If you’re tired of artificial scents that smell more like candy than cologne, it’s time to turn to earthy fragrances. Our favorite earthy colognes bottle up the best scents found in nature and add a subtle twist—they ground you and then surprise you, all while exuding rustic swagger. Earthy fragrances can be deep and dirty (in a good way), but they can also be light and fresh. Most earthy colognes include some natural ingredients, some popular scent notes being basil, oakmoss, patchouli, vetiver, and any type of woods. These herbal, grassy, and woody notes can be balanced out by fresh, spicy, or sweet notes to lighten the mood and provide some intrigue.
