In my last blog, I recommended the Top 5 Fragrances For Women, but do not worry, I did not forget about you men. I’ll be recommending my favorite top 5 fragrances on a man!
As the sun stretches its radiant rays and the air fills with a gentle warmth, the arrival of summer brings a fresh wave of possibilities. It's a time when our wardrobes undergo a transformation, embracing vibrant colors and lighter fabrics. Fragrances play a big role in defining our personality and leaving a lasting impression.
1. Terre d’Hermes Eau Givrée
Eau Givrée came out in 2022, and what makes this fragrance specific is actually a very simple notes pyramid where citron dominates the entire scent which is something that’s not so often seen in perfumery.
From the heights of the citrus accord, Eau Givrée dries down through an absolutely gorgeous woody accord which is exactly the point where a masterpiece comes to the light – incredible blend, a rare combination, and a beautiful light scent.
Eau Givrée is fresh, light, and perfect for high heat as a citrusy backbone will come as a great refreshment. It’s definitely a keeper!
2. Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Forever Pour Homme
Right from the beginning, it is important to emphasize that the citrus that is found in Light Blue Forever is not the sweet, easy-going type of citrus, and if you are gravitating toward that kind of citrus, you won’t find it here.
The first spray will strike you with prominent grapefruit nuance; it’s zesty, sour, sweet, tart, and very realistic/natural. As it makes its way through the mid you get a clean and woodsy vetiver with a light touch of violet leaf.
Surprisingly, the initial grapefruit hangs in there for a long time until the vetiver finally overtakes the grapefruit in a deep dry-down.
The overall scent is very pleasant with ozonic tones throughout its performance; very unique and fresh, something you definitely want to have during summer heats.
3. Dior Sauvage
Dior Sauvage definitely deserved its spot in this list of summer fragrances for men.
Why? Because:
It’s one of the most mass-appealing fragrances in the world
It’s one of the most popular fragrances in the world
Performance, scent, and price are incredibly well balanced
With Dior Sauvage you simply cannot go wrong and if nothing from this list caught your eye, then you might just want to go with the safest possible option and get Sauvage.
What more to say about it? Solid performance, beautiful fresh spicy, sexy, and masculine (yet, non-offensive) scent, able to adapt to almost any occasion. You can literally wear it from church to AC/DC concerts.
4. Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau Le Parfum
It’s rare to find sweet summer scents that are not too heavy for high temperatures, and Le Beau Le Parfum definitely belongs to the group of sweet scents that can be easily worn during summer.
This beautiful masculine scent has the main note of coconut but that coconut has a citrusy grapefruit opening and tonka bean.
If you’re looking for a date night fragrance, this just might be the perfect choice!
5. Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme Marine
One seriously great fragrance that is a great bang for the buck is Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme Marine with an excellent price but a charming scent.
Aqva Pour Homme Marine is a modern, classy fragrance that might come out as slightly “ordinary”, something that is already seen, but it is a nice, “blue”, marine scent that is very easy to like.
The interesting side of this fragrance is its sweet-citrusy opening but it also balances the saltiness and sweetness very well.
It’s important to say that Aqva Pour Homme Marine could easily pass as a Chanel fragrance; it has that cleanness, radiance, and snappiness that can be found in some Chanel creations.
As it goes into the mid, you get prominent water notes along with seaweed that finishes the initial citrus with an aquatic, marine, fresh bomb.
As the name suggests, it is a real “blue” fragrance specifically made for summer days, a very light perfume that would be great for daily office routines.
