<h4>
Dolce & Gabbana The One Sport</h4>
<p>
You can imagine the excitement at Sport Towers when the spanking-new men’s scent from Italian purveyors of style Dolce & Gabbana dropped on our doorstep. By God, we exclaimed, you know you’ve arrived when this lot are naming something after you.</p>
<p>
Turns out we were mistaken, of course. We called up to say thanks and they claimed never to have heard of us, less still to have created an eau de toilette in our honour.</p>
<p>
Like the fragrance, though, we’re not bitter. Rosemary, sequoia wood and patchouli are the subtly dominant notes in a scent that is as light and fresh as it is unobtrusive. Launched in winter but with the versatility to endure through spring and into summer, The One Sport is proof that the modern man can smell good without knocking people over.<br />
<strong>£56, 100ml</strong> <em>Available nationwide February 15</em></p>

<h4>
Bulldog Original Eye Roll-On</h4>
<p>
The ever-increasing number of options for men wanting to take proper care of the delicate area around their eyes has risen by one more in February, with the launch of the Original Eye Roll-on from natural male skincare brand Bulldog.</p>
<p>
Coming in at a penny short of a tenner (actually pretty good value for the use you’ll get from it), the cooling rollerball application is largely reminiscent of L’Oreal’s Hydra Energetic Eye Roll-On. But Bulldog can always fall back on the natural ingredients card, with Brazilian ginseng root extract and muira puama bark extract working to fight against the appearance of dark circles, and millet seed and oak apple tannins helping to reduce those dreaded fine lines and wrinkles.</p>
<p>
Also enriched with avocado, borage and cucumber oils to hydrate around your eyes, the Original Eye Roll-On is definitely worth a try. And it’s almost impossible to blind yourself when using it – always a bonus.<br />
