Introducing Alford & Hoff Eau de Toilette for Men, Highly Recommended by Whom You Know

This exciting multi-faceted new fragrance is an extension of the wildly successful luxury skin care line for men, Alford & Hoff, which premiered at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman.

Created by world-class Perfumer, Rodrigo Flores-Roux of Givaudan, Alford & Hoff EDT is for the new generation man: a juxtaposition of light and dark, clarity and richness, texture and polish. Alford & Hoff EDT is a modern scent, containing only the finest ingredients. It is perfect this spring for men of Manhattan, and everywhere!

Topnote: The first impression draws you in with the aromatic power of fresh citrus and intoxicating herbs, immediately setting it apart. ORPUR, the highest quality absolute exclusive to Givaudan, is included in the topnote fragrances.

Midnote: The scent deepens as a drop of sweet rum leads into the core of rare oils and absolutes. A modern new masculinity unfolds into warm, addictive vanilla and tonka beans from the world’s most exotic regions.

Drydown: The long lasting background of golden molten amber poured over weathered leather and soft suede provides a nuzzle factor that only intensifies with time and warmth of skin.

The unique combination of notes and accords creates a visceral response when you’re close to someone wearing it.

Our gentlemen's panel tested this fabulous new find, and here is what they had to say:

After purchasing my wife a bottle of her favorite perfume for Mother's Day at our favorite Neiman Marcus, I decided to see what new fragrances were available for men. I told the clerk that I was looking for something current and exciting and needed a change from my current cologne. She showed me several new items, but the one that caught my eye was the Alford & Hoff Eau de Toilette. The packaging was unique in that it has two release buttons securely holding the bottle inside, great for traveling. The distinctive glass bottle is topped by a cover made of real wood, imagine going "green" in the fragrance industry.

The color of the Alford & Huff reminds me of my favorite dark rum libation, and once I sprayed some on, I detected a hint of rum, or was that just wishful thinking. I found out that well know Perfumer, Rodrigo Flores-Roux, created this vibrant scent. A mixture of citrus, Orpur, rare oils, vanilla and other fragrances are blended together to produce this masculine scent. A single push on the dispenser was all that was needed to release the aroma that would last for hours, but not be overpowering.

Anyone looking for an Eau de Toilette for men that is modern and distinctive should consider purchasing Alford & Hoff, and remember ladies, Father's Day is quickly approaching.

I must admit I have never heard of Alford & Hoff or their line of men’s skin care and fragrances. I am snob when it comes to my cologne. I am not going to lie to you and tell you that I can break down all the different notes in cologne but I can tell you I know if it is a winner or a loser. My first impression of Alford & Hoff Eau de Toilette was the packaging, very sharp, and certainly looking the part of being a high end fragrance. Now it was time for my cologne test - two sprays in the air and a walk through the mist – sometimes repeated if necessary. It has a pleasant smell – not too strong, not too weak. I would say it has a fresh scent at first, but then settles into a more masculine, deep, sweet scent. This scent is great for the work day and also great for a night out with the ladies. I’ve received several compliments in my experiences with the latter recently, which, lets face it, is all that matters. Alford & Hoff will be my go-to scent, whether I am trying to put my best foot forward in a business meeting or if I am trying to impress a woman.

Loved the Alford & Hoff fragrance! It comes in a sleek rectangular box and the bottle itself shows very well. I wore it all weekend and had a very strong response to the smell. It has a spicy hint to it, but not too much. The aroma has a lasting presence, great range and people notice. I was stopped separate times and was asked what I was wearing, which is very rare for me or any guy I have found, I definitely recommend the product to any males looking to make a presence with their scent.

I can't believe how many compliments I have received after using Alford & Hoff's cologne! I have literally been asked almost everywhere I go "what are you wearing?"! Personally, I find that this cologne is one of the best ones I have ever had! It has the most rich, warm, light, natural spice smelling aroma that I love! This cologne has the ultimate masculine scent! I find that the fancy packaging that it comes in is so cleverly put together - - along with the shape of the bottle. I think one of the best parts of this cologne is that only 2 sprays goes a long way so it lasts forever! So if you're looking for an amazing smelling cologne then this is the one you should pick hands down! Trust me you won't regret it!

Alford & Hoff EDT (100 mL) is highly recommended by Whom You Know and is available for $125 at www.alfordandhoff.com, Bergdorf Goodman, and Neiman Marcus.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
