Understanding Fragrance Category. There are many different types of men’s perfumes.

Eau de Toilette (EDT): EDTs have a stronger fragrance than colognes. The fragrances last longer. The combination of freshness and longevity makes this a great choice for both everyday wear and evening.

Notes on common fragrances: Understanding the notes of a perfume is essential to choosing a scent that suits you. Fragrances are a blend of top, middle, and base notes. Men’s fragrances include the following:
Notes top: The initial or burst of fragrance you experience when you spray perfume. Citrus, marine notes, and bergamote are the top notes in most perfumes. These notes create a refreshing, invigorating smell.
The mid notes (also known as heartnotes) are the next note after the top notes. These form the foundation of the fragrance. Floral, fruity, or spiced notes, for example, add richness, depth and complexity to a fragrance.
The base notes are the last and longest lasting notes that come out after middle note. Woods, vanilla and musk form a solid base. The base gives it its unique character.
What is the Best Fragrance? The choice of fragrance is based on personal preference and personality. Here are some suggestions on how to find your ideal fragrance:
You should choose the appropriate fragrances for every occasion. Lighter scents are ideal for daytime wear. Keep stronger or sophisticated fragrances for evening events.
Be aware of seasonal variations. Summer fragrances are fresh, citrusy and light while winter scents are warm, spicy.
