This Spring’s hottest new fragrance for men, Dirty English by Juicy Couture, is much more spice than we usually expect for this time of the year, but it’s surprisingly light in comparison to it’s name.

The fragrance is a blend of peppered mandarin, blue cypress, Calabrian bergamot, caraway, cardamom pods, marjoram, black leather, “Santal Fatal” accord (a mix of sandalwood, Atlas cedar and vetiver), agarwood, ebony wood, black moss absolute, and amber musk.

If you don’t like using an antiperspirant, but you still don’t want to smell like a dead skunk by the end of the day, try the
