The day is almost here: FATHER’S DAY! A time to celebrate that man who gave you something most valuable… his genes…or a man who, even though you don’t carry his blood, was always there for you. Your mentor, teacher, friend… that man who provided support when you needed it most. Finding the perfect gift is always a challenge. Fortunately here we bring you several options that will show your appreciation. And remember, a card with heartfelt sentiment will always complement any gift – and sometimes carry more value than anything material ever could.

FRAGRANCE

We all know that Dads are quite possibly the hardest people to shop for and although gifting cologne on Father’s Day is tried and true, chances are you’ve probably overlooked important factors such as Dad’s body chemistry, personality and lifestyle while spritzing through the latest men’s scents.

To help you find the perfect cologne for Dad, we’ve rounded up some colognes from FragranceNet.com to match every personality below.

· The Dapper Dad: Now Dad can smell as good as he looks. Tom Ford Noir ($128.99) is an obvious choice for the dad who stays sharply dressed and wants his signature scent to match. He’ll appreciate how Tom Ford’s blend of bergamot, violet flower, leather, and black pepper accents his suit and tie.

· The Outdoorsy Dad: Ideal for the Dad who is an aspiring Paul Bunyan, Dior Homme ($87.99) features a great blend of deep woody smells with a slight, fresh sweetness Citrusy Bergamot, sensual grapefruit blossom and cotton-fresh white musks infuse to create a radiant, contemporary signature.

· The Modern Dad: Designed for a Dad who is sophisticated and refined, Valentino Uomo ($109.99) opens with bergamot and myrtle, succeeded in the heart by roasted coffee combined with gianduja cream, on a rich base created of cedar and precious leather.

· The Beach Dad: If the beach house is Dad’s most prized possession, Acqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani ($71.99) is the cologne for him. The blend of sea notes, lime, lemon, and orange shine through from the very first spray till the end. It is at the base where the white musk develops, making for the perfect daytime cologne.

· The Exec Dad: If your Dad’s office is his second home, Prada Luna Rossa Extreme ($94.99) is the ideal scent for him. This masculine fragrance plays up his serious side while offering a twist of spicy intrigue. The earthy warmth of black pepper contrasts with sharp and citrusy bergamot and is softened by the clean scent of lavender. The complex blend is cradled by the leathery fragrance of labdanum with a highlight of fresh juniper berries.

· The Sporty Dad: For the Dad who is inspired by sporting and the thrill of competition, Paco Rabanne Invictus ($82.99) is the fragrance of a champion. This aquatic, woody fragrance blends the excitement of sport with dreamlike elements that celebrate victory and power.

· The Preppy Dad: If your Dad is a fan of golf and tennis then look no further than Lacoste Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Blanc Edition ($44.99). Classy and outgoing, this cologne features a fresh blend of grapefruit, rosemary, Cedarwood and Ylang Ylang.

JOHN VARVATOS ARTISAN
With summertime upon us John Varvatos ARTISAN is filled with the invigorating, untouched smell of nature. Fresh and intriguing, it conveys the freedom of a long summer weekend; the experience of the great outdoors in its purest, simplest form.
ARTISAN represents a merging of the classical citrus and herbal tonalities used in a traditional Eau de Cologne. The fragrance delivers a new riff on this classic theme, reinventing that familiar “splash” feeling by blending state-of-the-art, abstract perfumery notes for a refreshingly modern twist.
