Aftershave of the week

A new feature to the blog this week. We have done our best to get you to look good so far at 50WordsOn, now we just need to sort out that smell...

 

Today we are looking at a classic fragrance, which has recently been given a 2014 makeover. Dolce & Gabbana's 'The One' was originally released in 2008 and was an instant hit, it has been an ever present, 'go to' aftershave for many a man. This 2014 reboot is the perfect smell for this time of year, it's woody, oriental notes scream winter. In contrast, D&G have added in lighter notes of grapefruit, coriander and basil, perfect for the man who respects the winter elements, but knows spring is just around the corner.

 

Not only does 'The One 2014' smell good, you will barely be able to take your eyes off the bottle with it's beautifully simplistic design. Gentleman, just take a look for yourselves.

Shoe of the Day - Hudson Vale, Black

A more relaxed Shoe of the Day for Sunday guys; the Hudson Vale sneaker in black. More relaxed however does not mean less style and these are a perfect example. I love the simplicity and nonchalance of the design; an effortless demonstration of secure British composition. Pair these great sneakers with dressed down chinos. A solid investment for when the sun finally comes out. Available at hudsonshoes.com and priced at a very reasonable £100.
