It's time to put away the bottles of Axe bodyspray and take out the cologne, gentlemen. You aren't in high school anymore. Invest in some quality cologne and you won't regret it -- nor will your significant other.

Here are the 5 best colognes from a large market.

Creed Green Irish Tweed Cologne

Creed Green Irish Tweed cologne was created for Cary Grant. It was later worn by Richard Gere and Robert Redford. Can you find a better endorsement than that?

This cologne has an athletic (in the good way) scent composed of sandalwood and Florentine iris. That's all to say that this is what a stylish man should smell like.

Terre D'Hermes Cologne

Most colognes have around 100 elements in them. Terre D'Hermes cologne has fewer than 30. The resulting scent is clean, earthy, and masculine. Forget prissy feminine colognes -- this is a man's cologne.

Tom Ford For Men Cologne

Nothing Tom Ford does is subtle. So the gold-plated label of his cologne Tom Ford for Men and the controversial ad campaign came as no shock. The cologne itself, however, is understated, with Ford replacing the musk with an Indian root called cypriol. If you're looking for something a bit more powerful, you'll have to pick up some Tom Ford For Men Extreme. Really.

Gucci Pour Homme II Cologne

The bottle design of Homme Cologne was actually Tom Ford's -- he was still with Gucci when it launched the brand in 2003. This cologne is more subtle than Pour Homme I but it's still extremely masculine. It blends bergamot, cinnamon, and tobacco with a layer of musk for an almost macho scent.

Givenchy Gentleman Cologne

Givenchy Gentleman Cologne -- you either love it or hate it. It hasn't changed since the 1970's and so some today find its scent too overpowering. It is reminiscient of lounge lizard types, so if that's your thing, then go for it -- and that is some people's thing. If, however, you want a lighter but similar scent, you can get Givenchy de Monsieur, introduced in 1959.
