I’ve spent enough Prime Days chasing deals to know that the sweet scent of a great fragrance deal is one of the surest signs that a sale has officially started.

This year, sniff around and take in the fabulous-smelling list of fragrances, which includes perennial best-sellers from big-name luxury players like Armani, Burberry, Malin+Goetz, and others. To help you walk down the retailer’s aisles smelling a little better than when you entered them, I’ve included our absolute favorite discount colognes below.

GQ-Editor Approves Prime Day Cologne Deal
Calvin Klein: Eternity Eau de Toilette

Like the CK One, the Eternity caused a stir when it hit stores in the late ’80s. However, unlike its younger sibling, Eternity Squeeze is decidedly masculine, a fresh and woody formula with notes of sage, cedar and amber.
Hermès: Terre D’Hermès Eau Intense Vetiver Eau De Parfum
Hermes
Terre D’Hermes Eau Intense Vetiver Eau De Parfum
Even without the discount, it’s hard to resist the allure of Terre d’Hermès, a landmark fragrance blessed with the first name in centuries-old French craftsmanship. It is a reliable, invigorating, head-turning masculine fragrance that is perfect for all scenarios and seasons.
Giorgio Armani: Acqua di Gio Eau de Toilette Spray
Giorgio Armani
Acqua Di Gio Perfume
When Acqua di Gio dropped in the late ’90s, it helped establish Armani as a global ambassador of high-flying Italian vibes. Three decades on, it hasn’t lost its luster one bit – bright citrus up front, with a soft, subtle finish that never fails to create a lovely smell in the office. This version updates the OG formula with key hits of bergamot, ginger and rosemary, along with a whiff of patchouli for added mystery.
Azzaro: Most Wanted Eau De Parfum

Most Wanted Eau De Parfum
The distinctive aroma of Azaro is intense, long lasting and eye-catching. With spicy cardamom, sweet toffee and warm amber wood, it quietly doesn’t fade away. If you’re headed to the office, go easy—but if it’s date night, blast those pulse points and go without fear.
Polo Ralph Lauren: Polo Blue Eau de Toilette

If you’re wondering how the colors actually match the scent, here’s your answer: Blue packs in notes of watermelon, geranium and suede to inspire you to daydream about ocean views and summer breezes. This is definitely the lightest, most supple of the Polo series.
Polo Ralph Lauren: Polo Red Eau De Toilette

If your fragrance collection could use something with a little more horsepower, Polo Red is perfect for you. This fragrance blends juicy lemon, spice and rich woods in a formula that has been a bestseller for years.
Malin+Goetz: Strawberry Eau de Parfum

One of Malin+Goetz’s newest scents, the strawberry scent is exactly as delicious as you’d expect – and more sophisticated than you’d think. Sweet? Little. Complex? This is surprising.
Burberry: Touch Eau de Toilette
Burberry

Burberry’s colognes are as classic as its gabardine trenches. Take Touch, for example, a warm, woody EDT that is supported by top notes of mandarin tree, middle notes of cedar wood, and finished with vetiver, soft musk and tonka beans. It sounds great and smells even better.
Yves Saint Laurent: Myself Eau De Parfum Spray
Yves Saint Laurent
Myself Eau De Parfum Spray
The best summer scents should be light, airy, and fresh. Above all, it should not overpower and become the basis of your style and personality. With an opening of fresh accord and bergamot, middle notes of orange blossom and full heart, and a woody base including Indonesian patchouli and ambrofix, YSL’s Myself Eau de Parfum is exactly that. The scent is familiar and charming and never wears out its welcome.
Issey Miyake: L’Eau D’Essay Pour Homme Eau De Toilette
