Nothing sparks more interest than a guy wearing a floral scent. The best rose fragrances for men are dazzlingly bold, confident, and compliment inducing without smelling like you raided your grandmother’s perfume collection.
Rose is such a versatile floral note in perfumery. In male fragrance, rose provides effortless lift and pairs so well with spices, woods and zesty fruits. I strongly feel every guy should have a rose fragrance in his collection.

Review
Maison Francis Kurkdjian L’Homme À la Rose Eau de Parfum is a clean and fresh masculine fragrance that blends citrus with rose and resin notes.
The opening is sharp, with zesty grapefruit lightly dusted with sage. A heart of fragrant rose unleashes the whole shooting match, petals, stems and leaves. Amberwood and labdanum provide a little warmth in the base.
One of my favourite masculine rose fragrances, L’Homme À la Rose, is a bright, feel-good spring and summer scent that is even office safe. I have a full bottle!

Review
Le Labo Rose 31 Eau de Parfum is a seductive woody/rose fragrance that is classy, confident and well-balanced.
An opening of smokey/sweet cumin effortlessly leads to a heart of fragrant rose and woody vetiver. Upon dry-down, cedar and musk crank up the masculinity even further. Stunning.
I feel you can wear this woody/rose combo for any season and occasion. It’s well-balanced, so perfectly suitable for casual, formal, or office wear.

3. Tom Ford Rose Prick Eau de Parfum
![Tom Ford Rose Prick Eau de Parfum](jpg/tom-ford-rose-prick.jpg)
Review
Tom Ford Rose Prick Eau de Parfum is a unisex Chypre Floral fragrance that pairs no less than 3 types of rose with spices and musk.
The opening is spicy with pepper and turmeric, unleashing their nose-tingling warmth. A bouquet of rose (Turkish, Bulgarian and May) blends well with the initial spice. Musky/earth patchouli in the base adds depth and mystery.
I will go out on a limb and say this is an any-season male fragrance. It smells confident and sexy on a guy and draws in lots of compliments as it’s a little unusual.

4. Montale Black Aoud Eau de Parfum
![Montale Black Aoud Eau de Parfum](jpg/montale-black-aoud-1.jpg)
Review
Montale Black Oud Eau de Parfum is a warm and spicy rose fragrance with a fantastic woody base that feels fantastic the moment you apply it.
Warning, this fragrance opens like a nuclear explosion but soon settles to a stunning blend of rose and oud. It is supported by rich, resinous labdanum and a splash of orange. Dry-down introduces a spectacular display of earthy patchouli and musk.
Black Aoud Eau de Parfum is perfect for autumn/winter and blessed with beast-mode performance; this fragrance even made it onto my list of the 10 Best Men’s Fragrances For Sillage And Projection.

Bergamot, Saffron, Cloves
Mid Notes:
Rose, Jasmine, Patchouli Leaf, Amber
Base Notes:
Leather, White Musk, Sandalwood, Agarwood

5. Chanel Égoïste Eau de Toilette
![Chanel Égoïste Eau de Toilette](jpg/egoiste.jpg)
Review
Chanel Égoïste Eau de Toilette is a classic male woody/floral fragrance that is just as engaging now as it was when launched back in 1990.
The opening is woody right from the start, with mahogany and rosewood splashed with orange and coriander. Damask rose is prominent in the heart and dusted with cinnamon. Tobacco and vanilla creep in as this fragrance dries down to stamp their masculinity.
Settling to a classy woody and spicy/sweet rose fragrance, Égoïste Eau de Toilette is ideal for autumn/winter/spring and feels quite dressy. It would make an intriguing choice for a date fragrance as it’s not a common choice these days.

Top Notes:
Mahogany, Sicilian Mandarin, Brazilian Rosewood, Coriander
Mid Notes:
Carnation, Cinnamon, Damask Rose

6. Gucci Guilty Pour Homme Eau de Parfum
![Gucci Guilty Pour Homme Eau de Parfum](jpg/gucci-guilty-pour-homme.jpg)
Review
Gucci Guilty Pour Homme Eau de Parfum is a dazzlingly warm and spicy rose fragrance with an attention-seeking balsamic edge.
Rose is dominant in the opening and nicely spiced by chilli pepper that brings in a spicy/sweet balsamic scent that’s incredibly manly. Lavender and neroli are most prominent in the heart but never upstage the rose note. Dry-down is woody with a hint of musky patchouli.
This spicy rose fragrance is effortlessly masculine and ideal for any season and occasion. It can be worn when dressed casual running errands, suited and booted for a wedding, and everything in-between.
Top Notes:
Rose, Chilli Pepper
Mid Notes:
Orange Blossom, French Lavender, Neroli
Base Notes:
Cedar, Patchouli

As a refined gentlemen myself *cough*, I enjoy wearing classy fragrances when I’m all suited up. I often wear the ‘designer’ Chanel Pour Homme and Issey Miyake Pour Homme or Encens, but this year I’ve been looking at the niche fragrances and MFK is high on my list. I’ll have to check out l’Homme a la Rose! Thanks
