FINE FRAGRANCE
Creed Fragrances launches a brand new cologne this month Viking Cologne. In contrast to the original, bold and fiery Viking which launched in 2017, this new cooler counterpart Viking Cologne combines the headiness of an EDP with the fresh twist of a cologne, making it perfect for the summer months. With top notes of Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin and Pink Pepper; combined with heart notes of Geranium, Lavender and Sage; the base is made up of creamy Sandalwood, Frankincense and Vetiver. Viking Cologne, 50ml £175.00; 100ml £240.00 from Creed Fragrances. Available at the Creed Boutique, online at creedfragrances.co.uk and at key retailers nationwide.

As irresistibly soft, light, and comfortable as a bespoke Brioni suit, Brioni Eau de Parfum is a scent that doesn’t wear you, it becomes part of who you are. Clean and inviting, crisp green apple opens the scent before soft, green, powdery violet contrasts with the musky, skin-like, silky warmth of Ambroxan. The dry down is both slick thanks to cedar and warm from the smooth tonic bean and cashmere soft musk. “Our new fragrance, like all things Brioni, perfectly balances between sophistication and charisma. A perfume that does not shout, yet envelops the wearer with an irresistible presence, a comfortable caress and masculine charm.” Norbert Stumpfl, Executive Design Director of Brioni. Brioni EDP, 60ml £70.00; 100ml £95 from Brioni. Available at the Brioni boutique, Flannels, Harrods, Harvey Nichols and Fortnum & Mason as soon as the stores reopen. brioni.com
