Fragrance remains one of the most classic and popular gifts for Father’s Day. Fortunately this year there are exciting new scents designed to make dad stand out and be remembered …in a unique and positive way. Most of the fragrances listed below were introduced this year, insuring that the father figure in your life remains modern and in step with the times, regardless of age.

Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Parfum
Let’s start with something timeless – 25 years after the launch of Jean Paul Gaultier’s classic Le Male fragrance, the brand launched the next generation earlier this year: Le Male Parfum.
Launched in 1995, the original Le Male is a symbol of adventure, independence and liberty. The fragrance offered a modern alternative to traditional men’s colognes of the time. Today, 5 bottles of Le Male are sold every minute worldwide.

In a black and gold officer’s jacket, this intense Eau de Parfum takes the helm of the Le Male fragrance line with style, intensity and elegance that leaves a wooded oriental trail in its wake, with the charismatic and powerful signature of a leader.
The keen wind of cardamom in its sails, a freshness of lavender and iris in its middle notes, this intense Eau de Parfum envelopes him with delight in the addiction of its powerful vanilla scents. A contrasted olfactory odyssey that disorientates and seduces the senses.
Le Male Le Parfum, the new Jean Paul Gaultier for him is powerful, reassuring, and masculine.
$103 at Macy’s

BAD BOY Le Parfum
The newest fragrance from Carolina Herrera is here – BAD BOY Le Parfum.
A new iteration of the original scent which launched last year, this fragrance is strong and sensitive, powerful and compassionate, heroic and vulnerable. The BAD BOY man is not easily labelled: he breaks rules only to create his own, and he emphatically expresses and defends his convictions. He’s a rebel with a cause who knows that defiance and provocation are not incompatible with empathy.

As part of this launch, Carolina Herrera fragrance is working with the Victor Cruz Foundation to make a donation towards the organization’s Summer Stem program. The mission of the Victor Cruz Foundation is to promote positive change in the lives of youth today through innovative educational programs. The non-profit youth organization promotes educational and financial literacy programs, college readiness and science, technology, engineering and mathematics (S.T.E.M) initiatives.
BAD BOY Le Parfum delivers a bold and surprising olfactive experience. Energizing top notes of grapefruit and electrifying hemp lead to spicy and aromatic notes of black pepper and geranium. The base reveals a final surprise, with notes of warm, sensual leather and woody vetiver.
It ventures into mysterious, uncharted territories with a bold, matte black interpretation of the BAD BOY lightning bolt—the height of non-conformist sophistication.
BAD BOY Le Parfum Available at Macy’s $108. 3.40 oz

Ferragamo Intense Leather Eau de Parfum
Ferragamo recently launched a new men’s scent, Ferragamo Intense Leather Eau de Parfum.
Created in collaboration with senior perfumer Antoine Maisondieu, Ferragamo Intense Leather is a leathery aromatic salty creation with a deep contemporary twist, playing with contrasting notes of radiance and seduction. The fresh soul of Mandarin intertwines with vivid Pink Peppercorn as the herbaceous magnetism of Clary Sage Absolute captures the senses. A pure feeling of intimate authenticity emerges from a rare heart fusing juicy accents of Annurca Apple Accord with the floral elegance of Lily of the Valley and Orris.Then, bright Musk and the mineral salty facet of Oakmoss spread even more distinction before relinquishing the scene to the Ferragamo Intense Leather Exclusive accord, which has also been featured in the Ferragamo blend as a unique signifier of the House’s balance between artisanal flair and charismatic appeal.
Available at Bloomingdale’s 3.4 $100.

Kristiansand New York
Kristiansand New York is a masculine fragrance that combines two different ambiences— the serene winter atmosphere of the Norwegian town Kristiansand and the urban lifestyle of New York. The perfume was designed by two Norwegians who met in New York. Britt Hovde Ross and actress Elisabth Steen wanted to create a new masculine fragrance, as there are so few out there that they really like.
Perfumer Pierre Constantin Gueros from Drom Fragrances helped them develop the composition. Top notes are Nutmeg, Pepper, Mandarin Orange, Fig and Plum; middle notes are Lavender, Cinnamon, Virginia Cedar, Clary Sage and Vetiver; base notes are Musk, Amber, Tonka Bean and oak moss.
New York is embodied with sophisticated powdery notes, musk and amber, while Kristiansand—Britt’s hometown—is described with wood, spice and green flavors.The composition opens with crisp aromas of plum and fig, exotic spices (black pepper and nutmeg) and green mandarine. Silver lavender and clary sage are in the heart, along with woody notes of cedar and vetiver, as well as a dash of cinnamon. The fragrance finishes with a warm base of amber, musk, tonka bean and oak moss.
It is available as 50 ml and 100 ml Eau de Parfum. $65.
