STYLEETC. HAIR, FACE, BODY must-haves SCENTLESS SENSATION Approaching its centennial, Acqua di Parma has long stood as the quintessence of luxe Italian grooming products with its pure, light and above all subtle fragrances and potions. Now, it has elevated its mantle to the next level by stripping its über-popular Barbiere Collection of its essence entirely, allowing men to enjoy all the benefits of the elite range (be it soothing, toning, moisturising or nourishing) with none of the olfactory bouquet. Originally launched in 2006, the line’s encyclopaedic array of tonics and elixirs now includes a shaving oil, an eye treatment and a facial scrub that complement an exhaustive pre-andpost-shaving ritual – not surprising, then, that the brand’s Milanese flagship store and barber shop, where fans can head to get the full experience, helped inspire the collection. acquadiparma.com for men WITH ITS SMOKY AND WOODY AROMAS BEARING A HINT OF INCENSE, THE LATEST CANDLES FROM FORNASETTI PROFUMI ARE DUBBED OTTO AND WERE CREATED BY MASTER PERFUMER OLIVIER POLGE.
