When purchasing fragrance for the special man in your life, you want to make sure to get it right. Below are a few recommendations to get you started.

Derek Jeter Driven Black.

The popular and handsome captain of the New York Yankees was instrumental in developing his second men's cologne, Driven Black. Jeter chose the name 'driven' because of his own drive to succeed on and off the field.

Driven Black was Avon's top selling scent for men in 2008. Notes include grapefruit, saffron, white cedar, Haitian vetiver, and warm spices. Women absolutely love the smell on their husbands and boyfriends. They describe the fragrance as masculine, sexy, and long lasting. Driven Black has been compared to Clinique Happy, which has a similar smell.
