Men's Perfumes

In the XX century, most European fashion houses started producing perfumes with the series for gentlemen and monsieur. Modern male fragrances are known for their diversity. They can emphasize their owners' status or smooth out the sharp image with a delicate flavour. Most manufacturers tried to make them as unlike each other as possible.

Development of men's perfumes

• Fifty years ago, there were very few men's products in the perfume market. They had a typical smell and were intended for the chosen customers. However, people from different countries preferred different scents (unlike women who preferred Parisian perfume to guarantee elegance, refinement, and taste.
• The first post-war perfume in France was "Rochas Moustache", with the smell of forest, moss, fern and citron. In Italy, it was "Aqua di Silva" with the scent of pine, in the US – "Old Spice", and in Germany – "Tabac Original". At the same time, the English preferred lavender in the classic aroma "Yardley English Lavender".
• Undoubtedly, the creation of "Eau Sauvage" in 1966, which contained the notes of citron, rosemary and wild flowers, marked the beginning of masculine perfumery. However, the real boom of masculine scent started in the USA two years earlier with the emergence of "Brut Faberge". This fragrance, which represents a combination of fresh scents on a musky and woody background, is deliberately defiant and sexy. It is very different from the exquisite eau de toilette for Tuxedo Nights. Brut combines masculinity and sensuality with natural harshness, free and modern. It was the first product that reflected social upheaval and emancipation.

The range of aromas is rapidly expanding, presenting an extensive range with various nuances. You can see the image of a man – courageous, but at the same time elegant, adventurous and seductive. He takes care of his own body and considers this care as a kind of ritual.

What to take into account when selecting a men's perfume?

People who want to buy men's fragrances should remember that they are conditionally divided into daytime and evening. Daytime scents are associated with strictness, restraint, and sometimes refinement, while evening aromas are bright, attractive and perfect for parties and celebrations. The choice also depends on the main purpose of the scent – the latter must reveal its owner's character.

For example, charismatic men's perfume will emphasize the image of a strong-willed and ambitious man. Energetic guys choose invigorating, brutal and seductive compositions, while romantics prefer fresh, tender, aquatic and sweetish floral fragrances. Business people choose solid and elegant perfumes. After reading the description and feedback, one can easily select men's perfumey to any taste, especially since there are many groups of fragrances – from aldehyde, aquatic and herbal to amber, Oriental, woody and leather.
