The days are longer, the nights are warmer and you’ve undoubtedly got summer plans on your mind. Summertime is here and suddenly happiness is spreading – everywhere!

Chances are your chino shorts, no-show socks and your favourite white t-shirt will all be making a regular appearance over the next few months, but don’t stop there. From refreshing citrus’ to some slightly more adventurous accords, here are five men’s fragrances worth spritzing this summer. Try one of these..

John Varvatos – Artisan Pure
Encapsulating a freshness that’s fit for summer and beyond, Artisan Pure pays homage to the coffee and citrus groves found in the hills of Xalapa in Mexico. It’s crisp, woody and citrus notes emphasise masculinity and because it’s light it will work well in just about any environment you might find yourself during those long drawn out summer days.

Holiday plans? It’s a great time to pushing the boundaries with your fragrance. This leathery option is inspired by the punk era, with warm cinnamon and leather accords, which are an ode to the iconic biker jacket. A scent that will take you on a whistle-stop tour, capturing the raw energy of the scene. It’s powerful, so no more than a couple of sprays!
