BalMan

Balmain · 2004

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

The base of musk, vanilla and sandalwood closes on a powdery, sweet and woody warmth. Bottega Veneta Knot and Ted Baker Skinwear Ten for Men have a close profile.

Comme des Garçons · 2025

Floral · Green · Spicy

Comme des Garçons Monocle Scent Five: Syros is a green, spicy unisex scent that suits fall and spring days, leisure time and the office.
