DKNYMEN Fragrance Collection

DKNY, the brand all things NYC introduces a new men's scent destined to be as iconic as the Manhattan skyline. Strong and vibrant, edged with mystery and adventure, this new scent speaks to the man who lives to conquer the city he calls home.

A twist of bergamot and mandarin, to get you started, the feeling of cool city rain with clary sage , the emotion ... fast, a spicy note of white pepper and cardamon. A downtown lavender vibe infuses with violet leaves, while wet jasmin drenches with sophistication. Yhe man ... sculpted sandalwood combines with cedarwood and patchouli. The structure of modern luxury is redefined by orris and vetyver for a masculine edge.

The DKNYMEN bottle is an evocation of the Iron Flat building, an iconic city landmark, clean with sharp lines. The gray tented glass evokes the romance of a black and white photo. The bottle is finished with a concrete and metal feeling of gunmetal texture band on a silver-toned cap.

Completing the new DKNYMEN fragrance collection are two modern grooming essentials. After shave gel and Body wash. Available in stores beginning March 2009.

Music to your earsby Steven Carver

Constructed entirely from ceramic, the Phonofone II is clever piece of applied science, a beautiful icon of nostalgia, and a twist on personal listening devices.

Through passive amplification, these unique pieces instantly transform any personal music player and earbuds into a sculptural audio console. Upon connecting active earphones to the Phonofone II, the music instantly transforms into a warm, rich, and resonant sound.

Without the use of external power or batteries, the Phonofone II inventively exploits the virtues of horn acoustics to boost the audio output of standard earphones to up to 55 decibles (or roughly the maximum volume of laptop speakers).

And, to ensure the Phonofone II is a piece of audible art, each piece is signed and contains a serial edition number. For more information, visit scienceandsons.com

Bodygroomby Aleksandar Tomovic

The Philips Norelco Bodygroom is the all-in-one grooming solution, exclusively for men, that safely trims and shaves all body zones. With the Bodygroom, men can trim and shave hair from their chest & abs, underarms, groin area, legs, back and shoulders.

We did get the chance to test it and have been using it since. It is the best thing outthere for body grooming.

Lifelab Skincare

LifeLab facial skincares, with a single action, and a single application can replace numerous products normally on offer for men such as after-shave, anti-wrinkle creams, moisturiser, cream for dark circles and eye bags, refreshing and toning products. Tried it , Loved it.

Presenting BODY TOOLS

Changing shave creams usually leads to big disappointment; so you end up running back to your old products... maybe Gillette is the best man can get. Enter merchandising guru Al Wines, Jr. and Dr. Steven May with Body Tools, a line of products designed to add "skin care" to "nutrition" and "fitness" as the keys to "anti-aging", and healthy living. The shave Cream with Tea Tree and Aloe is the smoothest, most balanced, knick-reducing cream we've found on the market. The line is comprised of everything you need for hair, body, and face care. Just think, this could be the last time you ever switch shaving creams...ever.

Dior Homme // Dermo System

The system, by Hedi Slimane, called Dermo system, consists of four products: a hydrating toner, serum, moisturizer and an eye cream dispensed directly on the skin via an applicator resembling a click pen. Retail prices are $51 for eye serum, $62 for 100 ml of toner or 50 ml of moisturizer, or $96 for 50 ml serum. 20-year-old American model named Ambrose was photographed by Slimane himself.

Comodynes Convenient Cosmetics

When it comes to miracles, there are not many taking place nowadays, but there is one brand that makes certain things really simple and available to everyone. The brand is called Comodynes, and today we have picked two that sound the best.

Self-Tanning towelettes, made of DHA - sugar which activates the keratin in your skin & 100% natural fibers. We have tried it and it makes miracles in 3 hours...

Body Reducer Slimming matches. We did not get the chance to test those but it sounds promising. Those are made of active fat-breaking agents: carnitine, caffeine, focus and a complex based on coffee, cocoa and green tea, which promotes their reductive activity. What is your experience with it?
