Best woody perfumes for him in 2026

There’s a lot to consider when you’re deciding which fragrance to wear. It needs to suit your personality as well as the scenario at hand, be it a summer sojourn to the south of France or an autumnal weekend in the Cotswolds, meaning no aftershave works 24/7.

So, even if you feel like you’ve found your forever fragrance, it’s good to have a strong selection on rotation which you can sub in whenever it feels appropriate. Now we’re entering the winter season, it’s time to start thinking about the colder months ahead. For me, it’s the stage of the year where I shelve my lightweight citrussy blends and reach for those with warming woody notes instead.
