Best perfume for Spring 2015

Best for… sunny spring days

Boss Bottled Unlimited

Boss Bottled has become one of the great success stories in contemporary fragrance, selling in excess of 70 million bottles since its launch back in 1998. This new, limited edition version freshens things up in time for summer (should we have one) thanks to the addition of mint and pineapple notes. The result is a more energetic, fresh and vibrant version of the fragrance we all know and love. The bottle is unfeasibly cool too.

Best for… evenings out

Givenchy Gentlemen Only Intense

Leathery, woody and peppery, this tweaked version of last year’s Gentleman Only fragrance is richer, sweeter and darker than its brother, while retaining its warm and earthy patchouli core. It also contains tonka bean – an ingredient which provides a soft, pipe tobacco undertone.

Best for… the summer of sport

Paul Smith Extreme Sport

More vibrant, uplifting and energetic than their regular counterparts ‘sport’ editions of fragrances aren’t just good après gym, they’re perfect for summer too. This one – a rejigged version of Paul Smith’s perennially popular Extreme fragrance – is no exception. Laced with orange, Moroccan mint and black pepper, it’s bursting with vitality.

Best for… long weekends away

Bentley For Men Azure

Crisp and fresh with a creamy finish, this latest fragrance from the luxury British car manufacturer is a complex cocktail of zingy citrus fruits, Mediterranean herbs and warm woods. It’s also bang on trend thanks to the addition of violet leaf. Also found in other spring scents like Zegna Uomo, Jay Z’s Gold and Mont Blanc Emblem, this adds a fresh, green, ‘leafiness’ and is 2015’s must-have ingredient for men’s fragrance.

Best for… longevity

Dior Homme Eau For Men

Dior’s upcoming powdery and sweet scent is built around the Iris note that made their original Homme fragrance so successful. It manages to be fresh yet warm and woody all at once and also has a rich creaminess and good staying power.

Best for… everyday wear

Armani Code Ice

Woody, sensual and fresh, the latest fragrance in the hugely successful Armani Code range fuses a trio of minty notes with spicy ginger, zingy lemon and notes of geranium, lavender and a raft of woods. The result is a fragrance that’s much fresher than Code and manages to be just as wearable at night as it is in the daytime. Cool stuff.
