To be honest, I hope there would be more gifts that considered *universal* and are more acceptable to the male counterparts. I’m honestly so over ties, wallets and shirts. Like, hello? Can we normalize giving them some kitchenware? It’s the 21st century. And even if you don’t have that special someone in your life, tell us; is finding the right gift for your dad or brother could be any different? Yeah, exactly. Anyhow, luckily few brands are debuting some of the best items just in time for this month—and hint, some of them are within the range of the latest fragrances collection. And good-smelling men are truly my (and every girl’s weaknesses). Just saying, *wink*

4. Burberry Hero Fragrance
Another scent in line. Burberry Hero represents the duality between strength and sensibility. A scent that would represent the timelessness of BURBERRY and at the same time the sense of modernity. A blend of universality and uniqueness. The scent expresses the animality that is inside each man and at the same time a true humanity. The bottle is strong and modern, like the fragrance it carries. Its angular shape is an abstract reinterpretation of a horse’s hoof, engraved with the curved Burberry logo.
