The days of splashing half a bottle of Brut on your face before a hot date are long gone. Men’s fragrances have evolved over the past two decades. It’s now all about subtle scents that embody masculinity and suit any occasion. We’ve rounded up four of our favs worth your hard-earned
Hugo Boss Bottled Night
There’s a reason Bottled Night has been a staple of the Hugo Boss range for over 15 years. This multipurpose fragrance works just as well for a day in the office as it does for a night out on the town. There are no overpowering ingredients, with the musky scent featuring subtle hints of lavender, violet and wood. A solid choice for those who aren’t big cologne wearers.
Le Labo Bergamote 22
Most men gravitate towards Le Labo’s Santal 33, but for those after something a little different, we suggest Bergamote 22. Initially known as “Fire Cologne”, this luxury citrus fragrance combines sweetness with freshness underlined by a touch of velvet vetiver. If you can get past the price tag, this scent will fast become your go-to cologne.
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
A man synonymous with fashion, it makes sense that Tom Ford would also have a range of men’s fragrances on the market. Tobacco Vanille is meant to conjure images of private clubs with its rich blend of spice, tobacco flower, vanilla and dry fruit. A sophisticated scent your partner will love.
Paco Rabanne Invictus
Invictus is one of the most popular creations from the French luxury fashion house Rabanne. Described as the “scent of victory”, Invictus won’t help you win a gold medal, but its fresh, woody fragrance with notes of grapefruit, bay leaf, gaiac wood and ambergris is sure to make those around you take notice. Top pick for men who like a muskier scent.
