If you're looking for something specifically very floral, you can't just go by one note in a fragrance directoy - if you look for Jasmine or Orange Blossom, Cool Water will show up, but they're hardly what you're looking for.
I love flower fragrances, and I've found several that work well on me. Ayala Sender (who posted above) has Yasmin and Zohar, which are Jasmine and Orange Blossom, both exquisite, and like she says, they work well on male skin - I've worn them both and still have some Yasmin left - Zohar is maybe more masculine as it's slightly spiced.
Serge Lutens has A La Nuit which is another Jasmine - smells just like the flowers, sweeter than Yasmin, which is more ethereal. Yasmin probably works better on a man than La Nuit, but I use them both.
L'Occitane, Serge Lutens and l'Artisan have very good orange blossom and orange leaf fragrances that are totally wearable by a man.
If you want a floral that isn't just primarily flowers, try Cedre by Serge Lutens - it's amazing - tuberose is the prominent note and is such a great partner for the cedar - it's very floral and masculine at the same time.
I tried Samsara with is Jasmine with other things that I can't remember but it was orientalish and nice.
Some things don't work at all - I tried Jasmal which is Creed's Jasmine Rose blend and it's just way too feminine and I couldn't pull it off.
I'm sure there's more, but that's the limit of my experience!
