Perfumology Window late May 2019 getting ready for Father’s Day
We celebrate Father’s Day at the tail end of Spring, when the sun shines bright and the warm air fills us with excitement for summer. The notion behind Father’s Day was conceived by Sonora Dodd in 1909 to honor her father, William Smart, a widowed Civil War veteran who raised six children without a spouse. We at Perfumology understand what works for men, both fragrances they like to wear and what people around them like on them. Here are our top five fragrances for Father’s Day that will work for any man (and can be worn by women too).
Jusbox Feel N Chill: This is the feel-good-hit for 2019. People love the music behind Jusbox, and Feel N Chill will work perfectly for someone who wants a stand out fresh fragrance. Dominique Ropion demonstrates his incredible olfactory skill for the musical brand. Bergamot, watermelon, coconut and musk play well together on the skin to transport the wearer to a secluded beach with peaceful, calm (chill) music playing in the background.
Parfums de Lubin Korrigan: Perfumer Thomas Fontaine was inspired by the legend of Korrigans, gnomes in the French American woods. Opening with bright juniper berries, saffron, and cognac; lavender, whiskey and ambrette warm up the heart; surrounded by cedar, leather, oud, vetiver and musk at the base. Boozy wood with the right amount of sun shining through the forest canopy, Korrigan is consistently popular with men buying for themselves and makes a great gift for Father’s Day.
Gallivant Tokyo: A zingy representation of Kōdō, the Japanese way of fragrance, represents early morning Tokyo’s izakaya food district. Darling creative director Nick Steward continues his nomadic brand, this time with perfumer Nicolas Bonneville. Tokyo transports the wearer to the winding back alleys with bright yuzu, bergamot, black pepper, and a hint of wasabi over hinoki, cedarwood, orris, amber, vetiver, patchouli and sandalwood. This is for citrus and wood lovers who want an invigorating scent any day not just Father’s Day!
Ganymede by Marc-Antone Barrois: Brand new from Marc-Antoine Barrois, Ganymede is a mineral aquatic made for people with exquisite taste. Perfumer Quentin Bisch created an ozonic masterpiece based on Jupiter’s moon by which it is named. Reflecting the vast cosmic saltwater ocean, Ganymede is a sparkling fresh follow up to B683 with immortelle, Italian mandarin, violet leaf, Chinese osmanthus, and minerals.
The Dark Heart of Old Havana: The Dark Heart of Old Havana makes me think of my dad, an avid coffee drinker, often. Probably my favorite coffee fragrance, Dark Heart is a delicious tobacco gourmand that opens with citrus peach; fresh roasted coffee, creamy tonka and jasmine at the heart; and balanced with a black pepper, vanilla and musk base. Sarah McCartney skillfully harmonized powerful notes in to a gourmand unlike any other. This is a perfect example of why everyone loves 4160Tuesdays.
Nir Guy with father Shimon
My father is an inspiration to me personally and in business. He may not realize how often he pointed out the smell in the air, from gardens to coffee roasters, a skill which became an integral part of my life. He always encouraged me to explore what interests me most. Thank you, Aba, for being an amazing role model in my life. Happy Father’s Day
