ou have spent hours upon hours clandestinely primping yourself - in a manly way, of course. Your hair, your attire, your teeth, and even your gait have, over time, evolved and coalesced, making you into the shining, swaggering giant that you are today. To fully realize your masterpiece (i.e. you), you need one last ingredient: the apposite scent. Like the way you look, what you say, and how you say it, the way you smell is a defining characteristic. Yet again, Martiniboys.com is here for you; we have compiled a list of this season's must-have colognes, just for you (and you and you). You're welcome.

Euphoria Men by Calvin Klein
Olfactory ecstasy from the king of fashion-house fragrances, Calvin Klein's Euphoria line has caused a splash with its orgy of cedar leaves, patchouli, Brazilian redwood, sudachi, sage, and a number of other judiciously chosen participants. On the heels of its femme counterpart Euphoria debuted to the hum of scent-snob salivation. Subtle and warm, the Asian-influenced Euphoria is jubilant yet refined.



Comme Des Garcons 8 88
Thanks to Comme Des Garcons you can finally smell like gold. You’re

There are many great colognes out there, but there’s only one Boss.

thinking, "Gold doesn’t even have a smell." You’re right, but that doesn’t matter because 8 88 is intended to capture the imaginary scent of gold. People walking by won’t quite be able to figure out why they think you smell like a million bucks, but they won’t be able to stop thinking about it.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue
Do you fancy yourself the quintessential Mediterranean male? Charming, seductive, irresistible; sexually spontaneous, passionate, and adventurous? According to D&G, it would also mean that you sport white, bikini cut bathing suits, your perfectly muscular body is tanned, you have a well oiled head of hair, and you are stuck at sea with a gorgeous model in a wet white shirt to be your sex slave at whim. If only those things could come bottled. But alas, you will have to settle for the newest scent by the Italian duo, Light Blue, with hints of bergamot, Sicilian mandarin, grapefruit peel, rosewood, oak moss, and rosemary.


Boss Pure
Hugo Boss's fragrance is called, simply enough, Boss Pure. This latest release combines a wood base that gives off a rustic odor that smacks elegance, with a gentle splash of fig water to soften the blow. Boss Pure is available in eau de toilette, after-shave lotion, after-shave balm, shower gel and deodorant, so you can cover yourself in the odor for every conceivable occasion. Put a little on and watch how quickly everyone you know starts acting differently around you. You’ll be shocked how much people will appreciate this cologne after all the inferior knockoffs you’ve been wearing. Seriously, you’ve got to throw that crap out.


Prada Tendre
We knew it was coming – Asia's taking over the world. Not only is the continent booming economically and technologically, but they are also now the ones controlling… you won't believe this… Prada. Well, their fragrance at least. The brand is following in the footsteps of Calvin Klein's Euphoria Blossom fragrance with their new subtle and delicate scent, Prada Tendre, by marketing to the Asian market where light fragrances are coveted and heavy ones abhorred. You know how Asian fashion is all funky, fun and young? Well Prada's new fragrance goes down that road but with less sultry aroma than the runway designer's previous fragrance.


Calvin Klein Man

An instantly pleasing cologne for the forthright set, Calvin Klein Man debuted last autumn. Portended by its name, the scent has a refreshing simplicity. Amalgamating rosemary, bergamot, violet leaf, bay, incense, nutmeg, cypress wood, sandalwood, musk, and dashes of sundry other subtle, spicy, and warm ingredients, it effuses a straightforward, well, masculinity. Even its chic, unadorned bottle retains the no-nonsense theme.
