If Dad is the kind who likes his cologne ‘over the top’ here are some ‘picks’ for him. These are some of the best and elegant of the collection for men.
For the classy, elegant, stylish, and timeless fragrance, the House of Creed is a good choice. ‘Green Irish Tweed’ is earthy, woody, clean, fresh, herbal, and aquatic. It contains mysora, sandalwood, ambergris, violet leaves, French verbena, and Florentine iris. This one was made for Cary Grant by Creed. ‘Royal Delight’ and ‘Ambre Cannelle’ (cinnamon amber) are two other good choices. ‘Love In Black’ is the newest Creed fragrance and can be worn by men and women. It has a subtle top note of violet which is used in many men’s fragrances. ‘Silver Water’ and ‘Green Valley’ are two more on the earthy, clean side. houseofcreed.com or google for better prices. Testers are something you may want to consider if you just want to try something.
Another brand on the classic side is an English brand called Truefitt & Hill. My two favorites are the original ‘1805’ and ‘Spanish Leather’. I’ve got a thing for the smell of leather especially when mixed with tobacco. Russian leather is best though because the scent is older. My husband wears both of these and I love them. londonsbathocary.com
For an intricate taste of classy try Tom Ford. His ‘Black Orchid’ for men is to die for and the women’s version is too. For men, there are 14 choices from his private collection. My favorite top four are Black Violet, Purple Patchouli, Tobacco Vanille, and Tuscan Leather. He also has a scent called ‘noir de noir’. I like this because it is the darkest of the dark. tomford.com or google
For FLAIR Bond #9 is a great choice. I have their Bon Bon box which contains just about everything they have. Most all their fragrances except 3 or 4 are unisex therefore, you can try them out to see which you’d prefer. The Andy Warhol Collection is very Nouveau with Silver Factory, Union Square, and Lexington Avenue. Other nice ones for guys are Chez Bond, Wall Street, Saks 5th Ave. for Him, and the list goes on. I like Coney Island and New Harleem. These are all representative of the 3 sections of NYC, Uptown, Midtown, and Downtown. The original bottles are a work of art if you are a collector as I. bond #9 site or (212) 940-2148
Something on the artsy side of the spectrum is Comme de Garcons. I love, love, love the Series 3 Incense. Avignon is my favorite. This was worn by the singer Morrissey and was his documented favorite for years. The other one I like is Kyoto. It’s very nice. There are a couple others in the series also. I’ve tried them all. Series #2 Red ‘Carnation’ and ‘Palisander’ are my favorites in the #2 series. These are the spicy ones. Keep in mind all are unisex. The ‘Synthetic’ Series are completely undefined like metals, irons, concrete, etc. These are for the really unique person who likes a different approach. These can be found at luckyscent.com. Request samples you’d like to try in the comments box.
If you’re a whimsical kind of guy, I’d recommend Tokyo Milk, ‘Poe’s Tobacco’ (beautyhabit.com) or Aquolina’s ‘Blue Sugar’ (fragrancenet.com). Look at the fragrance notes to these and you’ll guess why.
