Elijah Craig Char No. 3 Cologne

Heaven Hill Distillery offers a fragrance inspired by the flavor notes found in its flagship bourbon, Elijah Craig. The name and scent are derived from the Level 3 charred oak barrels used to age the spirit, offering notes of vanilla, cocoa, spices and charred wood. Supplies are limited, and 50ML bottles can be pre-ordered from the distillery’s web shop or purchased at the Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience in Bardstown, Kentucky.

Lego x Stranger Things: The Creel House

To celebrate the final season of Netflix’s most significant cultural phenomenon, Stranger Things, everyone’s favorite Danish building block brand has unveiled a remarkably intricate recreation of the Creel house, the childhood home of the show’s big bad, Vecna. While the house itself is pretty magnificent — it has a bunch of hidden details referencing things from across the show’s five seasons — the best elements of this kit might actually be the minifigs, which cover just about all of the series’ main characters, and the cars, the WSQK radio station van and Steve Harrington’s BMW.

Raymond Weil Toccata Heritage x seconde/seconde/

Raymond Weil teams up with esteemed horological artist seconde/seconde/ for this irreverent take on dress watch “rules.” A special version of RW’s recent Patek Ellipse-inspired Toccata Heritage, the watch’s dial features markings cheekily indicating how much of your shirt cuff should cover the watch for different situations: biz casual, semi-formal and formal. The dial is also split in half, with the darker side intended to be hidden under your cuff at all times. The whole thing plays with the idea of outdated dress codes related to watches in seconde/seconde/’s typical fun fashion. Limited to 50 pieces, the watch is available from Raymond Weil for $2,075.

Roll Recovery Solace Collection

The Boulder, Colorado-based, athlete-focused brand upgrades its footwear offerings with slides (shown) and flip-flops featuring uppers made of genuine suede that’s easy on the feet and the eyes. An adjustable vamp and secondary strap let you dial in the fit over the top of the foot, while your soles rest and recover comfortably on molded footbeds made of Superplush foam, derived from Bloom algae-based materials.

Mercedes-Baby Strollers

Do you and your significant other have a pair of Three-Point Stars in the garage, but feel bad that your little ones are missing out on all the fun? Mercedes-Benz just revealed its new line of luxury and sporty baby strollers. In partnership with Hartan, the automaker just launched a full range of them. The models include Performance, Avantgarde, All-Terrain, and even the AMG GT2, and they are all designed and themed to match the grown-up Benzes in the stable, whether it’s a current model, an iconic classic, or even a high-performance AMG model. Each one also comes with its own unique set of features, just like the real steel. For instance, the All-Terrain model comes with beefier tires and an integrated handbrake for tougher terrain, while the AMG GT2 comes with fancy multi-spoke AMG wheels wrapped in more paved surface-oriented rubber. All four strollers even come with adjustable suspension (but sadly, no fancy AIRMATIC), along with adaptable clips for Bag2Go accessories. But like the actual cars, you will need to reach deep into your pockets for this sort of baby swag.

With a 20-liter capacity and separate quick-access pocket keeping your phone and keys safe, this lightweight backpack is as durable and useful as it is minimal.

Porsche Panamera Turbo “Sonderwunsch”

As part of its Sonderwunsch (special request) program, Porsche turned a Panamera Turbo into an ultra-luxurious, Maybach-rivaling one-off. Around the outside, it sports a two-tone paint job consisting of Leblon Violet Metallic and Sunset Red, with Avium Metallic accents and subtle gold flake in the top coat. Complemented by an interior outfitted with a champagne fridge, a cigar humidor and various other special touches, it makes for a truly refined take on one of the German automaker’s most controversial sedans.
