The market for men’s perfumery is just as saturated – if you’ll excuse the pun. So, from Tom Ford and Diesel to Prada and Hugo Boss, this is where we’ll guide you through the best choices for any occasion, whatever your budget. Tea tree oil: Tea tree oil is commonly used in skincare formulas due to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory properties. A centuries-old ingredient that’s used to treat all kinds of wounds and burns, tea tree oil in an aftershave can help clean the skin and prevent razor burn from forming. If you have sensitive skin, you’ll also want to steer clear of formulas that contain synthetic fragrances. This goes for all skincare products, but especially for aftershaves, which are meant to be used on freshly shaved skin when the skin is raw and susceptible to irritation. Do your research, and look up the best aftershaves for men. Top-of-the-line aftershaves will generally stay away from the nasty stuff and only use premium ingredients. Eau de parfum, otherwise known as perfume, is between 8% and 20% pure fragrance (usually closer to 15%). You don’t need much as it can be quite strong, but it’s a great choice for wearing on a trip out. Expect each application to last for between four and five hours.If you got carried away with shaving and are experiencing razor burn, here are some ingredients to look for in an aftershave. Allantoin: Ideal for those with dry, sensitive skin that’s prone to itchiness, allantoin is a common aftershave ingredient that helps relieve everything from razor burns to diaper rashes. It can be incredibly moisturizing when combined with other hydrating ingredients. Discover the legendary marine fragrance of this Men's Eau de Toilette, inspired by the freshness of the ocean. The strength of deep waters and pure masculinity are embodied in this iconic fragrance. The scent unfolds with aromatic notes of mint and lavender, blended with the sensuality of amber. A unique composition that delivers an immediate freshness. Clean your skin: The first step to a good shave that doesn’t involve razor burn is making sure you’re shaving clean skin. Whether you have a beard or stubble, use a mild cleanser to get rid of dirt, oil and grime sitting on your skin. This graffiti-themed bottle hints at boldness and rebellion, which is exactly what you get with this stand-out scent, well suited to younger men (or at least the young at heart). Its top notes are zesty and fruity – notably apple and mandarin – while things balance out at its heart, where you’ll find sage and bourbon pepper. But it’s at the base that the dark, daring and punk-like nature comes through, courtesy of its characteristic patchouli and tobacco notes. Don’t go for this if you’re after something elegant and discreet, but do snap up a bottle if you want an energetic, powerful, slightly naughty fragrance. It’s a great choice for winter.

Chamomile: Just like your favorite chamomile tea calms you on a stressful day, chamomile in an aftershave poses the same soothing benefits for your skin. Not only does it help with relieving irritation post-shave, but it also encourages wound healing. Citrus is a popular choice for men’s fragrances. This is especially true in those designed for daytime wear, as it keeps things fresh and sharp. Citrus-inspired scents are often lighter and more refreshing, so are good for men who want to dip a toe into the world of fragrance, rather than dive right in. Tonic gives you top notes of grapefruit, bitter orange, lemon and apple. Ginger and cinnamon sit at its heart, while base notes of sandalwood give it some depth and earthiness. It’s a classy option for daytime use, whether you’re going to work or lunch.

Aftershave splashes: Aftershave splash is probably what your dad’s dad (and his dad) used. Think of aftershave splashes as you would a toner. They’re more liquid in consistency than lotions and balms, and often contain astringent, disinfecting properties thanks to ingredients like witch hazel. Though they’re fresh and lightly scented, splashes are typically formulated with alcohol (which can irritate the skin and tighten up the pores), so be wary of using such products if you have dry, sensitive skin. Splashes are best used for those with oily skin, as they’re less likely to contribute to the grease (which lotions and balms may do) and instead tone the skin. Ultimately, if you’re a fan of that tingling sensation, a splash is for you.This stunning unisex perfume was launched this year, although the Infusion collection of which it’s a part has been on sale since 2007. Thoroughly refreshing, it has top notes of green mandarin, mandarin leaf and orange peel; orange blossom and neroli its heart, and warming opoponax rounding things off at the base. There’s a rare energy to this perfume, which leaves you feeling glowing, vibrant and ready to face the day, whatever it may bring. Subtly exotic, but not intense, it’s thoroughly luxurious and more sumptuous than most of the citrus perfumes currently available.
