5 Favorite Colognes that I’ve Been Wearing Recently

by

People always seem to be searching for the best fragrances on the market, so that they can buy one of them up, and wear them every single day forever and ever. I’m a bit different in that respect, I certainly have scents that I enjoy immensely, however, I also always seem to be wearing different scents based on the weather, the occasion, or my mood. Sometimes, I wish to be bold with my choice, while other times I prefer something low key, that will only be noticed by someone getting very close. For this post, I wanted to share the five colognes that I seem to be wearing the most over the past couple of months. These aren’t all my favorites or what I would term the best but they are one’s that seem to fit my mood and style at the moment and may be a great choice for your own as well.

Style prend de nombreuses formes et peut être exprimée à travers une variété de sens. Visuellement, on dit que les vêtements à faire l’homme. Une bonne coupe de cheveux et une promenade confiance peut aller un long chemin vers la façon dont les autres vous perçoivent. Le parfum est un sentiment très spécial pour nous, les humains, car il peut repousser aussi facilement qu’il peut attirer et si un homme a le droit parfum il sera attirer beaucoup. Cologne est un accessoire de mode et fait une déclaration au sujet de votre style comme un homme, ce qui peut causer des problèmes, si vous faites le mauvais état ​​d’une eau de Cologne terribles. Jamais à craindre, si vous avez besoin d’aide pour choisir la meilleure eau de Cologne pour vous, cette liste vous aidera à vous orienter dans la bonne direction car il ya plusieurs choix de différents types et gammes de prix. Chaque parfum est soit liée à de Fragrancex.com ou Fragrancenet.com, que je l’ai trouvé à être les deux premiers choix pour acheter des parfums en ligne.

La Nuit de L’Homme-Ce parfum Yves Saint Laurent propose des notes de lavande, bergamote, et de cèdre. Il est un peu douce odeur avec un arôme de longue durée.

la nuit de l'homme

Givenchy Jouer Intense– Une entrée récente dans le monde de Cologne mais qui a eu un impact immédiat. Ce parfum crie masculinité mais peut être un peu écrasante si trop est porté.

play intense

Versace Homme– Un parfum élégant et sophistiqué qui est fantastique pour une nuit sur la ville. Il ya quelques notes florales mais celui-ci est certainement pour les hommes.

versace man

Creed Aventus– Creed est un standard dans le monde des parfums et semble toujours à développer des parfums étonnants qui sont à la fois unique et assez exclusif. Creed a commencé comme un fabricant de parfum pour les cours royales d’Europe bien avant les derniers siècles. Aventus est l’un des meilleurs de Cologne que Creed a produit avec des ingrédients de jasmin, de pommes françaises, cassis, bergamote et italien. Aventus est un choix coûteux mais vaut bien l’investissement pour ceux qui ont les moyens.

aventus

Armani Code– Ce parfum d’Armani est propre et raffiné avec une odeur fantastique qui ne attarde pas, mais on se souviendra.

The One for Men by Dolce & Gabbana– Au moins un Dolce devait faire la liste, je jouis également Light Blue de D & G. Ceci est un de mes préférés de Cologne, car elle est sexy et pas très forte.

DolceGabbana_The_One_For_Men

L’Instant De Guerlain– pas aussi connu que d’autres parfums sur cette liste, mais cela est vraiment très bonne. Ceci est un parfum chaleureux avec des notes d’agrumes, ce qui en fait un excellent choix pour ces jours francs au cours de l’été et au printemps. Cependant, il peut également être porté à grand effet pendant une nuit. Possible parfum signature pour le bon type de gars.

l'instant guerlain

Bvlgari Pour Homme-Un parfum boisé qui est rafraîchissant et masculin. Des notes de musc, bois de rose et le poivre.

bvlgari homme

Dreamer par Versace– Un parfum très élégant et séduisant de Versace. Dreamer est incroyable et une eau de Cologne qui sera toujours attirer l’attention de ces dames. Il commence fort avant maturation sur quelque chose de plus léger et plus doux. Notes comprennent: fleurs sauvages, de lin, de l’ambre et du tabac.

