Molton Brown's latest collection: Vetiver & Grapefruit. "The warm sophistication of Haitian vetiver conflicts with the cool, tonic freshness of grapefruit, resulting in a tense union… vetiver oil reveals subtle grapefruit undertones - just enough to relieve this tension and convey a sense of effortless elegance." Available in Bath & Shower Gel, Body Lotion and Deodorant spray.
(Mostly) Scented Father’s Day Gifts ~ 2018 Edition
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.)
