What it smells like

Burberry lists the fragrance's top and heart notes. It does not list base notes:

• Top notes: ripe lemon and fresh ginger, lively and easy to remember.

The brand associates the fragrance with the beauty and freedom of London's misty days. It says it is intriguing and luminous, with a relaxed, youthful style.

1. Apply it to clean, moisturized skin after showering.
2. Spray it on your wrists and neck, where the skin is warm.

What it smells like

How to apply it

1. Apply to clean skin after showering.
2. Spray once or twice, as Tom Ford recommends.
3. The best places are the neck and chest.
4. Do not rub the skin: the brand says this changes the way the fragrance develops.

How it smells

The fragrance unfolds in three stages, from the first few seconds to the trail that remains on the skin:

• Top notes: coffee.
• Heart notes: sambac jasmine and orange blossom, the white flowers of the composition.

YSL bets on the contrast between the bitterness of the coffee beans and the femininity of the white flowers, rounded by vanilla. The result is a sweet and warm fragrance that is easy to recognize.

When to wear it

YSL presents it as an evening and party fragrance, an invitation to go out on the town. If you wear it during the day, use a lighter dose.

How to apply it

1. Start with clean skin, moisturized with an unscented cream.
2. YSL recommends pulse points, as well as the creases of the knees and elbows, for a fragrance that lasts longer.
3. Spray from a short distance so that the fragrance spreads evenly.

Dior J'adore Eau de Toilette is a brighter version of the famous J'adore, for women. Dior describes it as a composition bathed in light, with a floral and citrus trail. It comes in the J'adore amphora, inspired by Christian Dior's hourglass silhouette, in a 100 ml bottle.

What it smells like

Dior does not divide the perfume into levels. It names three key ingredients:

• Main notes: red orange essence, neroli and Damask rose essence.

Red orange is, says Dior, the fruitiest of the citrus fruits, succulent and tart. Neroli, grown near Vallauris, in the Grasse region, stands at the heart of the floral bouquet. Damask rose adds a sensual and milky note, which brings comfort to the composition.

How to apply it

1. Spray on clean skin, after a shower, when the skin is still slightly moisturized.
2. Choose places where the skin is warmer: the neck, the décolletage, the inside of the wrists.
3. Hold the amphora a few good centimeters from the skin, so the spray falls like a fine mist.
4. Let the perfume dry on its own, without rubbing the skin.
5. For daytime, one or two sprays are enough. Add more only if you feel the need.

1. Spray on clean, dry skin after a shower.
2. Aim for the neck and chest, where the skin is warmer.
3. Hold the bottle at a small distance so the fragrance doesn't pool in one spot.
4. Do not rub the skin. Grapefruit and citrus evaporate faster if you rub them.
5. You can reapply with a spritz at noon if you feel the fragrance has faded.

JOOP! Femme is an eau de toilette for women, called JOOP! Parfum pour Femmes on the brand's website. JOOP! describes it as a tribute to feminine allure and subtle attraction. The bottle contains 100 ml.

What it smells like

You experience it in three stages. The top notes appear first, while the base notes linger longest on the skin:

• Top notes: bergamot and neroli, for a lively freshness.
• Heart notes: Bulgarian rose oil and orange blossom.
• Base notes: sandalwood and patchouli.

JOOP! says that the opening is sure of itself, that the heart is sensual, with floral facets and a slightly spicy touch, while the warm base gives it depth.

How to apply it

1. Apply the perfume to clean skin moisturized with an unscented cream.
2. Choose warm spots: the wrists, neck, and the crook of the elbow.
3. Spray from a short distance, not directly against the skin.
4. Do not rub your wrists together. Let the perfume dry on its own.
5. If you want to refresh it, spray again on the neck, not on the wrists.

• Base notes: blackcurrant and sensual woody notes.

The fragrance starts bright and fruity, then warms up slightly towards the end, on wood.

When to wear it

Davidoff recommends it for daytime: in the morning, at the office, on warm days. The 30 ml bottle is designed more for travel and weekends.

