Even though I’m single, all of my friends in relationships have been asking me what to get their significant other for Christmas. My answer is simple: You can’t go wrong with gifting a new scent. However, since fragrance is so personal, I always recommend a discovery set like this one from Blu Atlas.

Gone are the days of settling for basic colognes. Your man should smell sophisticated and unique, and Blu Atlas’ Fragrance Discovery Set offers two options that aren’t your run of the mill men’s colognes. Inside the ornate box, you’ll find two hefty samples of Atlantis and Bountiful.

Atlantis smells just as mysterious and intriguing as the lost city its named after. The sensual and fresh scent is inspired by tropical Indonesian jungles. It starts with juicy bursts of bergamot, lemon and blackberry, then hints of lavender, clary sage, apricot and peach emerge for a succulent, heady twist. As it wears, it becomes softly captivating with a blend of oak moss, ambrette seed, violet and musk. It’s one of those scents that’s alluring — but in a subtle, sophisticated way. One whiff will make you want to snuggle in close with your significant other.

On the other hand, the Bountiful scent couldn’t be more different (in a good way, of course). It’s very woody, a tad spicy and has a commanding presence that veils your man in confidence. The opening has a surprising kick courtesy of bergamot, lemon, and pink peppercorn. The dry down will transport you to a blooming forrest with notes of oak moss, violet, cardamom, hyacinth and tree sap. Finally, the wood-centric base notes, including patchouli, vetiver, cedar, sandalwood and musk wrap him a comforting coziness.

If you ask me, both scents deserve a spot in any man’s fragrance collection — it’s always a good idea to own a few fragrances so he can select one that fits his mood and occasion. The discovery set will allow him to experience both. Plus, it’s a wonderful deal: The box is valued at $60, but you can get it for just $39. Talk about the perfect last-minute gift!

Don’t fall victim to picking up a boring gift because you waited too long to shop. Gift this fragrance discovery scent to impress your hard-to-shop-for man. It also technically doubles as a gift for you, because who doesn’t want their significant other to smell amazing? Secure this last-minute gift before it’s too late!
