How To Find Signature Scents
The world of fragrance for men is vast. Aftershaves and popular body sprays flood the men's personal care market, but few stand the test of time while maintaining good taste.
Old Spice is probably at the top of the list of classic, 'signature-worthy' scents which are generally considered 'drugstore' brands. It's a classic, time-tested fragrance that is a signature cologne of many who were introduced to its blend of oriental spice and freshness as young men during bygone eras.
Other drugstore-type scents include Stetson for Men,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Aspen, Canoe, English Leather, Preferred Stock and many other low price fragrances for men. They don't smell bad, but they are of much lower quality than the more venerable scents this article will explore: high quality fragrances that are 'signature-worthy.' Such colognes are "classics" in their own right because of their stable presence in the marketplace over many years.
Men who are seeking a signature cologne or eau de toilette will likely be individuals who find low-priced drugstore fragrances repulsive. On the other hand, there are men who have had a signature cologne for many years, but did not do any searching; Old Spice or English Leather are all they really know. This is not a bad thing - it's a preference thing. There are few things more personal than choosing a signature fragrance.
Some men have signature scents that are very popular and common such as Acqua di Gio and Cool Water for Men. These particular fragrances are higher quality than the drugstore brands and are readily available at department stores,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. The colognes available there are usually very 'crowd-pleasing' and are often favorites of a man's significant other,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
One key factor in fragrances such as these is they are designed to have 'top-notes that sell' - pleasant initial aromas when sprayed on skin or paper. Many bottles of cologne are sold simply because they smell good initially. Most such scents end up smelling cheap and synthetic after a short time on skin or clothing. In contrast, the glory of a signature scent is its humble, simple complexity.
The aforementioned are good all-around fragrances for a low price with a couple examples of department store quality staples with higher price tags. If the price of your signature scent is important, drugstore brands are a good first step.
If you can spend a little more, there are many reputable online sources for discounted popular scents such as Cool Water and Acqua di Gio that can save a lot of money compared to the same thing in a department store. Don't forget to search for coupon codes online to use at checkout and save even more.
If you can afford to pay retail at Macy's for your favorite cologne, (think Armani,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Burberry, Bvlgari, Truefitt Hill) then you can also probably afford to try some"classic" mens fragrances. These colognes are a step above in quality and price than colognes offered in a high-end department stores and are typically made in France.
Classic here refers to high quality fragrances that have been around for a while. Examples of such fragrances can be found in some department stores, but in general they are under more exclusive names and harder to find in brick and mortar shops.
Online perfume and cologne shops, as well as eBay, continue to be excellent sources for classic men's fragrances at below retail prices. To better evaluate your options when searching for a signature scent,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], consider trying sample vials and sprays so you can see how a particular cologne works on your skin.
Polo by Ralph Lauren in the green bottle is a classic man's cologne. This was first introduced in 1978 and has been a signature of many ever since. Polo green is instantly recognizable and an American classic. Made in the USA rather than France,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's just about as classic as men's fragrance gets. Think green, herbal, spice, pine, tobacco, and musk to get a feel of what Polo green is all about. This is one of few classics that can be found in department stores and often Target or Walgreens. Polo original in the green bottle is an excellent choice if you want a classic signature scent. Go easy on the trigger; a little Polo green goes a long way. Noteworthy classic examples that are similar in quality and effect include Aramis for Men,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Azzaro for Men and Chanel Antaeus. Drugstore quality options include Quorum,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Halston Z-14, Chaps and Stetson.
Guerlain Vetiver for Men is a classic fragrance for men introduced in the 1950s. Vetiver has been a signature scent for discerning gentlemen for decades. Think citrus, green, earthy, pepper, tobacco for a sense of its aura. Vintage bottles of Guerlain Vetiver from the 1990s and earlier are sold at premium prices on eBay. Vetiver for Men by Guerlain is available in some brick and mortar locations such as Macy's and Sephora, but can also be found in some airport gift shops and online, of course. The house of Guerlain in France makes high quality fragrances for men and women, some of which have been around since the 1800s. As a classic signature scent for men, few play the part as well as Vetiver.
Since we're talking classics for men and Guerlain, it's important to mention Guerlain's Heritage and Habit Rouge. The former was introduced in the 1980s,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the latter in the 1960s. Both have stood the test of time and are time-honored traditions for men around the world. Heritage is a strong balance of citrus, lavender, pepper,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cedar, patchouli, and vanilla. Habit Rouge is more sweet, oriental, and leathery with vanilla. Both are of superb quality, but must be sampled properly to appreciate the depth and simple complexity inherent in Guerlain creations. Get a small vial or sample spray to try these out before you buy. These are designed to be consistently appreciated over time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], rather than loved at the fragrance counter and neglected behind the cough syrup. Quality lasts.
England has some purveyors of classic, barbershop-style fragrances that are well worth your time. Truefitt Hill is one such company that offers a wide range of choices from spicy and rich Spanish Leather to light and refreshing West Indian Limes. Two of the more popular offerings are Clubman and Freshman. These are high quality classics that resemble Polo Sport and Cool Water, respectively. For men who want a classic signature scent with a barbershop-feel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], check out colognes made in the United Kingdom. Some Truefitt Hill fragrances can be found at Macy's or similar department stores. Online vendors offer a wider selection British scents.
As mentioned earlier, fragrance is a very individualized experience. Some may find fragrance A too strong and sweet, while another may think fragrance A is soft and spicy. These two people might then have different opinions after the fragrance settles for a few hours. Try fragrance A on a different person's skin and it's a whole new ballgame. If a classic signature scent is sought, then care must be taken. Good things take time to discover.
Don't rule out a cologne because you don't like it right away; give each scent about three days of wear before deciding. Discover which aromas you like; sweet, spicy, floral, etc. Search for fragrances online that feature your favorite "note" or fragrance accord. Use the several online resources that breakdown the vast array of scents into clusters of similar scents. Purchase small sample vials and sprays based on what fragrances or aromas you already know you like,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and go from there. Fragrance forums and reviews can be very useful for finding real world advice and experiences of specific fragrances. Your research will pay off.
- Be careful to not apply too much or too little. Sometimes a cologne can seem too strong at first, but then it calms way down and vice versa. Know how your fragrance behaves with your skin chemistry. Apply fragrance to skin only and not directly onto clothing.
- Don't over-smell. Take your time when evaluating a fragrance by not smelling yourself too often (if possible.) Instead,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], wait for wafts of scent to surprise you. A fatigued nose often benefits from rest and smelling the inside of a coffee bag or tin.
- Pay attention to development. Most quality scents will change when they are on your skin. Some will become woodier or spicy or sweet, others will seem musky or leathery. If you wear the same fragrance for several days,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], oftentimes new facets of the fragrance come through.
- Have more than one classic signature fragrance on hand. While it's nice to have a No. 1, having a few 'almost as good' options will allow you to take a short break from the old standby. This helps to keep to keep the nose fresh so you can better enjoy your signature scents.
