Now that travel is back on the agenda, a luxurious weekender bag is a timely Father’s Day gift. Country Road’s Logo Tote is expertly made from buttery leather, and will only look better as it softens up with use. It’s great on its own for short trips, or used as a carry on, too.

Simple but effective, Aesop’s skincare line is made for Dad’s who want to experience the benefits of a skincare line without too much fuss. The Parsley Seed Cleanser in particular has a lightweight gel consistency that dissolves sweat, sebum and sunscreen without stripping the skin.

DS & Durga Roadtrip hits auto fragrance set, $90. SHOP NOW
For the Dad who loves anything on four wheels, DS & Durga’s Auto Fragrance Set is a sophisticated upgrade to whatever has been hanging from his rear vision mirror for the past few years. The kit comes with four scents: Big Sur After Rain, Concrete After Lightning, Wild Brooklyn Lavender, Portable Fireplace and ’85 Diesel. Each fragrance is punchy enough to outrun dog/camping/fishing fumes, but not so overbearing that the windows need to be permanently down.

Rich in woods and resins, the latest fragrance from Comme Des Garcons is made for any man (or woman!) who favours a fragrance that’s spicy, warm and bold. Rouge is also new on Australian soil — and it’s always great to gift a scent that no one else is wearing… yet.
Maggie Marilyn Men’s Shacket, $395. SHOP NOW
The perfect transeasonal piece, this shirt-jacket hybrid from Maggie Marilyn is made from a heavyweight, organic brushed cotton. It layers over sweaters and t-shirts, or can be worn on its own. It’s also a great, utilitarian wardrobe staple for men who prefer not to fuss over outfit choices.
Dr Dennis Gross Hyaluronic Marine meltaway cleanser, $45. SHOP NOW

Oroton Grayson Backpack, $429. SHOP NOW
It’s not often that form and function meet, but such is the case in Oroton’s Grayson backpack. It’s made from a smooth, rubberised nylon that’s both waterproof and durable, and has a stack of notable features like a padded laptop sleeve, phone pocket and adjustable straps.
Maison Margiela Replica By the fireplace, $194. SHOP NOW
Smoky and dense, By The Fireplace is a warm fragrance that wears incredibly well on the skin. It’s unisex, so consider it a great gift choice for your S.O. (that way, you can enjoy the olfactive experience as well).
