Perry Ellis Launches New Fragrance

The summer months are good for lighter, crisp fragrances, while the colder months are generally associated with deeper, richer colognes. Thankfully, for the first time in three years Perry Ellis, the cool and preppy sportswear line is launching a new scent that is the perfect transitional cologne.

The scent is fresh and rugged, perfect for that transition from summer to fall with it’s complex ingredients which transition from a lighter citrus scent to a deeper woodsy fragrance. The eau de toilette starts with a bitter orange note, and some other notes you are likely to find in your pantry – or your Mantry, such as cardamom, coriander and clary sage.

The scent develops into warmer notes of fir, mint, cedar wood and lavender before finishing off with base notes of sandalwood, patchouli, white moss, tonka bean, amber and musk. It’s like a nature retreat in a bottle.

The bottle is not too shabby either – a sleek minimalist black metal container with a teal glass “dot” will fit in just fine in your man bathroom. The “dot” by the way, is a Perry Ellis signature, perfect for representing the brand’s legacy and playfulness.

Fall is all about shedding old ways and starting new ventures, so head over to PerryEllis.com to give the women a little something new to whiff.  The fragrance is currently on pre-order and will be available to ship on the 21st of August.

Iconic monsters define the latest Dr. Squatch soaps
Dr. Squatch gets monstrous for its latest soap release
Dr. Squatch Godzilla King soaps

When it comes to new soap releases and the role that marketing plays in the clean-up process, breaking down a Dr. Squatch promo is like entering a unique portal where some of the specifics take some very different twists and turns.
That’s definitely the case for this release, which features a pair of iconic monsters: Godzilla and King Kong. They’re inspired by last year’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which redefined this old-school sci fi rivalry by bringing in over $500 million at the box office.

ALTAIA’s Woo(E)D features exotic international fragrances
ALTAIA is an Italian company with an international approach to fragrances
ALTAIA WOO(E)D men's cologne

With a product name that leans heavily into the concept of seduction, ALTAIA is taking an intriguing approach to masculinity in its latest eau de parfum release. There’s more than a little ambiguity behind the “who seduces who?” question behind the name, and the foundation fragrances are designed to enhance and deepen that mystery.
ALTAIA is an Italian company with a flair for internationally-based fragrances, so it isn’t completely surprising that the foundation here consists of a combination of Atlas cedar, Gaiac wood, and cistus. This combination is well worth exploring, so let’s go there.

Not the usual woody foundation fragrances
 
While cedar might feel familiar as a foundation ingredient in men’s fragrances, this particular version is different.  Atlas cedar is native to the Atlas mountains in Algeria and Morocco, and it’s prized for having a warm scent that also offers a hint of delicate sweetness.
Gaiac wood is equally unique. It comes from a tree native to South America, and its smoky, sweet scent blends with both its woody cousin and the leather in the next layer. It offers traces of amber, too, and in its natural form this versatile, super-hard wood is used in both tool handles and traditional medicine.
Cistus has its own special origins, too. It grows wild in the areas around the Mediterranean, and it produces labdanum, a sticky resin that’s a staple of the perfume and fragrance world. It’s often used to support wood fragrances in the base layer, so it’s not surprising to see it turn up here. Perfumers see it as both cozy and romantic, hence the appeal in a fragrance that seeks to evoke this level of romanticism.
After an early April release, WOO(E)D is now available in the US. It is available in 100 mL  quantities for $230. It’s an expensive offering, but ATLAIA is hoping it will entice younger buyers, especially, to try some of the company’s other unusual fragrances.
