Paco Rabanne 1 Million Intense Cologne

Paco Rabanne 1 Million Intense Cologne

Déjà vu, am I right? Well, kinda. Paco Rabanne apparently sold so much of their “1 Million” that they made an entirely new cologne called…basically the same thing. Paco Rabanne 1 Million Intense is an offshoot of their cologne, and seeing as I liked (and still enjoy) the original, I thought the version 2.0 would be...

The December 2013 Playlist

I suppose I like holiday music just as much as the next guy, but we need options–let’s be real. This December 2013 playlist will give hopefully give you some good alternatives to the standard holiday staples we’re all going to hear a million times.

Vikingfjord Vodka: Smooth, Unlike a Viking

Vikingfjord Vodka: Smooth, Unlike a Viking

When I saw the name “Vikingfjord vodka,” I was certain this was going to be near jet fuel–I mean, I don’t see Vikings sipping a Manhattan. Also: flavored vodka? I thought this was a website for dudes. However, I’ll give almost anything a shot, so away we went. You can smell the apple in this when...
Soxfords: The Ivy League of Socks

Soxfords: The Ivy League of Socks

I’m a simple guy, with simple pleasures. Among them are: copying signatures, smelling baking bread, and wearing fun socks. Soxfords happens to be experts in making fun socks, so I had to give them a shot. Pictured above are their “choco chip mints” socks, which are light green with black spots and some ice cream...

Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey: The Sweet Spirit

Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey: The Sweet Spirit

When you think “whiskey,” what are some words that come to mind? I’d be willing to bet “sweet” wasn’t one of them. That’s what made testing Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey so strange: its sweetness. The Kilbeggan distillery has been chugging along since its original license was issued in 1757. Over 250 years later, they’re still doing...
Star Wax Clay

Star Wax Clay

There’s something kind of unsettling about photographing a vegan hair product on a leather ottoman, but what can I say? I’m a barbarian. The Star Wax clay is actually one of the better clays I’ve used, despite a few red flags: vegan, water-based, and “professional.” Vegan products are great for the environment, and if you’re into...
