Coming in what is perhaps the most masculine perfume bottle ever designed, Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather Perfume

A good shirt deserves a little love now and again. This stain bar
from the Laundress New York and J. Crew will keep dad looking dapper by removing grime around the hardest-hit parts of the shirt, the cuffs and collar. Made from vegetable soap and natural borax, the all-natural bar won’t harm the fabric like a trip to the cleaners, so he’ll get the most out of his shirts. ($7)
