Ted Lapidus Cool Night EDP, 100ml
At first spray, you’ll smell fresh fruity notes like pineapple and grapefruit. But as it dries, oakmoss and musk join the mix for a rich base that’ll give you an aura of intrigue. It strikes the perfect balance between powerful and playful—i.e., the perfect starter cologne with year-long mileage.
Jaguar Classic Gold EDT, 100ml
From the wheelhouse of one of the world’s top luxury vehicle manufacturers, this scent is like a fine tuned V8 in a bottle. The scent sparks the ignition with crisp notes of apple, lime and bergamot before feathering the accelerator towards a woody, orange-blossom-tinged surge. All this against an elegant backdrop of vanilla, musk and patchouli.
Stronger

It’s a supercharged cologne that strikes a delicate balance—just like Mercedes’ stable of coveted rides.
Bentley For Men Azure EDP, 100ml
An immediate burst of freshness will transport you oceanside; likely behind the wheel and snaking along a coastal stretch of tarmac.

Underpinning this olfactory outer shell is a base of cashmere wood, tonka bean and orcanox molecule – a natural compound extracted from clary sage.