Exceptional…because you are Cologne Review

by

I have been writing reviews of colognes for the past few weeks or so on this site and some of these have come from samples that I ordered for fragrancenet.com. One sample that I didn’t order but, rather, received for free was one I had never heard of called Execptional…because you are for men. I was pleased to get another sample in the package that arrived at my door but I have to admit that the title made me laugh at how lame it is…because it is. Apparently, being exceptional alone wasn’t enough. Whatever. When I open the fragrance vial, I was pleasantly surprised as to how much I liked this cologne and as such felt the need to add it to my reviews.

exceptional

Exceptional…because you are notes:

bergamot, cardamom, violet, juniper berry, plum, incense, vetiver, sandalwood, musk

 

Just by looking at the list of notes you can tell that Exceptional is going to be a fruity/floral based colognes, which is something that I generally like in a fragrance.  The incense and the musk help to add a bit of spice and sophistication to the aroma and helps to create a masculine vibe to the scent. Just upon my initial judgment of this cologne, I really enjoyed the smell and was looking forward to wearing it out during the day.

This is a very light and clean fragrance, that has a definite sensuality to it.  It’s a cologne for men that could be termed sexy in its subtle presentation. This is for sure a fragrance that ladies will like on a man.

However, I have tried wearing this cologne and both times it faded quickly. I honestly had no idea I was even wearing the fragrance. It was as if it simply wouldn’t ‘stick’. This morning, I even put on more of Exceptional than I normally would any other cologne and still, nothing. I am really disappointed that I haven’t gotten a good performance from this scent because it truly is wonderful. Reading other reviews, I’ve seen that others have the same complaint as me while it seems, still other people, are very happy with the results they’re getting. I don’t know, I want to like this cologne but it may be another scent like The One by Dolce & Gabbana, that I cannot invest in despite its fantastic scent because it simply won’t hold. Perhaps, you can get different results.

 

Best Colognes for a Night Out: Evening Wear Fragrances for Men

by

Like many other fashion accessories men’s fragrances have uses that are applicable to only certain times of year and places you visit. For instance, wearing a certain eau de toilette at work may not go over well with your clients or co-workers but the same scent for a night out on the town would prove quite seductive for the ladies. There are however, plenty of scents that balance between work and play and provide a man versatility to smell great in all circumstances. The following list of colognes consist of what I feel are the top colognes for evening wear, especially at hangouts such as bars and clubs. Some on the list will be specifically tailored for those places while others will offer the aforementioned versatility.

 

Higher Energy by Christian Dior– This highly sensual fragrance from the house of Dior, has an energetic spice to it that is very pleasing to the senses. Higher Energy is a scent that isn’t too heavy but does allow for use in multiple venues and situations. Higher Energy Review

Bvlgari Extreme– A woody eau de toilette with a touch of oriental spice to it. This is a nightlife fragrance through and through, sexy and masculine. Best Bvlgari Colognes

Joop!– A classic from the late 1980s that remains popular to this day. On the more inexpensive side but still delivers a great fragrance for those nights out. Joop! Review

La Nuit De L’homme by YSL– I love colognes from Yves Saint Laurent and this is amongst the best. A pretty unique fragrance, that not too many guys wear, so this could be a good bet for a signature scent. Long lasting and an all-around fantastic smell. Top YSL Scents

Euphoria by Calvin Klein– Women seem to enjoy this scent by Calvin Klein. Many of Klein’s fragrances are unisex and while there is a Euphoria for women also, this one is just right for men.

Gucci Guilty– Gucci has made some amazing scents for both men and women over the years. Guilty is a response to the popularity of the female edition with the same name. Notes include lemon and orange blossom but settle into a unique and sensual experience.

Dirty English by Juicy Couture– A charismatic aroma that might not be for all tastes but definitely one that is unique and will capture positive attention. Dirty English Review

Givenchy Play Intense– You may have seen advertisements for this cologne featuring Justin Timberlake but beyond just the promotion of Play Intense hides a remarkable fragrance for the nightlife.

Perry Ellis 360 Red– An inexpensive fragrance that delivers an aroma that rivals the more expensive designer options. Great for younger guys.

Arrogant by English Laundry– Yeah, the name is quite to the point, isn’t it? Don’t let that hold you back from trying this one out because it is a great smelling cologne. Lots of complements with this one.

There you have it, a sampling of the best colognes for a night out. Going out provides men with an opportunity to use a more unique scent that exudes sexuality and will attract the opposite sex. By no means is this meant to be a complete list, however, choosing any of the colognes on this list won’t steer you too wrong because they all have established track records with many satisfied customers.
