The 10 Best Men's Summer Fragrances for 2022 (To keep it fresh for the next heat wave)

According to Tom Ford, the coolest menswear fashion designer, there are two things that make a man into a gentleman. The first is good manners, and the second is a good cologne. And besides; who wouldn’t want to smell good? 

During summer heat wave while a basic hygiene is a good start – you’ll need an eau de something at your disposal to ensure you always smell fresh. The secret of summer colognes is that the ingredients should come from summer feelings: citrus, plants, flowers with “marine” notes… That’s why we’ve rounded up the best summer fragrances for this season, 2022. 

From the bed to the boat party, here are the best summer fragrances for men. 

Chanel Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum Fragrance 

£102.00 , boots.com 

Some things never get old; like Chanel… Bleu de Chanel is the scent of a gentleman. It’s crisp, refined, and elegant. It doesn’t rely on musk the way some more traditional “gentleman” colognes do and instead uses top notes of citrus and mint to bring a burst of freshness layered with woody green notes.

Nautica Voyage by Nautica

The scent opens with cool green leaf and fresh cut apple. The heart blends drenched mimosa, water lotus, and deep aquatic elements with the ‘sailcloth accord’. The woody drydown is a mix of moss, cedarwood, musk, and amber.

Tom Ford Private Blend Fleur de Portofino 

£147.90 Johnlewis.com 

This perfume opens with a cocktail of citrus essences wrapped in violet leaf. It combines notes of cassia tree and mimosa while enigmatic white acacia gives way to a delectable acacia honey accord. It's Tom Ford's homage to the Italian Riviera.

Dior Eau Sauvage 

£147.90, Boots.com 

Best sexy citrus. Always ranked in ‘’Best fragrances for men’’ lists. Eau Sauvage is a classic warm weather fragrance with Top notes Lemon, Bergamot, Basil, Rosemary, Caraway and Fruity Notes.

Hermès terre d’Hermès 

£72, Boots.com 

Just like Dior, always ranked in ‘’Best fragrances for men’’ lists. Best for all-round versatility. Sophisticated yet simple, timeless yet complex… What’s more, it’s far more affordable than many of the premium scents.

Roja Parfums vetiver parfum pour homme 

£375, Harrods.com 

Best luxury fragrance. Vetiver smells dry, earthy, woody, leathery and smoky. Think of uncut grass on a warm day and you'll have a rough idea of what vetiver smells like. The fragrance is too.

Bottega Veneta Illusione 

£54.00 - £68.00 Lookfantastic.com 

The inclusion of balsam is blended with lemon, bitter orange, white cedarwood, vetiver and tonka bean. It’s chic and discreet – just like the brand itself.

Creed Aventus Cologne 

£240.00, creedfragrances.co.uk 

The cologne edition boasts top notes of ginger, mandarin and pink peppercorn, underlined by patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver, styrax and tonka bean. It’s a classy number, with a nose-tingling opener and a leathery, musky base that helps it last on the skin. 

ByRedo Sundazed 

£127.00, selfridges.com 

Citrusy mandarin, neroli, Californian lemon and Arabian jasmine at the top mixed with a sweet undercurrent of white musk. It smells like hot sand, sun lotion and candy floss all rolled into one in real life. 

Paco Rabanne Invictus Legend 

£54.00, Boots.com 

One of a handful of scents scientifically proven to help you pull — okay, it’s not guaranteed, but it does contain a chemical compound called hedione which stimulates an area of the brain responsible for the release of sex hormones — Invictus has been an olfactory wingman since 2013.

The Spring/Summer 2022 Trends for Men

The longest month of the year has finished and here is the February! As living in the UK, we've already started to dream about warmer weather and less layered looks. Less forecasting, more feelings; here are the style moves heading into 2022 from Brand-Store's men's department. 

1. Cardigan coats! 

Coats that are in fact cardigans – otherwise known as heavy-knit cardigans will be your life saver when it's too warm for a coat and too cold for a T-shirt.

2. Sleeveless... everything 

2022 trends takes us to the big love for sleeveless garments. It has been a huge trend for a while now, so forgive us for starting again. The shift first came to our attention when a whole host of designers including Prada and Marni started showing neat sweater vests, while, more recently, Riccardo Tisci dedicated his whole menswear collection to the power of an exposed bicep. 

For the Spring/Summer 2022 season, the trend has gone into overdrive, with sleeveless knitted numbers shown at Erdem and Paul Smith, smart waistcoat styles worn with nothing else walked at Courrèges and Giorgio Armani, and tailored sleeveless blazers and biker jackets proving quite the thing at Burberry, where the trend remained at its strongest.

3. Colourful garments 

Turns out the world’s most important menswear designers are equally as bored of grey marl, navy towelling and black jersey as we are. Proof could be found in the extraordinary array of colour on display on the runways in London, Milan and Paris.

4. Big shorts! 

We are happy to announce that 2022 will be all about the oversized shorts. (“Five-inch short rule” has finished. Finally)
