February 2016 for Men: Cast of Characters

February 01, 2016

Fragrances are often inspired by characters, real or imagined. And when we wear them, we get the chance to try on a different identity for a while.

In this collection, we have the scent of an aristocrat with a rather sensational backstory that encompasses Paris, WWII, JFK, and deep mystery. We have a scent inspired by the perfumer’s father—“always a gentleman.” We end with the scent of sensual pleasure inspired by one of history’s most controversial figures.

Which one do you want to be today? Sign up for Olfactif for Men to see.
