The image of
a man of present should also be thoroughly designed in the way a woman does for
herself, though the assortment of details to be used to make a man look more
solid and gorgeous is not too wide. It is a suit, a trendy tie, elegant
cufflinks, watches and that’s all for that. And the scarcity of men’s arsenal
is the reason why men are too keen on fragrances which show their masculine
instincts. Eventually the eau de cologne for men becomes the compulsory and
customary fragrance to go beyond the bounds of additional care products.
Being no
metrosexual, a man today cares of him in every attempt trying to please the
surrounding and impress in the way to strike the crowd not only women. A man
realizes today that his personal life and work promotion depend upon his image
and appearance in total. A man starts his every day with a shower and eau de
cologne to and the habit to look smart and nice-looking and care of himself eliminates
the negative opinion towards a man who smells and looks nice.
The history
of eau de cologne
The correct
age of perfume dates back to the middle of the XVIII century. That was the time
when the reputed Еаu de
Cologne originated to give the name to all colognes of all kinds. The history is
rich in various hypothesis on who invented that miracle and the French were
sure to be the pioneers while the Deutsch believe they created the perfume
though the fact of invention is far more significant which was the triggering
point to produce the fascinating, fresh and marvelous scent.
In the middle
of the XX century the fragrance industry reached the peak of flourishing. And the
start of the new epoch in perfumery for men was the eau de cologne Brut. The fragrance
with the musk and wood scents provoked the emotions which was absolutely new,
unknown and to strongly distinguish against the traditionally classic and graceful
fragrances for real gentlemen. The perfume
revealed the charm of protesting temper of the new society without any rigid
borders dividing the society into classes. It was universal and was designed
for all men, as such. At the same time there appears such perfume as Aramis,
Balafre, Drakkar, Safari and Yatagan with the expressive sexual appeal with
vivid and sports accent. Definitely, the scents are manly, massive, obviously
designed for strong and confident men.
The scent
for men of the ХХI century
Eau de cologne
for men presents the wide range of fragrances with various nuances. The modern market
of strong and masculine scents does not yield to womanly scents though they
differ, surely. Mainly they differ in basic notes when the majority of fragrances
have various wood, conifer, saucy, citrus, and oriental and sea scents while
the floral notes are left behind.
Lately the trendy
scents of lavender, sage and geranium (flowers for men), as well as some fruity
fragrances are in for men. The most popular scents today appear to be the Eternity
(for men), Ck One Calvin Klein, Opium Pour Homme Yves Saint Laurent, Hugo Boss,
Fahrenheit Christian Dior, Good Life Davidoff, Kenzo Pour Homme Kenzo and Le
Male Jean Paul Gottier.
As for the
choice available, every man has his own preferences to find his own scent.
However, the manufacturers of perfume for men have the niche for every new
perfume launched one by another for every particular taste. So, businessmen
with muscular temper and decisive life style will be offered calm but elegant
fragrances to vouch for solidity and firmness of men, like S.T. Dupont pour
homme, Presence by MontBlanc, Gentleman by Givenchy, Cerruti 1881 or the Pour
Monsieur by Chanel and many others.
A seducer
and a womanizer and a macho man will enjoy the Bazar offered by Christian
Lacroix, Bel Ami by Hermes, 102D Gucci Rush for men, Dolce & Gabbana pour
homme or Polo by Ralph Lauren.
The true
man, a lonely wolf, who is the real subject to seduce and conquer for any woman
is known to wear Memoire d'Homme by Nina Ricci, BLV by Bulgari, Egoist Platinum
by Chanel, Desire by Alfred Dunhill or Male by Masaki Matsushima.
Today men
are anxious with the same issues as women. So, the true man chooses
theappropriate fragrance and learns how to use it appropriately. He
does not use the shower gel, deodorant
and eau de cologne at the same time, he avoids using aggressive and
extremely sexual
scents being at work and he minimizes using too much perfume while
doing
sports. A man who is expert in all these perfume details will arouse
the undiminishing
interest from both women and men.
