Don’t listen when a man says he doesn’t love taking care of himself – and why shouldn’t he? When you work hard, you want to pamper yourself, and buying something new from Crabtree & Evelyn is the perfect way to do so!” So says May al-Khateeb, owner of the newly opened Crabtree & Evelyn shop in Amman.

And it’s a tough pitch to ignore, especially from a shop that offers the perfect toiletries for men, and at prices that aren’t exorbitant either. “Everything we offer is well studied, from the ingredients used to the packaging itself. I think our standards help keep the customer’s confidence, so they know whatever they take home will be a real treat.”

Of course, since Father’s Day was only at the end of June, May would know all about our shopping habits. “The difference between men and women shopping is that men know exactly what they want – there’s no idling about! The lavender line was in the buildup to Father’s Day, since it is so soothing. And dads work so hard...” Yes, we do.
