Vogue’s guide to the 35 best colognes for men
No matter what your sensory preferences are, remember that there is nothing like the best cologne waters for men – some simply do not correspond to your personality, and what you like could also depend on the season, the atmosphere and the mood that you feel that day. It’s part of the pleasure of experimenting with different perfumes – don’t be afraid to try something new.
In your exploration, do not leave the classifications of notes dissuade you. In general, the head notes refer to odors on the first puff, the medium notes are generally the heart of the perfume, and the basic notes are the aromas that tend to persist on the skin. Understanding this can, of course, inform your purchase. Once you become more comfortable with the perfume profiles, you will be able to distinguish the preferences of your men’s cologation – whether you gravitate to rich musks or something light and citrus. This fall and winter, for example, you could appreciate more comfortable and spicy elixirs that recall the evenings passed by fire or a warm embrace.
Are the collognes and the perfume for men the same?
Colognes and perfumes for men are both excellent choices for anyone looking for a new perfume. The difference is, however, that the Cologne has a less than a quantity of perfume oil in their compositions: the Cologne are generally formulated with perfume oil of 2 to 4%, the perfume includes around 20%and a noufon by 15%. That said, while all these elements smell well, of course, a perfume for men or liquor would last longer than a hug.
What is the difference between eau de toilette, eau de parfum et Cologne?
“The term eau de toilette came from the French term – to make its toilet – which means to prepare,” explains Linda Levy, president of the Fragrance Foundation. How long they depend on the composition of perfume oil. Eau de perfumes contain 15 to 20% perfume oil, compared to Cologne, which uses 2 to 4%. “The toilet water is much lighter than the Eau de perfumes and have a concentration of perfume between 5% and 15%.”
