Fragrances for him

For men's fragrances, mainly differs between woody leather  fragrances.

Woody scents are extracted from cedar wood, amber or vetiver. These emphasize the masculinity and can be combined well with other scents of pepper, cinnamon or nutmeg. Fragrances with leather nuances usually smell smoky and are perceived as cosy. These fragrances are combined with floral oils and rounded off. The scent serves as an ideal base for other fragrances. The warm and slightly sweet aroma is often rounded off with floral and woody fragrances. The three categories are mainly used as a base note and mixed with floral or herbaceous essences. This creates a perfect and intense fragrance experience.

Perfumery – Did you know?

What does Eau de Toilette (EDT) mean and what is the difference with Eau de Parfum (EDP). The essence is the same. The difference between Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum is in the amount of pure perfume oil. Shortly, the difference is found in the intensity. Eau de Toilette is the perfect choice for daily use, keeping the fragrance for hours.

Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum? While Eau de Toilette contains 5-9% of perfume oil, Eau de Parfum usually contains 8-14%. Eau de Parfums therefore last longer and smell more intense. Natural or synthetic fragrances? Perfumes with natural ingredients often smell different in batches based on the source of the ingredients, while synthetic ingredients usually have consistency in their smell and lasts longer. 

Notes and different smell after application? Perfumes are often designed with top, middle and base notes, and designed to smell different based on the time after application.
