Warmer weather is right around the corner, and conventionally, the thaw of spring brings about lighter, more floral colognes filling store shelves. While brighter fragrances make sense for brighter days, I myself prefer to keep wearing a heartier cologne well into the warmer months. For the fellas that prefer something a little more full-bodied for their springtime scent, there's actually quite a selection. The real key to success is finding something that has a strong, slightly sporty base note, but is balanced by the lighter notes of a traditional spring juice. Who says that warmer weather has to box you into watery colognes? Give these warmer scents a try, and you'll be surprised at how your cold-season scent becomes a year-round contender.
Luna Rossa Extreme
Much like its bottle, this continental fragrance is bold and dark. It has a rich and peppery spice quality with a sweet vanilla finish thanks to subtle notes of lavender and juniper berries.
