As a style editor and scent fanatic, a highlight of my work is sampling colognes. Every so often, I stumble upon a unique fragrance so intoxicating that I’m tempted to gatekeep it. But it is my job is to share the good stuff, and Stag by The Maker is one of those fragrances that demands to be talked about.
It’s a perfect cold-weather cologne: rich, artisanal, and grounded in a woodsy, masculine profile softened by a subtle, sweet undertone. It’s a a cliché, yes, but when I have it on, I’m constantly asked what I’m wearing.
