There’s a fascinating soft hint of soda-fizziness in the opening notes of this original fragrance – perhaps a cheeky nod to a half-time refreshment for the legendary footballer behind this brand. A fearlessly flamboyant yet assuredly rugged scent, this, we can’t help but imagine the man himself wearing it – fitting his character as snugly as his array of designer suits.
Dashingly attractive, we’re particularly loving the floral notes of peony and violet here – not what you might expect from a sporting hero’s scent, but fabulously sexy on a man’s skin. Think: soapy, warm-skin cleanliness, fresh from the shower and wrapped in a fluffy white towel… (We know we are.)
As the top notes meld seamlessly to the heart, a softly powdered warmth boosts the base with that gently smoked vetiver emerging in the dry-down for a truly compulsive fragrance we’ll definitely be getting up close and personal with.
