Tim McGraw launched his first cologne, McGraw, in 2008 by Coty. The fragrance opens with the scent of freshly grated nutmeg, the heart note, moss, which is appropriately used in the production of whiskey gives this fragrance it’s earthy natural essence. The base note has just a hint of Tennesse whiskey which gives McGraw it’s warm, slightly woody quality.
Since August 2008, Tim McGraw has made nearly $6 million in sales, making it the 6th best selling men’s cologne in the mass market category, not to bad for a cologne created by a country singer in just a little over a year.
His latest cologne, Southern Blend is now available and I might add either one would make someone a great Christmas gift.
It’s widely agreed that the sense of smell plays a large part in the science of attraction. Some researchers have even posited that humans give off pheromones, or chemical signals, in order to trigger a favorable response from a potential mate. Perfume and cologne are used to enhance these effects and to create a pleasant association between the wearer and the scent. Too much cologne can cause precisely the opposite effect.
An overabundance of cologne can be flat-out offensive in some cases. We’ve had the displeasure of being in close proximity to someone who splashed on way too much fragrance. The odor invades your nostrils and won’t relent. With this in mind, remember to apply men’s cologne with discretion. Subtlety is key, so try to limit your usage to a few dabs at a time.
When buying women’s perfumes or men’s cologne how many times have you wondered “just what are notes anyway?” Well it is obviouse we are not talking about music. Notes are used to describe the various scents of a perfume or cologne. Let me explain what I mean.
Top notes is the first scent you smell and generally last maybe 30 minutes because they evaporate rather quickly. Top notes are very important in making a first impression. Middle notes, may be also referred to as heart notes, thes are not as strong or dramatic as top notes and also don’t appear until about 45 minutes after application. Base notes is the grand finale of every good cologne or perfume. The base notes are the ingrediants that hold everything together. Musk is a common ingredient in base notes.
Science says that scents triggers memory. So there is much more to wearing cologne then just smelling nice. If you think about it, it is almost like wearing a scrapbook around your neck triggering memories of what you have been through, certain people that you may know or met at some point, or just reminding you of how you feel about life in general.
How true this is because whenever I smell Polo Cologne for men I am reminded of an old boy friend from high school. I guess that goes to show not all memories triggered by a certain scent is such a great thing since I am now married. I must admit that no matter how much I like the smell of polo cologne I do prefer that my husband does not wear it.
When it comes time for you to shop for perfume’s or cologne’s choose it because you like it and it also smells like you.
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.
