I hear that men are difficult to buy for, so here are a few suggestions. Big or small, luxe or basic, the most important thing is to keep it personal. And a little romantic.
Frederic Malle Bois D’Orage. Called “French Lover” outside of the U.S., this thoroughly masculine fragrance is bold enough to draw you in and refined enough to keep you there.
Coach Waxed Nylon Aviator Jacket. For a romantic spring weekend getaway. (In a handsome shade of red.)
Le Gramme Le 15 Brushed Yellow-Gold Cuff. Pure extravagance.
Nice Laundry Sock Drawer Makeover. Because every man loves new socks, and nearly every man needs them.
Baccarat Harcourt 1841 Old Fashion Tumbler. Give him his favorite whisky glass (and one for you too). The oldest design in the famed French glassmaker’s archive, it’s sparkling and satisfyingly heavy in the hand, but not the least bit fussy.
Le Labo Santal 33 Massage Oil. A warm and calming fragrance from a fine artisanal perfumer. The rest is up to you.
Edwin Jagger Shaving Set. Luxury and style for the morning ritual.
Coach Bleecker Luggage Tag. To remind him that out of sight isn’t out of mind. And a (free) monogram makes it more personal.
Swaine Adeney Brigg Chestnut Wood-Handle Umbrella. Because rain brings luck to romantic endeavors.
