Scents function on so many levels, from the initial whiff to make a first impression to locking in that to an impression seared into memory. With an experience unlike any other, it is ultimately pleasant when the initial interface matches the coalescing with your chemistry. And this is precisely how Issey Miyake L’Eau D’Issey Pour Homme Wood & Wood functions, with its flask of oak.

3 BVLGARI MAN

But as usual, there is always a workaround, drawing up a moment in realized forms, particularly an evocative scent that comes at the exact moment the sun hits a tree, warming it up at different timed increments. This is particularly what Bvlgari Man has bottled in Wood Neroli, a citrus-woody fragrance that centers on the utilizing every bit of a bitter orange tree and neroli, of course. Radiating with a top note of zesty neroli and bergamot, the scent trails to a graceful anchor of cedarwood and orange blossom, before finally giving way to a magnetic trail of sensual amber wood accords.

4 CAROLINA HERRERA

Taking this searing image to heart, Carolina Herrera presents its dualityinspired fragrance, Bad Boy.

Housed in a striking lightning-shaped flacon, the captivating fragrance definitely has that undeniable bad boy energy we would love to evoke from time to time.

From the coasts to the countryside, there is much to experience from Italy, and this time around, Italian heritage brand, Salvatore Ferragamo encapsulates the edge and underlying charm of its concrete jungles. A locale exploding with energy and elegance, Uomo Urban Feel is an audacious blend of salty and mineral notes through its use of ozone and drift woods, which is then followed by a burst of lemon and clary sage, further enhancing its coffee-like aroma. The fragrance then builds to an explosion of cedarwood, driftwood and cumin, which settles to a calm crafting of patchouli and incense for texture, contrast, and yes, tenacious grit.
