01 GIVENCHY GENTLEMEN ONLY FRAICHE 

AN ELEGANT citrusy, aromatic, woody scent in a frosted icy blue flask, the top notes of the Givenchy Gentleman are pure citrus while Nepal mint and sage make up the spicy heart. This lightas-air scent can lift your mood on a Monday or just about any weekday.

02 VOYAGE D'HERMÈS 

ENVISIONED BY Hermès' master perfumer JeanClaude Ellena, Voyage is one of the most refreshing fragrances out there. There's a hint of spices and cardamom, the presence of green tea, the zing of Amalfi lemon and the warmth of musk and wood. Enough surprises to keep you engaged right through your voyage or exotic holiday.

03 212 HEROES CAROLINA HERRERA FOR MEN 

IT'S NOT REALLY a bottle but a perfume flacon that's shaped like a skateboard. Carolina Herrera (CH) has not shied away from experimenting with packaging; this new scent aims to conjure images of the free spirit of the Big Apple. This aromatic fruity fougere opens with pear, cannabis and ginger. You will experience a fresh and sweet kick before the geranium and sage heart takes over.

04 BVLGARI AQVA POUR HOMME

FEW fragrances capture the elements of the ocean like this scent by master perfume Jacques Cavallier. Aqva Pour Homme starts with fresh aromas of petit grain and citruses. Its heart features Posidonia Oceanica seaweed. The intense includes mineral amber and woody notes. All these give this fresh, longlasting aquatic woody fragrance its exceptional character.

05 JO MALONE

THIS CITRUS aromatic fragrance, launched in 1999, remains one of the brand's bestsellers. Lime, mandarin orange and bergamot create the perfect citrusy vibe while the floral-spicy heart includes basil.
