Have you ever stopped to wonder why so many celebrities have their own colognes and perfumes? I can’t help but wonder how they have the time. I mean, I’m not nearly as busy and still don’t seem to have enough time in the day.
The Daily Express has Quoted Gerard Butler on BBC Radio 1 as saying “I need a perfume. I need to tell my publicist to get that. He’s not got me any worth while branding. Clive Owen has his aftershave, Ewen McGregor has cologne. What do I have? Nothing. I don’t know what it would be like, but I need one.”
I think now after reading that quote, there may be a little competition involved, which, for all of us others, isn’t so bad. There are a lot of fine fragrances to choose from. Such as, Pure Orchid by Halle Barry, and White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor. Even young tennis great Rafael Nadal is the face of L’Homme Sport by Lanvin. So, in the future I would suggest keeping an eye out for a line of men’s cologne or maybe even women’s perfume with Gerard Butler’s name on it.
Japan is not excepting to Abercrombie and Fitch’s mens cologne
Abercrombie & Fitch has set up their first outpost in Japan and the Japanese are not taking to Abercrombie & Fitch as well as the United States has. Japan has a culture of subtlety and politeness that A & F apparently failed to assimilate with their bare chested male staff members.
Sex appeal may be a big part of their charm in the United States, but not so much in Japan. I hate to admit it but what I find quite hilarious is that the A & F branch has taken to giving the space a bath in men’s cologne and piping it through the ventilation. Makes you wonder if they will ever be excepted in Japan.
Scarlett Johansson is already the face for Dolce & Gabbana’s womens perfume, Rose the One. Well now her actor husband, Ryan Reynolds is the new face for Hugo Boss.
Ryan told Women’s Wear Daily that Boss is a brand that not only represents classic style and sophistication, but inspires men to work hard, embrace opportunities and strive for success in all aspects of their lives, and I’m honoured Boss invited me to be the face of its new men’s cologne.
A spokesperson for Boss told People magazine that Reynolds would be the face of two new, as-yet-unnamed scents.

In Nov. 2008 he launched his latest men’s cologne under the Sean John brand calling it “I am King” dedicated to Barrack Obama, Muhammad Ali and Martin Luther King. Stating in his blog “there is a black president and it’s time for there to be a black bond”. I am looking forward to seeing just what Sean “diddy” Combs has in store for us later.
Because perfume has a higher concentration of essential oils then cologne, perfume has 30% compared to cologne which has only about 8% by volume, it is considerably more expensive. Cologne does not last as long as perfume either and has to be reapplied after 2 – 3 hours, and you also need to apply more cologne then perfume.
What I don’t understand is why we refer to women’s perfume and men’s cologne? Take polo cologne for an example, depending on where you purchase this “cologne” you may pay $50.00 or more for a 4.2 oz bottle, and just a small amount needs to be applied and it doesn’t wear off in 2 – 3 hours. So should we not be referring to such men’s cologne as men’s perfume? Or does that sound to feminine?
When you think about Valentines Day and your significant other do you ever have to stop and think about what you are going to do for them? Well I do, as a matter of fact it is almost as bad as Christmas because I want him to know how much I love him.
In the past I have bought him chocolate and different kinds of men’s designer cologne, but I wonder why it would be so bad to buy him flowers? He always buys me flowers or chocolate or just a really sweet card, would it be so bad for a woman to buy her man flowers and a card to let him know how much he is loved? I really do wonder!
I have to admit, probably along with many other women, how I love a man that smells good. It doesn’t really even matter what the man looks like, it is just the cologne that he wears. It makes all the difference in the world as far as a first impression.
I met a Dr. not to long ago, that as far as looks go, I was not impressed at all, however, when I got closer to him I could smell his cool water cologne, and it was almost like I saw a totally different man. A man that I used to date wears cool water and now every time I smell it not only do I love the scent, but it brings back memories that I would not have thought of otherwise.
My husband and my grand kids are probably closer then any grandpa and grandson’s I know, they think the world of their grandpa and it is so great to watch them together. My grandson’s are 5 and 7 and like any other kids their age they are like little video recorders, I swear they soak everything up like a sponge.
A few weeks ago my husband and I were getting ready to go shopping, when John was all ready to go the oldest asked why grandpa smelled so good, I told him it was because of the men’s cologne grandpa was wearing. Needless to say while we were shopping grandpa had to buy the boys some cologne. Its kinda cute, because the kids don’t call it men’s cologne they call it man spray.
As a women, I feel the need to change things up a little bit every once in a while. Weather it be moving my furniture around or a certain type of hair style or change my perfume. Seriously, how many women only have one kind of perfume? You may have your favorites but we all like a change.
My husband is just the opposite and I think alot of men are the same, they like to wear only the one men’s cologne that they have been wearing for years. I have bought my husband different kinds of cologne for birthdays or Christmas hoping that he might like the change, all for naught, he always goes back to Drakkar. I just don’t get it. Hopefully one day I will find the one men’s cologne that can compete with Drakkar and soon.
