In the factory of men’s fragrances…

 Can men be “dressed up in perfumes” depending on mood and fantasy? Why not! Times when men couldn’t wear an intense smell of perfume are gone for good.

According to some experts from the perfume industry, differences between women's and men's fragrances are created for marketing purposes only. However men’s fragrances usually smells more intense and stronger than in the case of women's perfume. Whatever option is true, believe me, it is worth investing some time in figuring out what fragrance suits you most.

Lets have a look on my picks of 2011 but not forgetting that each cologne or perfume smells differently on different people and just because our friend smells good wearing a cologne doesn’t mean we will too!

                                             
Kokorico by Jean Paul Gaultier;

Created in collaboration with Puig and Firmenich’s perfumers Olivier Cresp and Annick Menardo, Kokorico is designed as a powerful and explosive aphrodisiac, emphasizing woody and cocoa notes. The top of the composition features refreshing fig leaves, which provide energy, the heart is filled with raw cocoa which stimulates (not the artificially sweet kind, but a natural extract), while woody notes of patchouli, cedar and vetiver express their masculinity and power.

The bottle instead of being tailored to the liken of a males torso, is instead shaped to the silhouette of Jean Pauls own cranium.

With this new perfume you prove by wearing it you'll be ultra-stylish! This new fragrance is a must have for being at the forefront of originality.

L'Homme Libre by Yves Saint Laurent;

It's called as most light, refreshing, and masculine all at the same time. L'Homme Libre suggests a powerful trend today - the comeback of the perfumes from the 90's, in a more serene, comfortable version where modern spices like ginger give a sparkle to the cotton sporty transparent facet of the fragrance. The L'Homme Libre man lives his life off-tempo. He is free to change his mind at a moment's notice for he moves to his own insatiable rhythm.

The scent features star anis, an accord of basil and violet leaves, which provide the energy while the woody notes of patchouli and vetiver hold the fragrance together.

BOSS Orange;

This new contender tries to mimic some of the Hermes goodness of Terre with an orangey opening and a nice frankincense mid note. As the designer says 'Orange represents the urban lifestyle in international metropolises and distinctively reflects today's zeitgeist'. Man wearing this fragrance is passionate, casual, spontaneous and relaxed. The composition is intensely spicy with notes of fresh apple, vanilla, warm incense and exotic African Bubinga wood.

For those of you who remember boss in motion green edition, this is its older brother.

                                                       Bleu de Chanel by Chanel;

It is a woody aromatic fragrance which starts with a big citrusy top note (lemon, grapefruit) and a strong metallic synthetic lavender. It is cold, lemony and aromatic with spicy accents from pink pepper. It's a very modern and sensual fragrance with long lasting scent. Bleu de Chanel comes in a navy blue rectangle shaped bottle with Bleu de Chanel on the front. It's very simple, just like most Chanel bottles.
