“You smell really good” is probably the best compliment you can give a man. It certainly is for me. It says so much really—of course it means I'm well-groomed, but it also conveys that I'm interesting, adventurous and unique. Which is why I'm usually up to try new colognes. Thankfully, there are always scents launching, reflecting the current moods and styles of the time. Perhaps that's why so many of the new fragrances debuting right now are kind of weird. But I mean that in the best possible way.

Typically, the thaw of spring brings about lighter, more floral colognes filling store shelves. And while, I'm all for a crisp, fresh-from-the-shower scent, these new bottles offer a lot more depth and intrigue. Some are unisex, a few feature all-natural plant oils and tinctures, while others utilize essences of resin, matcha green tea and money. The resulting fragrances are unlike your standard fare and because they're all crafted from quality juice, they tend to hang on your skin longer. Which is a good thing during the warmer months, when your skin tends to produce more oil, and we need our colognes to work a bit harder. Herewith, six of the coolest sprays to spritz on if you're looking to pull in a few compliments this summer.
