The Freshest Summer Fragrances
The beach, a jungle, a field of lavender, an Italian citrus orchard, or the deck of an expensive boat… The best summer fragrances transport you. A great scent is complex, mixing base, mid and top notes to evoke a feeling and create a smell that will make people wonder,
“Who are you wearing?” Honouring the world-class sailing team that competes under the Prada banner, Prada’s Luna Rossa Ocean is a classic summer scent that is perfect for the post-gym washbag. Its defining notes are bergamot and iris with a caramel finish, making it fresh, masculine and an MH award-winner for a reason. Acqua Di Parma’s Blu Mediterraneo Mandorlo di Sicilia, meanwhile, captures the Mediterranean way of life with notes of star anise, bergamot, Italian orange, vanilla and cedarwood. It’s a fragrance for long evenings in Palermo – or maybe just a really hot weekend in the garden. _ 01. TOM FORD SOLEIL BLANC £85

When it comes to a standout beard trimmer, there are a few simple but crucial criteria to consider. Does it glide evenly across your skin and maintain its blade quality, even after multiple uses? Is it ergonomic and well built? How solid is the battery life? Can you surf the internet on it? (Maybe that one isn’t as important… yet.) Boasting all these features and more, our best in class, the Philips Shaver Series 7000 Wet and Dry Shaver for Men, might be a mouthful to say but is a dream to use. It features a motion control sensor that tracks how you shave to help you improve your technique; self-sharpening blades; and a protective coating made of micro-tech beads that cuts friction by 25%. It’s the perfect daily trimmer. In second place, the King C Gillette offers three combs and 11 length settings, and it can even double up as a hair clipper. A versatile, easy-to-handle option at a great price. _ 01. PHILIPS SERIES WET AND DRY SHAVER £300 02. KING C GILLETTE BEARD TRIMMER £30 03. REMINGTON T-SERIES BEARD TRIMMER AND HAIR CLIPPER £50 04.
