Top 10 Best Selling Perfumes for Men in India (2020)
“Nothing is more memorable than a long-lasting scent.”
Every man makes his first impression-either at an interview or a date – with his smell. Us humans, we love to engage all our senses while gauging our environments. And scent turns out to be one of the most memorable aspects of a person, incident, or thing.
While shopping for perfumes is very challenging in person, shopping for ones online is an absolute gamble. Hence, before I begin recommending scents, it is imperative that you know certain technicalities of fragrances.
If you are looking for scents for women, you can check out Top 10 Best Selling Perfumes for Women. In this article, I am going to talk about the best selling perfumes for men.
Best Selling Perfumes for Men
Primarily, we need to take into account that aromas come in various forms and formulae, with each of them meant to do different things. For example, Eau De Parfum is a concentrated formula of aromatic oils and is intended to last longer.
Similarly, Eau De Toilette is a misty formula meant to give you a hint of fragrance simply; it is supposed to blend in with your natural body odor and enhance how you already smell. These are the least overpowering.
In the same way, you could define Colognes, Deodorants, and many more types of fragrances that are all supposed to perform different functions.
Every scent has stages of wear – it doesn’t smell the same throughout its wear (3-10 hours on average).
Most scents don’t fade away, and they just make way for a deeper scent to be unveiled. It is called the ‘layering’ of notes.
Top Notes are the ones that you smell right away after wearing them. Middle/Heart Notes are the transitioning notes that are unveiled once the Top Note wears off. The Base Note is the last rung of the ladder, which stays on your skin, after mixing with both the heart note and your body odor.
Every note has a certain degree of miscibility with its peers in the same concoction. Hence we must pair each layer with a complementary/suitably contrasting note to bring out the best in the scent.
But I know you must be wondering ‘How to do this while shopping online?’
It is understandably jarring because perfume shopping in real life itself is a gamble; you never know what the top note will fade out to reveal.
Many-a-times it is observed that the buyers get dissatisfied with the base notes.
Hence, you will notice that I have played it safe in terms of base notes while assembling this list of best selling perfumes for men – every base note is a classic scent that the majority of perfume-enthusiasts love.
All the experimental scents are either in top notes or have a very sure-shot outcome irrespective of your body-odor because they are known to not react with your skin’s chemistry.
Without any further ado, let’s have a look at our Top 10 Best selling Perfumes for Men in 2020.
Before getting into the actual list, here’s the standard disclaimer, which I think you should know before proceeding.

An Eau De Toilette with a warm and suave fragrance, the top notes for this include distinctive Cedarwood and citrusy musk aromas.

Shopping for manly scents is quite a task since usually the line between a men’s and women’s scent is towed by the good old musk.
With changing times and cultures, we are seeing that more and more women are beginning to wear black musk perfumes as well, making the quest for shopping in the already harder bracket of men’s fragrances even harder.
PBSOne way to step around it is by choosing a good number of heart notes that have a woody scent. Woody notes like oud wood, cedar, and sandalwood have a very masculine appeal. By mixing it with spicy and earthy base notes like cinnamon, you can steer clear of smelling too ‘womanly.’In this list of best selling perfumes for men, I have tried to include an extensive range of distinctly manly scents, while catering to the different noses of the masses.
From fruity to spicy, you will surely find your pick. But before you do, you need to keep a few things in mind. While buying perfumes online, it is essential to always check the ingredient list for allergy-inducing ingredients.
PBSAlso, after each purchase, make sure to spray it at the back of your ear to make sure you do not have any irritation caused by these perfumes.Since almost all perfumes in this list, have alcohol in their composition. Hence, you need to make sure that your skin is tolerant to a good dose of alcohol every once in a while.
Moreover, if you are buying these perfumes intending to gift them to someone, it is pertinent that you know how they prefer to smell.
PBSMany men hate to smell fruity because it seems a wee bit juvenile. Our scent preferences change over time as we mature, and we must take that into account.Also, make sure the person you are gifting perfumes doesn’t have any adverse skin conditions. If they do, refrain from gifting them alcohol-based perfumes as they can mess with their skin’s pH balance.
Park Avenue Good Grooming Kit For Men
Another grooming kit? You’re right.
It is raining ‘value for money’ in this list of best selling perfumes for men here. And this combo has no less than a whopping amount of eight components.
Each of these is top-notch in quality, because what else can you expect from Park Avenue, right?
Park Avenue doesn’t need an introduction as it has always been one of the best men’s brands in a varying number of cost brackets.
Ranging from perfumes to deodorants and shaving kits this combo has everything a man can need, regardless of whether he is traveling, using this on the daily, or getting it gifted to him by a loved one.

