Smell Like Fall: Farmer’s Cologne

Fall smells better than any other season. It’s got all the things we love: leather coats, pigskin, scotch, beer, musky leaves and a hint of fireplace. Smell all that? It’s perfection. So really, there’s no reason to mess with it. Thing is, you can’t really rub all that stuff into your skin without also looking like you might be related to the unibomber. Enter Farmer’s Cologne from Portland General Store—it is the fragrance of fall in a flask.

They’ve mixed the essential oils of woods, leather, leaves, wildflowers and Earth (yup, soil!) in organic sugar cane resulting in a classic splash cologne. It appeals to our primal love of fall’s natural perfume (you may find yourself sniffing your wrists), but it’s subtle in its combination so you won’t smell like you’ve been rolling around in a pile of leaves (as in, it’s office friendly). Just a couple of dabs does the trick, so the 60ml bottle goes a long way.

Aside from that great tang of Autumn, you’ll also feel good wearing it: Portland General Store is donating 10% of the profits to the Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association.

For years, people considered pimples something to get rid of — quickly and privately. People searched far and wide for quick fixes and ways to cover up a zit, including concealer (yes, even for men), popping (not a good idea) and various skincare products with promise.

There's a new product making the rounds on social media, especially TikTok. They're called "pimple patches" and aren't necessarily discreet. For the unfamiliar and TikTok holdouts: "Pimple patches have gained a lot of popularity recently, especially among Gen-Z, but they can be effective for anyone struggling with acne," said Dr. Hannah Kopelman, MD, a dermatologist at Kopelman Hair Restoration, adding that they are adhesive stickers that go over the pimple.
