Le Labo Santal 33 Eau de Parfum

Suppose you want to veer away from mainstream favorites like Hugo Boss, Tom Ford, and the like. In that case, Cosmopolitan recommends Le Labo's Santal 33 with its notes of cardamom, iris, violet, Australian sandalwood, and cedarwood. Other wintery scents include Labdanum 18, Vetiver 46, and Patchouli 24.

Scotch Porter Superior Hair Collection

For those whose hair is their pride and joy, gift them with this haircare set that includes the Hydrating Hair Wash, Nourish and Repair Hair Conditioner, Moisture Rich Leave-In Hair, Smoothing Hair Balm, and Smooth and Shine Hair Serum. This set is good for two to three months and is scented with eucalyptus, lemon, bergamot, and cardamom as the top notes.

Beard King Beard Bib

Shark Tank addicts will be familiar with this. While it may look like a gag gift, it's a very useful tool for those into heavy beards. The end of the Beard Bib sticks to a mirror's surface and catches everything that is being shaved off, saving one from blocking the sink drain and cleaning the floor.

BONUS: Project Rock UA SPORTSMASK

Under Armour created this washable face mask for safe, outdoor workouts, and athletes consider it as one of the best. The outer layer is water-resistant, while the interior is lined with an antimicrobial treatment. The mask also features Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's trademark bull logo. While not exactly part of the grooming routine, mask-wearing is part of the new-normal, and every guy will appreciate something like this.
