Acqua di Parma is perhaps our most featured grooming brand and that’s for good reason; they rarely miss the mark. Based on what we’ve sampled from their recent Signatures of the Sun collection, they’ve hit all the right notes again.

Acqua Di Parma Chinotto Di Liguria Review

By Alex Noble

The build-up to Christmas is a rare (special) time of year when spirits tend to be almost automatically lifted and the cold winter days are warmed by both positives vibes and countless cups of mulled wine.

Bvlgari Man Wood Essence

By Alex Noble

For those of you who reside in a city (I, myself, live in London), you’ll understand that these urban jungles can often become claustrophobic and a little intense. With the non-stop lives that many of us lead, we need a symbiosis between nature and urbanity more than ever. What’s often required is an escape; the […]

New Ted Baker Tonics Review

By Adam

In this day and age, us Chappers are constantly bombarded with scents, infusions and products of alchemy, each with their own overly-dramatic marketing story. Fragrances have become as much a nuisance as they have a necessity. So, when you find yourself a fragrance that you really like, hold on to it… We are very fond of the […]
