There is an article by Lesley Thomas in the Telegraph offering a list of Father's Day fragrance suggestions. I loved the anecdote about Pour Un Homme de Caron:......

 

"The sexy, musky, 70-year-old Pour un Homme from Caron, another great perfume house (£35, at Harrods and Fenwick), was a favourite of Charles de Gaulle and Tom Ford wears it now. I'm told that French paratroopers traditionally favoured this fragrance but would customise it by dropping in a Gauloise for a final tobacco note." Who would have guessed the French paratroopers were into tincturing? (please note there are no cigs in the pack because it's bad for your health!)

  1. Cant agree more with the incredible 250 year old leather legend, Royal English Leather. Pomegranate Noir is a recent find of mine and its great stuff !

  2. They should prepackage the Pour un Homme with a French paratrooper. I'd hit it. I'd even supply the Gauloise.....
