I have to admit, I really love putting together our monthly ’20 Under $20’ roundups. Just because they don’t cost a lot … doesn’t mean they’re cheap.

20 Under $20

It’s no surprise to anyone that costs are going up just about everywhere. But that doesn't mean there aren't good bargains to be found. You just have to know where to look. Thankfully, you've come to the right place. For our June edition of '20 Under $20', we've unearthed a wide variety of goods, that can all be purchased with that Andrew Jackson in your wallet. And just because they don't cost much doesn't mean they're cheap—this month's round-up includes everything from breezy camp collar shirts and plant-saving sprays to stylish lamps and even a cult-favorite eye cream.

Making the Case for …

A Substantial
Summer Scent

 

*** Yellow Span - Making the Case ***

Often summer fragrances are light, but if you ask me, that’s a mistake. When you’re dealing with heat and sweat, I think a more substantial scent is imperative. I want a full-body fragrance, with plenty of perfume oil to stick on my skin and keep me smelling great all day long.

The one I’m wearing right now is VIXI, by the famed French house of Trudon, which has been blending beautiful scents since 1643. With over 380 years of experience, no wonder they make such wonderful fragrances. With sandalwood and sage at its heart, VIXI is intertwined with a touch of spice, fresh-cut cedarwood and floral jasmine—it’s woody and green, with a touch of sweetness. Some green fragrances can feel too light, but this is substantial and layered. It smells clean and warm and fresh. It’s what I imagine driving a Vespa through a Tuscan lemon grove must smell like on a sunny afternoon—a mix of citrus blossoms and leaves, along with dried grass and some well-worn leather. In other words, it smells amazing. All day and all night long.

$260 by Trudon
