FRAGRANCE | My Tom Ford Private Blend Christmas Tree

halfwhiteboy - Tom Ford Private Blend Christmas Tree 03

I've long thought of doing this after seeing someone on Instagram create a mini-tower of his Tom Ford Private Blend bottles some months ago. The uniformity of their shapes and their flat, square caps proved conducive to stacking them up. I thought, a "Christmas tree" shouldn't be that far-fetched of an idea then.

I know we have quite a number of Private Blend fragrances at home but it was only when I started grouping them did I realize that we have amassed a lot. I felt a mix of joy and disbelief. It was the most we have from any house and that's not even counting the non-Private Blend Tom Fords. I figured my tree would be taller than expected—and it sure was.

The stacking part was most nerve-wracking. The table had to be very stable to eliminate any unwanted shaking, and I was VERY careful when I piled one atop the other. The last thing I wanted was 25 Tom Fords crashing and shattering into pieces.

And...I did it! Happy Holidays!

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

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.

Man of style: Steven Tyler

What? Yes, Steven Tyler. He obviously does not fit the bill of the suited type or the GQ man but hey, the man's got style. And he's got swag, baby! Since joining American Idol , Tyler, together with fellow judge Jennifer Lopez, have glammed up the singing competition with their flair for fashion ( forget Randy; he's hopeless ). And I am more than happy to wait for what he's gonna wear each episode.
