Must-have perfumes for him and her

Munira Fidai lists some enthralling fragrances for him and her

For Women
Tommy Girl (1998) A fruity and feisty smell, Tommy Girl is a long lasting and heady scent with top notes of black currant, camellia, mandarin orange and apple tree blossom. An outdoorsy smell that lends you a personality of the bouncy girl next door, Tommy Girl is a well-known and equally well loved bottle of perfume. This may be an old fragrance but one that has the potential to be your signature smell all day, every day. The brand is readily available in Almas Super Shop at Gulshan-1 and Priyo Super Shop at Gulshan-2.

Mountain Water- Swiss Army (2008) Doing justice to its name, Mountain water (For Her) is a fresh, piney smell that reminds you of the Alps. It comes in a classy, crystal blue spritz bottle and lingers long after your soiree is over. You may wish to use it as an evening smell to hit just the right notes with any sort of company. Although it consists of a mix of bergamot and neroli, it gives off a mild, aquatic smell you just can’t get enough of! Available at any outlet of Perfume World, Dhaka.

CK One Gold- Calvin Klein (2016) A seasonal, youthful perfume, the CK One Gold has a smell to suit both genders. It comes in an endearing bottle, dipped in gold, giving off vibes of luxury and youth. With a distinctly woody character, the smell is achieved by combining fig with bergamot and sage. Albeit unusual, the combination manages to create a fragrance that is both bold and headstrong- just like its mantra: Everything you touch is gold. Available at Banglashoppers at Bnanai and Jamuna Future Park.

For Men
Brut Revolution- Brut (2006) (2006)– Fresh, aquatic and woody, Brut Revolution is a soft smell for those who like to keep their style subtle. It gives off wonderful whiffs of pear, black pepper, patchouli, musk and moss. While it may well be sort of an unsung hero in a shelf full of bigger and more popular brands, this underrated fragrance is a genre all on its own. Earthy and light, this small bottle of joy is sexy, without being loud. Available at Gulshan 1 DCC.

Boss- The Scent- Hugo Boss: (2015) One word to describe this smell: seductive. The fragrance is slow on the full build up and begs to be remembered long after. A pleasure for the nostrils, the perfume boasts top notes of ginger and bottom notes of pure, male leather. A sensual concoction that is all effortless confidence, this perfume is a must have for those who like it classy. Available at Almas Super Shop at Gulshan-1 and any outlet of Perfume World.

Hugo Extreme- Hugo Boss (2016) A very intense and inherently masculine scent, the Hugo extreme hits all the notes that are essentially male. With a singularly commanding top note of green apple and middle notes of lavender, sage and geranium, the smell is clean, simple and unparalleled. If your style is aggressive and powerful, this is your smell. Available at any outlet of Perfume World, Dhaka.
