What: John Varvatos Artisan Fragrance , $75

Why: February is nearly behind us, which means spring is almost (and finally) here. Help your guy get ready for the warmer weather with the new Artisan fragrance from John Varvatos. I sensed a strong citrus scent after the first spritz, but with woodsy undertones, so I didn't smell like a Glade air freshener. And in typical John Varvatos fashion, it’s all about the details. The fragrance flask is housed in hand-woven rattan making it a smart addition to my bathroom display.

With 11.1 million people unemployed, it’s safe to say that making a positive, memorable impression during an interview is even more essential today. So we have five, recession-friendly (inexpensive) style tips to help your guy look more polished when he walks into the room to meet his future boss.

Black or brown shoes? The Nordstrom Reversible Leather Belt ($49.50) will allow him to match either pair. It’s two belts in one!

Speaking of shoes, use the Kiwi Shoe Shine Sponge ($4.75) if there’s no time for a proper polish.

Keep those collars crisp and in place with Macy’s Brass Collar Stays ($18).

If your guy is over 30, it’s time to have “the talk”—clip that nasty nose and ear hair with the Target Nose & Ear Trimmer ($10).

Interview lunch? Bring along some old school Binaca ($11) – it refreshes instantly and discreetly.  

And one final suggestion, bring the suit and shirt to an experienced tailor to ensure they properly fit. Many off-the-rack clothes need to be tweaked here and there to make them look like they were made for him. Good luck!

Guys and cologne are an interesting combination. Whenever I buy cologne, the goal is to find a personal connection with the smell. Ii don't want the smell to be overbearing, but at the same time it's a great feeling when a complete stranger passes by and twirls around as to keep your air around just a bit longer.  As you walk through the men's cologne aisle looking for that perfect scent for your man, be sure to sample some of the great scents below:

Davidoff Adventure ($33.33) can best be described as woody and earthy with a great subtle clean smell that is perfect for everyday use at work.

There is a great consistent sweet/fresh smell amongst the diesel products (cologne, aftershave, lotions) that I just love. This Diesel Limited Edition Gift Set ($65.50) will keep your guy smelling great both day and night.

I finished this bottle of Ed Hardy's Men Fragrance ($75) quickly. It's become one of my faves for going out at night – a great combination of citrus, sage and sensual musks. A must smell.

What: Le Labo Patchouli 24, $52

Why: We know what you’re thinking….patchouli? But Le Labo Patchouli 24 won’t make your guy smell like the Haight-Ashbury. The smoky, leathery character of birch with a touch of vanilla is unique and sexy and unlike any cologne we’ve ever tried. And what makes Le Labo even more special is you can personalize the bottle by adding a name on the label. “A scent filled with danger for those of us who like to walk a tight rope.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

Your man is hot, right? Do you think about a juicy, flame-broiled hamburger whenever you think of him? Because if you do, Burger King has a body spray for your dude. In what is surely a sign of the apocalypse, the fast food chain that brought you the Whopper and those creepy commercials with the guy in the King mask has decided to move their marketing appeal into the fragrance arena with Flame, a new body spray for men that, according to the press release, “features the scent of seduction with the hint of flame-broiled meat.” The limited edition fragrance WAS available for $4 online, but is already sold out. However, you must take time to watch the cheesiest and funniest online commercial we have ever seen.

Go on, we’ll give you a moment to collect yourself.

If you’ve got a thing for unusual fragrances, we suggest something a tad classier. Demeter makes some great fragrances based on everything from Gin and Tonic ($20) to Dirt ($20) and even Rubber ($26).  Whatever gets your personal fire going, we’re here for you.

But don't ask your man for fries to go with that shake. That's just wrong.

What: Mistral Soap for Men, $5 and $14

Why: Pssst…do the men in your life know that they need to moisturize their skin? Many men shave, shower, and leave it at that, so Mistral Soap for Men has made it an easy part of their rather minimalist morning regimen. Mixed with green coffee and white ginseng extracts, organic shea butter and pumpkin seed oil to refresh, cleanse, and moisturize men’s skin, Mistral keeps it simple and effective. The bars I tried lasted almost twice as long as a traditional bar of soap. Available in travel and full-size bars, these indulgent yet practical soaps make great stocking stuffers this holiday season. And if you offer to lather him up, I’m sure he’ll love them even more!

What: Peppermint Foot Care Kit, $17.50

Why: Let’s paint a picture together. You come home from work, your man follows soon after. Both of you have had a long day and the first thing you both want to do is kick off your shoes and relax.  You have some dinner, watch a little TV, and begin the process of decompressing. Then – you become a rockstar. Why? Because you've purchased Peppermint Foot Therapy for your man – a foot scrub and cream that will alleviate foot dryness and shed away damaged skin – but more importantly, massaging your man’s feet after a long day will earn you HUGE bonus points. Created exclusively for men, the Peppermint Foot Therapy products smell fantastic and should counteract any other interesting smells that come from the foot. The kit also comes with a deodorant foot stick!

Bonus: Chances are you’ll get some reciprocal foot love after hooking your man up.

What: Tanita BC-533 InnerScan Body Composition Monitor, $115

Why: It’s hard to believe we are in the year 2008 – and it’s about time the technology of the scale caught up to modern times. Introducing the Tania InnerScan Body Composition Monitor – a revolutionary scale that will analyze every ounce of your man and then some. In addition to weight, it will calculate body fat percentage, body water percentage, daily caloric intake, muscle mass, bone mass, and give anyone who steps on it an overall physique rating.  Unbelievable, right? Now you can play along at home with ‘America’s Biggest Loser’ and help keep accurate tabs on your man’s health and overall physical activity – although of course he’ll have to exercise and eat right first.

Bonus: This is a perfect gift for the household and even looks like it's from the future.
