Valentine's Day: A Gift That Keeps on Giving

Valentine's Day is slowly creeping up, which all women know is the perfect excuse to get your guy something you want him to wear! This year we've decided that our guys should embrace cologne. Not the stinky, omg-you belong on the Jersey Shore-kind, but something he'll love that fits his personality. Here are our picks!

For the Modern Sophisticate
For Valentine’s Day, find the perfect fragrance for him with the romance and sparkling freshness of Zegna Colonia. From the Italian luxury design house of Ermenegildo Zegna, Zegna Colonia captures “La Dolce Vita” lifestyle without the cost of a trip to Italy. Zegna Colonia is a fresh and masculine scent composed of neroli, bergamot, cardamom, cedar and musk notes. It’s timeless and classic and you and your special guy can both enjoy!  
Colonia is available for $70 at Zegna boutiques.

For the Smoldering Romantic
Evoke the inner McDreamy in your guy and try Patrick Dempsey’s collaboration with Avon—Patrick Dempsey 2. Inspired by his profound connection with his wife, Avon Global Creative Color Director Jillian Dempsey, his new fragrance is the sophisticated and matured version of the original Patrick Dempsey. With top notes of saffron, mandarin and nutmeg, mild notes of spiced wood accord, green fig and cistus, and a base of patchouli, Patrick Dempsey 2 is a sensual and powerful fragrance for your valentine. 

Patrick Dempsey 2 is available for $35 at www.avon.com

For the Rugged Risk-Taker
For the bold man in your life, celebrate his charisma this Valentine’s Day with Diesel Only The Brave. Inspired by Diesel founder, Renzo Rosso, and his pioneering spirit, Only The Brave is a scent for the man who takes a stand and seizes life’s opportunities. Let the fist-shaped bottle tell his story: facing forward it evokes power and energy; upright it stands for self-affirmation; raised, it signifies victory, success, and engagement. The courageous scent is infused with top notes of lemon blossom, mandarin, coriander leaves; a heart of labdanum; and dry down notes of amber, tolu wood and ebony wood. 

Diesel is available for $65 at Diesel boutiques
