Choosing your own scent is tricky, but picking one for someone else can feel downright impossible. Fortunately, if you’ve been thinking about spoiling your dad with a new fragrance for Father’s Day, we’re able to give you some pointers. 

Fragrances tend to fall into certain categories that range from fresh and clean to spicy and enigmatic. If you have an idea of what type of your dad likes to wear, you’re halfway to finding his perfect match. 

Fresh 

Fresh scents are typically green, citrusy or aquatic. The green kind feature botanical notes like grass, mint or sage while the citrus type have juicy, zesty notes like orange, grapefruit and lemon. Aquatic scents contain watery notes like seawater and “ozone” – a fancy word for air. 

If your dad tells you he likes clean or sporty smelling scents, chances are he’ll appreciate anything from the fresh family. 

Spicy

As the name suggests, spicy fragrances include notes like cinnamon, pepper and clove as well as exotic elements like amber and smoky incense. As many of their elements tend to hail from the east, this fragrance family is often referred to as oriental.

If thinking of your dad conjures up words like “warm,” “sweet” or “spicy,” odds are good he’ll like this fragrance family. 

Woody

Typically masculine, woody scents are slightly warm and dry-smelling thanks to notes like sandalwood and cedar. These are often blended with green or earthy notes, like vetiver or leather. 

If fresh scents are casual and the spicy type are ideal for evening, then this subtly sophisticated family is the perfect middle ground that your dad could wear to work.
