If you’re rocking a fragrance inherited from your old man, or relying on a goopy deodorant stick for your olfactory game, it’s time to mix things up. Kick off your new scent strategy with this subtle, summery eau de toilette from Motor City designer John Varvatos. It’s the fragrance equivalent of your favorite jeans and a just-washed tee: classic, cool, and easy-going. Even the packaging—a flask wrapped in hand-woven rattan—exudes laid-back class.
I wish it had been something else that had been added to the Birchbox in November, not a product for a man. My husband already had cologne he hardly uses, and this was no exception. While I loved the smell, he had no real interest in it and I'll have to make him/remind him to wear it. I would have enjoyed a perfume sample far more. It was a real disappointment that it was not geared toward me, as a woman, since it was a female Birchbox.
4So. I love that Birchbox is $10 a month, and I am usually very pleased. But I don't like getting spare extras that they have sitting around in a box somewhere. I'm paying for products I can use. I put it on my fiance and it was just awful! Brassy, woodsy, and very overwhelming. Please BB, no more men's perfume. If I wanted it, I'd sign up for it.
