The top Christmas giftable Sephora men’s fragrances
Searching for a gift for your significant other, significant brother or another male in your life? We’ll give you a top tip for free: not socks again - they’re so 2008!
Fragrance is a Christmas gift that always hits the mark. Even if you buy him a second bottle of his favourite scent, he’s bound to use it after he’s finished the first. The Sephora collection is full of men’s fragrances from eau de toilette, eau de parfum, cologne, musky scents, woody scents, masculine scents and more. While variety is the spice of life, multiple options can lead to tricky decision making. What to get the one you love with so many men’s fragrances on the market? Let us run through the top Sephora picks we think he’ll love (and you’ll love him in).
CK One Eau De Toilette Spray by Calvin Klein
Nothing says effortless masculinity like Calvin Klein. Available in a 100ml or 200ml bottle, this classic EDT is clean and contemporary. Rather than an overbearing aroma, the subtle fragrance is made with intimacy in mind. You’ll have to be up close and personal to catch notes of cardamom, pineapple, nutmeg and musk. For a bright yet sensual fragrance, you’ve come to the right place. Give him a gift you’ll enjoy, too!
This is not a Blue Bottle by Histoires de Parfums
This colourful, quirky EDP is as much about the aesthetic as it is the fragrance inside. In a bright blue bottle featuring a multicoloured paint splatter effect, it’s a vibrant and eye-catching addition to any bedside cabinet. Matching the energetic exterior, the scent is an explosion of expression. Ivy, pink pepper, lilac, ylang-ylang, musk, sandalwood and vanilla come together for a woody scent that will perfectly suit artistic and creative types.
Pour Homme Eau de Toilette by Versace
For a designer fragrance that exudes classic style, Versace hits the mark again. This woody scent balanced with floral accords is ideal for masculine types not afraid to embrace their softer side. The classic blue bottle is available in 30ml, 50ml or 100ml so why not give him a taster - or a year’s supply if he's already a fan?
Burberry Classic Men Eau De Toilette
Short of inspo for your loved one’s Christmas gift? You can’t go wrong with Burberry. Launched in 1996 to sit aside the fashion line, Burberry colognes have ruled the fragrance roost ever since. This EDT celebrates masculinity at its finest: cedar and tonka bean exude inner strength while amber celebrates subtle warmth of character. Top notes of lavender and mint ensure the fragrance is fresh and uplifting to wear. Treat him to 50ml or 100ml this Christmas.
Black Orchid All Over Body Spray from Tom Ford Beauty
For a men’s fragrance that’s fresh and easy to wear, consider Black Orchid. With floral notes at its heart and oriental accords laying below, it’s a light and invigorating scent that can be worn all year around. Unlike other EDTs and EDPs, this spray bottle can be spritzed over the whole body from the legs to the arms and torso. Fans of Black Orchid Eau de Parfum can wear the two layered together for the ultimate fresh, masculine scent. Otherwise, it can be worn alone as a daily body spray. Either way, he's sure to feel and smell fantastic in 2019...
REPLICA At the Barber's EDT from Maison Margiela
Setting itself apart from the rest with its gentle nostalgic scent, this Maison Margiela cologne is a perfect Christmas gift for the old-fashioned man. Black pepper, white musk, basil and rosemary evoke memories of a trip to the barbers; a masculine ritual that never grows old. In a vintage bottle, he’ll love the classic style as well as the musky scent.
212 VIP Men Party Fever by Carolina Herrera
Night owls and socialites will love the spicy, woody scent of this fashionable cologne... As will you! The alluring blend of warm notes bring back memories of exclusive parties and endless summer nights spent at his side. If that’s not enough to seal the deal, he’ll love the chromed iridescent effect of this blue-green bottle. Take a chance - you can't go wrong!
