The Season’s Best Summer Scents

Styles and wardrobes change with the seasons; why should your cologne be any different? As the summer scorches on, it’s high-time to ditch those heavy winter musks and adopt a lighter, more refreshing scent suitable to backyard barbecues and afternoons sitting poolside. With Armani, Tom Ford, and everyone in between releasing brand new summer fragrances, here is a compilation of the very best this season has to offer.

1. Venetian Bergamot, Tom Ford

A scent that revolves entirely around its namesake Prince of Citrus, Tom Ford Venetian Bergamot is a spicily masculine combination of Venetian Bergamot – Italy’s famous southern orange citrus – dotted with notes of Chinese magnolia and ginger essence. At first spritz, the eau du parfum is a fiery sting of black and pink peppercorn that, over time, gives way to a pleasant magnolia and gardenia accord to provide an inviting warmth to a cashmere undertone. Inspired by the sensuality of Venice, Tom Ford’s latest is a striking ode to love – bottled up in the famous Ford chess piece packaging – from the Mediterranean’s famous City of Water.

Bask in Summer Glory with Burberry Brit Splash

Burberry Brit presents you with a refreshing aquatic fragrance for men amidst the blazing heat. Inspired by none other than London’s enlivening summer energy, Burberry Brit Splash offers a scent that is simultaneously cooling and sizzling. The subtle merge between distinct sensualities is truly a chef-d’oeuvre, and was collaboratively born from Burberry’s Christopher Bailey and esteemed perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. The masterminds behind the scent incorporated honeydew melon, rosemary, and galbanum as top notes to initially suggest crisp lightness that soon matures with cyclamen, violet, and watery accord at its heart, and is finished with the masculine sensuality harvested by moss, musk, and vetiver. The bottle boasts light blue hues that successfully reflect the aquatic nature of the cologne and augment a sense of airiness, featuring, of course, the iconic Burberry check overlaid in transparent tones. Incorporating new style while staying close to traditions, the British label once again reminds us its long-lasting sovereignty in the realm of aromas. This scent marks the latest addition to the Brit fragrances collection that previously introduced Brit Rhythm for Men Eau de Toilette Intense, and is available now online.