How to apply it

1. Apply it to clean skin, after a shower or after body cream.
2. Spray on the wrists and neck.
3. Do not hold the spray too close to the skin.

Rochas Man is a woody eau de toilette for men, which Rochas says embodies everything the modern man wants to be: tender yet masculine, cheerful yet profound. The fragrance is based on the contrast between lavender, jasmine and sandalwood. The bottle contains 50 ml.

What it smells like

• Top notes: lavender and bergamot, an aromatic freshness at the start.
• Heart notes: jasmine and blackberry wood, which Rochas says bring grace and refinement.
• Base notes: vanilla and sandalwood, with a gourmand sweetness.

The fragrance starts off classically with lavender, then becomes floral and, finally, warm and slightly sweet. Rochas says that it thus brought gourmand notes to traditional men's fragrances.

How to apply it

1. Use it on clean, dry skin after a shower.
2. Aim for the base of the neck and the chest, one spray each.
3. Hold the bottle a short distance from the skin, not touching it.

Ajmal Mystery is a fruity, floral, and musky eau de parfum for men. Ajmal describes it as a mystical and seductive fragrance that draws you into new worlds. The bottle contains 100 ml.

What it smells like

Every fragrance has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The top notes open it, the heart notes support it, and the base notes complete it.

• Top notes: mandarin, bergamot, and ginger.
• Heart notes: jasmine and freesia.
• Base notes: amber, tonka beans, and musk.

The opening is fresh and slightly spicy, thanks to the ginger. The jasmine and freesia in the heart are balanced by a warm base of amber and musk.

How to apply it

1. Apply it to clean skin after a neutral body cream.
2. Spray it on your wrists and neck, below the hairline.
3. Hold the bottle at a short distance so the spray disperses.
4. Let it dry on its own. If you rub your skin, the citrus in the opening will disappear more quickly.

Ajmal Evoke Silver Him is a woody and spicy eau de parfum for men, the silver edition of the Evoke line. It opens with citrus and spices, has frankincense at its heart, and closes with cedarwood and amber. The bottle contains 90 ml.

What it smells like

The top notes are the first ones you smell, the heart notes give it character, and the base notes linger at the end.

• Top notes: bergamot, cardamom and pepper, a fresh and warm start at the same time.
• Heart notes: orange blossom, violet and frankincense (olibanum), the part that gives the perfume its strength.
• Base notes: cedarwood, musk and amber, a woody and musky finish.

When to wear it

Ajmal recommends it for everyday wear, so it works just as well at the office as on the weekend.

How to apply it

1. Apply it to clean skin, after a shower and after the aftershave balm has absorbed.
2. Spray on the pulse points: wrists, neck, behind the ears.
3. Hold the bottle at arm's length, so the perfume falls like a fine mist.
4. Do not spread it with your fingers. The warmth of the skin does the rest.
5. In the morning, for the office, stick to a light spray. The frankincense and cedar smell great just as they are.

Ajmal Evoke Silver Her is a fruity, floral, and powdery eau de parfum for women, the silver edition of the Evoke line. It opens with mandarin and red fruits, features rose at its heart, and settles on sandalwood and vanilla. The bottle contains 75 ml.

How it smells

The fragrance unfolds in stages: first the light top notes, then the heart, and finally the base, which lingers the longest.

• Top notes: mandarin, orange blossom, and red fruits, a citrusy and succulent opening.
• Heart notes: damask rose, freesia, and pomegranate. Ajmal says this is where the fragrance's character lies.
• Base notes: sandalwood, tonka beans, and vanilla, a warm, woody, and powdery finish.

How to apply it

1. Apply it after a shower, to moisturized skin: fruity fragrances smell better on skin that is not dry.
2. Choose the wrists, neck, and inner elbows.
3. Spray from a short distance, without letting the sprayer touch the skin.
4. Do not rub. Let the citrus notes evaporate so you can reach the rose and sandalwood.
5. If you want the fragrance to be noticeable in your hair, spray it into the air and walk through the mist, instead of applying it directly to your hair.

