Prada: Paradigme Eau de Parfum
Introduced in 2025, Paradigme explores a new approach to masculinity. Leading with curiosity, it opens with notes usually found in the base: musk paired with Calabrian bergamot delivers a clean profile with a zesty twist. Softness weaves its way into the heart, with Bourbon and rose geraniums mingling to create a green and minty composition with a hint of floral sweetness. At the dry down, Peru balsam, benzoin and guaiac wood deliver a smoky trail for a refined and daring expression of individuality.
Dior: Sauvage Parfum
Few fragrances have earned the kind of authority that Dior Sauvage commands. Drawing on blue-tinged night skies and the crackling of campfires, it remains as compelling as ever. Mandarin orange and elemi lead, mingling with Calabrian bergamot for a hit of effervescent energy. Beneath the surface, the woody creaminess of Sri Lankan sandalwood comes to the fore to transport us to still skies. In the base, frankincense and tonka bean create a resinous trail that comes alive on the skin and reminds us of relaxing evenings under unfamiliar stars.
Creed: Green Irish Tweed Eau de Parfum
Conjuring the verdant greenery of the Emerald Isle and the lush Cumbrian countryside, Creed’s Green Irish Tweed is an ode to nature. At the top, lemon is cooled with peppermint, while galbanum offers an invigorating foundation. In the centre, soothing lavender is complemented with geranium that sits close to the skin without feeling heavy. As it matures, oakmoss, cedarwood and sandalwood create a woody and quietly idyllic finish that lingers smoothly like crisp air after a light rain.
Acqua Di Parma: Colonia Il Profumo Eau de Parfum
Picture it: you’re walking through the city of Parma at twilight. The sky is alive with a deep, golden light that sharpens everything around you. That’s what Colonia Il Profumo conjures. Italian bergamot at the top combines with grapefruit and blood orange for a zesty, citrus-driven beginning. Petitgrain’s bitter scent is tempered by rosemary and ylang-ylang as it breathes. The earthy nuances of patchouli and vetiver play out as it evolves, making for a captivating, yet gentle, finish that will last long into a star-dappled Italian night.
Creed: Aventus Eau de Parfum
Created to celebrate Creed’s 250th anniversary, Aventus has gone on to become one of the most revered fragrances in recent times. A vibrant debut of Calabrian bergamot and lemon is lifted by bright notes of apple and pink pepper. In the heart, moreish pineapple mingles with jasmine and patchouli for a richly juicy quality with a welcoming cool depth beneath. As it settles, smoky tones of birch and cedarwood cut through for a lingering trail with an edge that lends the fragrance an air of distinction and refinement.
Dolce & Gabbana: Light Blue Love in Capri Eau de Parfum
The landscape and atmosphere of Italy have always served as a touchstone for Dolce & Gabbana, so it’s no surprise that this fragrance draws on the famous island near Naples. It announces itself at first spritz with a spicy hit of black pepper before giving way to the lush leafiness of green fig that runs through the centre. With only three notes to its name, every ingredient earns its place, and patchouli's intensely earthy and musky tone anchors its deepest point with unmistakable authority. Straightforward, indulgent and unmistakably Italian, it feels as effortless as a morning on the island itself.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian: Gentle Fluidity Silver Eau de Parfum
Soft and enveloping at the same time, Gentle Fluidity feels tailor-made for spring. Opening like a refreshing gin fizz, crisp and aromatic juniper berries are balanced with nutmeg and bergamot. Centring on coriander, the heart takes on green accords with a slightly peppery twist that keeps the fragrance feeling light and effortless through the middle of the day. In its final chapter, ambery woods take hold, an exciting contrast of sweet and dry tones that clings gently on the skin to deliver a lasting impression well into the evening.
Parfums de Marly: Greenley Eau de Parfum
Taking inspiration from the gardens of France’s eighteenth-century Château de Marly, Greenley represents a breath of spring. Bright and alive, like wandering through a sun-drenched citrus grove, green apple, bergamot and mandarin invigorate from the off, creating a juicy and tangy opening. Petitgrain brings a herbal, slightly bitter quality to the mid-point, its sharp nuance playing against a dry, grounded edge. Ambroxan, amberwood and cedarwood deliver a warm, woody close that carries the elegance of its French origins through to the very last note.
Moncler: Sunrise Pour Homme Eau de Parfum
Summoning the crisp air of mountains at daybreak, Sunrise Pour Homme is a woody and aromatic scent that opens with a strong, yet sensitive, burst of energy. Frosted pink berries blend with bright Italian bergamot and lemon for a crisp, invigorating impression of the morning chill. Smoky suede and Indonesian nutmeg sit at the core and draw you inward, mingling with sage to lend a cool, herbal edge for a clean, unencumbered lightness. As it settles, Haitian vetiver and Indonesian patchouli deliver the distinctive woody tone, elevated with warm incense for a finish as expansive as the landscape that inspired it.
Bvlgari: Man Rain Essence Eau de Parfum
Inspired by the rejuvenating power of rain and how man and nature move in unison, this addition from Bvlgari Man takes on a light, woody scent. Top notes of green tea and orange essence combine to create a herbaceous and luminous debut with an uplifting current of citrus. Woven in deeper are accords of crystalline musk and white lotus for an airy and powdery centre that recalls fresh air after rainfall. At its deepest point, mineral amber and guaiac wood create an echo that remains, bringing a sense of peace and stillness that leaves us feeling restored.
