Perfume is one of the best gifts you can give. It's also one of the easiest to get wrong. The good news is that you don't need to know everything about fragrance to find something he'll love. You just need to know a bit about him.
Here are our picks, sorted by who he is.
For the guy who wears the same as everyone else
You know the type. He smells good, but he also smells exactly like half the city on a Friday night. Give him something that's still easy to wear, but that people ask about.
French Cowboy Fig Lemonade is fresh and easy to love: lemonade, fig leaves and cedarwood. It's the kind of scent you can wear every day without it getting boring.
For the guy who runs on coffee
Theodoros Kalotinis Coffee Addict does what it says. If he can't function before his first cup, this is a safe bet.
For the guy who'd rather stand out than fit in
Room 1015 Wassabi Klub is a tribute to street culture. Yuzu and grapefruit on top, wasabi and Sichuan pepper in the heart, and a concrete accord at the base. Yes, concrete. It's sharp, spicy and completely its own thing. For the guy who skates, listens to music nobody else knows, or is just tired of smelling "nice".
For the guy who loves warm and sweet
Pernoire Luvani is vanilla after dark. Not sugary cake, but warm, round and a little mysterious. Perfect for winter evenings. Right now you get a free 7.5 ml with every 50 ml, so he'll have one for his pocket too.

For the guy who supports local
Anstrøg is a young Danish perfume house from Aarhus. Their first scent, No Doubt, has cumin, honey and violet over patchouli, woods and Madagascan vanilla. Made in small batches in Denmark. A great gift if he likes a story with it.
For the collector who has everything
He has a shelf full of bottles and knows what an extrait is. Give him something he can't buy in a department store. Les Indémodables is a French house that lists exactly how much of each raw material is in its scents, and uses them in doses most houses don't dare. It's a scent he'll talk about.
When you're not sure
If you're unsure about his taste, go for something he can explore himself:
- A discovery set, so he can try several scents at home.
- A travel spray, which is a smaller investment and perfect for a pocket or bag.
- A gift card, so he can choose himself. It's not a boring gift if he gets to come by the store and smell his way through.
