This holiday season, international superstar Lionel Richie has introduced his premiere fragrance collection, “HELLO by Lionel Richie,” on Amazon. Driven to launch a fragrance by his passion for creativity and his desire to further connect with fans, the his and her scents are distinct and a perfect pair.

Inspired by Richie’s passion for music and his international travel, the men’s fragrance, “HELLO by Lionel Richie Eau de Toilette,” ehas three layers of intricate scents that deliver elegant, rich and modern aromas.

“I’ve always looked at fragrance as a way to express yourself, so I wanted to take my creative expression one step further and decided to craft my very own fragrances,” said Richie. “While working through this process, I realized there are many similarities between songwriting and fragrance creation — the notes have to work together. I merged my own style and the embodiment of my love songs to create a fragrance collection I’m proud to share with fans and people around the world.”

“HELLO by Lionel Richie Eau de Toilette” is a sexy, sparkling fougère mixed with warm, ambery notes that exudes an intoxicating and modern aromatic experience. The refreshing top notes of this men’s fragrance are inviting and enticing with notes of bergamot, grapefruit, bitter orange and mint. The delicate heart notes highlight lavender, cashmeran and violet leaves, developing the fragrance into a distinct, exclusive scent. The hand selected base notes complete the fragrance, featuring notes of patchouli, vetiver and ambrox, that leave a memorably masculine impression.

For him, a rich onyx black bottle lies beneath the latticed enclosure and, for her, a translucent pearl colored bottle held within the gold toned latticework.

The “HELLO by Lionel Richie,” is now available at Amazon.com ($59.99)

HAIRCARE

For quality haircare Fellow Barber has expanded from their original NYC location to create a wide range of products, which are now being sold in barbershops and retailers worldwide. The brand offers expertly crafted, professional grooming products, designed to work for most men’s hair styles. As part of their commitment to excellent craftsmanship, all of their products are made in the USA and are paraben and sulfate free. Scented with 100% natural essentials oils extracted from herbs, trees, fruits, flowers and other plants that will give the sense of Northern California’s coastal Redwoods and Southern California’s citrus orchards.

Seasonal Wash Duo (Winter Wash + Summer Wash) = $49
Fellow Summer Wash and Fellow Winter Wash are designed specifically for the way your hair responds to seasonal changes. During the summer, your hair and scalp typically produce more oils, and a gentle cleanser is best to let those oils condition your hair. In the winter, the cold air and hot showers can dry your hair and scalp. For that, a nourishing and conditioning wash is best to leave your hair feeling healthy. Both formulas are low-foaming or non-foaming, which will feel different from a shampoo. These are scented with 100% natural fragrances that evoke the outdoors.

Three Styling Puck Set (Texture Paste, Hybrid Clay, Strong Pomade) = $59
The Three Styling Puck Set is made up of essential styling products informed by Fellow Barber’s 13 years of cutting hair. This set includes the super versatile Texture Paste, the innovative new Hybrid Clay and the new and improved classic Strong Pomade. Pick your finish to suit your mood – matte, semi-matte or high shine. Every product is water soluble so you won’t over wash your hair.

Long Hair Prep Set (Winter Wash, Everyday Tonic, Styling Cream) = $69
This is the perfect set for anyone with medium length hair or longer. Fellow Winter Wash is a non-foaming wash that nourishes and conditions hair that has become dry from harsh winter weather.

Fellow Styling Cream is perfect for getting that 2-day dirty look in your hair no matter the last time you washed. It’s the perfect balance of natural oils and conditioning agents to tame frizz while staying light.

Fellow Everyday Tonic is a skincare product containing aloe and witch hazel that cleanses and purifies. It’s great for use on hair between showers to remove excess styling product without stripping hair.
