If you are looking for a new fragrance for yourself or as a gift for someone special it can be difficult to decide on what’s best, to help we have put together a list showing the recent best-selling men’s fragrances. 

As a high street perfumery that was established over 20 years ago we often get asked ‘what is the most popular men’s aftershave at the moment?’. With our experience and vast range we spend a lot of consultation time with customers in-store helping them to find their ‘new’ favourite fragrance, whether they are looking for something woody, a more uplifting citrus scent or maybe a perfume with an intoxicating oud accord. The best way to decide on a new fragrance is to visit a perfumery like ours and try out all the different Eau de Toilettes and Eau de Parfums for men, but for those that can’t visit our perfume shop, we have listed 10 of what we would classify as the most popular and sort after fragrances for various age ranges at the moment. Check out our men’s aftershave gift sets, and men’s shaving gift sets for the full experience, even if you can’t visit our store.
