GUYS GROOMing summer

Here we are amidst summer, and as the menswear collections are in full gear, we’ve been thinking about GUYS and grooming.  Maybe because father’s day is around the corner, the idea of gifting and receiving for men is even more appealing.  Forego the tie, folks,  and let’s get to some delicious products that will please us + the guys: dad, brother, and boyfriend included.   It’s a perfect excuse to try out some man-friendly groom + improve items that are WOW worthy for a girl to try out too…

FRAGRANCE:

GIVENCHY gentlemen only is a new fragrance designed for the  “distinguished man” of today. Natural, refined elegance with the essential virtues of being a gentleman, fused with the essence of a man who is witty and intelligent. A charming blend of Green Mandarin, Pink Pepper, the Heart Of Patchouli and Vetiver.

In collaboration with Soap and Paper Factory New York, PATCH NYC created fragrances we’re loving for the guys!

BEAR eau de cologne is a fresh light fragrance containing Green fig, cedar, vetiver, raspberry and amber wood create a scent that is plush and lush with a honeyed flourish. The SKULL eau de cologne contains Black tea, anise, basil and citrus create a subtle and surprising scent.  Though geared more for the guys, both fragrances are unisex and great to “borrow a spritz.”

Another favorite fragrant item from Patch NYC x Soap and Paper factory is the solid perfumes.   Though at first it sounds girly, this practical throw in your grooming bag or gym bag item is great to freshen up lightly any time.  We love the BOOT solid fragrance that has notes of sandalwood, frankincense, cedar and Amber;  the Pipe fragrance has Vanilla, bourbon, cognac, tobacco and patchouli.  Easy to travel with, easy for a girl to borrow and add a little touch of scent.

MULTI-task:

MOLTON BROWN 4-in-1 sport wash for body + face + hair + shave contains cassia bark zesty lime to refresh, skin conditioners to help soften stubble for a closer shave while adding shine to hair.  This multi-tasking product is easy to slip into the gym bag or travel bag.

RICH  Energising Shampoo & Body Wash  is a 2-in-1 that contains Argan oil to help hair stay soft, with tea tree oil to help soothe + refresh the scalp, and peppermint oil that delivers a cooling sensation! This product is also UV + color protective with no Silicone Oil or Parabens.

HOME:

“Learning to dive in the Maldives made it hard to plunge into any other waters. I can still envision the brilliant coral reefs and variety of fish swimming about. Notes of agave and coconut are at the heart of Kuda Huraa, joined by a sultry sea breeze, with the sweetness of island florals and green palms.”—John Robshaw
