Krigler Octave Aurum 25<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now 32% Off<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?id=74968X1525077&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fkrigler.com%2Fproducts%2Foctave-aurum-25-2&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Fstyle%2Fgrooming%2Fg69308323%2Fesquire-cologne-awards-2025%2F&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=%5Butm_source%7C%5Butm_campaign%7C%5Butm_medium%7C%5Bgclid%7C%5Bmsclkid%7C%5Bfbclid%7C%5Brefdomain%7Cwww.esquire.com%5Bcontent_id%7C9359ff6c-e1b1-4017-b089-a9c8b892694a%5Bcontent_product_id%7C0897bbf6-d578-4a53-91a2-2dac5e53625e%5Bproduct_retailer_id%7C6971a4a4-7cc7-4f72-b366-78a6afe9195f%5Blt%7Csale%5Baxid%7C77b1a4b2-e6fa-4bca-9e3c-0c872b82c773%5D\"><s>$1,260<\/s>$855krigler.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the kind of fragrance that\u2019s impossible to put your finger on.
