For the everyman
If your dad is someone you’re used to describing as a man’s man or one of the boys, then honestly, you should go with your gut. However, if your gut proves terrible at finding a good scent or brand, the YSL scent family is actually incredibly wearable for all sorts of gentlemen. Yves Saint Laurent L’Homme ($115) is a genuinely uplifting scent that I would recommend to anyone any day, except it’s been around for awhile. Lest it appear too familiar, take a chance on La Nuit De L’Homme L’Intense ($99), which unexpectedly pairs tonka beans and iris notes for a woodsy but not too earthy scent that transitions extremely well as it wears. A clean vanilla top note melts away just as it gets too sweet and a clever insertion of patchouli ensures that the mixture doesn’t get too dull, making this a scent bound to liven up even the humblest everyman.
