Cologne Dos for Men
When a guy passes by wafting a very subtle manly yet fragrant scent, you cannot help but follow his progress with an admiring look. But when a guy reeks of a very strong powerful sweet scent several meters away, the natural tendency of people he passes by is to turn away in embarrassment; for him. So how should a guy choose and wear a scent? For you, here are some cologne dos that might help:
• Do try it on before you buy
The only way to know if cologne and your body chemistry will blend is to try it on.
Don’t be hustled by a pushy sales lady in buying the 1st cologne she proffers to you. Try it on by dabbing a little of it on your skin, usually at the inside of your wrist or behind your ear lobe. Wait for some time to see if you will have any allergic reaction to it, and for the body chemistry to react to the cologne. If the cologne smells as good on your skin as inside its bottle and stays on with a delicate and subtle scent, then buy it.
• Do find out what your skin type is
One of the most important factor in choosing a cologne is your skin type. If your skin is dry, you may have to re-apply your cologne several times during the day to stay appealingly nice smelling. If you have oily skin, one application will be enough since your skin can maintain the scent even all day long.
• Do apply your cologne after a shower
Cologne works best with clean skin. It won’t cover up an unwashed body in fact it could do you more harm in the smell department. Applying a cologne after a hot shower or bath is even better. The warm water temperature will open your pores, and when your pores are open, it can absorb and retain the smell of the cologne better.
