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,…

Floris London NEW Private Collection Bergamotto Di Positano
I’ve definitely found my summer splash. Bergamotto Di Positano is a relaunch of the April 2015 hand-poured By Request fragrance, brought into the Private Collection. It’s definitely not just another Italian Cologne, and takes all the best elements combined with a slightly spiced creaminess. Bergamotto di Positano is a homage to Charles Joseph Pagliano, who in the early 19th…

L’Occitane Cedrat Fragrance and Skin Care Collection for Men
I love a L’Occitane fragrance with my all time favourite being Eau des Baux with it’s vanilla, cypress and peppery incense. They’re always so different and particularly with men’s fragrance, break the mould and go beyond the norms of traditional masculine scents. Cedrat is no exception! When you think of Cedrat you’d be forgiven for thinking this is another…

Ormonde Jayne Zizan Eau de Parfum

Zizan takes the elements of traditional men’s fragrance such as vetiver, cedar, musk, sage and amber…
