While all essential oil scents are appropriate for everyone, sometimes people are looking for more of a masculine scent. This might be because you are making them a shaving cream or cologne, or simply because you prefer these range of scents in your home. Here are some of the best masculine essential oils scents to choose from:
Vetiver
A very common scent that tends to be more on the masculine side is vetiver. Vetiver is more of an earthy scent, often referred to as a smoky scent. It is excellent for men’s cologne, often used in shaving creams, and other personal care products for men. You can even spray your briefcase or journal with it, and it gives it a wonderful masculine scent.
You can use vetiver alone or blend it with scents that complement it, such as tangerine or other citrus scents that are on the milder side. Try using it in an essential oil diffuser or add a few drops to your after shave.
Sandalwood
You may also want to use sandalwood, which is found in many masculine or men’s personal care products and scents. Sandalwood is more of a woody scent, though it has a mild sweetness, allowing you to use it for many different things.
One of the great things about sandalwood is that the scent tends to linger, so it lasts a longer period of time with less drops needing to be used. Sandalwood can increase your focus and improve your energy.
You can add sandalwood to any products, from cologne to face wash.
Scents for Men’s Cologne
There are certain scents that go together great in cologne for men or anyone who prefers more masculine or woodsy type scents. If you are looking to blend your own cologne in a more natural way, try citrus scents with a woody or earthy scent, like starting with patchouli or vetiver. You can then add something citrus, like blood orange, sweet orange, or tangerine.
Many people like to use coconut oil as the carrier oil, as it gives it a nice added scent.
