This year, we asked our Re-Founder—a fragrance expert and father—for the scents he recommends giving this Father’s Day. From bold and rich to clean and crisp, these are the scents he reaches for himself.
And while they’re technically gifts for dad, they’re all entirely unisex. So tell dad not to be surprised if you end up stealing a few sprays for yourself.
For the minimalist dad.
Paper Expressive
If he says he “doesn’t wear fragrance,” start here.
Paper Expressive is a warm, woody skin scent built around Iso E Super. It feels less like “wearing fragrance” and more like your skin—but better—thanks to Cedarwood and Sandalwood.
“After 20 years in the industry, I stopped wearing fragrance. Paper was the scent that got me back into wearing fragrance. Believe it or not, I start my day with at least six sprays.” –Vicken
For the dad who owns the room.
Moss+ Bold
The kind of fragrance people will remember him by.
Moss+ Bold is a more masculine, green tonic of Bergamot, Oakmoss and Juniper Berry that captures the grounding freshness of the outdoors. Familiar enough for traditional cologne lovers, but unique enough to have people asking, “What are you wearing?”
“Moss+ Bold is the fragrance I share with friends who want a more classic ‘cologne.’ It commands the room and smells of confidence.” –Vicken
For the dad with a signature style.
Velvet Expressive
The best fragrances are sometimes the ones you never see coming.
Velvet Expressive is a smoky, ambery blend of Roasted Almonds, Rose and Amber that feels modern rather than traditionally floral. Equal parts mystery and intrigue, it’s the kind of scent that surprises people—including our Re-Founder himself.
“Even though I hate florals and it’s our least popular fragrance, I just really love Velvet. A truly unisex floral that has become my daughter’s favorite, and will hopefully become your favorite, too.” –Vicken
For the difficult-to-shop-for dad.
Milk+ Bold
The kind of fragrance that everyone will love.
Our bestselling scent instantly fills a room with rich Mahogany Wood, smoky Firewood and sweet Marshmallow. Consider this dad’s warning: once it’s in the house, it’s fair game.
“This is actually my wife Rosette’s favorite, too. It started on my side of the sink and has slowly made its way over to hers...!” –Vicken
