007 The Fragrance Turns Gold for Christmas

Celebrating Bond’s Golden Anniversary
007 Product Visual - Gold Low Res
The refined masculinity and inimitable demeanor associated with the icon that is James Bond has been celebrated for fifty years. An encapsulation of all that is daring and desirable, Bond has captured the imagination of men – and the hearts of women – the world over since the inception of the Bond film franchise.

In celebration of half a century of wit and audacity, the essence of Bond has been bottled with the creation of the official James Bond fragrance for men: 007. Capturing Bond’s spirit and style with a dangerously sophisticated cologne, this male fragrance is an homage to his cultivated charm and confidence.

This season, the golden anniversary is marked with the introduction of limited edition deluxe golden bottles. Each bottle of 007 Gold Limited Edition exemplifies Bond’s impeccable finesse, offering a refined gold skin that is understated and luxurious.

Pure, authentic and irresistible: GOLD
This precious material has always been synonymous with the legendary British spy. It is the purest expression of strength and luxury. Indeed, gold’s qualities: attractive, durable and pure in form, make it not only the perfect partner for James Bond but also for the fragrance.Gold bottle 007

The 007 Gold Limited Edition Fragrance will be the ultimate Christmas gift for the man who aspires to be Bond. The golden edition fragrance is set to take its place amongst timeless objects d’art, ensuring its place as a must-have item for all Bond fans.

The Limited Edition Gold Bottle and Packaging:
Complementing the original fragrance bottle design with its distinctive dark blue bottle and silver twist cap, the exclusive and distinctive Gold bottle evokes the most iconic elements of the Bond world. The sleek glass flacon with its mesh texture mirrors the exterior design of Bond’s slick automobiles; the ‘twist’ cap revealing the fragrance nozzle reflects Bond’s indispensable, state-of-the-art gadgets and the 007 logo is subtly embossed on the front of the flacon in keeping with the sleek timeless design.

The Fragrance:
The 007 Fragrance is a signature scent for the Bond man: a unique fusion of traditionally authentic and British ingredients shaping a classic fragrance with a modern twist.

At the time when the first Bond films of the 1960s revealed the ultimate masculine icon, the world of male fragrance witnessed the dawn of the unofficial hero scent signature for men – the Aromatic Fougere family of perfumes. This fragrance type epitomised the virile, vibrant masculinity of the times and continued to prosper into the 21st century. Only an Aromatic Fougere could bring to life Bond’s unique blend of masculinity and sophistication.

Unapologetically masculine the Fougere backbone is rich with lavender, for a reassuring, yet elegant aromatic masculinity – moss and coumarin undertones create the 007 Fragrance.

Bond’s smooth and refined characteristics are represented through Vetyver, an ingredient which brings undeniable masculinity, power and strength, blended with the sensuality of Lavender. Crisp apple, the quintessentially British ingredient known for its fresh flavor, reflects the smooth side of Bond, adding a refreshingly light quality that perfectly harmonises the heady Fougere. Warm woods with a musky aspect make up the full bodied essence.

The Inspiration:
For half a century, James Bond has captured the collective imagination of the world with his masculinity, charm, and elegance. He is the quintessential icon with whom men identify. Celebrated and renowned across the world, James Bond is an untouchable fantasy, as revered by men as he is desired by women. He is the ultimate male icon who combines irresistible sophistication with uncompromising masculinity.

In 007 Fragrance, these characteristics come together in the strongest way, culminating in a robust signature scent which embodies the duality of Bond; an opulent blend of sophistication and masculinity.

Hairbond Structure Review

Hairbond Structure Shampoo and Conditioner

If you’ve never heard of Hairbond I suggest you buy an item from the range as you won’t be disappointed.

I have been lucky enough to have been using the great Hairbond Structure Shampoo and conditioner for a while now and my view on it hasn’t changed.

Never has my hair felt so clean and fresh. One of the first things you notice is the amazing vanilla pineapple fragrance that hits you. It makes your hair smell great and still smells hours after use.

Without doubt I’d recommend using both the shampoo and conditioner together so you get the full benefit. After just a few washes my hair felt fuller and looked better.

The two products come in a 200ml container with a RRP of £7.99.

Please visit Hairbond to see the full range.

Shave like a real man @thebluebeards

With various men taking part in Movember I thought I’d put a post up about how to shave like a real man. I hope you enjoy this slightly different post.

Learn to shave like a real man with the Bluebeards Revenge

Bluebeards Revenge finally produces a decent ‘how to shave’ video

Sick and tired of that never-ending shaving rash? Fed up to the back teeth with in-growing hairs and razor burn? Bored to death with watching those boring and tedious “how to shave” videos?

Well finally there is now a “how to shave” video that is actually designed for real men, manly men that have suffered for eternity from common and painful shaving irritations like razor bumps and burn.

Produced by Adelia TV, it stars Andy Dunn, master barber at Tom, Dick and Harrys in Axminster, Devon.

”Andy is what we like to call a ‘real man’; he’s a retained fire fighter, a qualified barber and drives a Harley Davidson,” said Nick Gibbens, from The Bluebeards Revenge – the company behind the video.

“He is certainly someone who recognises the manliest of shaves.”

According to Andy, the perfect shave can be boiled down into four key areas – Prepare, Lather, Shave and Protect.

Prepare:
Use plenty of warm water to soften the bristles and open the pores
Apply the Bluebeards Revenge Pre Shave Oil
Get a feel for the direction in which your hair grows

Lather
Apply using your fingers or a shaving brush
A shaving brush gives you the best possible lather
A brush lifts your bristles and gently exfoliates the skin

Shave
Always use a sharp razor blade and use short strokes
Don’t press to hard – Let the weight of the razor do the cutting
Rinse the razor often
Only go against the grain when you have experience
Find the best combination of passes

Protect:
Rince you face with cool water to close the pores
Pat your face dry with a towel
Apply the Bluebeards Revenge Post Shave Balm

So its time to finally stop watching those horrendous shave guide videos (no names mentioned) and put aside six minutes of you’re time to watch the Bluebeards’ ultimate step-by-step guide.
