Vol. 1. "offers a unique blend of serenity and invigorating vitality. It wraps you in a comforting warmth while simultaneously delivering the freshness of citrus."

Meanwhile, Vol. 2 " encapsulates the essence of a New York evening – a scent that radiates confidence while veiling itself in an aura of intrigue."

Lundqvist has embraced fashion after making some style mistakes early in his career.

“Over the years I learned that the best advice when it comes to style is simple: be true to yourself,” Lundqvist told Men’s Journal

“Year-by-year I tried new things and I learned from my style mistakes. 

"I had some really bad outfits at the beginning – nothing worked together. 

"You go through things and find out what you like and what works for you.

"Eventually, you get to, ‘This is me, this is who I am and how I want to dress.’

"My best advice is to be yourself and try and stick to that.”
