atsumu ➝ tom ford tobacco vanille. warm, comforting, and luxurious type of scent. there’s a slight spice to this cologne upon initial spritz, but then settles into the opulence of vanilla and cocoa throughout the day. very sexy scent that draws you in wanting more and makes you look back over your shoulder in wonder when he walks past. seduction in a bottle.
hinata ➝ jo malone nectarine blossom and honey. a light and citrus scent which instantly brings you to an orange orchard on a summer day. fresh, inviting, and playful. a whiff of this stuff is so addicting that you can’t help but want to indulge in the sweetness.
bokuto ➝ dolce&gabbana light blue sun pour homme eau de toilette. the essence of summertime fun. a little bit fruity, but the key notes of this cologne include rosemary and vanilla to introduce this sensational warmth when it lingers on the skin. reminds me of spending the entire day at the beach and drinking mimosas as you continue to splash in the shallow portion of the waters with your lover.
sakusa ➝ fresh laundry scent. feel like sakusa would be pretty sensitive to certain smells and wouldn’t worry about finding a “signature cologne.” though, he probably has a favorite fabric softener he uses and refuses to buy any other brand...
inunaki ➝ dolce&gabbana light blue pour homme eau de toilette. reminiscent of freshly squeezed lemonade on a hot summer day. refreshing, it’s almost like taking a headfirst splash into the ocean... or maybe enjoying the salty air on the sicilian shore during a honeymoon.
meian ➝ hermès terre d’hermès eau de toilette. grounding, earthy, and just flat out smells rich. I don’t know how they did it, but this cologne is the perfect balance of musky and fresh. like taking a stroll in the forest the day after it rained, dew drops still present on the leaves of oak trees.
thomas ➝ ysl y eau de toilette. another simple and clean scent. the longer you smell it, the more intoxicating it gets. will linger on your shirts. it’s like a breath of fresh air on a sunny day after being holed up at home for so long.
kageyama ➝ giorgio armani acqua di gìo absolu eau de parfum. a clean and classic cologne that is by no means boring. not too overpowering, but when you get close you’ll wonder what he’s wearing. blend of woodsy scents such as patchouli and rosemary with marine notes that bring the imagery of watching a sunset together at a boating dock, your legs dangling over the ocean and his thumb rubbing on the back of your hand as the orange glow from the horizon disappears.
ushijima ➝ le labo santal 33 eau de parfum. an addicting comfort, this cologne smells like the lingers of a cuban cigar after a long day of work. loosen your tie and relax to the sharp scent of sandalwood and cardamom in a leather lounge chair and prop your feet up on the ottoman. as the hours pass, the initial notes settle to reveal hints of floral from fig and iris.
hoshiumi ➝ jo malone wood sage and sea salt. days spent at the beach and the taste of the ocean on the tip of your tongue, that’s what this cologne is. it’s fresh, invigorating, and joyful. like the moment when you dive headfirst into the sea from a rugged cliff, the wind brushing past and your stomach doing flips until you splash in blue waves and feel rejuvenated.
oikawa ➝ le labo bergamote 22 eau de parfum. citrus with a twist of musk added. there are notes of tart sweetness from a summer grapefruit paired with the warm sensuality of cedarwood to make you think about the scent all day. it’s like dancing with a stranger at the beach in your favorite red dress, a bonfire nearby cackling along to the acoustics as sand tickles your toes and his laugh flutters in your ear.
iwaizumi ➝ tom ford oud wood eau de parfum. warm and rustic, this cologne smells like the light burn of amber upon your skin and settles for the entire day. reminiscent of unwinding in front of a fireplace with a blanket over your shoulders after trekking through snowfall.
