The Top 10 Perfumes for Men

The Top 10 Perfumes for Men 

For a very long time, perfumery was an area that was exclusively reserved for women. The men then perfumed themselves with Eau de Cologne. The masculine-feminine distinction was born at the same time as the industry, in the mid-nineteenth century. The historian Élisabeth de Feydeau explains that this differentiation between men's fragrances and women's fragrances is the result of a desire to segment the market in order to organize it, and to allow consumers to better understand each other. Since that day, men's fragrance has become more codified. It explores a multitude of different olfactory territories and evolves from year to year according to trends. As 2017 comes to an end, it is high time for us to give you a quick overview of the fragrances that have marked the year.

A woody fern fragrance reminiscent of the great outdoors

Sauvage de Dior is conceived as a vast landscape. It draws directly from the great American spaces and evokes alone the blue of the sea or that of the sky in front of a mineral landscape heated by the sun. His departure with bergamot is particularly fresh. It is associated with peppery spices and more fruity scents. An ozonic and woody stream runs through all of this perfume. The ambroxan enhances the marine and amber while the whole is still enriched with a breath of incense. The woody power of Sauvage is omnipresent in its background while aromatic notes also sublimate the whole.

 The new Gentleman Givenchy perfume

The result is an elegant combination of audacity and spontaneity.
