1. Phantom Eau de Toilette by Rabanne

Get ready to roll out the red carpet and welcome a fragrance for men, created for a modern-day King – K by Dolce & Gabbana. With its energising and confident blend of Sicilian lemon, blood orange, and fiery pimento, you’ll be left wondering after the first spray why you hadn’t tried this right-royal fragrance beforehand!
Dior’s fresh and bold scent,Sauvage, is modelled on the timeless gentlemen and has been designed to outlast both time and fashion. Featuring notes of amber and citrus, this has undeniable head-turning abilities, and trust us, compliments are inevitable when you wear this scent! Looking for an even bolder take on Sauvage? Check out the extreme concentration version, Sauvage Elixir.
If all you (wanna) do is win, win, win, why don’t you go for a fragrance that is literally victory in a bottle? So, whether you slept through your alarm, missed the bus, or messed up your presentation, chill out! Invictus by Paco Rabanne is the best aftershave to bring you back to the top in seconds.
Mr Rabanne once said, “In all civilisations, gold has always managed to seduce people”. And he was absolutely right when it comes to 1 Million. If the iconic gold bottle isn’t enough, the fragrance for men screams luxury. If you’re a fan of the finer things in life, then this is the fragrance for you.
With its rich, sensual aroma, Code by Armaniis undoubtedly one of the sexiest-smelling fragrances on our shelves! A citron cocktail of bergamot and lemon with soft notes of olive tree blossom, warmed with smoky wood and Tonka Bean melt together to create a fragrance that is destined to be your signature date night scent! Plus, the bottle is refillable, what more could you need?
Bad Boy by Carolina Herrera is the head-turning fragrance you’ve been looking for! Bergamot, white and pink pepper mix with Tonka bean and cocoa to create a scent just as striking as the lightning bolt bottle! Would you expect anything less than daring, bold and distinctive from Carolina Herrera? No, we wouldn’t either!
8. L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Intense by Issey Miyake
If you’re looking for a fresh fragrance that is also long-lasting, this is the one for you! A burst of tangerine and yuzu combine with subtle water lily, warmed by spicy notes of cinnamon and nutmeg at the heart. A finishing touch of sandalwood, vetiver, and tobacco mix create an intoxicating and masculine scent that’s almost impossible to resist.
Some fragrances come and go, but then there’s a small handful which seem to get better as each year goes by, and Hugo Boss’ Boss Bottled is one of those! The iconic fragrance, first released in 1998, has become a firm staple in many men’s fragrance collections. If you haven’t experienced its timeless composition of crisp apple, warming cardamom and comforting woody notes, then we highly recommend you do!
Would it even be a top 10 aftershave list if we didn’t include Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier? When it was released in 1995, its blend of Tonka bean, vanilla, lavender, and mint notes won over the world. Not only is this fragrance totally unique, but it changed masculine scents forever. So, if you’re looking for something iconic, you know what to do.
