Best Amber Scent: Hugo Boss Bottled Elixir Eau de Parfum
Why It’s Worth It: If warm, amber-heavy fragrances are your thing, we suggest grabbing a bottle of the Hugo Boss Bottled Elixir Eau de Parfum. Its amber base note does the heavy lifting, but there’s more to this cologne than the aroma of warm resin. The fragrance is heightened with a spicy kick of incense, floral vetiver, and earthy cedarwood. It’s the smell of ego-free confidence, that suits everybody.
Key Notes: Amber, vetiver, incense, cedarwood | Available Sizes: 3.3 oz
Best Smoky Scent: Maison Margiela Replica Jazz Club Eau de Toilette
Why It’s Worth It: While Maison Margiela’s Jazz Club Eau de Toilette’s profile is that of a stereotypically masculine scent, with notes like rum and tobacco leaf, the fragrance has legions of fans to whom gender couldn’t matter less. This unisex, warm scent transports you straight to a smoky speakeasy, sinking into a worn-in leather chair while a meandering piano melody fills the room. If you’ve been looking to mix up your fragrance collection with something different but jarringly so, this is a cake-taker.
