THÉ NOIR 29. The cologne is an ode to the noble leaf and the craft that surrounds it.

The fragrance hits the mark – deep, but fresh – soft – but still strong with the help of bergamot, fig, bay leaves and cedar wood. Vetiver and musk also make an appearance.

Perfect for the office, that upcoming holiday party, a hot date….

So if you are looking for something a little different, or need a little adventure – put down your usual spray and head into winter smelling fresh.

Dean Bell hits the road and talks men’s grooming

Adult, Male, Man

Dean Bell is a guy many people know from The Bachelor and The Bachelor in Paradise. He has since updated his image as an influencer searching for adventure. That search has led him to partner with Chevron this summer in celebration of the country’s 250th birthday. In addition to helping many drivers keep their engines in top shape this summer with his support of the gas, he is teaching us something he is adopting this season: Men’s grooming and skincare. As he gets a little older, he is figuring out, with the help of his wife (like most of us), the importance of taking care of his skin. But how is he doing that on the road this year? And how can we learn from his experience?

That’s what grooming is at the end of the day when it comes to skincare. You are basically keeping to your skin as youthful as you possibly can. – Dean Bell

Grooming is on its biggest stage with World Cup 2026

Ball, Football, Soccer

We don’t talk enough about men’s grooming. Skincare, haircare, nails, and teeth are all important for your personal appearance and overall health. Typically, we tend to put it on the back burner while we focus our time on things with a more measurable return on time investment. Sure, we used to get away with this because guys like John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, and Paul Newman were regarded as examples of the rugged male aesthetic that didn’t need the attention to moisturizing and conditioning. Nowadays, though, men like George Clooney and Brad Pitt are seen as sex symbols deep into their sixties, and it is largely thanks to skincare. Recently, if you have been watching the World Cup, you may have noticed a focus on the grooming marketing. That is because Unilever has launched its largest activation ever with a sponsorship of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The FIFA World Cup 2026™ will be the most socially connected and inclusive tournament in our history. Football today lives in real time, in culture and on social platforms – and this tournament is designed to be experienced, shaped and shared by fans wherever they are. – Romy Gai, Chief Business Officer, FIFA

Your dad’s favorite gift may be smelling good

Bottle, Cosmetics, Perfume

As Father’s Day sneaks up on you (hopefully it isn’t sneaking up on you since we have been putting Father’s Day gift guides and articles with ideas for a few weeks here), there is a tendency to go for the old faithfuls dads seem to have always gotten. Ties. Mugs. Tools. And, of course, the always classic Old Spice cologne. The same cologne his dad got. The same cologne his grandfather got when your dad couldn’t figure out what to get him. It is time to do something different. Sure, a man wants to smell good, and buying him a cologne is a great gift. But you can do it the regular way, or you can go above and beyond by letting him make his own choices (I’m not talking about a gift card). Olfactory NYC is the kind of gift your dad is looking for this year.
