So, here are the best smelling fragrances for teachers:
Burberry London for Men
Middle notes are Leather and Mimosa;
Base notes are Tobacco Leaf, Opoponax, Guaiac Wood and Oakmoss.
London of Men is hands down one of my favourite colognes. It makes a guy look like an absolute gentleman. It is one of the best fragrances from Burberry’s men section in my opinion.
The packaging and bottle of London of Men are done so creatively. It was released in 2006 and yet it has one of the most unique designs you will ever come across till date.
Right from the beginning, the cologne serves you with citrus, lavender and a little bit of cinnamon. It has a combination of sweet and spicy notes. The blend is done so well that the two flavors work hand on hand.
It has a soft dry down of tobacco and oakmoss. So for the softness, the lasting power is not that long. It stays for 5 to 6 hours maximum.
WHEN TO WEAR:
London of Men is a perfect winter and fall cologne. It smells like holiday. I know how teachers love their profession so I think they would not mind smelling like a holiday at their work.
WHY YOU SHOULD BUY THIS:
- Soft and breathtaking.
- Refreshing and cosy at the same time.
Dior Homme Original EDT
Middle notes are Iris, Cacao and Amber;
Base notes are Leather, Vetiver and Patchouli
Dior Homme was first released in 2011. After that it has been re-introduced under the same name with different formulation and packaging. And I am going to review the new one as I have tested it from one of my friends.
It is a cologne which can be pulled off by anybody. It’s easy to wear as the crowd loves it for the beautiful mixture of bergamot and lavender. It is a clean and fresh scent which is exactly what you need as a teacher.

As you may know, Dior is known for producing high-quality perfumes, and Eau Sauvage is no exception. It’s an ancient soul, having been released in 1966.
This cologne holds a special place in my heart because it was my father’s signature cologne. So this is the cologne I would pick up whenever he was getting ready to leave the house.
Lemon, bergamot, rosemary, woodsy components, and musk are the most dominant notes. It reigns supreme over all lemon-based summer fragrances. This is the standard by which they are all measured.
Eau Sauvage has such a zesty and sharp lemon flavor to it that it tastes like it was just plucked off the tree. This invigorating and mature scent will make you feel both manly and stylish.
WHEN TO WEAR:
It is unmistakably for the spring and summer seasons.The freshness from Lemon will instantly raise your spirits and boost confidence when you take classes.

It has a refreshing start with lemon and mint aromas that remind you of summer. These notes are complemented by a strong floral presence from jasmine and peony.
Lemon and mint are the most prominent components of this fragrance. The mint doesn’t have a strong menthol kick to it; instead, it functions as a refreshing, uplifting refresher. It also draws attention to the citrus notes in the bottle.
Later you’ll receive a woody vibe with a little bit of cedar slowly creeping through. This perfume appeals to a wide range of people.

Ralph Lauren released a perfume with a plain and simple bottle called ‘Romance’. It is an old one as it came out in 1998.
I have a special connection with Romance as my mother had this bottle when I was young. It is a timeless scent. Romance still smells modern and classy.
On the top, the perfume is bright and a little zesty. Then it settles into a floral composition and the zestiness goes away with time.The florals make the scent blossom. Rose is the most prominent floral note here.
The perfume dries down with a lot of patchouli and a tiny bit of musk. This anchors the fragrance.

It wasn’t until recently that I had the chance to sniff Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden. If you asked me to describe this perfume in one word, I’d say it’s a zen scent.
Green Tea does not have a strong scent, but neither does it have a light one. The green tea starts out with a fairly intense citrus flavor. In addition, jasmine is used to give it a floral touch. The smell begins with a bright and lovely opening.
It’s a hit with the crowd. When you put Green Tea on, everyone will notice how good you smell. It’s also quite simple to pull off.
The citrus fades away in the dry down, leaving the green tea to take the center stage, making the perfume wonderfully soothing.
It lasted 5 to 6 hours on my skin. To be honest, I didn’t anticipate this perfume to persist as long as it did, but I was pleasantly delighted.

White linen has a particular place in my heart because it was my favourite aunt’s signature perfume when I was growing up. And I’m sure you’ve smelled it somewhere because it’s a well-known perfume.
Estee Lauder has created a floral bouquet with this perfume. When you smell it, you’ll feel like you’ve been struck in the face by a flower bouquet, but in a nice manner.
Furthermore, the aldehydes are powerful, sparkling, and effervescent. Hyacinth adds a peppery and green note to the dish. Hyacinth also has a vintage tone to it because perfumers don’t utilize it very often nowadays.

Prada Infusion d’Iris
The aroma of Infusion d’Iris (2015) was noticeable from the first spritz on my skin. It infused the space with a lovely scent right away.
This perfume contains a hint of sweet and powdery vibe, as well as a hint of bitterness. The bitterness of the smell works well with the other components and balances the scent.
It will give you the impression that it is a safe and simple floral based perfume. However, if you think about it, you’ll realize that Infusion d’Iris (2015) lacks traditional florals.
All of the notes are squabbling to get along. It also provides you with a one-of-a-kind experience.
WHEN TO WEAR:
The beautiful thing about this perfume is that you can wear it all year round. It’s appropriate for every season or occasion.
It has a 5- to 6-hour lasting power on my skin and projects moderately.
WHY YOU SHOULD BUY THIS:
- A killer combination of notes brings you a compliment.
- Very unique.
Prada Luna Rossa Carbon
Base notes are Ambroxan and Patchouli.
The house of Prada is one of my favourite houses. But the Prada fragrance which is the best for teachers is a flanker of Luna Rossa aka Luna Rossa Carbon.
I smelt this perfume at the very beginning of its release which was in 2017 from one of my friends’ bottles.
I fell in love with the fresh bergamot opening with a little bit of pepper. The note breakdown has a lot of elements.
But to be honest I don’t get all those heavy notes like ambroxan and the metallic notes.
Instead, it feels like a simple and clean fragrance, perfect for wearing in a class.
Luna Rossa Carbon is soft and delicate cologne. however it performs really well. And everyone will love this scent. There is no doubt about it.
