It's Father's Day ALREADY? This year I've assembled twelve gift choices (13 counting the non-scented tie above) that can be mixed and matched: a box of soap and a shower gel, or some grooming products and a bottle of booze (there's always food and drink on my list...they're "fragranced," correct?) So, buy a nice box or bag and fill it up! (If the box is a lacquered Chinese antique or the bag is a leather tote — all the better.) 

The Gentleman Floris No. 89 Grooming Collection

The Floris grooming collection includes Face Wash (150 ml), Shaving Cream (100 ml) and Facial Moisturizer (50 ml). The Floris No. 89 scent includes notes of bergamot, lavender, neroli, nutmeg, orange, petitgrain, geranium, rose, ylang ylang, cedar, musk, oak moss, sandalwood and vetiver; $104 at MR PORTER.

 

Oriza L. Legrand Soaps

Oriza L. Legrand makes sensational soaps in gorgeous retro packaging; create a box of three soaps, your choice; €30 at the Oriza L. Legrand online boutique.

Hermès Un Jardin en Méditerranée Body Shower Gel

My favorite Jardin fragrance, Jean-Claude Ellena describes Un Jardin en Méditerranée as 'A perfumed expression of a Mediterranean memory, a mosaic of olfactory, visual and tactile sensations.' The fig-rich fragrance of the bath gel is wonderful, outdoorsy; $54 at Nordstrom (among others) and Hermès boutiques.
