White Musk

Am considering this as well.... musky scents normally do not work too well for our humid climate but this was surprisingly refreshing and non-powering.

It's actually a really good EDT to make for a personal signature scent because, firstly and foremost, the scent is rich and engulfing and secondly, being very reasonably priced (as with all The Body shop products), you won't necessarily break the bank wearing it daily.

Just a moot point, why am I into 'white' scents suddenly? JPG's Fluer du Male ... and this, White Musk?? Hmmm . LMAO.


Warning: This is a VERY Metrosexual scent.. which will likely attract people from all... teams? Alluring. LOL

Fleur Du Male

I was on a shopping spree, evidently. :op

I'm a huge fan of Scents.

And I've got a whole range of Eau de Toilette for Homme still waiting to see the light of day... lol.

Anyway, wanting to search for a new scent to liven things up a bit, I came upon

Fluer Du Male by Jean Paul Gaultier .

That's 'Flower for the Man' in French. :-)

The bottle is pure opaque white and is in the form of the famous male-silhouette by JPG.

Any one's who's into EDTs for men or Parfums for Women will know that JPG has the highest concentration (the other being Ralph Lauren)for its essenses.

So, to best describe it, you 'll have to experience it for yourself. And fall in love with. ^^


Actually, it smelt so enticing, I got the full range of products including the after-shave, shower-foams and deodorant stick.
And it did cost me a BOMB. Sheeesh. .....

BTW:


This is actually a graphics wallpaper created in conjunction with the launch of JPG's Fleur Du Male.

Nice... n it's already on my desktop. :-)

Man of Steel

Djimon Hounsou.

(Pronounced as 'Deee-mon' not 'Di-gi-mon, the computer game/cartoon :-P)

Remember that name.

He who was spotted by famed fashion designer Thierry Mugler, way back. And his modelling career took off.

Think of him as a male Naomi Campbell; also one who was spotted off the streets and whisked away into the glam-world of High Fashion.

Ironically, it was not modelling but his love of acting and a critically-acclaimed career backed with a slew of Academy and Golden Globe nominations in the wake, that really brought him full-circle and back into the forefront of fashion campaigns.

Now, he's possibly the second only Black-male Supermodel since Tyson Beckford.

Although, it must be noted that while Beckford rose from anonymity, Hounsou was already a celebrity to begin with.

Not unlike like Beckford, however, whose mega modelling career was launched into the stratosphere when he fronted the Ralph Lauren Sport campaign back in the late Nineties. Hounsou's career is set to ignite because on February 24, 2007, it was announced that Hounsou will be the new Calvin Klein Underwear model.

Starting with the Fall 2007 season, he will be featured in the brand’s global print advertising campaign including the launch of their new Calvin Klein Steel product line.

Djimon now joins the ranks of Iman, Naomi, Tyra and Alek, and of course Tyson, in estblishing a break-through in the fashion industry.


He's become the only black male model ever, in the history of the provocative brand, to front its world famous Men's underwear campaign.

His association with 'Supermodel-hood' is even more apparent now that he's dating Supermodel-turned-head designer for Baby Phat, and bestie to Tyra Banks, Kimora Lee Simmons.



Hats off.
