Since getting into the perfume business at the turn of the century Paul Smith has put his name to over 30 fragrances for both men and women, often created with the help of some of the sharpest noses in the business. Now the man is back with a new collaborator - magnificently hirsute model and perfumier Barnabe Fillion, who has previously featured in Smith's ad campaigns.
This scent has been created by drawing on the designer's experiences while travelling, not just in the bottle (which is supposedly a mash-up of a water flask and a camera), but also in the essences spliced up inside: cardamom and pink pepper from Indian spice markets, myhrr from Moroccan souks and green tea from Japan, all held together with woody undertones of cedar and Tolu balsam. Fresh, masculine and warm, but not heavy, all in all it's the kind of easy-to-wear scent that is going to fit whatever dress code the day demands.
£39 for 40ml. paulsmith.com
