The Gods

These last few days I've been pondering those great fragrances pour lui, which, for me, breathe a finer air than we mere mortals. In lieu of my “Ten Favorite Fall Scents,” here's some ambrosia for the men in the room:

1. Christian Dior Eau Sauvage
   
2. Monsieur de Givenchy
   
3. Guerlain Vétiver
   
4. Chanel Pour Monsieur
5. Creed Green Irish Tweed
6. Creed Vintage Tabarôme
   
7. Knize Ten
8. Hermès Equipage
9. Guerlain Mouchoir de Monsieur
10. Guerlain Derby

Wearing any (or all) of these is one of the rites of passage for the well-dressed man. As a high school junior I remember dabbing my neck with Pour Monsieur, as if adopting the rituals of the Establishment were a means toward undermining them. Little did I know then that I was playing with Promethean fire... And, yes, before the comments roll in, these are all eminently unisex.
