It has been said that women get attracted to men because of the way they smell more than the way they look. This is because the science of attraction has something to do with the sense of smell; it is the first thing a person notices about the opposite sex but it is hardly noticeable. When it comes to women being attracted to men, his smell is what will get her hooked. And since men are known to sweat 50% more than women do, it is necessary that a man smells good in order to attract the right partner.

Perfume and cologne are two different things but achieve the same purpose. There is no truth to whether men are more suited for cologne compared to perfume because it is about body chemistry and how it reacts with the fragrance. There are some colognes that have the word “sport” attached to it and that is one example of how the perfume or cologne was designed for men who still want to smell good while they exercise or who sweat often.

Smelling good is definitely a priority, especially those who want to find a suitable partner - so when it comes to finding the finest scents, some men would spend a lot of money just so they could smell their best.

These are the top 10 most expensive perfume for men:

10. Serge Lutens’ Borneo 1834 Cologne for Men ($135)

This is considered as one of the best colognes for men. It began as a perfume that suited both men and women.

Due to these two ingredients, there is a pleasant confusion that satisfies the senses.

9. Eau de Vert Eau de Parfum Spray by Miller Harris ($142)

Eau de Vart is an energizing, unisex scent as it opens with citrus notes. It develops into a mature character thanks to the marjoram and geranium. Its freshness can suit both men and women but is more suited to men because of its sharp scent. As it develops, there is a sweet musk that reveals itself.

8. L’eau Serge Lutens ($150)

This is a perfume that makes men smell fresh and crisp. Its scent reminds one of freshly pressed linens or a white soap bar fresh out of its box.

When it comes to smelling simple, fresh, and clean, this one is a great choice.

7. Straight to Heaven by Kilian ($225)

Straight to Heaven is one of the most popular scents for men and that might be thanks to rum. That’s right, rum was the inspiration behind this fragrance.

What makes this scent so well-loved is the way it was prepared. It follows old perfume tradition of using ingredients that are strictly vegetable in order for the fragrance to last hours long.

5. Clive Christian C perfume ($375)

This was an original scent for women but perhaps the British company decided they would give men an equal chance of smelling just as fresh.

4. Ambre Topkapi ($610)

There’s no wonder this fragrance is woody, spicy and fresh!

3. Annick Goutal’s Eau D’Hadrien ($1,500)

Not all perfume for men smell musky, woody, or spicy; a fresh citrus fragrance can suit a man just as well. Annick Goutal’s Eau D’Hadrien smells of a ripened fruit thanks to the Tuscan Sun.
