Versace Eros You can read my full review for Versace Eros here, but this is definitely my favourite for spring.

Versace Eros
The Greek god of love, Eros is the new fragrance from Versace created by Aurelien Guichard, the brand’s first mens scent to launch in 5 years. Needless to say, it’s been worth the wait and I can safely say this is going to be one of the fragrances we’ll remember from 2013. “Eros is a…

Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male The Travel Flask
As I know it is for many, this is one of favourite fragrances of all time. It has style, heritage and class; a blend of lavender, vanilla and mint form this rich scent that stays with you all day. Now it has evolved into the Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male The Travel Flask. The fragrance…

Tom Ford Lavender Palm
The new stunning addition to the Tom Ford Private Blend, Lavendar Palm.

Mixed in with this is a twist of lime citrus that ads…
