Four grooming essentials for men on the go, from SK-II, Tom Ford, Dior Sauvage and Pankhurst
A facial treatment, a fragrance, a shaving oil and a body shampoo for the busy man in your family
Famous for his stubble and painstaking regimen, designer Tom Ford definitely knows a thing or two about the art of shaving. Less rich than a shaving cream and featuring natural oils, his Tom Ford For Men Shaving Oil (HK$630) smooths the skin for a clean and polished shave.
Long-time fans of its women’s counterpart simply call it “miracle water”, which says a lot about the cult status of SK-II Facial Treatment Essence. The men’s version (HK$1,080/160ml) includes more than 90 per cent of SK-II’s signature ingredient, pitera, which revives dull skin, making it look clear and less oily.
Dior perfumer-creator François Demachy wanted to deliver something fresh and cool when he came up with Dior Sauvage (HK$620/60ml, HK$850/100ml). Just like the face of the fragrance, actor Johnny Depp, Dior Sauvage, with its notes of bergamot and ambroxan, “has a strong and unmistakable masculinity”, in the words of its maker.
As its name implies, Pankhurst London Head To Toe Shampoo (HK$176.26/ 250ml and exclusively available at mrporter.com) ticks all the boxes as it’s both a hair and body cleanser. Perfect for those who can’t be bothered with too many products, it features the brand’s signature Bay Rum and Lime fragrance.
