COLOGNE TIPS FOR MEN: BECOME A FRAGRANCE EXPERT

While it’s not a requirement to wear perfume, eau de toilette, or cologne, many men swear by it. Your scent will leave a lasting impression, even though it is important to look good. Ask another person to go on a date.

There is nothing more overwhelming than being welcomed by a new fragrance in a department store. It’s unlikely that you will be able to distinguish between five different fragrances even if you can get through the gaggles of sprayers and test strips. Before you purchase your first fragrance, it is important to research the market and seek out recommendations. You can then test several samples on your skin with patience.

Following Are The Tips To Help You Choosing Your Fragrance:

• Many men mistakenly use the terms aftershave and perfume interchangeably. However, these terms refer to the fragrance’s concentration levels which ultimately determine how long a scent lasts. The weakest fragrance, an Eau Fraiche, lasts for 1-2 hours. Next, you will need eau de parfum, eau toilette, Eau parfum, and finally parfum. These scents will continue to fill the room well after the last orders. This sliding scale can be adjusted to suit your needs (and budget), so you can choose whether you want a quick post-shower spritz, or an all-nighter for weddings and parties.
• A PHD in perfumery is not necessary to create a great fragrance. However, it helps to understand how they are made. The majority of traditional men’s perfumes are made up of three layers. These are the top notes that you will smell first. However, they quickly fade and give way to the middle notes, which last slightly longer, before being replaced by the base notes. You’ll be able to find new fragrances if you pay attention to the notes that are frequently found in your favorite scents.
• Using perfume for an occasion is just as important as dressing appropriately. You don’t have to worry about all the fumes. Each fragrance is classified into a “family” which can be used to indicate when it’s most effective. A light citrus scent with neroli would be appreciated by colleagues at work, while something earthy and musky is almost always the best choice for a date.
• You must wear the fragrance to properly shop for it. Scents can change over time and react differently to different body chemicals. So what smells great on blotting paper might not smell the same on you. Limit your testing to four, even if your goal is to create a signature scent you love for the rest of your life. You can spray one on each wrist, one on the inside of your elbows, and let them develop for three to four hours. Then, pick the one that smells the most roses.
• It can be difficult to find a scent that will last, with so many relaunches, remixes, and rebottling taking place every year. While you should always choose a fragrance that suits your personal tastes, it’s a good idea to stick with the old favorites if you don’t want to smell like the latest trend. It’s hard to find a cologne that hasn’t made it into the grooming halls of fame, such as Terre d’Hermes, Dior Sauvage and Bleu de Chanel.
