If you are looking to give your man a fragrance gift, but aren’t sure exactly which one to purchase, stick with simple, fresh fragrances. If you venture into something that is too woodsy or too musky, you run the risk that he won’t like it. So stick to basic, clean, fresh scents. Here are a couple fragrances that most men will like.

Polo Sport
Ralph Lauren Polo Sport is a masculine fragrance that is refreshing yet masculine. It features notes of mint, black pepper, nutmeg and sage for a fabulous, sporty combination with universal appeal. Polo Sport is also very affordable!

Boss Pure
This refreshing fragrance is enjoyed by men of all ages. This energized scent features citrus top notes, oriental florals at the heart, and is finished off with woody massoia and treemoss. It’s a scent that manages to be powerful without being overwhelming.

Check out the rest of these fresh fragrances to find the perfect one for the man in your life.

Designer Nicole Miller’s newest scent, Frenzy is sweet floral that isn’t too heavy or flowery.

“I don’t like most perfumes,” said the designer from her Seventh Avenue showroom. “I find them too florally or too old. My clothes don’t age people so I wanted that same kind of fragrance that was young and modern.”

Featuring sorbet and orange top notes, a heart of yellow gardenia, ylang ylang and orange flower, and earthy base of black patchouli, oakmoss, white cedarwood and amber. This scent is a new delight.

According to WWD, “Frenzy will be available in two eau de parfum sizes — a 1.7 oz. for $65 and a 3.4 oz. for $95 — as well as a 6.7-oz. souffl?® shower cream for $35, a 6.7 oz. body lotion for $45 and the same size body cream for $60.”

Nicole Miller is one of the many fashion designers who also crosses over into the fragrance game. From Alexander McQueen’s My Queen to Vera Wang’s fragrance line, fashion gurus have met with varying success in the perfume industry. But you can’t knock them for trying. As successful designers build their empires, they tend to dabble in everything from clothing to housewares.

Music artist Akon is another in the long list of celebrities jumping on the fragrance bandwagon. Akon will have not just one but two scents released in the fall

Akon has reported started a new company – Konvict Cosmetics – which created both of the fragrances. The two scents are geared toward two different demographics. Konvicted (which is also the name of his 2006 album) is a youthful scent targeting the younger population, while Aliaune (which is Akon’s real first name) is aimed at an older crowd.

Similar to the fragrances, in 2007, Akon launched a clothing line — Konvict Clothing, which features urban streetwear, as well as Aliaune — a more high-end fashion line.

Akon’s birth name is Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam.

Other music artists have been in the fragrance game for a while, including Usher, P.Diddy and Mariah Carey, among others. More recently, Nelly, Rihanna and Kanye West have announced upcoming fragrances as well.
