    My husband would like those soaps, I think. Maybe the cats should get him some! And I like the sound of that candle…

      I would like some of those Lucia soaps too, if the cats are feeling generous, LOL…

    Ooh, I’m going to watch for those Bulgari sets on clearance! I love The Blanc. (But not windows which won’t let me do accents aigu. Actually this is Linux. Well, I’m messed up in a number of ways.)

      Also possible that that particular set is at one or more of the discounters, I did not check….

    Another reminder that I need to get some Allure Homme Edition Blanche… maybe I’ll just pick up another packet of spray vials from eb*y.

    That candle sounds delicious too.

    My dad would never go for a candle, so I guess I’ll have to get that one for myself. ;)

    These posts are helpful. I’ve decided to get the John Varvatos Artisan set and some soap for my Dad. I’m sure he knows what he is getting since I’ve asked him to try on some from my bottle to hear his thoughts. He is so hard to buy for since he buys what he wants, whenever he wants…Christmas was Eau Sauvage – so far so good.

      Yeah, my Dad is that way too. So is my Mom. Hard to think of presents they want but didn’t already buy for themselves.

      Glad the posts help!

    That candle sounds really nice. I bought the DH the Artisan gift set as well. I made sure to “coincidentally” get some sample vials throughout the year with various orders and had him try it. He liked it a lot despite how quickly it fades so I figure the ancillary products should help with the lasting power. But that candle is really tempting…

      Let me know how that hair & body wash is…I’m tempted to get that myself. And ditto on the candle!

    The soaps sound tempting (for me, my dad uses nothing Zest) ~ however, I buy all my fancy soap at Marshall’s. I can’t see myself spending $11 for a bar of soap.

    Fathers Day not till September in Australia but I will refer back to this article then. Funny, Mothers Day is the same here as in the US but not Fathers Day, wonder why?
