Hollywood heroes always seem to get their act together, at least for the final 30 minutes of the movie — the good guy always triumphs over the bad and then rides off into the sunset with the leading lady. It doesn’t hurt to live in their world once in a while. Jacqueline Toyad selects a few manly scents that evoke the spirit of legendary leading men.
“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn” — Clark Gable as Rhett Butler L’Occitane’s Bergamot Tea is a little intense, but it’s a sparkling citrus scent that evokes the aroma of Earl Grey Tea — perfect for the man with classic tastes. This scent is suitable to share with his leading lady as well.
“Here’s looking at you, kid”— Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine Boss in Motion is for the man who appreciates the beauty, strength and energy in people. Its latest White Edition is bursting with freshness, and blends smoothly into a crisp aromatic heart.
“Every man dies. Not every man really lives.” — Mel Gibson as William Wallace Courage, self-confidence and independence — three qualities Braveheart shares with Omega and its debut fragrance Aqua Terra.

Available exclusively at corporate and franchise boutiques.
“Shaken, not stirred”— Sean Connery as James Bond Smooth and fresh like a Bond martini, Giorgio Armani’s iconic Acqua Di Gio gets a cosmetic revamp and comes in a limited-edition offering with an original book illustrated with photographs by Peter Lindbergh. “Never tell me the odds”— Harrison Ford as Han Solo Only The Brave will take risks. This scent is a contradictory blend of oriental woody and leathery notes, with a fresh finish of coriander and mandarin orange. From Diesel.
