Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Browse through his current cologne collection. This will help you get an idea of some of the scents he generally wears and may give you a clue as to what smells he prefers.

2. Check out different colognes at the store. Test each out fragrance and find the ones you’d like to smell on him. Price each of them as well so you can get an idea of what you need to spend.

Tips & Warnings
