This Summer, Ted is expanding his Tonics collection of fine fragrances for men with the introduction of new 25ml Travel Tonics. If you think they resemble miniature hip flasks, then you're an alcoholic I tell you! Of course, I jest (although they do a little and I'm confident this was the inspiration behind the design).

I've just got back from a recent two-week stint in south east Asia and these little winners were by my side throughout. Designed to complement a busy jet-set lifestyle, each innovative Travel Tonic is slim line, portable and refillable, creating a unique fashion accessory for gents who are always on the go.

After a recent 11-hour flight from Heathrow to Bangkok I was in dire need of a refreshment, and I'm not talking about raiding the other kind of miniatures from the club kitchen. A quick wash in the cubicle and dab of one of these Travel Tonics brought me back to half-human status once we landed. Nothing worse than reeking of contained farts as you pass through customs. And believe me, the farts in business class don’t smell any better than they do back in coach. At least mine don’t.

Fusing style with substance, Travel Tonics are hand-brushed and polished with a metal lacquer and are available in Ag (silver) Au (Gold) and Cu (Copper). 

Ag 

A signature scent for the man who knows an entrance, Ag (Silver) ensures a lasting impression. Melting from notes of bergamot and violet leaf to an earthy heart of leather and warm Cedarwood, this dramatic and distinctive scent captures the essence of refinement.

Au 

The last word in masculinity, Au (Gold) is for the immaculate modern-day man who believes the devil is in the detail. Notes of bergamot and clove deepen to a dazzling heart of jasmine and a base of musk and vanilla. Supremely invigorating, this scent is a mark of distinction for any collection.

Cu 

This dynamic and striking Cu (Copper) scent suits the discerning gent with an eye for style and a taste for sophistication. A unique fragrance that is smooth and spicy, it captures the attention with a rich blend of zingy grapefruit and smoky pepper, contrasted with base notes of patchouli.

Ted's 25ml Travel Tonics are priced £28 each and are available from selected Ted Baker stores and online at tedbaker.com now. The Tonics fragrance collection is also available in 100ml bottles (£40 each) as well as a 50ml Eau de Toilette (£30) designed to top up the 25ml Travel Tonics.
