October is in full swing, and your clothing wardrobe isn’t the only thing that deserves a serious refresh for fall. Between the start of cuffing season and colder temperatures on the horizon, there’s no better time to invest in a new cologne.

From tried-and-true scents that stand the test of time to exciting new releases from up-and-coming brands, we’ve rounded up the best fall fragrances for men to wear in 2023 and beyond.
Whether you’re looking to splurge, save or inspire your holiday shopping lists, our list of top men’s colognes for fall 2023 has something for everyone.
