Fragrance for Men

I knew a guy in college that wore the best cologne. He always smelled good, but there were days that he smelled like he took a shower with his fragrance for men rather than water. I never found a way to tell him that he was wearing too much, but I guess it is one of those things that is never easy to say. However, he is not the only one that does it, and there are also many women that have the same problem. I can’t even say I have not been guilty of this on occasion.

The problem with fragrance for men and for women is that when someone is wearing it, they get use to the smell and they think their cologne or perfume has worn off. It is usually still going strong, but because they can’t smell it, they add more. This can be overwhelming. If you have ever been in an elevator with someone who has done this, you know just what I mean. Though it might smell good, it can be overwhelming, and can even give some people a headache.

My husband has yet to choose a fragrance for men that he wants to wear all of the time. Thankfully, he is never one for overkill, but I wish he would pick one and stick with it. He seems to buy something different each week, and I can’t say that I like all of them. In fact, he has yet to find one that I really like, so perhaps that is why he keeps trying to find something new. I think I may have to go out and get him something I like and encourage him to stick with that one type of fragrance for men.

When looking for fragrance for men, you have to treat it as if you were buying ladies perfume, in a way. The more you pay for something the better it is going to smell, and the longer it is going to last. If you really want to smell good, you should put a little money into it. Even better, if you have something that is long lasting, you know it will not need to be reapplied. This means you won’t be adding more fragrance for men when you already have enough on, and you won’t be knocking people over when you walk by. Technically, any perfume or cologne should only be evident when someone special is close to you.
