Everything you need to know about Cologne and men's perfume

With a cologne or perfume you try to distinguish yourself as a man. Do not buy the scents of the big well -known brands. Only use unique and distinctive men's scents. For men, the choice of the right Cologne and men's perfume is more complex than for women. As a man you of course have to deal with the use of shaving and beard products. Of course you want the scent of your men's perfume to fit perfectly with the scents of your shaving soap, aftershave or beard oil. In addition, the time of day is important. For the day during work you do not want to use too heavily present perfume, but prefer a light cologne. But for the evening during a weekend with a new boyfriend or girlfriend you prefer a nice sultry seductive scent. In the fall, warm or woody scents are popular. In the summer, most men use a wonderfully fresh perfume.

The scents of Cologne and perfume

All men's odors can be divided in five scent or olfactory families: fresh, floral, oriental, woody and fougère (woody). Every scent is structured like a pyramid. It first starts with the top notes. After a few minutes you can smell the middle notes. Finally, it is the base notes that continue to smell on your skin for the longest time.

The difference between an after shave, cologne and perfume

Aftershaves ensure a fresh and clean feeling on the skin and are much less strong in scent than colognes or perfumes. An aftershave has the lowest percentage of odor components (2% to 4%). The scent of an aftershave has disappeared after a few minutes or even. You can also apply or splash an after shave directly to the newly shaved skin. 

A Cologne contains more odor components (5% to 10%) than an aftershave. You continue to smell a cologne for a few hours. The Cologne will smell much less present during the day. 

A perfume has compared the most scent compared to a Cologne and aftershave. It contains the most concentrated amount of odor components (10% to 20%). A perfume continues to smell and hang all day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Prefer to use my cologne or men's perfume

How do you use a Cologne and men's perfume?

You use a Cologne and perfume after shaving or the aftershave treatment. You do not spray a cologne and perfume directly on the newly shaved skin. A little bit of cologne behind the ears in the neck region or on the wrists is sufficient. You should not turn the applied odor dry between the hands or wrists. One or two puffs, and that's it. A cologne and perfume develops. In the beginning you may still smell the alcohol. After a few minutes you get the scent that will smell the rest of the day.

An aftershave, cologne and perfume contain alcohol and odor components. Never use alcoholic shaving products if you have dry or sensitive skin.

Find my scent

How do I determine my favorite Cologne or perfume?

Determining the right scent is of course very difficult. Which scent suits you is personal. If you are going to choose a cologne or perfume you always have to ask yourself, "What do I like smelling?" Are you a lover of forest scents or do you like to smell floral scents? Or do you like spicy exotic scents? If the weather is warm, fresh citrus scents or light perfumes are pleasant. If it is autumn, warm and woody scents are popular. 

Because the scents of a Cologne or Parfum are structured as a pyramid, you also notice that your perfume will smell differently a few minutes after spraying. In the beginning the alcohol also dominates. Alcohol evaporates quickly. Then the other notes appear. The pH value or acidity of your skin also influences odor development.

Which perfume fits best with my shaving soap or beard oil?

Shaving and beard products are also perfumed or contain a scent. After shaving or taking care of the beard, it is nice if the smell of the Cologne or perfume fits well with the smell of these care products. The choice of your perfume starts with your favorite shaving soap or beard oil. On the basis of the five odor families you can properly determine for yourself which scents fit well together.
