Everyone has their personal preferences when it comes to scents and fragrances. However, there is mostly a particular difference between scents and fragrances that women enjoy and those that men enjoy more.

When men have masculine scented candles, they relax and keep them well grounded, and floral scents do not have this effect on men as they do on women.

  • Scents Men Enjoy – Men enjoy natural wood scents like cedar, pine, and balsam fir. They will also opt for more oriental and spicy scents such as cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon. Some men like fresh citrus scents like bergamot, neroli, and grapefruit, while others enjoy more minty scents such as spearmint, peppermint, and wintergreen. Then there are more earthy scents, such as moss, patchouli, tobacco, bourbon, chair, and pumpkin, or Musky scents, which include tonka bean and amber. Cleaner scents such as linen, powder, and bay leaf may also be enjoyable to some men.
  • Scents to Avoid – There are a few unmasculine scents most men would not enjoy in a scented candle. They include Floral scents such as jasmine, gardenia, rose, and blossoms. Very fruity scents such as apple, peach, strawberry, and raspberry are usually not a favorite for men. Coconut and tropical scents usually also do not sit well with men.
  • Wood Wick Or Not? – When you have found the best scent but are trying to figure out what the best-scented candle will be for men, you will notice there are two options in wicks, mostly cloth, and some may have wooden wicks. Wooden wicks generally look much better and burn better than cloth ones, but they crackle and pop as they burn, which could be enjoyable. However, cloth wicks are more readily available, and wood-wick candles may be hard to find.
  • Candle Colors for Men – Even if you get the scent right, no man will enjoy an overly floral style or pink, purple and girly colored candle. It would be best to look for candles in jars and holders that are more masculine in style and color. Dark Blues, Dark Greens, white, browns, and black or grey are all suitable color options for men.

Musky and earthy scents are ideal for a man cave for watching sports, enjoying a game of cards, or pooling with friends.
