DORNBRACHT Celebrates Diamond Jubilee, Showcases ATELIER Line

DORNBRACHT is a German luxury bath and spa fittings brand founded in the 50's by Aloys Dornbracht and son Helmut. They are celebrating their 75th year and had a showcase of their best ware at their showrooms in Twenty Four Seven Building in BGC. They are supplied in the Philippines by Focus Global under their Bath brand together with other premium names in the market. 

At the event, they showcased DORNBRACHT's Atelier line to exhibit the various ways they can do fixtures. What we got from that is simple, they can do anything you can imagine. The faucet and knobs that have been exquisitely designed was added with layers of brass, gold, feather, egg shells, leather, mother of pearl and more. The finishes were stunning. reminiscent of bubble reflections, draped blue fowl feathers, and leather from the best craftsmen in Germany, Switzerland and other EU countries.

Here's a short tour of the showroom. If you fancy it, get in touch with them through their social channels to arrange an appointment, or just visit the Twenty Four Seven building on office hours.

They also held a short program to commemorate DORNBRACHT's Diamond Jubilee. Stephen Sy of Focus Global says "This is a reflection of the 75 years of Dornbracht. It marks more than 12 years of partnership with Focus Global. Water is now part of design and wellness because of them. They always set new standards, and as partners we see that together with designers, architects, engineers and consumers. We are grateful for the trust and excited for the opportunities ahead in the years to come. Here's to many more with Dornbracht!"

Kevin the Regional Head or Dornbracht says "75 years is a long time, but we are the only brand to continue and focus on taps and showers. We are the luxury brand producing it from Germany to the region. We are focused on maintaining presence in this segment. Thank you for being here!"

They also shared how their pieces have been installed in several hotels in the country as part of their spa centers. If you have something in mind, a dream or two, they can do it. Tell them and they've got folks who can source everything, and make that possible. Their current collection speaks volume of what design, craftsmanship and passion can do. 

Congratulations to DORNBRACHT! Congratulations on 12 years in the Philippines, and 75 years around the world! 

Old Spice Giving Out A Dream Ducati

Had the chance to attend an event in Makati this evening (yesterday that is). I heard the brand Old Spice and immediately said yes to the invite. I’ve been using it since high school as my Dad always leaves it on the table and obviously it smells good, so I never felt so good those days. Now they’ve got a lot, and also giving away something huge this year. Boys, Gents, Men, our dream bike, a limited edition Old Spice Ducati.

If you buy an Old Spice product from July 15-October 31, 2018 and keep the receipt as proof of purchase. Go to oldspiceph.net and register the product you bought. After getting the email confirmation, keep all details and wait for the raffle draw. The more products you buy, the more chances of winning. So if you buy 50 pcs of deodorant, aftershave, shower gels or any of their products, that’s also the number of entries you can get.

On November 5, they will do the official draw. On November 17, they will be doing the public awarding of the Old Spice Ducati Bike. They will be telling you the venue as soon as they confirm it. They are also doing a bike roadshow, have individual brand ambassadors soon to tell you about the great news.

Cage Tiongson of Old Spice says “Old Spice is the manliest grooming product in the planet, it expresses individuality, we thought of bringing that message across and if we didn’t have a car to give out, we thought of DUCATI. Old Spice is red and this is red, it’s freedom, here’s the chance to get a bike of your own through SPICE UP YOU RIDE.”

I want it for myself but it’s everyones game!

On Soaps, Shampoos and Shower Gels: Men Should Smell Like Men

You are better than you think you are. No one said it is easy, but we all have to know the difference between grooming products for men and women. Sometimes you just feel we live in a world where people would want to kill us with fluff, flowers and pink stuff, not that it's bad for us but there's a huge difference in our physiological and biological makeup. Our hair might be made with the same things but the daily abuse, use, wear and tear is just on a different level. Our activities are different and if nobody admits we too need special care, that would be a sad life.

I was browsing the grocery of Mercury Drug a couple of days ago with my Mum and Dad and saw these products on the shelf. While they were signing their senior citizen discounts and I bought a couple cans of pineapple juice as I was a bit under the weather (long story) and saw ToppCock on the way to the counter. It's a line specially made for the male form of which the last one I tried was ToppCock Silver on my article here. This time I'm trying the Mint Soap, the Hydromax Invigorating Shampoo (Mint Lavender) and the All In One Shower Gel (which I have tried before).

The Mint Soap was marvelous. It didn't need a promise of 99.9 percent germ removal to make it feel good while in the shower. You feel clean and it smells so good. I like that the mint wasn't too harsh because the last thing that you need when the water from the shower is already cold is also mint to ruin the experience. So it's like hitting two birds with one stone, that's good yeah?!

The Hydromax Invigorating Shampoo on the other hand has Mint and Lavender. If you're a man and want to feel fresh and clean without smelling like a bouquet of flowers when you get out of the shower, you just have to put it in a subtle way. That's what this is. Like the soap, the mint isn't really too harsh either. I think they got this right during production which is a good thing.

I like the Shower Gel. It's like fresh pine. This got emptied in like 3 days because apparently everybody else at home liked it a LOT. It's like those really good perfumes for men mixed with it but I won't tell what brand LOL. Anyway, I think if you're looking for something cool, perhaps keep like a staple in your bath, this would be it. I assure you, it's something you would mistake as something only expensive designers would make. It's affordable too so you know what this means? You should get it too!

Take it in, because I'm sure event the women can relate to that. They wouldn't want the men to use what's designed for women right? That thought alone is beautiful, it means something and it's real. It will feel right because it's proper, and proud!

Again, you should go to the nearest Mercury Drug outlets and get yourself some ToppCock. Be a great example to the men in your age group. Take care of yourself buddy!
