5 Best Perfumes as Christmas Gifts for Men

The smell of a man resonates with women. It’s that lingering scent that stays after he has passed by on the street, that tantalizing smell that makes women’s smiles widen. But not all colognes are created equal. Every scent isn’t for every man. The cologne a man chooses should embody his personality, his essence: him. A woman should be able to know a little about him once she smells the scent and the decadent way it mingles with his own natural spice. Choosing the proper cologne is serious business and not one that men should take lightly.

If you are looking for a scent that captures his essence for Christmas, here are five best men’s perfumes to choose from:

Amouage Interlude Man Eau De Parfum

A luxury fragrance like no other, Amouage's Interlude Man is a great scent for the unique man in your life. From the packaging, which resembles a piece of abstract art, to the layered contents, this fragrance is dynamic. Powerful and chaotic, this fragrance from Amouage combines many ingredients to create a wild ride of a scent. With notes like oregano, frankincense, myrrh, bergamot, pimento berry oil and amber, this fragrance starts out hot and smoky, but then evens out to a leather note that is appealing. The texture of this scent suits a rugged man who enjoys the outdoors, but dresses up well.

Truefitt and Hill Sandalwood Cologne

Sandalwood Cologne by Truefitt and Hill comes in an attractive bottle and sets the stage for an invigorating experience. Their crafty combination of citrus favorites like lemon, bergamot and lime bring a zing to the scent that keeps you aware of its presence. By mixing the bright flash of citrus with subtler undertones of sandalwood, cedarwood, and tonka, Sandalwood evens out the fragrance, giving it a sophisticated air. This fragrance works for a man who prides himself on a crisp appearance. This balance between earthy and citrusy will compliment straight lines and colorful accents.

Santal Noble by Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier Perfume

Santa Noble fragrance boasts a combination of woody and spicy. You’ll find amber, sandalwood, vanilla and musk, which combine for the most striking scent. A hint of sweetness exists under the woody hint, further enhancing the fragrance. This long-lasting scent is memorable. This fragrance is perfect for the man who dresses for work in a suit or relishes tuxedo-clad events.

Amouage Fate for Man

New from Amouage, Fate for Men offers a sharp first note that settles in with dry down. The tart woody composition is brisk from the first notes. Saffron, wormwood, cumin, ginger and mandarin, as well as floral and woody notes combine to make this scent memorable. A complex man will be served well by this scent, as its intricacies will interweave with his.

Garrigue by Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier Perfume

Aromatic and unique, Garrigue scent is an herbal explosion. Lemon and bergamot combine to add the fresh citrus base. Combined with herb notes like thyme, rosemary and sage, Garrigue is a treat to the senses. A nature-lover with a penchant for the outdoors is paired well with this scent.
