Choosing a fragrance or cologne can be a very personal and sometimes overwhelming experience, but we can always trust Tom Ford.

Ford is known for his suits, but his signature fragrances have become almost a secret weapon for the modern man.

His cologne collection will make you feel like you’re wearing a tux – even if you’re just rocking a white tee shirt and jeans.

The original Tom Ford for Men fragrance, the dark and mysterious Black Orchid and the fresh (and perfect for spring) Grey Vetiver have been around for years – and now, Tom Ford is set to launch his latest addition to an already perfect line up.

NOIR EXTREME. A new cologne that embodies extreme sophistication while showcasing a mixture of woody, amber drenched elements. The cologne is spicy, but light with a rich blend of heat and citrusy notes. Mandarin oil, Neroli oil, and North African OrPur also help capture that exact moment when a man reaches extreme new heights. His sophistication becomes magnetic, transfixing the world at large.

This fragrance makes an impression – and leaves one as well – with notes like vibrant saffron, cardamom and nutmeg. Everything including the kitchen sink (or cabinet in this case).

NOIR EXTREME has a bottle similar to the original TOM FORD NOIR we discussed a few years back. The fragrance is contained in a rectangular bottle made from smoky black glass, with a bright gold cap.

Colognes have the ability to capture the attention of a room – whether you’re at the office or at a fancy-shmancy event. You should always look your best, but smelling your best – that will leave an impression.

Does beard growth oil work? What you should know

Man putting beard oil on his beard.

Growing the perfect beard is a lifelong quest for some, and though there are plenty of tips to help you grow a beard, sometimes you can benefit from a little outside intervention. You might have seen adverts for beard growth oil and wondered if that would help you grow a thicker and more lustrous beard, along with various other oils for softening or brushes and other tools to help maintain your skin.

There's a lot of options when it comes to the world of facial hair grooming, because for your beard to look full and well groomed, you need to not only trim it to the right shape but also make sure that both the hair and the skin of your face are well looked after and in good condition. You might also just need to be patient, as it can take some time for facial hair to grow in to the length that you want. The basic advice for growing in a beard that looks great are to give it time and make sure you're taking care of your health -- like getting enough sleep, eating a health diet, and taking exercise. But we all know we're supposed to do those things anyway, and there are some products that can help give your beard a nudge along the way.

How often should you change your razor blades?

It's a hassle and an annoyance, but when it comes to your daily shaving ritual something that you absolutely don't want to skip is changing out your razor blade. Trying to shave with a dull razor is bad for your skin and can cause razor bumps, plus creating a higher likelihood of problems like infections, and it will do a poor job of removing hair, resulting in a patchy shave. If you're not up for trying out a straight razor, then you'll need to get into the habit of regularly swapping out the replaceable blades on your razor or using fresh disposable razors instead. Knowing when to swap out your old blades for new ones will help keep your skin happy and your face looking its best, so our guide can help you work out how often you need to change your razor blades.

How often you should change your razor blades
According to the American Academy of Dermatologists, you should change your razor blades or throw away disposable razors after every five to seven shaves. High-quality razor blades should last five to seven shaves if you take care of them properly and keep them clean. However, cheaper disposable razors may wear out sooner.
Signs it’s time to change your razor blades include skin irritation after shaving, a less close shave, patchy areas or spots missed, skin that still feels rough after, dullness of the blades, feeling hairs are getting pulled instead of cut, and excessive friction of the blades across your skin that it feels like you have to drag it over your skin.
Moreover, a razor that has an accumulation of gunk that can’t be rinsed away should be immediately discarded, as this causes nicks and infections by dragging unevenly across your skin and introducing harbored bacteria into your pores.
