10 Best Aftershaves For Men (Insane Selection!)

If you’re looking for the perfect compliment to your robust natural scent, L’Eau fits the bill. Fitted with compliments of spice and amber, you’ll encapsulate the attention of every gorgeous woman you come into contact with. While L’Eau is best suited for evening wear, it compliments rugged looks, whether it be an off-the-cuff suit style, or a pair of jeans and a leather jacket. For the man that wants to be noticed for the right reasons, there’s L’Eau.

There are trends with men’s fragrances; they come and go, they rise and fall, but Old Spice has stood the test of time. As one of America’s top-rated brands, their aftershave compliments every time of day, and every type of man. Walk out of the restroom feeling refreshed like a pack of winter mint, and walk with the confidence to slay any beautiful dame that struts your way. Old Spice is best used in small amounts; one drop between each wrist, one drop for beneath your jaw. You’re ready, killer—get out there.

There’s two ways to describe a woody musk: The first is complimenting, while the other is, “Were you hunting deer for three days with no shower?” You never want to opt for the latter. The natural oils released in our skin blends with L’Occitane to craft an oaky musk, perfect for your evening attire. Keep your eyes on the ladies when they catch a gentle whiff of your scent; eyes will widen, gents. Eyes will widen.

No more razor burn, no more dry skin after shaving—sounds like a dream, right? Dreams were made to come true. Amazon’s top choice for aftershave comes down to impeccable encounters. Half the battle, as you well know, is getting the right scent to woo the ladies. The flip side of the coin is not hating the scent you’re stuck in, whether it be for burning or what have you. One sniff over the open bottle of Lather and Wood will have you in a sense of euphoria. You can imagine how it’ll work on the swooning crowds.

Value doesn’t have to come with a lower quality. One of the least pricey bottles on our list comes with one of the greatest scents you’ll ever have the pleasure of having cut across your walking path. This blend gives you a citrus and spice flair without focusing too much on the low-lying, woodsy musk that many aftershaves do. For a bit of extra pep in your step with the scent that beats the rest, Aramis helps you stand out from the crowd of men who stopped reading at product number four. That’s right; set the trend.

Aftershave comes with a varied set of price tags. Proraso affixes itself to fit every man’s style to the best of their abilities, and for the most part, does its job pretty damn well. If you’re looking for an all-day aftershave that’s going to last and attract, you’re staring it down right now. Proraso works against your natural must—hear me out—to overshadow it, and as the day goes on, it’s essence dilutes into a blend of your own natural scents, easing you into the night.

Women adore an inviting aroma (I mean, you have to smell it all day too, so it might as well be nice, yeah?)—enjoy the blends of citrus in grapefruit and tangerine, gently surrounding your face and neck. The manufacturer states that you should apply liberally—you can make this 8oz bottle last all year if you use it right. A few dabs here, a little for the wrists, and you’re ready to rock and roll on your own terms. Go get ‘em, tiger.

Shea butter is the answer for those of us with sensitive skin. If you have eczema or psoriasis, picking out aftershaves and colognes—basically anything with a fragrance—can be a nightmare. They react poorly on your skin, and leave you irritated. Shea butter is the answer to all of our problems. It not only hydrates your sensitive skin and keeps it smooth, but it prevents negative reactions such as blemishes and itching. Pre de Provence banked on the best substance on Earth to craft a perfect application with their signature scent, and they couldn’t have done it better.

Another excellent two-in-one. You get moisturizing effects to keep your face looking chiseled without any imperfections, while enjoying the smooth, cooling sensation that comes with this premier aftershave. The scents intermingle with your own, like a handshake or how-do-you-do, and work seamlessly to enhance your original musk; not mask it entirely. With Nivea, you’ll be a force to be reckoned with. Those eyes on your during your morning train commute? You can thank Nivea for the introduction.

It’s not that captain, and no, you can’t drink it—you get a much more holistic approach to aftershave. Witch hazel, alcohol (no, you still can’t drink it) and essential oils not only treat your skin with a cushiony, cool side of the pillow feeling, but it also leaves a light hint of natural scents. If you’ve been waiting for a confidence boost when you splash on your aftershave, well, they say good things come to those who wait—now you’ve found Captain’s Choice.
