The Right Scent: The Finishing Touch Every Man Needs
Clothes may make the man, but the right scent makes him unforgettable.
When I work with clients, we spend a lot of time perfecting fit, color, and wardrobe essentials. But here’s what often gets overlooked: fragrance.
A man’s scent is part of his personal brand. It’s subtle, but powerful—the kind of detail that makes someone remember meeting you and the impression you made.
Here’s how to think about it:

1. Keep It Subtle
Your scent should enter the room with you, not before you. One or two sprays is enough. You want to be remembered, not overwhelm the people around you.

Try: Bleu de Chanel or Hugo Boss – Bottled Tonic for a clean, approachable everyday presence.
2. Choose for the Season
Crisp, fresh, and citrus scents work best in warmer weather. Think clean, light, effortless.
Woody, spicy, and musky scents shine in the colder months—richer notes that feel sophisticated and grounded.
Try: Montblanc – Explorer for spring/summer freshness, or John Varvatos – Vintage for rich, cold-weather notes.

3. Match the Occasion
Just like you wouldn’t wear the same outfit to the office and the gym, you shouldn’t rely on one all-purpose fragrance.
Everyday: professional, versatile scents. (Hugo Boss – Bottled Tonic)
Evening: deeper, more complex aromas for dinners, dates, or events. (John Varvatos – Vintage)
4. Make It Personal
The best scent is the one that feels like you. Don’t buy a bottle just because it’s popular—wear the fragrance that makes you feel confident.
Style isn’t only what people see—it’s also what they remember.
A well-chosen fragrance is the final detail that takes you from “well-dressed” to truly unforgettable.
