What It Means to Be A Discerning Gent

A discerning gentleman shows good judgement and taste across all aspects of his life. He takes the time to look and act his best because he considers himself an arbiter of culture, refinement and wit. Discerning gentlemen are often slick, sharp dressers and enlightened, sensitive souls. They are mindful of their health, in a physical, mental, and emotional way and their appearance is a reflection of this.

The finer things in life are a discerning gentleman’s indulgence. Acquiring tasteful and refined products, having various interests and pursuits are just some of the things that drive a discerning gentleman. Here are a few examples:

Fine Fragrances evoke positive reactions from people. Our sense of smell is the most primal and mysterious of our senses: it can be the driving force behind our behaviours and reactions. Harnessing a fine, subtle scent is pleasant for others, and you become a welcomed presence in a room. A discerning gentleman will have a signature scent that is powerful, but not overpowering.

Skincare is vital for improving the health and hydration of your skin. Our face is exposed to pollutants and bacteria every day, and it is important to mitigate this through an effective skincare routine. Facial cleansers, exfoliators, and moisturisers can alter an appearance from tired and weathered, to fresh and young. Skincare routines help a discerning gentleman to feel sophisticated and invigorated.

Haircare primes your appearance and can help to express your personality and unique style as hair is one of the first things that we notice about a person. Untamed, unkempt hair suggests that you are unbothered and disorganised, which is a poor reflection of a person. A discerning gentleman prides himself on his meticulously kept hair. He finds a cut that makes him feel refined and in control, then styles it with appropriate products. Facial hair will also be finely groomed and styled. Haircare is vitally important to discerning gentleman and he would be proactive about regularly visiting his barber.

Fashion is a way to be creative and eccentric: a discerning gentleman shows individuality in their style. They are not afraid to push boundarie
s, and always remain sharp and tailored (never sloppy).

A Classic Timepiece is something that men can wear with pride. Respectable, discerning gentlemen understand the beauty and sophistication of watches; can apricate the delicacy of the mechanism; and love the detail of this accessory with all their outfits.

Being Cultured is important for discerning gentlemen. Reading, exploring music, finding a passion for good coffee, sport, or cooking are just some of the interests that gentlemen may have. Discerning gentlemen are intelligent in various aspects of their life and take time to discover and experience new activities.
