If you are looking for a nice fragrance to give the man in your life for a Christmas gift, consider Paul Smith London for men.

London for men is a gourmand based men’s fragrance, originally launched in 2004. It is a perfect blend of green mandarin, violet flowers, shots of frosted mint, jasmine, lavender, vintage brandy accord, vetyver, Australian sandalwood, tonka beans, and amber.

Paul Smith isn’t new to the men’s fragrance department. His previous two scents, Paul Smith Original (2000) and Paul Smith Extreme (2002) were both resounding successes. It is no wonder then that his third incursion has proven to be a very good proponent of its genre. In spite of its more masculine traits, London for men is perfectly suitable for women. In fact, it would be fair to say it has a definite unisex quality about it.

London for men’s packaging is stylish and practical. It comes with a cylindrical outer box that holds a glass atomizer in the shape of a beaker, a very fashionable beaker that is. Suffice to say the packaging isn’t really impressive, but when a fragrance is this well prepared, the package in which it comes doesn’t really matter now, does it?

I think it would be fair to categorize Paul Smith’s London for men among the great gourmand fragrances of the past couple of years, a must-try for the enthusiasts of stronger gourmands. Plus given its low price, must buy might be construed as an understatement.
