With the huge variety of fragrances, colognes and



perfumes available, it is understandable that men will

find it confusing and difficult to choose their

personal perfume. It is easy to get lost in the myriad

of scents and smells that some pick the wrong perfume

that does not compliment their personality and taste.

There are many different kinds of scents, oils and

essences being advertised which makes choosing one,

very challenging. Finding the right perfume that

compliments and enhances your personality is important.

You don't want a perfume that simply smells good but a

scent that becomes uniquely you ? irresistible,

alluring and attractive. There are many things a man

should consider when choosing a personal perfume. These

simple pointers are just to guide you in making the

right decision.

When choosing a perfume, go for one which appeals to

you and makes you feel great. Think of what kind of

smell you find most attractive. Is it the woody and

aromatic smell of spices? Then go for a spicy perfume.

If you love the smell of the fresh ocean breeze, then

you should choose an oceanic fragrance. If you feel

good about yourself, you will exude confidence, which

makes you much more attractive and charming. There are

six main categories of perfumes including:

1. Floral ? romantic and feminine, has flowers as a

dominant theme

2. Fruity - spicy and fresh with fruits used as part of

the formula

3. Oceanic - use synthetic elements to smell strongly

of the sea

4. Greens - fresh energetic perfumes that remind you of

the outdoors

5. Orientals - sexy exotic and intense perfumes that

smell of musk, vanilla, spices and opulent heavy

flowers

6. Woody - Perfume that smells like bark, moss and

other things you might find in the forest

Of course, not all of these perfumes will suit your

personality and taste. Go for a scent that will bring

out the best qualities in you. Pick a scent that is

subtle enough and not overpowering. You do not want to

smell as if you took a bath in your perfume. Your scent

should be sensual, but not overly sexy that you might

give the wrong signals. Choose a scent that comes

closer to the natural attractants in a man's body. By

accentuating those scents, your perfume becomes much

more effective and magnetic. For best effect, your

scent should elicit happy memories in a woman. Such a

scent will leave a woman wanting for more.

You can choose from many popular perfume brands. Some

of the recommended colognes and perfumes include the

following: Acqua de Gio by Armani has a strong citrus

scent that reminds one of summer. Most people love its

fresh scent. Cool Water by Davidoff is simply a classic

- cool, refreshing and smooth, it is perfect for

everyday wear. L'Eau D'Issey combines the scent of

citrus and tobacco for a differently exciting

fragrance. If you want a perfume that is elegant and

speaks of class and good taste, go for perfumes from

the French perfume houses Guerlain and the House of

Creed. You can also choose Penhaligon's, Czech and

Speake from England or Acqua di Parma from Italy.

Finding the perfect perfume that compliments your

style, personality and essence may be challenging and

difficult but it is also rewarding and enjoyable.

Perfume becomes a medium of expressing yourself. Having

the perfect scent makes a strong and lasting

impression.
