Capturing the essence of the millennial generation, Yves Saint Laurant have just released their new perfectly balanced fragrance, Y.

Initio – Psychedelic Love
Another boutique fragrance that’s a little different from the rest, you can rest assured that few other men will be sporting the decedent Psychedelic Love.

Tom Ford – Fucking Fabulous
Hands down, the buzziest fragrance of 2017; Tom Ford’s Fucking Fabulous hits you with notes of tonka bean, leather and sage with about as much subtly as a monster truck. Sweet, yet masculine, the British designer’s latest fragrance doesn’t come cheap but you can guarantee you’ll be the best smelling gent wherever you go.
