VIP for Him (2012) (Eau de Toilette)

Playboy · 2012

Fruity · Sweet · Synthetic

Playboy VIP for Him is a fruity, sweet men's fragrance, with gourmand and spicy touches set against a woody base. The top opens with rum, rhubarb and bergamot, and a heart of apple, aquatic notes and lavender softens it. The base of tonka bean, sandalwood and white chocolate dries down sweet and powdery. Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and leisure wear lead. Its character reads modern and masculine. Joop! Joop! Thrill Man and Star Wars Empire Man have a close profile.

Philipp Plein · 2021

Fresh · Aquatic · Green

Philipp Plein No Limit$ Plein Super Fre$h is a fresh, aquatic fragrance for men that opens with blackcurrant, black fig and marine notes. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, though summer has its share too. It suits leisure, evenings and nights out, and it reads masculine and modern. Blackcurrant, lavender and artemisia give the top a green, cool feel. Black pepper, cardamom and ginger add spice at the heart, while grapefruit and bergamot keep it bright. Papyrus, sandalwood and cedarwood build a woody base, lightly sweetened by white chocolate and Bourbon vanilla. The smoky and leathery touches stay in the background.

Era Elixir

Jaguar · 2025

Fresh · Fruity · Sweet

Jaguar Era Elixir is a men's fragrance that pairs a spicy opening of black pepper, saffron and cardamom with a sweet, leathery base of vanilla, caramel and tobacco. The top is led by black pepper, saffron, cardamom and bergamot, with grapefruit and mandarin orange adding a fresh, fruity lift. Lily of the valley and violet leaf sit in the heart. In the base, vanilla, caramel and sandalwood turn sweet, while tobacco and leather leave a woody, oriental trail as it dries down. Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It suits daily wear, leisure and the office, and half of voters read it as masculine. Laura Biagiotti Romamor Uomo and James Bond 007 Seven Intense have a close profile.
