It may not have been a great era for feminism, but the Mad Men era certainly knew how to do suave and sophisticated. Characterized by traditionally masculine smells like tobacco, leather and whiskey, they smell like you’d imagine and old-school men’s club would.
Fast-forward 70 years and these earthy notes still hold up, but now they’re worn by women and men (but still bought by women who love to smell it, let’s be honest).
The smell of masculinity…
Tobacco, leather, and alcohol-based scents have a rich history in men's fragrances. Tobacco brings a warm, sweet, and slightly smoky aroma, often associated with maturity and refinement. Leather, on the other hand, offers a robust and earthy scent, symbolizing strength and durability. Alcohol notes, particularly those resembling whiskey and gin, add a sharp, clean finish, giving the fragrance a sophisticated edge. These notes combined create a powerful olfactory experience, which is exactly why we think of Mad Men when we think of these scents. Here are a few of our favourite debonair scents for the sophisticate in your life.
Demeter Fragrance Library - Gin & Tonic, $34.95: This fragrance captures the crisp and refreshing aroma of a classic gin and tonic. With a sweet-deep juniper finish and a twist of citrus, it's a light and invigorating scent perfect for the modern man who appreciates the finer things in life.
Demeter Fragrance Library - Humidor Cologne Spray, $34.95: The Humidor scent is a balanced blend of tobacco, spices, and ozone, reminiscent of a well-stocked humidor (cigar room with constant humidity to keep them fresh). It's an irresistible combination that speaks to refined taste, appreciation for tradition, and days where smoking was legal in public.
Demeter Fragrance Library - Leather Cologne Spray, $34.95: There’s a reason leather notes feature in so many men’s fragrances now: it’s distinguished, earthy and comforting, This cologne recreates the luxurious odour of leather without using any animal products and is perfect for the man who is traditional yet down to earth.
