Here at The Manual we love a good beard oil or pomade. They’re great for moisturizing, adding shine to your hair, and taming an unruly beard or wild head of hair.

One of our new favorite brands for grooming and skincare products is Decoded Artisans in Southern California. These guys are rightfully called artisans because everything they make is made by their very own pair of hands.

Decoded Artisans owner and founder Marcus Asmar began building the brand in 2013 and has seen success ever since. It started out as just a regular hobby for Asmar but obviously it has transformed into much more. All of the countless hours spent on projects, photo shoots, product development, and testing finally paid off. Now men like us and you are treating their manes and facial hair with luxury grooming products like oils, pomades, and mustache waxes made by the hands of a true artisan and creative. According to Asmar, “Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.” It’s the best or nothing for a brand that prides itself on craftsmanship and staying true to their name.

Decoded’s latest chapter of their journey was just released last month in the form of a promotional video for their new pomade line (Check it out below!). It’s a pomade that gives your hairdo a max hold that won’t crumble in the heat of the California sunshine.

It’s fast-drying, water soluble, and can either have a matte or shine finish depending on the amount of water you add when styling. It’s also made with a fresh scent labeled as “Morning Dew” – a fresh cucumber and honey dew scent that will keep you hair smelling clean and fresh through the entirety of your day.

Pomade isn’t the only thing cooking up at Decoded’s shop. As we said before, Decoded also crafts a line of beard oils and mustache waxes. They’re both made to moisturize and mold, but they also come with a variety of fresh scents. You can choose from Atlantic Chill, Citrus Redwood, Dark Forest, Earth Tones, Meadow Breeze, and Morning Dew. All are as manly as the other with burly scents and sweet undertones of fruit and citrus.

Decoded also makes some really great home products and accessories for men. You can buy a set of four coasters to rest on your coffee table or an art print made by one of Decoded’s very own artisans to hang on your bedroom wall. You can also wear Decoded around your waist in the form of a leather belt or as a key ring for your car keys. One of their coolest products aside from their grooming line is the selvedge, denim apron. It’s made to order, durable enough for any project, and practical enough to wear in the kitchen.

With that said, Decoded Artisans is ready to get back to work. According to the brand, “The thing we lose patience with the most is the clock… Its hands move too fast.

The box of the Versace The Dreamer for Men 3.4 oz Eau de Toilette Spray.

Searching for your trademark scent among all the men's cologne sales in the market is a tough task, which is why we highly recommend checking out our guide on how to choose cologne for men. While some men may want to smell like a dive bar with the Miller High Life Dive Bar-Fume, a cologne made by a luxury fashion house like Versace is a safer bet. That may sound like an expensive idea, but fortunately we've found two deals from Amazon that will let you enjoy huge savings so you can try out Versace cologne without breaking the bank.

If you hurry, you can get the Versace The Dreamer for only $38, for savings of $42 on its original price of $80, and the Versace Eros Flame for just $47, following a $33 discount on a similar sticker price of $80. You should hurry if you want to take advantage of either offer though, because we're not sure how much time is remaining before they expire. If you keep delaying your purchase, you may miss out on this chance to get them for a more affordable price than usual.

Mix and match: Cologne layering combinations that smell amazing together
These cologne combos create a scent as unique as you are
Fragrance bottles

Layering fragrances is an art, not an exact science. Combining two independently amazing scents to create something greater than the sum of its parts can be achieved in millions of ways and will depend on what colognes you have at your disposal. The task of mixing and matching scents requires some creativity on your part, and a wee bit of background knowledge. A good layered fragrance requires notes that match and blend together well, so some insight into cologne notes will prevent you from spraying on an incompatible mix. 

Whether you’re new to layering fragrances or just need new ideas for what to mix, we’re here to help. These tried-and-true cologne laying combinations include niche, high-end, popular, and affordable colognes that smell like they were made for each other.
