7 Scents For The Rebellious Gent
Just because this is the rebel issue doesn’t mean we want you to disregard grooming. Quite the opposite actually, being a rebel requires you to both look like a bad ass and smell great. Think less florals and citrus (save that for early spring) and more subtle, masculine musk. To help out, we’ve rounded up seven of the best, rebel appropriate fragrances below. Pick one, and spritz away.
D.S. & DURGA
Cowboy Grass
They call it Cowboy Grass for a reason. It’s full-bodied and masculine, consisting of American sagebrush, flowering white thyme, and prairie switchgrass from the wild western territories.

FRAPIN
Speakeasy
Nightclubs, moonlit dinners, late night rendezvous – this one (with luxurious notes of rum extract, Russian mint, and smooth oriental leather) has got you covered.

ODIN NEW YORK
11 Semma
“A collection of notes from distant lands.” Think fresh chili pepper, cinnamon bark, and sweet tobacco. All scents that are both vaguely familiar and enduring, sure to be wonderfully bracing.

MALIN + GOETZ
Dark Rum
The company that brought you natural ingredients steps into the scent game. Warm notes, subtle, modern, and dynamic, Dark Rum consists of notes of rum (duh), leather, and amber.

Bois
Itruk
Lots of guys seem to think that a scent needs to be cranked to 10. Bois thinks otherwise with a fresh scent of cardamom jungle essence, woody amber, and vanilla. Subtlety is its own reward gentlemen.

ESCENTRIC MOLECULES
Escentric 01
Ecentric 01 is subtle and simple, paying homage to a single scent ingredient. It consists of pink pepper, green lime, and balsamic notes with a dry down of warm woody notes.

COMMODITY GOODS
Whiskey
Well, the name pretty much says it all. Centered around a blend of Whiskey, with hints of mahogany oak, sage, and cinnamon, this fragrance from Commodity Goods is perfect for a night out.
