Perfect for work
Acqua Di Parma Colonia Intensa. £56
Roja Parfums Vetiver Extrait £225
Elegant but masculine. A fresh, professional and clean scent that is light enough not to be overpowering. It contains citrus extracts which are known to boost energy levels (handy for beating that afternoon slump). Not only that but citrus molecules "literally zing off the skin, making them ideal for after the gym too."
                                      
For the outdoorsy type
Calvin Klein Eternity For Men Acqua. £48
Davidoff cool water Pure Pacific £33
Tom Ford Neroli Portofino Body Splash £85
Active men need a more fresh and aquatic fragrance that are crisp and clean to smell that remind them of the outdoors.
                                                          

For the romantic at heart types
212 VIP Men by Carolina Herrera £42.50
Paco Rabane 1Million £36.50
Make an impression with fragrances that tend to include sexy notes of vanilla, tonka beans and sandlewood. These combined give off a warm, sweet and spicy scent that makes a fragrance oriental and sensual. These are perfect for an evening engagement or that romantic date!

                                        

For an evening out with the lads
Eau De Lacoste L.12.12 Blanc £34
Marc Jacobs Bang Bang £41
Bulgari Man £52

Some men just prefer a very masculine scent and opt for these that give off a woody vibe.

                                           
                                    

Something for the more mature man
Terre D'Hermes £52
Aramis Classic  £28
Givenchy Gentleman £50

Want a more sophisticated scent? Some men want something that oozes confidence for that distinguished look. A fragrance from the chypre family is therefore required. They tend to be warm and slightly exotic whilst remaining floral and aromatic.

                             
                                                        

Still cannot find the right smell? Then maybe Gucci Guilty For Men is the way forward. Scents from the fougere family are the most popular of all male fragrances as they often contain fresh citrus notes along with lavender, oakmoss and woody notes giving them universal appeal across all men regardless of their personality. These scents are so versatile too- they can be worn day or night so if you are looking for a safe bet- then look no further.
