When it comes to accessorising, men often worry about the watch, their cufflinks, the colour of their belt, or the appropriate shoe. With the warmer weather and sweltering heat upon us, something as simple as an infusion of vertiver or verbena in a light summer fragrance can be the only accessory he needs. We’ve put together a list of our top five fragrances for the spring:

---

Burberry Brit Rhythm For Men, Intense

The new scent from the British fashion house is inspired by the energy and anticipation of live music, with a sensual, masculine vibe complemented with a smokey and leather finish. The spicy top notes of artemisia, cumin seed, and pepper oil are infused with a hint of amber, leather, and patchouli comfortably housed in an opaque glass bottle featuring a light grey metallic finish.

Eau de Cartier’s Vétiver Bleu

The purity of the sapphire-coloured bottle of Cartier’s latest fragrance is indicative of the raw elegant energy of vetiver root essence that galvanises the scent. Warm and cool collide in a thermal shock with woody aromas and liquorice producing a distinctly masculine fragrance that envelops the skin, ideal for the warmer weather.

Dunhill’s Icon

Alfred Dunhill's new fragrance, ICON, is an audacious and stylish scent that embodies a combination of strength and sensitivity. With a citrus topnote complemented with undertones of oud wood and an oris-leather accord, the earthy vertiver meld the fragrance into an iconic scent that is ideal for the spring season.

Montblanc Emblem Intense

Mont Blanc prides itself on the traditions of lasting value and exquisite craftsmanship. The latest fragrance, Emblem Intense, does not disappoint with hints of pomarose, nutmeg, cinnamon, and velvet suede. The icy fragrance’s strength is born from a mixture of grapefruit and cardamom with violet leaves and patchouli, which are cool to the touch but have a lasting lightness.

Valentino Uomo

Valentino’s latest scent perfectly partners the youthful and classic elements of the Italian fashion house. The subtle, light fragrance is a mixture of zesty bergamot with hints of spice and undertones of cedar. The softly smoky woody balance of the fragrance is ultimately an expression of unmistakable style. Indicated from the distinct design of the bottle, its shape is reminiscent of a bottle of fine liqueur because the perfume inside is reminiscent of an amber colour. The glass is cut in prisms that are studs, but could resemble the ashlar bricks on a patrician palazzo.
