The Monday Mail on Tuesday ~ help Nik find a new fragrance
Nik lives in “dreary London” and has the January blues at the moment…he is dreaming of the Portuguese and Greek coasts where he usually goes for holidays. He wants to find a summer citrus with a little more lasting power than the usual hour or so that most summer citruses can muster, and he’d like something a little more interesting going on beneath the bonnet/hood. Probably he’d like something newer on the market, but he’s open to suggestions.
The perfect scent would be a “bracing spritz of citrus, dry, with an interesting backbone”, and he’d like to keep the cost at around £100 ($122) if possible.
Can we help?
Here is what we know about Nik…
