Men's Fragrances – It is Not Just Women Who Want To Smell Good

Up until very recently, fragrances, also referred to as perfumes or scent, were strictly for the female. Not anymore! Today, men can wear scent - in fact it is encouraged by many women and, of course scent manufacturers, and there is a huge selection of fragrances for men to choose from.


Today’s “metro man” is a modern man who is very secure in his sexuality and his sensitivity. The “metro man” is also secure in his intuition and inclination for style, grooming and fashion. Most man today do not feel less masculine or less heterosexual just because they like to look, feel and smell good!

After the birth of men's fragrances, it wasn't long before all the leading scent companies got onto the bandwagon providing a diverse range of fragrances. The market is growing fast every day. With A-list celebrities such as David Beckham and some of the leading stars in the hit TV programmes promoting perfume for men, the demand for men’s fragrances is growing rapidly.

One of the top selling fragrances for men on the market today is Black Code by Giorgio Armani. This popular scent has subtle citrus undertones with the main notes consisting of Bergamot, and Guaiac Wood and a little Bergamot and Aromatic Mediterranean flavours. Black code can be worn for any occasion and is perfect for wearing to work. It is not a heavy or over-bearing scent which makes it a great choice for everyday use.

Acqua Di Gio Pour Homme by Giorgio Armani, is also one of the popular men fragrances in the U.S and has been one of the top sellers in the last few years. With its fresh, light-hearted notes of Bergamot, Mandarin, Persimmon, Rosemary, Neroli, Nrasturtium and Jasmine, it is a great summertime scent and has an “optimistic” aroma. The Armani ranges are particularly popular and were one of the first brands to sell scent for men. The emergence of Armani ranges of scents for both men and women allow couples to buy scents which complement each other.

You don't have to be a metro-sexual male to wear scent. Men's perfume is simply a modern word for after-shave or the rather old fashioned cologne – and gives the worn out men's aftershave selections a new lease of life for the 21st century.

Having a great scent is essential for every man – and can create a positive impact in any aspect of man’s life – profession, career, sports, or romance.
