Black Fleece for Men

Brooks Brothers' Black Fleece for men is described as 'tailored sophistication. The fragrance is an earthy aromatic style, the bright sparkling citrus and fresh spices invigorate, while hints of geranium bourbon and rosewood heart warm the fragrance and blend seamlessly. Rich undertones of patchouli, incense and vetiver complete the scent with a tailored elegance. The bottle is inspired by 1950's ceramic glass flacons in refined grey, with matching silver-trimmed glass caps. The packaging is fabricated with rigorous environmental sensibility, the Black Fleece falcon and carton establish a new aesthetic in fragrance design and packaging.From soy ink to plant-derived materials made without petroleum that are recyclable and biodegradable, the Black Fleece Fragrance collection has been fabricated with respect to the Earth.'


...so that's how they get 125 bucks out of you. Still, it seemed like a justifiable expense and a pleasurable indulgence in NYC in February.

Clocks

Trying to decide on a new wall clock - and it's harder than I thought, with so much choice. Found this great site for Newgate Clocks, though: www.newgateclocks.com - lovely site design and quite inspiring.
