There’s a big difference between having your name on a perfume bottle and knowing what goes into it. Celebrity scents have become a familiar sight, although the famous face on the box often has little involvement beyond it. Richard E. Grant had something very different in mind when he created Jack Perfume. He financed the business himself and became involved in everything from fragrance development and testing to packaging and launch. More importantly, he wanted to create something that reflected his lifelong fascination with scent. The result was Jack, a fragrance that was personal from the beginning.
There is one day every year that fills even the strongest heart with fear, and that is Father’s Day. Most men are not the easiest people to buy for in the first place, but trying to choose a gift for your own father can be a nightmare. The traditional socks, ties, cufflinks and toffee just don’t cut it anymore but trying to get some ideas out of him is often like getting blood out of a stone. Thankfully help is on hand this year from The Perfume Society in the form of their New Man Discovery Box and it’s sure to be a winner with even the most difficult dad. So, if you're still looking for the perfect gift then look no further.
