Don't overlook earthy fragrances. I know, I know—in a world full of citrusy scents and woody ones, vanillas and tobaccos and florals, it's all-too easy to accidentally skip out on earthy colognes. But in my books, earthy colognes are an underrated essential. They can be rustic and deep, or light and fresh and sophisticated. Bold or understated, spicy or sweet, the best earthy fragrances for you are right here.

What makes a scent earthy can be slightly subjective. Most of the time, these fragrances will include some natural ingredients, whether it be basil or oakmoss or cedar or bergamot. They can still be fresh or spicy or woody, but earthy scents tend to have a distinctly grounded aroma, like the makers bottled up the scent of the actual earth and made it spritz-able.

No matter what your scent preference is, though, there's an earthy cologne for you. You can go sensual and moody with Tom Ford, bright and clean with Horace, wild and free with D.S. & Durga. The world is yours for the taking; get out there and find yourself an earthy cologne to conquer in.
