# Hard Liquor Fragrances Give off a Manly Scent with the Moonshine Cologne By Matt Ho | Published 2011-11-10 | Updated 2011-11-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonshine-cologne References: [uncrate](http://uncrate.com/stuff/moonshine-cologne-/) & [facebook](http://www.facebook.com/pages/Moonshine-a-gentlemans-cologne/178057308945789) Blood and sweat won't make you smell like a man, so thankfully, the [Moonshine Cologne](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonshine-advent-calendar) is here to help. The Moonshine Cologne guarantees that no man will have to drink himself to a drunken stupor for that [musky, boozy smell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/musk-fragrance-collection) that apparently passes off as a masculine scent. The fragrance, as the company describes it, gives off a woodsy aroma with “notes of black pepper, tobacco, gin and patchouli” built for a man. Complementing this rich description is the packaging that the cologne is housed in. It comes in a burlap sack and a wooden box for a presentation that’s elegant and manly at the same time. Want to give off the powerful husky smell of booze without hitting the bars? The Moonshine Cologne will show you what it takes to give off the right aroma without the mix of alcohol and bad breath. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Hard Liquor Fragrances:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: exploring unconventional scents for fragrance products. - **Masculine Scent Trend:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: creating unique fragrances targeted specifically at men. - **Woodsy Aroma Trend:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: developing colognes with earthy and natural scent profiles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fragrance:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: experimenting with new fragrance concepts and packaging designs. - **Men's Grooming:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: expanding the market for male grooming products by tapping into unconventional scents. - **Packaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: designing unique and tactile packaging experiences for fragrance products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Refined Contemporary Colognes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-colognes-by-ds-durga.md) - [Dive Bar-Scented Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dive-barfume.md) - [Cologne-Infused Scents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spice-alchemist.md) - [Sensually Masculine Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jimmy-choo-man-extreme.md) - [Rich Bourbon-Branded Colognes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elijah-craig-char-no-3.md) - [Spiced Masculine Perfumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caswellmassey-oaire-eau-de-parfum.md) - [Mixology-Inspired Perfumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixologist-parfums.md) - [Sensorial Whisky Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akro-malt.md) - [Unisex Root Beer Colognes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daddys-home.md)
