I'm interested. Looked on the other thread and all I saw was rose rose rose.

So apart from The Dreamer and Dior Homme, what have you?

I don't really know what your idea of 'masculine floral' might be. Some green florals perhaps? Or tuberose? Some indication of preferences would help.

For now, try these non-rose, mostly unisex scents with floral profiles:

Domenico Caraceni Ivy League
Chanel No 19 EDP
Chanel 31 rue Cambon
Sonoma Scent Studio Wood Violets
By Kilian Beyond Love
Histoires de Parfums Tubereuse La Animale

Not very masculine imo. Smells very feminine.

You are right, this is not very masculine but it is wearable for men. =)

+1 - I'm happy to recommend it. Very "old school".

APOM Pour Homme is a nice orange flower.

Caron Pour Homme & Nicolai Pour Homme are both great lavenders.

Geranium Pour Monsieur is absolutely terrific but the mint seems to frighten some people off - not me

Sorry I wasn't specific about "masculine", I wanted to leave it open. As we know, it's a rather ill-defined term.

I already have Grey Flannel and Insense. But the list right now will keep me sampling for a while. Thanks, guys.

Approximately 99.9% masculine fragrances have this floral notes + Carnation

IMO for better result we should look into Lily Of The Valley , Clary Sage, Orris, Neroli or Orange Blossom

You can try Clinique Aromatics Elixir. It's a feminine fragrance but wearable for men.

Somethings that now i remembered: CH by Carolina Herrera, Jil Sander Man, Fleur Du Male
