fragonard_mensIs it too early to think about Father’s Day? Mais non!

Fragonard is a venerable Parisian perfumer now available online in the U.S.

I had a chance to visit their fabulus Museum of Perfume in Paris and was hooked.

They explained to us about “Le Nez,” the Nose, who combines essential fragrances to create perfumes, colognes and oils.

The colognes seem light at first, but have a complex subtlety that evokes the countryside - a little wild, a little cultivated.

My personal favorite is Concerto. Colognes for men are available in stylish and utilitarian aluminum canisters. Great for travel.

Forget the tie. Give Dad something unique that he’ll enjoy everyday. Cosmopolitan and upscale without breaking the bank,  Fragonard is the perfect gift for men this Father’s Day.
