Men's Fragrance Bar in Sandton City

#StuttafordsMensFragranceBar

So every man loves to smell good! I am sure that everyone will agree with me on that.
Stuttafords in Sandton City now boasts what we call a 'Men's Fragrance Bar' where gents are able to explore and experience new 'male only' scents without their sense of smell being tricked by the hundreds of feminine fragrances in the air. (I always hate it when you get a nostril full of some exotic fruity perfume.)

Liz Ferrett, Cosmetics Executive of Stuttafords hits the nail on the head with what she has to say about the brand new addition to the Stuttafords family: 

"We absolutely love making men feel uninhibited & comfortable within their metrosexuality; The Men's fragrance bar is the perfect solution. We've created an environment where men can find what scent defines them with confidence with the assistance of our pleasant staff."

Some of the guests to grace the red carpet included some of our favourite people.

Some of my personal favourite fragrances are stocked in this new initiative and include Hermès, Tom Ford, Jean Paul Gaultier, Givenchy, Dunhill & Versace. But wait! That is not all. This men's fragrance bar is home to Clinique for Men, Clarins Men & Lab Series. So not only are you able to smell good, you can also make sure that your skin looks good at the same time.

The Dapper Movement is on the Rise

Now the gents of Pretoria have no excuse that they need to go all the way to Jo'burg to get suited up. CSquared has just opened their 5th store and that in Pretoria in Menlyn Park Shopping Centre.

The store front is very inviting and there is an air of classiness about all the CSquared stores that I have visited in South Africa. Aidan Bennetts is the mastermind behind the designs of these stores and we think he does a fantastic job too.

Guests at the exclusive opening were treated to a selection of drinks. 

Peroni Nastro Azzurro

Ballantine's Whisky

Absolut Vodka

Breva Fine Malt

Have a look who we spotted!

Patterns & Colour

Love this colour version of Houndstooth

Are you BOLD enough to try this?

High Top Sneakers... I have a weakness

The colour and the print! 

Whilst waiting for the evening to start... I get creative and snap a total random photo.

Now if you don't know the name Jan Malan, then I am not entirely sure under which rock you have been hiding. Probably the best Show Producer in the industry always brings fresh and new ideas to the runways of South Africa. In true Jan Malan style the CSquared launch in Menlyn. Dancers and Max-hoba proved to be great entertainment before a mini fashion show to open the store to the guests. The music was booming through Menlyn and not before long a small crowd of onlookers had gathered to also witness the opening of CSquared's 4th store.

I was very pleased to see something very enjoyable for the teetotalers to drink on the evening. BREVA is a fine malt. Produced right here in Wellington in  South Africa and it comes in flavours that blend well with malt - Passion Fruit, Apple, Peach and Pineapple. Crisp and refreshing, I could indulge in something that looked good and tasted great and still drive home sober. Seriously, go check them out and if you can get your hands on some of this stuff, do it!

So go and have a look at the new store in Menlyn for yourself. They have some of the best staff that you could get in retail. They know what they are doing and it is honestly service with a smile.
