Can you keep a secret? I ask that question, because I cannot keep a secret–which is why I’m blabbing about what I am getting my husband for his birthday to you, our precious readers.

 Versace Eau Fraiche Gift Set – $71 – Sephora

This description nails the scent perfectly:

This fresh, sexy interpretation of the Versace Man fragrance is a softer, more subtly sexy version of the original. Smooth fruits spiced with green leaves and warm notes of musk, amber, and sycamore wood make this a scent for today’s more introspective man.

This set contains:
– 1.7 oz Perfumed Bath and Shower Gel
- 1.7 oz After Shave Balm
- 3.4 oz Eau de Toilette Spray
- Black Leather Wallet

Notes:
White Lemon, Rosewood, Carambola, Tarragon, Cedar Leaves, Clary Sage, Musk, Amber, Sycamore Wood.
Style:
Elegant. Seductive. Charismatic.

Here’s the thing, if I don’t care for the scent my SilverFox of a husband is wearing, I guarantee it won’t be worn.  I have an extremely heightened sense of smell, and I will go insane and take everyone with me, if there’s an odor (specifically a terribly heavy fragrance) anywhere near me.

In other words, if the color of the fragrance is brown, amber or dark yellow, I will not care for it…at ALL.  A clear, or pale blue or green will usually work. ( I need freshness–citrus, mint, jasmine and the like to make me breathe easy, which is why I adore my own “signature” fragrance by Jo Malone, White Jasmine Mint.  I also use the luxurious Body Crème in the same scent. It’s intoxicating.)

Father’s Day is coming up–what are you planning for your gentleman in terms of fragrances?

Oh, and don’t tell my husband what he’s getting as a gift! Pinky swear!?
