What grooming means to me… In a Jeremy Maguire-esque moment, I felt compelled to get these thoughts written down. Small moments happen throughout life, you begin to find your own purpose in the world and make sense of what’s important to you. Grooming has played its part in forming who and where I am today.… Continue reading My Thoughts on Grooming

In the Nick of time
I finally get to catch up with my friend Nick @perfumedangle We catch up on what we’ve been wearing, and hear about Nick’s experiences of tracking down discontinued gems, and generally meander all things fragrance related.
Santal Volcanique by Maison Crivelli
Have you ever visited a volcano? I had the opportunity on the Greek island of Nisyros, a beautiful cruise away from Kos. If the volcano wasn’t fascinating enough, an interesting fact about Nisyros is that the local delicacy is tomato ice cream, and I can assure you, it’s delicious! The volcano is dormant, which allows… Continue reading Santal Volcanique by Maison Crivelli
The Scented Gent Podcast – Locked Down
An update on how I’m coping during the lockdown, and the fragrances I’m planning on sharing with you all soon.
K by Dolce & Gabbana
K is the latest masculine fragrance release from Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabanna. It’s following previous popular releases, such as The One, Light Blue and the Pour Homme line, K certainly has a lot to live up to. K has handsome bottle styling with sharp lines, whilst the kitsch crown cap may raise eyebrows.… Continue reading K by Dolce & Gabbana

Tonya Kidd-Beggs is the founder and creative director of Eliza Grace. Her ambition was to create a line of fragrances that tell a story, influenced heavily from her own childhood. Every fragrance has a story to tell, and every nose an individual interpretation, so let’s dive into the scent. The opening is a beautiful combination… Continue reading Stories No. 02 by Eliza Grace
Aventus Cologne by Creed
We all know and love Aventus, some of us too much, and others begrudgingly. It’s the behemoth of niche fragrances that shows no sign of being toppled from as the peoples favourite. The performance of Aventus is incredible on my skin, which is a blessing and a curse. Sometimes we want a fragrance to project… Continue reading Aventus Cologne by Creed

Tobacco Night by Curionoir
I’m always drawn to fragrances that resemble the smell of a fine cigar, so how about a smoked pipe. Tobacco smoke is demonised in modern culture, but the comforting scent remains ever popular in fragrance, and particularly to my nose. Curionoir was founded in New Zealand by Tiffany Jeans. Tiffany combined personal experience along with… Continue reading Tobacco Night by Curionoir
