Marc Ecko's BLUE Fragrance for Men Review

Blue Fragrance for Men

Never one to disappoint, designer Marc Ecko's  BLUE Fragrance for Men is sexy, modern, and daringly fresh.  Classified as an aromatic fougere, this launched in spring 2011 as his third fragrance under Parlux Fragrances.

With top notes of bright citrus against the juicy blackcurrant and wild plum, BLUE is invigorating and alive with energy and bold confidence.

In the heart, the chilled H20 lends more icy crispness to notes of geranium, fresh-picked herbs, and juniper berry, glazing the fragrance in a fresh spicy mix.  Once the frosted blue lavender develops, the fragrance warms and takes on a sexiness that is hard to ignore.

The base is hot.  The underlying passion finally emerges with a ménage a trois woods accord in the dry down.  Spanish oakmoss and Australian eco-sandalwood bring an undeniable sensuality to the fragrance with earthy and woody notes  that fires nearly out of control once the electronic musk accord ignites them.

The bottle is sheer glass that is sharply divided, reflecting the contrasts in the fragrance itself.  The angular metal cap adds a futuristic appeal perched above the inner sea of blue.

BLUE is ever so manly as it weaves its spell over a woman.  That icy rush of citrus freshness perfectly compliments the spiciness and woods to keep it from overpowering for almost aquatic freshness while being sexy at the same time.  I honestly loved how my guy smelled wearing this because it is so intensely fresh but still earthy and masculine, but definitely memorable.

Ladies, if this sounds like the kind of fragrance for your man, then do pick him up a bottle of Marc Ecko's Fragrances BLUE Fragrance for Men for Father's Day or just out of the blue for no occasion.

Submariner by Harvey Prince

If you're clueless on what would be great to give your Dad this Father's Day, then I know exactly what that dear man needs.  Why not give him something that can do wonders for his spirit overall and put a little jump into his step like with a bottle of Submariner Fragrance for Men from Harvey Prince Natural Perfumes? 

With aquatic notes of Bermudian island spice and vibrant South Pacific Tonka bean mingling with citrus, amber, and blonde woods, this scent is manly yet fresh and utterly sexy at the same time.   Submariner for Men is sophisticated and exudes a debonair sense of style and power that is hard to resist since it is also the perfect combination of confidence and raw maleness warmed by the glow of tropical sun and sea.

This is a special, elite fragrance meant for a special man.  So let your man set sail for compliments with this refreshing, but commanding essence of Submariner for Men and watch his reaction. 

Some fragrances for men can come on too strongly that they practically choke you.  This is not the case with Submariner.  It is a very female friendly scent both to our delicate noses and how it seems to dress up your man with that certain something--and undeniable appeal.  

Readers, you heard it from the source, Submariner is one hot male fragrance to women that is natural, which makes it even more desirable in my book.  As you know, I love Harvey Prince and this scent is no exception, so do pick up a bottle for your guy for Father's Day or just to make his day.  Trust me, Nutsters, he will love it and so will you!

Take advantage of 20% off any Harvey Prince purchase (excluding the gift card) all through the month of June  when you enter nuts4stuff20 at checkout.

Thanks to Harvey Prince Natural Perfumes, three lucky readers in the United States or Canada win a 1.7 oz. bottle of Submariner Eau de Toilette Spray ($55 value)!

Balance Bar Father's Day BARE Hug Gift Set Review and Giveaway!--Ends June 1, 2012

Balance Bar Father's Day BARE Hug Gift Set 

How about if I tell you I know the ideal gift to treat your dad or the man in your life for Father's Day?  Unlike another necktie or shirt that will eventually end up in the back of his closet or purposely lost, perhaps, tucked away in the sock drawer, I have a better idea.  Show him some true love with a delicious and nutritious assortment of Balance Bars like sweet and salty BARE bars that will recharge his energy like the ones I reviewed for this Balance Bar Father's Day Gift Set.

These BARE bars have some crunch with nuts atop a sweet coated bottom of pure delight like Sweet & Salty Peanut Butter, Blueberry Acai, and the Sweet & Salty Chocolate Almond.  You would think that the two tastes would interfere with each other, however, they are perfect compliments.  Even though I am quite taken with Balance Bar Double Chocolate Brownie since it is scrumptious like a candy bar only better for you with vitamins, minerals, and protein to keep you going, I am now also hooked on this Sweet & Salty Chocolate Almond, my favorite of this trio. 

If you think these are just other nutrition/energy bars, then you would be sorely mistaken.  Each BARE Balance bar is only 200 calories, but provides a whooping 15 grams of protein, up to 5 grams of fibers and 7 grams of whole grains along with 19 vitamins and minerals in a natural organic agave and brown rice syrup that will help stabilize blood sugar levels as well satisfying hunger when in a rush.

I really do eat and recommend Balance Bars because they do help satisfy your sweet tooth and keep you full with plenty of healthy nourishment.   Think what a big smile that special man would get if you gave him something he will actually love instead of pretending.  He can pack these bars in his briefcase to keep just in case he needs a quick lift--and with every tasty bite he will think of thoughtful you. 

So solve your Father's Day gift buying problems with this limited-edition Balance Bar Father's Day Gift Set, which includes 15 BARE Balance bars in Sweet & Salty Peanut Butter, Sweet & Salty Chocolate Almond, and Blueberry Acai.  In addition, the gift set comes with a water bottle with a special built-in compartment to store a BARE bar and a playful "BARE Hug" Father's Day card.  Place your order before June 11, 2012 and get free ground shipping within the USA with a price of $17.84.

Thanks to Balance Bar, one lucky Nuts 4 Stuff reader in the continental United States can win this limited-edition Balance Bar Father's Day Gift Set of 15 BARE Balance bars in Sweet & Salty Peanut Butter, Sweet & Salty Chocolate Almond, and Blueberry Acai, the water bottle with a special built-in compartment to store a BARE bar and a playful "BARE Hug" Father's Day card ($27.00 value).
