Legendary luxury brand Dunhill have released a new men’s fragrance aiming to be a new ‘Icon’. It’s Masculine, classic, confident, and stylish – and I’m just talking about the bottle!

At first glance the design for Dunhill Icon is clear – this is a men’s fragrance built for purpose, to sit comfortably and confidently alongside your signature watches, leather goods and executive toiletries. It holds all of the hallmarks of the Dunhill brand: the sleek silver casing (designed by Mark Eisen) has a classic, understated styling – reminiscent of timeless motoring & classic 50s cinema. This is a fragrance for men, not boys.

The importance of good grooming is something I can’t stress enough, but occasionally we all need a bit of extra motivation to take the time to keep our locks looking good. So praise be to God Buddha Cher that the team at one London’s most sought-after barbers, Soho’s ‘Joe & Co’, has joined forces with Fuller’s London Pride beer to add a bit of extra lubrication to your look - oooh, er!

The online fashion e-tailer that is ASOS has added another string to it’s bow; Grooming.

Now, it’s not the first time the online mega store has launched men’s grooming, ASOS has released a curated edit before but this time it’s relaunching with a bang - a new, refined edit of the best grooming brands around that will spruce up your skincare routine, make short work of shower time and and sharpen up your grooming game.

The guys at ASOS invited me along for breakfast to get to know the range better and to talk more about what grooming means the them.

The world loves a good collaboration. From musicians who can’t seem to make a song just by themselves, to fashion+celebrity ties ups, it’s fast becoming the new frontier of modern-day brand positioning - who are you good enough to work with?

Well, while I am currently on my ‘body-is-a-temple’ kick, I’m rather excited about the latest one to enter the fold; SodaStream and Dermalogica. This lifestyle duo are joining forces to help hydrate the nation - from the inside, out.

As you may have seen on my Instagram feed, the new Scaramouche & Fandango 4-in-1 SPORT wash has been a little hero of mine during my 30 Day Challenge. This multi-tasking master can be used for washing your hair, face and body as well as a handy shave cream - it’s a must for any avid gym-goer or sports player. It saves time, hassle and space in your kit bag!

Packed with energising extracts of caffeiene, this wash packs a nifty little punch. Taking care of everything you got, the Guar Gym moisturises and conditions while also allowing for a close shave.

You can get the Scaramouche & Fandango 4-in1 Sports Wash on Amazon. It’s also available in a nifty Men’s Sports Pack with a matching Men’s Wash Bag.

Scaramouche & Fandango are fast become a brand to watch as they slowly lay a firm foundation in the accessible price-point market for male grooming. They have a great range of products from moisturisers to washes and conditions as well as an awesome travel pack for holidays.

They’ve also just got a really great brand ethos; to put he simple back into male grooming. They strive to remove all of the jargon and buzzwords that don’t mean anything to us average folk and offer a neat, direct range of usuable products.

I recommend checking out their site, scaramoucheandfandango.com, for more info.

While in Mexico, my only problem was severely underestimating the temperatures and the amount of sun I would be exposed to. I had definitely not packed enough sun protection. Thankfully I was given a gift pack from Uriage to help me look after my skin in the heat of the day. I’d never come across Uriage before, but I have been mightily impressed with their range!
