What man doesn’t want to smell good this Christmas? In honor of the festive period and to assist the last minute Christmas present shopper, we decided to put together a list of some classic, some new and even a few quirky fragrances! Here goes…
Hugo Boss, Boss Bottled Aftershave, £51.50 (100ml), click here to buy
A fresh, sharp and masculine fragrance brought to us from the German luxury fashion brand Hugo Boss. BOSS bottled is a fragrance which has been on the market for some time now, yet remains as appealing scent as ever! Grab him a bottle of this and he won’t forget it (and hopefully you) in a hurry. Keynotes include Apple, Bergamot and Cinnamon.
Lacoste, “Noir”, The Polo shirt Collection, £28.00 (30ml), click here to buy
Brand new for 2013, French fashion label Lacoste unveiled its polo shirt fragrance collection, with 5 different fragrances to choose from there really is something for everyone here. The collection includes Black, Red, Green, White and Blue options to pick from, the choice is truly yours! We say “buy him noir” (black), which has been described as being suited for the “sophisticated, intense man”. The Noir fragrance is a fresh bold choice which works well for any occasion, black tie or no black tie!
James Bond 007, Quantum, £32.00 (75ml), click here to buy
The latest 007, James Bond Quantum fragrance is the third installment from double 0. You can expect to either confuse or impress him with the twist up gadget style lid and the dangerously appealing scent. Give Quantum a whiff and you will experience a modern fresh aroma with its blend of juniper berries, evocative vesper martini, sandalwood and violet leaf. Be careful ladies, this might turn him into a dangerously attractive gentleman.
Lush, Gorilla Dirty, £21.00 (30ml) click here to buy
Does he like the smell of spearmint chewing gum? Want him to stay smelling powerfully fresh for days-upon-days? Ok well the latter might not be best accurate, but if he’s a spearmint kind of chap, then chances are he’ll be a fan. “This might be the only thing that keeps you clean at a festival” is the choice of explanation for this one via lush.co.uk. The fragrance encompasses a purest aroma, with keynotes of spearmint, thyme, tarragon, oakmoss and sandalwood. This is lively, remind him to be careful where he sprays it!
Superdry, Black Cologne, £29.50 (40ml) click here to buy
Superdry has a number of attractive colognes on offer for men. Superdry’s collection includes Black, Blue, Orange and Steel colognes for men. These are great for the modern man who seeks a fresh, prevailing active scent, whilst also being exceptionally good value for money (no compromise on quality neither). We particularly like the distinctive Black number, with keynotes of lavender, jasmine and ripe fruits.
Grigioperla, Touch, £52.00 (75ml), click here to buy
Presented in a streamlined glass boot, this woody composition fragrance explodes with energy and spice. The long-lasting smell is sure to be a welcome presence wherever he may be. The legendary Italian brand captures the essence of the harmonious modern man, bottling it up for especially for him!
Ferrari, Leather Essence, £79.00 (100ml), click here to buy
Launched in 2013, this is the brand new Leather essence cologne from the stylish Italians at Ferrari. Its strong manly scent shall be a welcome addition to his collection, with top notes including bitter orange, bergamot and cloves; middle notes are leather (if its good enough for the Ferrari vehicles its good enough for this)
How about one for the ladies??
Lush Scent, Calacas, £25.00 (30ml) click here to buy
Whilst this is a unisex fragrance, we recommend it as a great gift “for her”. Another wacky, youthful but undeniably delicious fruity fragrance from the UK’s Lush scent collection. Calacas will take her to a Mexican festival and back with its distinctive blend of sweet orange, neroli and lime aromas. This fruity number is by no means girly, but is unbelievably sexy and is sure to put a smile on her face this Christmas!
Have a smelly, smelly Christmas! x
