AQVA POUR HOMME MARINE BY BVLGARI. Surprising, exhilarating, revitalising.
KENZO POUR HOMME. Sensual, woody-marine, sleek.
NAUTICA BY NAUTICA. Fresh, clean, sexy.

DOLCE & GABBANA LIGHT BLUE POUR HOMME. ‘Sexy, sensual, irresistible’
POLO BLUE BY RALPH LAUREN. ‘Casual, energised, cool’
ALLURE HOMME SPORT BY CHANEL. ‘Vibrant, fresh, sensual’

• Gifts for: THE SENSITIVE MAN

  TABAC ORIGINAL BY MAURER & WIRTZ ‘Tangy, fresh, aromatic’

• Gifts for: THE MODERN MAN

  Try: SOFT ORIENTALS, which use incense to add sensual overtones to fragrant flowers, spices and amber. The base notes of a modern soft oriental are not as sweet or heavy as a true oriental, resulting in a distinctly softer scent.

  CK ONE ‘Clean, refreshing, light’
  JIL SANDER COLOGNE FOR MEN ‘Luxurious, sophisticated, refined’
  OLD SPICE ‘Complex, definitive, classic’
  ROYAL DELIGHT BY CREED ‘The fragrance of romance and escape’

  Fragrances for Him:
  HABIT ROUGE BY GUERLAIN ‘Sensual, warm, elegant’
  ED HARDY MEN BY ED HARDY ‘Seductive, enticing, alluring’

• Gifts for: THE ARTISTIC MAN

  Try: WOODY-ORIENTAL blends, with a tantalizing liaison of rich oriental notes with potent scents of patchouli and sandalwood. Flowers and spices play second string to dominant sandalwood or patchouli notes, balanced by a rich oriental influence.

  ZINO DAVIDOFF BY DAVIDOFF ‘Erogenous yet fresh, spontaneous’

  212 MEN BY CAROLINA HERRERA ‘Fresh, urban, cosmopolitan’

• Gifts for: THE MANLY MAN

  Try: DRY WOODS or “LEATHER” fragrances, where mossy fragrances take on a drier character through the addition of cedar, tobacco and burnt wood notes. Fresh citrus notes play an important role in most dry woods fragrances, lightening their deep, animalistic heart notes.

  DECLARATION BY CARTIER ‘Fresh, spicy, woody’
  GUCCI BY GUCCI POUR HOMME ‘Iconic, charismatic, timeless’
  PRADA MEN ‘Fresh, sensual, leathery’
  BVLGARI BLACK ‘Metropolitan, classical, supreme’
