Here is a post that may address the previous and inevitable posts on what is the best fragrance to wear to get the ladies.
Those who post questions like this are usually of the younger age bracket so I will address this to them.
First things first, letâs get it straight that confidence is the most appealing trait for females and males. Confidence to be your own person, to do what you believe is correct and to be determined in your pursuits.
So get an education, go to the gym, have some hobbies and be comfortable with you. Basically have a life. When you have done that then continue reading.
Ok, letâs start with a generality.
Women like people who smell nice. How many times have you heard a woman say "he just smelled good"
Women like the sweeter scents.
Just smell some womenâs perfume for yourself. I have known some men to be given the most compliments on their cologne after their girlfriend sprayed some perfume on them. Remember the confidence thing. Even some of the most masculine scents have a sweater note to them somewhere in that complex pyramid.
So you can start by looking at the colognes with a hint of sweetness, but I would suggest you try some of the more unique scents, not the popular ones.
Colognes such as Acqua di Gio may not necessarily be the best, it's only one of the best marketed. Most girls will say it's one of their favourites because it's one of the few they like that they smell all over the place. Doesn't mean you canât find one that smells better and smells original. And remember it may not be good for you to be wearing something that every man and his dog are using.
Be distinctive.
Plus, if you wear nice cologne that is rather obscure, for the most part girls will associate that scent with you and will have to be around you to smell it. That's another incentive to stay away from the really popular stuff.
With the above point in mind, I would suggest you pick a scent that will become your signature scent. This may take some trial and error.
I believe it's better to stick to one main scent and rotate it with a few others during different season, night/day etc. The reason is because smell is actually the strongest recognitory sense, so by sticking to the same cologne, you create your identity via your scent. More importantly, the scent will trigger someoneâs memories of their time with you and can act as an extremely powerful anchor.
Don't you find some perfumes remind you of an ex-girlfriend or some cologne you haven't used for a while can transport your mind back to the period (childhood, that special someone) you wore them?
So use classic conditioning to your advantage.
But donât just ignore the more common scents.
If you want to learn about the very deep world of fragrances it is best to understand everything, and what better place to start than with the popular fragrances. Some are very good. They are not popular for no reason.
Here is a very short list of SOME of these for your convenience.
Cool Water
Swiss Army
Romance - ralph lauren
Aqua De Gio - Armani
Polo Sport
Gucci Envy
Victorias Secret
Polo Blue
Cerutti Image
Joop
Eternity
Hugo Boss (The collection)
Find what appeals to you so that you are confident wearing it. It has been stated by many women that they would jump ····(insert super hunk/movie star/singer) even if they were covered in faeces. This is normaly due to the power of confidence exuded by these men, not the smell (I hope :-/).
So you may not want to be wearing a fragrance that makes you uncomfortable.
If you are having trouble, then you are in the right place. Basenotes is full of the most insightful and knowledgeable fragrance people I know. Ask your questions and you will always get a good response.
Happy hunting.
Ps. I take no responsibility for any future addiction to fragrances that may develop.
