Autumn 2008 Scent-sational!

S

Shortlist's Autumn 2008 fragrance pick.

Fashion is not just about clothing..it's about everything that you put on your body..or hold on to you (ehem...exclude your spouse or pet!). That's including perfume. Well, new season, new smell. Not the smell of the falling leaves or steamy road due to raining (eventhough I do like the smell of freshly cut grass), but the fresh and 'muskiness' of the new masculinity. Autumn scent give a bit 'deeper' blend compared to summer fragrance. A bit of seductive flair, if you may. Think wild vanilla and bergamot instead of citrusy feel.

In the previous issue of Shortlist, autumn 2008 saw a refined fragrance, not just about the blend, but the design of the bottle as well. More symmetrical, masculine and luxury. Now a fragrance is not just a fragrance; it's also a collectors' item!

My pick: Diamond for Men by Gorgio Armani, Paco Rabanne's One Million and Calvin Klein's Intense Euphoria.

(P/S: Didn't I just review PR's One Million and Kenzo Power in my last blog entry?)

Shortlist's Autumn 2007 finest scents.
