It’s that time of the year again where we peruse the websites and wander the shops trying to find that perfect Christmas gift. According to website Deloitte, the UK is the highest spending market in Europe, spending an average of £567 each at Christmas. With such an abundance of products out there to choose from I thought I would compile a selection of products that I have experienced and would make the perfect Christmas gift.
Here is my Blu Blazer Guy Christmas Gift Guide:
Fragrances
Fragrances are an essential part of my personality, allowing me to express how I feel daily. I find it captivating that with just one spray, a fragrance has the power to change our mood, boost the spirit and conjure up old memories. I especially love seeking out unique and unusual scents and often spend numerous hours pursuing the next up and coming scent. My first guide covers my favourite unisex fragrances that have all recently been launched in 2019.

This fragrance created by New York Perfumers Jerome Epinette and Pierre Wulff is the perfect blend of Floral and Spice.
