Iconic Korean singer-actress Yuri Kwon of Girls’ Generation plans to passionately pursue her career for the next decade. But she’s come to a realisation: “The more you have, the harder it is to hold on to everything”

Ditch the lame tie – or worse, a mug – and treat dad to a gift as suave as he thinks he is

1_ CIRE TRUDON II (Deux)

A vibrant scent in a minimalist bottle that he’ll be proud to display, this perfume brings together a harmony of energy and vitality with invigorating earth notes. An olfactory forest of mossy pine trees, juniper berries and cedar wood is elevated by spicy bitter-orange for a sensual finish.

2_ RALPH LAUREN Purple Label

As elegant as dad, this eau de toilette blends the crispness of fresh blackberry and the warmth of tobacco flower with the opulence of rich woods and smooth suedes. A scent that could quickly become his signature, it’s perfect for the country gentleman who would fit right in on the grounds of a grand estate.

3_ PENHALIGON’S Belgravia Chypre

Part of the trio that comprise the new Hidden London collection, this one is for dapper dads. Bergamot, oak moss and patchouli create the traditional chypre structure, while a surprising inflection of raspberry, pink pepper and rose add an element of chic modernity to the unique fragrance.

4_ MAISON FRANCIS KURKDJIAN Aqua Celestia Forte

One for the sailors, this fragrance imagines the dreamlike space where the sky meets the sea. Cool notes of Mexican lime, mint and petitgrain bigarade slowly transform into blackcurrant bud, woody mimosa absolute, jasmine and just a whisper of musk. It’s as fresh as the wind and as relaxing as a day on the water – a perfect summertime scent.

5_ LOUIS VUITTON Nouveau Monde

The maison’s first fragrance collection for men captures the spirit of travel in every elegant bottle. Here, notes of cocoa powder blend elegantly with oud assam, creating a dichotomy of dark and light that’s spiced with a hint of saffron. One for the explorers at heart, it’s leathery, comforting and intoxicating.
