A Brief & Captivating History Of Men’s Fragrance
LAST UPDATED Saturday 11th January, 2020

Men’s fragrances have come a long way since their ancient origins. Once upon a time, pleasantly scented potions were a matter of necessity. One’s nose was constantly assaulted by the unpleasant odours of smoke, rotting food, and open sewers. And that was just the people – imagine what the actual sewers smelled like. Today’s colognes don’t perform such a purely practical purpose, but they do serve a more interesting one: helping you get lucky. Pair the right scent with the right man and some kind of scorcery happens. If you don’t know what we’re talking about, you just haven’t met The One yet (scent, that is). Join us on a journey through the history of men’s fragrances, from the world’s first recorded chemist to today’s billion-dollar industry. EXPLORE THIS FEATURE
