I’m a day late with this one due to some unforeseen issues, so Monday will have the #3 and #2 last second gift guide offerings.  Sorry for that guys.

With that said…

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to the Scent Aficionado:

If your idea of a cologne is Axe body spray, it’s time to graduate to something less offensive and more intimate. Prada Infusion D’Homme is a very clean, close-clinging scent that smells very fresh, almost like good, french milled soap with a hint of incense and citrus. And once sprayed on, it dies down to a point where if you hug a woman, or get close enough to make contact, you’ll be smelled gently; not something that announces your presence like some of the more bright, loud colognes out there right now.

The only drawback though, you’d better be a confident man with the ability to be “sophisticated” – holding out your pinky finger while eating a Big Mac does count – to pull this scent off. There’s a bit of a hint of iris in the scent too. So think of it as you’re the nice, sophisticated man with a clean scent… that had a run-in with a fresh cut bouquet of flowers. It’s not overly flowery, but it’s there.

As of the last week or so, this has easily become my favorite scent in ages. It’s replaced Jack Black Blue Mark (Japanese Juniper and Ginger Essence) as my prior favorite. Before that, I was big into Thierry Mugler’s Cologne. So I tend to gravitate towards clean, crisp scents.

And here’s a hint. If you’re buying, get the holiday gift set. You get the 3.4 oz. that normally retails for $74.00 and the splash aftershave (same size) for only $78.00.
