Warm weather came to mind when we thought of citrus
colognes. But imagine lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit scents along with crisp fall weather -- talk about fresh! Save the heavy stuff for winter and transition your scent with one of citrus scents
Saks Fifth Avenue's recently dubbed as a fall trend.
For a splurge: Jo Malone's Lime Basil & Mandarin cologne, 3.4 oz for $100.
Estée Lauder's Pleasures cologne combines woodsy scents with citrus, 3.4 oz. $51.
Get in on the trend, on the cheap:
Clinique's Chemistry Skin cologne has Jamaican ginger, citrus and amber scents, 3.4 oz for $32.

What: Carolina Herrera 212 Cologne For Men, from FragranceX
Price: $40.98, (was $45)
The Lowdown: If you're looking for a cologne for office-wear that has great value, great smell and long-lasting, 212 for Men is all you have to get. It contains sandalwood, spices and the spirit of incense, all of which makes you want to close your eyes and take a second to savor the intense aroma (and it's also great for drawing attention from the ladies, right). It's refreshing, light and flowery fragrance is surely a crowd pleaser.

Since most of us aren’t blessed with the ability to be instantly tan and ready for the skin-bearing days of summer, many of the cosmetics companies have come out with various self-tanning products. Some make the user appear orange while other products simply don’t work at all. But we recently got hold of a great product from
Jergens that makes you look like you’ve spent your days in sunny environments.
Jergens’ Natural Glow Express....

Many men approach buying cologne one of two ways: They either peruse the cologne counter at their local department store, smelling every cologne until they find a scent they think they like; or they continue to wear the same cologne they’ve worn since they first discovered cologne during their school days. But according to
AskMen.com, the art of buying cologne lies in knowing your own skin type and how to match colognes up to it.
Oily Skin:....

Chewing gum has been the inexpensive cure for the common occurrence of bad breath for a long time now. But with so many brands, flavors, and styles on the market these days, it’s hard to choose which ones are the best and which are simply eye candies.
Orbit Gum: Orbit makes some of the most unique flavors of gum on the market. They blend things together that sometimes don’t even make any sense, though once you pop a piece in your mouth, the....

Deodorant isn’t necessarily something you use only once a day, nor is it something you can’t have more than one of. While we tend to like the
Old Spice High Endurance deodorant offerings, especially when it comes to working out or going to a big interview, there are other times where a slightly less potent and more fragrant deodorant can come into play.You don’t always need a heavy duty, all day strength type of deodorant.
Many cologne....
