1. CREED – AVENTUS
If you’re after a fragrance that’ll see you through seasons to come, House of Creed’s iconic Aventus is a good place to start. A blend of Calabrian bergamot, zesty lemon and pink pepper bring the fresh edge, while pineapple, apple and blackcurrant deliver a fruity twist. A bestseller for a very good reason.
2. ACQUA DI PARMA – BLU MEDITERRANEAN BERGAMOTTO DI CALABRIA
Sunshine in a bottle – that’s what you can expect from this Acqua di Parma scent. Featuring top notes of bergamot, heart notes of ginger and cedar, and base notes of musk, it’s the ideal zesty fragrance to squeeze into your suitcase.
3. TOM FORD – COSTA AZZURA
Longing for a trip to the coast of Italy? Us too. With Tom Ford’s Costa Azzura you’re halfway there. Fresh herbs and aromatic notes meet with crisp evergreens for a warm, summery scent. Just one spray and you’re sitting on the beach soaking up the sunshine.
4. JO MALONE LONDON – CYPRESS AND GRAPEVINE COLOGNE INTENSE
Tom Hardy could convince us to buy anything, that’s true, but this scent from Jo Malone London stands up on its own. Woody, green, fresh and spicy, it features notes of cypress for an aromatic freshness, grapevine for a hit of juiciness and amber for a woody warmth. Refined, distinctive, bold.
5. BURBERRY – HERO
Strength, power, creativity: Burberry’s Hero was created to challenge the traditional stereotypes of masculinity. The result is a woody fragrance with a top note of bergamot, followed by a trio of cedarwood to deepen the scent, and finally a base of black pepper and juniper.
6. JO MALONE LONDON – LIME BASIL AND MANDARIN COLOGNE
Jo Malone London’s first fragrance, and perhaps their most iconic, the Lime Basil & Mandarin Cologne is a summer must-have. Imagine the scent of limes on a Caribbean breeze with an unexpected hit of peppery basil and white thyme. It's a big yes from us.
7. ESCENTRIC MOLECULES – MOLECULE 01+ MANDARIN
Don’t want to smell like everyone else? Escentric Molecules has you covered, thanks to the aroma chemical Iso E Super that mimics your own natural pheromones to create a personalised scent. With notes of cedarwood and mandarin - it’s a bright and juicy scent that gives instant summer vibes.
8. PRADA – LUNA ROSSA OCEAN
As the name would suggest, Prada’s latest scent is fresh and aquatic. Featuring refreshing bergamot, vetiver, tonka bean and notes of iris. Unique and addictive, it makes the perfect everyday scent.
9. YVES SAINT LAURENT – Y EAU DE TOILETTE FOR MEN
Clean, crisp, a bit spicy: Y is everything you’d want on a hot summer’s day. A fresh spritz delivers a hit of bergamot and ginger, followed by lavender, clary sage and geranium. When it all dries down? You’re left with the warmth of vanilla and cedar.
10. LE LABO – YLANG 49
Dubbed ‘a walk in the woods’ by Le Labo, Ylang 49 features a combination of patchouli, ylang ylang (as you might expect from the name…), oakmoss and vetiver. The result is an earthy, woody scent with a mossy, floral feel. Aka, all the things you’d associate with the floor of a forest. Think of it as a floral bouquet with a difference.
