7 Attention-Grabbing Men's Perfumes People Will Ask You About
Want people to ask "what are you wearing?" These 7 men's perfumes are known for projection and presence, plus how to wear them without overdoing it.
What makes a perfume attention-grabbing?
A perfume with presence usually combines two things: clear projection, meaning the scent carries a distance, and sillage, meaning it leaves a trail as you walk. This tends to happen in perfumes with ambroxan, spices, vanilla or strong fruit.
7 picks
Creed Aventus
Pineapple, bergamot and blackcurrant, birch and jasmine, on musk and ambergris. A luxurious smoky fruity scent and one people often ask about.
Versace Eros
Mint and green apple, tonka and ambroxan, on vanilla. Fresh, sweet and very powerful on nights out.
Paco Rabanne 1 Million
Grapefruit and mint, cinnamon and rose, on leather and amber. Spicy, sweet and confident.
Lattafa Asad
Pineapple and blackcurrant, birch and jasmine, on musk, vanilla and amber. Strong presence and a magnetic scent.
Invictus Parfum
Grapefruit, sea breeze and bay leaf on ambergris. Fresh with high projection.
Sauvage Elixir
Grapefruit, cinnamon and cardamom, lavender and licorice, on sandalwood and amber. Very concentrated and warm.
Armani Code Absolu
Apple and mandarin, olive blossom and nutmeg, on tonka, vanilla and sandalwood. Elegant and sweet with a calm presence.
Presence vs annoyance
A strong perfume needs control: two sprays of Sauvage Elixir or Eros are plenty. Good presence draws people closer rather than pushing them away. On public transport and in tight spaces, one spray.
