My name is Iain and I've worked in the Beauty Industry for 8 years now. I've been on the front line in store helping people navigate the world of skin, as well as worked in education, artistry and marketing. When I'm not writing about skincare, you can find me over at Instagram talking about beauty or working on my PhD.
Fun fact: the sense of smell is more closely linked with memory than any other sense!
That means you should find a fragrance in Australia that fits you like a glove so people remember you even more clearly.
Lucky for you, I’ve rounded up my top 10 perfumes for men in Australia from some of the best men’s fragrance brands to help you navigate this process.
7 Best Men's Perfumes1. The meditative woody scent - Aesop Hwyl Eau de Parfum 50ml
Why it's so good: Imagine an old, abandoned library in the middle of a cypress forest. All the windows and doors are open. Suddenly, warm, dry air blows into this space. This is a subtle scent initially but one that builds over time. The Sandalwood in the base keeps this fragrance grounded. Geranium and Suede in the heart bring a hint of subdued sweetness. Hwyl embodies calm, strength, and the quiet stillness of nature. Truly a unique and alluring perfume for men in Australia.
2. The scent that embodies masculinity and power - Creed Aventus EDP 100ml
Why it's so good: Aventus, inspired by Napoleon Bonaparte, is classy and sophisticated. The fruity opening of Pineapple quickly transforms into a manly Musk-Wood combination that smells like power and glory. It’s crisp and clean, with no hint of soapiness. Aventus is a mens perfume in Australia that announces your entrance into a room and gets people asking what you’re wearing. This is the mens fragrance you wear when you need to take on the world and win every single time.
3. The celebration of the modern man - CALVIN KLEIN Eternity for Men Eau de Parfum 100ml
Why it's so good: Masculine, sensual, and fougère, Eternity is rugged yet refined and brings an earthy green edge to your fragrance collection. It opens with Sage and Green Apple before the Cypress emerges to solidify it as a strong, masculine fragrance in Australia. This is one of the best men’s fragrances in Australia for the office as it perfectly walks the line between formal and casual. It’s also perfect year-round, regardless of the temperature. It gives you an approachable air, smelling wonderful and lasting a full workday.
4. The alcohol-free men’s fragrance option - HERMETICA Redmoon 50ml
Why it's so good: If you find that your skin doesn’t tolerate the high alcohol content of traditional mens fragrances in Australia, this is the scent for you. Completely alcohol-free, blending both natural extracts and synthetic molecules, Redmoon is a chameleon. Vetiver and Pink Pepper give a fresh scent that’s lush and exotic. The Leather Amber molecule in this scent brings warmth and intensity with a mysterious edge to it. Redmoon is a truly addictive scent.
5. The endless possibility of being in a new city - Burberry Mr. Burberry Eau de Parfum 100ml
Why it's so good: Classy and reserved, Mr. Burberry is the scent for the modern man who enjoys exploring his wanderlust and every new avenue. A strong compliment-magnet, it smells almost like resin thanks to the Woody accords and Benzoin, offering complexity and depth. It projects well, pleasing those who have the joy of smelling you as they pass. It leaves you feeling fresh, put-together, and ready to venture out into the world and discover all opportunities. This is the men's perfume in Australia that you buy when you're not sure where to start. Trust us on this one.
6. Transport yourself to old cigar bars and endless glamour - Lumira Parfum Cuban Tobacco EDP 50ml
Why it's so good: Cuban Tobacco is intoxicating and highly sophisticated, bringing a sense of old-world glamour. Smoky yet sweet at the same time, this scent opens with Cardamon and Clove, which are balanced by Tangerine. The Tobacco underpins the entire scent, yielding a captivating smokiness that feels modern yet classic at the same time. Truly a mens perfume that exemplifies a bold man. Appropriate for all situations but particularly appropriate when a suit is required.
7. The scent of a king: mature, classy and bold - Amouage Interlude Man 50ml
Why it's so good: Interlude Man opens with a strong projection of Spices, Woody accords, and slightly sweet Resin-based accords. Oregano brings a fascinating twist, giving an earthy note that has a spiciness to it. The Oud in this fragrance comes across as a strong wood that brings an almost animalistic quality to the scent. This is a potent, bold, and mature men's fragrance, ideal for the most powerful of men. Interlude Man commands those who smell it and gives an air of royalty to the wearer that could be further defined only by a crown.
