Buy a Great Cologne—at an Even Better Discount—Before the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Ends

I can't go more than five blocks in New York without catching a whiff of Santal 33. The now-ubiquitous blend of sandalwood, violet, and cardamom is still addictive every time I smell it. It's a contemporary classic. Don't listen to the people saying it's last year's fragrance.

A scent so bright and refreshing, it earned a coveted spot in our 2024 Grooming Awards. Polo 67's blend of bergamot, pineapple, and vetiver is an instant pick-me-up, and this set includes a bonus travel size to stash in your gym bag.

Maison Margiela's Replica line is designed to evoke specific feelings and memories, and this trio of travel-sized sprays captures all the warm, cozy energy of fall. Jazz Club smells like a worn leather booth and lingering cigar smoke. By The Fireplace is smoky and sweet, like a real wood-burning fire. Autumn Vibes recalls a crisp morning walk through the woods.

Think of Montblanc Explorer as the blue jeans of cologne: versatile, easygoing, and universally loved. This best-seller balances citrus with woodsy depth, anchored by ambroxan for a long-lasting finish.

Any self-respecting cologne lover should have at least one Creed fragrance in his collection, and this discovery set features three of the brand's most distinguished. Aventus is bold, with notes of pineapple and patchouli. Silver Mountain Water leans earthier, layered with tea and citrus. Millésime Impérial rounds out the trio with an aquatic, summer-ready profile.

One of our favorite fresh colognes for men, Terre d’Hermès EDT is an easy, everyday scent with notes of grapefruit, patchouli, and cedar. This set comes with two full-sized bottles, so you'll have a backup for when you inevitably run out.

For a brisk, mineralic scent that evokes rugged cliffsides and crashing ocean waves, our editors swear by Jo Malone's Wood Sage & Sea Salt. We even named it one of the best colognes of all time. Light and airy, it's a safe pick for the office.

Feeling indecisive? This Maison Francis Kurkdjian discovery set stars all of the French perfume house's greatest hits. Yes, that includes the iconic Baccarat Rouge 540, but don't sleep on under-the-radar favorites like 724 and l'Homme À La Rose.

This seductive blend of lavender, benzoin, and vanilla has earned quite the reputation on #FragranceTok, thanks to its impressive sillage and staying power. With its warm, honeyed scent profile, it's a standout for date night and colder weather.

Not ready to commit to a full bottle? This discovery set features three trial-size versions of Le Labo's most popular scents: the musky, your-skin-but-better Another 13; the lush, green Eucalyptus 20; and, of course, the aforementioned Santal 33.

The quintessential going-out fragrance, Versace's Eros has become a mainstay at nightclubs for good reason. Bold notes of mint, green apple, geranium, and cedar keep the energy high well into the night.

While it's technically still summer, it doesn't hurt to start building your cold-weather cologne rotation. With notes of vanilla, rose damascena, tonka bean, and patchouli, 1 Million Elixir is a sweet, spicy aroma that shines in fall and winter. Just be warned: A little goes a long way. Don't be the guy who oversprays.

Simple and understated, Kiehl's Original Musk is elegance in a bottle. It balances soft florals like neroli, ylang-ylang, and lily with rich tonka bean and white patchouli. Now on sale for just $33, it won't put a dent in your wallet, either.

Uomo Born in Roma offers a modern twist on your run-of-the-mill designer cologne, thanks to a hint of mineral salt that sharpens its woody vetiver base. The eye-catching studded bottle is just the cherry on top.

Don't let the name fool you. This cologne won't have you smelling like last call at a dive bar. Instead, Malin+Goetz's Dark Rum is surprisingly fresh and fruity, with notes of plum, bergamot, leather, and amber.

A scent for the sophisticated gentleman, Dolce & Gabbana's The One marries spicy, herbal notes of cardamom, coriander, ginger, and basil with tobacco and cedar. It's a silky-smooth pick that's sure to impress, and this gift set includes a matching shower gel to round out your grooming routine.
