scent of a man
They say they'll call, and they don't, but when it comes to fragrance, men are quite predictable. To choose a scent for the guy on your couch: * Check his closet If he's into one designer, chances are he'll like that designer's fragrance. * update a favorite Bring a bottle of his favorite cologne to the store, and ask a salesperson for a scent with the same notes. * Go ahead, stereotype him Sporty guys tend to like colognes with citrus or herb notes, says Veronique Ferval of International Flavors and Fragrances. Buttoned-up business types prefer refined smells (like lavender and patchouli), says Paul Austin of Quest International. Artistic men generally appreciate woody, smoky scents (think cedarwood and vetiver) or watery notes (like melon and cucumber). * Branch out For anti-cologne types, most brands offer hair-and-body wash, deodorant, and aftershave infused with a much subtler scent. --
