In all sincerity, I am totally into all natural/plant based extracts and absolutely not harmful toxins when it comes to cologne/perfume.
The best cologne for men (au naturelle, probably sounds gross but it's very good)
3 leaves of basil
teaspoon fresh rosemary
one tiny splash pure patchouli oil
one teaspoon sugar cane
3/4 cabonated bottled water
one teaspoon mint extract
Mixed together in small jar and put small amount on the base of your neck and a little under armpits. Can also be used as a great face mask minus the patchouli, and a bit more sugar. It's a very fresh, clean, masculine smell. My husband uses this concoction to wash his hair and the mint freshens his scalp and he smells great all day. It might sound effeminate however it's a very masculine, pure scent that is refreshing and helps wake you up in the shower.
Any product by Aveda can give the same result (ie rosemary mint shampoo or body lotion).
