Fragrance 101: A Q&A with Carlos Huber and Daniel Patrick Giles

Cologne might not feel like a thing you have to spend much time thinking about. You just splash some on in the morning and go about your day, right? But do you know where exactly you should be applying it? Do you know where you should store it or whether it expires? Whether you should switch scents every season? We got to sit down with two renowned fragrance developers to ask them all these questions and more. —Mike Conklin, Editor-in-Chief

Take It From a Woman: Magnum P.I. Should Be Your Summer Style Inspiration

The original Magnum P.I. that aired from 1980 to 1988 starred the tall, rugged and undeniably dreamy Tom Selleck as Thomas Magnum — a private investigator tearing around Hawaii in a fiery red Ferrari, solving crimes and rocking impossibly short shorts with suavity (and a killer ‘stache).

Truthfully, I couldn't care less about the show itself. The acting is corny, and the female characters are portrayed as either hyper-sexualized love interests or completely helpless damsels-in-distress. But I keep watching for the same reason I started: Thomas Magnum and his impeccable sense of style. Here’s how to steal his look. —Logan Mahan, Commerce Editor

It’s Summer: Put Peaches in Your Red Wine

About 12 years ago, I was at a friend’s apartment in Brooklyn on one of the hottest nights of the summer. We quenched our thirst with a beverage that her Italian American family had been enjoying for decades: chilled red wine with sliced peaches. That first taste was so blissful, it’s become a seasonal tradition in my own household. It’s so easy to make and tastes just delightful, which is why I’m encouraging you to try it the next time you come across a batch of ripe peaches. —Amanda Gabriele, Senior Editor

How Leica Made It to 100: Gold-Standard Cameras and the “Human Eye”

Maybe you’re like me and you know about the legend of Leica. But how was that legend built? And how does a camera company not just stay relevant, but even thrive amidst all the technological developments over the last 100 years? Our correspondent Oren Hartov, who you’ll know from his prodigious watch coverage, has the history on the occasion of the German brand’s centennial. He’s also got the deets on some of the anniversary cameras they’re rolling out. I think I need to be a Leica guy now. — Alex Lauer, Features Editor
