There’s no denying that most men aren’t fans of shopping; especially men’s clothes shopping. The idea of heading to the shops at the weekend is rarely at the top of most men’s priority list. But men’s online shopping is a completely different ball game.

The plethora of online men’s clothing stores bring numerous benefits: no pushy salespeople, no queues, no walking between store-to-store, and no partner who makes you try things on that you will never actually buy. Instead, the online clothing store experience can be a safe haven even for the most stylishly-minded gent, who wants to browse pages of new clothes with a drink in hand.

But what if you’re not so style-savvy and you need a starting point for the go-to stores for the must-have clothes? Or you may think you know the best places to shop but could do with a few more suggestions…

If your Tinder pickup line was an absolute trailblazer and you’ve got a time and date on the books, it stands to reason that your pre-date groundwork deserves the same care, attention, and finesse as your online façade. The finishing touch – after you’ve aced the wardrobe and axed the manbun – is the perfect scent.

The science backs us on its importance. Studies have revealed that guys who get their cologne spray on behave with greater confidence than their naturally-aromatic neighbours. But the data also demonstrates that olfaction is a powerful attraction filter. Dousing yourself in the wrong scent, or leaving it off entirely and smelling like a well-seasoned bus seat, is going to put sudden-death rules on the hot date you’ve been planning all week.

That’s why we’ve selected eight fragrances that will have your back whether you’re going out for ice-cream or sitting down for three courses at the best spot in town. Our picks include lighter and heavier scents, and seasonal options to keep you from smelling like a nightclub dance floor at three in the morning.

Richard James Savile Row

The guys on Saville Row should stick to their suits and ties? Think again. Richard James wants his clients smelling as good as they look in his tailoring, and this 50ml eau de toilette is his first foray into the world of men’s cologne.

This fragrance’s primary ingredients are tuberose and leather, an unusual combination that provides a pleasant balance between rich, floral tones and traditional, masculine qualities.

This scent is quite rich, so a few gentle sprays behind the ears and on the wrist is plenty. It’s less than a hundred bucks for 50ml, making it an inexpensive and desirable gift (provided you aren’t seduced by it first).

BUY $82

Bamford Grooming Department – Edition 1 Cologne

By the mother-son duo from Bamford Grooming Department, this Edition 1 Cologne is an all-seasons all-star. This fragrance combines the richness of citrusy bergamot and soothing vetiver with the potency of traditionally-masculine dark amber and agarwood.

This balanced combination of heavier and lighter ingredients makes it an ideal option for guys who resist overpowering, musky scents but find summer fragrances too underwhelming. It’s available in 50ml bottles but you won’t need much of it to achieve the desired effect. 

BUY $122

Comme Des Garcons Parfums – Wonderwood

In case its name didn’t give you a hint, Comme Des Garcons’ Wonderwood is designed to remind you of the aromatic experience of sitting by a fireplace (in the best way possible) and its strong, woody notes of cedar and sandalwood make it a no-brainer winter scent.

It’s balanced with zestier ingredients like bergamot, vetiver, and pepper to offset the weight of the woody ingredients. This cologne is quite heavy, approaching the musky end of the scale.

A pre-date drenching will kill your game. Go easy on the sprays and your date won’t feel like she’s inhaling cinderblocks with her glass of wine.

BUY $131

Tom Ford – Noir Extreme

Tom Ford introduced the Noir Extreme in 2015 off the back of the original Noir’s popularity. Despite its name, Noir Extreme is not a scent that will outmuscle your date’s sense of smell and have them scrambling for an open window.

This fragrance is built on amber and woody accords, two heavier ingredients that are complemented with bergamot, black pepper, and nutmeg. This mix creates a rich, masculine scent suited to after-dark occasions.

It’s is finished off with vanilla to balance and soften the overall profile of the fragrance. But remember, less is more – even if it’s Tom Ford (remember this shit aint exactly cheap).

BUY $125

D.R. Harris – Arlington Cologne

D.R. Harris has the enviable privilege of holding a Royal Warrant, and continues the tradition of servicing the grooming requirements of British royalty and other unfairly rich people around the globe.

This Arlington Cologne blends citrus and fern, a rich and clean combination that can perform in both a warm, summery environment or in the more intimate confines of a bar or eatery. It’s not a weighty, musky scent, but it opens strongly and thus needs little more than a splash or two with each wear.

It’s also housed in a cool, vintage looking bottle that will make your grandfather proud. 

BUY $41

Penhaligon’s – Endymion Eau De Cologne

Named in tribute of Greek mythology (although that’s not why we picked it), the Endymion cologne is another popular fragrance produced under Penhaligon’s Royal Warrant and impressive, centuries-old tradition of craftsmanship.

The Endymion boasts citrus and floral notes, combining the sweeter attributes of bergamot, mandarin, lavender, and sage. Undertones of leather, nutmeg, and sandalwood strengthen this warm and summery combination.

It’s intended as a lighter, warm-weather scent and would be an excellent counterpoint to your heavier colognes in summer.

BUY $132

Odin New York – Sunda Formula One Eau De Parfum

Manhattan-based Odin’s Black Line derives inspiration from the flavours encountered in exotic destinations, and this Sunda Formula One scent is intended to invoke the scents of historic spice trade routes.

This eau de parfum is grounded in tonka bean, giving it both spicy and fruity elements, with additional blends of cedar, juniper, and pepper. As a parfum, it’s a milder scent that won’t overwhelm the candles on the dinner table or leave musk on your clothes after a wash.

Like it or loathe it, the vaping industry – or electronic cigarettes – is going from strength to strength. Whether they’re used by someone wanting to kick their smoking habit, or a hobby taken up by a younger audience because it’s seen as ‘cool’, the number of vapers around the world is increasing.

