Smelling like an animal might not be in your endgame plan when it comes time to cleaning, shaving, deodorizing or spraying on some cologne but you also don’t want to give off the aroma of an old man, a woman or like you’ve just left the Jersey Shore (in a mist of aerosol, Axe and stale beer).

So..we’re happy to report that the new Old Spice Wild Collection smells absolutely nothing like the wild animals they’re using as mascots. Built on the success of their first “Fresh Collection” of scents from 2010, The Wild Collection features some useful scents designed for guys who’re looking to stand out of the crowd without giving off the aroma of ostentation (or cheese). Where as the Fresh Collection bottled the sweet scents of the traveling man—Fiji, Matterhorn, Cyprus, Denali—The Wild Collection harnesses, what they believe, is man’s call of the…well…wild. Our translation—the collection’s scents—Foxcrest, Hawkridge and Wolfthorn— are spiced in just a way to give off the air of business, but not as usual.

Foxcrest suits the man of the day, with the always hirsute mix of woods, musks, green herbs and a dash of citrus. Hawkridge was crafted with date night in mind, mixing rich, red fruits and chocolate with finishing notes of musk and sandalwood. The most versatile of the bunch, Wolfthorn is a pulpy mix of citrus and mango with bases of creamy vanilla and sensual musk. The collection—An antiperspirant/deodorant, a body wash, body spray, after shave lotions and cologne—also comes with a pretty cool viral video situation—another thing besides always giving gentlemen cool classic scents that Old Spice has mastered.

All three scents are available in Antiperspirant /Deodorant, Body Wash, Body Spray, After Shave Lotions (each $4) and an all-new Cologne Spray ($7.99) at oldspice.com, drugstore.com or at your local corner store.

The secret to tackling coffee stains: teeth whitening powder

Proactively stay ahead of coffee stains

Teeth whitening powder

As a daily coffee drinker (and addict), it's safe to say I've tried nearly every teeth whitening product on the market. Despite my best efforts, such as using a straw when drinking iced coffee, consuming three cups of coffee a day leaves me with quite a few coffee stains. From whitening strips to on-the-go whitening pens, I'm always open to trying new ways to stay ahead of coffee stains. Plenty of whitening products on the market can make a difference in coffee stains, but they are only as good as my willingness to use them.

For me, whitening pens never seemed to make my teeth whiter. The whitening strips did seem to work, but the process of using them is enough to make me steer clear. Most whitening strips I've tried take at least 30 minutes and are unpleasant. Fortunately, I've recently discovered a game changer: teeth whitening powder. Meanwhile, brushing your teeth with teeth whitening powder takes only a few minutes and can easily be added to my regular oral hygiene routine. Here's why I use teeth whitening powder to fight against coffee stains.

This Waterpik water flosser is down to only $40 from Amazon

The Waterpik Cordless Pulse water flosser with its box.

After buying something from electric toothbrush deals, you should consider getting a water flosser so that you can take even better care of your teeth. Here's an offer from Amazon that we highly recommend: the Waterpik Cordless Pulse for only $40, following a 20% discount on its original price of $50. The $10 in savings will only be available for a limited time though, and since it would be a shame to miss out on this lowered price, you'll need to hurry in completing your transaction for this dental device.

Why you should buy the Waterpik Cordless Pulse water flosser
Taking care of your teeth requires more than just brushing -- you'll also need to floss regularly to make sure that you also clean the space between your teeth. Traditional dental floss can be time-consuming and painful though, so getting a water flosser like the Waterpik Cordless Pulse would be a good idea. Using Precision Pulse technology, the device delivers strong water pressure and pulsations that will remove plaque bacteria that are building up on your teeth, preventing gingivitis, cavities, and bad breath.

Everyone is more interested in men's grooming products these days

In the world of beauty products, the men’s grooming category used to be an afterthought. There were plenty of intriguing individual products available, but as a whole, the market was so small that it was barely worth mentioning.
Not anymore. As many of the companies making those intriguing products can attest, the growth in men’s grooming has made the category a major force. In fact, on a percentage basis, men’s grooming is now growing faster than women’s beauty markets, which has long been a powerhouse economic force of its own.
