Fragrance gift ideas, continued…

Posted by Robin on 29 November 2005 9 Comments

Another one for the men: a shaving set from Geo F. Trumper with a Warwick Mach 3 razor and matching stand, a badger hair brush, a bottle of their Sandalwood cologne, Sandalwood shaving cream, and Sandalwood Hair & Body Wash for £195.


And sandalwood for the traveller: a Caswell Massey Sandalwood Sampler set with shampoo, bath gel, body lotion, talcum powder, lip balm and soap. A bargain at $12.50, available at beautycafe.


For the chocoholic: five 16 ml bottles of chocolate essences by Via del Profumo, including Chocolate Amber, Chocolate Spicy, Chocolate Orange, Chocolate Mint and Cocoa. $115 at b-glowing.


I couldn't resist this one: a cow-shaped chocolate milk soap from Gianna Rose. $19 at hamptonct.


More sweets for the stocking: Javabalm lip balm in Coffee Mocha. $3.69 at drugstore.com.

    Oh, very nice. May I suggest another scented gift idea for gentlemen? The L'occitane Fig shower milk: it's not the fruity fig style scent, it's of smokey fig leaves. One of my husband's must-haves, but he was introduced to it through a gift last year for Christmas.

    K, that sounds like it is perfect for me, actually — will have too look for it next time I'm at L'Occitane, thanks!

    Me too! The cow shaped soap is too adorable. It made me smile this morning. 🙂 I am afraid that I would not want to use it and it will just be a decoration.

    LOL — my son would have no such qualms & would use up my $19 soap in short order.
