Scent of a man: Get a whiff of our top five perfumes for men

Check out our top five perfumes for men that are perfect for summer.

John Varvatos’ Artisan Pure combines a refreshing blend of citrus and fresh herbs with woody accents for a refreshing crisp aroma. The modern, sun-warmed woods of Mexico bring an understated elegance to the fresh, masculine scent.

Protected from the light in a soft aluminium pouch, Dior Homme Sport is housed in an unbreakable aerosol casing. With every spray, the aluminium pouch containing the juice is compressed by the air surrounding it, releasing the perfume. This technique eliminates all gas emissions by using air alone as an eco-responsible propellant.

Designed by the talented duo Antoine Maisondieu and Olivier Pescheux, Montblanc Legend Night is a magnetic woody fragrance, ultra-masculine, but free from aggression. The aromatic notes of sage and peppermint, enhanced with cool spices (cardamom) and sparkling bergamot, set the perfume’s fresh and lively tone.

Jo Malone’s Mimosa & Cardamom would appeal to the metro-sexual man, who doesn’t have to prove his masculinity via strong musks. From the brand’s pastel coloured graphic design to the fragrances themselves, Jo Malone’s perfumes carry a sense of effortlessness and simplicity. And this one’s no exception. A light, ethereal cologne with a dry-down that smells of almonds, musk and talcum powder, Mimosa & Cardamom is like a soft whisper on the skin.

As the name evokes, Atelier Cologne’s Clémentine California is all about summer vibes. Boasting clementines from California, star anise from China and sandalwood, the perfume carries a whiff of all things sunny and breezy. Save it for special occasions though, as the perfume doesn’t last as long as some others.
