Ladies, here's the secret: men who don't wear cologne aren't all that concerned with how they smell for themselves. If you're looking for great discount cologne for men to put on your man, you get to pick out your favorite, not his. No matter what fragrance you choose, you'll have three layers of scent, the top note (sharp and immediate), the heart note also known as the middle note,(the first fragrance after the top note fades, about a minute), and the bottom note. The bottom note is the most important one for men's fragrances; this is because men don't reapply cologne like women do, and this part of the fragrance is the one that lingers after your man is gone and is the one you will associate with him. So your first rule for buying discount men's cologne perfume: focus on the bottom note above all. This is not easy to do, as a casual check in the store will not give you the bottom note. Instead, when testing cologne fragrances, spray them on a tester card, make sure the card is labeled, and take the card with you. If you're testing several types of men's fragrances, bring little plastic baggies with you and slide the card into the baggie. (The clerk may give you a strange look, so you can just let them know you're waiting for the bottom note before choosing a cologne; that should do it.) Later, you can lay the cards out in a dry location, wait a few hours, and choose the bottom note you like from this. This brings me to the second rule of buying cheap cologne for men (inexpensive but high quality): sample in stores so you really know what the fragrance smells like. This goes for both branded fragrances like Ralph Lauren Cologne, Creed Cologne, as well as cheaper non name brand scents. If you love the bottom note in Fragrance X, say Escada cologne,and another cologne has the same bottom note, you'll probably like it too. Better, you'll have the labeled cards with scent on them to smell, which will help you choose the perfect fragrance once you come back online. (Hint: if you have a scent card that is so dry you can't smell the scent, dab just a drop of unscented mineral oil on it and warm it under a light.) While you're sampling your discount men's colognes, make sure you try samples from all sorts of men's colognes: fruity, earthy, ocean-based, woodsy, etc. Even a cheap cologne that you dislike at first may have a bottom note that makes your mouth water. For instance, Daytona, an Elizabeth Arden cologne for men, has a fruity base, which used to be associated with women's fragrances. Other men's colognes use ylang-ylang as a middle note, though this rare flower is the primary scent in Chanel No. 5. Bottom-note fragrances that you'll especially like in a discount cologne for men include oriental notes (like sandalwood, amber, vanilla, balsam, and certain incense notes) and woodsy fragrances (usually cedar or pine.) The discount cologne for men you ultimately choose, you'll have to live with. Make sure you select the perfect one for you and your man, and you'll be grateful for a long time. __________________________________________________________________ When considering what kind of discount men's fragrance or discount women's perfume to buy, keep in mind that just like your retina and fingerprints, your sense of smell is very unique.
