Caswell-Massey Promotion

What is the Promotion?
There's a promotion going on right now with Caswell-Massey products. Spend twenty dollars ($20) pre-tax on any Caswell-Massey products, and you can get a free full-size lotion in Rose, English Lavender, or Almond & Aloe. We'll be doing it while supplies last. This includes products from Caswell-Massey subsidiaries like Dr. Hunter's and Lucky Tiger.

How do I get my free lotion?
When you're finishing up your order of Caswell-Massey products, let us know in the comments which scent you'd like. If we're out of a particular scent, a different one of our choice will be substituted. They're all pretty wonderful.

Why would I want to buy something from Caswell-Massey?
I've said it before, but Caswell-Massey is a pretty cool company. They have tons of scents, especially the specialty soaps, which are triple-milled and last forever.

Also, this is a great chance if you're planning on buying something for Father's Day. Not only do you get a present for Dad, but you also get a present for yourself.

Ok, if you're so smart, what do you recommend?
As always, I am full of opinions. Check here to see the full list of C-M products, but here's what I think.

For the history buff, I'd recommend anything in the Presidential Soap Collection. These three scents were favored by a lot of different presidents and you can pick the historical period that appeals the most. George Washington favored Number Six, Ike liked Almond Coldcream, and JFK favored Jockey Club. You can get these scents in soaps, talc, aftershave, cologne and occasionally as a stick deodorant.

There are a lot of other C-M scents. If you'd like to smell them all, or if you're looking for a present for someone who is looking for a change, I'd get the Men's Fragrance Collection. I wish I had a picture of it for you, because the packaging is wonderful. There are six little .16oz glass bottles in a green and gold case. The scents include Number Six, Jockey Club, Tricorn, Greenbriar and Newport. For some reason, the catalog I have doesn't list the last one, but I think it's Verbena. Lime doesn't sound right and we don't stock Aura of Patchouli.

I love C-M's soaps. I can personally vouch for how well they last and how wonderful they smell (unless you're like my husband and don't like anything that smells like roses, then it's just listening to someone complain for a longer period of time than they would with a regular bar of soap). They're generally sold in boxes of three. I like these for gift baskets, hostess gifts, and as additions to attendant gifts that are classier and less cliche than something from Bath and Body Works. Plus, if you buy the soaps and split them up, you get to keep the box, which is pretty, smells nice, and is a good size for organizing things in drawers/closets/etc.
There are a few of the soaps on the website, like Almond Coldcream, Pomegranate, Sandalwood, and some of the Men's Fragrance Collection. We have a wider variety in the store, so if you're interested in any of the following, please give us a call: Vanilla Orchid (vanilla with notes of coconut and mango), Herbal Fusion (rosemary and tarragon), English Lavender, woodgrain Sandalwood, and maybe more.



Is your guy leery of splashing chemicals all over his face? Does he have sensitive skin and want to avoid alcohol? In need of something eco-friendly? I'd recommend Lucky Tiger products, especially the aftershave. Their products are made with certified organic ingredients, from a recipe that is essentially unchanged since the company started in 1935. I really like the light, clean scent of the aftershave. It would be a good choice if you (or who you buy it for) t isn't a fan of highly scented products.

There's also a ton of shaving stuff that you might be interested in for Father's Day, but I'll talk more about that in the next post, which will mostly be about shaving stuff.
