How to buy cologne that is right for you
All too often, cologne is selected based
on price, the shape of the bottle, and how it smells. But when
you're shopping for cologne, you need to remember that your
sense of smell can only detect three distinct smells before it
gets overwhelmed and starts to report inaccurately to your
brain.
Instead, you can shop for cologne much
more easily: by pictures. Check out the advertising and see what
kind of niche the cologne is marketing to: is it the rugged
outdoorsman as advertised in an outdoor lifestyle magazine? Is
it the active sports-lover in a magazine about basketball? Is it
the suave urbane male in a men's fashion magazine? Cologne
companies will market their brands to the type of person it is
designed for. So if you are "going for a certain look," the
marketing department of the cologne companies can help you
select the right scent for you.
Just remember, it is not you that is going
to be reacting to its smell. It's that beautiful woman who you
want to enjoy it and with smell closely linked to memory, you
want her to remember you for a long, long time!
