Whether you're looking for a gift for the hot man in your life, or perhaps you want to smell like a hot man yourself (we love this for you, boo), we've got you covered.
We've put in the hard yards for you and undergone hours of tedious research to find our sexiest fragrances for men.
Don't be fooled – we loved every second of this scent-sory experience, to pull together a list of the 5 best hot man fragrances of all time.
Let's get stuck straight into it, shall we?
1. DIOR Sauvage Eau de Parfum.
It wouldn't be a complete list of hot man fragrances if this fan favourite didn't get a mention, now would it?
Easily identifiable by its intense trail and mysterious freshness, this signature fragrance is an absolute must-have for all fragrance lovers.
What Are the Notes in DIOR Sauvage Eau de Parfum?
DIOR Perfume Creator, Francois Demachy, drew inspiration from the desert at the magical twilight hour to create this spirited, sensual and spicy signature fragrance.
And now, for your imaginative pleasure, a breakdown of the notes that make this fragrance so sought after.
- Head notes: Bergamot, mandarin orange and elemi.
- Heart notes: Sandalwood.
- Base notes: Olibanum, tonka bean and vanilla.
If these random words mean nothing to you, allow me to be of some assistance: think smokey vanilla, warm woody trails and a touch of spice.
To put it simply, I'm about 98% sure DIOR Sauvage EDP is Idris Elba in perfume form.

2. Creed Silver Mountain Water EDP.
If you’re familiar with Creed’s cult fave fragrance, Aventus, then Silver Mountain Water needs no introduction.
However, for those of you whose nostrils are yet to be blessed with a Creed fragrance, allow me to introduce you to Silver Mountain Water.
Picture this: You’re standing on top of the Swiss Alps.
You take a deep breath in as you admire the view, crisp air filling your lungs and the hushed morning breeze lapping over the tips of your cheeks.
Picturing it yet? Ok, good.
That's exactly how this fragrance smells.

Dispersing light notes of green tea, sandalwood and musk throughout its course of wear, this zesty fragrance is an ideal signature fragrance for any hot man, woman or person.
