There MUST be a reason why scents like Tabac Original have withstood the test of time! It seemed in the 70's and 80's that every man, his brother, uncle and son were wearing it… it is testament to its widespread appeal that guys are still reaching for it today!

Produced in the 1950's by Maurer and Wirtz (of '4711' fame), Tabac Original is incredibly masculine and is proof positive that 'inexpensive' does not have to mean "cheap"! Tabac Original is my guilty pleasure - specifically the Eau de Cologne splash which can be bought for next to nothing, and applied with mad abandon. It's crisp, classic opening of lemon, bergamot and aromatic lavender shimmer over a fragrant heart of carnation, sandalwood, pine needles and soft florals. Each component feels seamlessly incorporated. A trail of musk, moss and vetiver make for a scent which is both casual and smart, and well-suited to all occasions.

Tabac Original is one of those feel-good scents which will likely grace the bathroom counters of many generations to come. It's formula has been chiefly unchanged for over a half-century, this fragrance is a good example of the classic pillars of perfumery.

Cheeky, independent, carefree; Hugo Boss’ Hugo is a youthful charmer with his sights set on having a good time!

A brisk, refreshing, aromatic scent, this fragrance embraces modernity and a sense of fun. It's crisp green apple / grapefruit flight doesn’t take itself too seriously. Perhaps *the* perfect first fragrance for a young man, one can’t help but enjoy it’s spritely appeal.

Designed in 1995, Hugo is one of the greatest summer male fragrances of all time. It's a quickstep of fresh fruits, mint, basil, aromatic lavender and sappy pine. These accords do not rest too heavily over it’s bright floral heart of jasmine, geranium and carnation. Like a verdant spring of bottomless green, Hugo is a casual scent but one which also has classic undertones Whist it’s foundation is one of woods and earthy patchouli, it still manages to remain upbeat and fresh from top to bottom. Packaged in a cool canteen-shaped flacon, Hugo is all about adventure and living on the edge.

Possibly the best scent to wear with a crisp white shirt and jeans, Hugo delivers on projection and longevity, too! And gents, I’m yet to meet a woman who doesn’t love this one! 

First released in 2009, A*men Pure Malt (whilst still carrying the original Angel Men DNA) tipped it’s hat to Scotch Whiskey with its exceptional malt infusion. No-one could have predicted its popularity because it sold hand over fist, but it’s life was short lived as a limited edition, and soon, stocks were depleted everywhere! A very public outcry from it’s loyal followers saw Mugler bring it back into production. A scent that’s given this much love just has to be a winner, right? RIGHT!

A brilliant reinterpretation of the original, A*men Pure Malt has unique smoked, woody nuances that have macerated in the mix, and this takes it into a whole new stratosphere! Probably the ultimate woody oriental scent for men, Pure Malt enjoys a dense fruity flight before the malted, peaty notes kick in… its woody heart calls to mind whiskey and ice tinkling in heavy crystal tumblers, and the roar of an open fire. Complex yet refined, Pure Malt is mellow, stately and sophisticated, with seamless transition from top to bottom over many hours.

Brilliant for a night on the town, or a night with your significant other, Pure Malt is a compliment-magnet no matter whose company you’re in. And who doesn’t love it’s flash rubber bottle with sparkling amber star?!
