Choosing Men's Perfume Made Easy

Men enjoy wearing perfumes as much as women do and that is the reason you will find a large variety available. However, men use fragrances for a different reason then just to enhance their natural body odor and that is as a disinfectant after shaving in order to close the pores and heal any eventual cuts.

Men's perfume is classified according to the amount of alcohol it contains. For example, an aftershave or cologne contains the highest amount of alcohol, which can be approximately 75% in some cases. It is generally applied directly on the face after shaving. Eau de toilette usually contains 50% alcohol and Eau de perfume 75%. Usually perfume houses don't create 100% perfume for men but there are some exceptions.

It is probably not advisable to purchase a man's perfume for someone you don't know much about because it is likely that he will never use it should the fragrance not suit his style or personality. If you know the man even slightly, you will be able to guide yourself to purchasing a suitable men's perfume in no time. Here are some considerations:

Purchasing Men's Perfume Guidelines

The first thing to consider when shopping for men's perfume is the type of fragrance he uses everyday. You can ask him discretely or guess by the fragrance tones from the perfume he already wears. The next important thing to consider is whether you are purchasing an everyday perfume or one specific to a time of the year or occasion. In winter, for example, men and women will wear stronger perfumes and in summer, lighter, fresher types. Last but not least, it would help to know if the person for whom you are purchasing the fragrance is allergic to any ingredient so you can avoid products that contain the irritant. Try and purchase a small men's perfume of 50ml or 30ml when not sure what to buy or a gift set where there are a few other choices available as well such as, face moisturizes and gels so he can use them in case the perfume was not suitable.

Additional Help

If you are purchasing a men's perfume for your husband or partner you can usually choose what you like, as men just like women are happy when their partner enjoys the fragrance that they are wearing provided it is not too different to what they are used to wearing. Guide yourself by considering his personality and present job and always try the fragrance that you are looking to purchase on a piece of paper before deciding.


Angel Perfume Review

One of the things I'd like to do in this blog is review some of the top perfumes and cosmetics by the leading market players. Today I'm going to look at Angel Perfume by Thierry Mugler.

It is available for both men and women and there are other products in the range besides perfume.

Angel for men comes in a cologne and a shower gel is packaged in a masculine silver bottle with Thierry Mugler’s signature star on the front.

The most distictive thing, apart from the fragrance of course, of the Angel Perfume for women is that is comes in a refillable bottle.

The Angel products  aren't as easy to find in stores as many other designer names, but it can easily be ordered online. (Try this online perfume outlet store for up to 80% savings). The only catch is that you won't be able to try it on your wrist before purchase. So, help use out here if you're an Angel perfume fan and tell us what you like about it by leaving a comment below.
