Bobos in Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got ThereIn his bestselling work of "comic sociology," David Brooks coins a new word, Bobo, to describe today's upper class those who have wed the bourgeois world of capitalist enterprise to the hippie values of the bohemian counterculture.

In his bestselling work of "comic sociology," David Brooks coins a new word, Bobo, to describe today's upper class--those who have wed the bourgeois world of capitalist enterprise to the hippie values of the bohemian counterculture. Their hybrid lifestyle is the atmosphere we breathe, and in this witty and serious look at the cultural consequences of the information age, Brooks has defined a new generation.

Do you believe that spending $15,000 on a media center is vulgar, but that spending $15,000 on a slate shower stall is a sign that you are at one with the Zenlike rhythms of nature? Do you work for one of those visionary software companies where people come to work wearing hiking boots and glacier glasses, as if a wall of ice were about to come sliding through the parking lot? If so, you might be a Bobo.

Soft, Good Smelling, Cleans Great!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Facial Cleanser
This is easily my favorite facial cleanser I have used TO DATE. The first thing I always notice with hygiene products is the scent, and you can trust me when I say it's the best smelling scent you'll recieve on any Male product. Scent - The best way to describe it would be Pine, vanilla, with a refreshing kick. It is SO nice! Cleansing - This is, surprisingly, one of the best facial cleansing products I've ever used. It goes on gently, and does not have that "burning" sensation that some products leave on your face. It washes off softly and leaves my face feeling VERY smooth. The only small problem I've run into is a little bit of dryness left on my cheeks, but my skin is VERY sensitive so it's understandable. A very small amount of moisturizer fixes that easily! Conclusion - It cleans my face very gently, and leaves it feeling clean, smooth, and hydrated! The scent is fantastic, unique, but not too strong. I recommend this to ANYONE! And would be an amazing gift!!!

Fantastic facial cleanser
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Facial Cleanser
This stuff is really good. I've been using it for a year now. I usually hate facial cleansers like Cetaphil because they dry your face out and smell like farmers soap. This one has a light musky smell and really makes you feel refreshed. I will keep buying this stuff as long as they keep making it.

Just buy some!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Facial Cleanser
Have been looking for a new product to replace my previous expensive cleanser, and couldn't be happier with this. A little bit does the job and feels great. Along with the matching moisturizer it's a win win combination! 70 year old male.

Awesome
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Facial Cleanser
Might go to facial cleaner for every day use. All the products from marlowe are awesome no exception. The scent kind of has a slight pine to it. I have bought several times now
