Scent of A Man



INTRO

Cologne not only gives a man that final touch of sophistication when he's getting ready for the day or an event, but it also sets the mood. The right scent can pick up your confidence and help boost your self-esteem. I'm thrilled to share my favorite colognes for your consideration, as well as some new scents that are trending right now, and where you can purchase them online!


AESTHETIC FAVES

AQUA DI GIO:

Giorgio Armani describes the product on their site as "(...)aquatic, hyacinth fragrance opens with a splash of fresh, calabrian bergamot, neroli and green tangerine. Light, aquatic nuances mix with jasmine fragrance, crisp rock rose, rosemary, fruity persimmon and

warm Indonesian patchouli to create a men's fragrance that is both fresh and sensual." Created in 1996, this fragrance for men is a strong lingering scent that isn't too overbearing. A couple of spritz is all you need to hold you for the entire day. It's scent reminds me of being out at sea or being on an exotic island. It's mood is natural and authentic while exuding it's woody marine freshness. I used to wear the perfume of the same name for women and it smells sooo amazing. Also makes a great gift for a wife/girlfriend!

NOIR BY BATH & BODY WORKS:

Bath & Body Works describes their product as "(...)an air of mystery with this exotic blend of black cardamom, smoky vanilla & a hint of musk." When I tested this in-store, I was hooked. I am a huge fan of men's cologne because the absolute "scent of a man" is intriguing! An unattractive man could walk by, but with the right cologne, he can still turn heads. To complete this daring scent and to enbody the entire experience of what this fragrance as to offer; they also provide bodywash, exfoliating cleanser, body spray, and body cream. I also recommend "BOURBON" and "OCEAN", both by Bath & Body. Bourbon is an intoxicating scent that is just as bold as the drink of the same name; offering a bold/spicy mix of white pepper, dark amber, & Kentucky oak. Ocean is an explosive blend of blue cypress, vetiver, & coastal air that triggers images of sensual nights on clear blue waters!
