Woody Men’s Fragrance Reviews
Woody Men’s Fragrances are characterized by their robust and earthy scent profiles, drawing inspiration from the natural aromas of forests and woodlands. Central to these fragrances are notes of cedar, sandalwood, and vetiver, often complemented by subtle hints of leather, tobacco, or amber. This category is celebrated for its grounding, masculine essence, evoking a sense of strength and stability.
Ideal for those who prefer a more subtle yet distinct scent, Woody fragrances are typically deep and long-lasting, making them suitable for both day and evening wear. While they are particularly appealing to men for their classic and rugged nature, the timeless appeal of wood notes also attracts a wider audience who appreciates the enduring, natural elegance these fragrances offer. Woody Men’s Fragrance category stands out for its simplistic sophistication, embodying a connection to nature with a refined, understated charm.

Guerlain L’Homme Ideal Sport
There’s something a little fabulous about send-outs from Guerlain and receiving the new Guerlain L’Homme Ideal Sport is no exception. It’s a brand my mother has adored most of my life and in this massively oversaturated industry is still a beacon of guilt-ridden decadence. Guerlain L’Homme Ideal Sport is a flanker to L’Homme Ideal launched…

Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Barbershop
Only when writing this I realise I’ve never reviewed Spicebomb before! Which is weird as I’ve been wearing Spicebomb Extreme religiously since Christmas. But better late than never. Spicebomb, an incredibly well performing male fragrance – that relies on being genuinely gorgeous rather than pure marketing – and just in time for Father’s Day 2016…

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,…
