(Mostly) Scented Father’s Day Gifts ~ 2018 Edition

Posted by Kevin on 7 June 2018 27 Comments

I have two “kids”; both cats. If they could give Father’s Day presents to me, I know they’d be either food-focused (Teddy Caramelo Calzini: redhead, polydactyl with attitude) or toy-focused (Uncle Vanya Mandelstam: he catches birds through windows — a feat! And he insists on wearing his luxurious coat all year round…see above).

Following are some perfume-adjacent gift suggestions for your father (that I’d like to receive or already own and can recommend); no foods or toys made the list! (Unless you count booze.)

The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 16 March 2018 Leave a Comment

From Bastide, the "Gift of Pampered Hands", in their Ambre Soir fragrance: "We obsess over the cleansing and hydration of our facial skincare, but we rarely give that love and attention to our hardworking, creative hands. Our oil-based, natural handwash makes your hands softer with each wash, and our matching lotion is made with lavender honey and olive squalane to deeply hydrate. With a matching handsome bar of triple-milled soap and take-anywhere hand cream, this complete set is the ultimate treat." $100.

Bastide Ambre Maquis

From Bastide (formerly Côté Bastide), Ambre Maquis Eau de Toilette in a 10 ml travel spray. "Warm, sensual, and mysterious, this fragrance is complex, evoking the delicate dance between strangers and lovers. During a candlelit dinner on the terrace of the Bastide, two individuals are sitting across from one another. A loving couple, a growing passion, or an eternal friendship - we will never know... All we feel is the steadfast force of their connection." $32 at Bastide.
