Indulging Your Senses

 

Colognes are something I think men can learn more about and be willing to expand their options.  How many colognes do you own and use? I really want to know, so please comment below! As time has passed I've been more perceptive and willing to try out new scents. When you try out different colognes you'll learn what you like and what you don't. There's needs to be that trial and error. Fortunately this is not life or death, so take some risks. If you feel you need a brief introduction to the world of fragrances and its jargon then go here. After checking out my cologne guide you'll be able to articulate your thoughts on why you like it or not. One of the colognes I've come across recently is POLO RED by Ralph Lauren and I'm pleased with its soft yet masculine scent.

A cologne adds an extra weightless layer to your outfit and life. Whether you are going to work or out on the town there is a cologne that will be right for you. Next time you are out looking for a cologne try something new and check out POLO RED, you'll see for yourself how well it will fit your lifestyle.

Scents 101: Tous Man

Spanish brand TOUS reached out and asked if I'd like to try out one of their newest colognes, TOUS Man. They sent it along with a description and I encountered a whole new set of vocabulary I wasn't familiar with. The cologne smells great and I couldn't quite put my finger on the best way to describe the scent to others. So here goes, I did a bit of research and found this handy glossary from In To The Gloss, thanks!

Top Notes: Orange, Grapefruit breeze - Which means, it's the lightest note and the first thing you smell.

Heart Notes: Mint, Guaiac wood - They lie somewhere in the middle of the notes and usually deal with florals

Base Notes: Tonka beans, is from a seed and is very vanillic with a hint of cinnamon. Vetiver, is an essential oil from the roots of tall grass form India but can also be found in Haiti.

In short I would describe this scent as light and fresh. It smells better and better as time time goes by.
