With the advent of the best sweet colognes for men, breaking the stereotypical barrier is a wise choice. By not restricting perfume enthusiasts to the common keynotes and aromatic families, sweet colognes for men tend to think are more 'masculine' - belonging to the three main sweet scent categories - floral, woody, or oriental scent families.

For instance, Ralph Lauren Polo Black, which combines floral notes of jasmine, falls under the sweet colognes for men category. Similarly, Demeter Sweet Orange offers an experimental fruity fragrance, delivering refreshing and light notes with natural sweetness.
