Introduced in 2010, Creed’s Aventus is inspired by the dramatic life of a historic emperor who waged war, peace and romance on his terms, riding on horseback to victory. The unrivalled Aventus is comprised of superb ingredients, a worldly blend and must-have for the individual who savors a life well-lived. Royal but not imposing, Creed Aventus is made with ingredients hand-selected worldwide by Olivier Creed, along with his son, Erwin, seventh generation of Creed and its future chief. Essences he chose were shipped to Creed’s French workshop, where father and son created Aventus using hand production methods that date to the founding of the House of Creed in 1760. The result: a work of excellence fit for the most discerning clientele.

This romantic-feeling scent opens with the ethereal notes of jasmine and saffron, before softening into a woodier blend of amber accord and cedar. The fragrance is longwearing and has strong sillage. Notes to know: Jasmine, saffron, cedar wood and ambergris. Dior Sauvage Eau De Toilette A powerfully fresh interpretation of the Eau de Toilette in a bottle that goes everywhere you do. Uninhibited. Masculine. The new way to wear fragrance. An unbreakable bottle you can take anywhere and apply any time. A more environmentally friendly mist system using compressed air. Although Sauvage Very Cool Spray is as direct a composition as the Eau de Toilette, I saw it as a way of highlighting Sauvage's structure. I wanted to reveal its framework and its essence, so that this search for lightness and freshness remained a strong signature. Mancera Cedrat Boise Vibrant and sparkling, Cedrat Boise opens with notes of citrus fruits, blackcurrants and spices and rests on a sensual heart of jasmine and patchouli leaves. Its long-lasting sillage captivates you with woody, vanilla, leathery and musky notes. HEAD NOTES Citrus from Sicily, Blackcurrant & Cold spices. HEART NOTES Aquatic Jasmine, Leaves of Patchouli. BASE NOTES Woody Notes, Leather, Oakmoss & Sensual Vanilla.Parfums De Marly LaytonLayton is a fragrance which captures the essence of the debonair. This seductive oriental and floral fragrance with an intense olfactory signature opens with bergamot and its tangy passion, while lavender and geranium blend into a fresh note, chic and chivalrous all at once. The intensity of the eau de parfum is further amplified by amber, enhanced by the natural elegance of pink pepper. Distinguished and addictive, Layton’s character is further carried by vanilla and precious woods, which develop through an intriguing note of caramelized coffee.
