I'm curious about what clary sage smells like, and if there is a cologne with a lot of it.
Chanel's Antaeus opens with lots of clary sage... I'm sure there might be better options, but this sprang to mind.
I notice clary sage most in Andy Tauer's Vetiver Dance and Lonestar Memories and also in Miller Harris Terre de Bois but it is not the most prominent note in those fragrances.

Yeah, Antaeus. Dry sage and florals -----> dusty beeswax and ambery leather. A favorite of mine.

Trumpers Sandalwood cologne has a strong clary sage note

Tom Ford - Moss Breches has loads of clary sage in the top notes if i'm not mistaken.
I have some clary sage EO and it is VERY powerful. Sage and celery leaves is its character.

I swear I'm not being a smartass, but save your money and go smell the sage in your kitchen cabinet. Notice how it smells sweet, almost like tea more than bright herbs. It's a beautiful smell...
Has everyone checked out my Top 100 Blog??
Clary sage and sage are not the same, and I don't think they smell the same either?
buy some clary sage essential oil. it's inexpensive and good to have around. as mentioned above, it's not sage. clary sage is a widely used e.o. with multiple applications. sage has strong therapeutic properties but covers a smaller spectrum.
off hand, leonard pour homme and patou pour homme have a fairly strong clary sage note.
good e.o. books - the complete book of essential oils and aromatherapy by worwood and the fragrant mind by worwood
old-school frags from 70-80`s has a good clary sage start-heart accord.
Besides mentioned, there`re Balafre, Drakkar (not Noir), Cacharel pour homme, Sagamore, etc.

Of noble hearts, I am the noblest - and the most generous of those that yearn to give love in return. - I am a human being, I love death and I love life."

If I`m not wrong, Dior Jules is very proeminent in clary sage.
I remember that one of my lush solid fragrances also had something that reminded me of clary sage. I think is the one called Americam Cream.
There's a very large dose of clary sage in the heart of Versace PH.
