Fathers Day is about making sure father figures understand how much they mean to us and saying thanks for all their patience and understanding during the year.

So whether you are buying for your dad, dad-in-law, grandpops or just someone whom you feel deserves it, why not ditch the socks and give them something really special to raise their spirits in the shape of a pampering gift of fragrance, bath and body products or make them a real smoothie with some skincare products.

Embrace hedonistic adventure with the iconic Recharge Black Pepper Eau de Parfum; best suited for the dynamic sophisticate. Bright bergamot with a flush of laendin is embrolden by black and pink pepper in the heart and finished with earthy green vetiver for a deep sensual base. Pop into the Molton Brown Boutiques in Leeds, Harrogate or York  to see the full range and sample it for yourself.

Penhaligons Boutiques in York and Leeds are  the ultimate place to chose your Father’s Day fragrance if you are in any doubt as they’ve put together some suggested matches to types and fragrances. We love Dandy.  It has charm and a sense of style inspired by iconic figures of the past who blended sophistication with bold individuality.   Penhaligons suggest  Sartorial for the smart dresser; The Blazing Mr Sam for the music fan and The Tragedy of Lord George for the modern man to name but a few of these ingenious but fun matches.

From Chanel comes the limited-edition Bleu De Chanel All-Over Fragrance Balm designed to prolong the aromatic woody notes of Bleu De Chanel. It can be applied to the hands, hair, and beard on the go, instinctively, at any time throughout the day. It features a rich texture, which delivers comfort and softness, it scents and moisturises.

Explorer Extreme from Montblanc is bound to delight. The signature explorer is pushed to an extreme as it embodies the quintessence of modern masculinity, an intoxicating fusion of intensity and sophistication. It has top notes of Bergamot, a heart of Patchouli and a base of amber.

Two amazing Father’s Day choices come from Versace. Eros Energy is inspired by the breathtaking beauty of the Mediterranean coastline. The latest creation in the range is is a citrus woody perfume with notes of pink peppercorn and sharp blackcurrant. Finally this spirited scene is rounded off with warm green notes of patchouli and oakmoss.  Eros Najim is an oriental spicy and wood fragrance that begins with a vibrant burst of bright yellow mandarin which evokes the radiant colours of the desert sky before dawn.

Evoking a regal air, he’s sure to love Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan Eau de Parfum. Long forgotten in a wooden box with a fragrance of its own naturally developing, the resin was reworked with cistus and vanilla and patchouli.

Tom Ford’s Bois Marocain features the darkly opulent essence of ancient trees. Its spicy and stimulating and the perfume scent uncoils powerfully with the spicy freshness of pink peppercorn and cedarwood. Available from the Perfume Shop
