Now I don’t care how good looking or well dressed you are, if your scent is more repulsive than attractive you’ve already failed. This week we feature the colognes that will keep you feeling like a stallion instead of looked at like a skunk.

Top Rated: Acqua Di Gio

Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Pour Homme is a perfect mixture between sensuality and masculinity; It is pleasant for almost any nose, and manages to stay fresh and fashionable year after year.Thus, it remains on the #1 spot in the US top sellers list. Because of its lightness, it is sometimes defined as a “summertime fragrance” but use it year-round.

Masculine: Le Male (Jean Paul Gaultier)

Wearing this cologne will reflect the idea that nothing in this world is completely black or white but a blend of both. The scent bottled in a sailor’s T-shirt shape, Jean Paul Gaultier has transformed the symbol of men identifying their masculinity. You always want to be viewed as a man.

Ladies Choice: Davidoff Cool Water

This 1998 fragrance was among the first ones to spring up with an aquatic and captivating aroma, which many tried to follow. Davidoff Cool Water is a unique combination of vitality and extreme sensations: the essence of a man in the nature. As Trey would say “This 1 right here a panty droppa“.

Athletic : Polo Sport Ralph Lauren

A clean, crisp scent that keeps you cool and refreshed. A scent created for today’s active, health-focused man. The line also includes a state-of-the-art collection of skin fitness essentials. This is a daily use by myself to keep that crisp feeling all day.

Be Bold: Diesel Only The Brave

Its all about conviction & self-confidence. Try Only The Brave from Diesel a magnetic duality connecting the warmth and masculinity of lemon and leather with the energy of amber and cedar wood. They will take notice without the side eyes of old man musk.

Unmistakable: Curve for Men

A super masculine blend designed for an edgy ambitious man. Its energetic, captivating and magnetic. Its the most recognizable fragrance on the market. Its the last thing they will notice but that’s exactly what you want when she strolls by.

Lolita Lempicka L’Eau au Masculin

Composition of  L’Eau au Masculin brings intense freshness which can only be compared to strength and honesty of a man’s heart. This creation connects strength and pure heart of man with power and purity of nature. Its soft yet strong. Wear this to the important meeting or when you first want to impress. Why is it the dark horse? Its not even sold in the U.S., its almost as unattainable as your style will be unduplicated.

Hopefully my rotation suits your style, but I would love to know what is your scent? Just like your style, your scent must be your own.

The holiday shopping season is now in full swing! Hopefully you all got some great deals for yourselves and family members. If you did not partake in the Black Friday or Cyber Monday madness, we are now starting our holiday gift guide, but with a twist. Instead of just doing 2 posts, one for men and one for women, we will have a series of posts called 25 Days of Christmas.  So for Day 1 we will start with the woman who can never have enough perfume, The Perfumista.

Perfume may seem like a typical gift, but you must have various fragrances for various moods. Every woman has her “go-to scent,” but you also need scents for work, date night, ladies night, etc. You can never go wrong with this gift. Just learn her preferences. Does she love strong scents, floral, fruity, etc? Whether you are shopping for a co-worker, girlfriend, wife, mother, sister, aunt, etc., perfume is always a great choice.

Some of my personal favorites are

  • Gucci Flora
  • YSL Parisienne
  • Flower by Kenzo

Here are some other great choices

 

So HSN is the devil. Yes I said it! I try not to watch this channel around this time because I know that I get a little carried away, but my mother called me last night and told me to turn to HSN. For those of you who do not know who Andre Walker is, he is the GURU of hair care and he is a fabulous hair stylist. He has been doing Oprah’s hair for the past 25 years. Oprah’s hair never looks out of place. It is always full, thick, bouncy, and shiny.

I can’t tell you how excited I am to try these products. When Oprah first debuted his line I was excited, but the prices were not what I am used to spending. I  ordered one for my mother for Christmas *shhhh don’t tell* and one for myself. I have been looking for new products that will get my hair healthier, so hopefully this is it. My package should arrive right in-time for Christmas so I can start fresh with a new do for the New Year 🙂

Here is a description of all of the products. Be sure to look out for my review.
