WITH SUMMER OFFICIALLY upon us, it’s high time we switched up our grooming routine to accommodate the unforgiving beat of the sun. For starters, choosing skincare that’s reparative as well as hydrating with active vitamin ingredients will protect your skin from the full brunt of the sun and all the damage that comes with it. But the new season also means you can have some olfactory fun. Whether it’s a body soap with strong citrus notes that reminds you of peeling an orange in Italy, or a fragrance that smells as fresh as the ocean’s breeze, the senses play a big role in signalling the changing of the seasons.

And as all trends in the grooming space go, of new and novel, we reminded ourselves of an old standby when collating our round-up of fragrances, hair and skincare products for the summer: grooming isn’t always about quantity, it’s about quality. And there’s no better theme to kick off the start of the new year than with the Australian Open just around the corner, whether you’ll be a spectator or player, our ultimate edit of classics and new releases will certainly enhance your life in 2025.

All products are listed clockwise from the top.
