Could Sean O’Pry be the perfect man? We think he comes pretty close.

In honor of our newly launched, Top Money Guys list, this week’s mdc ♥ is devoted to products for the guys.

SCENTS OF A MAN

With so many incredible men’s scents on the market right now, it is a little hard to choose, but we’ve narrowed it down to four favorites sure to please a variety of guys.

The Sophisticate: Who better than Tom Ford to provide the final touch for the man who has everything? Ford’s Azure Lime is a refreshing blend of citrus and woods that puts a new spin on the classic cologne by adding in a touch of patchouli and musk for added sex appeal. | available at Bergdorf Goodman

The Fashionisto: Insiders know that NYC boutique, Odin is one of the best sources for au currant menswear, so it should come as no surprised that their signature scents are just as innovative. In search of something contemporary yet timeless? Give their scent, Odin Century a try; silver birch, cypress and mint combine for a bold and masculine aroma. | available at ODIN New York

The Dude: For a scent the skews casual and down to earth, you really cannot beat MCMC’s Dude Beard oil. The quirky name draws you in, but it is the spicy blend of cedar, green coriander and pink pepper that keeps you interested. For anyone without a beard there is no need to worry, the fragrant oil can be used all over.| available at MCMC Fragrances

The Classic Gentleman: You can always count on Diptyque for something understated and refined. The line’s signature candles are a mainstay in fashion circles and their eau de toilettes are just as captivating. The rose and vetiver centric composition of Vetyverio is as refined as it gets, we can imagine a modern day Cary Grant pulling it off perfectly. | available at Diptyque

Jac Jagaciak joins the one and only Tom Ford for a special feature in Interview by Craig McDean. Shot at Los Angeles’ trendy Cicada Restaurant and featuring Ford’s acclaimed S/S collection, the images round out Interview’s beautiful Ford cover story. The cut out effect makes for an interesting collage of pictures, but even with the unique layout the clothes remain the focus.

Thomas Penfound astounds on the cover of DANSK‘s latest issue. Drawing inspiration from androgynous icon Annie Lennox’s hit Missionary Man, Aitken Jolly and Anders Solvsten Thomsen transform Thomas into a flame haired beauty. This is the 25th issue of DANSK and the overarching theme is ‘towards uncharted territory’ an idea echoed throughout the content. Inside you’ll also find a few surprising images of Baptiste Giabiconi by Bojana Tatarska and styled by Morgan Hamada Ruiz, as well as this thought provoking quote.

“One day I went up to Karl and said: ‘Why me? What is it you see in me? Why do you only work with me?’ And he told me it’s because he sees something in me that he doesn’t see in other people, something in the way I carry myself. Karl said: ‘I see both a man and a woman in you at the same time.’” - Baptiste Giabiconi

The limited edition, second issue (available on the Pop Africana website) features editorials with beauty Ajak Deng, along with special content from Duro Olowu, Olufemi Terry, Maki Oh, Marcus Samuelsson & Nina Keita.

Some of Spring’s most compelling campaigns take a less is more approach, with a focus on the combination of great models and impeccably constructed clothes. When you’ve got Jana Knauerova, Melissa Tammerijn, Julia Nobis or Erin Wasson striking regal poses in deceptively simple dresses, you really don’t need much more. The Jil Sander ads takes the trend one step further, all but erasing Daria Strokous‘ beautiful face in some of the spring shots. Willy Vanderperre is certainly on a roll this season!

Giampaolo Sgura and Anna Dello Russo join forces for not one, but two maximalist stories for Vogue Nippon. With extravagant styling that echoes Anna’s more is more philosophy and palate of intense colors provided by Segura, both stories are playful tributes to fashion’s eccentrics; Karmen Pedaru looks right at home in those wild hats from Phillip Treacy and Benoit Missolin.

To all those who say Givenchy Haute Couture 2011 casting was just a “gimmick”: As an Asian person, it makes me deliriously happy that a blue chip designer who references the East ACTUALLY uses Asian models. (And the clothes were, of course, supremely divine). For his just finished men’s collection, check out the perfectly cast show by the trailblazing team of Daniel Peddle and Drew Dasent.

One for All

Will Davidson and Stevie Dance join forces to create a dance themed story & cover for RUSSH. Utilizing the talents of dancers Brandon O’Neal, Ronald Burton and Ryan Rankine, alongside veteran model Delfine Bafort, makes for some truly beautiful images and the issue’s theme of group dynamics is completely in line with fashion’s love of collaboration.

Sailor Girl

Camilla Akrans takes Theres Alexandersson in a retro direction for the latest Vogue Nippon; with a naval theme and 40s styling by Sissy Vian, Theres looks every bit the pinup in these playful shots, it is amazing what a transformation a red lip can provide!

Le Roux

Exhibition Magazine takes one iconic fashion item and focuses an entire issue on it. For the premiere edition they chose lipstick and the final result is simply beautiful; just take a look at Catherine Servel‘s seductive beauty story with Magdalena Frackowiak. Equal parts glamour and innuendo, the story features a magenta haired Magda wearing lipcolor from Tom Ford and Dolce and Gabbana, along with seasonal fashions from Ohne Titel & Versus. Looking every bit the siren, thanks to Chiho Omae‘s dramatic makeup and Catherine Newell-Hanson‘s styling, Magdalena shines.

Uggs

Rock your favorite winter sheepskin boots and avoid health hazards with these expert tips. Photo: Alamy

注意:keep the boots dry and do not wear too long

With 49 out of 50 states currently blanketed in snow, many people are putting on cozy sheepskin boots like Uggs -- and keeping them on -- while shoveling, getting to work, running around with the kids and even lounging at home.

What you may not know is that your favorite comfy boots are the ideal breeding ground for a host of foot problems like fungus, odor and chronic painful inflammation of the sole, especially if you wear them continuously for hours on end.

But if you can't imagine going back to the frosty, shivering life that awaits you without cherished sheepskin boots in tow, there's good news: You don't need to entirely stop wearing them.

We asked New York podiatrist Dr. Oliver Zong to share some simple tips on preventing the three most common foot problems associated with boots, so that you can still enjoy the familiar warmth of your favorite pair without putting your tootsies at risk.
