How Men Can Use Perfume To Convey A Message To Others

Many men have an ambivalent attitude towards men's perfume that means, they may like smelling perfume on someone else (especially their partner) but may be nervous about wearing it themselves. This is because they may be afraid that men's perfume may either signify to others that they are homosexuals; that they are vain; or that it might bring unwanted attention to themselves from other people. There might be other reasons, but these are the main three.

One way to get men to wear men's perfume is if it is partnered with a woman's perfume under the same label a technique being used by David Beckham and his wife Victoria of the Spice Girls to market their combo perfume package for men and women under the label Intimately Beckham Night. David also has his own previously-released personal label for men's perfume called Instinct which came out in 2005.

The Obsession for Men range by Calvin Klein is a bestseller in its own right, and a partner of the Obsession for Women range. This may explain why Obsession sells so well.

Dune by Christian Dior is another long-standing top-selling perfume. Anyone who has ever smelled this knows it bears similarities to Obsession.

One little-known secret among many people is that some women like to wear men's perfume, and for some it may even suit them. It all depends on the body chemistry of the woman if it tends to become too overpowering, then someone might recommend that the woman try a lighter scent (perhaps something for spring or autumn.) And the woman can try out that scent by putting it on her pulse points where the skin tends to be warmest. Such places are: the inner part of the thighs, at the back of the knees, at the crook of your elbow, the middle of the chest, your collarbone, and of course, your wrists.

Geoffrey Beene, Hugo Boss, Dolce & Gabbana, Alfred Dunhill, Givenchy, Liz Claiborne, Davidoff, Ralph Lauren, Christian Dior, Versace, Perry Ellis, and Calvin Klein are the best men's perfume labels around (if you consider top-selling as the best.) Men's perfume is generally divided into Eau du parfum, Eau de Toilette, and Eau du Cologne.

Eau du parfum are the strongest smelling among all the men's perfumes around. It contains as much as 14% of natural extracts and fragrance oils. Those in the Eau de Toilette are lighter smelling than the Eau du parfum. Eau de Cologne is the lightest type of perfume there is. The heaviness or the lightness of a perfume depends on how much essential oils there are.

Perfume is perhaps the most easily socially acceptable form of make-up there is and it is an emotional form of cosmetic. If you smell a certain men's perfume, doesn't it remind you of someone male in your past (your father, your grandfather, perhaps a former lover?) Perfume can convey a message. In the earliest times, both men and women used to wear perfume, but somewhere around the way, it became taboo for men to wear fragrance. So now you have to re-discover how to wear perfume (if you are a man.)

If you are a man, it is best for you not to rely on a deodorant soap so that you can get the best out of your perfume. The deodorant soap tends to leave a film on your skin even after bathing which will eliminate any scents your perfume would give when you apply it.

If you and your partner like the same unisex perfume, that is a good option. This is a nice way to bond and share something that you feel makes you both feel good.

It is best not to apply any perfume on skin that has been shaved as it will sting and irritate.

Lastly, choose perfume that suits your personality as a man. One that will convey your love for men's perfume but will not convey a false message.
