But if you have a gentleman in your life to gift, then here are some recos: - Fischersund fragrance sampler! Made by the lead of Sigur Ros, Jónsi, and his fam and closest friends. His dad even stamps the tins! Fragrances are rich, often smoky or leathery. Great for music fans who aspire to smell nice. - Solid perfume in a tin, also by our buds at Fischersund. Small enough to slip in the ol' pocket, and a v cool way to use a fragrance. Just rub a little on your skin. Done. - Clean and cozy beard oil (pictured above) - Ursa Major moisturizer. Made in Vermont, smells like Vermont, super-hydrating for cranky skin. Especially good for weird fall weather and cold winters (we featured this last weekend! A MUST BUY!) - Riddle Oil in Ex. A hypoallergenic fragrance oil in a handy little roller. Cardamom, sandalwood, light florals, moss and musk. Plz do not use this to tell someone you're dumping them. - Dilo Palo Santo fragrance. Woodsy, smoky, great for sharing with your partner, etc. etc. Consistent fan favorite at the shop. Stop in & shop or shop online!
