When you get right down to it, the cologne or fragrance you wear for summer is quite a lot like the rotation of summer-friendly clothing you’ve got on hand, isn’t it?

There’s a sense of lightweight airiness, something a touch more breezy than what you might wear in the colder months — that goes for your scent of choice as well as your wardrobe, for the record. The best colognes for men these days offer distinction and refinement, and a memorable, lasting touch (provided you don’t overdo it, that is).

And a cologne from a company like Ranger Station could be the ideal way to make your foray into the world of the best fragrance for men.

Consider it a far cry from the classic scents worn by your father and grandfather — there’s a time and a place for those, but there’s also a way to make a scent all your own, even if you don’t consider yourself a ‘cologne guy’ by any means.

Leave it to the expert curation of scent expert and Ranger Station founder Steve Soderholm — I recently connected with Steve over at Maxim.com, and thought it was high time to give the brand another look as you sort out everything from your seasonal wardrobe to your grooming game.

And yes, my friends — Ranger Station can assuredly help, starting with Ranger Station High Horse.

There’s a sense of rugged, gritty, Americana appeal woven throughout the brand, which calls Nashville home and has collaborated with the likes of the Waylon Jennings Estate on some seriously badass yet nuanced fragrances, including candles, diffusers, car cologne and even lotions.

The excellent and personal favorite Ranger Station High Horse fits nicely in this realm for summer, with plentiful citrus notes playing nicely with cedarwood and musk, among others.

It’s unique, it’s memorable and it’s carefully crafted — and you can test out the brand in smaller sizes or a discovery set to figure out what exactly suits your fancy (or catches the attention of those closes to you, if you know what I mean). Don’t sleep on the breezy, summer-friendly leanings of Ranger Station High Horse — it might reward you with an entirely new level of confidence or at least, a new favorite signature scent.
