Men’s perfume: fresh, woody and spicy scents

A men’s perfume is the finishing touch to your style, and the scent people remember. Here you will find eau de toilette (EDT) and eau de parfum (EDP) from well-known fashion houses and perfume brands for everyday wear, the office and evenings out, some of them also as gift sets. Every scent is made with its own character, so the choice depends on whether you prefer lighter freshness or a deeper, warmer mood.

How to choose a men’s perfume

Start by thinking about when you will wear the scent. Fresh and clean fragrances usually suit the working day, while more intense, deeper ones suit the evening. If you want to compare other scents or are looking for a gift, browse all perfumes and women’s perfumes as well.

• Fresh and citrus scents: light and clean, suitable for everyday wear and summer.
• Woody and spicy scents: deeper and more masculine in character, a good choice for autumn and evenings.
• Aquatic scents: recall the freshness of the sea and work well in warm weather.
• Concentration: eau de parfum is more intense and usually lasts longer, while eau de toilette is lighter and good for daily use.

Popular brands

The men’s fragrances include products from Hugo Boss, Christian Dior and Paco Rabanne, as well as Giorgio Armani, Versace, Yves Saint Laurent, Burberry and Gucci.

Fresh and aquatic scents

A fresh scent suits the working day, the time after the gym and a hot summer day. The Versace Man Eau Fraiche EDT is a fresh scent, and the Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò EDT belongs among the aquatic scents and recalls the freshness of the sea. If you want something for both men and women, take a look at the Calvin Klein CK One unisex eau de toilette. For classic freshness there is also the Christian Dior Homme Cologne in a 75 ml pack.

Woody and deeper scents

If you prefer a warmer scent with a masculine character, look at the woody ones. The Dsquared2 Wood Pour Homme EDT is a woody scent, suited to autumn. Classic style is represented by the Versace Pour Homme EDT and the Trussardi Uomo EDT, and timeless masculinity by the Christian Dior Fahrenheit EDT.

Intense evening scents

Evenings and colder weather suit more intense scents. The Christian Dior Sauvage EDP in a 60 ml pack is an eau de parfum, which usually lasts longer than eau de toilette. A bold, recognisable choice is the Paco Rabanne 1 Million EDT, and for someone seeking an energetic character there is the Paco Rabanne Invictus EDT. For an elegant evening also take a look at the Giorgio Armani Code for Men EDT.

A scent for every occasion

• For the office: a light, fresh eau de toilette that does not fill the room.
• For the evening: a stronger eau de parfum or a deeper woody scent.
• For summer: an aquatic or citrus scent.
• For autumn and winter: a warmer, spicier scent.
• As a gift: a new scent from his favourite family, or a gift set.

Men’s perfume as a gift

Perfume is a thoughtful gift because it goes with a person into every day. If you know his favourite scent, choose a new one from the same family. The Hugo Boss Bottled EDT gift set is ready to give, and you will find more in the gift sets category. For Christmas see Christmas gifts too, and other products for him are in the men’s category.

Tips for wearing a scent

Perfume opens best on clean, moisturised skin. Spray it on the wrists, neck and chest and let it develop on your skin. A scent changes over time: first you notice lighter notes, later warmer and deeper ones. If you like a scent, use a shower gel or deodorant from the same line to make it last longer. You will find options in shower gel and deodorants.

How to find your own scent

Choosing a scent is personal. If you can, try it on your skin and give it a few hours before you decide. Think about where you will wear it most, and whether you want it discreet or noticeable. If you already have a favourite, feel free to add a second one for the other season. Many men keep two or three scents and change them to suit the day and the mood.
