A modern classic, Dior Sauvage is a favourite among men and women alike (and also a favourite of my own). This fragrance exudes a rugged yet refined masculinity, via a fresh and spicy blend of bergamot, pepper and ambroxan. Picture a cool evening in the desert, with the crisp air carrying a hint of wild herbs and spices. That is the essence of this scent. It is a versatile fragrance and is a good fit for either day and night. Sauvage by Dior is like a compliment magnet and makes a great addition to any collection. Frankly, it is pretty hard to go unnoticed when you are wearing something so distinctively captivating and charming.
Creed Aventus is like the ultimate wingman and is often hailed as the king of colognes. This is for good reason. Since its release back in 2010, Creed Aventus has become synonymous with luxury and success. Its bold blend of pineapple, birch and oakmoss, this fragrance creates a powerful and sophisticated scent that commands a lot of attention. Imagine walking into a room and feeling the air change; that's the Aventus effect. This cologne isn't cheap, and so it is perfect for special occasions or when you simply want to gain some extra attention from the opposite sex.
Chanel Bleu de Chanel is like the embodiment of elegance and modernity. Launched in 2010, this fragrance is an epic blend of citrus, incense and wood. It kicks off with a burst of freshness from grapefruit and lemon, then follows with a warm, woody base that lingers beautifully on the skin. Bleu de Chanel is like wearing a perfectly tailored suit (timeless and sophisticated, yet effortlessly stylish). Whether you are at a business meeting or a casual dinner, this cologne is a perfect fit for any setting. It made this list for a reason. Its scent is both sophisticated and sexy.
1 Million by Paco Rabanne is the fragrance for those who really want to stand out. Since its debut back in 2008, 1 Million has been turning heads with its opulent blend of blood mandarin, cinnamon and leather. It is a bold, brash and incredibly addictive fragrance. It is dynamic, attention grabbing and irristable, kind of like the olfactory equivalent of a Ferrari "vroom vroom". Wearing this fragrance makes you feel like a million dollars, and is going to get you nothing but compliments.
Versace Eros is all about passion and power. Inspired by the Greek God of Love, this fragrance really delivers. With a mix of mint, green apple and vanilla, Eros is refreshing but also super sensual. Imagine a warm summer night on the Mediterranean coast, with the air filled with the scent of blooming flowers and citrus. That is Versace Eros for you. Perfect for evening outings or romantic dates, this scent made our list because it makes you ooze confidence and charm. This super sexy fragrance is a magnet for compliments wherever you happen to go.
