Refreshing Summer Scents for Men
Summer colognes are like the perfect summer outfit: a must have in every man’s wardrobe.
Wearing a fragrance can sometimes feel like you’ve been transported to another place. And with the pandemic still limiting holiday travel, we need this virtual sojourn even more. Especially in summer – a time all about fresh, clean notes that capture the jubilation of longer days and warmer weather.
I prefer to wear formulas, like a cologne or eau de toilette. Here are some top pick summer scents that will have you serving travelling man vibes all through summer.
DUNHILL INDIAN SANDALWOOD
You’ll start appreciating sandalwood after this one. It’s a subtle addition to your fragrance cupboard. Intertwined with bergamot, sour, citrus and fruity hints that hide an essence of bright, natural freshness. Sample it, and see if it blends with your body chemistry and character.
NARCISO RODRIGUEZ
BLEU NOIR
Upon the first spritz, this eau de toilette has a crisp citrus top note that is created by green mandarin and basil. A heart note of musk creates a deeper, more sensual tone and black ebony will leave a woody and masculine statement. A perfect choice, no matter where you are going to wear it.
ISSEY MIYAKE FUSION
Fusion d’Issey starts at the top with zesty lemon, accompanied by the refreshing sweetness of coconut milk. The last notes are
reinvigorating rosemary, geranium, and cardamom that are energising yet warm. This is the perfect fragrance for any time you want to be remembered.
COACH BLUE
An invigorating and aromatic scent that combines cedarwood with rich
and intense amber notes. Inspired by the freedom and optimism of a road trip about to begin – who doesn’t love that. This is an easy to wear fragrance and smells great on just about anyone.
PACO ROBANNE 1 MILLION PARFUM
The eau de parfum is described as a floral leather scent with sun-drenched charm. Notes include addictive tuberose, sensual leather, accents of resin, pine and warmth of amber. The overall feeling of skin heated by the sun, almost salty, bringing you a signature that turns heads for the right reasons.
ACQUA DI PARMA BLU MEDITERRANEO
This eau de toilette is a refreshing fragrance characterised by lively and vibrant top notes of chinotto and mandarin. At its heart, rosemary and cardamom lend an aromatic touch while the base is rounded off with jasmine and musk. It will take your breath away with its refreshing and lively notes; and will grab the attention of any bystander.
