What Kind of Man Are You? - Know Your Ideal Scent!!

COLOGNE - The Classic Guy

This is where men's fragrances started, with fresh citrussy smells that are bright and clean. You can see why they were valued in the Eighteenth century when they invented, back in the days before rigorous personal hygiene.  Colognes do not last too long on the skin, bu they remain the quintessential genre of fragrance.

If this sounds good, then try:
Ralph Lauren The Big Pony Collection-No.1, the sporty version in the blue bottle.  It is rich in lime and grapefruit.

AQUATIC  - The Clean Guy

Calone is synthetic fragrance invented in the Sixties to scent detergent powder, but it became an olfactive sensation when it appeared as the defining note in Davidoff's iconic Cool Water in 1988.  It has since spawned a whole family of fragrances reliant on the way it mimics the smell of the sea, and of watermelons.

If this sounds good, then try:
L'Eau D'Issey Pour Homme

ORIENTAL - The Romantic Guy

Much of the traditional appeal of fragrance was its exoticism, so it's no surprise that oriental fragrances remain popular.  While the hint of sweetness that comes with the characeristic vanilla note ought to be controversial in a man's fragrance they are very soft and soothing, which is why they often appeal to women.

If this sounds good, then try:
Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier

SPORTS - The Athletic Guy

There is a whole world of sports-inspired fragrances, and a real consensus has emerged around the way they should smell.  This tends to involve a fresh citrus note, to reassure the wearer, and everyone else, that he had a shower before he left the gym.  The freshness tends to give way to a more rounded clean note - like the one in the aquatic fragrances.

If this sounds good, then try:
Gucci by Gucci Sport Pour Homme
