For Your Guy: Armani Attitude Extreme

Attitude Extreme

If this ad alone isn’t enough to make you run out and get your man a bottle of Armani Attitude Extreme then I don’t know what to say.

I’m thinking of blowing this up to life-size proportions and hanging it on the wall in my office. Good idea, no?

Attitude Extreme Bottle

Attitude Extreme is a more intense version of Armani Attitude. Here’s what the brand says about this new fragrance:

“The woody oriental has been reworked to display masculinity in a more sensual, pronounced way. Its strong and elegant expression leaves an unforgettable, lasting imprint.
The Sicilian Lemon top note is cloaked in the star anise note and cardamom giving off a spicy, aromatic burst of infinite richness and freshness.
At the heart, the coffee-cedar accord is shaken up with incense whose purity exudes a warm sensuality.
The base is enhanced with smooth, woody ambergris and mysterious, enveloping Indonesian Patchouli creating a truly desirable combination”

Armani Attitude Extreme is available online at GiorgioArmaniBeauty-USA.com.

If you’re stumped for a Father’s Day gift that won’t break the bank, try one of these great men’s hair products. Dad can always use shampoo and conditioner and these are a bit more special than his usual drugstore brand:

Aveda Grooming Traditions

My dad loved Aveda products and would have appreciated this Aveda Grooming Traditions gift set. Included is Aveda Men Pure-formanceTM Shampoo, Aveda Men Pure-formanceTM Grooming Clay, and a wooden styling brush.

Ojon Tawaka Ancient Tribal Rejuvenating Cleanser

I love how masculine this bottle of Ojon Tawaka Cleanser is. This sulfate-free, antioxidant-rich cleanser moisturizes the face, body and hair while protecting from harmful free-radical damage.

Not only are these hair products top notch, but stop by any participating Redken salon through Father’s Day and receive a FREE Electronic Station Kit with any purchase of two Redken for Men products (while supplies last).
