Our collection of luxury colognes individually represent and reflect personal character. Locations across the world have inspired our fragrances and their natural ingredients encapsulate a variety of gentlemanly interests, tastes and passions.
So gents, whether your Valentines plans next week are as simple and intimate as an evening spent at home, or the boat is being literally pushed out and you're taking a weekend break out of your calendar, there's not a scenario to find yourself in this year that couldn't be perfected by one of our refreshing scents.
Location: The City
Date: The Table For Two
Fragrance: Bright Leaf
Notes: Tobacco Leaves, Cedar Woods
It doesn't get much more traditional than this. Perhaps you've opted for a new recommendation, dared to endure a bustling trend spot or chosen the old favourite where you met for the very first time. Whichever choice you make, allow Bright Leaf's sweet and sultry headiness to air confidently within a restaurant environment.
With nods to vintage Hollywood and Old Havana, take the time to sip on a cocktail that Hemingway would be proud of and enjoy feeling comfortable within what some may consider a potentially very stressful environment.
Location: Paris, Rome
Date: The Classic Romantic Long Weekend
Fragrance: Fougère
Notes: Lavender sourced from the Isle of Wight, Ferns and Spices, Oakmoss
Possibly the most appealing fantasy date cliché, there isn't a single soul who wouldn't want to escape their stresses and spend the weekend in a hotel abroad. You've the option of romantic walks and culture absorbing to play with, or you could similarly spend the whole time in clean comfort with room service at your beck and call.
Fougère's herbal freshness will uplift your skin after long lie-ins and lazy afternoons whilst also providing its mountainous inspiration if you do decide to boldly venture outside for supplies.
Location: Bali
Date: The Exotic Long, Long Weekend
Fragrance: Black Tea
Notes: Clove, Nutmeg, Basil and Pepper, Leather, Musty Woods, Musk, Birchtar
For those with romance in their heart and adventure in their soul (plus enough money in their account to use Valentine's as an excuse to jet away from the grey skies of home). This date is set to provide some of the wildest experiences of your life. There's always time to sleep when you get home.
Black Tea is a spicy fragrance with exotic, bold ingredients that adhere to the bohemian nature of such a date scenario.
Location: Your Place
Date: The Freshly Cooked Meal With Wine
Fragrance: Patchouli
Notes: Cardamom, Nutmeg, Black Pepper, Petitgrain, Jasmine, Rose, Geranium, Ylang Ylang, Indonesian Patchouli, Suede, Olibanum
As the pressure of heavy crowds, securing a table and potentially vast expense declines, the pressure of having to impress, keeping your house tidy and nailing a three-course meal whilst maintaining the image of 'keeping it cool' increases. Our best advice would be to trial the cooking a few days in advance to get a firm grasp of what you're doing (you could even cheat and slyly freeze what you do manage to make). Anyway, we're not here to pin point your evening - we're sure you'll be fine, but do keep your eyes peeled for further date night advice coming from us in the build up to next Friday!
Patchouli's intricate mix of velvety scents evoke confidence and spontaneity, the perfect accompaniment to a self-curated evening we'd say.
Location: Austria
Date: The Ski Trip
Fragrance: Napier 1903
Notes: Sage, Cypress, Hyssop & Fig Leaf, Patchouli, Fig & Dried Fruit, Oakmoss & Amber
As adventurous as it can be relaxing, a trip to the mountains will provide a fresh, luxurious experience for you and your partner. Embrace the cold throughout the afternoon as you hit the hills to take in the glorious views and have yourselves plenty of snow-based fun. A roaring fire in the evening with the hug of a blanket and mugs of cocoa will top off your indulgent cabin experience to a tee.
Napier's warm, green combination of ingredients creates an appropriate air of sophistication to match these surroundings.
Location: Wherever Tinder Leads You
Date: The First
Fragrance: Vetiver
Notes: Citrus, Woody Tree Moss
Apparently if you're not in a relationship these days then you're on Tinder. As a user, no matter how humorously you may decide to approach it there is always going to be a chance of scrolling to reveal the glorious profile photo of 'the one' (along with possibly all their friends). By the time you've both matched up and got to the point of texting, you'll have little to worry about come the first date.
The adventurous scent of our Vetiver cologne matches completely with the keen-spirited nature of first dates.
Location: The secret spot that only you know about
Date: The Hipster Arrangement
Fragrance: Avalon
Notes: Sicilian Bergamot and Calabrian Lemon, Neroli, Rosemary and Lavender from Haute Provence, Musk
Cool, calm and collected, this is your time to shine in territory that possibly no one else even knows about. That in its own right is going to impress your date, and don't you just know it. Just make sure you've got the conversation and interest in you to match the setting!
Avalon's sweet and evocative nature airs the right levels of confidence and passion to truly meet the occasion here.
