Matière Première

Première Santal Austral

Sandalwood can go many ways, but niche French fragrance house Matière Première gives this universally beloved wood a particularly elegant spin. Here, creamy sandalwood mingles with powdery and lactonic (milky) nuances and a gentlemanly iris, creating a refined composition that’s worlds away from your garden-variety sandalwood.

Byredo’s Mixed Emotions lives up to its name: an intriguing woody fragrance that refuses to be boxed in. Its smoky, tea-like character mingles with green undertones, birch, and papyrus to create an ever-evolving blend of fruity, aromatic woods that’s equal parts comforting and edgy. It’s a little offbeat, but that’s precisely its charm.

Best Fresh Office Fragrances

What exactly does fresh mean? Well, besides the obvious, these pleasant-as-heck scents mostly suggest you gave a hoot about getting ready this morning. They’re uplifting and easy on the nose. Think a literal breath of fresh air, without making everyone around you want to open a window. Below, the best more sophisticated, non-generic freshies, ranging from crisp green botanicals to breezy, mineralic compositions, with notes like eucalyptus, clary sage, bergamot and sea salt often softened by gentle woods or musks.

When this gem dropped several weeks ago, I fell in love at first sniff. Inspired by the freshies of the ’90s, it gives the genre a modern spin with an intoxicating blend of geranium, lavandin, and rosemary, creating an herbal, atmospheric freshness that smells like the best air imaginable.

The brand says this smells like a fresh white T-shirt, but we’d call it that first-button-undone feeling of a crisp dress shirt. Bergamot and white pepper open bright, while sandalwood, tobacco, and iris add just enough warmth and texture.

Best Fougère Office Fragrances

If there’s one fragrance family that screams old-school sartorial elegance, it’s a fougère (pronounced foo-ZHAIR). French for “fern,” this fragrance family has long been a cornerstone of men’s perfumery, and while it’s having a moment right now, it’s also about as timeless—and office-friendly—as they come.

Traditionally built around notes like aromatic lavender, earthy oakmoss, and warm, hay-like coumarin, fougères have the calming, herbal, clean, slightly soapy quality of an old-fashioned barbershop. Just don’t mistake classic for dated. Today’s fougères are more interesting than ever, ranging from sharp and tailored to lush and verdant, or downright unconventional. Below, four greats.
