Valentine's Day Fragrances for Him
Cologne is one of the top gifts for Valentines Day so I thought I'd round up some of Tony's top picks. Tony is super particular about his cologne and will spend HOURS searching for the perfect one.
Tony (and I) prefer woodsy notes and these all fit the bill...and they smell super sexy ;)
Christian Dior - Sauvage
Fragrance Family: Earthy & Woody
Scent Type: Warm Woods
Key Notes: Bergamot, Pepper, Amberwood
Fragrance Description: A radically fresh composition, Sauvage is both raw and noble. Radiant top notes burst with the juicy freshness of Calabrian bergamot, while amberwood unleashes a powerfully woody trail. Sauvage is a fragrance inspired by wide-open spaces under a blue sky that dominates a white-hot desert landscape.
Paco Robine - Invuctus

Scent Type: Warm Woods
Key Notes: Aldehydic Geranium, Laurelwood, Red Amber
Fragrance Description: The ultimate hero—made for victory. Burning like desert heat, Invictus triumphs effortlessly and speeds towards glory. Two forces clash in a blazing duel. Fresh adrenaline rides a whirlwind of hot woods for a fragrance with power—thrilling like victory.
Gucci Guilty
