FRAGRANCES

Azzaro Chrome Intense
In 1996, Loris Azzaro created Chrome, a fragrance of crisp freshness and azure skies, within a blue and silver universe. Dedicated to genuine moments of closeness and joie de vivre, Chrome celebrates the values of multi-generational by paying tribute to the unfailing bond between a father and his son.
Today, Chrome evolves into Chrome INTENSE, a new version which revisits the fragrance’s emblematic freshness to intensify and magnify it. In this new rendition, the metallic freshness of original Chrome reveals it’s darker side and becomes more vibrant, textured and woody, resulting in a long-lasting trail and a “Fresh Spicy Woody” scent. 100 ml $85.00

Available at Macy*s and other fine department store nationwide

EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 NOIR
EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 Noir is a woody, aromatic fragrance inspired by the intensity of warm evenings and the timeless elegance of the LACOSTE L.12.12 polo shirt – an iconic garment created by tennis legend René Lacoste back in 1933.
Evocative and enticing, EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 Noir is a contemporary take on a classic aromatic fougère – it is both fresh and aromatic whilst deep, intense and warm, inhabiting an olfactory space not unlike dusk, where elements of day and night mingle to create a truly unique moment.
Perfectly suited to the mood of the new fragrance, its Intensity Enhancer Technology ensures that the whole fragrance character is released more intensely over a longer period of time. With the addition of EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 Noir, the fragrance collection mirrors the L.12.12 polo shirt great colors.

The Collection
Launched in 2011, the EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 collection of male fragrances is inspired by one of the world’s most iconic pieces of clothing – the LACOSTE L.12.12 polo shirt.

The essence of the polo shirt transformed into a fragrance, the original collection launched with three unique scents: the pure, clean EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 Blanc (White) edition, the powerful, aquatic EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 Bleu (Blue) one and the relaxed and sparkling EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 Vert (Green) edition. In 2012 this dynamic fragrance wardrobe grew with the addition of the aromatic and energetic EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 Rouge (Red).

And now the LACOSTE man can make a seamless transition from the pure, crisp tenacity of EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 Blanc to the warm, dark intensity of EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 Noir in a moment. They are the perfect partners to accompany the LACOSTE man from an effortlessly stylish day to an equally stylish evening.

EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 Noir EDT 100mL/$72
Available at Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, and LACOSTE stores and e-stores.

MUGLER Les Exceptions CUIR IMPERTINENT (“Impertinent Leather”)
The newest addition to the Les Exceptions unisex haute perfumery collection… A classic theme of perfumery, recalling Russian leathers and Siberian cavalcades – the leather note is now reproduced using beech wood. The impertinence of leather with aromatic freshness, CUIR IMPERTINENT is the result of an olfactory collision, the shock of contrasts between the darkness of tanned leather and an unexpected explosion of color from star anise.

Eau de Parfum 80 ml refillable spray, $225 (www.mugler.com)

John Varvatos Dark Rebel
Dark Rebel, the newest addition to the John Varvatos fragrance portfolio, channels the primal, visceral spirit that stirs in all of us, and awakens our senses to all we cannot see.  From darkness, comes light with the new John Varvatos Dark Rebel fragrance.

Inspired by risk-taking, a rebellious attitude and classic bad boy icons, Dark Rebel is distinct and pure edge: tough, intoxicating, and totally uninhibited.
Dark Rebel surprises with its aroma: a mixture of familiar woodsy scents and unexpected sharpness and the unparalleled craftsmanship indicative of the John Varvatos brand. The fragrance contains hints of Jamaican Rum, black leather, and the exotic dragon skull flower accord, which all blend together to give the fragrance its wild edge. Nutmeg essence provides a note of sweetness, while black pepper gives it some bite. This juxtaposition works well to encapsulate the fragrance’s sense of moody restlessness.

“Dark Rebel is the bad boy of our fragrance collection, and it’s the perfect compliment for the inner darkness within each of us,” said John Varvatos. “Its DNA exudes a timeless style and fearless attitude.  The rich, masculine scent is alluring in its deviation; tough, rebellious, and unlike any fragrance you’ve experienced before. I like to think of Dark Rebel as the perfect rock song; it pulls you in with what you know, and then takes you to a whole new level.”

John Varvatos Dark Rebel, Eau de Toilette (4.2 fl. oz. 125ml) $86, (1.4 fl. oz. 75ml) $66)