Ajmal Evoke Him is an aromatic and fresh eau de parfum for men from the Evoke line. Ajmal created it for the sophisticated, style-conscious man: it opens with bergamot and green apple and finishes with woody musk. The bottle contains 90 ml.

What it smells like

A fragrance is experienced in three stages. The top notes evaporate quickly, followed by the heart notes, while the base notes linger last.

• Top notes: bergamot, green apple and lavender, for a fresh and aromatic opening.
• Heart notes: cardamom, juniper, iris and heliotrope, for a spicy and powdery heart.
• Base notes: vetiver, sandalwood and musk, for a woody-musky finish.

How to apply it

1. Apply it to clean skin after showering, allowing your moisturizer or aftershave balm to absorb first.
2. Spray it on your neck and chest under your shirt, where your body heat will release the fragrance.
3. Hold the spray a little further away from your skin so that the fragrance covers an area rather than a single spot.
4. Do not rub after applying: let the fresh notes evaporate on their own.
5. If you want the fragrance to last longer, add a spray to the back of your neck rather than applying multiple sprays to the same spot.

Ajmal Aurum is an eau de parfum for women, the fragrance that gives the Aurum series its name. Ajmal describes it as an oriental fruity fragrance, with succulent fruits and flowers on a warm base. It comes in a 75 ml bottle.

What it smells like

Every fragrance has three layers. The top layer fades the fastest, while the base layer lasts the longest:

• Top notes: blackberry, neroli, orange and lemon.
• Heart notes: orange blossom, jasmine, saffron, gardenia and lychee.

Ajmal compares it to the radiance of a summer day: bright fruits and flowers, followed by a warmth of amber, musk and vanilla.

How to apply it

1. Apply it after a shower, to clean and moisturized skin.
2. Spray it on your wrists, neck and the crook of your elbow, where the skin is warmer.
3. Spray from a short distance so it doesn't pool in one spot.

Ajmal Ambre Pimenté is an amber and spicy eau de parfum for men, with a woody base. Ajmal describes it as the fragrance of a man of action: a fresh, spicy, woody, and amber accord. It comes in a 100 ml bottle.

What it smells like

Ajmal does not publish a full pyramid for Ambre Pimenté, so we are giving you the notes exactly as the brand does.

• Main notes: amber and spices, complemented by the warmth of cedarwood and musk.

The Ajmal page in the United Kingdom adds that the opening is dominated by pepper, while the heart brings amber and aromatic accords. The name says the same thing: in French, "ambre pimenté" means peppered amber.

How to apply it

1. Spray on clean skin, after a shower and after moisturizing.
2. Choose the neck, chest, or wrists: on warm areas, spices open up better.
3. Hold the bottle away from the skin so that you do not concentrate the perfume in one place.
4. If you use aftershave, choose a neutral one so that it does not clash with the pepper.
5. Start with a little. Pepper is clearly felt in the first few minutes and does not need many sprays.

ProBeauty tip. Do not judge Ambre Pimenté by the first few minutes, when pepper is in the foreground. Let it reach the amber, cedar, and musk, that is, the part that remains on the skin.

Versace Pour Homme is an eau de toilette for men from the aromatic fougère-woody family. Donatella Versace says she looked for an intense and bold fragrance for a confident man. The formula is based on Mediterranean ingredients, and the blue bottle contains 100 ml.

What it smells like

• Top notes: Italian bergamot, neroli, Diamond musk, and bitter orange leaves. These are the Mediterranean accents at the beginning.
• Heart notes: nutmeg, clary sage, and blue iris.
• Base notes: oud wood, mineral amber, and cedarwood, the background that remains on the skin.

Versace describes the heart as a mineral-floral aroma, almost tactile, given by sage and iris. Amber and musk then bring the warm and sensual base. If you want a fresh, but not sporty fragrance, it is a sure classic.

