The inspiration behind this blend is the distinguished, eighteenth century British botanist Dr.William Houstoun and his discovery of a tobacco plant specimen in South America. Houston, originally born in Renfrewshire, Scotland and who’s writings and plant specimens, now preserved in the botanical department of the British Museum was a leading botanist. Following in Houstoun’s footsteps Molton Brown when also sourced their hero ingredient for the same area. Redolent of Molton Brown’s own nature of uncovering the world’s rarest ingredients, Houstoun’s pioneering spirit is contemporised in this nuanced, earthy scent.The intriguing fragrance further enriches this season’s leading men’s collection by bringing to life the story of a modern botanist.

Creator of the scent, Elsa Chabert of Fragrances Essentielles, comments,“Tobacco Absolute is a complex, warm combination of woods, Paraguayan tobacco, balsam and musks lifted by a hint of citrus.The mature authenticity of tobacco absolute balances the sensual depth of Peru balsam as it intermingles with Argentinian grapefruit and bergamot for a subtle though decisive freshness.”

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.
