Some items are essentials in a man’s life. Below we continue our list of “Men’s Must Haves”. Every man should have at least one….. signature fragrance. Few things define masculinity like the smell, and the fragrance of a man. A man’s smell remains embedded in our senses. It evokes emotion, prompts instant recall of moments indescribable by words; and leaves a lifetime of elephantine memories imprinted to our core.
