Candles just got a little bit more masculine. And sexy.
Tom Ford launched a line of limited-edition wick burners to his acclaimed Private Blend Collection, a set of 12 unisex scents. Don’t expect girly smells like lavender and grass here — this set wafts of Oud Wood, Tobacco Vanille, Noir de Noir and Neroli Portofino. The candles burn each release one of Tom’s blends into any room you like with the strike of a match (or flick of a Bic).

The first time I laid eyes on Vincent Cassel was during a movie session with my little sister, who picked up the French film “Irreversible”, which he headlined with real-life wife Monica Bellucci.
Cassel is handsome — in an odd, uneven, Gallic way — and I figure it’s his piercing blue eyes that got him signed as YSL Beaute’s newest fragrance face.
In unlikely beauty collaboration news, American cosmetics brand Avon teamed up with Ironman to launch a signature men’s fragrance collection.
This Ironman fragrance collection — whose tagline is “Anything is Possible” — consists of an eau de toilette spray, after-shave balm and deodorant, all of which will officially debut just before the big Ford Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona in Hawaii this October.

Gone are the days when men sneak into their ladies’ bathroom cabinets for a squirt of body wash or a scoop of La Mer.
More and more, men are turning to brands like Jack Black, Anthony Logistics and French-based Sothys Homme, particularly that latter because of the brand’s male-friendly ingredient phytomalt, a hydroglycolic complex that comes from the distilled malt of Scottish whiskey.

The metrosexual contingent was spawned by the acceptance of men (by other men) using moisturizers, colognes (and not that cheap Brut stuff from the drugstore), lip balms and cuticle cream.
Most boyfriends and husbands will lie through their teeth when asked whether they used the last dollop of your Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream on that dry patch underneath their right sideburn.
