Menage is a British grooming skincare brand specifically formulated for men’s skin and the riggers it encounters with everyday life. Its products contain an unique ingredient called “Copper PCA”. The range contains 5 unique products, all pitched at a very affordable end of the market, even though they look luxurious and aspirational.

Ménage came about back in 2010, when British rower Charlie Pitcher planned to row single handed across the Atlantic. He approach this fledgling brand for a new type of hand cream to protect and repair his hands from friction, sun, and salt water.  So they put their thinking caps on and decided to include their ground breaking protective antioxidant Copper PCA.

After great feedback from Charlie, who’d just broken the world record,  they realised they were on to something and discovered, how, many men need proper anti-ageing skincare. From this they started looking at solutions for men working in harsh conditions, doing extreme sports, or just working with their hands every day.

Some of the key products in the range include, the Anti-Fatigue Eye roll-on, this Caffeine enriched product works to combat the visibly tell tale signs of tired eyes. It’s invisible cooling serum absorbs quickly to reduce the appearance aging and over doing it, whether that be through work, play or a lack of rest, including fine lines, dark circles and bags under the eyes.

Also, a little miracle in a tube is the Daily Hand Repair, this instantly absorbing hand cream rehydrated and repairs damaged skin, but in the process leaves them completely non-greasy and ready to carry on working.

The Clothing of world renown Fashion Designer, Paul Smith, are both highly sort after and aspired to own, like collectable pieces of art.  His customers/fans are not only incredibly loyal but border on fanatical with their interest in all his projects.

A Paul Smith suit has long been an object of desire in every style-conscious man’s wardrobe, not all managing to achieve this sartorial goal, but now Britain’s foremost designer has created something for every man’s fragrance wardrobe too: Paul Smith Essential.

Taking its inspiration from the simple elegance of fine tailoring – and with an eye firmly on the details – this woody and aromatic fragrance is the very embodiment of Paul Smith style: effortless, contemporary, surprising and eminently wearable. “Essential is for the man who demands the same things from his fragrance as he does from his clothing,” says Smith. “He’s gentlemanly but contemporary at the same time. He knows who he is and is confident with his sense of style, which is classic with a hint of surprise and a sometimes sense of humour.” It’s this balance of confident and classic with a twist of surprise – the very signature of Paul Smith – that inspired Paul Smith Essential.

A contemporary take on a traditional woody aromatic fragrance Paul Smith Essential opens with a crisp, clean ozonic accord and an invigorating burst of yuzu fruit before a trio of intensely aromatic notes (rosemary, clary sage and lavender) emerge to give Essential its distinct and deliciously herbal character. These, in turn, give way to a warm, masculine and woody base while musk gives Essential an irresistible, sensual edge.

The recent U.S. Open in New York on the hottest of hot days saw the launch of new New Tommy Hilfiger fragrance, TH Bold and the announcement of The King of Clay, Rafael Nadal, as the face and body of the brand’s underwear and suiting ranges.

The Majorcan tennis ace and winner of 14 Grand Slam singles titles, a record 27 ATP World Tour Masters 1000, and 15 ATP World Tour 500 tournaments, not bad hey, was announced as an ambassador for the brand. Nadal was chosen, not only just due to a long standing friendship with Hilfiger but because of his synergy with the new fragrance being both fresh and masculine, TH Bold is made for the rebel who plays to win.

The fragrance opens with a mix of crisp citrus notes including pomelo, tangerine and bergamot, followed by herbal and spicy notes like lavender and cardamom. As it develops further, extracts of jasmine and mandarin blossom balance with a woody Boronia accord.The drydown pairs orange flower absolute with powerfully masculine notes of cedar, sandalwood and vetiver, for a combination that excites the senses.

During the launch, where tough jock coach, actress, Jane Lynch played umpire, Rafael showed off the suiting range’s versatility by playing a ‘game’ in his own Rafael Nadal for Tommy Hilfiger Tailored suit only proving the point of its polished and refined nature, with a sartorial ease that’s effortlessly cool. Made from Italian navy wool flannel, the single-breasted silhouette features a straight shoulder and slim fit.

Every week we bring you the best in all things grooming, and style of course, and there must be times when you ask yourself, what another grooming brand ? What more great products that promise me I’m gonna look so much better ? But it’s true and the subject of today’s post only goes to reaffirm this matter.

Aesop is an all round amazing brand, their products are not only exemplary but their brand and packaging offer us a masterclass in how to present a luxury, aspirational and low key product in a completely desirable way.

Established in Melbourne in 1987 with a quest to create a range of superlative products for the skin, hair and body. They offer a commitment to use both plant-based and laboratory-made ingredients of the highest quality and proven efficacy – particularly those with the greatest anti- oxidant properties. Their products are available at signature stores across the globe, counters in selected coveted department stores, and at Aesop Online.

They apply intellectual rigour, sincerity and collective years of learning to What they do. Every product is made with the same attention to detail that they apply to all aspects of their company. Always advocating the appropriate use of their products as part of a healthy lifestyle that includes a well-considered diet, daily exercise, and certain therapeutic indulgences – including excellent red wine and inspiring music, of course.

Aesop has maintained a fiercely independent approach to product research and development from the outset and this has been put into practice in all aspects of the ranges they produce. They believe good skin is the byproduct of a healthy lifestyle, careful cleansing and appropriate hydration. Hormonal and genetic factors also play a role in the skin’s health and appearance, as do climate and pollution. As to with their hair care regime, to keep hair looking good, you must take care of the living elements – the roots and scalp – and maintain the mid- and end-lengths as you would with a piece of fine clothing. To complete the trinity Aesop’s range of body cleansers and hydrators was born of a desire to create products for the body that are gentle yet effective. We offer formulations suited to every type of skin.

All these elements are found in their latest emporium on Lambs Conduit Street in London’s West End, created in collaboration with local design studio James Plumb. Copper shelving runs along the retail area’s left wall, patinated to a rich dark tone and fitted with copper inserts that raise product display above a constant stream of water. Feeding back into their principle of using both plant-based and laboratory-made ingredients.
