Explorer earned its reputation fast: a woody-aromatic in the same neighbourhood as far pricier niche scents, with bergamot and pink pepper up top, Haitian vetiver through the middle and a smooth patchouli-ambroxan base.It's versatile to a fault — fresh enough for summer days, enough...

When it launched in 1994, L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme made everything else smell heavy. Built around yuzu — the sharp Japanese citrus — with a watery spice of nutmeg and water lily, it dries to a quiet vetiver-sandalwood base with the faintest tobacco warmth.Thirty...

The original L'Eau d'Issey was designed to smell like water — as close as perfume gets to it, anyway. A dewy lotus-and-freesia opening with a hint of melon, a clean white-floral heart of lily and peony, and a soft woody-musk finish.It's minimalism in a...

Jean-Claude Ellena's Terre d'Hermès is that rare thing: a designer fragrance perfumers themselves rate. Orange and grapefruit on top, a peculiar flinty-pepper middle — like warm stones after rain — and a vetiver-cedar base that smells like the earth the name promises.It's grown-up without...

Olympea's trick is salt. Paco Rabanne took a vanilla scent and ran a salty, mineral edge through it — alongside green mandarin and ginger lily — so it ends up sweet without being sugary. Salted caramel in perfume form, more or less.It's the sister...

The trophy-shaped bottle isn't subtle and neither is the idea: Invictus is the locker-room-to-night-out scent, a collision of grapefruit and sea breeze over bay leaf and a sweet ambergris-guaiac base.It's fresh but warm, sporty but date-appropriate — the reason it's been in the UK...

The red apple bottle has been tempting people since 2006, and Nina remains one of the easiest "first proper perfume" recommendations there is. It opens with zesty lime and lemon — almost caipirinha-like — then turns into the toffee-apple-and-praline sweetness it's famous for, softened...

The gold-bar bottle tells you everything about its ambitions. 1 Million opens bright with grapefruit and blood mandarin, runs through a spicy cinnamon-rose heart, then lands on the leather-and-amber base that made it one of the best-selling men's fragrances of the last twenty years.It's...

The apple-shaped bottle is half the fun, but the juice holds up too. Be Delicious is built around crisp green apple, cucumber and grapefruit — one of those rare fruity perfumes that smells fresh rather than sugary — with a clean floral middle and...

The stiletto-shaped bottle gives it away — Good Girl isn't trying to be subtle. Carolina Herrera built this one on contrast: bright almond and a flicker of coffee at the opening, a proper white-floral heart of tuberose and jasmine sambac, then it all settles...

Eros is the scent of every good night out you half-remember. Mint and green apple hit first — icy, sweet, instantly recognisable — then it settles into the tonka-vanilla-ambroxan base that's launched a thousand compliments since 2012.This is not a subtle fragrance and isn't...

Sì opens on blackcurrant nectar — dark, juicy, slightly tart — and that one note carries the whole character of it: a modern chypre with a soft rose heart and a vanilla-patchouli base that reads expensive rather than sweet.It's become the gift fragrance in...

This is Dolce & Gabbana's red-boxed classic: a proper aldehydic floral in an era that mostly stopped making them. Raspberry and neroli give it a bright start, jasmine and orange blossom fill out the heart, and it dries down to a cosy vanilla-and-marshmallow warmth.It...
