Tobacco + musk: Three scents for Father’s Day
It’s almost a week away from Father’s Day, do you have a gift all picked out?
I’ve always found dads hard to buy for. There’s the stereotypical gift, something barbecue or tool related, but sometimes you want to go out of the box with your present. Since I’m a beauty blogger, I love giving cosmetic gifts, no matter the occasion or the recipient. A great gift to give dad is definitely something scent related, as not only are colognes relatively expensive (depending on the scent), but they are a great way to always remind dad of you.
I did a similar post for Mother’s Day this year, so I decided to match it with my top three scents for dad for Father’s Day. Scent shopping is always a fun time, so grab your sibling or cousin and go smell that perfect fragrance for dad! Here are my picks…
Calvin Klein Eternity for Men Summer
Since Father’s Day lands right in the beginning of summer, Eternity Summer is the perfect scent for dad to start thinking of the lake. First he’ll be whisked away by juniper, pear, berry basil and watermelon, then make his way to modern amber, sandalwood and solar musk for the masculine base notes.
This one I do find to be a typical cologne scent, but it is quite refreshing and I’m sure your dad will love it!
Jack Black Signature Blue Mark Eau de Parfum
My dad’s favourite men’s skincare line is Jack Black, so it’s a no brainer that my dad is going to get this fragrance this year for Father’s Day (shhh, don’t tell him!).
This perfum, housed in a blue square bottle, contains notes of watermint, cilantro and bergamot with Japanese juniper, ginger essence and patchouli and driftwood to round it out.
I actually didn’t even know they had a fragrance up until this month, so if you know someone who is a fan of the Jack Black line, this one is a must!
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum
This one is the priciest on the list but definitely the most masculine.
The name basically sums it out, but if your dad loves old fashioned’s, cigars or poker, this is the one for him. Notes include saffron, thyme, white leather, suede, olibanum, and musk. It’s definitely a show stopper.
Whether dad loves spending time outdoors at the lake or inside in his study, there’s a fragrance out there that would make a perfect gift for him this Father’s Day.
What are you buying your dad?
