Here\'s a line up of the best new modern fragrances available - they will not only ensure your man smells scent-sational but they also look set to become future classics...
Silver Shadow by Davidoff

Davidoff silver shadow
This is the latest fragrance offering from the people who brought you the classic Cool Water. Packaged in a slick black and silver case, this sophisticated scent boasts base notes of sexy amber and oak moss and middle notes of spicy saffron and patchouli, all of which are complemented by a pungent cocktail of top notes that include orange, cedar and coriander. This eau de toilette is both mature and classy and definitely for the man with a taste for the finer things in life 50ml £33

Marc Jacobs by Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs fragrance
If you can\'t afford the cool clothes created by this hot designer then why not treat your man to a bottle of his oh-so sexy scent instead? The predominant notes of fig, spices and musk make this a very intense warm fragrance that will linger long after the first spritz. If your boyfriend likes to smell sexy and subtle then this is perfect

Very Irresistible by Givenchy
fragrance,menswear
Givenchy very irresistible
The combination of mocha and mint leaves may sound a little strange but trust me, it works - this is an incredible and highly original scent that stands poles apart from your average after-shave. It exudes a gorgeous freshness when first sprayed (thanks to the zingy mint leaves and grapefruit top notes) but afterwards a more complex, sensual scent unfurls, courtesy of the additional rich notes of sesame seed, mocha and Virginia cedar. Very Irresistible is ideal for men who feel they like to remain a bit of a mystery...

Polo Black by Ralph Lauren

polo black Ralph Lauren
Two decades after one of the world\'s most successful designers launched his now timeless classic \'Polo\' comes \'Polo Black\', a wonderfully exotic and powerful scent aimed at the switched on 21st century male. Bursting with notes such as patchouli noir, iced mango and silver armoise this makes for a decidedly decadent fragrance that\'ll have women swooning after just one sniff! A love for the game of polo is, of course, optional

Dior Homme by Christian Dior
fragrance,Dior,menswear
dior homme by Dior
If the way a perfume looks is just as important as how it smells then this elegant new offering from the house of Dior hits the mark. Cased in a chic chunky transparent bottle this slightly floral fragrance not only smells gorgeous it\'ll also look great on the bathroom shelf. Fresh notes of sage, bergamot and vetiver are perfectly complemented by the more velvety accents of amber and cocoa bean, which results in a scent that\'s sweet and soulful. You\'re bound to be spraying it on yourself sooner or later

Instinct by David Beckham
David Beckham,fragrance
Instinct David Beckham
Celebrity fragrances are nothing new. Everyone from J-Lo to Sir Cliff (yes really!) have had a dubious dabble but this particular cool cologne from David Beckham does actually smell pretty good, and costing under £20 it\'s a bargain compared to most other scents. Instinct is made up of refreshing citrus notes including orange and mandarin and it\'s spliced with spices such as bergamot, cardamom and pimento. Star anise, white amber and patchouli give it its intensity and depth

Burberry Brit by Burberry
fragrance,Burberry,menswear
Burberry Brit fragrance
This is the male version of Burberry Brit and thanks to its dramatic oriental tones it\'s just as irresistible as the female fragrance. But there\'s nothing girly about this blend of sharp and powerful ginger, mandarin and cedar wood notes. Like the new and improved sartorial reputation of the Burberry fashion label, this is fresh, contemporary and stylish - the ideal fragrance for fellas who are big fashion fans

Gaultier 2 by Jean Paul Gaultier
fragrance,jean paul gaultier
Gaultier 2 fragrance
Like Calvin Klein\'s classic CKOne, this is a fragrance that can be worn by men or women. Its aim is to recreate the natural and very sensual smell of skin and it does so perfectly, courtesy of its three dominant notes of sweet vanilla, intense musk and sexy myrrh. This is a great his and hers perfume but in my opinion it smells even more evocative on a man

Energise by Hugo Boss
fragrance,Hugo Boss
Hugo Boss energise
This fresh and youthful fragrance is an exotic concoction of aromatic fruits - think mandarin and kumquat - with warm white freesia, Amyris wood and velvety smooth cocoa beans. It lingers beautifully on the skin and will make you melt when you smell it up close and personal on someone special. Perfect for the sophisticated city slicker

A crisp perfume with bite! Puns aside this is a really cool fragrance that\'s ideal for hot summer days. Woody notes mixed with fresh greens result in a highly refreshing scent that has staying power thanks to the inclusion of rich coffee notes. Ideal for laid back urban types
