Score a Limited-Time Deal on the Latest GQ Box
Great Deal Alert: For a limited time, nab your first GQ Box—which includes Sudio's S3 speaker, plus a whole bunch of other editor selects—for just $59 $29.50 with code WELCOME50.
Every edition of the GQ Box is a labor of love. For months, we test, debate, and then test again the raddest products on the market, before deciding which are worthy of inclusion in our quarterly greatest-hits compendium. It's never easy (what about love is?) but the juice is always worth the squeeze. Mostly, that's because each time we mail one of these suckers out, the response from you, our favorite sounding board, tends to veer on the euphoric. When you're happy, we're happy—and we've got a feeling the Fall 2023 box is about to make a whole lot of people a whole lot of happy. (And then sell out real quick, as per usual.)
But before we get all that, allow us to explain how the Box actually works: Every three months, we pile a bunch of GQ editor-endorsed goodies in a box—menswear essentials, top-tier grooming products, useful gear, and more. Then we ship it to your house. Each box costs $59—or $216 for 4 boxes, a full year—but what’s inside is worth $200 or more. It’s a no-brainer. (See more details and subscribe to the GQ Box here.)
For the Fall 2023 box, we did our darndest to equip you with everything you need to feel crazy-stoked about the return of pumpkin spice season. A palm-sized portable speaker that’ll look killer on your coffee table? Check. A brand new scent from one of the buzziest indie names in the fragrance arena? You bet. Add to that a slew of skin care upgrades, and soon enough you’ll be just as pumped as we are to break out the lightweight jackets again.
Below, you can see everything we’ve packed into this installment of the GQ Box—and why it’s such a steal.

New Member Gift: Breda Virgil Watch
For over a decade now, the upstart watchmakers at Breda have made their Swiss counterparts quake. So for our spring box, we collaborated with their team on a GQ-exclusive dress watch oozing in retro charm, complete with a moss green dial and croc-embossed leather strap designed in the brand’s Dallas HQ. (Retail value: $150)

Sudio S3 Speaker
Sudio’s gently rounded portable speaker looks more like a piece of art than a powerhouse of audio innovation, but its discreet size masks a bold sound. The S3 boasts up to six-to-seven hours of play time, is water-resistant, and can be connected to another S3 to amplify your music. Most importantly, it’s built to go wherever you do—just plug in, charge up, and let your tunes play on. (Retail value: $79)

Hawthorne Work Cologne
True to their name, Hawthorne’s Work colognes smell just as great at your regular 9-to-5 as they do wherever you’re headed when you log off. So to help upgrade your fragrance rotation, we’ve surprised you with a full-size bottle of one of the brand’s perennial crowd-pleasers. Each unique fragrance is identified by the description on the back label of your bottle and each promises to conjure autumn’s distinct bouquet with every spritz. (Scents vary.) (Retail value: $50)

First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser
First Aid Beauty's products are cruelty-free, safe for sensitive skin, dermatologist-tested with no artificial fragrance: in other words, it's damn-near impossible to beat the brand’s value proposition. To prove it, we’ve hooked you up with a Dopp kit-ready version of its face cleanser, a no-frills cream that soothes and calms your skin. (Retail value: $12)
- 7/12
Aveda Rosemary Mint Purifying Shampoo
We dig Aveda’s suite of grooming products so much we couldn’t resist doubling down on them. The brand’s lightly scented shampoo is one of the best we’ve tried thanks, in part, to what isn’t in it—no phthalates, silicone, parabens, or any of the other ingredients that make hair care buffs balk. It’s gentle enough for everyday use, but we’d still recommend lathering up only once or twice a week, tops. (Retail value: $11)
- 8/12
Bag Balm Skin Moisturizer Mini Tin
Bag Balm’s cult-loved heavy-duty skin moisturizer is made with only five ingredients and is your go-to for soothing distressed skin from head to toe. It leans on petrolatum to lock in moisture, lanolin to soften, and comes in the perfect size to stash in your tote when your chapped lips need a touch-up. If you can’t trust a gang of cheery Vermonters to concoct a groovy dry-skin panacea, who can you turn to? (Retail value: $6)

WESN The MT
The Detroit-based gear wonks at WESN specialize in pocket-size tools, and their signature jack-of-all-trades contraption—part bottle opener, part flathead screwdriver, part pry bar—is definitive proof that good things really do come in small packages. (Retail value: $38)
*Members will receive the WESN multitool, Able moisturizer, or Boscia retinol treatment based on member history.

Able Skincare Anti-Aging Duo Moisturizer
Time waits for no man, except, perhaps, the well-moisturized one. That’s the theory UK-based Able Skincare proposes, in the form of an anti-aging cream infused with a powerful one-two punch of retexturing and resurfacing ingredients. In layman’s terms, it helps vanish those fine lines you’ve been ogling with dread—and it’s about as effective a response to Father’s Time march as we’ve found. (Retail value: $104)
*Members will receive the WESN multitool, Able moisturizer, or Boscia retinol treatment based on member history.

Boscia 0.6% Pro-Retinol Repair + Renew Waterless Advanced Treatment
This retinol and vitamin C-packed treatment is a perfect way to pack some anti-aging firepower into your nightly skin care lineup. Just gently apply a few drops to your face prior to your go-to serum or moisturizer and pretty soon you’ll see fine lines start to soften.
