Men are often a little bit clueless when it comes to grooming products and need a little push in the right direction. With Christmas coming up, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to show you our four favourite gifts for the guys.
The Fragrance
Issey Miyake L’Homme Noir Absolu Limited Edition
Rich wood is completed by amber sillage in this elegantly masculine fragrance from Issey Miyake. L’Homme Noir Absolu is housed in a strong, straight lined bottle tempered by slight curvature. Black lacquer cloaks the bottle while gold detailing provokes elegance and prestige.
We love this heady new limited edition fragrance for men, it captures a sort of majesty only few fragrances are capable of.
Available exclusively from Myer (100ml – $139.00)
The intelligent groomer
VS Sassoon i-clip Automatic
VS Sassoon have revolutionised hair clippers for men yet again. This incredible, automated, cordless hair clipper has 33 cutting length settings with no attachments needed. An LCD visual indicator shows the cutting length setting, comb grade selection, power usage and battery life remaining. Every thing needed for a flawless clip is at your fingertips.
We love the sleek, compact design; it is perfect for travelling and won’t take up precious bathroom storage space!
Available from department stores, electrical stores and selected chemists ($99.95)
The hair styling experts
L’Oreal Professionnel Homme Mat and Clay
Men have different needs when it comes to hair care. L’Oreal have recognised this and created a range of products that are pliable, light-weight and don’t leave any unwanted residues.
Mat is the ultimate styling tool for texture and control. It leaves a clean, matte finish and adds texture to dull hair without leaving hair stiff. Enriched with wheat protein and starches, it nourishes the hair as well as styles it.
L’Oreal Homme Clay is a unique cream-clay formula that will create bulk in the hair with an extra matte finish and maximum hold. Beeswax creates remarkable density while Kaolin Clay instantly grips and leaves a matte surface finish.
