Only For Him

Only For Him, released by Hayari Parfums in 2014 and composed by Cécile Zarokian, is a woody fragrance with a bright citrus lift. Wood leads, citrus follows strongly, and spice, flowers, resin and amber share a supporting role.

The opening is fresh and peppery: grapefruit, bergamot and orange give a juicy, tangy citrus, black pepper a dry spice, and elemi a lemony, resinous freshness. Green notes add a leafy touch. In the heart, jasmine and lily of the valley bring a clean, light floral note. The base is rich and textured: guaiac wood and papyrus give a smoky, dry woodiness, cedar and vetiver an earthy structure, and benzoin and amber a warm, resinous glow, with oakmoss adding a classic, slightly mossy finish.

The overall effect is refined and versatile, suited to the office, evenings and smart occasions. Men who appreciate citrus woods with a resinous depth should find it a sophisticated choice for most seasons.
