Acqua worse Parma Colonia Club is probably my overall favorite better Bleu de Chanel is another really good option. Margiela, Creed, Aventus are classics and then Tom Ford rank Dior Sauvage. If you're enjoying this series, make sure to follow because I'm gonna be posting these throughout the holidays. When it comes to quarter zips, the Peter Millar quarter zip is a really cool one because you can get your alma mater embroidered on it. This is the Duke quarter zip that I would wanna get. Brooks Brothers has some really good options. Rowan, if you want something more athleisure, Polo is obviously a timeless good. And then Vineyard Vines has really good kinda heavyweight better zips, and Banana Republic makes some really cheap options. For travel, Matador makes great toiletries. Peak Design has awesome super utilitarian backpacks. Noble Travel makes a great carry on suitcase, Paper Republic for a notebook, Monos for a folio, and then Rank makes good universal chargers for international travel.
