10 men's fragrances at the 2020 Fragrance Foundation Awards
Men's fragrances in the Men’s Luxury category
1. Sauvage Parfum (Christian Dior) - Fragrance of the Year
Interest in the Sauvage line, which debuted in 2015, has always been high thanks to the ambassador in the person of Johnny Depp, whose brutal image ideally contributed to the promotion. The perfume is distinguished by an oriental composition, in which sandalwood, olibanum and tonka beans merge with the warmth of vanilla and the citrus sourness of bergamot and mandarin.
2. The Voice of the Snake (Gucci)
A Gucci perfume that will be appreciated by lovers of spicy woody compositions with a dominant note of oud, supported by patchouli and saffron. It is called mysterious and hypnotic, bewitching and enveloping with its soft oriental character. This character is also evidenced by the name of the fragrance - "The Voice of the Snake".
3. The Formal (House of Sillage)
Another spicy woody composition, but this time with a more austere character, perfect for the office. Oriental notes are not stringy, but restrained, diluted with the freshness of citruses and the powdery of violets. White cedar, pepper, elemi, coumarin, sandalwood, cloves, ginger and nutmeg give the fragrance an oriental character.
4. Buenos Aires (Ignacio Figueras)
Rose and black currant were once atypical for men's perfumery, but this sweet-spicy scent for him and for her can fall in love with both men and women. It opens with notes of black currant, red pepper, ginger and bergamot, with notes of Turkish rose, rose water and laurel in its heart, and the base sounds with accords of patchouli, vetiver and amber.
5. Straight to Heaven Extreme (By Kilian)
By Kilian perfumery is a wide choice for her and for him, so women can also appreciate this sweet-viscous woody balsamic scent for themselves. It has notes of jasmine, patchouli, cedar, musk, amber, nutmeg, vanilla, rum and dried fruit.
Fragrances for men in the Men’s Prestige category
1. JV x NJ Silver (John Varvatos) - Fragrance of the Year

3. Explorer (Montblanc)
A universal daytime fragrance for men with a woody fougere composition - with bergamot, ambroxan, leather, patchouli, vetiver, pink pepper, clary sage and cocoa. This perfume is called a fresh and budget version of the legendary Aventus from Creed, also emphasizing its incredible longevity.
