Black Coat, Leather Jacket or Business Suit: 9 Men's Fragrances for October

9 min readErnast Flermont20

An October wardrobe calls for textured compositions: woody, spicy, leathery and green. These nine options cover a day in the city, the office and the evening, each with its own mood rather than one formula for every occasion.

Чёрное пальто, кожаная куртка или деловой костюм: 9 мужских ароматов для октября

1. Lalique Encre Indigo — tea, vetiver and cool greenery

Black tea, juniper, saffron and Madagascan vetiver create a dry, green-woody character with an earthy patchouli nuance. It is especially fitting for a cool October day and a black coat, for those drawn to restrained, unsweetened expression. Compared with the smoother Bleu de Chanel, it has a tea-and-vetiver edge and more noticeable greenery.

EDP, 100 ml: ₽4,860*.

2. Lolita Lempicka Lempicka Homme — anise and liquorice with gentle sweetness

Anise, liquorice and wormwood set a distinctive spicy-herbal opening, while rum, almond, sugar and vanilla soften it with a warm, powdery tone. It suits an evening walk or an informal get-together in cool weather, especially for those who enjoy sweetness with an unusual herbal twist. Compared with Pure XS, it is less dense in its leather and woods, with more play between anise and almond.

EDT, 100 ml (tester): ₽3,280*.

3. Jimmy Choo Man Blue — lavender, leather and a fruity touch

Lavender and black pepper open a composition in which apple and pineapple meet leather, cypress, vetiver and vanilla. It works for daytime in the city, after-work plans or a leather-jacket look when fresh spice and a soft leather note are wanted together. Unlike Hugo Boss The Scent Intense For Him, this version has fruity details and a cypress line rather than Maninka fruit.

EDT, 30 ml: ₽3,000*.

4. Chanel Bleu de Chanel — citrus, incense and woody restraint

Grapefruit, lemon, mint and pink pepper bring a clear opening, followed by ginger, incense, cedar, vetiver and sandalwood. It has a composed woody-citrus character for a workday and a business suit in October, when freshness is needed without overt sweetness. Beside Encre Indigo, it reads as less green and tea-like, and more citrus-and-incense-led.

EDT, 100 ml: ₽16,580*.

5. Paco Rabanne Pure XS — ginger, liqueur and sweet woods

Ginger, grapefruit and thyme lead into liqueur, cinnamon, leather and vanilla, while myrrh, sugar and cashmeran add warm woody sweetness. This composition is made for an evening, a bar or a date on a cold October night, and will appeal to those who welcome gourmand accents. It differs from Lempicka Homme through its liqueur-and-leather profile and spiced cinnamon in place of anise and liquorice.

EDT, 50 ml: ₽4,980*.

Cardamom and ginger set a spicy movement; lavender and Maninka fruit add a fruity nuance, while leather, vanilla and woody notes form a warm base. It suits an evening event or dinner in cool weather, especially for anyone seeking a contrast between fresh spices and vanilla-leather depth. Unlike Jimmy Choo Man Blue, it has no apple or pineapple, while Maninka gives the composition a more exotic profile.

EDP, 50 ml (tester): ₽10,580*.

Amalfi lemon and lavender create a bright aromatic note, carried into a sweetly woody direction by cedar, patchouli and vanilla. The fragrance suits a daytime outing, an office with a less formal dress code or a weekend look in October. Compared with Bois de Santal, it brings lemon freshness and vanilla, whereas Lagerfeld places sandalwood and herbal-spicy accents at the centre.

EDT, 50 ml: ₽4,020*.

8. Hermès H24 — sage, narcissus and green woods

Clary sage, narcissus, rosewood and sclarene form a green, woody and lightly spicy profile with a floral shade. It is a choice for the daytime city, the office or a walk in changeable October weather, when a contemporary green composition without vanilla weight is wanted. Among these fragrances, H24 stands apart for its narcissus and sclarene: it has neither the leather-and-liqueur theme of Pure XS nor the dry tea quality of Encre Indigo.

EDT, 50 ml: ₽4,790*.

9. Karl Lagerfeld Bois de Santal — sandalwood, palo santo and pepper

Black pepper, sage and cypress open a woody-herbal composition in which sandalwood meets palo santo. Consider it for a daytime meeting or a quiet October evening, particularly with a wool coat and an understated suit. Unlike Gucci Guilty Pour Homme, it has no lemon-and-vanilla axis; the focus remains on sandalwood, herbs and spices.

EDT, 50 ml: ₽2,270*.

The choice depends on which side of October you want to bring forward: dry tea, green woods, leathery spice or sweet evening warmth. Start with notes that already appeal to you and match them to a particular plan for the day, rather than the idea of one fragrance for the entire season.
