Eric Build Your Fragrance Wardrobe YO U R TO P P I C K S
Penhaligon’s Endymion
Sophisticated and simple, Endymion is going to lift
your fragrance game to a new level. Notes coffee, lavender, and pepper, Endymion is both versatile and unique. Can be worn in professional settings and for everyday use, this is a top recommendation.
The best place to buy a sample is on the Penhaligon’s
site where they are sometimes available for free. If they are out of stock, then Shane’s decants or ThePerfumedCourt or LuckyScent.
Penhaligon’s Sartorial
Penhaligon’s makes a second appearance with
Sartorial. Notes of lavender, honey, and dry down of grassy hay, Sartorial is a “take me seriously” and “I know what I am doing” kind of scent.

Parfums de Nicolai New York Intense
New York Intense is another universally appealing,
super professional, smart casual scent. Oakmoss, bergamot, and lavender all make this a refined everyday scent. Clean, subtle, and right in between modern and classic, New York Intense can be a great fit in your fragrance wardrobe. LuckyScent has a reasonable sample price, other places charge too much. FRESH AND CONFIDENT
Xerjoff Nio
Xerjoff Nio is beachy citrus herbs and fresh air,
super well blended and pleasant to all around you. This is HIGH CLASS and confident. Definitely the most pricey one on the list, so please sample beforehand. Fortunately, they have a reasonably priced sample set on their site.
Valentino Uomo Acqua
Valentino Uomo Acqua has notes of sweet
garden leaves and grapefruit with a subtle iris note. Let this one simmer because it has an amazing drydown and projection. Sophisticated without being cloying, it has a symphony of notes which are blended to near perfection.
Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Fresh
Spicebomb Fresh hits you with lots of pepper
and a stunning musky drydown. This is a head turner and easy to wear on a date or to the office. Spicy, confident, and modern, this one is worth a try! BETWEEN CLASSIC AND MODERN
Christian Dior Fahrenheit Cologne
Fahrenheit Cologne is the fresher version of
Dior’s original Fahrenheit from the 80s. Notes of fresh air, grapefruit, and nutmeg with a subtle petrol background note, it is a really nicely balanced fragrance between fresh and dirty that is sure to draw noses in. This is precisely balanced between old-school and modern.
Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo Casual Life
Uomo Casual Life is the scent to wear when you
want attention, but want to stay classy and professional. It is a modern coffee and violet leaf blend that women can find attractive. You can smell this on the other side of the room without being bowled over by it. You will stand out from a crowd with this one!
Ferrari Radiant Bergamot
Ferrari Radiant Bergamot was chosen because
you enjoy the note of bergamot and I wanted to make sure you got a fragrance with the note front and center. This is a shimmering, uplifting, and pure bergamot that is an excellent everyday scent that you won’t tire of. Perfect for the workplace as well, as it gives off a mature vibe. BARGAIN AND BUDGET GEMS
Roccobarocco Extraordinary for Men
Extraordinary is a cheapie gem that plays with
animalic notes. Vanilla, saffron, and mint are the main notes in this, but don’t expect it to smell like every other fragrance. This one is unique. Cozy, warm, and confident, try this to be daring without breaking the bank.
Michael Jordan Legend
Another cheap gem, Jordan Legend far
outperforms other scents in this price range. This is a great indoor or winter scent. It is a clone of the much more expensive Bond No. 9 New Haarlem. Notes of coffee, vanilla, and anise make this subtle sultry scent a must-try.
Murray & Lanman Florida Water
Launched in 1808, this bargain gem is timeless!
Herbaceous, refreshing, and perfect for a summer day, Florida Water feels like it should be a soft drink. Ridiculously cheap and ridiculously fresh, this is definitely worth a try. Specially curated by Benjamin Harel for Eric
