The Perfume That Makes a Sports Marketer and a Beauty Editor Happy

My Mueller cousin, Cousin Dave, works in sports marketing in North Carolina. He believes in positive thinking, and sends out-of-the-blue text messages like "just wanna say I love u cuz!," or simply, "BOOM!!". He's famous for his present giving: a homemade hemp necklace, personalized mix tapes ("Cousin's Compilation"), a framed picture of a random Austrian hillside.

Of late, Cousin Dave is a great lover of cologne—which troubles me, because I am not. Most men's fragrances creep me out—too sharp, or too "aquatic" (whatever that means), or too something.

If you have a cousin like Dave—and I hope you do—this is absolutely what you should get him the next time his birthday comes up: Fresh Cannabis Santal. It is warm and complex and a tiny bit spicy, and is universally beloved by men, women, and Sephora executives (it won the "Best of Sephora" award last year). Even me. And of course, Cousin Dave.
