Evening Fragrances for Men

Evening Fragrances

An evening fragrance is a byword for something that is formal, and perhaps more potent than the usual daytime cologne. Special occasions, date night, something to be noticed in - these are the fragrances that put themselves forward. Time for some extravagance. These are your ambers, leathers, dry woods - all mere suggestions, of course. Oud, patchouli, leather, labdanum, fetching spices - all form part of this complex. 

However you like your evenings to smell, our range consists of a considered range of high-quality niche and independent perfumery, which are not only impactful, but interesting.

How Much Fragrance Should I Apply?

How much fragrance you apply depends on the occasion; context matters. Evenings spent at restaurants, wine tastings, or the like might call for a less intrusive fragrance, while jazz bars, night clubs, and discotheques may well be better served with a punchy fragrance. The concentration on the label of a perfume (eau de toilette, extrait de parfum, etc…) are suggestions at best. We recommend starting with a conservative amount of perfume, and adjusting accordingly.

What Makes a Fragrance More Suitable for Evening Wear?

Evening fragrances are typically richer, deeper, and more intense. They often contain warm, sensual, and bold notes such as spices, woods, ambers, and gourmands, which create a lingering impression in low-light or intimate settings. These scents are more daring and memorable compared to lighter daytime fragrances.

What Type of Fragrance Should I Wear for Formal Evening Events?

Formal evening events typically call for sophisticated and elegant scents. Opt for fragrances that feel luxurious. Chypres, ambers, animalic, and oud-based perfumes are popular choices for adding a refined yet impactful touch. Now's the time to wear your precious extrait concentrations.

Aphrodisiac Perfumes? Pheromones? 

No such thing. The handsomest perfume is the one you feel most confident in.   

What Do You Recommend?

You’re not getting more luxurious than Jubilation 40 from Amouage, a stunning combination of honey, blackberry, and spices that passes over a luxurious body of resin, incense, and oud. For similar grandeur, MAAI from Bogue Profumo is a symphony of scent, an elegant floral chypre of the highest order. You might seek something boozy from Frapin, or an exquisite animalic: L’Animal from BTSO blends sultry notes with a real growl.
