Usually summers are full of backyard barbecues and hanging on the lawn. Unfortunately, yards are a rare find in the city which is why I love to spend so much time on my roof. When you think about it roofs are pretty much a New York lawn; sure the parks are great but it’s nice to just hop up a few stairs and be outside in your own “private” area. I’m lucky enough to have an awesome view of downtown which I try to take full advantage of and get inspiration from. Sometimes I’ll even take my guitar up with me to play a little ditty for the city. Another summer trend of mine is wearing the classic BOSS BOTTLED fragrance by HUGO BOSS with whom I partnered with for this shoot. Sharp with a warm woody base, BOSS BOTTLED is an unmistakably masculine scent for today’s man. It is the scent that complements the Man of Today and his path to success, making it perfect for summer days on the roof or a night out on the town. Buy it now at Macy’s.
