Deodorants: So fresh and so clean

So fresh and so clean

Keep the stink at bay with some great deodorants.

Summer isn’t only about linen suits, funky T-shirts and snazzy pyjamas. It’s also about heat, sweat and the almighty stink that arises. How many times have you got into an elevator and gagged at the rancid musk coming from your colleagues? The sad truth is that far too many men are too macho to admit that they smell, and even fewer are willing to do anything about it. The good news is that great deodorants are available which not only keep you smelling of roses but also keep you feeling fresh through the day. Try these, be cool, and smell good.

Fragrance

Playboy fragrances come to India.

Hot bunnies, fast cars, and the Playboy mansion. Who doesn’t want to be Hugh Hefner? The iconic adult entertainment company, Playboy Enterprises ties up with Coty to launch their new range of fragrances in India. The four masculine scents—Hollywood, Malibu, Miami and Vegas come in bottles embossed with the ubiquitous Playboy bunny logo. While Hollywood is an oriental woody scent with citrus, rosewood and cedar as its top notes, Malibu is for the beach guy in you: cool and fresh, with top notes of apple and mint. Miami, with top notes of bergamot and ozone, is a fragrance fit for the workplace, and Vegas, the seductive, strong party fragrance, is a blend of basil, musk and vanilla. Strictly for those who love to live it up.
