5 Great-Smelling Colognes For The Holidays | Best Men's Colognes

About this video

Sacawa reviews five fragrances he considers appropriate for seasonal occasions like holiday parties and New Year’s Eve, discussing each scent’s characteristics, projection, and masculine appeal. He emphasizes that fragrance selection deserves the same thoughtful consideration as other outfit details, and recommends classic and contemporary options ranging from accessible to niche brands.

Key takeaways

  • Sacawa argues that fragrance is the final detail of an outfit and warrants as much attention as accessories like ties or pocket squares
  • Sacawa recommends Ralph Lauren Polo Green as an all-time classic with earthy, woody notes of pine, fur, leather, and tobacco
  • Sacawa recommends Tom Ford Ombré Leather for its prominent leather note, strong sillage, and what he describes as the distinctly ‘sexy’ quality characteristic of Tom Ford fragrances
  • Sacawa recommends Creed Original Santal as a versatile everyday fragrance with subtle sandalwood that transitions well from casual to special occasions
  • Sacawa recommends Arquiste Nanban as a unique, powerful fragrance with strong projection that evokes exotic spices and tropical woods, and Penhaligon’s Sartorial as a sophisticated fougere-based scent designed to evoke a classic tailor shop
