Armani Black Code
Author: Alfonz20 Jan
Timelessly sensual, elegant, virile…
There are some things that Armani does really well and discreet elegance is one of them, especially concerning masculine fashionable accoutrements. Trust him to put class in a seductive fragrance for men and there you are; Armani Code for Men in a bottle as beautiful as the fragrance inside is deep, sonorous and timelessly charming! Fresh yet spicy too, it opens on citrusy notes and an unusual olive flower heart, evocative of lines and lines of Italian olive groves, before warming up via the exotic wood of guaiac (lignum vitae) and the sweetness of Tonka beans with their half cut hay, half caramel aroma. Code for Men is a nice companion to a professional lifestyle year round and shines best on the unassuming, modern guy.

Dolce & Gabbana The One
Author: Alfonz14 Jan
Luminous, vibrant, elegant…
Some guys have all the fun. Not only are they successful, handsome and smart, they’re downright humorous as well, taking in stride everything with confidence exuding from their every pore. No wishy-washy colognes for them, no weird modernist alloys either, they just reaffirm their prowess with their great-smelling fragrance, classic but with a twist, to be taken along the ride for evenings and special occasions. Stefano Gabbana shaped the composition of The One for Men according to his personal taste: “I like spicy-oriental notes and we’ve never done this type of fragrances, it’s a little warmer than our other men’s scents”, adding that The One is “not a banal classic, but a classic men’s fragrance that would last for years and be the type of scent that women adore”. We hereby admit it: we’re smitten!
Created: 2008
Type: Woody – Oriental
Top Note: Grapefruit, Coriander, Basil
Middle Note: Cardamom Seed, Ginger, Orange Blossom
Base Note: Cedar, Ambre, Tobacco
Narciso Rodriguez For Him
Author: Alfonz14 Jan
Sensual, elegant, charismatic...
A brand with perfect top-down design, the fragrances of Narciso Rodriguez reflect the pared down aesthetics of the fashions and the sleek image the talented Cuban-born designer projects with his every show. Narciso Rodriguez For Him focuses on the designer’s well-loved musk note but in a completely novel way; flanked by patchouli and an aromatic accord that seems out of place for a second and the more predictable, cool and watery violet leaves, it revolutionizes the masculine cologne genre. It will make you ~and those smelling its perceptible aura~ think a bit, it will make you search for where the scent ends and your natural skin scent begins and it will end up charming you. Effortlessly. Vote with your wallet if you’re accordingly charismatic.
