FRAGRANCE | Terre d'Hermes: My all-time favorite designer scent

I'm a sucker for fragrances and I do try different bottled scents all the time. But despite using different EDTs and colognes from different brands all the time—and by the way, liking them as well—I always go back to my one true favorite, Terre d'Hermes.

Packaged in a simple yet elegant—not to mention sturdy and heavy—bottle, the liquid's color is consistent with the luxury brand's trademark orange. Not that it really matters because what's most important is how it smells.

Terre d'Hermes starts off with a fresh, clean scent that is both citrusy and peppery. Even with orange as one of its top notes, it's subdued enough and is not sharp at all. The fragrance eventually graduates into a deeper, more earthy and woodsy scent but stops itself short of becoming too heavy, which makes it perfectly fine for guys to wear in the tropics like I do. It's an elegant scent, so to speak.

As for longevity, Terre d'Hermes holds up. I always get compliments whenever I wear it, even when it's already late in the day and I feel like I don't smell it anymore. But apparently others do, which is always a nice surprise.

Available in both 50mL and 100mL bottles, Terre d'Hermes is a must-try. It's my favorite after all.

    If shoes are my obsession then fragances are my fetish lol. Right now I am a big fan of Gentlemen Only by Dolce & Gabanna, Fan di Fendi pour Homme and one of my all time favorites is Emporio Armani Diamonds...drives me nuts.

LOOKBOOK | Barong Tagalog and sneakers for 'Buwan ng Wika'

Image
Looking oh, so dignified here. Although the celebrations are normally concentrated in elementary schools, August is Buwan ng Wika (Language Month) in the Philippines. Along with dressing up in various traditional Filipino costumes, schools usually hold programs and contests showcasing the national language and traditional Filipino songs and dances. Our department decided to join in the fun by designating a special day yesterday where everyone was required to wear a traditional Filipino costume reinterpreted for modern times. Two years ago when we first held this event, I found myself wearing an ethnic-designed shirt with a malong . This year I decided on a Barong Tagalog , considered our national formal wear for men. But no one wants to go all formal on a Friday, so I wore my Barong Tagalog with sneakers . I thought, if a full-on suit works just fine with sneakers, a barong would be just as perfect with this type of footwear.

FRAGRANCE | Green Cedar EDT by Bench: An environmentally-conscious offering from the Philippines' premier retail brand

Image
A few weeks ago, I found myself wandering inside Bench Powerplant Mall. And what else would catch my eye but two fragrances by their lonesome twosome, positioned far away from the rest of the brand's scent offerings. They're Basil & Neroli and Green Cedar , both EDTs and part of the  Bench Better Made line . The frags are purported to be vegan and cruelty-free. They come in 125ml dark brown glass bottles and brown paper cylindrical boxes. Nice packaging there except for the cheap, plastic cap. No big deal, though, since they're just Php 428 apiece.

FRAGRANCE | Rajo Uno EDT by Bench: An inexpensive local gem

Image
Philippine retail giant Bench has been many a high schooler's go-to shop for cheap colognes, myself included. And even during my college years, Bench has remained a staple. I remember  Bench Ei8ht was very popular with many people back then although my favorites were their body sprays Cielo and L'Amoureux . Through the years their roster of fragrances has only grown by leaps and bounds, with a lot of them made in collaboration with celebrities and fashion designers like Rajo Laurel .
