Determine when you will wear the cologne 

One aspect of choosing a signature scent that is often overlooked is the setting in which you plan to wear it. A scent that’s fit for the office is not appropriate for nights prowling the local clubs. If you plan to wear one scent on a daily basis, then you’re really looking for a balanced fragrance that fits your overall lifestyle.

Bring a woman with you to find your signature scent

Get over yourself and take your woman or a close female friend you trust to go with you and let her make the final choice with brutal honesty. She’ll love it and she’ll steer you toward the scent that men will find appealing on you.

Spray the scent on cards first

Don’t let the sales clerk at the counter spray anything on you. If she doesn’t offer to spray a sample on a card for you to smell, then ask her to do so. If the store does not have cards, you should go somewhere else to find your signature scent. After a few samples, your nose won’t know what it is supposed to be smelling; when you get to this point, ask to sniff some coffee beans between your various cologne options. Most well-equipped stores have a cup of beans at the fragrance counter to sniff between sample cards to cleanse your nose.

Let your final choice sit

Once you and your friend have chosen a scent, let it sit for a few minutes and then smell the card again. A strong scent will linger too long and become offensive. The right scent, however, will dissipate and settle into a nice pleasant aroma.

It Makes Scents

Most men need to find a new approach to matching their cologne choices to their body’s own natural scent. Keep in mind that what you find appealing may not be the best scent on you. After all, you’re not wearing a fragrance to please yourself, but to enhance your presence and to be appealing .
