V I Fragrances for well groomed men Accessorizing a man's outfit this holiday season means more than getting him the right shirt, tie or shoes to go with his busi­ ness suit or sport jacket. It means starting his day off with that "sweet smell of success," the masculine fragrance he puts on before anything else as part of his good grooming. Individual scent A splash of after shave Or cologne establishes a man's character and sets the tone for wherever he's going. If you want to give him a fra­ grance for a Christmas gift, think of his personality as the key to any wise selec­ tion. Olympic choice Is he active and outgo­ ing? Then Revlon's Chaz may be the perfect solution. This clean, masculine scent was chosen by the U.S. Olympic Committee for its contemporary quality which is long^lasting but never overpowering. Or is the man on your mind sophisticated and worldly? If he is, the dis­ tinctive Bill Blass fragrance with brisk overtones of cit­ rus and a dash oLpatchouli will bring out his urbane charm. Or is the gent so deeply self-assured that he sleeps soundly on his back and without pillows? If he's that confident, give him Braggi. Its scent combines a unique blend of spicy herbs, fresh citrus and deep, warm tones of musk and oakmoss. Perfect gift Making accessories work with a man's wardrobe can be easy if they are chosen well. For Christmas, Rev- Ion helps you sharpen your choices for the man in your life.
