A good fragrance is a must-have in every man’s routine. It’s often the first thing people notice about you, and tells the world the kind of person you are. But finding a great fragrance – one that speaks to your personality and personal style – is no small feat. It’s the same reason why many are straying away from having just one signature scent, and instead are opting for a “scent wardrobe” – a rotating roster of scents, worn by whim, that better capture fluctuating frames of mind.  

But building a scent wardrobe is no small feat, so here we have put together a comprehensive list of the fragrances every man should own. Whether you’re after the fresh and crisp allure of green notes, the daring and bold statement of modern woody scents, or the complex sweetness of tropical blends, we unveil fragrances that will do the talking for you. 

Penhaligon’s Alula, $420 from Penhaligon’s located on Ground Floor  

Affectionately inspired by the ancient oasis city Al-‘Ula, in Saudi Arabia, this Eau de parfum boasts a rich fruity scent of plum and patchouli to instantly whisk you away to the alluring terracotta-hued landscape. Housed in an elegant bottle with palm tree artwork, it’s the kind of perfume you would proudly display on your nightstand.  

Baux Eau de Toilette, $95 from L'Occitane located on Lower Ground 1  

This sweet-meets-spicy scent features base notes of Tonka Bean and vanilla, with pepper and cardamom. While it exudes a heavier vanilla profile, the top notes of cypress and incense help give it an earthy quality, imbuing it with a spicy aroma that makes it a great going-out after-dark scent.  

Fresh As, $135 from Lush located on Lower Ground 1  

Like a walk through a lush forest on a crisp winter morning, this unisex scent from Lush bursts with the scent of refreshing pine needles, a sharp, invigorating scent that immediately awakens the senses. Perfect for when you want to smell fresh and clean like you’ve just jumped out of the shower.
