Grooming -- 1 day ago
We are all guilty of bathroom shelves heaving with products we never really use. So we’ve picked three absolute grooming essentials that every man should own. Simplify your life.Mrs White’s Absolute Gentleman Moisturiser Beau Brummell, the elegant father of Dandyism, advocated that a man should only polish his boots with champagne and wash daily. New gentleman’s brand, Mrs White’s, has got the latter covered with her Absolute Gentleman Moisturiser for Men which keeps skin nourished and hydrated.The tonic is made in England using 100% natural ingredients, patchouli, frankincense, fennel, apricot oil, English beeswax, lavender and rose. It bundles up all the natural remedies for refinement in one. Everything about it, from its name and ingredients to its brown glass bottle is synonymous with good, old English tradition. So whether you peg yourself as a dandy, a flaneur or just a modern day gent we can guarantee there will be something in it for you.
Moisturiser for Men, £15, from roullierwhite.comAnnick Goutal Eau de MonsieurOriginally created in 1980 by Annick Goutal, Eau de Monsieur has been reinterpreted by her daughter Camille Goutal to adding a modern twist to a classic scent. The fragrance includes fresh top notes of mandarin, bergamot and mint with a rich and fiery heart of geranium and spices. It’s finished with a deep, warm base of cypress, sandalwood and patchouli base which lingers on your skin.
Eau de Monsieur, £93, from annickgoutal.comTaylor of Old Bond Street Shaving CreamRich, luxurious shave cream, with a traditional masculine scent, which creates a unique, smooth and creamy lather when applied with a good quality shaving brush. This one has been around for a while, but you gain confidence in knowing that generations of men, fathers, grandfathers and great grandfathers have all groomed under the same lather (if you get our drift). It also comes without a hefty price-tag to suit an Englishman’s stiff upper lip.
