Jack Black Blue Mark Cologne
The Jack Black Blue Mark cologne ($70) is a fresh, minty, and herbal-smelling summer scent that has a lot of similarities to the New York cologne from Brooks Brothers, and not just because the bottles look similar. What both scents have in common is their freshness, although I think Blue Mark takes the cake in that...
Paco Rabanne 1 Million Intense Cologne
Déjà vu, am I right? Well, kinda. Paco Rabanne apparently sold so much of their “1 Million” that they made an entirely new cologne called…basically the same thing. Paco Rabanne 1 Million Intense is an offshoot of their cologne, and seeing as I liked (and still enjoy) the original, I thought the version 2.0 would be...
Prada Luna Rossa Cologne
The 2013 America’s Cup is underway as of yesterday, and if you’re not familiar with the event, it’s basically the World Series of boat racing. Since 1851, teams have battled it out on the water for a trophy that is historically dominated by the New York Yacht Club. However, each competition there are no shortage...
Paco Rabanne 1 Million Set
The Paco Rabanne 1 Million scent is one of those rare birds that works well with a cologne, aftershave, and body wash. The whole set works fantastic as a trio, but the major downside to all this is the price–it’s not cheap. Due to this downside, I’d generally recommend you just get the cologne and the...
Brut: Deodorant, Splash-on, and Cologne
For this review, I thought I’d cover three Brut products at once: the Brut deodorant, splash-on, and cologne. Mostly, I made this choice because they’re all pretty much the same thing. Additionally, I have pretty much the same opinion on them: grooming purgatory. Brut was founded in the 1960’s, and they’ve maintained a consistent presence in...
Keep Your Scents Straight with Lisa of Portland General Store
You may remember the name Portland General Store from some of our reviews of their stuff in the past, and they continue to do some really interesting things with all-natural ingredients. Recently, I talked with Lisa, one of the co-founders of Portland General Store, about everything from making scents to matching them. I thought she...
Brooks Brothers New York Cologne
I’m not the type of guy who uses a ton of colognes, but I certainly find the value in having one type that I can call my “neutral” smell. This cologne from Brooks Brothers has remained my “neutral” for about a year and a half. The Brooks Brothers New York cologne is one that I...
Portland General Store: Cologne
Today we break new ground into the cologne world. Portland General Store (PGS) was kind enough to send over a huge box of some really great products (more reviews of those coming soon), and since I haven’t reviewed a cologne yet, I figured this should be the first one. I haven’t kept away from colognes because...