How to apply it

1. Use it after a shower, on well-dried skin.
2. Spray on the neck, chest, or the inside of the wrists.
3. Hold the bottle a few centimeters away so you don't concentrate all the fragrance in one spot.
4. Do not rub the skin after spraying: the citrus top notes will fade faster.
5. Adjust the dosage for the occasion: less at the office, an extra spray for a night out.

• Versace Eros Flame, 100 ml eau de parfum
• Versace The Dreamer, 50 ml eau de toilette
• Versace Blue Jeans, 75 ml eau de toilette

ProBeauty's tip. If you don't know which Versace fragrance to choose for a man who hasn't worn the brand before, Pour Homme is a safe start. It is fresh and citrusy at the beginning, and the amber and musk base makes it easy to wear.

Versace Eros Flame is an eau de parfum for men, which Versace describes as passionate and intensely masculine, inspired by the flame of love. It is part of the Eros family and comes in a red bottle with Medusa in the center and a gold cap. Our page features the 100 ml size.

What it smells like

• Top notes: a blend of chinotto and Madagascar black pepper, a citrusy and peppery opening.
• Heart notes: wild rosemary and pepperwood, the aromatic part of the middle.
• Base notes: patchouli, Haitian vetiver and vanilla, which provide the warm background.

Versace places it in three families: citrus (fresh and bright), amber (warm and sweet) and woody. In short, it starts lively and ends warm, with woods and vanilla.

How to apply it

1. Apply it to clean and moisturized skin after a shower.
2. Versace recommends pulse points: the neck, the inside of the wrists, the area behind the ears or the chest.
3. Spray from a short distance, not with the bottle pressed against the skin.
4. Do not rub the skin after application, let the notes develop on their own.
5. Being an eau de parfum, start with a little. One or two sprays are usually enough.

Trussardi Black Extreme is an eau de toilette for men, created by Trussardi around notes of black leather and dark wood. The freshness of lemon contrasts with an aquatic accord and iris, the brand says. You can find it in the 100 ml black bottle.

What it smells like

• Top notes: Italian lemon, galbanum, and cypress. You smell them first, immediately after spraying.
• Heart notes: iris, plum, and violet. They give the fragrance its character.
• Base notes: patchouli, vetiver, and leather. They last the longest on the skin.

Trussardi speaks of contemporary masculinity, with a contrast between the fresh opening and the dark base of leather and woods. If you like leather fragrances but want a lively opening, it is worth trying.

How to apply it

1. Spray after a shower, on clean, moisturized skin.
2. Choose the neck, chest, or wrists: body heat helps the fragrance open up.
3. Hold the bottle a few centimeters away from the skin, not flush against it.

Prada La Femme L'Eau (La Femme Prada L'Eau) is an eau de toilette for women, a fresh version of the La Femme Prada line. Prada describes it as a deeply feminine fragrance with the youthful freshness of frangipani. The bottle contains 100 ml.

What it smells like

Prada does not divide the notes into layers, but lists them as follows:

• Main notes: frangipani, tangerine essence, ylang-ylang and tuberose.

In the brand's description, frangipani is enriched by tangerine and softened by ylang-ylang. Tuberose completes the bouquet, which Prada calls ethereal, while tangerine makes it even fresher. It is a luminous floral, lighter than La Femme Intense.

How to apply it

1. Spray onto clean skin, optionally after an unscented body lotion.
2. Aim for the neck, wrists and collarbone.
3. Spray from a distance, like a fine mist falling on the skin.
4. Do not spread it with your fingers: let it evaporate on its own.

ProBeauty tip. La Femme L'Eau is a good first Prada fragrance if you like white flowers but want them light. Keep the golden bottle in the dark, in its box: it looks good on the shelf, but light damages the fragrance.

Prada Candy is an amber and gourmand eau de parfum for women, the one that gives its name to the Prada Candy collection. Prada describes it as a playful and sophisticated fragrance, sweet and built around benzoin, white musk, and caramel. It comes in a 50 ml bottle.

