Men’s fragrance ideas for Valentine’s Day

Bottega Veneta
With a mix of modern and classic influences, Bottega Veneta's debut men's scent, which arrived in the fall, mixes Andalusian labdanum (a fragrant resin obtained from cistus shrubs) with essential essences of Calabrian bergamot, Siberian pine, and Balkan juniper. At the heart of the fragrance is the intense marriage of allspice and Mediterranean clary sage. Prices are €65 (about RM297) for a 50ml spray in Europe, and US$80 (about RM267) for 50ml in the US.
Armani
Armani has released a box set of the classic men's Acqua di Gio fragrance, which mixes salty sea water notes, mandarin, bergamot, oakmoss, patchouli, coriander and jasmine. The box comes with an eau de toilette spray, an aftershave balm and a shower gel and is priced at €59 (around US$81).
