Why Do Men Wear Strong Perfumes?

There is nothing to do with taste but everything to do with physiology. Men sweat and smell more than women. They have a naturally occurring body odour which can be unpleasant to people around them. Some call it manliness and being tough yet the body odour is pretty off-putting. It might have been attractive to ladies in old times, but no longer.

Henceforth, brands started creating something stronger to cover this body odour. Previous to this, elite men and royals used to wear floral scents. Yes, it might be a bit difficult to digest, but it is a fact.

Unlike elegant floral perfumes, strong perfume can mask the manly scent. They in some cases not only mask it well but eradicate it. Some of the preferred notes for stronger scents for men are woody, spicy, gourmand, and oriental. Initially, these combinations were a bit overbearing for the senses. And were marketed as the scent of the rough and tough.

Especially people with sensitive noses found them uncomfortable. But perfumers are now experimenting with the notes. Trying to introduce floral, citruses and herbs to manly perfumes. They want to make manly perfumes pleasant for the senses.

And it is now done by increasing the concentration of essence. With EDP perfumes, men these days can smell nice for a longer time. And maintaining personal hygiene contributes to it. There is a lot more to men’s perfumes than pungent scents.

Which Men’s Perfumes Are Great For The Office?

Unlike the general perception, a strong perfume for men can be nice as well. And you can wear them to the office without smelling weird. Go with a combination of sandalwood, roses, ginger, and vanilla for a nice everyday scent. You can get such a combination in #Gentleman. It is a strong but soothing perfume for everyday use.

You can also try a combination of herbs and fougere notes with woody. Perfumes like #IntoTheWild are good for everyday use. They are elegant but work well with an 18% essence concentration. If you want something warm, try #Challenger. This perfume is rich in oriental notes with bourbon, musk, and a hint of spices. It is great for evenings and the winter season for men.

Along with getting good perfume for the office, try to wear it properly. Intense perfumes can be a disaster for professional use if you apply too much. Try to spray only once or twice on your skin. Focus your pulse points while doing so. Wearing too much perfume can be off-putting for your personality. You can also try to layer a pungent perfume with any subtle scent. Use perfume oils or EDPs for this. It helps in creating a unique aroma while you enjoy an intense scent.
