For years on end, men have been groomed about the importance of cologne working hand in hand with cleanliness. But the question then gets to be, how do you select the perfect cologne?
A beautiful subtle scent on a man is one the most attractive things because it gives elegance, sophistication, and masculinity. Rediscovering the simple basics of cologne includes understanding that this is a very complex type of fragrance as it is typically made from a mixture of essential oils, alcohol, and water.
As compared to other perfumes, the cologne has a lower concentration of essential oils, which makes it a bit lighter and more suitable for everyday use. It is usually applied to the pulse points, such as the neck, wrists, and chest, to create a subtle and long-lasting fragrance.
When choosing the perfect cologne, there are a few things that can help make your job slightly easier.
You can look for colognes that contain notes that appeal to you. It doesn’t matter if it’s fresh, citrusy scents or warm, spicy ones. What matters is that you pick one that has noted that you’re sure to enjoy.
Be aware of the season in which you’re picking your cologne. Fresh, clean scents are often best for spring and summer, while warm, woody scents are popular for fall and winter. Consider what the occasion for your cologne is. For daytime outings and events, a light, fresh scent may be more appropriate, while for the evenings, a stronger, more sophisticated scent can be more suitable.
Knowing how your skin type is quite important because it can affect how a cologne smells on you. For example, oily skin has a tendency of holding onto scents for longer, while dry skin may need a stronger fragrance.
More than anything else mentioned, it all boils down to your own personal preference. Choose a cologne that makes you feel confident and comfortable, and that you enjoy wearing.
