Finding men’s cologne on the market nowadays can give you a headache and that’s literal, I mean smelling strong cologne from departmental stores of mens’ perfume section can give you the headache as we all know men’s fragrance can be strong.
Anyway, as a woman you know I must find something sweet while holding on to the strong musky base when I smell a man, I don’t mind to smell musk from a man but must not solely be musky but with soft enough note appropriate for a man like vanilla, rose, citrus, etc. The gentle sweet note must be there as we’ve met men that the moment they come near, the strong scent from their fragrance just overpowers your nose – but yes you wear it strong as I love a good fragrance but can it have a soft edge please?
So when it comes to shopping the best fragrance as a gift for that man in your life, you’re best advised to be open minded – look for all the different notes from light, sweet, musk, intense to fresh etc, you will eventually find something that soothe the receiver and if you’re gifting yourself it’s the way to find the best fragrance. Be open to know some fragrances may not match your personality fully but be ready to welcome something new – although I’m yet to see a fragrance that does not speak of a person’s character except if you love to pay attention details.
When it’s comes to wearing your fragrance, only place it in areas where it will serve as background to true you which is where placement is very important – your wrist, your neck and your true skin underneath your clothes not on the clothes as it might be too much or ever stain the clothes.
The Christmas season is always a season to play with sandalwood meaning strong fragrances but the patience in experimenting with different types of notes is always a way to discover your personality but then if you’r gifting someone – it’s good to get to know the person’s character and that will help to decide which fragrance best suit them. And if experimenting with different fragrances is too much for you if gifting a loved one, learning what type of fragrance the receiver wears can be used as a guide to know what you can buy them as a gift. The key is to have fun while doing it:
