Zirh Cocktail Bars ($15, zirh.com) Men might have an easier time getting ready in the morning but we have them beat when it comes to fun bath smell goodies. They just get the same woodsy, outdoor, dew in the morning smelling bar soap while we get everything from fresh cut flowers to pumpkin pie smell goods. Zirh decided to change that with these innovative fragrant soaps for men. Zirh’s Cocktail Bar soaps come in five different aromas- Long Island Iced Tea, Sake Bomb, Cucumber Martini, Screwdriver and Hurricane. Each soap smells remarkable similar to the cocktail it’s named after but won’t leave you smelling like you just left the bar. Instead it provides a fresh clean interpretation of the smells and leaves the skin smelling intoxicating. So good you might have to sneak and use it.
