Justin Timberlake Is the Face of Play

Everything Justin Timberlake touches seems to turn to gold. He’s got a can’t-miss combination of talent, looks, and cool that help to keep him continually in the forefront of the entertainment industry. Now, he’s the face of Givenchy’s new male fragrance Play.

I got a sample of Play today. The bottle is reminiscent of a mp3 player. Cute. The fragrance is fruity, but not too sweet. It has a sandalwood quality to it, but that’s not one of the notes.

It smells clean, without smelling like soap. It’s made for men and I intended to give it to my boyfriend, but I think I’m keeping this sample for myself. There’s nothing about the scent that screams MEN. It’s just very nice, one of those scents you want to keep sniffing. I really like it a lot.

Top note: Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Bitter Orange, Grapefruit
Middle note: Amyris Wood, Black Pepper, Coffee Flower
Base note: Vetiver, Patchouli

It’s also available in a Play Intense version. I didn’t get a chance to smell this one, but the notes sound good. It’s a woody oriental.

Top note: Bergamot, Mandarin
Middle note: Amyris Wood, Pink Pepper, Coffee Flower
Bottom note: Labdanum, Tonka Bean, Vetiver, Patchouli

Both Playfragrances are available in an Eau de Toilette. They launched this month, August 2009, and you can find them at Macy’s, Nordstrom, Dillard’s, and Sephora.

The Unisex Trilby Hat

Although historically associated with Orthodox Judaism or London in the 1900’s, today the trilby style hat is a very stylish accessory worn by both men and women. The trilby hat looks similar to the fedora with a narrow brim and an indented crown, but the trilby has a slightly narrower flat brim. Some could say that the trilby and fedora are interchangeable words for the exact same hat, but I’ve just discovered this new “trilby” and would like to try to make a distinction between the two! The trilby is becoming more recognizable in pop culture as it’s been seen many times on Justin Timberlake and Samantha Ronson.

Here is a perfect trilby hat for summer that would be great for men or women:

J.Crew Straw Trilby Hat $34.50

The chocolate colored paper straw hat with a chambray band would look perfect with a casual khaki look for summer. Don’t forget your sunscreen if you wear this to beach, though! The brim isn’t wide enough to offer any sun protection!

I’ll admit it, when Justin Timberlake went solo I thought it was the last we’d hear of him. But now that his singles have made their way into my favorite workout mixes, I gotta be real: I’m a Justin Timberlake fan! So when I heard that he would be the new face of Givenchy’s cologne, Play, I was very excited for him. Atta kid. Unfortunately, if you’re dying to find out more, it’s not launching until autumn.
