It’s springtime, and your clock isn’t the only thing that should be set forward — switch up your cologne with these new, lighter scents that’ll get your wheels in motion and get your mojo in gear:
If you’re a SURF No-Show Brief in White, try Biotherm Homme Force
WHY: This is the first foray into fragrance from the Euro skincare line and the bulletshaped eau de toilette’s top notes of citrus target summertime, while a secondary hit of absinthe is a point blank shot to the heart.
If you’re a SURF Sport Brief in Smoke, try Bond No.9 High Line
WHY: Inspired by the lush Manhattan park set above a bustling streetscape, High Line is like a gentle respite in your otherwise high-voltage life. Floral bergamot and fresh rhubarb lift your spirits while oak keeps your feet on the ground.
If you’re a SURF No-Show Trunk in Black, try Hotel Costes No.2
WHY: Just because you enjoy a classic style doesn’t mean you’re against secret hotel room trysts. This fragrance comes from the famed Parisian Hotel Costes, and just like their popular chill-out CDs, this scent initiates foreplay with a hint of cinnamon then turns torrid with orange blossom. (“Do Not Disturb” sign not included.)
If you’re a SURF No-Show Brief in Hibiscus, try Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine
WHY: Like your choice of briefs, you are bold and unafraid of being unique. Blood oranges are the first note to hit, but the lingering jasmine is what will be remembered.
