Gentlemen, we spend so much time deciding on our summer wardrobe but it's time we paid attention to the fragrances to match. From the British seaside break to a tropical getaway, there’s a fragrance for every occasion and an occasion for every fragrance. Summers arrived and it's time to inject some life into your fragrance collection. Here at MenswearStyle we're looking forward to the long summer nights and lazy days by the pool. During the summer months you want fragrances that are light, cooling and refreshing. When the temperature rises and the weather calls for a linen shirt, you want your men's aftershave to match, so look to notes such as citruses and white florals to scent your season. We've put together our favourite picks of summer fragrances with our friends at Notino, who have a huge array of brands in stock.

Bleu de Chanel by Chanel 

The Swiss army knife of fragrances is a must have in any collection. For the summer months, go for the EDT concentration. Notes of grapefruit, lemon and mint are bright, refreshing and almost effervescent as it jumps off the skin. Incense and ginger add depth and intrigue which gives this fragrance it's versatility.

Acqua di Gio by Giorgio Armani  

A long time best seller for a reason, the fragrance that kept a generation smelling fantastic is still going strong. Sea notes combined with the citrus combination of lime, lemon and bergamot makes this one perfect for a day at the beach. White musk and cedar create a smooth base that’ll last the whole day.

Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford 

After a fragrance to add a touch of elegance to a day by the pool? Neroli Portifino is a luxurious take on a classic cologne style fragrance, with notes of orange blossom, bergamot, neroli and mandarin orange offering a fresh and invigorating scent, confined inside the elegant and handsome teal bottle.

Gucci Guilty Cologne by Gucci 

Gucci have introduced the latest release in the guilty line in 2019. An aromatic floral fragrance which gives centre stage to the incredible combination of cypress and juniper berries. Planning an escape to Tuscany, remember to pack Gucci Guilty Cologne.

L’Eau d’issey pour Homme Shade of Lagoon  

The latest flanker of the popular L’Eau d’issey line, Shade of Lagoon puts you beside a turquoise lagoon, as a marine breeze sweeps in. Sea notes, cedar and bergamot will be the scent of your summer with the Shade of Lagoon, perfect for a day on the beach.

Colonia Essenza by Acqua di Parma 

Essenza di Colonia was released in 2010, and a flanker of the original Colonia which was released in 1916. Dominant notes of neroli, bergamot, grapefruit, jasmine and petigrain come together to create a fragrance that’s perfect for the sophisticated gentlemen amongst you.

Virgin Island Water by Creed 

Quite possibly the ultimate fragrance for a tropical getaway. With dominant notes of coconut, lime, white rum, sugar cane and white bergamot. Imagine your favourite smelling suntan lotion met your favourite cocktail, that's exactly how Virgin Island Water smells. It’s edible, it’s delicious, and worthy of putting an umbrella in.
