I love fragrances and summer is in full swing! If you plan to update your #fragrances and need some tips, here are my 5 top picks of essential summertime fragrances that every man should own.
5. Mugler Cologne
In creating Mugler Cologne, Thierry Mugler tried to copy the scent of an ordinary soap he brought from Morocco, which he liked very much. The fragrance was created by Alberto Morillas in 2001. The composition starts off with sharp and clear green and citrus notes, followed by a soapy accord. Hence, this fragrance is an extremely fresh scent of cleanliness. Top notes are bergamot, neroli and petit grain. There is a mysterious “S” note at the heart – a molecule kept in secret. The base is formed of white musk.
4. Nautica Voyage
Nautica Voyage is a fresh and salty sea breeze,that carries romantic scents of coastal herbs and woods, and awakes the man's instinct to measure his power with wild nature. The composition opens with cold, green notes of leaves and apple. There is a tender dewy mimose in the heart, which is blended with watery note of lotus and an interesting accord of linen sail of a yacht. The composition is laid on a woody base, combined of cedar, moss, musk and amber. The nose behind the perfume is Maurice Roucel. The fragrance was launched in 2006. This is a very cheap fragrance, you can get it for 20 dollars online.
3. Versace Man Eau Fraiche
This Versace Man version is fresh and aquatic. While the original Versace Man had a certain Latino vibe to it due to tobacco note in its oriental surroundings, Eau Fraiche has a Mediterranean quality with some woody notes. Top notes include lemon, bergamot, rosewood, and rose. Heart notes feature cedar, tarragon, sage and pepper. Base notes are amber, musk, saffron and woody notes. Versace Eau Fraiche was created in 2006. The nose behind this fragrance is Olivier Cresp. Performes very well in hot weather.
2. Chanel Allure Homme Sport
After Allure Homme, Chanel house presented Allure Homme Sport, which came as a fresher and sharper fragrance. The crystal clear beginning introduces notes of water and aldehydes. It is followed by woodsy and spicy character of the fragrance, which thanks to luminous vetiver is not oriental heavy, but light and translucent. The base is composed of sensual white musk, tonka beans and amber. It was designed in 2004 by the famous 'nose' of Chanel house, Jacques Polge. Great Projection, longevity and Sillage! This is my signature scent, it's very versatile.
1. Thierry Mugler Ultra Zest
Ultra Zest introduces a new dose of juiciness, tartness and strong accords of red orange and tangerine cooled additionally by mint along with tart-lemonish ginger in the opening. As the composition develops, you will feel fine aromas of coffee (repeated from numerous version of the original) blended with sweet spicy accords of cinnamon and black pepper. A game of warm, bright and cold notes stretches all the way to the base created of warm and deep notes of vanilla, patchouli and tonka. Thierry Mugler Ultra Zest results in a top quality woody composition spiced well with a game of warm and cold spices and refreshed with citruses, evoking the pleasant feeling of summer mornings and the first rays of the sun tingling and warming our skin. The perfumers of the composition are Jacques Huclier and Quintin Bisch of Givaudan. The fragrance has been available since early 2015.
