Fashion juggernaut Louis Vuitton debuted fragrances for men earlier this year in an already competitive market, but its presence attests to the opportunities to be had. Men today are more willing to experiment with scents, in contrast to sticking to the same perfume for years.
Says Susan Tan from fragrance distributor Luxasia: “Men are now starting to own at least two fragrances with many owning multiples, providing variety to their scent library.â€
She observes that more are becoming adventurous with their choices, going for long lasting non-commercial, or “cult†scents.
Whether you’re the daring or the brand-loyal sort, we present here a selected menu of the fragrances launched this year, plus our verdict of the product.

Word is that the scent was inspired by the freedom of the American road, but Jack Kerouac and company this whiff is not, unless the Beat gents exude easy to wear. If you can’t decide among the more distinctive colognes, this would be a good option.
In short: Don’t mistake it for a whiskey flask.
