Eau Noire by Christian Dior, the Enticing Men’s Cologne

April 12, 2006 | Posted by Allison as For Him, Heavenly Scents at 12:43 pm | Comments »

Eau Noire is one of the first three colognes launched by Christian Dior since 1947, and they can stop here.  Eau Noire is an enticing fragrant display of cologne creation; with oriental lavender, cedar, thyme and vanilla complimenting each other in a delicate, yet bold bouquet, Dior has make their mark.

I think I might spray down my favorite teddy bear with a quick spritz and enjoy the scent as I snuggle through the night.  This couture cologne balances the black-tie lifestyle with woodsy and irresistible, natural charm.  Cost, $255 (16.9 oz bottle).

The Most Expensive Cowboy Boots on the Market

April 4, 2006 | Posted by Allison as For Him at 11:56 am | (2) Comments »

Are you looking for the most expensive cowboy boots on the market today?  Then you’re looking for custom boots by Michael Anthony.  The Sonoma County, CA boot-maker prefers high-quality French or German calf leather as well as ostrich and alligator.  Why go to the zoo, when you can wear the zoo?

Be prepared for a 12-18 month delay and prices as high as $9,600 for these full croc boots with an Egyptian god inlay on the back.  I can’t help but think that I could probably become an Egyptian god for $10,000.  But that’s just me….

The Bond, James Bond Omega Watch- Are You Ready?

March 30, 2006 | Posted by Allison as For Him at 12:13 pm | (3) Comments »

Luxist enchanted me today with their post on the James Bond Omega watches.  I, myself, love to pretend I am a spy sometimes and this would be a great addition to my collection, I could put it right next to my chest of camouflage moustaches & spy PC.  Here is Luxist now….

“In the James Bond books by Ian Fleming, Bond wore a Rolex but for the past few movies, Bond’s been an Omega man. Pierce Brosnan wore an Omega Seamaster Professional Diver in his James Bond movies (Brosnan was also an Omega spokesperson). Omega has released two James Bond watches before and the one shown above, the new Omega Seamaster James Bond Limited Edition is one of the first James Bond watches to be equipped with the co-axial escapement. The 41mm stainless steel watch uses the automatic Omega caliber 2500. The dial features the James Bond logo and the second hand has the 007 gun logo on one side. The watch is a “limited edition” of 10,007 pieces. I wonder if this means that Daniel Craig will be sporting an Omega in the new James Bond movie.”

A 007 gun logo for the second hand, get out of here!  I won’t let you say that isn’t cool.  If only there was a bond girl watch….

Now that we have the ladies taken care of, let’s get to the men folk.  What is the perfect luxury gift for men?  A large, impressive gold watch?  A large, impressive leather wallet?  Or a large, impressive new Mercedes?  I’m thinking a large, impressive, beautiful piece of Christian Dior luggage, let him travel in comfort and trendy style.

With Dior’s slick travel gear your man is sure to turn heads.  Textured black-on-black logo coated canvas provides elegance, while the rugged roller wheels provide practicality and sophistication.  Whether he’s being kicked out and needs a nice luggage trolley to pack up all his video games or you’re both off to a weekend in Paris, this is the perfect luxury gift for any man.

What is the cost of this fine, large & impressive piece of luggage?  Why, it’s only $2230.  I do wonder, however, if you’re going to spend that much on luggage, why not just buy brand new outfits while you travel?  Just a thought.
