Men fragrances

As I promised last week, after presenting the feminine perfumes for this summer 2009, here are the men fragrances you can miss for this season.

Extreme Attitude by Giorgio Armani

Armani honors the extreme and modern masculinity, with this new fragrance that opens on Sicilian lemon notes and a bit of aniseed, for a fresh moment, flavored by cardamom. The heart is burning because of coffee-cedar accords. The Extreme base is enhanced with smooth, woody ambergris and Indonesian Patchouli.

An unforgettable scent that represents a virile, sensual and deep man.