What it smells like

Prada describes the fragrance as a three-step journey:

• Top notes: silky white musk.
• Heart notes: a generous dose of benzoin, a warm resin.
• Base notes: a sweet accord of caramel and vanilla.

Benzoin is the star: Prada describes it as a warm, sweet, and balsamic resin, with hints of vanilla honey. The result is an enveloping fragrance.

When to wear it

Prada recommends it for an evening date and for cooler evenings. Thanks to its warm notes, it is an autumn and winter fragrance.

How to apply it

1. After showering, moisturize your skin well, then apply the fragrance.
2. Spray on your pulse points: wrists, neck, and the inside of your elbows.
3. Hold the bottle slightly further away from your skin so the fragrance lands gently.

Lancôme Trésor Midnight Rose is an eau de parfum for women from the Trésor family, in a 50 ml bottle. Lancôme describes it as a floral and fruity fragrance, in which rose meets raspberry, jasmine, and blackcurrant. The faceted bottle transitions from pink to purple and has a purple rose around its neck.

How it smells

• Top notes: jasmine, peony, blackcurrant, and pink pepper. The opening is fruity and slightly spicy.
• Heart notes: rose and raspberry absolutes, which give the fragrance its character.

The brand calls it an all-round "captivating and sexy" floral bouquet. Lancôme says that raspberry does not appear in its classic form, but through its fruity aroma.

How to apply it

1. Use it on clean skin, a few minutes after applying body cream.
2. Spray on the wrists and behind the ears.
3. Hold the bottle close to the skin, so the fragrance does not pool in one spot.

• Heart notes: Damascena rose essence and white musk, the heart of the perfume.
• Base notes: Tahitensis vanilla absolute and patchouli essence, which warm it up at the end.

2. Spray on the wrists, behind the ears, and on the back of the knees, as Lancôme recommends.
3. Hold the bottle away from the skin, not touching it.

Kenzo World Eau de Parfum is an eau de parfum for women, the first fragrance created by the artistic directors of the Kenzo fashion house. Kenzo describes it as an unexpected and stunning floral bouquet. The bottle is shaped like the Kenzo eye, with black rubber, rose gold, and opaline glass, and contains 75 ml.

What it smells like

Kenzo describes three ingredients, without a classic pyramid:

• Main notes: peony, Egyptian jasmine, and Ambroxan.

1. Spray on clean, moisturized skin before getting dressed.
2. Choose two or three pulse points: the neck, décolletage, and wrists.

Gucci Bloom is an eau de parfum for women, created to celebrate the authenticity, vitality, and diversity of women. Gucci says the fragrance opens as its name suggests, evoking the rich scent of a garden full of flowers. The bottle contains 100 ml.

What it smells like

Gucci does not divide the fragrance into top, heart, and base notes. Instead, it highlights three main ingredients:

• Main notes: natural tuberose harvested in India, jasmine bud extract, and Rangoon Creeper.

Davidoff Run Wild for Her is an eau de parfum for women, inspired by precious nature. Davidoff describes it as a floral sensuality and says the name is a call to nature that takes your breath away. The mint-green bottle contains 100 ml.

What it smells like

The perfume has one star note at each level:

• Top notes: pomegranate, sweet and juicy, an explosion of aromas.
• Heart notes: jasmine, which combines sensuality with refinement.
• Base notes: pistachio, creamy and delicious, which the brand calls gourmand.

Davidoff says that jasmine reflects the naturalness of the perfume, while pistachio evokes freedom and sensuality. The result is a floral with a creamy, slightly gourmand finish.

How to apply it

1. Spray it after a shower, on skin moisturized with an unscented cream.
2. Spray on the neck and wrists.
3. Hold the bottle a short distance from the skin.
4. Do not rub, let the perfume settle.
5. Being an eau de parfum, a small spray is enough to start with.

ProBeauty's tip. If you like floral perfumes, but also want a creamy note, test it on your wrist and come back to it after a while. The pistachio in the base is barely noticeable after the pomegranate fades.
