Why is buying men presents so difficult?

It doesn't matter if it's your dad, grandad, boyfriend or husband - most men are impossible to buy gifts for.  You either end up buying socks and pants, alcohol, books or sporting equipment which does get a bit boring.

Buying skincare products for Matt is impossible, he is only interested in them if he is 'borrowing' mine.  The one thing that I know he will like is a nice aftershave so that is usually my fail safe gift.

His aftershave favourites are Davidoff Coolwater and Joop, the hideous one in the red bottle that smells like redcurrant jam, I usually censor this one (i.e. find the bottle and hide it as it stinks to high heaven). 

But now Matt has Davidoff’s new fragrance called Champion which was launched this week and he loves it already.

I think the dumbbell bottle design is a bit silly on one hand, but on the other hands its really fun.  It makes a nice change and it's unique, everyone who sees it gives it a few biceps curls!

This is what Coty say about the fragrance "Davidoff Champion is about the daily ritual of taking the time to build physical and mental strength. To become a champion.". 

Verdict

The aftershave is fresh and masculine and I actually like it as much as my favourite men's aftershave which is Davidoff Coolwater (Matt's usual aftershave).

The top notes are bergamot and lemon, the heart notes galbanum and aromatic clary sage and the base note is the classic Davidoff cedarwood tying it in with the other fragrances in the range so it's still obviously Davidoff-y scent, which is great if you are a fan of Davidoff which we are.

Overall the scent starts of fresh and zingy and dries down to a more sensual masculine scent when the cedarwood comes through more.  It's a great casual fragrance and would be great to take to the gym due to the dumbbell bottle.
                                                                                
Eau de Toilette – 50ml; 90ml (£35.50 / £43.50) can be bought at all the usual perfumery places like The Perfume Shop 

If you look at the perfume shop's home page I recommend looking at the new Hugo Boss advert...all I can say is PHWOOAR! Whoever picked Ryan Reynolds as a model deserves a bonus!
