Valentine's Day Perfumes For Him

1. Issey Miyake Wood & Wood Intense EDP

Not until a few hours passes does the fruity fragrance give way to that whimsical, woody scent that you’ll absolutely love on your man. From the very first spray, this Issey Miyake Wood & Wood Intense cologne for men is bound to make a lasting impression on him (and you).

With an opening that is as sharp as it is bold, this men’s cologne creates a pleasantly potent aroma from the very first spray. The lemon, honey, and patchouli notes gracefully give way to a musky, leather aroma that’s so deeply reminiscent of the masculine fragrances of the 70s and into the 80s.

The Givenchy Gentleman Original EDT men’s cologne is suitable for all seasons, though I know a few people will insist it’s magic is best used during the winter and autumn seasons. This makes it a strong contender for best perfume gifts to get your Valentine, as the season starts to change from summer to autumn.
