Gifts for him: top 5 luxe male fragrances

When a lady inhales a magnificent scent on a man, its lavish mix of notes has the ability to instantly send chills down her spine. Said notes can even make her fall in love - or at the very least send the warmth of desire and lust flowing through her body. Yes, females truly are powerless when it comes to the scent of a sensual cologne.

However, despite scent being one of the first things we notice about a man, fragrance is often the last thing on his mind. We can work this to our advantage, though. By gifting your man with a fragrance that makes your hairs stand on end and your legs go weak at the knees, you’ll not only please yourself and reawaken your relationship, but give him a newfound confidence, too.

Not sure which fragrance you'll love on your man? Each one of these sensual scents will leave you mesmerised and positively hypnotised by their blend of alluring notes…

If you adore something modern…

Thrilling. Passionate. Luxury. That is exactly what the new Ermenegildo Zegna UOMO’s masculine mix of bergamot, violet, vetiver and cedarwood encapsulates. It also creates an aura of power, confidence and magnetism thanks to its unique fusion of raw materials, which is responsible for its unique modern, fresh, citrus scent.

If you adore something woody…

Karl Lagerfeld describes fragrance as music for the nose. And Karl Lagerfeld Kapsule Woody will certainly make your senses sing, and maybe even dance. Housed in a bottle that reflects Mr Lagerfeld’s love of geometrics, this delicate woody cologne contains a blend of velvety dark plum, cedar and dark moss. It’s a little spicy, a little crisp, and a whole lot of sexy.

If you adore something fruity…

Thought summer was over? Inject this scent into your man’s life and you’ll instantly be fooled into thinking the nights are still long and balmy. Estée Lauder Pleasures for Men’s masculine juice blends citrus effervescence and nectarine for an energetic fruity fragrance hit, but pairs it with the spices and woods of coriander seed, red ginger, sandalwood, iridescent ebony and deep forest moss for a rare, rich woody finish.

If you adore something oriental…

If one was to describe Calvin Klein DARK OBSESSION For Men in three words, these are the words one would choose: bold, powerful, and sexy. And with such a modern, masculine blend of oriental notes (read: Brazilian green mandarin, guarana, absinthe, French clary sage, white vetiver, Madagascar vanilla bean and suede) it’s easy to see why this scent obtained its intensely masculine reputation.

But add some nutmeg, vintage leather, sandalwood and tobacco to the mix and you create a brilliantly rich, warm base, which will instantly bring out the sexiness in any man.
