The Essence Vault Father’s Day Gift Guide 2022

Let’s get one thing straight, Dads are hard to shop for. It’s not something you grow into like that t-shirt a bazillion sizes too big he bought you when you were a kid. In fact, it probably gets harder as there are only so many “best dad” mugs you can buy before he runs out of cupboard space.

But there’s one thing that he can never have enough of: perfume. When worn every day, he’ll be begging for another. So, if you’re looking for a way to outdo yourself this Father’s Day and beyond, here’s a selection of perfumes that all deserve to be spritzed every day - you’ll be sorely missed by the mug industry.

And if you're still a last minute shopper, don't forget to choose express delivery at checkout to keep your secret safe with us. Next year is your year, we can feel it!

For the Dapper Dad: No. 197 Intense – Inspired by Sauvage

Is your dad the type of guy that exudes excellence and sophistication wherever he goes? Then get him a Father’s Day gift that matches his level of refinement. Our No. 197 Intense fragrance is inspired by the freshness of Dior’s Sauvage. Opening notes of bergamot and ambroxan create the perfect balance of ripe tart citrus and dry ambery musk, making it ideal for dads who are mature, stylish, and love a bit of luxury.

For the Laidback Dad: No. 209 – Inspired by B Bottled

Chill, laidback dad types want a cologne that smells good and is fuss-free. Inspired by Boss Bottled, our No. 209 men’s fragrance can go from season to season, day to night, and works well for any occasion. It’s also well-balanced but highlights fruity and woody accords. Top notes of apple, bergamot, and cinnamon are hip and fresh, while cedarwood, sandalwood, vetiver, and olivewood end the fragrance on a masculine note.

For the Warm, Inviting Dad: No. 290 –  Inspired by Tobacco and Vanilla

Your dad is always kind and warmhearted, so why not give him a cologne that reflects his personality? Inspired by Tom Ford’s iconic Tobacco Vanille, No. 290 is spicy and decadent with heart notes of vanilla, cacao, tonka bean, and tobacco blossom. Tobacco leaves and spicy notes are there on first spray, while dried fruits and woody notes round out the base. The result is a men’s fragrance that lasts for hours on the skin and that your dad will request year after year.

For the Travel-Obsessed Dad: No. 157 – Inspired by Invictus

Some dads are always on the go, exploring new cities or hiking new trails. For those dads, you can’t go wrong with a Father’s Day gift that embodies his adventurous spirit. No. 157 is a men’s fragrance inspired by Invictus, Paco Rabanne’s woody aquatic perfume for men. This scent has a strong citrus opening of grapefruit peel and a marine accord that settles into masculine, aromatic notes of bay leaves, guaiac wood, patchouli, and ambergris.

For the Classic Dad: No. 470 – Inspired by Ombre Leather

Few scents are more classic than leather. And while a brand-new sports car with a leather interior might not be the most achievable gift for dad, a leather-inspired scent will do the trick. Our No. 470 perfume for men smells clean yet edgy with a sweet top note of cardamom, middle notes of jasmine and leather, and masculine base notes of patchouli, amber, and moss.

For the Fragrance Lover: No. 461 – Inspired by Baccarat Rouge

For the dads who love to collect cologne, you can’t go wrong with gifting them the best in men’s fragrance. This gift for dad is inspired by the woody, amber accords of Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian. Thanks to top notes of blood orange and citrus, this perfume for men opens with a breath of freshness. Its signature deep, slightly sweet scent comes from lavender, oak, oakmoss, and ambergris notes.

For the Dad Who Already Has Everything: No. 200 Intense – Inspired by Aventus

If you’ve spent all week frantically searching ‘Father’s Day gift ideas for the man who has everything,’ then this one’s for you. The Intense version of our No. 200 perfume for men uses the best ingredients from across the world to create a long-lasting fragrance that embodies strength, vision, and success (aka the qualities you admire in your old man). Unique notes such as blackcurrant, dry birch, and pineapple make this a standout cologne any dad would be proud to have in his collection.
