An Air of Superiority. Sports Car, Distillery and Hunting Lodge Aromas In A Can.

No florals or sea breezes in these air fresheners. Archer Air Superiority Air Fresheners are masculine, rich and earthy scents that come in three fragrances.

European Sports Car Room Spray

For a scent of life in the fast lane, try European Sports Car. A blend of worn leather, brute force, aftershave and overconfidence it’s like the tight switchbacks of the Stelvio Pass in a bottle.

Hunting Lodge Room Spray

For a rich, timeless and earthy aroma you need Hunting Lodge. Gathering place of men for hundreds of years, it smells of hearth stone, gunpowder, rain-swollen timber and total dominance of the food chain.

Distillery Room Spray

With inviting notes of diligence, craft and mastery over nature, Distillery also kicks like a Tennesee mule. Enrich your home with the inviting aromas of charred oak, sour mash and enough bourbon to keep the good times rolling all weekend.

Chew On This: Upscale Flavored Toothpicks From Daneson Include 200 Year Old Single Malt Scotch.

Lest you think only tacky folk and rednecks chew on toothpicks, let me correct you. Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, Zac Efron, Robert Pattison, Ashton Kutcher, Jude Law (and son Rafferty), P. Diddy and Chace Crawford are all toothpick chompers.




Daneson toothpicks are fine quality northern white birch wood soaked and kiln dried, using a time consuming process to create rich flavors for the discriminating toothpick-user/chewer. They also make a great gift to satisfy those who are attempting to quit smoking or who simply have an oral fetish.

Available as either Salted, Smoked, Cinnamint, Lemon, Mint or their most intriguing, Single Malt Nº16, they warm in the mouth releasing the subtle and distinct flavors.



The following are packets of 4 and boxes of 24 bottles split 50/50 between two flavors.



Each bottle, which is beautifully packaged, includes a minimum of 12 tasty toothpicks and is available as a pack of 4 bottles or a box of 24. Starting at $19.99 for four bottles, they may seem expensive, but the price you're paying reflects the cost of making extraordinary small batch toothpicks with hygienic, environmentally practical packaging.

Also, soon to be offered are these beautiful leather pouches made to hold the toothpicks:

About Daneson:



Daneson was founded and is owned and operated by Peter Smith. The name Daneson is a play on the two maternal names in his family - the regal Ca from San Francisco on his fathers side and granma Elsie from Denmark, by way of Wisconsin, on his mothers side. Both women influenced him and deserved a tip of the hat.

• All of their suppliers, barring Scotch from Islay, are either American or Canadian.
• They're based, weather permitting, out of Georgian Bay on Lake Huron in Canada.
• With forestland their goal is to maintain a minimum 1:1 ratio of consumption to preservation.
• In simple terms, if one acre of forest goes into Daneson then, at the very least, one acre comes out of Daneson in forest preservation.

As they say "A toothpick is more than just a toothpick. With the right recipe a Daneson can bring back memories, relax the mind, complete a meal or distinguish a character."

Gentlemen, Start Your Watches. Hublot's MP-05 "LaFerrari"

With the recent unveiling of the Ferrari’s “LaFerrari” at the Geneva Motor Show, the pressure was on for Hublot to deliver something just as exceptional and the MP-05 LaFerrari watch is the result. In a demonstration and testimony that lives up to the car, it has achieved a historic record with its 50 day power reserve. It is also the watch with the most watchmaking components created to date by Hublot (637).



Looking like a miniature engine strapped to the wrist, the limited edition timepiece is priced at a cool 300,000 Swiss francs, or about $322,000, warranting its own garage.



The MP-05 "LaFerrari" was developed - in technical and design terms - entirely in parallel with the car, alongside the Ferrari teams. They share a number of common points. Able to boast no fewer than 637 components for the movement, which is also equipped with a Tourbillon, as well as a power reserve of approximately 50 days thanks to its 11 barrels, arranged in a line just like a spinal column and interconnected so that they do not each discharge in turn but support each other, this watch is closer to being a concept watch.



The watch is finely wrought in terms of shape, featuring a complex shaped sapphire crystal clearly reminiscent of the car's outline, as well as an open case-back, and is made from black PVD titanium. It is topped by a titanium and carbon insert in its center, revealing the winding crown. The time-setting crown is positioned under the case. Both are completely integrated into the design, and therefore practically invisible.



The movement has an original display, featuring first off on the front vertical face the small seconds indicated by means of an aluminum cylinder fastened onto the suspended Tourbillon cage (significantly bigger than usual with a cage diameter of 14.50 mm, for even better appreciation of the mechanical parts).





The hour and minute are displayed to the right of the barrels, also indicated by means of one anodized black aluminum cylinder each. On their left is the cylinder indicating the power reserve. Reinforcing bars either side, made from anodized red aluminum, bring to mind Ferrari's red signature.




A small detail, but one which makes reading the time easier; on each cylinder the size of the numerals has been maximized with white SuperLuminova™, to enhance the display for ease of reading. This is all rounded off by a rubber strap with a special folding buckle in black PVD titanium.



The desire for a truly exceptional watch has been extended to the design of the presentation case, made from Schedoni leather and carbon fiber, containing the specific tools for winding the watch, and whose design was also inspired by the world of motoring. Limited edition of 50 numbered pieces.
