Speaking Of Scents

So you’ve secured a big date for Friday night; as the work week passes, you begin to feel nervous. Even after picking out your nicest clothes, ironing them and laying them out well in advance, you can’t help but feel there’s something missing. A friend recommends you try his cologne as it “never fails to impress the ladies.” Hang on a minute: One scent does not fit all.

In fact, a men’s designer cologne might smell very different on you compared to the way it smells on someone else. Each body will have a unique reaction to the cologne, and that’s without even factoring in natural body heat. Apply the scent to your pulse points to get a general idea for its intensity. Ask a friend or roommate if the smell is overpowering; if so, dial it down with a more subtle scent.
