If you like your cologne citrusy fresh, cool and crisp, you’ll want to invest in the brand new DSquared2 Potion for Man, from £42.50 (from leading department stores). It’s packed with mint leaves, thyme, rose petals, and a hint of amber, and has a modern, fashiony vibe. Think of DSquared2’s rugged fashion collections and this is basically that, bottled.
Czech & Speake No88 cologne spray, £65, Harvey Nichols: inspired by Jermyn Street, the home of British tailoring, this fragrance has a sharp burst of bergamot blended with warm geranium, rose otto and frangipani notes, finished off with a smoky base of vetiver and sandalwood.
Sisley’s best known for its wildly expensive but exquisite skincare, but this autumn it’s released a rare men’s fragrance. It’s a corker, too, and fans of deluxe and delicate scents will want to add it to their collection. Eau d’lkar, £57, is a balance of citrus notes and more spicy accords, ideal for those days when only the best will cut it.
OLD FRIEND
Everyone has a CK One fragrance in their collection, and now there’s a new version to add, and it’s really rather gorgeous. CK One Shock, from £22.50 at The Perfume Shop, is a great morning fragrance, full of zesty top notes to wake you up. It dries down to a sexy, spicy cocktail of cardamom and black pepper.
