Fir

Bottega Veneta

Daniela Andrier and Antoine Maisondieu took their original Pour Homme formula and amplified its darker registers.

Guerlain

Aqua Allegoria Winter Delice is among the most seasonal-specific entries in Guerlain's Allegoria catalog — always intended as a bottle of December.

Dior

Jules 2016 opens with the assertive green of galbanum cut with dry herbal notes — an opening that declares itself as a masculine structure with roots in a certain era of perfumery.

Azzaro

The opening is cool bergamot brushed against a synthetic green-mint accord — sharp, almost menthol, the kind of cold that reads as bottled rather than picked.

Goutal

Mint and a thin, sour citron lift open the bottle, but the pull is downward — into pine resin and the cool dry air of a fir grove after dusk.

Mexx

An aromatic fougère in the European 1990s mould, repackaged for a younger price tier.
