Men's Fragrance A-Z

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT COLOGNE FOR YOU

Selecting a scent as a man is the same and different than selecting a scent as a woman. A lady wants to be remembered long after she leaves a room. This is why she chooses fragrances that she can layer on. The combination often intrigues and inspires even the most dedicated of individuals.

As a guy, you want to be remembered as well, but you don’t want it to be for some froo-froo flowery cologne scent. You want something that inspires images of masculinity and testosterone. For some guys, this involves rolling around in the grass and dirt. For others, it means hours of sweating for that glistening sheen.

The good news is you don’t have to sweat for hours or roll around in the dirt to have a lingering manly scent. In fact, the scents available now can even entice others like pheromones and have potential dates crawling all over you.

What Kind of Man Are You?

Spicy:  These scents are designed for guys that like an exciting life and exotic foods. These fragrances are loaded with heady spicy scents like sandalwood, driftwood, and frankincense.

Casual: These are for occasional cologne wearers. These guys are usually too busy for a serious scent because they are out having too much fun. These casual scents are based on light, subtle florals like lavender, lilac, or rose.

Tropical or citrusy: Many males love the idea of sitting on a tropical beach with a drink in their hand. If this sounds like you, then you are probable a citrusy scent or tropical male. The great thing about these scents is they don’t smell like you took a bath in orange juice. These scents are invigorating and energizing. Lemon, grapefruit and even orange essence is often added to offset heavier, musky scents.

Musky: This is the heavier or darker base tone set of scents. Most people think of musk when they think of masculine or testosterone filled scents. If you were a kilt and compete in the strongman competition every year, this set of scents may be for you.

Price

The good news is not every cologne that smells like a million bucks costs a million bucks. There are a lot of cologne choices that are rather affordable like the classic Brut by Faberge. Of course, there are designer fragrances with some of the same base notes and characteristics that are designer scents like Versace por Homme that cost a bit more. Don’t let the cost deter you from picking the best cologne for yourself. You are worth every scent-filled penny.

Convenience

Most people choose their cologne fragrances based on what is conveniently located around in their community. The good news is Cleopatra’s Choice has over 2500 fragrances available to choose from. On top of that, we even deliver right to your doorstop. Shopping around or making a big trip to the city isn’t necessary anymore.

Warnings

Remember to smell a scent several times before you purchase it. Cologne is made of 3 levels of scents. The first smell is the high tones that dissipate within minutes The mid tones vanish after ten to fifteen minutes. The base tones are what linger for hours.  If you spray it when you start shopping and you still love it when you are finished shopping, then that scent will be a good purchase for you.
