5 of the best fragrances for the fellas

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, you might be wondering what you could possibly gift your guy on the most romantic day of the year?
Why not secure something that will make him feel attractive and help convince you he’s one sexy so and so? Even if he’s more of a socks and sandals kind of guy, the right scent can trick your brain into believing just about anything! Check out the five scents that you (and your guy) are sure to love…
Look for: something crisp, fresh and masculine.
Avoid: anything heavy, too woody or strongly-scented with amber (or he may begin to remind you of your dad! Eww.)

I am more fussy over mens fragrances than my boyfriend is, but I have bought him quite a few and he likes all of them so far :) For him he has Joop Homme, 1 Million by Paco Rabanne, Altamir by Ted Lapidus, Gucci Homme II and even Sex Panther from Anchorman! :) All good fragrances for the younger guys in my opinion

My hubby loves fragrances but of course, I and him would need to actually smell the above fragrances first so couldn't possibly say which one he would love yet. They all sound lovely though so will go out and sniff lol
