Stuck in a Valentine's Day rut?
Instead of wilting bouquet of flowers, this scribe has a series of perfumes and colognes that both gender will appreciate.
Lacoste just released EAU DE LACOSTE, the new signature fragrance for women. Antoine Delgrange, Global Marketing Director P&G Prestige. “So we looked at turning this simple fashion design philosophy into a feminine and beautiful sensorial experience,”
he adds. The result is a fragrance that captures the simple luxury of
the refreshing feeling of pure white cotton on skin. To evoke the crisp,
clean nature of cotton, a bouquet of white flowers brings to life the
fresh, cooling caress of the fabric and conveys the sense of purity that
white symbolizes. Channeling a mood of soft sensuality, creamy balsam
tones add a resonant base. EAU DE LACOSTE is built on a classical
fragrance structure, where the fragrance evolves smoothly from top to
base notes over time, but superimposing modern ingredients on
traditional ingredients, to generate a much lighter fragrance profile.
EAU DE LACOSTE effervesces with sparkling freshness via juicy top notes
of White Pineapple, with Mandarin and Bergamot from the unspoilt Italian
region of Calabria. Expressing the purity that lies at the heart of the
LACOSTE brand, the elegant, white floralcy of Orange Flower, Jasmine
Sambac are woven with the almost textural quality of Pineapple Flower to
create a delicately clean, natural femininity. A creamy and voluptuous
sensuality lingers at the base, resonant of Sandalwood and Vanilla
enveloped with Vetyver and Peru Balsam. Says Antoine Delgrange: “There is something truly sophisticated about a fragrance with a simple and unpretentious formula.”
Approaching the most romantic of days and nights, this The Art of Shaving Rose Gold Shaving Brush by Mühle of Germany in feminine rose-gold with an extra soft, fluffy Fine Badger Hair in an handle measuring 3.85 inches in length, 1.18 inches in width in engraved detail handle can make shaving for soft, smooth skin easier and more fun.
Fine
Badger Hair is handmade to preserve the soft white tips of the natural
badger hair. Retains water to deliver a warm lather. Lightly exfoliates
skin and helps lift beard hair. Engraved Handle detail is visually stunning as well as aids in an improved grip during use. High quality rose gold colored handle will help resist rust and wear well in a wet environment.
The hottest actor is also the hottest hipster right, Jared Leto.
As HUGO Fragrances ambassador, Jared Leto, “Pushing boundaries is important for everyone – that’s when you find the greatest reward, the biggest breakthrough”.
“I think creativity and pushing boundaries go hand in hand, and originality comes from individuals who are willing to take chances, to bet on themselves”.
“I think creativity and pushing boundaries go hand in hand, and originality comes from individuals who are willing to take chances, to bet on themselves”.
Thriving
on pressure, Jared Leto sees life as both a journey and an adventure,
actively seeking out new and innovative experiences to ensure he is
constantly evolving and pushing himself to reach new heights. “People
sometimes think of pressure as having negative connotations but I think
it can be a great motivator to take control and define who you are.
When you face a challenge it’s important to keep pushing yourself so you
can learn and grow, and I always feel glad I did when I come out the
other side.” Jared Leto
The acclaimed
musician, music video director and film actor, Jared Leto, is the face
of HUGO Fragrances. A modern icon of originality, he is renowned for his
extraordinary creativity.
“An innovative scent requires an innovative source of inspiration and HUGO Red is
a great example of this. We wanted to create a perfume for men that
captures the idea of pushing boundaries and to achieve this we found an
unexpected parallel with the behavior of cold and hot metal. The result
of our creation is a contemporary blend of contrasting ingredients, full
of cold and hot tension that stimulates the wearer and leaves him
feeling energized and ready to challenge himself.” - Will Andrews, P&G Fragrance Creation Team
What most people don't know is that this is the 50th Anniversary of the legendary James Bond, 007. During the Sochi Winter Olympics, BBC America is airing a mini-series on the man who created James Bond, Ian Fleming.
Thanks to his own cunningness during World War II, Ian Fleming not only created James based on his own military experiences, he also single-handed change the ideal British Male, into a resourceful, debonair, cultured, Playboy-sque spy trained in the martial arts.
Honoring the naughty man, Quantum, the
third installment to the dangerously sophisticated James Bond 007
fragrance line, comprises a truly masculine and invigorating array of
ingredients, combined to bring to life Bond’s sense of cool under
pressure.
For
over fifty years 007 has captivated audiences with his mesmerizing
confidence, unfailing composure and ability to keep cool under pressure –
anytime, anywhere. Just as 007’s senses are awakened as he rises to the
challenge, this intensely masculine fragrance invigorates body and mind
allowing every man to harness fast-thinking and cool calm to accomplish
the mission ahead with Bond-like confidence.
Quantum
is a composed and undeniably masculine fragrance comprising the most
stimulating and distinguished ingredients; Quantum combines Bond’s
experience and reassurance with his controlled confidence- an invincible
combination when the stakes are high.
The fragrance has a two phase character, enabling every man to acquire the very essence of Bond like composure: The Raw Masculinity Accord in
the fragrance drives reassurance, via a classic masculine groomed scent
character generations of men will relate to. Quantum opens with
intensely potent Juniper Berries, evocative of Vesper Martini, with the
resonance of Bergamot imparting an energizing citrus hit, to reflect
Bond’s anticipation for the challenge.
The
deep woods of this accord are consistently masculine in their scent
character, with the influence of Sandalwood in particular being
associated with spiritual calm and focus – a virtue Bond is renowned
for.
In
traditional 007 Fragrance style, the distinctive and strongly masculine
flacon resembles the sleek aesthetic synonymous with the Bond universe.
The intricate metallic meshing texture found on the robust, gloss
finish silver glass depicts the elegant and truly distinguished designs
of Bond’s infamous car collection. Finally topped with the twist cap,
this time in ‘danger’ red, the flacon brings to life the exhilaration
and adrenaline of Quantum - the ultimate 007 gadget for men.
As the pressure of the challenge intensifies, mental focus and composure become key. The Composure Accord takes
action to complement and invigorate Bond’s readiness, reflected through
the Raw Masculinity Accord. The reminiscent scent of leather, a
luxurious and robust material featured in Bond’s elite and exclusive
sports cars, is a key component to the Composure Accord; imparting its
timeless and deep aroma to convey Bond’s intense metal focus. Enhanced
by fragrant Violet Leaf, the Composure Accord awakens the senses
enabling men everywhere to keep their cool when the stakes are high.
Actually, the 50mL bottle for $40 and the 30mL bottle for $30 are available at Kohl's and Kohls.com.
