A Scent for Dad
Father’s Day is upon us and giving your dad a biltong hamper, “best dad” mug or a pair of boring socks is so 2019. It’s time to spice things up! And we are not talking about “Old Spice” aftershave, but an actual scent that will turn heads and remind your momma why she chose your daddy.
There are many types of dads out there, and we have broken it down into different “Dad types” for you, with the perfect perfume suggestion for each type. Which one explains your Dad the best?
- The Joker:
You either know of a joker dad or you might have one. They are the dads that crack jokes all the time – especially the cringe-worthy bad dad jokes. They try to be funny, but boy do they fail miserably, yet we cannot help but love them even more for it.
Perfume suggestions for this fun-loving Dad:
Pontiac - A scent similar to Spirit of the Brave by Diesel
Rebel - A scent similar to Wanted by Azzaro
Decadence - A scent similar to Black XS L'Exces by Paco Rabanne
- The Fixer:
There is never a need to have a handyman on speed dial with this type of dad. They are great at fixing anything and everything from a flat tyre, to changing lightbulbs or assembling furniture.
Perfume suggestions for this Dad that always gets the job done:
Nevada - A scent similar to Sauvage by Dior
90˚ - A scent similar to Aramis 900 by Aramis
Chorus - A scent similar to Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent
- The Ice Man:
This dad is a tough one to crack. He is broody and silent, he doesn’t need to say much, his eyes convey his intended message. He might intimidate everyone, yet you know under that tough exterior is a man that loves his children fiercely.

- The Dad with Swag:
He is hip, has a great sense of style and probably knows more about the latest fashion trends than most moms. He is a favourite amongst moms at the school, and it’s not for his great sandwich-making skills.
