9 Powerful Fragrances for Men to Sample First

If presence is high on your list, these nine fragrances are worth a closer look. Back to Black, Enigma Parfum Cologne and Interlude 53 join options such as Guilty Absolute, Sauvage Elixir and Layton Exclusif. There’s a wide range of scents here, so I’d narrow the choices by what you enjoy before thinking about how much to apply.

Man in Black is a good example of why the full name matters: the Parfum in this lineup is separate from the original EDP. The guide below compares them. With any of these, start with a sample and a modest application so you can judge it in the setting where you plan to wear it.
