The Diary: Gentleman's Journal Grooming Awards breakfast

The Diary: Gentleman's Journal Grooming Awards breakfast

Held in partnership with John Bell & Croyden, the 2025 Grooming Awards breakfast brought together those in the know when it comes to looking your best

Words: Zak Maoui

Each year we assess what's in, and what's out, when it comes to men's grooming. The industry is awash with new launches, whether it be a new miracle serum, cleanser or all-rounder, and we took it upon ourselves to trial a shortlist of entries to see what's actually good for your hair, skin and nails.

Well, with the results in (see more here), we thought we'd host a little breakfast, held in association with John Bell & Croyden, down at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower to toast the winners, and bring together a host of likeminded individuals who know their face cream from their foot cream.

With brand representatives from the likes of Jo Malone and Augustinus Bader mingling with beauty in-the-knows Ola Owosika and Jacob Seikell, the conversation was in full flow. Check it out below...
