Women are great at shopping. They can think of fantastic and thoughtful gifts that really show that they care. Men on the other hand are rubbish. I think it is partly because we pay little or no attention to what our women like or simply don't understand the difference between what's nice and what's not. As a result there is an almost infinite number of men sat preparing their Christmas shopping list and scratching their heads over what to buy their partner.



Christmas is the time for perfume. It is a wonderful option for desperate men that want a guaranteed hit with their women. But be careful you must buy the right one! There are thousands of celebrity endorsed perfumes so be sure you get the right one. This article will guide you through the choices.

Christina Aguilera

The Christina Aguilera scent has fruity top notes such as tangerine and blackcurrant, heart notes of Jasmine, Peony and Plum and base notes of musk, amber, precious woods and creamy vanilla. The fragrance is said to ignite sensuality, seduction and confidence in the woman that wears it. It is said that men adore the star qualities of sexiness and confidence that Christina Aguilera exhibits. So what does it say about the wearer? Mmm I'll hold my tongue.

Katie Price

The fragrance from Katie Price was presented with the tag line 'one spray and you're stunning!' again, I'm unconvinced. But then I'm not a 12year old girl and I don't want to get my tits out for money. The scent does not smell like trout, as had been assumed by my outspoken work colleague instead it delivers Mandarin and Bergamot top notes, heart notes of strawberry, violet, jasmine and rose as well as patchouli, musk and vanilla base notes. Overall it is a floral and musky fragrance.

The marketing department have said that the fragrance portrays a feminine and confident woman. I might say it portrays something else but I'm not going to be cynical. It comes in a beautiful glass bottle with a silver lid.

Sean John

This fragrance is from Sean 'diddy' Combs is a fruity and floral scent designed for women. It is named Unforgiveable Woman and is said to realise Puff Daddy's vision of a strong, modern woman with a heated passionate side. The fragrance delivers warm, creamy, luscious, floral and fruity scent. The top notes contain bergamot and pina colada with the heart notes consisting of freesia, jasmine and violet. Base notes of vanilla, coco de mer and sandalwood give the fragrance a really distinctive scent. Sean Combs commented on the inclusion of pina colada in the fragrance saying that 'we all have an emotional connection to pina colada' erm... well perhaps.

Kate Moss

The latest fragrance from Kate Moss is titled 'Kate'. Top notes include orange blossom and pink pepper and the scent delivers a rich blend of floral heart notes that include lily of the valley, heliotrope, magnolia, peony and rose petal. Base notes of Vetiver, Sandalwood and Ambret seeds. Kate Moss is a modern icon known for her incredible beauty and sophisticated fashion sense. Feminine, unforgettable and wild, the fragrance is said to deliver a true to life portrait of Kate Moss. In my opinion this by far the best option for men that aren't really sure. There aren't many women that would mind being associated with Kate Moss whereas some might not like being associated with the likes of Christina Aguilera and Katie Price.
