Alternative Living

It might be hard for those of us living "normal" lives to imagine, but some people prefer to spend their time isolated from modern society, at one with nature. Alternative Living was born from a quest to find out why. Penned/shot by photographer and Uncrate contributor Alex Strohl, the book shows what he and his wife Andera found through four months of living out of their car, using solar panels, a solar shower, and a roof top tent to make their vehicle as self-sufficient as possible. Passing through a solid chunk of Europe, reaching all the way past the Arctic Circle in Norway, they made friends, saw amazing sights, heard terrific stories, and gained a new insight into off-the-grid living that made them question their own day-to-day lives. Available in limited quantities, with the first 250 copies both signed and numbered.

Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street Parfum

This smooth and seductive ultra-male oriental fougère captivates both men and women alike. Inspired by the vibrant revival of Lafayette Street — a historic thoroughfare weaving through iconic New York neighborhoods like Soho, Little Italy, and Chinatown—the fragrance embodies the energy of its surroundings. It opens with fresh bergamot, coriander, and floral notes, transitions to a heart of velvety ambroxan and rich vanilla, and finishes with lingering dry wood, tonka bean, cedarwood, and warm grey amber. Encased in a sleek, leather-textured bottle, Lafayette Street is a celebration of modern masculinity and a tribute to Bond No. 9's roots.
