Highly recommended is the two-hour Men’s Package Allgäu, which pampers you with a full-body aroma oil massage, foot bath, facial and hand massage.

Free Spirit

Ermenegildo Zegna Parfums reinterprets the classic Acqua di Bergamotto with the new Acqua di Iris, a refreshing fragrance inspired by the carefree spirit of the Italian coast. The eau de toilette is centred around iris, a powdery note that gives the fragrance its sensual quality. Supporting the sophisticated yet masculine floral heart are bergamot, violet leaves and spices in the opening, as well as woods, labdanum and musk in the dry down. www.zegna.com

A Casual Note

Created for the modern man who embraces adventures and challenges, Uomo Salvatore Ferragamo Casual Life is a vibrant scent that plays with contrasts. At the beginning a crisp waft of green violet leaves is laced with spicy cardamom and lemon, before warming up by heart notes of coffee, ambrox and geranium. The fragrance closes with cashmere wood, cedar and white musk, which add a seductive touch to the invigorating scent. www.ferragamo.com
