Smell Like Fall: Farmer’s Cologne

Fall smells better than any other season. It’s got all the things we love: leather coats, pigskin, scotch, beer, musky leaves and a hint of fireplace. Smell all that? It’s perfection. So really, there’s no reason to mess with it. Thing is, you can’t really rub all that stuff into your skin without also looking like you might be related to the unibomber. Enter Farmer’s Cologne from Portland General Store—it is the fragrance of fall in a flask.

They’ve mixed the essential oils of woods, leather, leaves, wildflowers and Earth (yup, soil!) in organic sugar cane resulting in a classic splash cologne. It appeals to our primal love of fall’s natural perfume (you may find yourself sniffing your wrists), but it’s subtle in its combination so you won’t smell like you’ve been rolling around in a pile of leaves (as in, it’s office friendly). Just a couple of dabs does the trick, so the 60ml bottle goes a long way.

Summer tattoo care

Summer is a great time to show some skin, but only if your skin is ready for prime time in the sun. It’s important to remember to apply the sunscreen — yes, we’re being a nudge about this — but if you’ve got some great ink to go with that beach bod you’ve been (endlessly) working on, it’s definitely the time to put it on display.
But it’s important to know the skincare rules for tattoos, too. They’re definitely different when it comes to summer, as any dermatologist will tell you. But many people have no experience at all with dermatologists for this aspect of skincare, so they don’t know what they don’t know. With that in mind, here’s the skinny on skincare for your tattoos now that summer’s here.
