ZEPHYR

Zephyr is inspired by Acqua di Gio, the fresh sea-type scent a lot of men grew up smelling. If heavy perfumes give you a headache, start here.

It opens with citrus, then moves into aquatic notes and aromatic herbs. Underneath there are light woods and a bit of musk. It stays fresh the whole time and lasts around 12 to 14 hours.

This is a hot weather perfume. Think Lahore in June, Karachi humidity, long office days. It is also on our list of office perfumes for men in Pakistan because it smells clean and doesn’t bother the people around you.

For something fresh but a little spicier, have a look at A.S, our Sauvage inspired scent.

Fresh aquatic scents fade faster than heavy ones, simply because the notes are lighter. Zephyr holds up well for this kind of perfume, but on a very hot day you may want to reapply once in the afternoon. Keep the bottle in a cool cupboard, not in the bathroom.

This is the 50ml bottle for Rs 2,300. Free delivery across Pakistan, 7 day exchange.