Pros:

Cons:
- The travel bag seems a wee bit flimsy, especially given that it is designed to carry 8 products, but it doesn’t seem all that deterring.
BRUT Deodorant, Sport Style
Armed with enormous goodwill for BRUT, this fragrance features bergamot, lemon, grapefruit, mandarin orange, sandalwood, and cedar.
This aromatic choice is for men who desire a fruity citrus aroma, while also holding onto subtle hints of sinful woody notes.
Opening with an invigorating top note of Citrus infused with Rosewood, this fragrance trails into a spicy, leathery heart note. The dry, wooden base note adds a touch of much-needed heat to the overall concoction, making the Fragrance Body Spray a very desired choice.
The other components of the combo are equally high, if not better, especially given that they come in a discounted combo.
Features:
- One bottle of Brut Deodorant, Sport Style (200 ml)
Pros:
- While being a great scent, it also happens to come in copious amounts. 200 ml deodorants for this price point are extremely rare
- Skin-friendly
- Has a very minimal amount of alcohol
Cons:
- The scent doesn’t last very long, which is a bummer
- It cannot be worn to places of high sweat/intense humid environments like gyms, etc. without losing the scent very quickly.
Skinn Verge Fragrance For Men
It is the same perfume that was bought in the combo-set of product number one on this list of best selling perfumes for men. If you are someone who likes the scent of floral accents and spearmint notes, this perfume is for you.
While it does come in a limited quantity, it is one of the more quality-rich products in the list where a little would go a long way.
It is an Eau De Parfum, which means that it has concentrated aromatic oils that react with your skin’s chemistry to give a scent that is unique to every wearer.
Features:
- One bottle of Skinn Verge Fragrance for Men (20 ml)
Pros:
- A little goes a long way, meaning it should last you a long while despite being small in quantity
- The hints of spearmint are a unique addition. Most men’s perfumes don’t venture into aromatic mint oils, and that makes this scent very memorable and unique
- Small in size, travel friendly
- Dermatologically tested
Cons:
- Depending on your skin’s chemistry, this may or may not be a long-lasting perfume
- Less quantity for the price point
- Contains a considerable amount of alcohol

Park Avenue Eau De Perfume, Conquer
Conquer has intense and well-rounded masculinity with top notes of Citrus, distilled with heart notes of exotic spices. Nuanced with a woody vanilla base note, it outshines many of its peers in the sheer contrast of its layering.
These layered notes play up every skin’s chemistry differently to deliver one of the unique scents in this list of best selling perfumes for men. Park Avenue truly out-did themselves with this one.
Wood and vanilla scents work great with other woody scents, but mixing it with spicy and citrusy smells just gives it an extra ‘oomph’ where it turns out to be a delectable concoction of sinful aroma.
Features:
- One bottle of Park Avenue Eau De Parfum (100 ml)
Pros:
- Small and pocket-sized- will hence fit everywhere easily, making it an ideal travel companion
- Classy bottle design
- Unique, identifiable scent
- Skin-friendly
- Appreciable quantity
Cons:
- None, other than that the combination of spicy and citrusy aromas may not be liked by many
✅ PBS Recommendation
Like every other top 10 product list, this list of best selling perfumes for men is also filled with options that have both good and bad elements to them. But in most cases, the good outweighs the bad by a significant margin.While trying to keep layered scents in this list, I have made sure that every fragrance’s top, heart and base notes have a sense of masculinity to them while also being experimental with fruity and traditionally ‘girly’ traits.
Out of all the outstanding scents in this list, I hold a little bias towards the ‘Park Avenue Eau De Parfum, Conquer’, because of its sheer smell and amazing layering of contrasts – all coupled with the unique packaging with a beautiful blend of black and gold.
This perfume, though on the high end among the best selling perfumes for men, delivers the worth of every penny spent on it by being everything it claims to be – unique, masculine, long-lasting, and sinfully memorable – truly a perfume for the modern man.
Choosing the right fragrances and scents for perfumes is an art – both for the buyer and the manufacturer. Knowing your skin’s chemistry and the way specific notes react with your natural body odor to create a blended aroma is the key to shopping effective perfumes that you cannot possibly go wrong.
That being said, this list of Top 10 Best Selling Perfumes for Men in India is not exhaustive, but just a segue into understanding the world of scents and aromas a bit better, so you can shop for perfumes without a lot of hassle or misses.
