Men’s fragrances have been around for thousands of years. This comes as a surprise to many people because they think of cosmetics and perfumes as being very much a female thing and believe that their use by men is a relatively modern phenomenon. In reality, this is not true especially when it comes to fragrances.
The Romans, Egyptians, Chinese, Indians, Arabs and Greeks all have a history of using perfume and scented oils during their bathing rituals, which were usually partaken of by men.
Choosing Men’s Fragrances
Every man has a different natural smell, which means that a fragrance that smells good on one man will not necessarily smell good on another man. Generally speaking, it is best if a man chooses their own fragrance and does not mix those fragrances. Most men like to use more than one product, but it is best to stick to only one or two smells. For example have a fragrance for everyday use and one for use on nights out or special occasions.
Fragrance firms package their products to appeal to a certain kind of man, so if the packaging of a product appeals to you try that product out. You will be surprised at how often that product suits you and how often you like the smell of that product when you try it on. Try on the fragrance in the middle of the day once your natural body odour has had a chance to develop. Leave it on for a few hours and smell it again to be sure that it is the fragrance for you.
