If you are a man and if you are wondering what all the fuss about men who smell good is, get ready to earn about it. Would you like to stand by r converse with a person who smells rotten at the very start of your day at work? Of course not! So, it's always a good idea to groom yourself if you want to be taken seriously in both social and professional circles. Having said that, simply finishing half a bottle of the cheapest cologne will not get the work done. To save you from the embarrassment, here is a step by step guide on how to get the best out of a men's cologne.

Get to know a little about how cologne's work

 To sum it up in short:

·         Colognes contain many flavors of smell. Each flavor is a called a note.

·         The evaporation rate of the notes depends on the alcohol to oil ratio in the cologne.

·         The notes that evaporate the fastest are called the top notes. The ones that last a bit longer are called middle notes and the ones that linger the most are called base notes.

Choose the right one

Rule of thumb while choosing a cologne for yourself: always look for scents that will suit your personality and not for the fragrance that you think will entice women. When you are going to buy cologne, it is a good idea to do a little bit of homework and have your preferred list of fragrances that you might want to try. Online reviews or asking a few friends will help you get started with this. Choose a store that is serious about the business rather than drugstores. To test the cologne, take a paper testing strip and spray the cologne on it, away from your face. Wave the strip in the air and then waft it by your nose. You'll smell the top note. Then put the strip inside your pocket for an hour or so and then bring it out and smell it. This will give you the scent of the base note which is what you are going to smell like all day if you choose to wear this cologne.

Applying cologne: less is more

The correct application is as important as choosing the right fragrance for yourself. A good method to apply cologne can be:

1.      Spray it a little on your hands

2.      Pat the cologne on both sides of your neck

3.      Pat it on your wrists as well and then press your wrists together. Do not rub it.

If you are just getting started on this journey of fragrance, don't fret at the big words or the big bucks that you might think you have to spend. There are some typical scents that never go wrong and are good to start with, like the Jacqui andDavid Dynamic Body Spray. It has the top notes of lavender, mint and rosemary, the middle notes of germanium jasmine and juniper and the base notes of amber, musk, sandalwood and cedarwood. The JD Man Dynamic Body Spray 50 ml is a well-priced product to fit into everyone's budget. So, go out and smell like the man you want to be.
