Honor the special man in your life this Father’s Day with a thoughtful gift of fragrance. These Makeup Bag favorites are sure to put a smile on dad’s face without making a dent in your wallet:

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Pour Homme

Winner of the 2008 Fifi Fragrance of the Year Award, D&G Light Blue Pour Homme is a refreshing blend of citrus, woods and spice. ($40)

L’eauparKenzo Homme eau Indigo

The newest fragrance from Kenzo, the brand responsible for my most favorite Kenzo Amour, L’eauparKenzo Homme eau Indigo is a sensual scent with notes of ginger, coriander, elemi, vetiver, cedar and tonka bean. ($55)

Jo Malone Amber & Lavender Cologne

I first bought Jo Malone Amber & Lavender Cologne for my husband in  2005. It’s a gorgeous amber scent combined with French lavender and myrrh that can be worn alone or layered with other scents. ($100)

Aramis Classic

This classic woody, leather fragrance was on my dad’s dresser for years. A masculine, everyday scent that appeals to many, Aramis is a timeless gift. ($72)

DKNYMen

DKNYMen is a modern fragrance that just debuted this spring. This is the scent that Janey chose to give her daddy for Father’s Day (sshhh!) after sniffing dozens of men’s cologne at Sephora. The notes include citrus, spices, textured florals and sensuous woods. ($65)

I’ve found the secret to the smoothest shave ever. EVER.

Gillette recently introduced their newest razor, Venus Embrace, and I am in razor heaven. With five spring-mounted blades to hug every curve of the leg, the cartridge sits flat against the skin for the closest possible shave (also making nicks nearly impossible).

The Venus Embrace also has a protective ribbon of moisture that surrounds the shave, but I’ve been using my husband’s LAB Series for Men Maximum Comfort Shave Cream and my legs have never been smoother.

The LAB Series for Men Maximum Comfort Shave Cream is fragrance and paraben free and a little goes a very long way.

The New Gillette Venus Embrace (including a shower pod and two refill cardridges) is available online at Drugstore.com for $12.99.

Currently, my husband can’t get enough of these LAB Series products.

For several months he’s been obsessed with the Daily Moisture Defense Lotion SPF15, which I could not be happier about. Knowing that he’s protected with an SPF while he’s in Hawaii makes me feel a teeny-tiny bit better about him being gone. (For those of you that don’t know, my husband spends over 50% of his time in Hawaii for business.)

What he likes about the Daily Moisture Defense Lotion SPF15 is that it doesn’t leave his skin feeling greasy or sunscreen-y, even in the humid Hawaii weather. Also? With a brand made specifically for men, his friends can’t harass him about his “beauty products”.

LAB Series Skincare for Men is available at department stores and online at labseries.com.
