The Scent of a Man

Glossy magazine ads and late-night commercials will have you believe a simple spritz of cologne will bring a beautiful woman begging and to her knees. The image of the "average Joe", holding a box, while simultaneously fighting off the supermodel, who won't take no for an answer, seems to be the common commercial storyline. Although, these images can be quite entertaining, they can also be somewhat misleading. The truth is, pairing up the right scent with the right man takes research, patience and a little bit of trial and error.

The idea that any popular cologne will do, is a ridiculous myth. While one expensive bottle can smell incredibly sexy on one man, it may take on a totally different direction when mixed with another's natural chemistry. It pays to understand the right method in choosing your fragrance and hopefully never having to endure a bunch of unused cologne bottles cluttering your cabinet.

The wrong scent can also be horrible, detrimental to the happening single guy and send the wrong signals. Some can even cause the death of an otherwise great first date. Never underestimate the sense of smell. An aromatic aphrodisiac at the very least.

Women are taken by scent, whisked away, mesmerized, and easily allowed to imagine the most sensual encounters. The scent of a man can direct a woman's desire to hit on overload every time. It can fill up her senses with gratifying ecstasy. The right scent can conjure images of illicit intrigue and heighten sexual arousal. The most amazing cologne can leave us weak and unable to deny the magic of chemistry. And, when done correctly, a man's scent can leave a lasting mark on a woman's most private romantic memory. Ultimately, what you are seeking is just that, a lasting impression.

Choosing Cologne ~

It's very important to become aware of how drastic cologne can change throughout the day. Simply testing in the store before purchasing will not be enough.

Take advantage of samples before making your final decision. The first application of a scent will be powerful and at onset very strong, making it difficult to judge it's true character.

As the scent has a chance to interact with your own body chemistry, it will take on the true heart of your signature fragrance. Your choice of cologne should be based on it's true lingering presence. After about an hour, it will have had time to completely settle, allowing you to make a better educated final decision.
