Find your fragrance
There’s no better way to make a powerful impression in summer than having a wonderful (and lasting) fragrance. Save the heavy scents with warm, spicy, and leathery notes for winter. When it’s hot, you should go for fresh, aquatic, citrus and sweeter ones. Find your flavour below and choose your new signature scent for the season.
If he’s an active, outdoor man
This fresh scent is made with the Mediterranean summer in mind. It has aquatic and citrus notes that’ll leave him smelling crisp and clean.
If it’s his first real fragrance
With hints of vanilla, sugar, amber and nutmeg, this scent is an easy-wear for anything from a braai to a smart dinner. It holds its own in winter too, so if you’re not a fan of changing fragrances with the seasons, you’ll be sorted for the year with this one.
If he’s the ultimate romantic
Nothing says fresh summer like this fragrance’s combination of lemon, pineapple, papaya, amber and musk. A bonus about this particular EDT: it’s unisex, so you can get it as a gift for your partner and also steal a spritz or two.
If he’s a huge sports fan
If he talks about his soccer team’s win (or loss) in his sleep, this fragrance by Hugo Boss should be perfect because it’s fuss-free and not too strong. It has notes of apple, grapefruit, basil and jasmine and a will be a great addition to your collection in time for the New Year.
If he loves his suits perfectly tailored
This EDT by Armani is great for those fancy nights out when you’re rocking your smart casual outfit. Its strongest notes are of the sea, sage, rosemary and patchouli.
If he’s on the guestlist of every hot party
Chanel’s Allure combines summery freshness and scents of lemon and peach with spicy pepper and the sweetness of vanilla. If you’re going for sundowners or a drinks at the club, this is the scent he should spritz.
If he’s a busy all-rounder
Can’t make up his mind? Good thing this Issey Miyake has everything to suit all of his tastes: it’s spicy but still refreshing and light with its notes of rosemary, mint and musk, making it great for summer and transitional seasons too.
