James Bronnley Original Eau de Toilette

Created by Mr Bronnley himself way back in 1884, James Bronnley Original Eau De Toilette has certainly stood the test of time by continuing to be an iconic men’s scent in the world of British perfumery. The earthy and slightly citrus cologne has top notes of Italian lemon and neroli, with herbal, mossy heart and base notes of amber, cedar and vetiver, which blended together, create this long-lasting warm and earthy cologne.

Endymion Concentre 100ml

Penhaligon’s Endymion Concentré

Penhaligon’s Endymion Concentré
Penhaligon’s 2003 semi-oriental fragrance took inspiration from the myth of Endymion, the son of Zeus – a youth so handsome that the Goddess of the Moon kept him in an everlasting sleep so that only she could gaze upon his beauty. Newly launched Endymion Concentré sees the addition of leather and suede notes to complement and enhance the citrus and spice notes of the original fragrance, creating more intensity and contrast. Boxed and bottled in striking midnight blue and silver, this is a scent to flatter the most handsome of fathers.

Endymion Concentré  £128 (100ml) is available from Penhaligon’s boutiques and from the Penhaligon’s website.

NEW Acqua di Parma Colonia Sandalo

Colonia Sandalo Acqua di Parma Eau de Cologne Concentrée

 

Acqua di Parma Colonia Sandalo Eau de Cologne Concentrée
Colonia Sandalo is the Eau de Cologne Concentrée exclusively created for Harrods by Acqua di Parma. Sandalwood is a dramatic note that some can find overwhelming, making it difficult to gift. Colonia Sandalo however, tempers the intensity of the sandalwood with the characteristic citrus freshness of the Colonia line. The result is a fragrance that has depth and rigour without being forceful. Packaged in shades of tobacco and bronze, Sandale Eau de Cologne Concentrée is a wonderful gift, both for those who have yet to discover Acqua di Parma, and those who collect their memorable fragrances.

Acqua di Parma Colonia Sandalo Eau de Cologne Concentrée £176 (100ml)  is available exclusively in store and online at Harrods

 

Byredo

Byredo Toile Textile fragrance

 

Byredo Toile Textile fragrance
Toile from Byredo is the hip Swedish perfume company’s novel and stylish take on fabric fragrances. The Toile Textile perfume comes in an oh-so-elegant (what else? it’s Byredo) opaque white bottle, and is intended to be sprayed on the textiles that clothe and surround us day by day and to elevate them from the quotidien.
Toile is composed of bergamot, fresh aldehydes at its top; Lily of the Valley and violet silk at its heart with a base rooted in amber and cotton musks, and smells fresh, invigorating with a Mediterranean warmth as well. An ideal gift, perhaps, for the frequent flyer father for him to spritz on his shirts and suits while travelling.

by Caroline Simpson

Byredo Toile Textile fragrance £42 (75ml) is available from Byredo retailers around the world and from Byredo.