Recent figures suggest some 68 million people worldwide use e-cigarettes, as of 2020, compared to 7 million in 2011. This figure still pales in comparison to the number of people who smoke traditional cigarettes, which is estimated to be well over 1 billion. But what about vapes in Australia?

There are several reasons why people have taken to vaping, but for those who don’t use them as a means to quit smoking, likely pick it up because of the wide array of flavours available, and the common belief that they’re safer for you, compared to cigarettes. 

But, what exactly are vapes, what are the different types of vape and ultimately, which are the best vapes to buy in Australia? 

Disclaimer: DMARGE does not condone the use of smoking products, including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, vapes or any other heated tobacco product that contains nicotine. If you need support to quit smoking, you can follow the advice of the Australian Government Department of Health.

What Is A Vape?

A vape, electronic cigarette or e-cigarette, is an electronic device that simulates the traditional method of smoking tobacco. No matter which type of vape you have, it will comprise an atomiser, a power source and a container filled with e-liquid, that gives it its flavour.

As the name suggests, you inhale vapour, as opposed to smoke, which is why many consider vapes to be less harmful than tobacco cigarettes. Within the vapour you inhale, however, there will usually be a combination of nicotine, glycerin, propylene glycol, carcinogens, and metal nanoparticles.

Vapes vs Cigarettes

The main difference between vapes and cigarettes is the chemicals incorporated into both. The vapour in vapes can contain harmful chemicals that aren’t found in tobacco cigarettes, however, on the whole, they contain fewer toxins. Ultimately, it is fair to say that any product containing nicotine can be harmful to your health, as it is an addictive chemical.

What Types Of Vapes Are There?

There are four main categories of vapes to buy in Australia: cig-a-likes; vape pens; mods and pod mods. Each of these represents a new generation: first generation, second generation, third generation, fourth generation.

Cig-a-likes

Cig-a-likes were the first electronic cigarette product on the market and are made to look like traditional cigarettes. With these, you simply have to use them as you would a traditional cigarette, i.e. there is no button to press, you simply drag from the butt end. They use a cartomiser, which combines the atomiser (the part that heats the e-liquid, turning it to vapour) with the e-liquid flavour cartridge into one piece. 

Cig-a-likes are far less common these days, since they have effectively been replaced by pod mods. However, if you do still happen to use them, or find them at a service station, it’s good to know there are disposable versions and reusable versions. Disposable cig-a-likes use a pre-filled cartridge, which you can swap out for new cartridges when the current one runes out. 

Reusable, or refillable, cig-a-likes allow you to refill the e-liquid cartridge with whichever flavour you choose. While they may be user-friendly, the cartridges in cig-a-likes are relatively small, so you won’t get much use out of them if you use them regularly. 

Vape Pens

The second-generation vape pens are larger than cig-a-likes, and first arrived in the mid-2000s. They feature a larger battery, most commonly have a power button to press to release the vapour, and were the first to make use of a coil. They can also be recharged via USB. 

Vape pens can come in various forms, predominantly, fixed voltage or variable voltage, along with variable temperature. Fixed voltage vape pens are just that, a fixed voltage. This means there’s no need to play around with any settings, just press a button and puff away. 

Variable voltage and variable temperature vape pens, however, allow you to change the voltage and temperature settings to your own personal preferences. Adjusting these can affect the intensity of the flavour – a lower voltage provides a smoother, softer effect, while a higher voltage gives a more intense flavour – of e-liquid you have in the tank or cartridge and the amount of vape cloud produced (different e-liquids may also require different temperatures to work at their optimal best).

Box Mods

Box mod vapes are similar to some vape pens in that they also offer users a range of personalisation options to help them find their desired flavour intensity, nicotine hit and cloud size. They’re able to do this through the use of sub-ohm coils, which require less resistance than the coils in vape pens, so the battery size can remain the same. 

This means a higher rate of electrical current can flow through them far easier, resulting in a greater hit of nicotine and large vape clouds. They can also be used with e-liquid that doesn’t contain nicotine, meaning you simply inhale a variety of flavours, without the worry of becoming addicted to the nicotine chemical. It’s pretty easy to see why they’re so popular, then. 

Wherein lies the potential risk with vape mods is whether the one you get is regulated or unregulated. Regulated feature internal electrical circuitry that prevent you from inhaling too much vape and nicotine in one hit, while also allowing you to manually adjust settings.

Unregulated mods don’t have such features, to can pose a greater health risk. While it’s not necessarily a bad thing to own one of these, it’s certainly recommended that you try and avoid them. 

Pod Mods

Pod mods are the vaping device in Australia you’re most likely to see people using as you walk down the street. They work in a similar way to cig-a-likes, in that you don’t need to do anything with a pod mod, just drag away from the mouthpiece and get your fix of nicotine. 

There are closed pod and open pod systems available, with the former being pre-filled with a salt e-liquid, and disposable, and the latter being able to be refilled with your choice of liquid. The cartridge will eventually need replacing, however. Vape pods are also available with various strengths of nicotine, and this will be displayed on the packaging and on the listing if buying online.

Cargo pants were all the rage in the 90s and early 2000s. These pants were renowned for being incredibly stylish yet possessing a laid-back, casual aesthetic. They were not only super chic but highly functional too as these military-inspired pants often featured utility pockets and a baggy silhouette for supreme comfort and ease. These bottoms were seen everywhere, even being fashioned by the world’s biggest celebrities.However, there was a time where cargo pants went into hiding; despite Rihanna’s best effort to reintroduce them all through the late 2000s. Fortunately, cargo pants have since been revived and are now some of the most fashionable pants a man can wear. From high-end designers such as Burberry to Dior embracing the cargo pant, they’re no longer just viewed as functional workwear but rather a staple streetwear piece.
