Top 10 Fragrances for Spring & Summer

Even though we are all stuck in what feels like jail (except it’s like the jail in “Goodfellas” where you can make pasta), an aromatic touch can make the days a little bit more enjoyable. In the warmer months a lighter, herbal, or aquatic fragrance is favored with heavier notes like oud or musk for the colder months. But as we have seen on the runways, menswear has seen a renaissance of sartorial freedom so why shouldn’t fragrance? Fragrances have the ability to transport us to different times and locations may that be a hiking path in Colorado to a beach in France. A go-to Summer fragrance is a must, so let our list of the best fragrances for 2020 show you the many sides of summer. Some new, some old, but each an aromatic symphony we are sure you’ll appreciate.
