Are you a hunter-gatherer? Some people – be it a man or woman – are just born to be the hunter-gatherers of this world. They burn with ambition, hone in on their target, and work very hard to get what they want. People such as this are passionate, focused, and even a little bit ruthless. They are also very sexy! I made Signature Wild for the hunter-gatherers among us. It is a leather scent with a cool, anisic tint that is balanced by a warm, rummy fruitiness. Leather scents are a great match for hunter-gatherers because they mimic the slightly animalic feel of leather or suede on one’s skin, and remind us that sensuality lies right next to...
What are the best fragrances to wear when the heat of summer arrives? Many people prefer to remain unscented during summer or to wear a simple eau de cologne straight from the fridge.
