Fragrances for him...

fragrance,Dolce & Gabbana,valentines day,men Dolce and Gabbana The One \r\n

We\'ve found a collection of 10 great fragrances for the man in your life, ranging from classic favourites to fresh new scents on the scene.

\r\n\r\n\r\n

The One - Dolce & Gabbana

\r\n\r\n

Perfect for the man who thinks he\'s a god

\r\n\r\n

Much like Matthew McConaughey\'s turn as model for this scent (think macho man in designer togs loving himself maybe more than is healthy), this fragrance has thoroughly masculine base notes of cedarwood, ambergris and tobacco topped with an oriental spiciness making it both fantastically classic yet vibrant.

From £33, Boots

Cool Water - Davidoff

fragrance,valentines day,men Davidoff Cool Water

Perfect for the man whose confidence comes naturally

Who isn\'t aware of this old favourite from Davidoff, with adverts almost too hot to handle showing the gorgeous Josh Holloway emerging dripping from the waves. OK, so maybe our fellas don\'t look quite like that after a day at the beach, more pink skinned and covered in sand, but this classic, fresh fragrance could be perfect for your man.

From £33, Boots

Fuel for Life - Diesel

fragrance,Diesel,valentines day,men Diesel fuel for life

Perfect for the man who thinks he\'s Bond... James Bond

 

This offering from Diesel promotes itself as something different and out of the ordinary. The base fragrance is actually very classic, enlivened with star anise and other lovely additions that turn this fragrance into a deliciously sweet and woody scent. You will love him in it.

 

From £24, Boots

Dior Homme - Christian Dior

fragrance,Christian Dior,valentines day,men,Dior Dior Homme Christian Dior

Perfect for the man of refined tastes

At the heart of this woody, aromatic offering from Dior is the all-pervading, powdery scent of Iris, giving this fragrance a simply refined smell that\'s as good at the end of the day as at first spritz.

 

£35.24 for 50ml, Boots

Contradiction - Calvin Klein

fragrance,Calvin Klein,valentines day,men Calvin Klein Contradiction

Perfect for the man who loves his ‘old favourites\'

This scent has a cool, crisp freshness to it that is juxtaposed with the sexy warmth of exotic woods and intoxicating spices. A modern fragrance for the modern man who still likes to remain faithful to old favourites.

 

£21.53 for 50ml, Boots

Pour Monsieur - Chanel

fragrance,Chanel,valentines day,men Pour Monsieur Chanel

Perfect for the ultimate gentleman

According to Luca Turin of The Perfume Book, this fragrance should be "sitting under a triple-glass bell jar next to the meter and kilogram at the Pavillon de Breteuil as the reference masculine fragrance." High praise indeed for this fresh bergamot, sweet labdanum, and oakmoss fresh chypre (mossy woods fragrance genre to you and I). This is warm, relaxed and almost melodious in scent.

£39 for 50ml, 020 7493 3836.

Beyond Paradise Men - Estee Lauder

fragrance,valentines day,men,Estee Lauder Estee Lauder Beyond Paradise

Perfect for the man looking for inner peace

A mysterious yet masculine scent with fresh and tangy top notes which wear down to leave a cool Mediterranean Accord that\'s a blend of Lavender Absolute, Provence Sage, Tarragon and Thyme and sensual base notes of Eden Vetiver, Oak Moss and Patchouli. An understated, almost melancholy male fragrance that frowns on other louder, coarser masculines.

 

£39.15 for 100ml, Boots

Diamonds for men - Giorgio Armani

fragrance,valentines day,men,Giorgio Armani Georgio Armani Diamonds

Perfect for the man who likes everything in its place

Just like the clean cut bottle designed by Armani himself, this is a clean cut scent blending the freshness of bergamot and the masculine charm of cedar wood with a yummy mix of cocoa and dark marine notes. Manly through and through.

 

£39.50 for 50ml, Boots

Eau de Guerlain - Guerlain

fragrance,valentines day,men,Guerlain Guerlain Eau de Guerlain

Perfect for the man who likes to get fruity

In its vintage style bottle, conjuring up images of gentlemen in three-piece suits Eau de Guerlain has a delightfully nostalgic feel both in look and scent. Luca Turin co-author of The Perfume Book states, "If you want citrus, there is simply nothing better out there." Fresh and oh-so fruity.

£49.42, escentual.com

L\'Homme - YSL

fragrance,YSL,valentines day,men L\'Homme YSL

Perfect for the man who only wears designer this, designer that

A discreet and understated scent from Yves Saint Laurent who are better known for concocting extravagant and brave fragrances. A warm, ginger, woody fragrance this has a spicy citron lift to it, giving way to a dry down of Vetiver, Cedar Virginia Cedar, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood. A whisper of a thrill rather than a full on party in your nose!

 

£48.45 for 100ml, Boots

RR Play FWD - Givenchy

fragrance,valentines day,men,Givenchy,givenchy fragrance Play Givenchy

Perfect for the man who loves to try something new

Givenchy has long been giving us fabulous woody scents and this new offering is a worthy heir to the throne. Its scented story is rooted in warm Amyris wood from the Caribbean and finished with delicious notes of bergamot.

From £33.78, 01932 233 824
