1The safe bet
Molton Brown Re-charge Black Pepper Bath & Shower Gel 300ml
Re-charge Black Pepper is one of Molton Brown's best-known scents, with notes of black pepper, coriander and vetiver. The bath and shower gel is made in England and gives a rich lather. It's a classic gift for someone who likes a warm, spicy scent.
2Ready to give
Molton Brown Re-charge Black Pepper Collection Gift Set
The same scent as a set: a 300ml bath and shower gel with a small 7.5ml eau de parfum, so he can try the fragrance before committing to a full bottle. A good choice if you'd rather give a set than a single product.
3For dry or shaved skin
Clarins ClarinsMen Super Moisture Balm 50ml
A rich, non-greasy balm for men's skin that the brand says soothes skin after shaving. It suits drier skin and anyone who shaves every day. Skip it for very oily skin, where a lighter gel works better.
4For oily or combination skin
Clinique For Men Maximum Hydrator Activated Water-Gel Concentrate
A lightweight, oil-free water-gel moisturiser made with hyaluronic acid. It suits oily or combination skin, and anyone who dislikes the feel of a heavy cream.
5For a better shave
L'Occitane Cade Refreshing Shave Gel 150ml
Cade is L'Occitane's men's range, scented with juniper. The shave gel is designed to protect skin from the razor blade, and it pairs with the after-shave balm below.
6To finish the shave
L'Occitane Cade After Shave Balm 75ml
An after-shave balm made with cade wood essential oil and shea butter, designed to hydrate and soothe skin after shaving. Give it with the shave gel for a complete shaving gift.
