Tried and tested: The best smells for men
Ermenegildo Zegna – Zegna Colonia (75ml eau de toilette £33)
Exclusive to John Lewis, this is very Italian, high on bergamot. Initial sharpness does mellow.
DKNY Men (50ml eau de toilette £35.23)
Fruity scent ideal for spring with its layers of mandarin and bergamot. A touch of florals adds subtlety.
Calvin Klein Obsession for Men (75ml eau de toilette £32)
Warm and sexy without being too strong, with spices and woods.
Burberry – Summer for Men (100ml eau de toilette £32)
Maybe it is the thyme or gorse bush but this is quite a sharp start although it mellows with woods and musk.
Yves Saint Laurent – La Nuit de L’Homme (60ml eau de toilette £39)
Launched this spring, mixing spicy cardamom with calming lavender, this is sexy and soft without being overpowering.
