Men Tips

posted by KristiMambrose on Apr 13

When it comes to fragrances for men versus fragrances for women - it’s a very different thing. While women usually like things that are fruity or flowery - men enjoy things that smell spicy, musky or “rustic”. Perfumers keep working at producing fresher fragrances for men. The main fragrances which are blended to produce hundreds of varieties for men are citrus, spice, musk, herbal, woody, and leather. Sounds like a pretty good combination and it is! If you are a man and you are looking for a new fragrance or you have a man in your life that you are trying to buy for - then one place you should think about looking for them is online. Not only can you found millions of different options to choose from but the prices are always superb as well.

I like buying from these sites for my dad because not only will they have men’s fragrances but other things that would interest him as well such as men’s aftershave, cut throat razors and shaving brushes. Some men actually prefer using shaving cream and shaving brushes rather than the newer type of electronic shavers - they say it gives them a closer shave! One website I found online offered all kinds of products and even a guide to The Art Of Shaving - which was pretty cool and seemed to be very helpful and informative! Let’s take a look at a few of these products:

John Varvatos - Men’s Fragrances -
The John Varvatos fragrance is an instant classic bringing together notes that are both familiar and unique. Intense yet inviting, sophisticated yet relaxed - it is the embodiment of sensuality. The designer himself conceived the fragrance to convey the ideals of the John Varvatos lifestyle. It exudes confidence, elegance and masculinity with the perfect touch of softness to create a sense of intimacy. From the introduction to the finale, the fragrance is an alluring woody oriental blend of spices, woods and a hint of sweetness. Boasting several unique high perfumery ingredients, the John Varvatos signature scent caters to the man who values personal style and poise.

Geo F Trumper Aftershave -
SKYE is an airy, young fragrance with Ylang Ylang, Geranium, Neroli and Rosemary. SPANISH LEATHER is a warm woody fragrance, evocative of its name, with subtle Geranium, Rose, Musk and Patchouli. Spanish Leather is A stimulating warm woody fragrance with subtle notes of geranium, rose, close bud, musk and patchouli. 200ml splash Made in England. An unusually deep, rich intrigue glows from the lavish depths of this warm, heady fragrance. Hazy waves of sensual musk slowly bewitch the mysterious woody, spicy tones of patchouli.

Fusion Chrome Manual Razor -
The Fusion Chrome Manual Razor is perfectly balanced and weighted to feel like a natural extension of your hand, maximising stability and control. The sleek, contemporary handle is an ideal combination of ergonomics and innovative design, handcrafted in polished chrome, with black lacquered accents and a micro-textured grip surface.

Dovo of Solingen Tortoiseshell Finish Cut-Throat Razor -
The handle of this open razor is made from simulated Tortoiseshell, whilst the blade itself is hollow ground Carbon Steel. Open or ‘cut-throat’ razors shave far closer than the safety variety but require some getting used to (we provide instructions for use). For most men a shave with an open razor will keep stubble at bay sufficiently for two days. Dovo of Solingen are makers of the world’s finest open razors.

Obviously any of these gifts would be nice for you to have or for you to buy for the guy in your life! Most men are pretty much happy with anything - but go above and beyond and they will be ecstatic for what you give them - gift wise. If you want to check these types of products out online, then I’m almost 100% sure that you won’t only find what you want but also what you are looking for in your price range!
