Oriental Men’s Fragrance Reviews
Oriental Men’s Fragrances are renowned for their rich, exotic aromas, blending spicy, sweet, and warm notes to create deeply sensual scents. These fragrances typically feature a complex combination of ingredients like musk, vanilla, and spices such as cinnamon and clove, often complemented by hints of floral or fruity undertones. The result is a luxurious and opulent scent profile, evoking the mystique and warmth of the Orient.
This category of fragrances is particularly favoured for its sophisticated and mysterious allure, making it a popular choice for evening wear and special occasions.

Ormonde Jane Ambre Royal Eau De Parfum
This is very, very unusual for Ormonde Jayne. For me it definitely cements the change in style of Ormonde Jayne from the days of lighter, etherial dancing fragrances such as Zizan and Isfarkand to the bold and striking statements of Black Gold and Rose Gold. Ambre Royal undoubtedly sits in the latter; holding the crown.…

Cartier L’Envol de Cartier for Men
There haven’t been many mainstream fragrance launches this year worth writing about. The biggest heroes have been in the world of niche fragrance. However, L’Envol de Cartier by Mathilde Laurent has single-handedly redeemed the industry’s shortcomings with something familiar, yet totally new. The notes of L’Envol are simple, and it opens with a relatively standard violet leaf…

Frederic Malle Monsieur by Bruno Jovanovic
I have never worn a fragrance that so many people have commented on. Without a fail, every single time I have worn this, someone has come near me and asked what that incredible smell is – or someone has come in the room and said “something smells gorgeous” to which I incredibly conceitedly respond “oh, that’s…

5 Vanilla Scents to Satisfy Your Cravings
Foodie fragrances, or gourmand as they’re more formally known are a big pleasure of mine. Since I was a kid I have loved anything vanilla and creamy – never being much of a sweety fan but always loving cake, biscuits and chocolate. As a consequence, I have always been on the lookout for Vanilla scents for men,…
