Good Shit...

I don't buy many things at Neiman Marcus but when it comes to fragrances they're hard to beat.   According to some info I stole of the world wide web, "Creed was founded in 1760 in England and about one hundred years later moved to Paris, where it is still headquartered today. While Olivier Creed, the sixth generation, is now at the helm, his son and daughter both work in the business as well, which promises to stay in the family for the foreseeable future."  Regardless this stuff is quite pleasant...

Friday I'm in Love

ms. pix was having a rough week. How to make a girl forget her cares for a while? Flowers or a good candle works. But if you want to step your game up, I suggest perfume. Saw the Balenciaga ad in VF featuring the talented and beautiful Charlotte Gainsbourg. Apparently I made a good choice. The next morning I had my latte waiting in the kitchen. The right gift with the right woman comes back to a gentleman in spades...

Balenciaga Eau De Parfum 75ml $130

"So Fresh and So Clean"

Spring is in the air. Time to change out your more substantial fall/winter cologne for a scent that is lighter, cleaner but still sophisticated. A couple of my favorites...

D&G Light Blue 2.5 OZ $50

Citrusy with hints of wood. Good option for the daytime.

Voyage d'Hermes 3.3OZ $130

Just sampled this one at Neiman Marcus today. I smelled oranges and wood. Wonderfully subtle. A very cool bottle that is refillable (cheaper when you refill). Your wife/girlfriend will be "borrowing" this one.

Tom Ford Neroli Portofino 1.7OZ $180

Of course it took Tom Ford for me to realize that colognes didn't have to be musky, heavy and well, smell like cologne. I've been wearing the Neroli Portofino which TF's site describes as "an iconic fragrance (that) balances luminous Citrus Oils and floral notes with Amber undertones..." As an added bonus, you can blend any of the Tom Ford scents with one another. Tom Ford - the Bo Jackson of the Fashion & Entertainment world...
