The Ultimate Men’s Perfume Gift Guide: Top Luxury Scents for 2024

16 Jul 2024
  • What makes Neroli 36 unforgettable?
  • Why is Baccarat Rouge 540 so unique?
  • How did Bibliothèque transition from candle to fragrance?
  • What makes Seda an ode to the Formosa forest?
  • How does Marfa capture the essence of its namesake Texan city?

Nailing the right fragrance can be a minefield. There are brands in fashion, on-trend scents, and, of course, the teenage nightmare you can never seem to escape: peer pressure. The most important thing, though, is that you choose what’s right for you (or indeed, them, if you’re gifting) and not be forced into something that might just cost you that next big date. Plus, Christmas is around the corner, and now is the time to up your scent game for the new year – or treat the man in your life to a new luxury perfume. From the dreamy scents of the Italian shore to the whimsical scents of London Town and the dandy streets of Paris, the Elite Traveler edit of this year’s most delicious men’s luxury perfumes will keep you smelling your finest the world over.

Le Labo, Neroli 36

Le Labo, Neroli 36

Neroli is one of those perfumes you are unlikely to forget. Why? Its smell is intoxicating in a very good, wellness-first kind of way. Warm and zesty, Neroli 36 preaches an uplifting kind of vibe that screams European holiday under the sun. Orange blossom essence takes center stage, laid over a warm and sensual base of vanilla and musk, which is complemented by a floral jolt of jasmine and rose. In fact, the stuff smells so good, one could almost drink it. Price: $285, lelabofragrances.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum

Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum

This fragrance is on the candy shop scale of sweetness for a floral perfume. Boasting a unique mix of saffron, amberwood, and cedar, the unisex fragrance is not for everyone. Nonetheless, its high condensed olfactory signature zest means it’s a winner for those who like their florals topping the sweet floral scale. Born from an encounter between Maison Francis Kurkdjian and Baccarat to celebrate the crystal manufacturer’s 250th birthday, think of a bottle comprised of breezy jasmine facets, radiant saffron, boosting ambergris mineral notes, freshly-cut cedar, and woody floral whispers. Advice: one push of the nozzle is enough to last hours. Price: $285, fortnumandmason.

Byredo, Bibliothèque

Byredo, Bibliothèque

Introducing Bibliothèque eau de parfum, a candle-turned-fragrance that made its debut in a bottle thanks to everyone’s favorite foe: peer-pressured public demand. Flawlessly mimicking the candle’s rich infusion, a fruity top of peach and plum is enveloped by a heady floral heart. Balanced by a classic, sophisticated base of patchouli, leather, and vanilla, this addictive fragrance (we cannot quite stress just how addictive it is) tells the story of a flower-filled library of ancient novels and treasured poems scribed by literary geniuses in times gone by. Jargon aside, it’s a heavenly scent that will never, ever be brushed off your side of the vanity. Price: $210, libertylondon.

Fueguia 1833, Seda

Fueguia 1833, Seda

Founded just a smidge over a decade ago, Fueguia 1833, the brainchild of Buenos Aires local Julian Bedel, is Argentina summed up in a snazzy glass bottle. The heart of the brand lies in Patagonia, within its virgin territories dominated by sublime nature, along with Bedel’s fierce commitment to sustainable fragrance production. Seda, an ode to the Taiwanese Formosa forest, asks you to do one thing: close your eyes and inhale the lively scent of Fueguia 1833’s very own jungle. Formulated using only natural ingredients, the powerful scent packs a punch, with jasmine sambac, jasmine Grandiflora, and hints of rich amber roots that in these travel-restricted times, transport you to your very own tropical paradise. Price: $275, fueguia.

Memo Paris, Marfa Eau de Parfum

Memo Paris, Marfa Eau de Parfum

It’s a word often over-used in the perfume world, but French brand Memo Paris really is all about the journey. Design duo and married couple Clara and John Molloy founded the fragrance brand back in 2007 and since then have explored the world of perfume to produce a collection of scents based on all the places they have visited and loved. Marfa pays homage to its namesake Texan city, famous for its desert and hypnotic sky. Tuberose absolute is the star in this floral scent, complemented by an almost oud-y combo of white musk and delicious orange blossom. Be warned, this men’s perfume comes with a barrage of compliments. Price: $285, memoparis.com
