Men's Wedding Colognes
You’ve dressed to your best and invited your loved ones to celebrate, so you probably want to ensure your big day remains an unforgettable memory.
One way to do this is by choosing the right cologne. Here’s how to find a suitable scent for you from some of the best wedding fragrances for men.
How to Choose the Right Cologne for Weddings?
The easiest way to determine which cologne is perfect for your special occasion is through its notes. If your wedding happens during the summer, light fragrances can help give you a cooling feel. Fresh notes like lavender, lime blossom, accords and rosemary can make you happier and keep you from drawing in the summer heat.
On the contrary, you can opt for warmer notes for winter weddings. Woody notes, alongside amber and patchouli, can smell seductive and long lasting. If you want to add more elegance, try choosing colognes with cinnamon or vanilla notes.
Another way to pick signature scents for weddings is to match the notes with your wedding attributes. For example, refer to your bride’s bouquet and choose floral notes. Some notes, such as jasmine, tuberose and orange blossom, can also give you a romantic scent to celebrate the love between you and your partner.

There’s a reason why Creed Aventus is highly popular: its pineapple scent is particularly loved. Another perk is that it can be strong and is named one of the most long lasting wedding fragrances for men. So, you’ll still smell fresh and sophisticated until the event ends.
