About Jerome – Founder of Dapper & Groomed

Bonjour, I’m Jerome.

I’m a 51-year-old French lifestyle blogger living in the beautiful town of Thornbury (north Bristol), UK. I’m also a proud father of four, a skincare enthusiast, a fragrance lover, and a bit of a tech geek—especially when it comes to audio gear and mobile gadgets.

Since 2014, I’ve been writing at Dapper & Groomed, a blog I first started as a daddy blog during my kids’ early years. What began as a personal journal evolved into something much bigger: a trusted lifestyle destination for men who want to take care of themselves, look good, and feel more confident—at any age.

From Blogger to Full-Time Creator

In 2024, after ten years of blogging on the side, I took the leap and became a full-time content creator. It wasn’t an easy decision, but turning 50 gave me the push I needed to focus on what I truly love—helping men rediscover themselves.

My content now spans:

  • Skincare and grooming for men over 35

  • Personal fragrance reviews

  • Tech gadgets and accessories (especially audio gear)

  • Honest reviews of men’s sex toys and wellness products

  • Reflections on fatherhood, aging, and modern masculinity

What You’ll Find on Dapper & Groomed

I write the kind of reviews I wish I could have read years ago—personal, honest, and detailed, without all the fluff. If I say something is good, it’s because I’ve actually used it. If I don’t like something, I’ll tell you why. That’s my promise to you.

You’ll also find gift guides, unboxing videos, and reflections on work, wellness, and navigating life as a 50-year-old man in today’s world.

LIfestylewithjerome – My YouTube Channel

In 2016, I launched a YouTube channel called lifestylewithjerome—a space where I talk about everything from skincare to headphones, relationships to productivity, all from the perspective of a man in his prime. You’ll also find product unboxings and short reviews.
