Choosing The Best Cologne For Men

By Morgan Lee


There are numerous colognes for men on today's market and each type offers something distinct. For this reason, choosing the best cologne for men is often a challenging endeavor. Whether a consumer is searching for such a product to wear himself or someone is purchasing the cologne as a gift, there is a vast array of choices available.

The mens' fragrance categories include musk, oriental, citrus, sport or spicy scents. Oriental fragrances offer a fragrance that is somewhat exotic. It typically has an undertone of orange as well as a combination of spice and musk. Sport fragrances usually have a woodsy or earthy smell such as moss or pine.

Modern scents are usually those that feature citrus notes. They typically have a lemon-lime scent. Spice or musk fragrances, however, are two of the most popular colognes with numerous consumers and have been for a many years.

When choosing such a product as a gift, one must be aware of the fact that all colognes change once they make contact with the wearer's skin. This is because once the scent is applied, it combines with the person's body chemicals, as well as any other products they may be wearing such as deodorant or hairspray. For this reason, each man will have a different reaction to various fragrances.

For this reason, a certain scent may smell great in its bottle, or on a particular person, but then have an undesirable reaction when used by someone else. This is also the reason many people take advantage of testers before choosing a fragrance. This will not be possible, however, if the product is being purchased as a gift.

If the product is intended as a gift, it is a good idea to keep the receipt in case it does not work out. Some websites and stores accept returns for such products. When buying a fragrance as a gift, the recipient's personality should be considered. For instance, if he is a sports fan, then it makes perfect sense to choose a sporty cologne. Citrus or spicy fragrances are great for young entrepreneurs. Oriental fragrances are an ideal choice for men who have a romantic side.

Those who are not sure about which cologne to buy should select musk, as this is a mild scent that appeals to almost everyone. It is also wise to comparison shop before a final purchase is made. Because there is such a wide variety of choices on today's market, one can be confident that he or she will find the best cologne for men.
