If you are like me you'll struggle to find a gift for the man in your life. They all seem to be rubbish at letting on what gifts they fancy. (I know all the men in my life are) To help with this I'll be doing a series of male grooming posts to give a few ideas.

First up is the Ferrari Essence Collection. The majority of men I know like to smell nice or at least use some form of aftershave, they also seem to quite like fast cars (I know this from being subjected to many a top gear episode, truth be told I actually quite like it now) so the combination of both ought to be a winner for most males.
The collection has five sophisticated scents and has been created to encapsulate the passion for excellence expressed through uncompromising attention to detail and an impeccable selection of the finest and noblest material.

Leather Essence, The Refined Leather Interiors - This has distinct raw leather notes which are combined with cinnamon, violet and tonka beans. Its a very masculine scent, warm and slightly spicy.
Essence Oud, The Mythical Maranello Rosso - A sensual scent expressing the strength and character of the Ferrari FF car. I have no idea if this car is sensual but the fragrance definitely is. Oud resin is said to be more valuable than gold which makes this all the more special.
Essence Musk,The Purity of Lights - My favorite of the five scents, this is light, fresh and classy with definite citrus notes which come from the addition of  white grapefruit as well as mint and bergamot. I wish there was a candle with this scent.
Cedar Essence,The Vibrant GT Colour - A fresh, fruity scent inspired by the mythic "Blu Tour de France" Ferrari GT car. Notes of warm Amber, Patchoili are complemented by Lavender and Watermelon with zesty citrus top notes.
Vetiver Essence, Tribute to Ledgendary Grigio Silverstone - Sparkling top notes of petitgrain, grapefruit and red pepper berries, heart of woody Vetiver, coffee and undertones of hazelwood and tonka bean. This has a warm, earthy scent with a hint of citrus.


I think these would make the perfect gift for any man (or woman, I've been wearing the Essence Musk as its gorgeous and I like to break the rules) The Ferrari Essence Collection is available via House of Fraser and Harrods and each retail at around £79.00 for 100ml.
