Let's be real: You can tell immediately when your man walks in the door if he forgot to put on deodorant that morning (and this happens way more than it logically should). Luckily, Axe Peace Deodorant Stick has such a distinct smell that he'll never forget to include it in his A.M. routine. Not only does it harness his B.O., it has a musky wood fragrance that also manages to be fresh. We guarantee he's never used deodorant like this before.

For the brewery aficionado
There's no way any man could resist Redken's Clean Brew Extra-Cleansing Shampoo. With packaging that resembles a beer bottle and deep cleansing and conditioning ingredients like malt, brewer's yeast and orange zest, it's basically like he's washing his hair with premium malt beer -- minus the whole wasting a six-pack element.

The conditioner that will show him why the heck he needs a conditioner
If your guy still has no idea what conditioner is (no matter how many times you try to explain it to him), show him what he's missing with Aveda Men Pure-Formance Conditioner. It won't weigh his hair down or make it greasy. Instead, it restores the moisture balance and zaps oil, leaving hair clean and refreshed while also soothing scalp dryness and itchiness. The zesty scent is thanks to an invigorating blend of citrus, spearmint, vetiver and lavender.

Guy-friendly, skincare-infused sunscreen
He'll never go back to slapping body sunscreen on his face again after trying Kiehl's lightweight and silky Facial Fuel UV Guard SPF 50+. Yes, this sunscreen is that good. It has UVA and UVB protection, which help prevent sunburn and sun damage that can lead to early aging. But it's the non-sticky, non-greasy formula that will win him over. It's fragrance-free (no girly-smelling perfumes here) and contains caffeine to wake up tired skin.

A cologne that conveys rugged outdoorsy-ness (even if he'd rather stay inside)
He won't be embarrassed to display L'Occitane Cade Eau de Toilette on his side of the bathroom counter. The packaging is simple and outdoorsy, while the scent itself is woodsy and spicy without screaming "I'm wearing cologne!" Top notes of bergamot overlay cedar wood and pink pepper, while base notes of cade wood and citrus will leave a fresh scent on his skin after the other scents fade out.
