How To Choose The Best Perfume For Men
Are you planning to gift the best perfume for your loved ones? It has never been an easy task for you to pick the right perfume for yourself, then how do you expect it to be an easy task when you are picking for your loved ones. You will always want it to be more special and sweet when you gift it to someone. Even if you are buying it for yourself, you will have to check a lot of things before you make a choice. If you are not sure how to start, then let us start here with a buying guide. It has all the important that you need to check before making a choice. That way, you will be able to pick one good perfume for men.
Choose the scent or fragrance:
When you look at the range of options available in the market, you will be surprised. You will not even have the idea that a perfume can be made with such fragrance as well. You may want to try the different and unique options in the market, but still, you may like a few and don’t like a few even when they are unique. So, you need to find a smell, scent or fragrance of your choice.
Test it on you:
One important thing that many people miss when buying perfume is testing it. Many of you might be doing it, but are you doing it right? Usually, you get strips to test the fragrance of the perfume. But when you are spraying it the strip, you will be able to smell only the top notes of the perfume. You will not understand how it is going to smell when you put it on your skin. Every perfume will smell different on different skins, and how can you buy it by testing on a piece of the paper strip.
Say NO to gas:
There are many perfumes that come with a lot of gas on them. You should always make sure that the perfume that you are buying has zero percent gas. That way, you will be able to enjoy the smell better, and it will last longer as well.
Pick based on the season:
Perfumes can be picked based on the season as well. Like water, mint, aqua and ocean breeze are perfect for summer, and Woody scents are good for winter. For the rainy season, you should go for sandalwood or oriental scent; even cinnamon is also a good choice.
Pick based on skin type:
Not all perfumes suit all skin types, as they can cause irritation on the skin. So, you need to make sure that the perfume that you are picking is suitable for your skin. If you have oily skin, then you can pick any fragrance as almost all of them suit you. If you have sensitive skin or nose, then it is always good if you can choose the natural fragrance. Always try to avoid artificial scents as they can irritate your skin and also nose. Sometimes, rashes can also be caused due to the sensitive skin and reaction of the perfume with your skin. Woody scents are good if you have dry skin types. Some can be applied directly to the skin, and some can be sprayed on clothes as well. If you are spraying directly on the skin, then you should be careful as a wrong choice can irritate people with sensitive skin.
Check the notes:
The fragrance of the perfume is classified into three notes like Top notes, heart notes and base notes. The fragrance that you will be able to smell immediately when you spray the perfume is the top note. But after some time, you will be able to smell a different fragrance as the top notes fade off and you start feeling the heart notes. The top notes will last for just the first 10 to 15 minutes. The next 30 minutes, you will just smell the heart notes. When the heart note fades off after 30 minutes, you will smell the base note, and it will last for at least 12 hours to 24 hours.
Pick depending on the occasion:
Like we already discussed, perfumes are available in different fragrances. They can be mild to strong. You will have to make the right choice depending on the occasion for which you are choosing the perfume. If you are choosing it for office, then you will have to make sure that the perfume is mild, especially the base note of it. But it is for any special occasion like weddings, dates, or parties, and then you can go for mid-range to strong perfumes as the strong smell will last for a long time.
Bottom Line
A perfume bottle can be one of the best gifts for anyone, your dad, brother, friend, son, husband, or just anyone. But all you have to do is just make sure that you are making the right choice. Not all the perfumes available in the market are good, and each one has their own preference. So, you need to spend some time to choose the right product. The fragrance, alcohol content, how strong it is, and its price are some of the important parameters to keep in mind when picking a perfume for men. Not all the brands are the same, and some can be very strong. If you have a sensitive nose, then it can be very irritating for you or the person using the perfume. Always make sure that you are choosing a safe and best perfume, which leaves nice fragrance, but does not cause any irritation to the skin or nose.
