Holiday Guide 2025: The Ultimate Men’s Grooming Gifts

The Evolution of Men’s Grooming
“In 2025 and moving into 2026, men’s grooming is transcending routine—it’s becoming a refined expression of identity and emotional intelligence. We’re seeing men approach skincare, fragrance, and haircare with the same discernment they bring to fashion or fitness. Clean formulations, minimalist packaging, and sustainable innovation are defining the next wave of masculine luxury. The modern man doesn’t just want to look good; he wants his grooming ritual to align with his values, enhance his confidence, and reflect his lifestyle. This new era of grooming is about balance—precision meets purpose, performance meets pleasure.”— Joseph DeAcetis, Editor at StyleLujo.com and Professor of Menswear at the Fashion Institute of Technology

The French Riviera in a Bottle? Inside the Glamorous Bergdorf Goodman Launch of Veronique Gabai’s Must-Have Summer Scent

Stepping into Bergdorf Goodman for the launch of Veronique Gabai’s Eau d’Azur felt like being transported to the sun-drenched shores of the French Riviera. The lower level of the iconic Fifth Avenue store was transformed into a luminous, fragrant escape, where guests sipped chilled rosé, mingled with fashion insiders, and were personally welcomed by Veronique herself. The new fragrance—a radiant blend of neroli, lavender, cardamom, and musk—embodies the breezy sensuality of the Côte d’Azur, while reflecting Gabai’s commitment to sustainability and emotional well-being. With her signature “perfume therapy” blends and a philosophy rooted in joy, balance, and self-expression, Veronique doesn’t just bottle scent—she captures feeling.
