With all the bling-tastic appeal of a shiny christmas bauble, John Varvatos Platinum Edition is a punchy masculine from the famed American designer's perfume stable! Packaged in a cool metallic flask with hallmarked dogtag neck-tie, Platinum Edition was launched in 2013 and has swiftly climbed the Varvatos popularity ladder!

Platinum Edition is a memorable and unique scent with a patchouli-leather sucker punch! A bitter orange and bergamot opening belies a heart that is warm and brooding... cinnamon and coriander lay a spice-laiden path that leads to an amber / leather / incense nucleus. Notes of myrtle and sage lend an aromatic twist, whilst patchouli / sandalwood form the foundation upon which all is perched. Platinum Edition – whilst a designer scent – has all the olfactory markers of a niche creation;  it is refined, distinctive and commanding... just the ticket for your man over the cooler months! Lovers of Guerlain's L'Instant Pour Homme Extreme, or Juliette Has a Gun's Vengeance Extreme will find much to celebrate here!

Platinum Edition gives good bang for your buck. It will give the man in your life an individual appeal. Primal and polished in equal measures, this one is a sure-fire hit for the fellas!

Luxury and elegance abound! Spoil the special woman in your life (or better still, spoil yourself!) these holidays with a little extravagance from the celebrated house of Acqua di Parma! In the biz since 1916, Italian cologne and accessory giants Acqua di Parma created their iconic feminine chypre Profumo in 1930. In 2000, the scent was recomposed and relaunched. Since then, it has fast become a favorite amongst the jet-set and glitterati on both sides of the Atlantic!

Profumo oozes class and sophistication! Rather than remaining a snapshot of another era, Profumo also feels resolutely modern: its masterfully-crafted composition has rendered it a timeless classic! Presented in a striking inkwell flacon, Profumo enchants with its swoon-worthy blend of dewy rose, dusty iris, indolic jasmine, and heady ylang-ylang. This bouquet is carefully balanced over patchouli/woody notes, and a considered chypre base which instantly evokes a sense of worldliness and refinement.

Profumo is the ideal gift to a woman who celebrates the finer things: one who unashamedly wishes to treat herself to one of the most exceptional perfumes the world has known. It is brimming with ageless beauty and grace.

These holidays, why not put a bookmark between the pages of her life with this special scent, that she will remember for all time?

Stuck for gift ideas for him these holidays? Then why not reach into the finely fragranced repertoire of one of the world's finest luxury houses, Mont Blanc? We all know their leather goods and writing instruments are exceptional, so this year you can give him a small taste of the Mont Blanc lifestyle, but without breaking the bank! Emblem, created in 2014 has won many a heart for its brisk aromatic freshness.

Emblem is characterized by a man who is self-assured and confident... a guy who strides into the new year with swagger! Its opening flight of grapefruit, sage and cardamom sets the tone for a scent with depth, but without compromsing the freshness. A nucleus of soft violet and cinnamon lends a comforting feel, whilst basenotes of precious woods and creamy tonka bean allow it to anchor to his skin for hours. Presented in a beautiful black flacon inspired by a fine Mont Blanc pen or the winding crown from one of their exquisite wristwatches, Emblem is sure to impress. It has excellent projection and longevity – just what he needs to see himself through the marathon family gatherings these holidays!

Modern and bracing, this masculine will satisfy those fellas who love Paco Rabanne's Invictus and One Million. In short: he'll smell like a Boss!
