The use of perfumes, in this time of the abolition of gender roles, is no longer exclusively a feminine matter. Gone are the days when the prototype of a real man was a hard-working athlete with a specific odor. In an effort to impress the opposite sex, nowadays men must not only take care of their appearance but also ensure that they do not become repulsive, thanks to odor, for the desired partner, which none of us will avoid after a day's activities.
The first step in this process is to select a suitable neutralizing agent that will reduce sweat formation or eliminate odor. The basis is therefore regular hygiene and use of deodorants, which in this case acts as a base, which should be accompanied by a fragrance (perfume, cologne, eau de toilette) of your choice, corresponding to your tastes and underlining the fashion style that the man professes or prefers.
How to choose the right fragrance for men
Fragrances for men can be a very tricky matter, especially if they are not chosen with care and do not take into account the overall appearance and style of the man. Therefore, you should follow these rules:
1. Choose according to your taste 
Although we choose the fragrance to smell good for our surroundings, it should be primarily pleasant for us. If you prefer more intense tones, try the distinctive cologne. If you are rather gentler, reach for eau de parfum with less striking tones, which is suitable for all-day wear. The primary intention is that the fragrance fits you and is in harmony with your taste.
2. Get advice, take someone with you
If you decide to choose perfume in the store, do not be afraid to ask the opinion of the seller, or even better, take with you a friend who will advise you whether the selected fragrance fits you. It is always good to know the view of the surroundings, then there is less risk of making a mistake.
3. Try how the fragrance smells directly on your skin
Every perfume smells a little different in the bottle and on the skin, where it blends with your natural pH and specific odour. If you want to know what the real perfume will be when you wear it, apply it to your skin and let it develop for a while. You also need to take into account that the scent of perfume gradually changes - basically each consists of three tones:
- top - they are apparent immediately and form the basic and most intense smell of the fragrance, which will quickly disappear after application,
- middle - there are tones that the perfume holds for about an hour after application
- base - forms the perfumed fragrance, which remains on the skin for several hours after application
So, if you choose a fragrance, take your time and divide the process into a few days to catch the base notes of the fragrance.
4. Choose several fragrances depending on the current season
The true scent of the perfume is influenced not only by time but also by your lifestyle and seasons. If you are accustomed to eating differently and changing the activity curve during the seasons, you should also adjust to the current perfume brand you use.
